Game 6 of the 2016 World Series between the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians is a day away. As such, this is as good of a time as any to ask the serious questions -- like who does Strat-O-Matic predict to win?
Fortunately, the game's website provided the answers by simulating the series. Strat-O-Matic came awfully close to nailing the first game, as it pegged a 4-0 victory for the Indians. Cleveland won by a 6-0 score. The simulation for Game 2 picked the right winner (Chicago) and was correct about Trevor Bauer exiting early and Kyle Schwarber having a big night. Impressive. Then Strat-O-Matic nailed Game 3's 1-0 final -- and predicted that the Indians would win Game 4 with help from a home run by Carlos Santana. And, yeah, of course Strat-O-Matic pegged the Game 5 winner, too -- accurately predicting Jon Lester would throw a gem and the Cubs would win a tight one.
What does Strat-O-Matic see happening on Tuesday night? Let's take a look.
Game 6 projected score
| Team | Runs | Hits | Errors |
 | 2 | 10 | 1 |
 | 7 | 7 | 0 |
That's right, Strat expects the Indians to finish things off in Game 6, winning by a five-run margin. Cubs starter Jake Arrieta disappointed in the simulation, walking six batters in 2 2/3 innings. Danny Salazar, meanwhile, made an impressive relief appearance for the Indians -- allowing one baserunner in 1 1/3 innings. Jose Ramirez was the offensive hero for the Indians, driving in a pair of runs. Oh, and the final out? A Dexter Fowler fly out to Coco Crisp.
Will Strat-O-Matic get this one right? We'll find out soon enough.
