Between 2020 and 2021, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves fought in back-to-back National League Championship Series (NLCS), with the winner of each duel advancing to win the World Series. In 2020, the Dodgers overcame a 3-1 deficit fueled by Mookie Betts' circus wall grabs and Cody Bellinger's Game 7 blast. In 2021, Eddie Rosario batted an absurd .560 with 3 HRs, while longtime Brave Freddie Freeman anchored the title run before crossing over to Los Angeles in 2022.

The simulation uses pitch-level Markov run-expectancy matrices calibrated against Statcast wOBA, strikeout rates, handedness platoon splits, and defensive positioning. When you click "Sim 1,000 Games", the engine executes 1,000 simulated 7-game postseason series with randomized pitching fatigue, high-leverage bullpen usage, and home-field advantage (Dodger Stadium vs. Truist Park).

Yes! Use the up/down arrows on each lineup slot to re-sequence the batting order. Clicking any player in the "Familiar Faces" panel will swap them directly into their respective franchise lineup so you can simulate hypothetical matchups (e.g. Freddie Freeman batting 3rd for the Dodgers against Max Fried).
