Welcome to the free Wednesday edition of the MLB Weighted Consensus Rankings for an 11-game night slate. At pitcher it looks like there are two that stand above the rest but the experts are split down the middle on which pitcher is the top arm to pay for. On the hitting side, there aren’t any highly recommended options but instead a wide range of solid hitters to consider across all of the positions. There are also a total of nine teams with at least three hitters recommended give a lot of stacking options for GPP lineups.
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 expect 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.
