 What's up everybody welcome inside studio 34. This is the Fandall hurry up I am Frank Samful joined by number fire analyst Jim Sonnets to break down the Genesis open at Riviera We're gonna give you six names to pay attention to and use in DFS this weekend to high-price options to mid-tier options And tend to lower salaried options this week But we're starting up at the top gym with Justin Thomas who is the second highest price Salaried golfer this weekend. What do you like about Justin Thomas? Pretty much everything honestly Frank like it's really hard to dislike Justin Thomas And I think that what you get with Justin Thomas is you get the upside because he's among the best golfers in the world But it's also just that absurd level of consistency that I love with Justin Thomas He is now finished in the top 25 in 11 of his past 12 events He was 36 in the other one so 36 they're better in 12 straight events He leads a PGA tour in stroke skiing approach for the current season So that's the stat you can focus on most because there are a lot of approach shots all the time So if you're looking for one stat to focus on it really is stroke skiing approach and Thomas leads the tour in that stat He is long off the tee He can scramble a bit which something that I also want here because Riviera CC is also a longer course So I love the stats for Justin Thomas And I think that if you look at him at Riviera his best finishes 9th This is his fifth overall stop here the overall track record is not great But that doesn't bother me that much because of how good he has been recently and the fact that honestly that may put a little bit Of a lid on his ownership for this weekend. So I love Justin Thomas. Yes It means you're probably not also using Dustin Johnson But I think with everything Justin Thomas does with how good he is with how good he is from a stats perspective I am willing to take that as a negative and still take Justin Thomas in my lineups Justin Thomas 11 top 25 finishes in his past 12 events. Who needs Dustin Johnson? Justin Thomas here at $11,900 Moving over to Rory McElroy. Actually a name that I know 11,000 $1,500 excuse me over on Fanduil this weekend. What do you like about Rory McElroy? Yeah, I think when I look at this field overall Frank I kind of really like the top five golfers on Fanduil and that's you know That's not some bold statement by any means, but I think when I'm building most of my lineups I'm probably going to want to have two of those top five golfers in most of my lineups And the cheapest golfer in that tier is Rory McElroy as you mentioned at $11,500 I can totally live with that coming off fifth place finish at the farmers insurance open Which was pretty recently on the PGA Tour so we know the current form is good He now that was a second straight top five finish, which means for me for McElroy He has six top tens in his past 11 events So in the same vein as Thomas where he has a blend of upside and consistency He leads this field in driving distance over the past 50 rounds that is according to fantasy national calm He's also 24th an approach 13th and scrambling so good in every single stat And I really do want to hone in on guys who are long off the tee for this weekend McElroy very much counts You know kind of like Justin Thomas not the most dazzling track record at Riviera because he's been here twice He's finished 20th both times that won't blow you away, but again, it's not gonna bother me too much I always care more about current form than course history when it comes to golf and McElroy's current form is on par with anybody else in the world So I think McElroy and Thomas my two favorite guys in that top five tier But overall in general I do think that I want to get just two of those guys in there Whether it be John Rom, Bryson DeChambeau or Dustin Johnson Just get two of those guys and then build from there for most of my lineups Rory McElroy a name that everybody knows $11,500 over on Fandle this weekend again the Genesis open at Riviera 20th in driving distance make sure you get him in your lineups moving down to the mid-tier we have Adam Scott $9,600 Jim what do you like about Adam Scott? Yeah, I think we talked about Adam Scott on the program last week And it didn't necessarily work out so hot because he misses secondary cut at Pebble Beach and that you know It's not a great finish. He also missed the cut three events ago So a bit of a you know checkered current form here for Adam Scott But the one event between there he did finish second So the upside is still there the stats are there and what you also like about Scott is that he knows this course Superware every era he was back here He started going here back in 2005 and he actually won that event finished second the year after that And that's a long time ago and I do tend to write off especially super long course history But even recently Scott's been good at Riviera. He was second here in 2016 He was 11th in 2017 made the cut here last year So good course history overall, but also good course history in recent years for Adam Scott The stats also pretty good for this guy He is 28th in the field in distance and seventh in approach over the past 50 rounds per fantasy Nationals So he's got stats has from upside in his current form has course history here, too So I think that Adam Scott at $9,600 if you do decide to go a little bit top-heavy with guys like Dustin Johnson Neroi McElroy and then go down for your third golfer I think that Adam Scott actually does fit in with that build pretty well pretty well because he is $9,600 but his win odds are pretty short over on the FanDuel sportsbook that bodes well for him at this salary So Adam Scott a bit disappointing last week, but I'm going to go back to the well here again this weekend Little disappointing last week from Adam Scott, but you need to have short-term memory. You don't don't worry about last week Let's move forward. Look, he's won or finished second in this event three different times So Adam Scott $9,600 make sure you get him in your line-ups Moving on we have Jason Kochrack who is $9,200 over on FanDuel this weekend another one of these names that we're mentioning in the mid-tier again We already have two from the high the high salary options We also have Adam Scott and now Jason Kochrack at $9,200 Jim. What do you like about Jason Kochrack? Yeah, I mentioned with Adam Scott how he had this appeal where he has some course history got some current form and got good stats But I think that Jason Kochrack Actually is