It’s gametime! Below you will find the UNU Baseball Swarm’s Picks for Tuesday, August 23rd…
Thanks as always to everyone who joined us for last night’s UNU Baseball prediction Swarm! The games below are sorted first by the Swarm’s prediction for how competitive they would be. Games that the Swarm said would be won by 2 runs or more are at the top, close games in the middle, and at the bottom is one game that was deemed “too close to call.”
The results are also sorted by Brainpower, although I would encourage you to watch each games replay for insight into how the Swarm arrived at its prediction. For example, lower brainpower could reflect a toss-up between the two teams, or it could mean that the Swarm couldn’t decide whether a particular team would win by “a lot” or “a little.”
Every week, we learn more and more from the UNU Baseball Swarm. One of the questions we’re asking ourselves is, how much does the Swarm’s conviction about a certain result affect its accuracy? For that reason, we’re only placing our own bets this week on games which have higher than 75% Brainpower.
Here’s a look at the replay from last night’s most confident Swarm. As you can see, the Swarm has a lot of faith in Jake Arrieta and the Cubs on the road in San Diego.
This should go without saying, but if you’re going to bet on baseball – or anything else, for that matter – be smart about it. UNU has a pretty good track record, but baseball is notoriously difficult to predict.
Without further ado, here are the Swarm’s picks for all 15 games to be played on August 23rd…
