 What's up everybody welcome inside Studio 34. This is the Fandall hurry up I am Greg Sussman joined today my buddy Jim Sonnis from Fandall to go over the Honda classic I'm ready Jim. I am too Greg It's not as strong of a field as we saw last week for the WGC Mexico But I think and you look at the top end of this field. There are some pretty interesting guys here You got Justin Thomas that always gets me pretty excited. I love some Brooks Kepka So not as deep of a field from a studs perspective as last week, but still a pretty fun one So I'm good. How are you doing today? I'm doing well. I'm really good My my friends watch listen to the show they played some lineups They made some bets thanks to Davis who we'll talk to a little bit later on they won money So they're happy and they're looking forward to today's show It will hopefully do the same here got to duplicate that success, you know Davis setting the bar a little bit too high So I'm gonna have to have to bring it down a little bit for me here And hopefully we can just lower expectations a tad for I will let you know this I'll spoil this two of the names. They are your favorites in DFS this week or two of Davis's favorite bets this week Oh, is it is Joaquin Neiman on the list because you're gonna get me scared ahead of time here It is not Joaquin Neiman. Oh, man Okay, woof Cuz I gotta I gotta give a couple of qualifications for all Joaquin Neiman here And I want to make sure that we're not getting not getting two on board one of the worst putters in the on the PGA tour here, but I feel better than I am excited to one day name my kid Joaquin though Yes, absolutely So the top player on the board here this week and one we should consider of course as always is Justin Thomas Why is Thomas one of the studs that you're looking at this week? Yeah, the salary for Justin Thomas is pretty prohibitive It's $13,000 and that is a lot to pay But when you look at the golfers available for this weekend I do like a lot of the golfers who are priced below $9,000 and to me that says I Can afford Justin Thomas and I think he's kind of just the class of the field here When there is a golfer who is bound to be popular in DFS and I think the Thomas will be this weekend for sure There is often a lot of thought towards fading them because golf is a volatile sport But I think a lot of that is more viable when you have better alternatives at the top end There is no Dustin Johnson here. There is no Rory McElroy No Justin Rose so you don't really have another you know top tier golfer at this event outside of Brooks Kefka for this week I think I'm probably just riding with Justin Thomas because he is so good Especially compared to the rest of this field He leads the PGA tour in stroke skiing approach so far this year. He won this event last year He was third in 2016 when you look at the recent results two for Justin Thomas He has been top three in three of his past five events He was 19 or 16th and 9th in the other two events too So he's five to one to win for a reason Greg this guy has super short betting odds But what that means that means we should be willing to pay his salary in DFS $13,000 is certainly a lot, but I'm definitely willing to pay it here at Justin Thomas for this weekend's event There's Thomas is always a good pick and when the field is as light as it is It's an obvious selection. Thomas is the best player in the field. Hey Kim But you mentioned there's one other guy that's a stud among the mediocrity in this field And that's Brooks Kefka the number three and four player in the world Brooks Kefka Justin Thomas the two guys you got to take this week Yeah, I've been trying to figure out why Brooks Kefka is not getting more love this week If you go to fan share sports and check out which golfers are getting buzz this week Kefka as of Tuesday doesn't really rate that high in the list and I'm kind of shocked by it I guess I I kind of get it because Kefka seems to perform best in tournaments whether like majors these high money tournaments Maybe he doesn't care as much at other ones But like he's still really freaking good if you look at fantasy national over the past 36 rounds Kefka leads this field in driving distance He is 33rd in approach 6th in scrambling so good across the board there Which means he can go low and I love that about Kefka at 11,400 dollars on at a course It is really difficult to score well, you know, they're only 13 golfers I believe we're under parlance here So you need to find guys who can get birdies and Brooks Kefka very much one of those guys now last week just 27th, that's kind of okay But that field as mentioned was also much tougher than the one he will see this week And see this broke even if Brooks Kefka is not necessarily motivated to do super well because there's not you know 15 million bucks in the line for this week, which is what we need to get Brooks Kefka's juices flowing I don't care the dude's good enough to do well regardless of that. So Kefka 11,400 dollars I think he pairs really well with Thomas and I'm kind of surprised he is not You know not getting more buzz this week and they have so far Yeah, it's weird just given the kind of player that he is and where he can help you in every category You listed him well Jim and I think it's a surprise that Brooks Kefka is not getting a love He deserves kind of like Justin Thomas