Fantasy Baseball: Week 24 MLB rankings from advanced computer model
Before setting your Week 24 Fantasy baseball lineups, you need to see what our advanced computer model has to say. When it comes to ranking players, the model beat human experts in Fantasy football last season when there were big differences in ranking. And the model was closest-to-the-hole overall, meaning it best pinpointed where every player would finish each week.
Last week, the model was extremely high on Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier, saying he'd finish as the 13th best player at his position despite a market ranking of 31st. The result: Frazier has recorded seven hits, two doubles, four runs scored and two RBI so far in Week 23. Anybody who had him in their lineup was well on their way to a huge week.
Now the model, which simulates every pitch and every at-bat 10,000 times, has revealed its rankings for Week 24 (Sept. 2 to Sept. 9).
For Week 24, we can tell you Colorado Rockies right fielder Charlie Blackmon, the best player at his position according to market value, is due for a stumble and will barely crack the top 20.Â
One player the model is high on this week: Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Eric Sogard. The model ranks Sogard as the No. 6 shortstop for Week 24 even though he is owned in less than 40 percent of CBS Sports leagues.
The model is also calling for a surprising shortstop you aren't even thinking about to finish in the top 10 of its Week 24 Fantasy baseball rankings. This pick could be the difference between winning big and going home with nothing.
So who should you sit and start in Week 24? And what surprising shortstop could lead you to Fantasy glory? ... Join SportsLine now to get Fantasy baseball rankings for every single position, and see which surprising shortstop comes out of nowhere to crack the top 10, all from the model that out-performed experts big time last season!
