Big stacks aplenty with the Consensus tonight. The experts love the game at Coors tonight but keep your eye on the weather in the Denver area as that game does carry some risk with it. The experts also wish to pick on Wily Peralta by utilizing the Redbirds bats. A couple of big name aces make the list today in Arrieta, Fernandez and Cole. If you choose to pay up for pitching, there are several value bats to plug in that should make it work. I’m hoping to follow up my Friday with another big night in our Lineup Construction article so check back about an hour before first pitch to see who we played.
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. If you have ever wondered how to differentiate between two players that were selected by the same number of experts then this is the tool you need. We also list all players selected by at least two experts. Sign up now for a small fee and get emails for this feature as well as the rest of our free content.
