Jacob Fetner from SportsLine targeted Adolis Garcia as a solid home run prop at +460 odds due to favorable hitting metrics and historical matchup data. Garcia had hit two home runs early in 2025 but was homerless in April so far, signaling he is overdue considering underlying metrics suggesting career-best performances—94.3 mph average exit velocity, 53.5% hard-hit rate, and 58% flyball rate (all career-high values). Fetner also emphasized Garcia's strong historical matchup against pitcher Yusei Kikuchi, with two home runs in nine career at-bats. Fetner noted the model gives Garcia fair odds of about +348, making the available price (+460) a significant value.

Jacob Fetner strongly endorsed Trevor Story as a home run prop at odds of +600, significantly better than the +400 odds available elsewhere. After several below-average seasons and injury struggles, Story is now performing relatively well, hitting .304 with three HRs already this season. Fetner highlighted favorable conditions on Tuesday, noting the Rays' temporary home park (George M. Steinbrenner Field) ranks high on the Home Run Index (8 out of 10). Additionally, he's drawn a particularly soft pitching matchup: Rays starter Ryan Pepiot has recently struggled, allowing five earned runs over his last two starts—including a concerning four long balls, three of which occurred in his prior outing at home.

SportsLine Data Scientist Jacob Fetner recommended backing Tyler Soderstrom at favorable odds of +440 to hit a home run on Tuesday. Despite enduring a five-game home run drought after blasting six HRs in his first ten games, Soderstrom maintains elite underlying metrics. He's ranked 86th percentile or better across MLB in key offensive indicators including average exit velocity, barrel rate, and expected slugging. Fetner emphasized Soderstrom's outstanding 1.119 OPS against right-handed pitching and described the night's pitching matchup as highly favorable. Based on model projections, Fetner set Soderstrom's fair line at +314, highlighting clear value at current odds.

Josh Nagel shared an ambitious three-leg parlay for plus 635 odds, consisting of Alexander Volkanovski vs Ilia Topuria under 3.5 rounds, Yair Rodriguez to defeat Patricio Pitbull via decision, and Nikita Krylov's moneyline to beat Dominick Reyes. Nagel points to correlated outcomes especially in the main event, reasoning an early knockout by Topuria would trigger the under. Rodriguez's athletic striking style matches favorably against Pitbull over the distance, justifying the decision prop. Lastly, Nagel notes Krylov as a well-rounded, consistent top-10 threat against Reyes, who he feels receives a tougher challenge than recent comeback wins. Nagel emphasizes value and realistic outcome correlation in his breakdown, making this parlay attractive as a high-upside wager.

Gippers Picks crafted a thoughtful three-leg parlay focused on fights projected to start slow and reach later rounds. The wagers include Dan Ige vs Sean Woodson over 2.5 rounds, Michael Chandler and Ilia Topuria's fights to start round 2, plus playing the Lopez (Ilia Topuria) main event fight to go over 1.5 rounds, securing a hedge opportunity with a chalky last leg. Gippers highlights that both Chandler and Topuria's five-round bouts will commence conservatively, extending fight length, and maximizes risk management by placing the chalky leg last to allow hedging. This strategy yields a combined parlay at plus 110.

Danny Brasco presents a conservative, but highly-confident two-leg moneyline parlay. Leg one features Nora Cornolle at -175 odds to defeat Hailey Cowan. Cornolle is a skilled French kickboxer, efficient in Muay Thai clinch striking—a stylistic edge against Cowan who Brasco believes lacks UFC-level wrestling and striking. The second leg includes UFC veteran Michal Oleksiejczuk, praised for consistency and sufficient UFC experience. Brasco highlights Cornolle's distinct striking and clinch advantage, combined with Oleksiejczuk's proven reliability, to form this straightforward yet secure parlay.

Danny Brasco favors Michal Oleksiejczuk against Sedriques Dumas, specifically targeting an inside-the-distance finish. Though acknowledging Dumas' wrestling ability, Brasco sees a clear talent gap favoring Oleksiejczuk based on his extensive UFC experience and superior level of recent competition, exemplified by a quality striking performance against ranked opponents like Kevin Holland. Brasco specifically highlights Oleksiejczuk's switch to the elite Fighting Nerds gym. After experiencing a tough defeat to standout prospect Caio Borralho, Oleksiejczuk proactively joined Borralho's camp and now benefits from training and corner assistance from Borralho, significantly elevating his overall skill ceiling and likelihood of finishing Dumas inside the distance.

