With the 2011 World Series starting, people are making their predictions of who will win. Their predictions will be based on statistics, gut feelings, guessing, and a little bit of luck. Sony on the other hand has a game to simulate the entire series. Sony used their game, MLB 11: The Show. It predicted that the Texas Rangers will take the series in 6 games over the St. Louis Cardinals. In their simulation Nelson Cruz was the World Series MVP.
