Game 4 of the 2016 World Series between the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians is just hours 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.
What does Strat-O-Matic see happening on Sunday night? Let's take a look.
Game 5 projected score
| Team | Runs | Hits | Errors |
 | 0 | 3 | 0 |
 | 2 | 6 | 0 |
The story of Game 5's simulation? Jon Lester, who shut down the Indians' lineup. The other story? Ben Zobrist's solo home run in the second inning, which represented the eventual winning run. Chicago also scored a run on a triple by Addison Russell. With the win, the Cubs forced a return to Cleveland.
Will Strat-O-Matic get this one right? We'll find out soon enough.
