The long Major League Baseball season tends to measure itself in terms of holiday mileposts as the season goes along. Casey Stengel was said to not pay attention to the standings until Flag Day in June. Other teams cite either July 4th or the Major League All Star Game. One other famous yardstick that teams and fans use is Memorial Day. It marks the end of the first third of the season, and for teams and players what they are now is a good measure of what they’re likely to be all season.
The weekly Baseball Swarm convened by Unanimous AI put that understanding of the season’s first two months to good use on Friday, pulling a 10-5 record and hitting on their top five picks ranked in order of confidence. Here are today’s swarm picks, as the group goes for a repeat performance.
In the first third of the season, no division has struggled more than the American League Central. With that in mind, the swarm still made the Central-leading Cleveland Indians the pick of the night in their game against the Chicago White Sox. This might be the swarm going by the pitching pairing. The Tribe’s Mike Clevinger has been solid so far this year, while Lucas Giolito of the White Sox has posted a 7.53 ERA and leads the league in walks.
The replay above tells the story on the swarm’s confidence in the Tribe to win this game. It’s a real rarity: not one magnet is pulling towards the White Sox side of the hex. That kind of unanimous consensus is one thing, but then the swarm picked this game ahead of the Nats beating Baltimore as their best bet for the night in a head-to-head choice.
