RotoBaller PGA Expert Roundtable

Mayakoba Classic

The Expert Roundtable article is an attempt to get you inside the minds of our PGA DFS staff for every tournament.

Our four top golf writers - Joe Nicely, Spencer Aguiar, Josh Bennett, and Andrew Putters - will answer the same set of questions each week to give you an idea of how they are viewing the PGA DFS slate. Let's tee it up!

 

Who is your favorite DFS value play?

  • Joe Nicely: Wesley Bryan ($6.6k)
  • Spencer Aguiar: Wesley Bryan ($6,600), Chesson Hadley ($7,200) - RISKY, Maverick McNealy ($7,200)
  • Josh Bennett: Denny McCarthy (7,400)
  • Andrew Putters: Abe Ancer (9.9k)

 

Who is your favorite DFS “high priced” play?

  • Joe Nicely: JT ($11.4K)
  • Spencer Aguiar: Daniel Berger ($10,400)
  • Josh Bennett: Tony Finau (10,700)
  • Andrew Putters:  JT (11.4)

 

Who is your top GPP play?

  • Joe Nicely: Russell Henley ($9.3k) & Doug Ghim ($7.4k)
  • Spencer Aguiar: Brooks Koepka ($11,000) & Rickie Fowler ($9,500) are intriguing leverage plays. Russell Henley ($9,300) will be popular but checks all the boxes.
  • Josh Bennett: Tony Finau (10,700)
  • Andrew Putters: S Munoz (8.5k)

 

Who is your top Cash-Game play?

  • Joe Nicely: Abraham Ancer ($9.9k)
  • Spencer Aguiar: Abraham Ancer ($9,900)
  • Josh Bennett: Abe Ancer (9,900)
  • Andrew Putters: Brian Harman (8.5k)

 

Which popular golfer will you be “fading”?

  • Joe Nicely: Brooks Koepka ($11k)
  • Spencer Aguiar: Carlos Ortiz ($8,900), Keegan Bradley ($7,700)
  • Josh Bennett: Keegan Bradley (7,700)
  • Andrew Putters: Tony Finau (10.7)

 

What stands out as the most important stat for this golf course?

  • Joe Nicely: SG: Approach, Accuracy off the tee
  • Spencer Aguiar: Ball Striking Weighted Towards Accuracy
  • Josh Bennett: Ball Striking
  • Andrew Putters: Shots gained approach 

 

Who is your favorite DFS “dart throw”?

  • Joe Nicely: Peter Malnati ($7.3k), Camilo Villegas ($7k), Wes Bryan ($6.6k)
  • Spencer Aguiar: Chase Seiffert ($6,100), Cameron Percy ($6,400)
  • Josh Bennett: Cameron Percy (6,400)
  • Andrew Putters: Rickie Fowler (9.5k) 

 

What is your favorite bet of the week? (Any type)

  • Joe Nicely: Daniel Berger 18/1 & Corey Conners 30/1
  • Spencer Aguiar: Chesson Hadley T20 (+450)
  • Josh Bennett: Hovland 22-1
  • Andrew Putters: Piercy +100 over Bradley for the tournament. 

 

Make a “bold prediction” for this week:

  • Joe Nicely: Brian Harman goes 90% owned on FanDuel
  • Spencer Aguiar: Justin Thomas comes in bulked up for his fight in a few weeks against Charlie Woods. 
  • Josh Bennett: Kevin Stadler makes his first cut
  • Andrew Putters:  Ownership will be really spread out this week for the guys in the 7k-8k range.

 

Who is your favorite overall DFS golfer and why?

  • Joe Nicely: Russell Henley ($9.3k) - It feels as though he’s going overlooked for Ancer, despite the fact that he leads this field in SG: Approach over both long and short term measurements. 
  • Spencer Aguiar: Daniel Berger ($10,400) - Playability across the board. Reasonable ownership projections. More upside than the general public believes.  
  • Josh Bennett: Abraham Ancer (9,900) - its as solid of a play as you can get this week. A guy that will likely contend under 10k. Accurate, Ball striker, gamer, good history. He should be up there this week
  • Andrew Putters: S Muñoz (8.5k) is underpriced in this field. 

 

What is your optimal DFS lineup building strategy?

  • Joe Nicely: Two studs, mix & match $7k range
  • Spencer Aguiar: Any
  • Josh Bennett: Balanced
  • Andrew Putters: Balanced

 

Who is your pick to win the tournament?

  • Joe Nicely: Justin Thomas
  • Spencer Aguiar: Daniel Berger
  • Josh Bennett: Abraham Ancer
  • Andrew Putters: Daniel Berger