almost just as good in all three of those areas and actually comes into a lower salary He is $9,200 on FanDuel for this weekend and honestly when you look at his profile I think that's a bargain with all the stuff that he brings He's in the top 30 in both driving distance and stroke skiing approach over the past 50 rounds per fantasy national And he has used that to log three straight top 20 finishes on the PGA tour So really good finishes recently for Jason Kochrack He did withdraw prior to last weekend's event, but I don't believe that it's injury related So it seems like Kochrack should be good to go for this weekend and good and healthy for Riviera And it's a place he's done well in the past. He was second year back in 2016 He has finished 22nd and 20th sense then so again really good finishes for Kochrack I think that if you're building this kind of top-heavy roster with those studs I think that if you go with Kochrack or go with Adam Scott You're going to give yourself some flexibility to not get super creative with your value play So I love that from Kochrack. I think that he is a super valuable piece to this weekend With all that he brings with the course knowledge and with that current form So Kochrack at $9,200 maybe my favorite play for this entire week once you consider how low his salary is Again Jason Kochrack $9,200 this weekend on FanDuel reminder He finished second in this event back in 2016 We'll look for him to bounce back and do something similar to that at the Genesis Open this weekend Moving lower down in salary. We have Sunggung who's just $8,900 over on FanDuel Jim. What do you like about him? Yeah Sunggung doesn't necessarily have the stats that you want from a golfer And I think that that could be a concern But when you look at the recent stats for Sunggung Those are a bit more rosy and even with the kind of mediocre stats the guy's still been getting really good finishes So I like a lot of what Sunggung does especially when he comes that a salary is low at $8,900 He has been to this event four times so far and he's made the cut all four times He was eighth back in 2016 22nd in 2017 16th in 2018 So three straight really good finishes at this event for Sunggung and His recent finishes on the pga tour this year have been good He's been to four events since January 1st and he has been in the top 20 for three of those four events Now the other event was a missed cut So I think there is a little bit of risk with Sunggung And I think that's kind of where the stats come into play where you could see You know a weekend where things just aren't quite working and that is a concern for him But he has still had good finishes at this event. He has still had some good finishes recently So as long as you're okay taking some of that risk on with Sunggung at $8,900 I think he is a really solid play and based on all the data we have around this guy and the way he has finished And just kind of the inherent volatility around golf I think you have to accept some riskiness But with that riskiness does come upside with does come some upside with Sunggung So personally at 89 I'm willing to take on that risk and I think that he is a really solid play for this weekend Some risk here with Sunggung but reminder 20 second or better each of the past three years at this event Who cares about risk? We're getting them in the lineup Finally we have Harold Varner the third Hv3. I believe you referred to him before we started recording Look, I know a bunch of football players are kind of including the the numerical Whatever on the end of their names, but uh Hv3. Is that a real thing? Absolutely I mean Harold Varner the third he's got to be a thing Frank So I think you got to you got to pay attention to this guy because he's been really good for a while now But for some reason his fandom salary has stayed super low And I'm not going to complain on it about it honestly because if I can get a guy for $8,700 Who does all the things that Harold Varner the third does I'm going to take it very happily He is a Basically a statistical deity. He is 12th in distance 30 second in approach and 10th in scrambling over the past 50 rounds Per fantasy national so in the big three stats I'm looking at for this week Varner measures up well in every single one and that is allowed him to finish in the top 25 In six of his past seven events the other one was a missed cut But again, that's kind of how things go in golf, but six top 25 finishes in his past seven He has been to this course four separate times So again, not great finishes, but he does know the course and when you look at Varner's finishes recently They kind of tower over what he has done in the past So I think we've seen a legitimate improvement with this guy and I want to keep buying in aggressively With his salary still down to $8,700. So to me, I think that Harold Varner the third I mentioned Jason Co crack is my favorite golfer for this weekend when you consider his salary Varner would be the other guy in that discussion because $8,700 Way too cheap for a guy who is as well rounded statistically as Harold Varner the third is so I think those two guys really kind of know brainers me and they will definitely be part of my core for this weekend I believe the term that jim used to describe hv3 was statistical deity You're getting that guy at $8,700 Sign me up That is jim saunas of number fire. I'm frank stampo. We come back We'll have davis maddock from dailyroto.com here to give us some of his best bets of the weekend Stay tuned. We'll be right back. Welcome back to the fan. Do a hurry up I am frank stampo joined by dailyroto.com Davis maddock here to break down the genesis open at riviera best bets for this weekend Davis, let's start off with tyrell hatton. He's 70 to 1. What do you like about him? Well, 70 to 1 is probably just a little bit too deep for him He's pretty high in the official world golf rankings And a lot of times what happens with euro guys when they come over to the pga tour is that Their odds just kind of get sliced in half because they're not a super popular name Guys like hatton guys like tommy fleetwood don't have a ton of course history So, you know course history gets priced into outright betting odds quite a bit and without it You can get some longer numbers on those guys Hatton is particularly good with his long irons and here at riviera long irons is kind of the name of the game We're looking a lot at uh strokes gained approach strokes gained around the green and that suits hatton's game pretty