Danny Brasco strongly backs Nora Cornolle against Hailey Cowan due to her significant striking advantage inside the Muay Thai clinch. Highlighting Cornolle's ability to utilize damaging knees and elbows effectively from the plum grip, Brasco expects plenty of opportunities as Cowan attempts grapple-heavy attacks. Brasco believes Cowan, primarily a grappler who he considers not UFC-caliber, will struggle significantly to take Cornolle down, leaving Cowan vulnerable to Cornolle's clinch striking offense. He emphasizes Cornolle's overall damage upside and superior striking as decisive factors.

Danny Brasco confidently backs Virna Jandiroba to secure a submission against Yan Xiaonan at strong plus odds (+260). Citing Jandiroba's highly technical grappling, dangerous back-takes, and lethal arm bars (demonstrated recently when she submitted Amanda Lemos), Brasco predicts Jandiroba will control Xiaonan positions repeatedly. While usually wary of elite fighters risking position for submissions, Brasco fully endorses Jandiroba's aggressive submission attempts because of her unmatched grappling skill set. This makes the submission prop particularly attractive given the stylistic matchup and perceived grappling mismatch favoring Virna.

Josh Nagel recommends betting Ilia Topuria by knockout at big plus odds, citing clear logic around Topuria's path to victory against Alexander Volkanovski. Nagel emphasizes that Topuria's submission skills, while strong, are unlikely to finish Volkanovski due to the champion's historically elite submission defense, as seen in bouts against Brian Ortega and Islam Makhachev. Instead, Nagel sees Topuria's best chance coming from early striking success that capitalizes on Volkanovski's potentially vulnerable chin. As Topuria has previously shown cardio limitations in longer fights, betting on a knockout outcome early makes considerable strategic sense at +275 odds.

Gippers Picks is highly confident in Jean Silva achieving a knockout against Bryce Mitchell, emphasizing Silva's significant edge in stand-up striking. Silva is described as calculated and patient, waiting for the right opening for his jab or hook combinations. Gippers expect Mitchell might have early success with takedowns in round one, but Silva has strong takedown defense, specifically honed at The Fighting Nerds gym—one of MMA's hottest gyms now. Given Mitchell's vulnerability to power punchers, Gippers is especially enthusiastic about betting Silva by knockout at +120 and specifically via second round knockout for even larger odds.

The SportsLine Projection Model likes the Yankees to secure a win Saturday over the Giants, largely due to their potent offense at Yankee Stadium, where they have outscored opponents 53-32 this season. New York ranks third in MLB with a .265 team batting average and their 26 home runs are second only to the defending World Series-champion Dodgers. Despite recent inconsistent results, the Model views their home-field advantage as pivotal and recommends betting the Yankees at -134 odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook.

The SportsLine Projection Model strongly backs Jazz Chisholm to record at least one hit versus the Giants. While Chisholm is in a recent five-game hitless slump, the model highlights his previous performance at home when favored, where Chisholm has exceeded his total bases prop in eight of the last twelve games averaging 1.5 bases per contest. Given these trends, SportsLine predicts a return to form and rates this a high-confidence, five-star selection.

Mike McClure advises including Tyrrell Hatton in DFS lineups for the 2025 Masters due to his consistent history at Augusta National. Hatton has successfully made the cut in six of his last seven Masters appearances, providing a safe floor for DFS lineups. He secured a top-10 finish (T9) at Augusta last year, further showcasing his ability to perform in this high-stakes environment. With no major championships yet in his career, Hatton is highly motivated and is regarded as one of golf's top players without a major. Given his consistency and reasonable DFS price of $8,600 on DraftKings and $10,200 on FanDuel, Hatton represents excellent lineup value according to McClure.

Mike McClure recommends rostering Patrick Cantlay as a top DFS pick in the 2025 Masters due to his consistently strong performances in majors. Cantlay has finished inside the top 25 in four of his last six appearances at Augusta and eight of his past ten majors overall, indicating he is highly reliable in major championship settings. His recent form is strong as well, with top-five finishes this year at prestigious Tour events like The American Express and Genesis Invitational. Despite never winning a major, Cantlay's steady presence in big tournaments positions him well to challenge at Augusta, making him a strong DFS investment at $8,700 on DraftKings and $10,000 on FanDuel.

