[37:56] Maybe even like if I was making the market, he'd probably have a shorter number. [38:01] I think from a market perspective, people are just a little bit too low on him. [38:04] I think the miscut at the open and last year at this event are holding this number back a little bit. [38:09] So that's baking in some value there.”

Marco Penge to beat Brooks Koepka (head-to-head)
Genesis Scottish Open 2026 — The Renaissance Club, North Berwick · The Action Network Sports Betting Podcast, 2026-07-07 · ·

“But I think when looking at my thoughts on the matchup, first of all, if both these guys were completely healthy, I still have Penj as the upper hand here. He's 32nd in my model. Brooks Koepka is down to 47th. Even just considering him being fully healthy, obviously you do have to maybe put an asterisk there because a lot of these guys, especially with Brooks Koepka, he's been playing injured at times, so maybe his stats aren't as true to full health. But nonetheless, I like Marco here either way. He's performed here last year. I think it was T2 or T3, but straight up all health considered I do think that either way I do like Penj”

Jon Rahm top 20 finish (-115)
Genesis Scottish Open 2026 — The Renaissance Club, North Berwick · The Action Network Sports Betting Podcast, 2026-07-07 · ·

“[30:12] will say i think that i probably feel better chasing a little bit more upside with john romm [30:17] but i just i do think that this minus 115 number is just living a little bit too much value on the [30:23] board i think you know you mentioned laying a little bit of juice but some books are offering [30:27] this one closer to minus 140. I see a minus 139 out there right now. And when my model matches, [30:35] even maybe a little bit shorter than that, I think it's minus 115 just offers a little bit [30:39] too much value. I typically don't really bring top 20 or any sort of placement wagers that are [30:45] right around even money to the table. But I do think that there is some value on that just [30:49] from a market perspective. But to your point about Jon Rahm, like you mentioned, some of the [30:54] the 2026 form, obviously missing the cut at the US Open. [30:57] That was probably the closest comp to maybe what we could see at a link style course here. [31:02] But I am willing to say that, you know, other than that, you had the T2 at the PGA Championship [31:07] had some good finishes on Liv, which again, we've talked about a couple of times on the show. [31:11] That's difficult to really take for, you know, kind of take it with a grain of salt, [31:15] which I totally agree with. [31:17] But I do think that from what we get out of Jon Rahm from a profile perspective, [31:22] He's a pretty strong fit for this sort of course. [31:25] He's done well on the DP World Tour in years prior. [31:29] So when you talk about the off the tee fit, where he's able to sort of spray it a little [31:33] bit. [31:34] So far this season, what we've actually seen from him in terms of measured rounds and distance, [31:39] he leads my model in terms of driving distance in most drives over 320 yards. [31:45] Accuracy can fall off the cliff at times. [31:47] He's right around the 70th best player in terms of accuracy in this field. [31:51] But again, we've talked about that that's not necessarily something that might hurt him too much here. [31:56] Also, he's played well in the wind in years prior. [31:59] So those sorts of things, as well as just the market value at this number at minus 115, has me on the ROM play.”

Is there an element of, okay, I really like him for top 20, maybe not an outright, like talk me through that jump from he'll be in the mix to I can't pass this up because hitting a 33 to one at this point in the season can really change my overall, you know, balance sheet, so to speak. Yeah. I mean, Hatton is a guy who I, my model always likes Hatton and typically some of I'm betting top 20, top 10 at a lot of these majors. And this week, I think you can definitely do the same and feel pretty good about it. I will also be betting him top 20 and top 10 as well as the outright.”

But there are significant reasons to assume maybe he has a spike week there. Maybe this is a potential even strength here. He's someone that grades out tremendously for me. He's top 10 in ceiling metric He third in form I already mentioned the top three rankings and approach and off the t fit for this course So all these things put together He my favorite outright play of the week 55 to one is a little bit of a long shot I mean when you consider all the names you dodging”

“All right, let's close out your head-to-head plays with a three ball in round one, and that's Zach Blair over Roy and Cootie at plus 230. You're going to have to help me out here because Blair is the lowest ranked golfer in this trio. He lost his tour card at the end of last year. So beyond price, what are you seeing? Or is this a pure fade of Roy and Cootie where you think these golfers should kind of be lumped together in terms of value, yet you're getting north of 2-1? Yeah, that's exactly the point there. It's just north of 2-1 and enough to get some value here. But also, I do worry that with Roy and Cootie both having similar profiles, again, you can kind of lump those two.”

