Data Skrive highlighted TJ Friedl's recent lackluster performance and difficult matchup against the Giants to suggest that Friedl is unlikely to be productive offensively. Friedl's current batting line of .275/.326/.350 includes only one home run, four RBI, and modest run production with a low power profile. With just one hitless at-bat in the previous game against San Francisco (0-for-2, 1 K, 1 BB) and challenging odds (+300 RBI and +1250 for HR), the market clearly projects difficulty for Friedl to produce significant offensive numbers facing Giants starter Landen Roupp at the pitcher-friendly Oracle Park.

Oddspedia highlighted Corey Conners as a strong sleeper candidate at the 2025 Masters, noting his impressive recent run on the PGA Tour. Conners has registered three consecutive top-eight finishes leading up to the tournament, positioning him among the hottest golfers on tour right now. His current form and recent consistency indicate excellent value at his current betting odds (+6600).

Draftkings Network believes Russell Henley's odds of +5000 for the Masters are significantly undervalued. Henley enters the tournament in peak form, securing four top-10 finishes in just seven starts this season and recently achieving his fifth career PGA TOUR victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, a Signature Event featuring a stacked field. Henley has consistently been known as one of the TOUR’s best iron players, and this season his elite putting has elevated his game to new heights. Given these factors, Henley appears to be severely underrated and a strong sleeper play at Augusta National.

Patrick McDonald identified Sepp Straka as an undervalued sleeper pick at the 2025 Masters due to his stellar driving accuracy and iron play. McDonald emphasized Straka’s top-10 rankings in both categories this season, mirroring the skill set that earned him a strong T-16 finish at Augusta in the previous season. Last year, Straka notably ranked sixth in driving accuracy, fifth in greens in regulation, and eighth in strokes gained tee-to-green at the Masters. Recent significant improvements in Straka’s short game around the greens further boost his chances for a breakthrough performance at Augusta.

BetMGM sees Ludvig Aberg as an attractive choice for the 2025 Masters based on strong recent form and past Masters performance. Last year, Aberg nearly ended the longstanding trend of first-timers struggling at Augusta, narrowly missing victory and finishing runner-up. While illness held him back in January and February, he quickly rebounded with a significant victory at the Genesis Invitational where he gained 10 strokes tee-to-green—third-highest of his career. Known for his elite ball striking, Aberg is well positioned to succeed in the Masters tournament this year.

Draftkings Network touted Xander Schauffele as a great early bet for the 2025 Masters, emphasizing his recent momentum following a delayed start to the season due to a rib injury. After shaking off rust in his initial appearances, Schauffele caught fire at the Valspar Championship, recording an exceptional 11.2 strokes gained on approach shots—a career-best performance. Noting Schauffele's track record of delivering his best golf in major championships, Draftkings Network believes he presents compelling value at current betting odds.

Mark Giannotto highlighted Collin Morikawa as a prime candidate to win the 2025 Masters, pointing to Morikawa's impressive position ranking second in strokes gained tee-to-green for 2025, only behind Rory McIlroy. He noted Morikawa has quietly flown under the radar due to an 18-month winning drought, most recently missing the chance at victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Despite this, Morikawa has earned three top-10 finishes in just five starts this season and has proven his championship pedigree with prior victories at the PGA Championship and British Open. Giannotto believes Morikawa is ready to take the next step at Augusta National.

Sportsbook Wire highlighted Zac Gallen as a strong pitcher to back, noting his exceptional strikeout upside (14.3 K/9 ranks third in MLB). Gallen is coming off a dominant start against the Yankees, throwing 6 2/3 scoreless innings and allowing just three hits. Opponents are batting a mere .171 against Gallen this season. Although facing an Orioles offense ranked sixth in MLB hits (.263 average) and 10th in slugging (.419), Gallen's recent stellar form and high strikeout rate position him for another solid outing. This combination makes him especially intriguing for DFS lineups and betting scenarios.

Sportsbook Wire cast doubt on Zach Eflin's upside in his upcoming start against Arizona. Eflin owns a modest 3.75 ERA and ranks low in strikeout rate (5.2 K/9 - 80th among qualifiers). He faces a D-backs offense that's been explosive, ranking fifth in MLB with 58 runs, hitting .261 with a .450 slugging percentage (sixth-ranked). Despite Eflin's solid WHIP (.917, 19th-ranked) and consecutive six-inning quality outings, the tough matchup against a lineup that's scored prolifically and hit for power tempers expectations. Eflin could be a fade candidate in DFS and betting given the offensive strength he's up against.

Cameron DaSilva advised against wagering on favorite Scottie Scheffler (+350 odds) at the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open. DaSilva noted that although it's typically easy to back the world's No. 1 golfer, Scheffler currently presents limited betting value, combined with relatively lackluster form by his own exceptional standards so far this season. With more compelling values and form elsewhere in the field, DaSilva suggested avoiding Scheffler this week.

Cameron DaSilva suggested considering Gary Woodland as a long-shot candidate at +12500 odds for the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open. Although Woodland has recently struggled and his performance has declined after an earlier strong start to this year, DaSilva pointed to his solid track record at Memorial Park. Woodland finished 21st and ninth in his last two starts here. DaSilva believes Woodland's familiarity and historical comfort at this venue offer promising upside at his greatly elevated odds.

Cameron DaSilva identified Joel Dahmen as a valuable long-shot bet at +12500 odds for the Texas Children's Houston Open. Despite Dahmen's uneven performances this season—with two top-10 finishes but also four missed cuts—DaSilva cited his course-specific track record. Dahmen has played well in two of three appearances at Memorial Park, finishing fifth in 2021 and ninth in 2022. While he missed the cut last year, DaSilva saw enough previous evidence of Dahmen's comfort on this challenging course to justify taking a chance at long odds.

Cameron DaSilva recommended backing Thomas Detry at +5000 odds for the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open, emphasizing Detry's strong recent performances. Detry posted a tied-for-second finish last year at Memorial Park behind Stephan Jaeger. DaSilva noted Detry already won earlier this season at the WM Phoenix Open by a large margin and arrives this week in stable form after a T-22 at the recent Valspar Championship. Given Detry's proven success at Memorial Park, DaSilva positioned him as an appealing value option.

Cameron DaSilva picked Min Woo Lee (+4000 odds) as a strong contender at the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open on his debut at Memorial Park. DaSilva highlighted Lee's significant driving distance, which fits perfectly at the 7,474-yard par-70 course. He also underscored Lee's excellent short game, evidenced by ranking 15th in strokes gained: putting and 9th around the green. DaSilva argued that if Lee can find consistency with his iron play—his only real question mark—he has all the tools to claim victory due to his strong overall recent form.

Cameron DaSilva advised betting on Tony Finau at the 2025 Texas Children's Houston Open at attractive +3300 odds, pointing out his excellent recent finishes at Memorial Park. Finau secured second place two years ago and won last year, showcasing his clear affinity and consistency at this course. Despite strong opponents like Scheffler and McIlroy in the field, DaSilva emphasized Finau's past success coupled with better betting value compared to gambling on Scheffler (+350), whose form has been average by his lofty standards.
