OOTP 19 Simulates 2018 Season, Predicts Dodgers to Win World Series

Tonight at 7:00 PM EST, the MLB Network will announce the 2018 season predictions, made by Out of the Park Baseball 19, as part of their Predictions Special.

UPDATE: (3/30) Here’s the video for those of you that missed it.

The Out of the Park Developments team simulated the 2018 Major League Baseball season 1,000 times and put together a forecast that includes expected division winners and how the playoffs will unfold, including the World Series.

Last year, OOTP 18 correctly predicted that the Houston Astros would win the World Series.

Customers can purchase OOTP 19 for $39.99 from OOTP Developments, Steam and Electronic Arts’ Origin. Today is the last day to get the game for 10% off.

Out of the Park Baseball 19 includes:

• New 3D stadiums and 3D player models with improved on-field movements, including running, sliding, jumping, and throwing.
• New in-game screen design for an optimized virtual dugout.

The 8 international leagues, as well as independent minor leagues in the US, also return this year with accurate rosters.

• New tournament modes! Create a stand-alone tournament bracket and draw any teams in history into it. The possibilities are endless!
• Ultra-realistic AI roster management and in-game decisions.
