Who is your favorite DFS value play?
- Joe Nicely: Jhonattan Vegas ($8.5k)
- Spencer Aguiar: Jhonattan Vegas ($8.5k)
- Josh Bennett: Chris Kirk ($7.5k)
- Andrew Putters: Russell Knox ($8.1k)
Who is your favorite DFS “high-priced” play?
- Joe Nicely: Sungjae Im ($11k)
- Spencer Aguiar: Daniel Berger ($10.4k)
- Josh Bennett: Daniel Berger ($10.4k)
- Andrew Putters: Louis Oosthuizen ($10.8k)
Who is your top GPP play?
- Joe Nicely: Mackenzie Hughes ($8.3k)
- Spencer Aguiar: Chris Kirk ($7.5k)
- Josh Bennett: Matt Wolff ($9.2k)
- Andrew Putters: Brooks Koepka ($10.1k)
Who is your top Cash-Game play?
- Joe Nicely: Keith Mitchell ($9.1k)
- Spencer Aguiar: Billy Horschel ($9.6k)
- Josh Bennett: Daniel Berger ($10.4k)
- Andrew Putters: Sungjae Im ($11k)
Which popular golfer will you be “fading”?
- Joe Nicely: Billy Horschel ($9.6k) - $9.6k and 25% ownership for a player that relies heavily on putting?
- Spencer Aguiar: Louis Oosthuizen ($10.8k) - I think he needs a win to pay off his price tag and I'm willing to take my chances against him at roughly 20%. I can live with a random T17. I also won't have any Mito Pereira.
- Josh Bennett: Jhonattan Vegas($8.5k)
- Andrew Putters: Daniel Berger ($10.4k) - I normally would love Berger in this spot, but his back injury and recent outings have me worried.
What stands out as the most important stat for this golf course?
- Joe Nicely: SG: Ball Striking
- Spencer Aguiar: Ball Striking
- Josh Bennett: SG: Approach
- Andrew Putters: SG: APP or Proximity
Who is your favorite DFS “dart throw”?
- Joe Nicely: Austin Smotherman ($6.8k)
- Spencer Aguiar: Mark Hubbard ($6.9k)
- Josh Bennett: Wesley Bryan ($6.2k)
- Andrew Putters: Harry Higgs ($6.7k)
What is your favorite bet of the week? (Any type):
- Joe Nicely: Mackenzie Hughes 50-1 (FD), Mito Pereira 41-1 (FD), Michael Thompson 80-1 (DK)
- Spencer Aguiar: It was Jhonattan Vegas over Mito Pereira before that price got obliterated (check your books to see if they are slow to move), but I will go with Sepp Straka over Dylan Frittelli.
- Josh Bennett: Matt Jones 50-1
- Andrew Putters: Koepka -120 over Mitchell
Who I'm playing that you probably shouldn't:
- Joe Nicely: Ryan Palmer ($7.9k)
- Spencer Aguiar: Rickie Fowler ($7.6k)
- Josh Bennett: Satoshi Kodaira ($6.6k)
- Andrew Putters: Brooks Koepka ($9k)
Who is your favorite overall DFS golfer and why?
- Joe Nicely: Keith Mitchell ($9.1k) - Form and fit play.
- Spencer Aguiar: Jhonattan Vegas ($8.5k) - Price tag allows him to be used in all builds. Playable in any game type.
- Josh Bennett: Daniel Berger ($10.4k) - Hard to find someone in this field that you can be confident with Berger & Im being maybe the only two. I'll go with Berger at a cheaper price since it will be easier to build lineups with him.
- Andrew Putters: Russell Knox ($8.1k) - Has played well of late and this course suits his game.
What is your optimal DFS lineup-building strategy for this slate?
- Joe Nicely: Lock in Sungjae & Mitchell, then buckle up for the ride with the other four!
- Spencer Aguiar: Balanced
- Josh Bennett: Balanced
- Andrew Putters: Stars & Scrubs
Who is your pick to win the tournament?
- Joe Nicely: Keith Mitchell
- Spencer Aguiar: Daniel Berger
- Josh Bennett: Daniel Berger
- Andrew Putters: Sungjae Im
