Chris Wassel 3 years agoKramer Hickok Could Contend Again at Detroit
In two of the last three tournaments, Kramer Hickok has held it together and the results speak for themselves. He finished second at the Travelers with all four rounds in the 60's. That included a Sunday 67 where Hickok made no major mistakes. Since the American Express Championship in January, it has been an awful […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAdam Hadwin Still Expected to be All Over the Place at Detroit
Adam Hadwin's game literally can change from hole to hole at times. Where he maintained a level head at the Charles Schwab and U.S. Open, he lost it at the Travelers as Hadwin missed the cut on an easier course. He can putt great but approaching the green has been a mighty struggle the last […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoEmiliano Grillo Wildcard Pick at Detroit
Emiliano Grillo is an intriguing golfer to look at for the Detroit course. Can he build off that 65 at the Travelers from last Friday? That is the question. His biggest problem, like most golfers this year, has been consistency. That 65 was preceded by a 74 last Thursday which felt more like a 77 […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoLanto Griffin Not Expected to be in Detroit Mix
Lanto Griffin made the cut at the Travelers Championship then proceeded to just hover around 70th place all weekend. He did not perform well at all after a Friday 67 helped him see Saturday. Even at the US Open, Griffin missed too many shots which caused some crooked rounds. That did not happen as much […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoLucas Glover May Bounce Back at Detroit
Lucas Glover's putter failed him last week at the Palmetto Championship. He could not recover after an opening-round 76. Ultimately, he missed the cut. The frustrating part for Glover is this. He puts some rounds together and then there are a few holes where shots go wayward and then instantly a good round goes bad. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRickie Fowler Roller Coaster Could Continue at Detroit
It seems like Rickie Fowler has a couple of up tournaments followed by some down ones. Then, this becomes rinse and repeat. He finished in a tie for 8th and 11th at two of the more challenging events on tour (PGA and The Memorial). Then, he misses the cut with a Friday 75 at The […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoBryson DeChambeau Still Trying to Find Top Form at Detroit
Bryson DeChambeau is still looking for that form like he had when he won the Arnold Palmer in March. His long game is still there and he drives the ball best on tour at 322.4 yards. However, that driver has let him down more often than not lately as he ranks 186th in driving accuracy […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoJason Day Could Contend at Detroit This Week
When Jason Day is healthy, he is one of the ten best golfers in the world. The problem is that has not happened often. Day took a month off between tournaments and finished in the top ten at the Travelers Championship. He put together four solid rounds including a spectacular 62 on Friday where Day […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoCameron Champ Not Expected to be Factor at Detroit
If it feels like Cameron Champ has skipped the last month or so on tour, it is because he more or less has. The golfer has missed cuts or withdrawn from the last four tournaments. This followed a span where he made four straight cuts. Champ cannot string rounds together often. Even at the Masters […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRafa Cabrera Bello Could Have Short Stay at Detroit
The Rocket Mortgage Writer Tournament could be unkind to Rafa Cabrera Bello this week. Fortunately, this is a shorter course at just over 7300 yards. Cabrera Bello barely drives the ball over 287 yards but is 52nd in driving accuracy (64.4%). The problem is he cannot hit a green in regulation. The golfer ranks just […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKeegan Bradley Not Putting Well, Could Be Trouble at Detroit
Keegan Bradley can be almost an all-or-nothing golfer. Consider that he finished in the top-20 at the PGA Championship then followed that up by missing two straight cuts. When one misses the Travelers' Championship cut, that raises some red flags. He ranks 186th in putting (-.486 strokes gained). Again, everything else about his game is […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoErik Jones Not a Good Idea for DFS at Pocono
Erik Jones started 22nd on Saturday at Pocono and that is just where he ended after 130 laps. It has been a bit of a theme lately. Jones has not enjoyed much positive place differential other than Sonoma (+7) and Austin (+13). The Richard Petty Motorsports driver briefly broke into the top 15 while others […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAustin Dillon Not Expected Much on Sunday at Pocono
Austin Dillon starts from the 21st position on Sunday for the 140-lap race. Things looked promising when he had some speed and clean air. He was ninth after the first stage then had a variety of issues which left him 25th after the second stage. Dillon never truly could recover after that. He struggled in […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChris Buescher Starts from Pole on Sunday at Pocono
How fast does Chris Buescher drop from the pole is the main question. However, could he lead a few laps before he does? The Roush Fenway Racing driver kept falling behind from about the midway point of the race on. Every time he caught up a bit, Buescher just seemed to miss the groove or […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoMichael McDowell Could Lead Some More Laps at Pocono
