Los Angeles Claims Championship Over Toronto in Six Games in Strat-O-Matic Series Simulation

GLEN HEAD, N.Y. - EntSun -- Yoshinobu Yamamoto won both of his starts and Teoscar Hernandez delivered what would prove to be the series-clinching home run in Game 6 as Los Angeles defeated Toronto, four games to two, in a simulation of the baseball championship via Strat-O-Matic (@strat-o-matic), the market leader in sports simulations.

In the simulation, Yamamoto allowed just three hits and two runs over seven innings, fanning seven in Game Two, a 4-2 L.A. win, then was even better in Game Six, blanking Toronto over eight frames on two hits and no walks, striking out eight in the 2-0 triumph, for a 1.20 ERA to earn the series MVP honors.

Hernandez's two-run shot in the fourth was the only scoring in the clinching game. It marked the first extra base hit and RBIs for Los Angeles's right fielder in the series.

Shohei Ohtani hit .320 for the series, with three solo home runs, while Andy Pages drove in a series-best four runs. George Springer topped Toronto at .318 with two home runs and two doubles.

About Strat-O-Matic

Strat-O-Matic was invented by 11-year-old Hal Richman in his bedroom in Great Neck, N.Y. in 1948 as a result of his frustration with the statistical randomness of other baseball board games. He discovered that the statistical predictability of dice would give his game the realism he craved. Over the next decade, he perfected the game at summer camp and then as a student at Bucknell University. After producing All-Star sets in 1961 and '62, he parlayed a $5,000 loan from his father (and made a deal that if it didn't work out he would work for his father's insurance company) into the original 1962 Strat-O-Matic Baseball season game. Needless to say, Hal never had to take a job with his father.
