An afternooner at Wrigley leaves us with 14 games on this “Welcome Back MLB” Friday evening slate. Don’t know about you but I could not be happier to have baseball back in my life. Now is where the stretch run begins and with the trade deadline just around the corner there are teams that have to decide whether they will be buyers or sellers….they have a couple weeks to figure that out. A couple of our experts must have taken an extended vacation as we only have 14 experts that produced picks for today. With that, we get a reduced number of choices and lower numbers in the parenthesis. The Weighted Consensus will take a break over the next week but please feel free to continue to sign up at the link in the paragraph below.
Finally, if you are a fan of this Industry Expert Consensus article then be sure to sign up for a small fee to be an Email Subscriber of the “Weighted Consensus”, where we provide a more in-depth version of the MLB Consensus that takes into account each expert’s current DailyOverlay scored to generate weighted rankings.
Scroll to the bottom of the article for the “Top Stacks” section that lists out the teams with the most hitters being recommended by the experts today. Also, be sure to check each team’s lineup when it is released and watch the weather before finalizing your lineups tonight.