Mike McClure advises against rostering Ludvig Aberg in 2025 Masters fantasy lineups because of his inconsistent recent play and expected high ownership. Despite Aberg finishing second at last year's Masters and having short odds (14-1), his recent performances raise concern—he missed the Players Championship cut and struggled in four of his first six PGA Tour events this season, finishing outside the top 20. Additionally, after his runner-up debut at Augusta, Aberg missed the weekend cut at two of the following three major championships, making him a potential trap for fantasy managers.

Mike McClure is targeting Tommy Fleetwood as a high-value fantasy pick for the 2025 Masters on FanDuel and DraftKings despite his 35-1 longshot odds. Augusta National suits Fleetwood's game, as shown by his third-place finish at the 2024 Masters—his best performance at this event. Fleetwood has also performed consistently in major championships, having top-five finishes in all four majors and making the cut in seven of eight Augusta starts. Recently, he's been impressive statistically, ranking fourth on the PGA Tour in total strokes gained this season, enhancing his appeal as an under-the-radar fantasy golf selection.

Eric Cohen likes Patrick Reed as a safe, reliable option to finish in the top 20 at the 2025 Masters, pointing to Reed's consistently strong performance at Augusta National. Reed captured the green jacket in 2018 and has maintained steady production since then, tallying four top-12 finishes in his last six Masters appearances. Cohen emphasized Reed's elite putting results on Augusta's challenging greens, highlighting that he has gained a combined 20 strokes putting over the past five Masters tournaments. Coming off his 10th worldwide victory at the 2024 Hong Kong Open, Reed's current form adds further confidence for Cohen that Reed will comfortably fit within an eighth-to-18th place finish, making a top-20 wager at +260 especially appealing.

Sia Nejad expressed a preference against betting Scottie Scheffler at current short odds in the outright winner market for The Masters. Nejad acknowledged Scheffler's elite talent and did not question his overall capability, but felt strongly that current betting prices on Scheffler offered limited value. Instead of placing bets on golfers positioned at the very top of the odds board, Nejad highlighted his preference to look elsewhere for stronger value propositions with more attractive pricing.

Sia Nejad advised avoiding short-priced outright bets on Rory McIlroy for The Masters. While recognizing Rory is undeniably capable and talented, Nejad expressed reluctance due explicitly to Rory's short odds, describing them as unappealing for betting purposes. He clarified that although he wouldn't criticize other bettors who back McIlroy at the current price, Nejad himself intended to avoid making such short-priced wagers. Instead, he prefers targeting golfers in slightly longer odds ranges for better value opportunities.

Sia Nejad argued strongly in favor of betting Collin Morikawa for The Masters, stating that concerns surrounding Morikawa's struggles closing tournaments are misleading and create betting value. He compared Morikawa's situation to that of an NFL wide receiver who occasionally drops passes but consistently gets open—in other words, Morikawa's presence atop leaderboards means he's continually in position to win because he's that talented. While acknowledging that Sunday performances can be concerning, Nejad believes these worries are overstated and that Morikawa consistently contending in elite fields indicates strong underlying performance. Nejad emphasized that, particularly if Morikawa's odds are between 16-to-1 and 22-to-1, that represents attractive betting value.

Mike McClure supported betting on Xander Schauffele's outright victory given current pricing around 20-to-1, citing his baseline talent, Augusta comfort, and potential to rebound strongly following recent injury concerns. He emphasized that Schauffele's odds would be markedly shorter (likely around 10-to-1) if fully healthy, creating a strong opportunity given that Schauffele's current questionable form appears a short-term issue rather than a larger talent problem. Mike suggests bettors willing to speculate slightly on fitness stand to gain significant value by locking in current odds before updates on recovery push Schauffele's odds shorter again.

Mike McClure strongly supported betting Bryson DeChambeau at current odds (12-1) within the alternative betting market that excludes favorites like Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa, Jon Rahm, and Ludvig Aberg. McClure believes Bryson's price in this adjusted market represents particularly attractive value, suggesting that his actual odds are likely to shorten significantly as the Masters approaches. Given Bryson's ideal skill match for Augusta (driving distance and aggressiveness) plus expected market adjustment, McClure sees current odds as highly favorable.

