After a plethora of options last night, the Consensus leaves us a bit short-handed tonight. Odd because we’ve added another expert to the fold which, you would think, would mean more Consensus players. Do you roster Zack Greinke in his first start off the DL? Do you stack the A’s like the Consensus tells you to do? You might have to stack the A’s if you like to stick to the suggestions here as there are only three stacking options for the night. Best of luck!
