RotoBaller PGA Expert Roundtable

The Masters

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: Cam Smith ($7.3k)
• Spencer Aguiar: Abraham Ancer ($7,400), Cameron Smith ($7,300), Lee Westwood ($7,200), Hideki Matsuyama ($8,700)
• Josh Bennett: Lee Westwood (7,200)
• Andrew Putters: Francesco Molinari (6,700)

Who is your favorite DFS “high priced” play?

• Joe Nicely: Bryson DeChambeau ($11.2k) & DJ (10K)
• Spencer Aguiar: Bryson DeChambeau ($11,200), Jon Rahm ($10,500)
• Josh Bennett: Bryson DeChambeau (11,200)
• Andrew Putters:  Dustin Johnson (10,000)

Who is your top GPP play?

• Joe Nicely: Brooks Koepka ($9.7k) & Bubba Watson ($9k)
• Spencer Aguiar: Bryson DeChambeau ($11,200), Jon Rahm ($10,500) - If we want to get not so straightforward with the answer, I will have more of Patrick Reed, Jason Day and Adam Scott than the general public. 
• Josh Bennett: Brooks Koepka (9,700)
• Andrew Putters: BUBBA (9,000)

Who is your top Cash-Game play?

• Joe Nicely: Tony Finau ($8.8k)
• Spencer Aguiar: Tony Finau ($8,800)
• Josh Bennett: Tony Finau (8,800)
• Andrew Putters: Tony Finau (8,800)

Which popular golfer will you be “fading”?

• Joe Nicely: Tyrrell Hatton ($9.4k) & Patrick Reed ($9.2k), Scottie Scheffler ($7.8k)
• Spencer Aguiar: Zach Johnson ($6,800) - Nothing about a 10 percent owned Zach Johnson sounds good to me. I also will have none of Tyrrell Hatton ($9,400), Brooks Koepka ($9,700) or Tiger Woods ($9,100)
• Josh Bennett: Scottie Scheffler ( 7,800)
• Andrew Putters: Brooks Koepka (9,700) Injuries still unknown 

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

• Joe Nicely: Course History, SG: OTT, Par-5 Birdie or Better
• Spencer Aguiar: Strokes Gained Off the Tee, Par-Five Birdie or Better 
• Josh Bennett: SG OTT
• Andrew Putters: without a doubt course history 

Who is your favorite DFS “dart throw”?

• Joe Nicely: Jordan Spieth ($8.2k) - I mean...it says dart throw right?
• Spencer Aguiar: Francesco Molinari ($6,700), Erik Van Rooyen ($6,900), Bernd Wiesberger ($6,900), Sebastian Munoz ($6,700), J.T. Poston ($6,300), Charl Schwartzel $6,500), Corey Conners ($6,600), Byeong Hun An ($6,700). The list goes on and on. There are a lot of good sub-$7,000 longshots that can be added to fill out your stars-and-scrubs lineups. 
• Josh Bennett: Adam Hadwin (6,500)
• Andrew Putters: Justin Harding (6,300)

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

• Joe Nicely: Jason Day Outright (40/1), Bubba Watson FRL (40/1)
• Spencer Aguiar: Matthew Wolff -110 over Tommy Fleetwood
• Josh Bennett: Adam Scott (45/1)
• Andrew Putters: DJ T10 +110

Make a “bold prediction” for this week:

• Joe Nicely: All five players that are $10k and up on DraftKings finish inside the Top-10
• Spencer Aguiar: After a slow start, Bryson DeChambeau storms the leaderboard on Sunday to force a playoff.
• Josh Bennett: Vijay top 10s
• Andrew Putters:  8 of the T10 will be Vets

Who is your favorite overall DFS golfer and why?

• Joe Nicely: Dustin Johnson ($10k) - The price is great, as is his form and Masters track record. 
• Spencer Aguiar: Flip a coin between Jon Rahm and Bryson Dechambeau. Without the hype around DeChambeau, a strong case could be made for Rahm being the favorite. 
• Josh Bennett: Tony Finau (8,800) - plays really good here, and very underpriced. You can pair him with anyone in the field and have a crazy good duo. No win equity, but wouldn't surprise me if this was the place he broke through on
• Andrew Putters: DJ (10,000) I like his recent form. Smells like another win is coming. 

What is your optimal DFS lineup building strategy?

• Joe Nicely: Stars & Scrubs lean
• Spencer Aguiar: Stars & Scrubs - The $10,000 range is STRONG. I don’t have too many gripes with grabbing any two and going from there. 
• Josh Bennett: Balanced
• Andrew Putters: Need 2 guys from 9-10k range and work your way down

Who is your pick to win the tournament?

• Joe Nicely: Dustin Johnson
• Spencer Aguiar: Jon Rahm
• Josh Bennett: Bryson DeChambeau
• Andrew Putters: Dustin Johnson
