So the biggest headscratcher for me is Mike Soroka, who has been on IL since he last pitched on August 3 yet still went up two points (90 to 92).

Other headscratchers include:

Fernando Tatis, Jr.: hit for .357 average and .1117 OPS over the last week. Yet he fell four points. Many people, including myself, had expected him to possibly go to perfect level. For the year, he has hit at an overall ops of 1.073, which is significantly improved from his rookie season (no sophomore slump for him!) and (as fivethirtyeight.com recently noted: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features...e-ball-harder/ ) his velocity off the bat has significantly improved from his rookie year. I could certainly understand his not going up 3 points, but going down 4? That confuses me.

Marcell Ozuna: hit .370 in his last seven games with an OPS of .1156. His OPS for the year is now up to .908, significantly higher than last year and his career average. But he went down a point (from 86 to 85), and is only one point higher than he started the year at.

One possible explanation for the above is that the evaluation has a week lag --- like perhaps they don't include the previous week's statistics in doing the adjustment. That would also explain that Soroka's gain was deferred from last time since his last start before the injury wasn't included until this update..
