John Deere Classic 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on June 28, 2022

As the golfing world continues its rift between the glitz of the Saudi-back LIV and the competitive golf of the PGA Tour, it’s nice to stop in the Midwest for the 50-year tradition of the John Deere Classic.

There is very little glitz or glamor to be found in Silvis, Illinois, located just a few miles from the Iowa border. This week there are very few of the top golfers in the field as they get ready for The Open Championship in two weeks in Scotland.

But as is also the tradition at the John Deere, there should be lots of birdies and negative numbers. In 2021 the average score was 69.5.

Favorites to Win John Deere Classic

Webb Simpson (+1400)
Adam Hadwin (+1800)
Sahith Theegala (+2500)
Charles Howell III (+2800)
Denny McCarthy (+2800)
Adam Long (+3300)
Brendon Todd (+3300)
Christiaan Bezuldenhout (+3300)
Jason Day (+3300)
Maverick McNealy (+3300)
Nick Hardy (+3300)
Patrick Rodgers (+3300)
Scott Stallings (+3300)

Webb Simpson continues to work his way back from an injured neck, and last week at the Travelers Championship, he almost made it happen. He shot 64-69-66-71, dropping to T13 because of his final round struggles.

He’s the best golfer in this field, and don’t be deterred by his lack of wins in 2022. He is almost ready to break out.

Speaking of breaking out, keep an eye on rookie Sahith Theegala. He now has 25 career events under his belt and has finished in the top 20 eight times, with a career-best T2 coming last week at the Travelers.

He also began the month of June with a T5 at the Memorial, and he is squarely in the mix to win the PGA Tour’s Rookie of the Year.

As you can see from the rest of the numbers on the top golfers in the field, with The Open Championship looming, this John Deere Classic field is wide open.

Longer Shots Worth a Look at John Deere Classic

Steve Stricker (+5000) played his best golf in previous years, but at the John Deere Classic, his best golf was often the very best in the field.

He won the John Deere Classic three straight times from 2009 to 2011, and he’s been in the top 10 in eight of 18 career starts at this event. This is his first start at any event in 11 months.

Christopher Gotterup (+8000) has been a birdie machine this season. The only problem is his consistency, which has kept him from doing any real leaderboard damage.

But he was T7 at the Puerto Rico Open and a T43 at the U.S. Open, which included a 69 in the second round, which showed just how good he could be.

Travelers Championship Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on June 21, 2022

WagerHome.com has all of the tools to get you set up when offering your own Pay Per Head site. Instead of waiting on someone else to offer betting on golf, you can set the odds yourself and begin making some money.

The LIV Golf Series has been pretty dominant in the news over the last few weeks, but the PGA Tour still had most of the action. This week it’s the Travelers Championship, and some of the best golfers in the world will be teeing it up.

There is still one major golf tournament on the yearly calendar, which will take place at the Open Championship. The top golfers in the world will try to stay on top of their game by winning this weekend and taking that momentum across the pond.

Travelers Championship Betting Odds

Here is a look at the updated betting odds to win the Travelers Championship, and these are the odds that you can offer for yourself with your own PPH site.

Scottie Scheffler +1100

Sam Burns +1900
Xander Schauffele +2100
Jordan Spieth +2200

Joaquin Niemann +3500
Davis Riley +3600
Marc Leishman +4600
Mito Pereira +4600
Brooks Koepka +4800
Tommy Fleetwood +4800

You might as well get used to seeing Scottie Scheffler as one of the betting favorites every time he enters a golf tournament. Rory McIlroy is another name that keeps popping up, and he is playing some of the best golf of his career.

Justin Thomas won the PGA Championship in 2022, and he has also had some other close calls along the way. Thomas is in the mix at the Travelers as well, with odds set right behind the biggest names.

Not only are there some pretty clear betting favorites, but there are a ton of other golfers in the mix this weekend as well.

Pick to Win Travelers Championship

This tournament has so many big names that it won’t be easy when trying to make a betting pick or when offering betting to your customers. It’s always hard to bet against Scottie Scheffler, but another major champion will win this weekend.

Justin Thomas will be a popular name to bet on for the Open Championship, and he will come out on top this weekend. If you are setting up your own PPH site through WagerHome.com, don’t be surprised to see plenty of Justin Thomas bets this weekend.

