Bvp

it seems like the bvp info isn't always correct. I recall from last year as well. For example today josh Harrison vs wainright no data on site.  He's 6-19 lifetime.

I'll take a look at this. Thanks

Thanks.  I've used Rotowire in the past. Seems to be accurate.

BVP data is NOT taken into account in the DFS projections, correct? It's only shown for the people that are oddly interested in it?

Oddly interested in it?  New to dfs baseball?   It's one of the few concrete, consistent things to look at.

Correct ejs bvp stats don't impact projections

The samples tend to be small so we do not change the projections based on it.

Batter vs Pitcher data has almost no predictive value.