“to make the cut. All right, Kyle, you have a pair of placement wagers. Tommy Fleetwood, top 10 at nearly two to one. You're feeling confident about a golfer who has sprinted through the finish line on this very course because Fleetwood's last round in 2018 at Chinnecock, he shot a blistering 63, nearly caught Brooks Koepka, finished his second. And there's a mountain of strokes gained data that seems to favor him and make him a real fit for this course. But the bare argument on him has been the U.S. Open since that 2018 final round. In the seven championships from 2019 through 2025, he tallied three missed cuts and only two top 20s. So what drew you to him at plus 196? Is it more the underlying metrics and what's under the hood for him statistically? Or do you believe that he really is a good fit for this course? Yeah, I do think he's a good fit for the course.”

And his strokes gained off the tee ranks 10th on tour. And I mentioned it at the top. I was waiting for a golfer to land in that bucket of they can really avoid bogeys. He ranks sixth on tour this season. How much did that last element factor into your play here Yeah absolutely I mean there just a lot to like about the profile for Cam Young I think actually the one thing that he doesn grade out all that great in is the play in the win So I think Fleetwood and Cam Young here at the same number, 22 to one, I think it's actually a nice way of offsetting potential volatility in the forecast there. I mean, Cam Young, when I'm looking at my model here, he grades out as the third best scoring fit, which is basically different yardages within these difficult holes on this course, which I think is very important because a lot of par 4s here that are very difficult. Also, a lot of par 3s that come in different yardage buckets, but have difficulties for varying reasons. So I think that was one of my favorite parts about the way that Cam Young projects here, but he also projects for the second highest ceiling grade here behind, obviously, Scottie Shuffler. So that came down to, you know, those are the main reasons why I ended up backing Cam Young there.”

For me, I was looking for guys who could sort of toe that line that I mentioned before, that risk-reward line, especially with off the tee play. Right now, I'm seeing Goddard up around minus 111, minus 115. I probably wouldn't go any further than minus 125 here against English. English isn't necessarily my favorite target, but from a price perspective here at 111, I was waiting between either picking on English with Goddard up or Ricky Fowler. I think the the Goddard number against Fowler was minus 108. So I felt a little bit better about picking on English than Fowler,”

But instead, we get him at 22, 23, 25 to 1 in this spot to win the tournament outright. So why is this the right time to pull the trigger on Siwukim Yeah I mean to answer the first part of your question in terms of also betting his top 10 top 20 typically I mean I talked about this on the show before typically when I bet someone outright you know and you looking especially at a guy who Siwu 22 23 to one the best numbers out there right now, I'll also usually, probably 90% of the time, bet either a top 10 or a top 20 or both with those players.

So I think there's a handful of guys here in this 25 to 50 to 1 range that I like quite a bit. There are some longer shots that maybe I'll throw out there as well at the end.

Cadillac Championship 2026 — Trump National Doral · The Action Network Sports Betting Podcast, 2026-04-29 · ·

“I would back him over Berger as well. All right, let's get into your placement wager here, Kyle. You like Keith Mitchell, top 20 at north of two to one. This is the push and pull of recent form versus course fit. He's only hit three top 20s in his last 10 appearances, but he does rank six on tour in strokes gained off the tee this season with a driving distance in excess of 311 yards, which is 28th on tour. He also has played a ton of golf in the state of Florida. If you look at his scoring average going back to 2023, it's sub 71. He's one of only 12 players in this field that cracks that threshold with a meaningful sample size of 42 rounds in the state. Any of these things outweigh the other, or does it just come down to price with him being, as I mentioned, north of two to one at plus 210? Yeah, it's certainly a price factor”

Adam Scott to win (+4300)
Cadillac Championship 2026 — Trump National Doral · The Action Network Sports Betting Podcast, 2026-04-29 · ·