well And at 70 to 1 as an outright That's uh, that's just a plus ev price to take him to win the tournament You're getting tyrell hatton at 70 to 1 right now He's ranked 30th in the world and he's made three of his four last cuts again that is tyrell hatton at 70 to 1 Next up we have tony finow at 28 to 1 davis Came in second last year at this tournament. What do you like about tony finow? Well, I recommended him last week when I came on uh on the show And he didn't do near as well as I expected but basically all the same things that he had going for him last week He has going for him this week as well He hits it further off of the tee than pretty much everyone that he has priced around He does very well with his long irons and at 28 to 1 Even in a pretty strong field if you if you tend to buy the argument that Putting is not super predictive and in general guys who hit the ball Further off the tee guys who were able to keep it, you know in the center of the fairway Those guys are going to have better odds to win golf tournaments fin outfits that and I do like the the second last year You know He's had a chance to see the course Had a chance to play it and also the weather again like last week is going to be bad Ed revier the course is going to be pretty wet So I think that's even more of an advantage for the longer hitters that are not having to rely on uh On the role for their ball to get further down the fairway Again, that is tony finow at 28 to 1 reminder. He came in second last year in this tournament That's why we're looking at tony finow for this weekend Next up we have louis oostason. Yes, that's right louis oostason at 50 to 1 Davis, what do you like about louis? Well, you you really have not been involved in uh in pga Bedding or pga fantasy if you have not won or lost money Based on uh, if louis always says and brought his special sleep bed to uh to come to a golf tournament in the united states of america He has a notoriously fickle back injury that causes him to withdraw or plan poorly at certain events But really anytime that louis is motivated anytime that he doesn't withdraw And anytime that he's in good health He really is one of probably the best 20 golfers or so in the world just looking at strokes gained metrics So take getting him at 50 to 1 at this course Even though it is a relatively strong field pretty much louis for me Is an auto bet when he's at a price this deep and he seems to be in good form and in good health You're getting louis at some pretty good odds here at 50 to 1 again He has the upside just has to battle through these injuries that he's had in the past The three top tens in his last three finishes. That's why we're looking at louis oostason this weekend Next up we have john rom 16 to 1 six straight top tens in his last six finishes Davis, what do you like about john rom? John rom is one of the best three or four golfers in the world So really getting him at 16 to 1 the only reason you're getting him there is that this is the first time He's played this course and in general, you know over the last 10 15 years of tournaments at this event You see guys win it who have played the course a fair number of times But I but I can't look at john rom at 16 to 1 you know when there's guys like dj who are 9 to 1 Uh, I believe he's shorter than justin thomas as well. So John rom, you know one of the best three or four golfers in the world at 16 to 1 If you are starting your card closer to the top I think rom probably has to make it like I would I would rather bet rom at 16 to 1 than dustin johnson at 9 to 1 There you hear it from davis He likes the odds here on john rom at 16 to 1 compared to other golfers in this range Make sure you load up on some john rom this weekend Next up is a name in harold barnard hv3 I've heard him refer to as our own jim sonnis from number fire refer to him We were doing the dfs preview So now we're seeing him on both the dfs side of things and from the gambling side of things I think I like this guy. I think I like this guy davis You you should like him. He's awesome like watching him golf is a really fun experience and Really the the thing that barnard does well is the thing that we love golfers to do well Which is he absolutely strokes it off of the tee. He gains a bunch of strokes off of the tee He hits the ball very well out of the fairway. He's good with his long irons He's not very good around the greens and he's not a very good putter and that's why in a strong field His numbers are going to be super long Like you're going to be able to get him all year long at events like this at 101 125 to 1 And if you like the profile of a guy like rom of a guy like justin thomas Harold varner is basically the dollar store version of those guys He hits the ball really far is not super crafty with his wedges and you know really to win a tournament He just has to run really hot putting There you heard it from davis hv3 has a sweet stroke. So we like that at 125 to 1 this weekend Last but not least we have luke list at 100 to 1 davis. What do you like about luke list? luke list same thing same thing as herald varner hits the ball very far off the tee Is really good with his long irons luke list actually is third on tour this year and strokes gained off of the tee He just happens to be about 135th strokes gained putting and I actually think when luke list eventually does win A pga tour event. It's not going to be like the barracuda or the mayacoba. I think it'll be A genesis open or the the honda classic or you know a big event where a lot of people are going to be watching Where it's a super strong field just because his game is so tailored to these courses he can really overpower shorter courses in a way that a lot of other guys can't and This tournament actually has the easiest par five on the entire tour I think it's number two hole number two gets the most eagles per hole of any or Any eagles per round of any hole on the course and I mean luke list getting three eagles over the course of a weekend would not be the most unheard of thing And if he does that his name should be up towards the top of the leaderboard on sunday luke list another one here with a sweet stroke You're getting him at 100 to 1 this weekend at the genesis open at riviera I want to thank davis medic of dailyroto.com for hopping on here Again, this is the fan duel hurry up if you missed anything from today Make sure to check out fan duel com slash a dual click on videos You can also head on over to the fantasy sports network youtube channel.
