Welcome to the Trade Deadline Day edition of the MLB Weighted Consensus Rankings. With the trade deadline just passing by there were a few trades made but very few big names as is often the case at the deadline where the rumor are more exciting than the trades. One notable trade that directly affects Monday night’s eight-game slate is Sonny Gray who was scheduled to start but with his trade to the Yankees, the A’s will go with Paul Blackburn. Be sure to watch starting lineups closely and keep tabs on any other last minute deals that come through.
The Weighted Consensus for the MLB is where we publish a more in-depth version of the MLB Consensus 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 6.0.
The MLB Weighted Consensus article will be part of the premium content every day except Wednesday and the weekend this season. Sign up now for a FREE 7-day trial so you don’t miss any of the content here at DailyOverlay.
