Out of the Park Baseball 20: We simulated the 2013 season because the Tigers should have won the World Series

Welcome back to another installment of the series where I take the latest edition of the dynasty of baseball simulators and use it to recreate past seasons, create all-new scenarios, as well as test statistical theories. After acclimating myself during my initial foray into the OOTP 20 world, I am prepared to take the next step in part two of this series.

For this exercise, I want to revisit a very sore spot in the collective memory of Detroit Tigers fans: the results of the 2013 season. That year saw a juggernaut Tigers team get tripped up in the American League Championship Series by David Ortiz and the Boston Red Sox, who ultimately went on to win the World Series.
