Game 2 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.

Here's what Strat-O-Matic foresees for Wednesday night:

Game 1 projected score

Team Runs Hits Errors
11 12 0
2 8 0

The key player in Game 2's simulation? Kyle Schwarber, who notched four hits (including two home runs) and drove in five runs. Trevor Bauer, meanwhile, struggled to get through 3 2/3 innings, yielding four runs along the way. Cleveland's usually strong bullpen allowed the other seven runs.

Will Strat-O-Matic get this one right? We'll find out soon enough.