“And you can get yourself to Sunday with somebody in that 7 to 1 range That great They still going to have to climb to the top of the mountain with all of these other aces kind of gunning for them So let talk about Adam Scott and Jake Knapp Scott at 43 to 1 Knapp at 30 to 1 Scott up first You know not only did he win here the last time he was played at Doral in 2016 but he consistently overperformed on this course He finished 6th 13th 3rd and 4th in the five years leading up And then of course with that win So he has mastered this track and that has to count for something And then when you look at Knapp, he ranks fourth in the field in driving distance and 10th in strokes gained off the tee. So his pure power aligns with the distance of this course. He's also rattled off multiple top 10 finishes across a wide range of courses with varying field difficulty vying against him. And on top of that, just another cherry is his strong performance at the Masters where he finished 11th against an elite field, kind of challenging him all the way through Sunday. So let's start with Scott first, because I think, you know, given his advanced age and, you know, the fact that he's being priced in this 40s, you know, I think it always bears mentioning you should shop around. Maybe you can get slightly better, closer to a 50 to one ticket here. Price versus how he's performed on this course. And can you really put that much stock in performance that's over a decade old in some cases? So now that I've teed you up there, let's start with Scott. Yeah, I mean, quick disclaimer before I get into the two plays and especially Adam Scott, but I actually went into the into the sheet and Spencer beat me in there and he had Morikawa and Cameron Young in there. And I plan to bring at least one of those because right now the two top values on the board for me are Morikawa and then Cameron Young, both right out as number two and number three, Cam Young being two, Morikawa being three in my model. So I can certainly at least back those plays as well. But again, I figured it would make a little bit more of entertainment sense. And obviously, these are two guys I like as well. But for Adam Scott, specifically on your point on factoring in the data from Dural, I essentially wiped all of it. I didn't really consider much of it at all. Instead, I just went and found seven or eight comp courses that I thought were most correlated to this course here at Dural. So that was the main justification there. And Adam Scott also happened to grade out pretty well on those courses. And I think maybe it's just more of a cherry on top that he's performed well here in the past. But again, I think, you know, like I talked about earlier, there's never going to be a week where I go in and factor in data from a course 10 years ago. So I not going to do it now just because that was the last time we saw it I am taking some certain field stats from Doral over that time frame but not really factoring in much of individual scoring from those events just because I just don't think that they're all that valuable right now with them being a decade old, like you mentioned. I will say, quick shout out, that was nice of you to say advanced age for Adam Scott. If he's listening to the podcast, I'm sure he will appreciate that. I'm 40 years old myself now, so I'm in the club. Yeah, I think he'll send you a nice thank you card for that. But he does just write out pretty well across the board. I think, you know, for me, like I mentioned, kind of piggybacking off what Spencer was talking about on the course layout. Coming into this week, I had the thought of, you know, it does feel like the public and the markets are going to be really leaning into this bombers effect. And, you know, while I didn't necessarily model that out enough, probably in my model, I came into understanding that I would look for somebody who could potentially fit the mold if the course wasn't as dependent on driving distance. And I think Adam Scott fits that to you. I mean, he's certainly not going to be the shortest in the field, but the way he grades out T to green, especially in the approach play, especially in these specific buckets, essentially just pops him up towards the top of my model. He's a top five player in the field for me this week for this course. So I'd like to back him as an outright this week as well.”

Adam Scott did not win the 2026 Cadillac Championship; Cameron Young won by six.

You know, five top 20 finishes for Sudarshan, and notably a top five at the Players' Championship, a TPC Sawgrass, another Pete Dye course, just something to keep in mind in terms of the design and the form that he's playing in on those tracks. Also, if you care deeply about approach play, Seb is your man here. He led the field in that category last year while placing 13th. If you had to choose between these two, obviously you're making them both official on the show. Which one are you leaning to? Yeah, I think if I had to choose between the two, I would lean Seppi as one of my favorite placement wagers of the week. I do also like him a little bit in the outright market as well, but I think there's just a few other guys who I like at their price who carry a little bit more win equity So top 20 for Straka here”

