Welcome to the Friday edition of the Industry Expert Consensus picks for a full 15-game MLB slate. Tonight we have a rarity with a pitcher selected by 14 different experts. This is only the second time we have had a player reach that mark this season. The other time was Francisco Liriano on May 18 and he did not live up to the hype by receiving a “D” grade that day. Will Zach Greinke fulfill everyone’s high expectations tonight? On the hitting side, there are five different stacks to consider led by the Cubs in Coors Field.
Be sure to check out our projected ownership percentages for Cash and GPP that are produced utilizing ownership result averages for each position by the number of experts that recommend them. They have performed very well so far. Utilize these projected ownership percentages to help determine your favorite lower-owned contrarian plays to give you an edge over the field.
