It’s game time! Below you will find the UNU Baseball Swarm’s Picks for August 30th…

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, and games where the Swarm only picked a winner are below that. Finally, there are two games the Swarm 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.

One new wrinkle, in our recommendations this week. Because two of the Swarms “wins by a lot” picks showed low-Brainpower, due to Swarm indecision between “wins by a little” or “wins by a lot,” we’re going to interpret that as a Moneyline recommendation rather than Against the Spread.

Here’s a look at the replay from last night’s most confident Swarm. As you can see, the Swarm is all aboard the Daniel Norris hype train. That’s Daniel up there, he’s the millionaire cancer survivor who lives in a van. Seriously.

Without further ado, here are the Swarm’s picks for all 15 games to be played on August 30th. Odds are below.