is but obviously if you can get these two guys in there makes a lot of sense All right, let's go over some of these mid-tier guys and that includes my man Lucas Glover who may not be a singer But he's a pretty good golfer. He absolutely is and I think that the thing I like about Lucas Glover Greg Is we kind of look at three separate categories for PGA DFS to try to find golfers We should use that weekend one of them is current form another is course history and the other is their statistics And Lucas Glover is one of those guys who measures that pretty well in all three of those categories He has finished 21st and 17th at PGA national the past two years to the Honda classic He ranks in the top 30 in driving distance in approach and in scrambling over the past 36 rounds per fantasy Nationals he measures up statistically and he's had a lot of good finishes recently He was caught at the waste management, but outside of that He had a seventh place finish at the pet at Pebble Beach He was 12th at the Desert Classic and he has finished in the top 20 in seven of his past eight events with three top Tens in that span so Glover kind of has everything that I want. This is a pretty good tier for salaries this week He got a guy Billy Horschel in there young hunt on I adore he is $9800 but I think that Glover belongs in that same discussion too And I might prefer on by a hair over Glover because on is another guy who measures up well in every every category But I think that Glover at $9,700 does also make a lot of sense for this week Jim you put it really well Lucas Glover is just a pretty good golfer and this week at the Honda classic He he just fits in where you need the price seems to be right And he's a good middle-tier guy and the categories he can contribute in kind of what you need So I think there's a lot to like this week about Lucas Glover Another mid-tier guy that you probably should consider is Jason Kockrack Who's no hasn't made the strides that some of these other gobbers have made but he's not a bad pick this week I feel like we've talked about Jason Kockrack every week so far We've done the fandom hurry up for PGA so I apologize if there's a little fatigue out there with Jason Kockrack But like his salary just doesn't move as much as it should he is $9400 for this weekend at the Honda classic and I think again That's just too much value for me to pass up for a guy who is as steady as Jason Kockrack is He's also good statistically. He ranks eighth in the field in stroke scheme approach over the past 36 rounds per fantasy national He ranks 32nd in distance. He is 50th in scrambling as well So he is a guy like Glover who is well rounded statistically And on top of that, you know the steadiness is there for Jason Kockrack, too He has now made 13 consecutive cuts. He has seven top 25s in that time So it's a good blend of both floor making the cut and then upside to get a good finish as well Now Kockrack unlike Glover does not have the same course knowledge. He has not been to this event Since 2016 and in that year even he did miss the cut But I still think that Kockrack does enough at $9400 to be a value play You can count on a pretty low salary for him And I think that even if you do go top heavy with guys like Justin Thomas and like Brooks Kepka You can still afford a guy like Jason Kockrack And I think for me personally given his salary and given what he has done recently I am very willing to do that and plug him in and I feel and you kind of started with this Say the same thing every week. You could just take that shot and plug him in there And he's one of those guys that kind of fits that mold a lot to like of course this week with Jason Kockrack All right Let's get some of the lower tier guys some of the value plays the guys you're going to take a shot on And we start with Joaquin even who is a really good putter No I think I think that Greg there are some guys in pga dfs where if you use them in dfs You cannot watch them because they will make you tilt your face off. Luke List is one I think Joaquin Neiman is very much the other because he'll have these amazing approach shots So get himself on the green quickly and then just blow it all the pieces by four putting from three feet out That's the way it goes for Joaquin Neiman and it's way it's gone recently for him pretty extensively, but Even with that being said This guy still has some upside because he is so good in the other aspects of his game a couple weeks ago He lost 4.4 strokes putting According to fantasy nationally in one event But he still managed to make the cut and finish 44th there because his approach game is so good and his distance is so good He's 21st and distance the past 36 rounds per fantasy national He is 12th in approach So he can do so well elsewhere that if he can just manage to accidentally Sink one putt this weekend. He could finish really well. So Joaquin Neiman has a lot of risk You're not using any cash games because the odd team This is the cut are a little bit higher than you would like at $800, but Like if for some reason a couple of his putts accidentally fall in You could get a top 10 finish out of it. So for $800, there's a lot of upside in Joaquin Neiman I know We've had some rough times with him recently for sure because there have been a couple of miscuts in there The 44th place finish was his best since