US Open 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on June 14, 2022

When watching Phil Mickelson speak to the press on Monday, in the run up to the US Open 2022, last week’s words from Rory McIlroy were echoing through the room.

“Any decision that you make in your life that’s purely for money usually doesn’t end up going the right way. Money is a deciding factor in a lot of things in this world, but if it’s purely for money, it never seems to go the way you want it.”

Instead of answering questions about his quest to win the one major that has eluded him, Mickelson is answering questions about joining the Saudi Arabian-financed LIV.

And that will be the case for the dozen players who are at US Open 2022 this week, trying to win the top prize of the USGA, after spurning the PGA Tour for the lesser events of the LIV, but with bigger paydays.

Favorites to Win US Open 2022

Rory McIlroy (+1000)
Justin Thomas (+1100)
Scottie Scheffler (+1200)
Jon Rahm (+1400)
Cameron Smith (+1800)
Jordan Spieth (+2200)
Matthew Fitzpatrick (+2200)
Xander Schauffele (+2200)
Will Zalatoris (+2500)
Collin Morikawa (+2500)
Shane Lowry (+2500)
Patrick Cantlay (+2500)
Sam Burns (+2500)

Last year Jon Rahm was the favorite to win the US Open, and he did. So don’t shy away from Rory McIlroy because he’s the US Open 2022 favorite. He has the shortest odds, but if he wins, he wins.

And when he gets hot, he often stays hot. He was second at the Masters, eighth at the PGA, and he just won the Canadian Open.

Speaking of guys playing pretty good golf, how about Justin Thomas, the winner of the PGA Championship four weeks ago. He was also T8 at the Masters and third at last week’s Canadian Open.

Speaking of more guys playing pretty good golf, how about Scottie Scheffler, who has a commanding lead in the FedExCup Standings. The Masters champion has four wins this season, plus a second-place finish three weeks ago at the Charles Schwab, and he was T7 at last year’s US Open.

Best Value Bets

Billy Horschel is paying +4500 even though he just won the Memorial two weeks ago.

He was also a second-place finisher at the Zurich Classic in April. At the Arnold Palmer Invitational back in March, he finished T2. His best effort in the US Open was a T4 in 2013.

Justin Rose at +5000 at the US Open 2022 and is also worth a look. He finished the Canadian Open with a final round 60, and that included three bogeys.

Imagine what could have been. Not only is coming off a near historic round, he is a past US Open winner.

Pay Per Head Software

So much great betting this week with the US Open 2022, the Stanley Cup Finals, the NBA Finals, and the full schedule of Major League Baseball.

There is no time like the present for independent bookmakers to join forces with a top pay per head software provider like WagerHome.com. With WagerHome, you get your own website, access to WagerHome’s huge menu of sports and betting options, plus EZ live betting.

Stanley Cup Finals 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on June 13, 2022

COVID interruptions have made this a longer than normal NHL season, but we have now reached the final series. The Stanley Cup Finals, the best finale to the best playoffs anywhere in professional sports, is set to drop the puck on Wednesday night in Colorado.

You have arguably the best team all season long, the Colorado Avalanche, against the best team from the previous two seasons, the two-time defending Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning.

It’s the best hockey of the season and the best betting of the sports summer.

Stanley Cup Finals Winner Odds

Colorado Avalanche (-190)
Tampa Bay Lightning (+155)

The Lightning are the defending champions, but that doesn’t seem to make much difference when betting on the ultimate series winner. The Avalanche are the big favorite to win the series as the better team this regular season and throughout the playoffs. Home ice also plays a role in those odds.

Stanley Cup Finals Series Final Score

Avalanche 4-0 (+800)
Avalanche 4-1 (+400)
Avalanche 4-2 (+375)
Avalanche 4-3 (+400)
Lightning 4-0 (+2000)
Lightning 4-1 (+1000)
Lightning 4-2 (+550)
Lightning 4-3 (+650)

The most likely result is a 4-2 win for the Avalanche. If the Lightning win the Cup again, a 4-2 win is also the most likely result. A seven-game win pays more than a six-game win, with sweeps paying long odds on both teams.