Sia Nejad spotlighted Patrick Reed's attractive 45-1 odds in specialized betting markets excluding top-tier favorites (Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Morikawa, Rahm, and Ludvig Aberg). Comparing Reed's odds to others like Koepka and Lowry who are priced significantly shorter, Nejad points to Reed as offering strong long-shot potential given his proven Augusta track record. He places appeal on targeting Reed in these alternate betting markets as a high-upside wager given Augusta-centric game strengths, scrambling ability, and historical Masters success.

Mike McClure highlighted Corey Conners as showing compelling value at his current outright price of around 66-1 but made a stronger recommendation for betting him in top-20 and DFS markets. Conners has proven excellent at Augusta, and McClure cited this consistent positive course history, seeing significant potential in betting markets offering around +200 for a top-20 finish. He emphasized targeting Conners more actively in top-20 markets due to likelihood of a strong but not winning performance at the Masters.

Sia Nejad sees significant value betting on Xander Schauffele at 20-to-1 odds for the Masters, given the favorable price stemming from uncertainty around Xander's recent recovery and current form. Schauffele, who has strong historical finishes at Augusta (8th, T10, T3 in three of the last four Masters), has recently returned from injury and shown some encouraging signs, notably improved approach play despite mixed results overall. Nejad argues Schauffele's price could realistically be around 14-to-1 or even 10-to-1 if fully healthy and believes betting now capitalizes on potential market inefficiency as the event approaches. He notes Schauffele has had a couple weeks off to further sharpen his game, reinforcing the value at current pricing.

Mike McClure was skeptical of betting Collin Morikawa as an outright winner at the Masters based on the high price and Morikawa's inconsistent ability to close tournaments on Sundays. While acknowledging Morikawa as an elite talent capable of winning, McClure expressed unwillingness to bet him as the golfer with third-best odds behind Scheffler and McIlroy. He argued a more appropriate price for Morikawa would be around 20-1, closer to Jon Rahm's number, rather than the current +1400 range. McClure emphasized a lack of trust in Morikawa closing tournaments makes him a less appealing betting choice at shorter prices relative to other elite golfers in the field.

Mike McClure flagged Brooks Koepka as a probable DFS fade for the Masters due to DFS ownership concerns. Despite acknowledging Koepka's proven ability as a 'big game hunter' who excels during major championships, McClure warned Koepka typically draws inflated ownership numbers. Given the field strength and DFS strategy, he viewed Koepka as potentially overvalued and best avoided in fantasy lineups due to limited leverage opportunities, despite the golfer's major tournament success.

Mike McClure supported the idea of targeting Corey Conners in DFS formats for the Masters, describing Conners as a golfer who consistently plays better than expected at Augusta National. Conners has recorded three top-10 finishes at Augusta, an elite record that showcases his steady and reliable course fit. However, McClure cautioned against betting Conners outright given the field strength, preferring exposure through DFS lineups instead. He believes Conners' value may be overlooked relative to higher-profile players, potentially providing differentiation in fantasy contests.

Mike McClure expressed no concerns about Hideki Matsuyama's recent missed cut, emphasizing that Matsuyama remains a strong candidate to succeed at Augusta National due to his outstanding short game. Although Matsuyama enters the Masters coming off disappointing recent form, McClure explained that Augusta significantly rewards elite around-the-green play—something Matsuyama possesses at an elite level. He implied Matsuyama's DFS ownership could be lower due to recent struggles, creating strong leverage potential in tournaments.

Mike McClure strongly recommended Patrick Reed as a high-upside DFS target because of his proven scrambling ability and consistent excellence around Augusta National's greens. Reed carries impressive course history, with recent finishes including T-12 and T-4 in the past two Masters. McClure explained that Reed's specific skill set—chipping accuracy and understanding Augusta's difficult greens—is exceptionally valuable at this particular event, far more so than at typical PGA tournaments. He suggested targeting Reed particularly in top-20 betting markets and daily fantasy golf lineups, given his likelihood to finish strongly in elite fields.

Mike McClure pointed out strong outright betting value on Bryson DeChambeau for the Masters, emphasizing his ideal course fit and driving distance. DeChambeau notably has the ability to significantly alter course layout with his length off the tee, positioning himself advantageously against the average PGA golfer. McClure also highlighted that Bryson tends to rise to the occasion in major tournaments, further strengthening the argument for placing bets on him. He specifically noted Bryson's odds in the +1800 to +2000 range as being 'pretty fair numbers' and attractive from a betting standpoint given the course conditions and his skillset.

