Strat-O-Matic predicts Mets win next four games of World Series

Fear not, Met fans. A World Series title is still in the cards ? and dice.
Terry Collins’ team may be trailing the Royals, 2-0, as the series shifts to Citi Field Friday, but according to the folks at Strat-O-Matic, the Mets are right on schedule.
Strat-O-Matic, whose statistic-based board game has kept baseball nerds hunkered down in their basements for hours on end since 1961, announced that it has played a Mets-Royals World Series simulation that saw the Mets drop the first two games but rally to win the next four — and their first world championship since 1986....
If you are doubting the reliability of Strat-O-Matic’s projections, keep in mind that the gaming gurus did predict Alex Gordon and Alcides Escobar would hit homers in Game 1 (although in the simulated game, we are left to assume that Escobar’s was not of the inside-the-park variety). And their projected 4-1 final score in Game 2 was right on target in the bottom of the eighth Wednesday night, until Kansas City broke it open.
