No Major League team has repeated as a World Series champion since the Yankees in 1998, 1999, and 2000. The Houston Astros would like to be the team to end that drought, and so far in the early season action they haven’t disappointed. The weekly MLB swarm predicted their game and the entire Friday schedule earlier today.

Since meeting in the 2017 Fall Classic, the Astros and Dodgers have been on diverging trajectories. The Dodgers have looked inconsistent throughout the month, but the Astros have been stalking the top of the AL West against a surprising Angels team. Tonight, Houston is in action against the White Sox, and the Baseball Swarm likes their chances.

When Justin Verlander joined the Astros last summer at the trade deadline, it not only jolted Houston to a title, but it also seemed to rejuvenate the former Detroit ace’s career. He’s been lights-out with his new club, and with him on the mound tonight the swarm had no problem forming the rapid and cohesive prediction of an Astros win shown in the replay above. The 2-run confidence and a healthy $80 hypothetical wager propelled this game into the swarm’s pick of the night.
