The oddball starting time in Cleveland, which is now an early season, weekday “thing” there, leaves us with a fourteen game slate. There are some big time aces on the bump this evening so prepare to find some value bats if you choose to roster a big arm. As for the Consensus, I’m still trying to decipher how we have so few options at the outfield position. That will not leave much choice when it comes to filling out a FanDuel lineup tonight for our Lineup Construction. At least Brad has some flexibility on the DraftKings side with dual position eligibility.
If you are a fan of this Industry Expert Consensus article then you will love our newest feature only available to Email Subscribers, called the “Weighted Consensus”. In the Weighted Consensus, we provide a more in-depth version of the MLB Consensus that take into account each expert’s current DailyOverlay scored to generate weighted rankings.
