About the MLB simulator
The MLB simulator lets you finish the 2026 regular season your own way: enter a score for any game still to be played, or let the model fill them in, and the American League and National League tables recalculate wins, losses and winning percentage straight away.
Six clubs per league reach the postseason, three division winners and three wild cards, and the regular season ends on September 27. Every result already in the books stays fixed, so you only steer the part of the season that has not happened yet.
How to use the MLB simulator
- Choose a month, then a night, and type the final score of any game that has not been played yet.
- Press Simulate night for that night's slate only, or Simulate season to let the model finish every remaining game.
- Follow the American League and National League tables, which update after every score and mark the playoff places.
- Press Clear to wipe the scores you or the model added; real results stay locked in.
- Look up dates, first-pitch times and ballparks for the games you fill in on the MLB schedule.
MLB simulator FAQ
How does the MLB simulator decide who wins?
From run differential. Each club is rated on its 2025 runs scored minus runs allowed per game, the home team gets a slight bump, and every score is drawn at random around that expectation. Baseball's wide spread of results is built in, so upsets on any given night are common.
Why do the standings change every time I simulate the season?
Because every game is drawn again on each run rather than predicted once. Pressing Simulate season several times shows how far a race can swing: a club that lands in a playoff place in almost every run is in a strong spot, while one that keeps flipping in and out is on the edge.
What does the simulator show after the regular season ends?
Each club's real final record. Once the last regular-season game is final, every result is locked, so there is nothing left to fill in and both league tables show the actual 2026 win-loss records.
