Mere moments after the final out of a World Series, we’re left to wonder who will take it all the following year.

“Who you got?” is often spewed from our lips before we’ve had to process the ending of the Fall Classic. And while we aren’t sure who that team will be in the end, MLB The Show 23 already has some simulations set for the upcoming season.

The simulation goes beyond the crowned champions too, but we’ll get to those later. For now, the simulation has the Atlanta Braves beating the Houston Astros in four games (out of six).

According to FINN Partners Sports Marketing, the simulated season has Pete Alonso taking home National League MVP honors with Yordan Alvarez following suit for the American League. The Show adds they have both leading their leagues in home runs and RBIs.  

Here are the individual categories and awards, along with the estimated numbers for each player, provided to The Comeback on the simulations:
