Using High Stakes Pitcher Ranks To Edge Best Ball

Took a little bit of elbow grease but finally got it done — the huge difference between my Underdog and NFBC site ADP was driving me slightly crazy.
Eventually, the light bulb went off…
NFBC is widely recognized as the sharpest ADP in the industry with good reason — the best players in the world put actual money on the line months before normal people even think about baseball. We’re unwrapping gifts and these animals are speculating on the Rockies’ closer situation. Crazy stuff.
Underdog best ball’s site ranks stay more or less aligned at the very top of the board, but quickly turn into the Wild West. Maybe it’s force of habit, lack of origination or just using auto-draft functions, but I think there’s some serious potential edge here by applying NFBC pitcher ranks to UD best ball.

$200K to the winner is no chump change…
