The results are in! The Swarm went 7-5 earlier this week, for a 58% winning percentage. That’s below our our season average, so here’s hoping last night’s picks are even stronger. That said, one thing we’ve noticed is that our “bad” weeks are above .500, and our “good” weeks, well, the sky’s the limit.

Below you will find the UNU Baseball Swarm’s Picks for September 9th..

As always, the results are sorted by predicted competitiveness and then 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.”

We continue to fine-tune our understanding of Brainpower, and so you’ll notice that we’re again steering clear of any Moneyline game below 75% Brainpower.

Here’s a look at the replay from last night’s most confident Swarm.  Only the Nationals were picked “by a lot” with a high enough Brainpower to consider it an Against the Spread recommendation. All other games would be considered Moneyline wagers. Also of note, the Swarm produced 93% Brainpower in choosing Madison Bumgardner and the Giants, which is perhaps the highest Brainpower score I can remember.

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 September 9th…
