Episode 306 - RBC Heritage Betting Picks, DraftKings Preview

·1 hr 11 min·5 clips

In two minutes, everyone's Masters hopes collapsed as Scottie Scheffler seized control on hole eight.

The episode begins with the hosts noting Brad's absence due to a family event and introducing Matt Vincenzi as the co-host for this combined betting and DraftKings preview episode. They immediately dive into a Masters recap, analyzing Scottie Scheffler's dominant victory and the dramatic collapses of other contenders like Ludvig Åberg and Collin Morikawa. The discussion critiques LIV Golf's performance, noting that despite four players in the top 12, none were in contention on Sunday's back nine, which the hosts deem a shortcoming. Rory McIlroy's mental block at Augusta is extensively debated, with suggestions he might benefit from a local caddy. Rumors about McIlroy potentially joining LIV Golf are discussed, though both hosts acknowledge his denial. Tiger Woods's made cut is noted as impressive given his physical state. The episode then shifts to the RBC Heritage preview. The hosts analyze the top of the betting board, dismissing Scottie Scheffler due to potential fatigue and course fit. They highlight Patrick Cantlay's strong course history and Tommy Fleetwood's recent form. Detailed cases are made for Shane Lowry, citing his top statistical model ranking and excellent Pete Dye form, and for Cam Davis and Taylor Moore as longer-shot value picks. DraftKings lineup construction is discussed, with recommendations to avoid Scheffler and build around players like Åberg, Cantlay, Lowry, and Moore. The hosts conclude with specific betting picks for UK and US audiences, including a top-20 bet on Seamus Power at long odds.