“for Sudarshan. Gotta give a shout out to our guy, Chris Jemina, who runs a lot of the projections over at Roto Grinders. Gave a great name. I don't know if he stole this one from social media or not, but Sudar McGavin, that was a great nickname. So that's part of the reason why I had to at least mention that one. But love his profile here. Obviously, one of the better approach players in the field. Limited sample size, but he's a guy who I've mentioned on the show before. Had him at a top 20 at the Houston Open, I believe, that came through. So I look and continue to back someone who has a very small sample, but I think that also leads to these longer odds at 3-1 for Sudarshan. So he's someone that I like as well. Again, maybe a bit too thin of an option for the outright market. Don't mind throwing a dollar or two on that for a little bit of a fun sweat for a long shot. But nonetheless, the approach profile looks fantastic. I do think the one worry that I have for him is his around the green fit. His around the green numbers have left some to be desired. but I do think that he's someone who can make up for that with a strong putter and with a strong approach play so I like him for a top 20 as well”

Si Woo Kim to win
RBC Heritage 2026 — Harbour Town Golf Links · The Action Network Sports Betting Podcast, 2026-04-15 · ·

“All right, a two-pack of golfers for you, Kyle. You've got Siwoo Kim and Daniel Berger. Talking about Kim he led after 54 holes of this very same tournament last year before the final rounds Obviously he ends in that four tie before Thomas wins it And then Berger I think this one maybe is flying under the radar because he has the second best scoring average at Harbortown from the 2020 season through 2025. Over those 16 rounds that he's competed, sub 68 in terms of his average there, which is better than a lot of the top names on the board, like Fix Patrick and Xander in this one. I think that's a massive data point. I think that's one that deserves you to comment on it first and then get into some of the price sensitivity and where maybe you set aside a top 10 or a top 20 and go for the gusto with an outright win. Yeah, I certainly like some other placement bets here for Berger. I think for Siwoo Kim, Spencer mentioned the top end volatility of some guys in looking for those profiles when backing outright players. just because if you're going to bet on a guy like Siwoo Kim, you've got to understand that it's not always going to be rainbows and sunshine. It can be pretty downhill at times, but this is a spot that he fits really well. Obviously, he's a guy who gets the Pete Dye kind of label on him. He's performed well at Pete Dye courses throughout the entirety of his career, and a lot of what the model's spitting out backs at, as he's one of the better fits from a ball striking perspective for this course based on yardages, approach buckets, grains and regulation, proximity stuff, all the important off the tee and approach data. There's only one player in the field that grades out better than him in those marks, and it's Colin Morikawa. So when you're talking about those two categories, that's a pretty good one-two punch to be a part of. So for Sewell Kim, about 28 to one, 29 to one, depending on where you're shopping. I definitely think that there's some upside there in the out-right market.”

Daniel Berger to win (+9600) · DraftKings

“But Daniel Berger, a top 20 play, he grades out as one of the better top 20 values as well. But I figured I would touch on that while I talk about his outright. Right around 100-1, 96-1 here on DraftKings is coming off of a miscut at the Masters. But this up-and-down play is kind of what we've been accustomed to with Berger at times. Obviously, he's just a few weeks removed from that second-place finish at the API. And it hasn't necessarily been overly consistent in between then. But like you mentioned some good course history here as well T3 at Harbortown last season So to your point the strokes gain stuff at Harbortown specifically is really what has him popping in this model But I think from a course fit perspective similar to what I was talking about with Sepp Straka he someone who I think his profile just elevates here at a spot where he can potentially put himself in even better opportunities off the tee and see not only his approach play improve in a course like this, but also his off the tee play. So he's someone that I do like. He has one of the higher good drive percentages over his last 24 rounds in this field. He's in the top 10 in that category, which I think is going to be an important off the tee stat this week. And obviously we know he can get it done from the approach perspective as well. So he's someone that I certainly have a lot of interest in. When you look at kind of a rolling window over his approach stats, over the last year he's seventh in approach in this field. Over the last 24 rounds he's sixth. Over the last 12 rounds he's seventh. So the approach play has been dominant, and I think that it could be even potentially a little bit better at a course like this. So he's someone that I certainly do like at that number here this week.”

I'll go right back to you, Kyle. If you had to choose between these two buckets, which one are you going with? Yeah, I do think, obviously, I didn't bring any of those top-end names to the table here from an outright perspective. But when talking about this market specifically, I do think I would lean towards the big guns here at minus 105. Obviously, a little bit of extra value there with the price, but also looking at some of these names, Scheffler, Fleetwood, Fitzpatrick, those are the top three guys in my model. So I would feel a little bit better if we had a Siwoo Kim in there in that group as well, obviously with an outright bet, but understandably so that he's left out of this group with the name price of these group of guys.

