MLB – Expert Recap and Grades – Week of June 7th
![](https://dailyoverlay.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/MLB-Expert-grading-Post-1.jpg)
MLB DFS Experts Grades
We keep trucking along here at DO this MLB season. Some additional shuffles on the pitcher leaderboard saw our Consensus Core 5 jump back atop the leaderboard. Things remain really tight though and I’d expect plenty of shuffling for the remainder of the year. A four day week is 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.
