MLB – Industry Expert Consensus – August 20th
MLB DFS Picks – August 20th
Two pitchers lead the way along with another night of STACKS GALORE including what may be our first ever 9 player stack!
A big 14-game slate for Friday 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.