Nicolai Hojgaard over Zach Johnson & Michael Kim (Round 1 three-ball)
The Masters 2026 — Augusta National · The Action Network Sports Betting Podcast, 2026-04-07 · ·

“Let's stick with you here, Kyle. Nikolai Hoigard in the first round, a three ball versus Zach Johnson and Kim. He can bomb it. He's ninth on tour at nearly 318 yards per drive and 12th in approach, a tantalizing combo here at Augusta National. Even deeper, he's 19th in bogey avoidance and 13th in scrambling. So there's not much on his statistical resume that isn't a plus. Outside of that, the demands of this course, I just feel like he's a really good fit. Talk to me a bit about Johnson and Kim and why you think he's going to elevate above them. Yeah, I do. I mean, I typically like these three ball situations because I tend to feel like you just get some more inherent value with having to compete against two players. And I think that when you can sort of isolate specific three balls where, you know, there are typically going to be upsets or outliers. But Zach Johnson doesn't really profile as somebody who, and I don't want to get too aggressive with my wording here because it's golf. anything can happen but he doesn't really profile someone that really stands a chance in this particular matchup here and i think michael kim pretty similar as well obviously he did have a top 30 here last year but i think hoygaard is just uh significantly more talented uh than both of these guys in this spot and i think he fits this course excellently so to get this one at plus money in the three ball market is always nice uh obviously backed him a couple weeks ago at the texas open thought he had a had a chance down the stretch there obviously gary woodland ran away with it but with regard to someone that i'm gonna be backing pretty heavily uh this week and in the three ball market i think there's some really strong value to get him here at plus money against these two”

He's maybe a bit overvalued in the market, but talk to me specifically about Henley and what do you like? Yeah, I will say it's always frustrating to bet these sorts of matchups when you're facing a guy who is so live or die with the putter because then you look at it look up and he's through nine or ten holes and it's like 120 feet made made of putts and then you're just you know tilting your face off but in terms of the baseline here between these two guys it's a pretty substantial difference here i have russell henley as the second best player this week in this field in terms of the way he grades out at this course and i have robert mcintyre and admittedly I am probably lower on him than most people who are modeling or obviously the books making numbers here for McIntyre, who I have as the 18th best player in this field. So I'm certainly willing to stand on that hill here with this matchup. But I think Russell Henley provides a nice floor here as well. Obviously, we've talked about him throughout the past few weeks as well and his complete game sort of top to bottom. He's been very consistent all season long, especially early on so far in 2026. So Russell Henley is someone who I'm more than happy to back, especially in these head-to-head markets. And unfortunately, like I said, I like Bobby McIntyre, but he's someone that I'm looking to fade here. So I'm going to take Henley in the matchup market here.”

“all right kyle let me tee you up for your two winners this week you like tommy fleawood at 16 to 1 he's been knocking on the door basically this whole season tied for fourth at pebble tied for seventh of the genesis tied for eighth of the players in his last start. He's also elite in wins, which we can't bang the drum hard enough this week in San Antonio and the impact there. But then you're calling your shot here, 64 to one on Sadarshan Yellamiraju. Nailed it. He's a bit of a unicorn. I'm not just talking about the name here. He's the only golfer in the field who ranks top 10 simultaneously in both driving distance and stroked gain on approach. 64 to one has my full attention. Why don't we start with Sadarshan Yeah, I mean, kind of similar to Jordan Smith, right? Kind of, you could say buying high here, but at 64 to one and a field that, like we mentioned, still does have some solid stars here, but we're not seeing the full Rolodex of PGA Tour players here. 64 to one for this sort of event does sort of catch my eye here for some value. You mentioned some of the finishes that he's had as of late. I do think that could potentially lead to some noise in terms of the strokes gained around, you know, around, I guess across the board. But for me, when trying to reduce some of that noise and stretch out in terms of stuff that we can actually pull from, he grades out as a top 10 player in this field for me. So at 64 to one, I'll take a stab there. And then you mentioned Tommy Fleetwood. Yeah, the wind is a huge factor for Fleetwood. I think the windier it gets, the better of a bet he becomes. Obviously, betting on him as the favorite here. I typically don't, I haven't found myself betting on the favorite in tournaments all that much this year. But Tommy Fleetwood grades out as the top player in my model. He's not too far ahead of Henley or Siwoo Kim here for me in the top three. But so all those guys do check some boxes. But for Fleetwood, we've talked about the ball striking. We've talked about the wind. He's second in around the green performance for me in my model this week. So I think in terms of all the important stuff that I'm looking at, he grades out exceedingly well, top 10 approach, number one in tee to green, number two in around the green, and number 10 in approach fit here, which is grading out hole by hole construct and also wind direction as well as wind conditions, depending on how windy we do see this course end up becoming. But yeah, for me, Fleetwood is checking so many boxes, so I'm happy to bet on him as his favorite this week.”

