One of the most fun things about the yearly Major League Pennant races is the potential for sheer chaos. With the season entering the final 10 days of August, suffice to say that in the National League we are indeed in cats-living-with-dogs situation. At the start of the day today, 7 teams in the NL sit between 10 and 14 games over .500. That means that just 2 full games separate these seven teams with less than 40 to play. That means not only an exciting month of baseball to come, it also portends the possibility of single-game playoffs at the end of the season and other beautifully bizarre baseball tiebreakers.
Speaking of tiebreakers, the MLB Swarm provided their own in today’s session. They picked the Yankees over Miami as their pick of the night tonight, but analysis of the swarm mechanics make Oakland over Texas as the pick that seems to have shown the most overall “organic” confidence. In the spirit of chaos, we’ll show you both of those replays.
It should be first noted that both of these predictions are high-confidence picks; you can’t go too far wrong with either. The swarm has a high degree of confidence that both the Yankees and Athletics will win their respective games tonight. Still, it’s interesting to see the differences as shown above. There are just a few magnets pulling towards the Marlins side of the hex that throw off the ceiling cohesion of that answer. With the Oakland replay, the cohesion is much stronger and the decision is arrived at faster, suggesting slightly higher overall confidence. The main difference then? When the swarm was asked which of these games was its pick of the night, they explicitly chose the Yankees. Must be the pinstripes.
