re: DAT 8/2: Rays (Pruitt) @ Astros (Keuchel), 7:10 CDT

Deadline acquisitions don't change the WS projections much. Especially for a team that has nearly locked up a division. If you're the type of person who doesn't buy into projection systems then this is probably meaningless to you. But the Astros FO certainly has their own internal projection systems that they look at for all manners of things.

Projections very from site to site, but they all seem to have the Dodgers making the greatest improvement. Going from something like 24% to 26%. Not insignificant, but not the colossal change many view it as. I'm disappointed no larger additions were made, but I think the doom and gloom routine is overblown.
