Thank you to everyone who joined us for last night’s UNU Baseball prediction Swarm! Below you will find the full list of the Swarm’s picks for August 16th, as well as links to the replays for each game.
The games are sorted 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.”
Here’s a look at a replay from last night’s Swarm. The group was very confident that Josh Hammel and the Cubs will in the second game of their day-night doubleheader.
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.”
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.
We’ll check back in after today’s games to announce this week’s winner.
Have fun!
