At Baseball Prospectus, the Pirates have a 35% chance of making the playoffs based on their record right now, their remaining schedule, their performance thus far, and the PECOTA projections for the team. 

About Pat Lackey

In 2005, I started a WHYGAVS instead of working on organic chemistry homework. Many years later, I've written about baseball and the Pirates for a number of sites all across the internet, but WHYGAVS is still my home. I still haven't finished that O-Chem homework, though.
