Baseball Game Simulator

A baseball game simulator, written in JS.

In order to simulate a game, you'll need to upload a CSV file that stores team data. The file template.xlsx is a spreadsheet template that has everything that you'll need to play games. You only need two teams, and options aren't needed.

The template already has the 2021 MLB Playoffs team ratings, which you can change. You can add more teams, or take away teams. The categories batting, power, pitching, defense, and speed all are on a scale of 1-15. You can customize options, like number of innings played (if left blank, it is automatically set to 9) and you can set the home and away teams. If they are left blank, Team 2 is automatically set as the home team, and Team 1 is the away team. Once you are finished you can export the spreadsheet as a CSV and upload it here, naming the file teamdata.csv.

Teamdata can be set two ways, by editing the file teamdata.json, or by uploading a csv file, naming it teamdata.csv and then running the command npm run convert or node converter.js. This'll convert the csv file into a json file, allowing the script to read the team data.

Playing a game is simple, just run the command npm run start or node index.js. It'll simulate the game and put the results in the output.txt file.

You don't need NPM to run this script, but Node should be installed. You can run it online at repl.it.

Note: CSV file should look like

Teams,City,Name,Batting,Power,Pitching,Defense,Speed
Team 1,Test,Name,11,8,2,7,10
Team 2,Foo,Bar,10,5,5,10,7

2021 MLB Playoff Simulation

According to this simulator, the Milwaukee Brewers will win the MLB World Series. Keep in mind these are simulations, expect different results every time.

A more indepth game bracket shows more detail and game scores.

Team ratings were generated by me, using stats of the regular season. Obviously, these ratings aren't 100% accurate.

2021 MLB World Series Simulation

Instead of simulating the whole playoffs, this is a simulation of the World Series.

According to this simulation, the Houston Astros will win the World Series. Keep in mind these are simulations, expect different results every time.