Series Spread

Avalanche -2.5 (+225)
Avalanche -1.5 (+105)
Avalanche +2.5 (-900)
Avalanche +1.5 (-350)
Lightning +2.5 (-275)
Lightning +1.5 (-125)
Lightning -2.5 (+600)
Lightning -1.5 (+275)

A couple of interesting notes about these series spreads. If the Avs cover a 2.5-game spread, they pay +225. But in exact series scores of 4-0 and 4-1, which are required to cover a 2.5-game spread, you get a bigger payout.

The same situation applies to the Lightning. At -2.5 games, you get +600. But at 4-0 and 4-1, you get payouts of +1000 at a minimum.

Stanley Cup Finals Conn Smythe Trophy Winner

Cale Makar (+175)
Nathan MacKinnon (+200)
Andrei Vasilevskiy (+400)
Nikita Kucherov (+400)
Steven Stamkos (+1400)
Mikko Rantanen (+1600)
Gabriel Landeskog (+2000)
Victor Hedman (+2000)

As expected, the top of the odds board for the Stanley Cup Finals MVP is heavy with Avalanche stars. Cale Makar has had a terrific postseason, scoring five goals and 17 assists in 14 games. Nathan MacKinnon is second to Makar in playoff points, 22 to 18, but he has 11 playoff goals this year.

The shortest odds for the Avalanche belong to goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy and Nikita Kucherov, who had 69 points in just 47 regular-season games, and 23 points in 17 playoff games.

Pay Per Head Software

Just this week, we have the Stanley Cup Finals, the NBA Finals, and the U.S. Open. And of course, there is a full schedule of baseball, and next month NFL training camps open.

Independent bookmakers trying to keep up with it all need to join forces with a top pay per head software provider like WagerHome.com. With WagerHome, you get your own website, access to WagerHome’s huge menu of sports and betting options, plus EZ live betting.

Save Mart 350 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on June 8, 2022

It is time for Save Mart 350! It’s road racing for NASCAR this week in Sonoma, California, and that means only one thing – Chase Elliott is at the top of the odds board as the undisputed king of the road.

But, and this is a big but, Sonoma races more like Circuit of the Americas than any other track, and that race this year was won by underdog Ross Chastain.

So while we know Elliott will be in the mix, anything can happen on this change of pace course.

Favorites to Win Save Mart 350

Chase Elliott (+450)
Kyle Larson (+500)
Martin Truex Jr. (+850)
Ross Chastain (+1000)
Kyle Busch (+1000)
Ryan Blaney (+1400)
A.J. Allmendinger (+1400)
Austin Cindric (+1400)
Joey Logano (+1600)
Chase Briscoe (+1600)
Denny Hamlin (+1600)

No surprise that Chase Elliott is at the top of the board. He has seven wins on road courses since 2016, and during a stretch that went from 2019 to 2021, he won six of eight races.

It is worth noting; however, that as dominant as Elliott is on the road courses, he hasn’t been that way in Sonoma. He did have a second-place finish a year ago at Save Mart 350, but that is his career-best.

In the race that saw Elliott finish in second place at Sonoma in 2021, the man who finished first was Kyle Larson – the Cup champion last year. That was his second top-10 finish at Sonoma and only his second. He doesn’t have a long history of success at Sonoma, but following the win here in 2021, Larson also won at Watkins Glen two months later, and then he won at Charlotte Roval in October.

Ross Chastain did have that surprise win at COTA in March, but he had another top-five finish at COTA in 2021. Plus, when racing at Sonoma that same year, he came in seventh. Although in his previous race at Sonoma in 2019, he finished 33rd.

Longer Odds to Consider

William Byron is paying +2200 to take the W at the Save Mart 350, which is a lot for a guy who currently ranks third in the overall standings and has two checkered flags on this season. His last couple of races have been rough – he hasn’t been in the top-10 since April – but overall, he has raced well this season, and he does have five career top-10 finishes on road courses.

A real longshot to consider is Michael McDowell, paying +10000. He had a pair of top-10 road course finishes in 2021, and in 15 starts this season, he has five top-five finishes.

Pay Per Head Software

Each week there is a new NASCAR race to wager; in golf, the U.S. Open is just around the corner, and the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Playoffs are happening right now. If you are an independent bookmaker looking to supercharge your sports betting business, now is the time to join forces with a top pay per head partner.

RBC Canadian Open 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on June 7, 2022

We are a week away from the U.S. Open. So to get themselves one final tuneup before the third major of the season, a large number of top golfers are meeting in Canada for the RBC Canadian Open – the first playing of this event since 2019.