November. So there have been some rough patches But I think that upside is still there if he can find a putter that works that well for him just once in his life We could get a good finish So I will keep banging my head against this table for Joaquin Neiman and seeing what happens But I think the upside there Greg is still good enough to justify losing money on this guy Just enough Just enough he could give you a couple of putts go in To make you think that it's worth losing money on I like where it ends at Jim We're already planning on losing so it's great. Things are awesome. There you go. We're Joaquin Neiman Finally up next another value play that I think is actually a little better I like him a little bit more and that's harold varner the third because he sounds like an old british royal king Yeah, he's been golfing like one too. Yeah, exactly. I think that that's intriguing now Couple of miscuts in there for harold varner the third That's uh, that's disappointing because he has missed a cut in two of his past three events and you don't want that But when he makes the cut varner does really well if we look at those missed cuts He finished 10th at the waste management between those two missed cuts the two events before that He was 18th at the desert classic. So Good finish is there and now if we look at the past seven events where varner has made the cut He has finished in the top 25 in all seven of those So if he gets through he's golden and a part of that is because varner is very good statistically He has ninth in distance over the past 36 rounds per fantasy national. He is 43rd in approach 20th in scrambling. So I think that you can look at varner's missed cuts recently and get a bit turned off by him But even with those missed cuts, he has still been doing well with his approach shot He can still scramble. He can still get some distance off the tee. I like that a lot So, you know, again, it's kind of the same discussion as walking neiman the less drastic with harold varner There is some risk here for sure. He could wind up missing the cut, but I like the outside that he brings I think that for cash games harold varner the third is very much on my list I'm not going to seek him out because again, he has missed two of his past three cuts But I think that there is enough there statistically for me to feel pretty good about him. So for cash games at $8600 I'm definitely not writing off harold varner the third despite the, you know, the the rockiness he's had recently It's been up and down right now for harold varner the third But again, if olivia comic could win an oscar harold varner the third can win a tournament There you go The picks are that are going to make you money this week on fendall That's all thanks to our guy jim santa's jim. We appreciate the time. Let's do it again next week All right, looking forward to it. Greg will talk to you then and good luck this weekend Absolutely. Thank you so much when we come back Davis mattock will join us to tell us why harold varner the third isn't just a great dfs pick But also someone you could win money on by betting on we all love the king harold varner the third Stick around more after this Back with you on the fendall hurry if i'm greg susman alongside davis mattock He's gonna give us his best bets of the week last week. Dustin johnson was the easy bet But he was a winner. He won the whole damn thing Hopefully we can do it again davis. What's up, man? Not much excited excited to talk about one of the weaker field pga events that you will see all year long Yeah, absolutely It's not the strongest field brooks kepka. Justin thomas two of the bigger names in there this week Those aren't your favorite bets of the week. We start with gary woodland and what makes him one of your favorites So woodland is definitely at the top of my card He will be the bet that I will have the most on the guide that uh, I'll be sweating the hardest I really like woodland at any course where accuracy comes into play and he won't be penalized For not using his driver on a lot of these holes. There's a ton of water at the pga national So a lot of guys are going to use their irons or their hybrids off of the tea and those courses generally suit gary woodland And you know woodland is probably one of the best 20 golfers or so in the world And when a bunch of the middle tier golfers in the world don't play an event You know guys who are ranked 40th to 60th in the official world golf rankings That's just going to push some of that win equity up to guys with woodlands predigree So at 20 to 1 this week woodland is very strong for me Woodland makes for an obvious play at that number because he's an opportunity to win this one handily go with gary woodland if you trust davis Up next another another popular bet according to davis maddock this week Is kevin tway Biggest long shot of the week out of all these bets 175 to 1 what makes you like tway on this league So we haven't really seen This version of the honda classic before because the pga schedule has changed Which is why so many of the stronger names are not in the field And if you actually look at a bunch of the previous champions of this event at the pga national There are guys who have been long shots who have won a great example is michael thompson Who's actually up to 40 to 1 this week, but you know because he has the course