MLB – On the Hill – Monday (June 4)

I am short on time this Monday morning as it is a travel day for me returning home from a weekend vacation. As such, today’s On the Hill will only list my top plays with no writeups for Monday’s small four-game MLB evening slate. So, just envision some witty banter, bad puns and a variety […]

MLB Expert Recap and Grades – Week of May 28

The Pitcher and Hitters leaderboards remain the same at the top. RotoGrinders 6-pack still leads the way in the overall Pitching standings, while FantasyTeamAdvice leads the hitting leaderboard as we enter June. Yours truly, with my DailyOverlay – On the Hill picks made a move into the Top 3 on the hitter’s side, as well […]

MLB – On the Hill – Friday (June 1)

Friday features a full 15-game MLB slate. There are high-priced Aces facing off with Chris Sale versus Gerrit Cole in Houston and a game at Coors Field to consider. Note that which site you play on will vary my pitching selections significantly on this slate. The official recommendations below are geared toward DraftKings but I’ll mention my FanDuel pivots. While the writeups will be abbreviated the research was not so still look to take these picks to the bank.

MLB – On the Hill – Thursday (May 31)

We have a good-sized nine-game MLB DFS slate on Thursday night. It includes the return of Clayton Kershaw to the mound but is he a good play in his first start back? There are also a ton of stacks that interest me. I limited myself to only recommending three but here are a few others that just missed the list: Cubs, Braves and Padres (yes, the Padres).

PGA – 2018 Memorial – Weighted Consensus

Welcome to the Weighted Consensus for the PGA where we publish a more in-depth version of the PGA Consensus rankings that take into account each expert’s current DailyOverlay score to generate a Weighted Consensus ranking.

To calculate the Weighted Rank Score, each expert’s DailyOverlay score 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. If you have ever wondered how to differentiate between two players who were both selected by the same number of experts, then this is the list you need. We will include all players that are selected by at least two.

Be sure to sign up a FREE 7-day trial of our Premium Content to find out which high-priced Stud and Value options sit atop the expert’s list.

Here is the PGA Weighted Consensus list for the Memorial:

MLB – On the Hill – Wednesday (May 30)

Wednesday’s 10-game evening slate will be the focus of today’s “On the Hill” article. The slate includes another game at Coors Field and few high-priced Ace pitching options to consider. The big question is can you get exposure to both in the same lineup and I believe the answer is “Yes.”

MLB – Industry Expert Consensus – May 29th

Tuesday brings us a beefy 14-game MLB slate but there are still only four stacks on tonight’s list from the DFS analysts. You can probably guess who two of them are with a game at Coors Field on the docket but the other two could offer some contrarian value outside of Coors. Meanwhile, pitching looks like it could be crapshoot without an obvious ace to roster. It could be a wild night!

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.

Scroll to the bottom of the article for the “Top Stacks” section that lists out the teams with the most 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!

MLB – On the Hill – Tuesday (May 29)

Now that the unofficial start of Summer has passed with the long Memorial Day weekend behind us we can fully turn our addition to MLB for Tuesday’s big 14-game slate. With a lack of high-priced Ace pitching options available all of the attention will likely be on rostering bats from Coors Field in a game between the Giants and Rockies. Most of my attention will be only one side of that matchup, so sign up for our Premium Content to see which team I like in that matchup along with my other stacks and pitcher recommendations.

MLB – On the Hill – Monday (May 28)

Special thank you to all of our military and veterans for their service to our country on this Memorial Day. Monday’s MLB DFS slate will focus on the 12-game early slate on DraftKings. There are a lot of options to consider on the slate but I have whittled it down my top three pitching options and top three stacks to consider. So, build a lineup or two and then spend some time with family and friends over a few beverages and a grill.

MLB – On the Hill – Friday (May 25)

Friday night in the MLB features a big 14-game DFS slate that has a little bit of everything. Great hitting environments at Coors Field, Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park and Globe Life Park. Great pitching options including Max Scherzer, Corey Kluber, Noah Syndergaard, Luis Severino and James Paxton. The only thing it doesn’t have is weather concerns. Hallelujah! Today’s On the Hill includes a very, very deep Darkhorse pitcher to consider in GPPs to help you free up salary to pay up for bats in the good hitting environments.

The high-priced pitchers top the list on the hill but find out which value arms were the most popular recommendations from the analysts. Meanwhile, the hitting options are quite condensed for the small slate including just two stacks of […]