Tommy Fleetwood finished T10 (-11) at the Valero Texas Open; J.J. Spaun won the outright.

Sadarshan Yellamiraju to win (+6400)
Valero Texas Open 2026 — TPC San Antonio (Oaks Course) · The Action Network Sports Betting Podcast, 2026-04-01 · ·

“all right kyle let me tee you up for your two winners this week you like tommy fleawood at 16 to 1 he's been knocking on the door basically this whole season tied for fourth at pebble tied for seventh of the genesis tied for eighth of the players in his last start. He's also elite in wins, which we can't bang the drum hard enough this week in San Antonio and the impact there. But then you're calling your shot here, 64 to one on Sadarshan Yellamiraju. Nailed it. He's a bit of a unicorn. I'm not just talking about the name here. He's the only golfer in the field who ranks top 10 simultaneously in both driving distance and stroked gain on approach. 64 to one has my full attention. Why don't we start with Sadarshan Yeah, I mean, kind of similar to Jordan Smith, right? Kind of, you could say buying high here, but at 64 to one and a field that, like we mentioned, still does have some solid stars here, but we're not seeing the full Rolodex of PGA Tour players here. 64 to one for this sort of event does sort of catch my eye here for some value. You mentioned some of the finishes that he's had as of late. I do think that could potentially lead to some noise in terms of the strokes gained around, you know, around, I guess across the board. But for me, when trying to reduce some of that noise and stretch out in terms of stuff that we can actually pull from, he grades out as a top 10 player in this field for me. So at 64 to one, I'll take a stab there.”

“now DraftKings has the best numbers when it comes to betting golf and it also has just a multitude of markets and not just for the majors so we're going to close out with a DK special here they have a group c winner that they're calling it we got Ricky Fowler we got uh Spawn, Strocka, Mitchell, uh Michael Thjordbinson you can correct me on that one um in terms of their price walk me through who you like so give me the golfer give me the price and a reminder you just go to specials over on DK under their golf tab and you're going to be able to pick a golfer out of this five. So I'll kick it to you first, Kyle. Yeah, it's a, it's a pretty close group here. Obviously, DraftKings did a good job grouping some of these guys up together, but I do like Sepp Strzokka here at this plus 305 I think again you know we talked a bit over the course of the year like where Ricky Fowler can potentially you know look really solid And I think this week could be one that could be a chance to fade him here in this group particular where he's obviously the favorite. So that adds some value across the board. JJ Spahn's been pretty volatile. For me, it would be between Straka and Thorb Jornsson. Mitchell slightly behind those two guys. But for me, Straka gets a nice boost here. Again, another player that if the windier it gets, the better of a bet he becomes. For me, I have him as the best win player above his baseline in this field. Tom Flewley were there at second. So when you talk about those two guys in terms of the way that they improve in windy conditions compared to the field and compared to their baseline, that goes a long way for me here. So I like Strockett. That's a plus 305 number.”

Sepp Straka missed the cut (even par) at the Valero Texas Open and did not win DraftKings Group C.