Richard Louis highlighted Jasson Dominguez as a strong option to go over 0.5 hits at -210 odds facing Pirates' pitcher Bailey Falter. Dominguez has started well in 2025, hitting .292 with seven total hits and coming off a 2-for-4 performance in Friday's opener against Pittsburgh that included two RBIs and a double. He's recorded multiple hits in three straight games. Falter has struggled early, surrendering seven hits in his first start against Miami Marlins. Those factors make Dominguez's single hit prop a highly compelling bet for Saturday's matchup.

Richard Louis advised targeting Aaron Judge to collect at least one RBI in the Yankees matchup with the Pirates at -115 odds. Judge has begun the season in dominant form, leading MLB with 17 RBI and six home runs through only seven games. He produced two RBIs against the Pirates in the series opener on Friday and has recorded at least one RBI in four of seven contests this year. Judge has historically excelled versus Pittsburgh too, totaling 15 hits and 10 RBI against the Pirates, making this RBI prop especially attractive against Pittsburgh's pitching staff, currently ranked seventh-worst in runs allowed across MLB.

Richard Louis recommended placing a bet on the Pirates at +140 in their matchup against the Yankees on April 5. Louis referenced SportsLine's model projection, which forecasts 4.5 runs for Pittsburgh offense against Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman, who struggled last season with a high 1.47 WHIP and started slow this year giving up three earned runs in just 4.2 innings during his first start. Despite being sizable underdogs, the model sees substantial value in Pittsburgh and gives them a 42% chance of winning, justifying the Pirates as a smart betting play at plus-money odds.

Mike McClure's SportsLine model highlights Denny McCarthy as a valuable betting target at 30-1 odds for the 2025 Valero Texas Open. McCarthy nearly captured his first PGA Tour victory at this event last year, pushing Akshay Bhatia into a playoff after firing a stunning 9-under 63 in the final round. His performance in par-4 scoring—ranking eighth currently on Tour—is a significant advantage, contributing to his steady presence at leaderboards this season, including four top-20 finishes over his last five tournaments. Although his putting has uncharacteristically faltered compared to his elite performance last season (seventh in one-putt percentage, fourth in putts per round), any improvement on the greens this week could position McCarthy for another deep run and potential victory at TPC San Antonio.

Mike McClure's SportsLine model recommends betting on Jordan Spieth at the Valero Texas Open, placing significant value on his 22-1 odds. Spieth has shown excellent form at this course historically, highlighted by his emotional breakthrough win at TPC San Antonio in 2021, ending a four-year drought. His consistency at the event is impressive, with top-10 finishes in four of his last six starts here, including a 10th place last year. Spieth is improving statistically as well, currently ranked 44th on the PGA Tour in total strokes gained—an encouraging leap from his 80th-place ranking last year. Combining his course history, current form, and improved statistical profile, Spieth offers compelling betting value heading into this week's event.

Mike McClure's SportsLine model identifies Daniel Berger as a high-value longshot bet at 40-1 odds for the 2025 Valero Texas Open. Berger has quietly built impressive momentum, finishing T-20 or better in four of his last five tournaments and notably earning a runner-up finish at the WM Phoenix Open. Key driving statistics underscore his competitive edge at TPC San Antonio: he ranks fifth in total driving overall (score of 80), placing him among the very best. Additionally, he's 10th in driving accuracy, hitting 67.35% of fairways—critical at a challenging layout—and ranks 12th in strokes gained total (1.334). Berger's skill set aligns extremely well with the demands of the tournament course, making him a potential payday pick for sharp bettors seeking value at longer odds.

Mike McClure's SportsLine simulation strongly suggests that Ludvig Aberg, the odds-on favorite for the Valero Texas Open, will significantly underperform this week. Despite winning at the Genesis Invitational earlier this season and starting strong with a T-5 finish at The Sentry, Aberg is suffering from a notable dip in performance recently. Over his past two tournaments, Aberg finished T-22 or worse and missed the cut at a high-profile event, The Players Championship. Analytical data highlights critical weaknesses: he's currently ranked just 99th in strokes gained: approach to the green at -0.033, and an even lower 130th in driving accuracy at only 54.81 percent. Additionally, issues surfaced on the greens, as Aberg ranks poorly at 98th in strokes gained putting (-0.002) and 161st in total putting (261.8). Such struggles are particularly damaging at TPC San Antonio—a course demanding precise ball-striking and steady putting—thus making Aberg a risky and lower-value betting option despite his favored status.

