In the early part of the 2018 Major League Baseball season, the pitchers throughout the league seem to have the upper hand on hitters. In fact, there have already been two no-hitters thrown this season, and both pitchers to have done that are in action this evening. Here’s how the weekly Baseball Swarm predicts things heading into the holiday weekend.

Although he can’t yet claim another no-hitter this season like Sean Manaea or James Paxton, Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals is also off to a great start. In fact, Scherzer’s dominance has become so commonplace in recent seasons that it’s almost easy to take him for granted and forget how good he really is. The Baseball Swarm didn’t lose sight of that, and they’ve made the Nats their pick of the week tonight, facing the Marlins in Miami.

Baseball being the ultimate game of probabilities means that nothing is a sure thing, but the replay above shows that if you’re going to live or die on one game outcome today, this might be the one. The magnets form a rapid consensus, and point to a high confidence pick for Scherzer and the Nationals. The swarm backed up that conviction by selecting this game (over the Yankees beating the Angels) as their pick of the night.
