Well, we’ve reached the end of the tracks for MLB this season. It was certainly an exciting year as we expanded our MLB Consensus coverage to all five weekdays (with a few Saturdays sprinkled in). That expansion allowed us to compile a lot of data on our experts as well as ownership percentage indicators for Cash and GPP. Check out our final MLB Expert Standings to see who made the grade this season. Enjoy!

This season’s top experts were Beer’s Daily 6-Pack on the hitter side and DailyFantasyNerd on the pitcher side. Beer pretty much controlled things on the hitter end for most, if not all, of the season. On the pitcher side, we had several lead changes and a back and forth battle down to the bitter end.

The top-3 for both pitchers and hitters are below. Be sure to check out the full MLB Expert Standings to see how your favorite experts check out.

Pitchers

#1) DailyFantasyNerd (Score: 5.04) ended up taking the top spot by quite a wide margin. That is not, however, indicative of the battle we had throughout the season. DFSR held the lead as recent as a few weeks ago.

#2) DailyFantasySportsRankings (Score: 4.92) battled hard but just couldn’t make the required late push to get back in it over the last couple of weeks. Overall, another great season from them though!

#3) RotoGrinders Consensus (Score: 4.89) held on to a top-3 spot by the slimmest of margins over FantasyLabs. For the volume of daily selections they put out, this is a fantastic finish from the RG Consensus.

Hitters

#1) RotoGrinders 6-Pack (Score: 3.08) was able to capture the top spot despite shutting it down for the last month of the season. Beer was in control from the get-go so congrats to him for basically a wire-to-wire finish at the top!

#2) FantasyTeamAdvice (Score: 3.06) continued cutting the gap right up until the season ended. FTA finishes just off the pace but yet another strong showing from them.

#3) Daily Overlay – On the Hill (Score: 2.90) provided us with hitter stack selections in addition to his pitcher plays. Brad’s stacks had a solid showing this year and he edged, and I mean EDGED, out the RG Consensus by .003 to capture 3rd place.

Ownership Percentage Tracking

Below is the current table showing the data we have tracked so far this season. Results are using DraftKings Double-Up or 50/50s for Cash and large field multi-entry tournaments for GPP. The Count column shows the number of times a player was selected by the experts for a given day. The Cash % chart shows the average ownership percentage of those players in a Cash game. The GPP % chart shows the average ownership percentage of those players in a GPP tournament.
