An excel spreadsheet would do that for you if were so inclined.

Make a model of something, run it a whole bunch of times and average the results:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method

 

So, I estimated the probability of the Brewers winning each of their first 126 games, simulated a season 10,000 times and foudn the average numbers of wins, average longest streak, average best 10 game streak, etc... I use a free excel addin that makes it easy.

In simpler terms brewers19 if you determined that someone had a 1 in 6 chance of getting a base hit a Monte Carlo Simulation would involve rolling a die a whole bunch of times and reporting the overall results (how many times did you get a 1, 2,3...) Now in this case it's pretty trivial but in areal case with a more sophisticated probability model the simulation lets you get an idea of how often certain things will happen.
