It was a grand Opening Day on Monday! As usual, several teams will take a day off (dumbest thing ever!!) on day 2 of the season so that puts us at 8 games on tap for tonight. A pretty big pitching dropoff considering it’s only the 2nd day of the season. Typically, we’re still rolling aces this early but that’s not necessarily the case this year. We were able to pull from our full 20 expert pool for today’s Consensus picks. A couple of Giants (Posey, Pence) were picked over 10x with Logan Forsythe being the only other position player to garner double-digits. There are plenty of stacking options with tonight’s small slate, as well.
