Perhaps because of the cold weather prevalent throughout April in much of the country, the bats of Major League Baseball teams have been cold to start the 2018 season. For the first month in recorded baseball history, total strikeouts (which sit at 5,562 for April) threaten to exceed total hits (at 5,174 heading into tonight.) Variables like cold bats and hot arms are just one of the factors the Baseball Swarm contends with each week when predicting ball games.

One team that has felt the double-edged sword of baseball’s pitching-heavy start to the season is the Los Angeles Dodgers. Their offense has struggled at times to score, but they’ve also benefitted from strong starting pitching. With their early season bullpen issues hopefully a thing of the past, they’re a high confidence prediction by the swarm for tonight.

This month the Dodgers struggled out of the gate, they’ve been playing to their predicted high level of late, and tonight they’re facing a Marlins squad that was gutted by offseason cost-cutting trades. Although there’s some slight dissent on this decision at first, we can see in the replay that it melts away quickly and that leads to a 2-runs-plus win prediction for Los Angeles. The swarm reinforced that conviction by adding a large hypothetical wager and choosing this as their pick of the night.