history He's at 40 to 1 if it was at a different course He'd be 125 to 1 tway is a guy who fits the classic mold of a ball striker He gains a lot of tees around the green Approaching the green not so good with the wedges not so good with the putter But I think if you're looking at guys really far down the card tway sort of looks like a version of a golfer who can card a winning score here and at 175 to 1 You know he's slightly ev so I want to put a you know some of these bombs on my card and tway It was the first guy whose name really jumped out to me Hey 175 to 1 in a different honda classic. Hey, why not kevin tway man? It's a long long shot But what's it cost you? That's money Up next we got web simpson and we've all heard of his 25 to 1 this week What makes you like web? So web is really in a similar mold to gary woodland Absolutely elite ball striker really good with the long irons, you know in in all of the the strokes gained metrics Approaching the tee off the tee You know, he's going to be one of the best 30 40 guys on tours probably right around that In terms of official world golf ranking and you just get a little bit more juice Choosing to put him on your card over woodland They have very similar prices in dfs this weekend and really the thing with web is if he putts well He's going to be in contention and you know his recent Strokes gained putting metrics have been decent enough for me to think that the the stroke has not completely left him So at 25 to 1 you're getting a decent price on what is a high pedigree golfer in a low pedigree field I like the logic high pedigree guy a low pedigree field The combination means money in your pocket bet on web simpson this weekend One of the names we talked about earlier was jason co crack who makes very good dfs play at 66 to 1 Why is he also a good bet jason co crack is straight up playing the best golf of his career? He's 33rd on tour strokes gained off the tee He's in the top 40 of strokes gained around the green and strokes gained approaching the green His like long term historical profile would suggest a guy who's going to have some trouble here There's actually water hazards on 16 of the 18 holes and it has uh, you know One of the hardest stretches of golf anywhere on the pga tour with the bear trap You know at the end 16 17 18 at this course But I I actually think he's priced too low based on that historical profile because his recent strokes gained data suggest These really shouldn't be a problem for him He should be able to stay in the fairway and it really should just be a matter of how well he putts over the course of the weekend There you go. There you have it. Why jason co crack was playing the best golf of his career makes an obvious pick this week We told you about it before you heard it from davis just now a lot to like when he gets to jason co crack Up next also going off the board at 66 to 1 the old wily veteran zack johnson Why is zack johnson one of your favorite picks this week? So when you think about the pga national, of course you think about the water and you think about the bear trap And you think about guys posting huge numbers And if I was going to look at one guy in the 66 to 80 to 1 or 100 to 1 range Who I felt certain was not going to fall victim to the water was not going to take the driver out when it was unnecessary I would definitely look at zack johnson. He's going to keep it in the fairways. His approach shots are going to be good He's going to hit a ton of greens in regulation. So it's 66 to 1 It just felt too deep like I if I was doing the pricing I would probably put him at something closer to 40 or 50 to 1 So I just felt like you're getting some plus ev odds betting on a guy who also is one on the pga two or before Ultimately the odds are in your favor when it comes to zack johnson. It's the number that we like What we like over here rather than necessarily the way he's playing. So go with zack johnson here this week All right, one last name to get to it's the king Harold van of the third. Why are we going with varner? I'm embracing the volatility. I guys are going to post big numbers There are guys at this tournament who are good golfers who will go 15 over guys are going to card tens And harold varner is good enough that if all of the things work for him for four days He stays out of trouble. He's hitting fairways. He has the ability to win this tournament He can put low numbers on the card He can hit birdie streaks in a way that a lot of other guys who are priced You know below 100 to 1 simply can't for example Harold varner is probably two times better of a golfer than kevin tway He just has more volatility to his game and that's why they are priced similarly So if you acknowledge that a golf tournament is going to have variants You might as well bet on guys whose positive upside variance is winning the tournament He's got a shot right to win the tournament. That's what we're doing here That's what we're going for and harold's varner the third at 125 to 1 why not Davis gave you the winner last week. Hopefully this week is more of the same We appreciate the time davis and good luck this weekend Thanks so much Absolutely. Thank you so much for watching. Good luck in your bed and good luck in dfs I'll see you back here tomorrow with the guys from dailyrunner.com. Talk a little NBA. Have a great night everybody
