Our World Series Game 7 Pick
You may recall that before the World Series started, we simmed it five times and said it could be too close to call, but we were giving the nod to the Royals. Four of those sims went the distance, so OOTP 15 was right on the mark when it said this would be a back-and-forth series.
We decided to do 10 sims of Game 7 with the projected starters and lineups and see how it might turn out tonight. The results were very interesting, and you can read all about them in our latest blog post.

The Mets: 150 Feet to the Outfield Fence and Their Playoff Dream
The New York Mets are one of those teams mired in some extended doldrums, and they've decided they're going to give the club a jolt next year by moving in the outfield fences a little bit. That prompted Sports Illustrated baseball editor Emma Span to joke in a tweet: "Queens, 2035: CitiField's dimensions are now 150 feet in all directions. Mets are out-homered, 1,215-1,049, and go 79-83."
And then we thought, "Well, what if a team lost their minds and actually moved in their fences to 150 feet?" Since OOTP lets you create just about any baseball world you want, we decided to give the Mets the stadium Span imagined, so Curtis Granderson could try to double the record for most home runs in a season. (Those of you about to email us regarding the rule that says fences can't be closer than 250 feet from home plate: Hush. Let us have our fun.)
With a little help from OOTP project manager (and FHM producer) Jeff Riddolls, along with the very useful Gambo's Stadium Chart for OOTP, we configured Citi Field's parameters and set the sim in motion. We actually ran it twice, once assuming the fence ran in a straight line and again with the idea that they would push the center field wall out a bit to a whopping 185 feet.
And wouldn't you know it, something crazy happened in the second sim. We'll let you read all about it on our blog.
That's it from us. Enjoy Game 7, and we'll see you next month!