The event in 2020 and 2021 was wiped out because of COVID-19.

Five of the world’s top nine players are in the field, as are both winners of the two majors already held this year – Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas.

Favorites to Win RBC Canadian Open

Scottie Scheffler (+800)
Justin Thomas (+900)
Rory McIlroy (+1000)
Cameron Smith (+1200)
Sam Burns (+1600)
Corey Conners (+2000)
Matt Fitzpatrick (+2000)
Shane Lowry (+2000)
Tony Finau (+2500)
Tyrrell Hatton (+2800)

Scottie Scheffler is having a 2022 for the ages, winning four of his last ten starts and only losing his last time out in an extra-hole playoff. He is the best golfer in the world, and even with short odds limiting a winning payout on Scheffler, he’s still worth it.

Justin Thomas is the PGA Champion who missed the cut his next time out. We’ll forgive that misstep, coming in the post-win glow on his major championship.

He is going to be in the mix this weekend at RBC Canadian Open because this course is made for a golfer like Thomas. He makes all the shots necessary to win here.

Rory McIlroy is the defending champion at this event, but as mentioned, that came three years ago and on an entirely different course. So his defending champion status is just in name only and doesn’t really carry an extra weight when handicapping the field. Him being Rory McIlroy, however, does carry weight.

At +1600, it’s a good idea to give Sam Burns an extra look. In the aforementioned Scottie Scheffler loss in a playoff, it was to Sam Burns.

Burns is currently ranked second in the FedEx Cup standings. Along with his win at Colonial, Burns was top-20 at the PGA, top-10 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and a winner at the Valspar.

Betting a Canadian

It’s worth noting that a Canadian hasn’t won the RBC Canadian Open since 1954. Still, there are some Canadians who are worth a look if you want to bet on a longer shot.

Aaron Cockerill is having a great season on the DP World Tour, and even though this week’s tournament is his PGA Tour debut, he has the game to be in the mix on Sunday. He’s paying +20000 to take the W at the RBC Canadian Open.

Looking for someone a little more likely to be there at the end, Canadian Mackenzie Hughes is also worth a look. He’s twice finished in the top-15 and was in the hunt early at last week’s tournament. Hughes is paying +5000.

NBA Finals Series 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on June 1, 2022

The NBA Finals tips off on Thursday night, and most experts agree that these are two evenly matched teams that should play one of the great all-time series.

Stephen Curry, one of the best players of his generation, and the Warriors, one of the elite teams of the past ten years, against the classic NBA dynasty, the Boston Celtics.

And most specific to this matchup, it’s the movement offense of Golden State versus the great defense of the Eastern Conference Champion Celtics.

So who’s going to win? And more importantly, what can you bet?

NBA Finals Series Winner

Golden State Warriors Finals Winner (-160)
Boston Celtics Finals Winner (+130)

Indeed it will be a great series, but as we get ready for Game 1, the Warriors are the favorite. Some of that is their home-court advantage, some of it is the Stephen Curry factor, and some of it is the extended rest for Golden State versus the seven-game war the Celtics just played to win the East.

NBA Finals Series Spread

Golden State Warriors -1.5 (+145)
Golden State Warriors -2.5 (+310)
Golden State Warriors +1.5 (-275)
Golden State Warriors +2.5 (-900)
Boston Celtics -1.5 (+220)
Boston Celtics -2.5 (+600)
Boston Celtics +1.5 (-175)
Boston Celtics +2.5 (-400)

This is a bet using a game spread for the Finals winner. If you bet Warriors -2.5, then they need to win the series 4-0 or 4-1. Anything closer, and you lose your bet. Conversely, if you bet Celtics +2.5, they can lose 4-2 and 4-3, and you still win your bet.

Exact Finals Finish

Golden State 4-0 (+1100)
Golden State 4-1 (+450)
Golden State 4-2 (+400)
Golden State 4-3 (+400)
Boston 4-0 (+1600)
Boston 4-1 (+900)
Boston 4-2 (+400)
Boston 4-3 (+600)

A sweep in either direction pays good money. A sweep by the Celtics pays +1600 as the most unlikely result of the eight possible series results.

