The stretch run of the Major League Baseball season isn’t just a time for team accomplishments. It’s also the time of year when individual players make their final case for postseason awards. Between the season’s end and the start of the playoffs, baseball writers, players, and observers will vote on the Rookie of the Year, the Most Valuable Player in each league, and Manager of the Year. One of the biggest awards is the Cy Young Award, given to the most outstanding pitcher in each league. Tonight’s schedule has a couple of current, past, and future Cy Young contenders pitching for their respective teams. Here’s how the swarm predicted those games.
One pitcher at the center of Cy Young Award consideration is Cleveland ace Corey Kluber. While other contenders have had streaky seasons, Kluber has been a steady presence for Cleveland all year long. Tonight he and his team hosts the surprising Tampa Bay Rays. Both teams have played very well in August, so Kluber could be the difference-maker in an otherwise close matchup.
The replay above shows the swarm arriving at an interesting decision. There’s certainly a solid amount of cohesion to take the puck to the Cleveland side of the hex, but at the start of the decision-making process there are magnets pulling for Tampa as well. In the end, the magnets favoring the Rays lack strong conviction, and it’s the strong opinion of the swarm participants pulling for a Cleveland two-runs-plus win who provide the prediction here.
