My MLB The Show 15 Simulation of the 2015 Season

MLB The Show 15 is the only reason that I bought a Playstation 4 because it's simply the best and most realistic game in the history of baseball console games. Well if you're a Yankees fan you're hoping that the game is THAT realistic because I had some pretty favorable results. I have seen a couple of these done where the Yankees finished in last place so I don't know what I did differently than anybody else. All I did was make Alex Rodriguez and Didi Gregorius everyday players and I kept Chris Capuano starting all season long. Anyway on with the results:

New York Yankees 90-73

Boston Red Sox 89-74

Baltimore Orioles 85-77

Toronto Blue Jays 82-80

Tampa Bay Rays 66-96

The team made the playoffs and faced off with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the first round of the American League playoffs. Tanaka got shelled in the first game as the Yankees fell to the Angels 5-0. CC Sabathia came back with a strong Game Two to even the series up at 1-1. Michael Pineda was ineffective in Game 3 against Jered Weaver as the Yankees faced elimination with Nathan Eovaldi on the mound. Eovaldi pitched well but the Yankees bullpen, namely David Carpenter, blew the game late and the Yankees were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