NBA Finals MVP

Stephen Curry (+100)
Jayson Tatum (+180)
Jaylen Brown (+1000)
Klay Thompson (+1500)
Draymond Green (+1800)
Jordan Poole (+3000)

It’s not surprising that Curry is the favorite to win the NBA Finals MVP Award. What is surprising is that he is paying even money when you consider that he has played on three previous NBA Finals winners and has never won an MVP award. Kevin Durant won back-to-back Finals MVPs, and Andre Iguodala won the other.

Curry was Golden State’s top scorer the year Iguodala won, 2015, but he was second to Durant in 2017 and 2018.

If Boston wins, the huge betting favorite is Jayson Tatum. He leads the team with 27 ppg in the playoffs and was the Eastern Conference Finals MVP.

Pay Per Head Software

The NBA Finals is here; the Stanley Cup Finals soon will be. Plus, there’s baseball, the U.S. Open in golf, and the French Open is winding down in tennis.

With so many sports to wager, this is the perfect time for independent bookmakers to join forces with a top pay per head software provider like WagerHome.com. You get your own customizable website, access to WagerHome’s huge menu of sports and betting options, plus EZ live betting.

The Memorial Tournament 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on May 31, 2022

Before we get into The Memorial Tournament 2022 betting preview, let’s take a look at what happened the previous week.

Another week and another tournament that needed more than 72 holes before we could name a champion. Scottie Scheffler battled his way down the stretch to force the playoff at Colonial, only to lose to Sam Burns on the first extra hole.

That exciting finish followed the exciting end to the PGA Championship, and it all sets us up for Jack Nicklaus’s tournament at The Memorial this weekend.

It’s not quite the field we had at the PGA, nor what we’ll see at the U.S. Open in a couple of weeks. But this is one of the bigger non-majors of the season, and many of the best golfers are in Ohio at Muirfield Village to tee it up.

Favorites to Win The Memorial

Jon Rahm (+1000)
Rory McIlroy (+1100)
Patrick Cantlay (+1600)
Xander Schauffele (+1800)
Collin Morikawa (+2000)
Jordan Spieth (+2000)
Cameron Smith (+2200)
Matt Fitzpatrick (+2500)
Shane Lowry (+2500)
Viktor Hovland (+2500)

Flashback to a year ago, and Jon Rahm is almost a certain winner as he mowed through the field through three rounds. Then he tested positive for COVID-19, and by rule, he was forced to withdraw. Patrick Cantlay went on to win at -13, while Rahm had to watch on television sporting his -18 through 54 holes.

Do you think Rahm is ready to get back after this course? You bet he is, and this is why he is one of the top bets to win The Memorial.

Rory McIlroy has yet to put together four great rounds in a row, but the flashes of the old Rory that we’ve seen over the last few weeks makes it seem like that complete tournament win is just around the corner. He has a pair of top-10s at The Memorial, but he has played better here than his final results would indicate.

In his last three tournaments, McIlroy was eighth at the PGA, fifth at the Wells Fargo Championship, and second at the Masters.

As mentioned above, Patrick Cantlay is the defending The Memorial Tournament champion here, even if his 2021 tournament win was tainted because of the forced withdrawal of Rahm. But he also won here in 2019, and he shot a -19 that year. There is no asterisk next to that victory.

Yes, he was atrocious at the PGA Championship, missing the cut at +11. But in his two tournaments before that, he was the winner in New Orleans and the runner-up at the RBC Heritage.

The U.S. Open is just a couple of weeks away, the NBA Finals tip off this week, and we’re in the Conference Finals for the Stanley Cup. All of that and nightly baseball is a lot for an independent bookmaker to keep on top of.

Coca-Cola 600 2022 Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on May 25, 2022

After a weekend All-Star getaway that saw Ryan Blaney take home the checkered flag, the Cup Series gets back to business this weekend with its longest race of the season, the Coca-Cola 600.

Since 1960 NASCAR has been racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway and at 600 miles. And not only is this race unique on the circuit for its distance, but it’s also the only race that begins in the sunlight and ends under the lights at night.

Favorites to Win Coca-Cola 600

Kyle Larson (+450)
Kyle Busch (+650)
Chase Elliott (+750)
Martin Truex Jr. (+900)
Ryan Blaney (+1000)
William Byron (+1000)
Denny Hamlin (+1000)
Ross Chastain (+1000)
Tyler Reddick (+1400)
Christopher Bell (+1500)

Kyle Larson won this race last year, the first of three straight wins that ended up catapulting him to the Cup Series championship. He opened the week tied with Kyle Busch atop the favorites board but has since put a little space between himself and Busch.

