I like this idea better than trading Alex Cobb.

This is well written, thought provoking, and entirely conceivable...aside from one small detail:

If Julio Urias gets through 6 innings, he'd likely be seeing the top of the Giants order for the third time in the 7th. We all know Dave Roberts isn't going to let that happen so...if I were in charge, I'd deploy the murder robot in the 4th inning, 5th at the latest.

"Only true Giants fans are showing up to this one."

Nah. The algorithm that detects Dodgers fans would almost certainly be a neural net, which are prone to overfit, that was trained on biased observational data. It would only be a matter of time before a robot would murder a true Giants fan wearing bowling shoes because it found only a single fan in its database wearing bowling shoes, which happened to be a Dodgers fan.