But Adam Scott, I think someone who has performed better in my model over those splits on the greens as well. So the tee to green play is going to be there for Scott. I like the way that he fits this course from a short game perspective as well. So I like Scott two to one plus 200 for a top 20. Let's get into our outrights here. You know,”

“Anything to add on Hoigar, at 27 to 1, what the cutoff price would be for you, Kyle? Yeah, for a cutoff price, I would say maybe 22, 23 to 1 for Hoigar there. He actually grades out as the best player in this model from a fit perspective for me. I think, you know, looking at the way that my model was built, it's built on about 11 or 12 key metrics or sometimes, you know, custom metrics. There's only two players that have positive grades across the board for every single metric. One is Adam Scott. Boyd Gard is the second one. So, you know, when you talk about a guy who can certainly get it done from a ceiling perspective with the ball striking and with the putting and with the around the green play, he's also someone that is a pretty steady player as well. So I do like him in other markets as well, but 27 to 1 for the outright was something that I was certainly seeing some value on. Spencer outlined quite a bit on Hoygaard as well. But for me, the main features that I was looking at, the strokes gain approach, top 10 player in this field. He's the third best fit for approach play in my model this week. He's 11th in terms of off the tee fit. And so for me, the way that he breaks down in terms of not only just the, I guess, baselines that he's putting out there, but for these ceiling performances, these spike-weak abilities, Toy Guard is certainly one of the better players. In my models, I'm looking to chase that outright win here at 27-1.”

I will say he's not my, I was looking for potentially some other options there against Straka. but bottom line is Fowler does also fit the profile of somebody who has gotten a lot of his strong success rates from his putting and that's something that I am looking to fade here this week He certainly somebody who can burn you with the putter and he has been a fairly consistent producer in terms of end results The approach play has been fine He 22nd over the last 24 rounds in strokes gained approach TD Green play has been fine, but again, he's just been excelling with the putter. That's something that I'm looking to fade here. I think there's really predictive value in strokes gained putting and a lot of these putting metrics, even on very niche things like surface here on Bermuda, different sort of distances for putting. I just didn't see a lot of predictive value in many putting metrics this week. So guys who are getting a lot of their production done through that are going to be guys that don't grade out that great in my model this week.

And I've talked a lot about accuracy and the putting volatility. And people who have been following along so far on the show, the first person that might have come to their mind thinking of that kind of profile is Colin Morikawa. Obviously, we know that he can certainly go cold with the putter. He can certainly get hot as well as we saw at the Genesis. But in terms of his approach play and his off play he lines up exactly what I looking for in a player this week Obviously he going to be a guy who going to be able to hit a lot of fairways not necessarily be someone who going to find advantages with the distance off the tee So I think that actually fits his strategy here at Bay Hill. And then Strokes-Gain-Out Approach, we know that he's going to set himself up to find some birdie opportunities. Converting them can also be a tricky spot. But like I mentioned, I do think there's going to be a lot of low-scoring potential in this tournament. Last year, also Henley won this event at 11-under. So I don't think that this is going to necessarily be a spot where we're seeing a ton of putts fall. I think that also fits the bill for Colin Morikawa type week. And I do think that there's maybe a spot where people are a little bit off of him coming off of the win. We know that people like to kind of fade that sort of environment.

Morikawa is there at fourth. So I like both these numbers. If you're just picking one of these guys, I would prefer Henley slightly just because I think there's a little bit more value at that 35 to one number. I like both these guys here this week at Bay Hill.”

Independent verification agrees: Russell Henley finished T6; Akshay Bhatia won, so the Henley-to-win ticket lost.

“And then looking at the guy who just had his heart broken once again on Sunday, Shane Lowry over Minmoo Lee. Minmoo Lee was another guy who graded out as a fade in my model. I mean, again, I've talked about accuracy being important here, approach play being important, and that's some spots where we've seen Minmoo Lee have spike weeks. But week over week, it's been a struggle for him, at least in terms of staying consistent in those categories. So I do like Shane Lowry, who's had a lot of success over here.”

Drake Maye Super Bowl MVP
Seahawks vs Patriots — Super Bowl LX · The Action Network Sports Betting Podcast, 2026-01-29 · ·

“But my primary pick here is going to be Drake Maye, plus 230 or plus 240. I think this is also a little bit of a semi-hedge here. Obviously, not a perfect hedge, but obviously, I'm someone who's very high on Seattle in this game. Obviously, if the Patriots win, Drake Maye would be the favorite to win the Super Bowl MVP. So it's a slight hedge there as well. But obviously, it is fairly difficult to bet a non-quarterback in this market. You do need a really significant outlier game because of how biased the award really is for quarterback. but I'll take Drake Maye as my official pick here at plus 230.”

Kenneth Walker III won MVP — NFL reporting confirms Walker, not Maye, won Super Bowl MVP.
