MLB – Industry Expert Consensus – August 18th

MLB DFS Picks – August 18th

STACKS GALORE!  Only 3 players on the list that are not part of a stack tonight:   Justin Upton, Brian Reynolds, and Ketel Marte.

A big 10-game MLB slate on Wednesday night and the DFS analysts and optimizers have narrowed the player pool down to the top plays at each position. Find out who to consider for your Cash and GPP lineups.

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.

The MLB Weighted Consensus article will be part of the premium content, so sign up now for a FREE 7-day trial so you don’t miss any of the content here at DailyOverlay.
