Negative Taek
Striking senior form but Masters rust make DFS fade

Rick Gehman acknowledged Angel Cabrera's surprisingly strong recent form, including a senior tour win and fourth-place finish at the SAS Championship, but strongly advised against rostering Cabrera at Augusta. Cabrera is returning to Masters action after serving a multi-year prison sentence and has not competed at Augusta since 2019, missing three straight Masters cuts previously. While impressed with Cabrera's current senior form, Gehman explicitly stated he will not consider Cabrera for DFS lineups this week due to significant competitive rust and related uncertainty at major level competition.

Positive Taek
Strong longshot option for top Latin American finisher

Pat Mayo recommended taking a chance on Angel Cabrera in the top Latin American market at tempting odds of 12 to 1. While acknowledging Cabrera's unusual circumstances of playing straight from prison release, Mayo argued specifically that Joaquin Niemann’s inconsistency—but heavy favorite status—creates betting value in Cabrera or other longshots to win this narrow market without necessarily needing elite play. Mayo highlighted the difference in volatility and short-term golf variance as key reasons to consider a small stake on Cabrera.

Positive Taek
Intriguing top senior bet after recent jail release

Byron Lindeque sees Angel Cabrera as an intriguing play for top senior at Augusta after his recent release from a two-year jail sentence. Despite Phil Mickelson being the heavy favorite, Lindeque humorously and earnestly endorsed Cabrera's betting value, noting that Cabrera recently won on the senior tour immediately following his prison release. Lindeque playfully pointed to Cabrera's likely intense strength and conditioning routine in prison and expressed genuine belief Cabrera could deliver a surprise performance and provide real betting value in the senior market due to his sneaky revived form and legendary toughness.
