MLB – Industry Expert Consensus – April 8th
MLB DFS Picks April 8th
Plenty to stacks for your Friday night in MLB. Along with stacks, there are a couple of value pitchers that should help with some salary relief. Good luck!
The Weighted Consensus for the MLB is where we publish an in-depth version of rankings every day that considers each expert’s current DailyOverlay score to generate a Weighted Consensus ranking. To calculate the Weighted Rank Score, each expert’s DailyOverlay score for hitters and pitchers is weighted on a sliding scale from 1 to 5 with the top expert in the current standings being weighted with a five while the last place expert is weighted with a one. This method gives the higher rated experts picks more weight when compiling the overall player rankings for the day. We will include all players that generate a Rank Score of at least 8.0.
Scroll to the “Top Stacks” section that lists out the teams with three or more 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.
Let’s play ball!!!
