If I understood your original post, you are looking at a pre-season prediction made during Spring Training. That is a mistake if you are looking for accuracy.

The prediction issued automatically the day before the season starts is more accurate due to several factors. There are more pitchers and players in spring training and the prediction is factored using all these guys. The larger rotations are definitely factored in, a state you can verify by checking the projected starts of the leaders (low).

In any event, if you run a preseason during ST, it will change, often dramatically, for the opening day prediction.
