Wednesday night brings the baseball enthusiast the pleasures of high-stakes wild card action, as the Giants and Mets get together in Queens for the right to face the Cubs in the NLDS. We've already amply previewed the San Fran-New York clash, and now it's time for some additional soothsaying.
To that, we'll turn to Strat-O-Matic, the beloved baseball simulation of long-standing. In keeping with their mission, they've simulated the NL wild card game. Curious as to the final score? Feast thine eyes below ...
| Team | Runs | Hits | Errors |
 | 1 | 7 | 0 |
 | 2 | 3 | 0 |
Since it's a Madison Bumgarner-Noah Syndergaard matchup, it comes as no great surprise that Strat foresees runs as being hard to come by. So the Mets win despite scratching out just three hits on the night. The heroes for the triumphant Queenslanders? As you'll find in the postgame write-up, Jay Bruce and James Loney -- True Mets, both -- played critical roles.
So congratulations, Mets, on your simulated triumph.