Kyle Busch was third two weeks ago in Kansas, seventh in Dover, and in April, he had four starts, four top-10 finishes, and a win at Bristol. At the Coca-Cola 600 race last year, Busch finished third. He was fourth in 2020, third in 2019, and he was the winner in 2018.

Even after his 29th place finish in Kansas, Chase Elliott remains the season’s overall points leader. Prior to that race, he was fifth at Darlington, the winner at Dover and seventh at Talladega. At the Coca-Cola 600, Elliott finished as the runner-up in each of the previous two years.

Best Value Bets

Kevin Harvick, paying +3000, is still without a win in 2022, and he definitely isn’t an obvious choice in this one. But he races well at Charlotte, finishing in the top-10 in each of his last two starts here. And while Harvick hasn’t won this season, he has been racing well of late.

He was fourth at Dover three weeks ago, the third of three straight top-10 finishes. He also has three other top-10s this season and runner-up at Richmond.

A longer shot that might be worth considering is Ricky Stenhouse Jr, paying +6000. He’s also without a win in 2022, but like Harvick, he has been close. He has four top-10 finishes this season, with three of them coming in his last five starts.

At this race in 2020, he finished fourth, improving on his fifth-place finish in 2019. He’s finished in the top-10 at Charlotte three times and in the top-20 a total of 12 times.

Pay Per Head Software

Each week presents new races, new golf tournaments, and an entire schedule of baseball in which to place wagers. We’re also getting to the end of the NBA and Stanley Cup Playoffs when the betting gets more intense.

Charles Schwab Challenge Betting Preview

by WagerHome Blog on May 24, 2022

As some of the golf world collects its breath after a thrilling end to the PGA Championship last weekend, an invitation-only field will play Colonial this week at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Last week Jordan Spieth referred to the Charles Schwab Challenge course at Southern Hills as, “Colonial, just a little bit on steroids.” So presumably, this will be a more relaxed weekend. It’s also a weekend of golf that most of the Tour is familiar with, as this is the 75th tournament at Colonial – the longest-running PGA Tour event held at the same course.

Favorites to Win Charles Schwab Challenge

Justin Thomas (+1100)
Jordan Spieth (+1200)
Scottie Scheffler (+1200)
Collin Morikawa (+1800)
Will Zalatoris (+2000)
Viktor Hovland (+2200)
Max Homa (+2800)
Sam Burns (+2800)
Abraham Ancer (+3300)
Daniel Berger (+3300)
Sungjae Im (+3300)
Tony Finau (+3300)
Webb Simpson (+3300)

Apart from shooting a 58, there isn’t much Justin Thomas could do this weekend to top the weekend he just had. But if anyone can get back up and focused for a tournament as the newly minted PGA Champion, it’s a golfer like Thomas. He is the Charles Schwab Challenge favorite, and rightfully so.

Almost no one in the field knows this course better than Jordan Spieth, and no one who knows it well plays it better than him. He won Charles Schwab Challenge in 2016, and he’s been the runner-up at Colonial three other times. He’s also motivated after a disappointing weekend at Southern Hills.

It was unfortunate timing for Scottie Scheffler to show his mortality, but even after missing the cut last week, he is still the No. 1 ranked golfer in the world and a good bet to win every time he tees it up.

And yes, every tournament, we say, “Will Zalatoris is primed to get his first Tour victory this weekend,” and my how close we came to being right last weekend. He was just a playoff away from winning the PGA, and he is primed to get his first Tour victory this weekend. Really.

None of the above favorites will result in a big return for your risk, but Tommy Fleetwood would, at +4000. He’s never played Charles Schwab Challenge before, but he’s coming off a T5 at the PGA, and he was the co-leader on Sunday with a 67.

Mito Pereira is also paying +4000, and all eyes will be on him this week to see how he responds to losing the PGA Championship. His 72nd hole at the PGA wasn’t quite a Jean van de Velde-level meltdown, but losing a major tournament that you were poised to win can leave a mark.

Or, you can turn it into a positive. We shall see with Pereira.
