To answer your question, I see very good spreads that range from 1-0 pitchers duels to Offensive explosions where some poor long relief guy gets fed to the wolves and gives up back-to-back-to-back homers.
I have Strike Zone set at 45 and if I were to watch each CPU game with EXCEL open, I'd guess the avg walks per game/per side to be around 3.5 or 4. I see games with 2 walks total all game and some where walks were 7 to 4 for 11 total.
Here is what I've been using in a Padres franchise that is now in year 2 after a mix of 40+ CPU games, 20+ USER games and the rest simmed.
