2022-08-16T15:26:58-05:00 2022-08-16T15:26:58-05:00 A tight leaderboard on the pitcher side should make for a fun stretch run. Pletny of action still remaining in the MLB season. https://dailyoverlay.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/MLB-Expert-grading-Post-1.jpg
MLB Expert Grading Recap

MLB – Expert Recap and Grades – Week of August 8th

MLB DFS Experts Grades

Fernando Tatis was suspended on Friday. There goes that grand plan that the Padres had for the stretch run as they teeter on the brink of falling out of the Wildcard spot. Not much movement in the overall leaderboard but the pitching side of things are really tight. Enjoy!

Check out the top experts on the Overall Leaderboard and as always you can check out the full MLB Expert Standings to make sure that you’re up to speed on who is making the grade. Also, review how all the MLB DFS analysts fared this past week with a day-by-day breakdown of each scored and ranking for the day and the week. I will also post the Ownership Percentages by position by count which are used to help project player ownership in our Weighted Consensus article every day.

As a reminder, we are currently gathering selections and publishing the MLB Industry Weighted Consensus article each weekday during the season, so be sure to check back about an hour or so before the first pitch of the first game to get a look at the consensus picks for the day. We’d love to add more so let us know in the comments the experts that you’re trusting daily.

Leaderboard

The top-3 for both pitchers and hitters are below. Be sure to check out the full MLB Expert Standings to see how your favorite experts check out.
