Sunday was a nice little appetizer with three games, now it is time for the main course with a nine-game afternoon main slate that we can really sink our teeth into. As I mentioned yesterday, we will be providing MLB coverage every weekday this season and on weekends whenever possible including this Industry Expert Consensus, which will morph into the Weighted Consensus when we have some grades in the books. We will also have articles from Stephen with the MLB Value Index and yours truly, Brad, with the On the Hill, which will also include pitchers to target with hitter stacks this season. Now is a great time to sign up for our premium content at only $9.99 per month so you are all set for the MLB season, in addition to getting our Golf content (the Master is coming up!).
For today’s nine-game afternoon slate we were able to pull 16 sets of expert picks and only Clayton Kershaw and Trea Turner were selected by at least 10 experts and only one team (Phillies) had more than four hitters on the list so there are a lot of stack options.
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 tonight.
Let’s play ball!