Sia Nejad does not favor Taiga Semikawa for DFS at the Houston Open due to poor course fit. Nejad stated he prefers Semikawa primarily at positional golf courses that play shorter and require precision. He explicitly doubted Memorial Park suits Semikawa's skillset, implying the course's demanding driving and challenging around-the-green conditions make Semikawa a weaker option this week.

Rick Gehman strongly warned against rostering Nick Dunlap in DFS this week due to alarmingly severe struggles off the tee. Dunlap has amassed significant penalties off the tee, losing nearly eight strokes in just two rounds at TPC Sawgrass and repeating that catastrophic performance at Bay Hill. Gehman detailed Dunlap's recent inability to accurately position the ball at Torrey Pines, Scottsdale, and Pebble Beach, resulting in heavy strokes lost from constant hazards and penalties. Labeling Dunlap's driving accuracy profile as possibly the worst he's ever seen over a sustained 10-event stretch, Gehman firmly advised a full avoid this week.

Sia Nejad suggested Brandt Snedeker ($6,500) as an unexpectedly intriguing DFS dart throw due to his sneaky recent form. Snedeker produced a T10 at the Puerto Rico Open and a made cut at Valspar Championship (T57), raising eyebrows after extended struggles. Nejad regards Snedeker's competent short game and decent off-the-tee play as sufficient justification to consider him for DFS lineups requiring inexpensive shots, citing a potential resurgence worth monitoring closely.

Sia Nejad identified Ryan Fox ($6,900) as speculative DFS value, recommending careful optimism for his potential this week. Fox showed flashes of quality recently, including two standout rounds at Valspar and a T20 at the Players Championship, hinting at improved consistency and comfort. While Fox's previous Houston Open finish was mediocre (T78), Nejad believes Fox’s overall game and the underlying skills he displays off the tee make him a potentially underrated source of value this week in DFS lineups searching for discounted players.

Sia Nejad remains confidently supportive of Danny Walker as solid DFS value at $6,600, despite a narrowly missed cut in his last start. Walker's profiles consistently rated well historically and particularly suited to Memorial Park's layout. Nejad emphasized that last week's missed cut was minimal and not a significant downturn, citing just a small loss on Thursday followed by a minor stroke gain Friday, barely missing weekend play. Walker's past sustained strong performances throughout 2025 and underlying statistical consistency justify continued trust and DFS utilization this week, especially in lineups taking on higher-priced top-end golfers.

Rick Gehman expressed caution when considering Andrew Novak in DFS at the Houston Open. He outlined Novak's two best results of 2025 came both at Torrey Pines, raising some doubts about his upside on other PGA venues. Gehman described Novak's gameplay under pressure at Farmers as shaky and stressed, barely holding it together when contending. He views Novak as a safer, lower-ceiling DFS option compared to Jake Knapp, advising skepticism about Novak's general tournament-winning or high-placement upside away from known favorable courses.

Sia Nejad enthusiastically endorsed Jake Knapp ($7,700) as a high-upside DFS pick at the Houston Open. Nejad highlighted Knapp's volatile but elite tournament-winning capabilities, labeling him as a "Ricky Bobby" type—prone to finishes near first or last. Nejad noted Knapp significantly improves a DFS lineup's upside given his explosive potential, evidenced by his PGA Tour win and erratic but impressive approach and short game metrics. Though recognizing the option carries substantial risk, Nejad emphasized Knapp as an optimal play in multi-entry GPP formats where tournament-winning potential matters more than consistency.

Rick Gehman sees Davis Riley as a worthwhile DFS play at $7,600 despite Riley's brutal recent history of missed cuts. Gehman noted Riley's visible turnaround with two top-seven finishes in his last three events and four consecutive made cuts. Riley's improving approach play, coupled with consistently decent putting numbers, signals a return to competitive form. Gehman indicated comfortable expectations, taking even a T19 finish at his DraftKings price but affirmed Riley's current level of play justifies the potential risk of rostering him again after prolonged struggles.

Sia Nejad remains confidently bullish on Joe Highsmith following Highsmith's recent string of excellent performances, notably improving his traditionally troublesome putting. After advocating and betting Highsmith last week, only narrowly missing a larger payday due to a missed short putt on the 18th green, Nejad maintained enthusiasm for Highsmith at Memorial Park. Given Highsmith's considerable tee-to-green strengths and continued putting improvement, Nejad clearly considers him worthy of continued strong DFS and betting consideration.
