MLB – Expert Recap and Grades – Week of June 13th
MLB DFS Experts Grades
No changes in the leaderboard but out hitter leader is starting to put some distance between themselves and the rest of the field. That said, things can change very quickly in the DFS world. A four-day week recapped below. 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.
