The 2018 MLB Season has been a record-setter in the American League. When the Seattle Mariners went 20 games over .500 over the weekend, it marked the earliest time in the post-expansion era that four teams in one league were 20 games over the .500 mark this early in the season. The Mariners and the other three teams (Houston, Boston,  and the New York Yankees) are simply dominating the competition, creating a mixed blessing for the weekly MLB Swarm. The swarm might feel more confident about predicting games involving those clubs, but that dominance also creates a lot of parity throughout the rest of the league. That in turn makes every other game that much tougher to forecast. Here’s how the swarm picked tonight’s contests.Of all the hot teams in the American League right now, none is more sizzling than the Houston Astros. They’ve won 12 games in a row, and tonight send their staff ace Justin Verlander out to face the Tampa Bay Rays. The Astros needed late heroics to win in a walk-off last night, but the Baseball Swarm thinks today’s matchup may not be nearly so close. They made the defending champions their pick of the night.

The replay above shows what becomes a unanimous consensus on this game. In fact, the magnets pull so strongly for a high-confidence 2-run Astros win here that it nearly takes the puck out of the zone. And though the swarm has been burnt in the past by expressing a maximum confidence of 100 virtual dollars, they clearly felt this particular forecast merited that level of conviction.