Michael McDowell had a decent run going at Pocono on Saturday but just could not keep the groove during the longer runs. McDowell was in the top-15 for most of the race though and even led five laps when the contenders pitted. There were times when his car definitely had clean air and it showed. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoMartin Truex Jr. Needs to Find Groove at Pocono
It is odd to see Martin Truex Jr. struggle as he has over the past several weeks. Pocono seemed to offer refuge and when he was seventh after Stage 2, there was hope. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver lost track position in droves after that, however. He even fell out of the top 20 briefly […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChristopher Bell Hopes for Better Result at Pocono on Sunday
Christopher Bell never truly recovered after winding up at the rear of the field. He got into the top 15 briefly late in the race but could not sustain track position. Bell slid back to 17th as his Joe Gibbs Racing car just did not have enough speed in the end. At least on Sunday, […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAric Almirola a Big Question Mark on Sunday at Pocono
Aric Almirola had things set up well enough. He had a nice result in Nashville and started 11th on Saturday at Pocono. Naturally, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver then proceeds to fall out of the top 15 and ends up 16th. That has been how 2021 has mostly gone for Almirola. Being near the rear after […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRicky Stenhouse Jr. Dangerous Choice at Pocono
The one problem that Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has is definitely disciplined driving. If it is not a pit violation, there is a restart violation. That grounded his run just enough on Saturday to drop him out of the top ten. He finished a solid 15th but started seventh. The good thing is that the JTG […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoBubba Wallace Starts Seventh on Sunday at Pocono, Less DFS Upside
Bubba Wallace weathered some adversity after he plummeted from fourth at one point during the second stage. The 23XI Racing driver appeared consistent enough as he stayed in the top 15 for the most part. If Wallace can avoid costly mistakes like restart or pit speed violations, the No. 23 may have a chance to […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoDaniel Suarez Could Lurk Close to Top Ten on Sunday at Pocono
Daniel Suarez enjoyed a solid first stage and was in the top ten for a good while during stage number two. However, the TrackHouse Racing driver fell back just a bit but did not panic. The No. 99 car was able to gradually slide back up near the top ten by the end of the […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChase Elliott Easily Expects Top Ten Result at Pocono on Sunday
Chase Elliott was visibly agitated on Saturday. Though he improved from 29th to 12th, his Hendrick Motorsports Racing car never led a lap or came close. After the second stage, it appeared Elliott was in position but just could not capitalize on anything. He was briefly in the top ten but lost the groove twice […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoTyler Reddick Has Some Upside on Sunday at Pocono
Tyler Reddick looked solid most of the race on Saturday at Pocono. It was the final third of the race where he saw his greatest move position-wise. Reddick got into the top ten for a bit as well before settling for 11th. The Richard Childress Racing driver turned in a bunch of mid-54 second laps […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoBrad Keselowski May Meander Around Top Ten or So on Sunday at Pocono
Brad Keselowski never led any laps on Saturday and did not really contend near the top of the field much either. He was tenth after stage number two and that is exactly where he stayed after the final lap. The bad thing in a sense is that Keselowski will start 11th on Sunday. He did […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKevin Harvick Could Surprise and Might Win Sunday at Pocono
There were definitely times on Saturday where it looked like Kevin Harvick was viewing the 130-lap race as a dress rehearsal for Sunday's 140-lap version. He dropped positions every so often as the Stewart Haas Racing driver tried to find grooves, good air, etc. In general, Harvick was bobbing around the track looking for ways […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoJoey Logano Will Hang in Contention on Sunday at Pocono
Joey Logano led the second-most laps on Saturday at the 2.5-mile track. His 18 laps led was a little bit of a surprise. In general, the fact that the laps lead was so spread out was as well. The Team Penske driver just could not find the groove in the final laps and had to […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKurt Busch Go For Broke Style Good For Value Sunday at Pocono
Kurt Busch vaulted himself into the NASCAR playoff mix over the last month and continued to string together solid results with a sixth on Saturday at Pocono. Busch has enjoyed good results here in the past as the Chip Ganassi Racing driver not only led some laps but even battled younger brother Kyle on a […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRyan Blaney Drives Pocono Like a Race Course, On DFS Radar Sunday.
The inverted start gives Ryan Blaney a chance for place differential potential that is just not possible usually. He will start 16th in the second Pocono race on Sunday as the Stewart Haas Racing driver nabbed a top-five result on Saturday. Blaney finished the second stage in fifth and that is ultimately where he stayed. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoDenny Hamlin Keeps Points Lead, Likely Contender Sunday at Pocono
The Kyle Larson blown tire and subsequent wall slam saved Denny Hamlin's point lead for now but also bumped Hamlin up to fourth on Saturday. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver showed some consistency and a little restraint for a change. He ended up sixth after both stages and was near the front most of the […]
