2024 RSM Classic prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2024 RSM Classic with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The last official event of the season takes place this week in St. Simons Island, Ga., at the 2024 RSM Classic. It’s once again being hosted by Sea Island Golf Club, with the first round beginning on Thursday morning.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets for the 2024 RSM Classic from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

The No. 5 player in the world, Ludvig Aberg, is back to defend his title this week after winning the RSM Classic by 4 shots last year. He’s predictably the favorite to win again, coming in with pre-tournament odds of +1000. Davis Thompson (+2000), Seamus Power (+2800) and Si Woo Kim (+2800) are also among the favorites, as is former Open champion Brian Harman (+3000).

Sea Island Golf Club features 2 courses, both of which will be played this week. The Seaside Course is 7,005 yards and plays as a par 70, while the Plantation Course is 7,060 yards and is a par 72. Players will tee it up on each course in Rounds 1 and 2 before playing the Seaside Course on the weekend.

RSM Classic – Top-5 picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of PGA Tour odds. Lines last updated Tuesday at 6:54 p.m. ET.

Ben Griffin (+550)

Griffin enters the week in good form, finishing 22nd or better in each of his last 3 starts. Though he doesn’t have a top-5 in 2 starts in this event, he has played well here with finishes of eighth and 29th in his last 2 appearances.

Davis Thompson (+450)

Thompson’s ball-striking abilities were on display in his win at the John Deere Classic in July when he ran away from the field with a 4-shot victory. He could have a similarly impressive driving week at the RSM Classic, and his odds would be much shorter if not for Aberg being in the field.

RSM Classic – Top-10 picks

Harris English (+300)

English’s best finish in this event was a sixth-place showing in 2020, one of 4 top-30s in his last 9 starts at the RSM Classic. He already has 3 top-20 finishes in his last 3 starts this fall, including 2 top 10s.

Lucas Glover (+350)

Glover has come in the top 10 once here since 2015, a ninth-place finish that year to go along with another T-11 in 2018. He had been playing well in Bermuda last week before a final-round 6-over sunk his tournament chances, but that round was an outlier.

Justin Lower (+375)

Lower was also in the mix in Bermuda, finishing tied for fifth despite shooting 1-over on Sunday to slide down the leaderboard. He now has back-to-back top-5 finishes in his last 2 tournaments so it’s worth riding the hot hand.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

RSM Classic – Top-20 picks

Patrick Rodgers (+175)

Rodgers has 3 top-25 finishes in his last 4 starts this season, including a ninth-place in Bermuda last week. He has a good track record at Sea Island Golf Club with finishes of 10th and second since 2018.

Henrik Norlander (+350)

Norlander was the runner-up here in 2016 and also came in 5th in 2019, so his track record here has been good. He also has 2 top-30 finishes this fall, including an eighth-place finish.

RSM Classic – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

Davis Thompson (+125) vs. Ludvig Aberg (-155)

Aberg wouldn’t be playing in this event if he hadn’t won it last year. It’s his first PGA Tour start since the Tour Championship so some rust is to be expected, whereas a player like Thompson just finished fifth a month ago at the Shriners Children’s Open.

RSM Classic – Top Canadian

Mackenzie Hughes (+138)

Hughes has a slight edge in this market, coming in as the favorite over Adam Svensson (+188). Hughes has played 3 events this fall and made the cut in all of them, finishing fourth and eighth in 2 of those starts.

2024 RSM Classic odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the 2024 RSM Classic, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The PGA Tour will wrap up the FedExCup Fall portion of the schedule this week with the 2024 RSM Classic at Sea Island Golf Club in St. Simons Island, Georgia. The first round will begin on Thursday morning where Ludvig Aberg will try to defend his title.

Below, we look at RSM Classic odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Aberg is the headliner in the field, coming into the week with pre-tournament odds of +1000. Davis Thompson has the second-best odds (+2200), with 5 others tied at +2800 – including J.T. Poston and Seamus Power. Former Open champion Brian Harman (+3000) is also teeing it up in his home state this week.

This event will be played at 2 courses: the Seaside Course and Plantation Course. Neither is terribly long, with the Plantation Course playing at 7,060 yards and the Seaside at 7,005 yards. The Seaside Course is a links layout, while the Plantation Course is a more traditional layout with tree-lined fairways, waste areas and water hazards

RSM Classic – Expert picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of PGA Tour odds. Lines last updated Monday at 4:04 p.m. ET.

Harris English (+3000)

English has played this tournament in each of the last 9 years, making the cut 5 times with 4 top-30 finishes. His best finish was sixth in 2020 and he comes into the week having played well this fall with finishes of T-6, T-9 and T-14 in his last 3 starts.

Ben Griffin (+2800)

Griffin hasn’t finished worse than 22nd in his last 3 starts so he enters the week in good form. He’s fresh off a solo eighth at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, too, finishing only 6 shots off the champion at 19-under par. In his last 2 starts in this event, he’s come in 29th and 8th.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

RSM Classic picks – Contenders

Lucas Glover (+4500)

Glover feels like a good value at +4500. Since 2015, he has 3 top-25 finishes, including a ninth place in 2015 and 11th in 2018. Plus, he has 3 top-15 finishes in his last 6 starts this season. We might be getting a little bit of a discount, too, after he shot 6-over on Sunday in Bermuda to drop from 12-under, which would’ve been ninth, to 42nd.

Patrick Rodgers (+4000)

Rodgers shot 1-under in Sunday’s round in Bermuda to finish ninth, his second straight top-25 and third in his last 4 starts. In his last start at the RSM Classic, he finished 10th in 2022 and was the runner-up in 2018.

RSM Classic picks – Long shots

Henrik Norlander (+10000)

Norlander has started in this event 8 times in the last 9 years with his best finish being a runner-up in 2016. He also came in fifth in 2019, so he has some experience at Sea Island Golf Club. His play has tapered off a little bit as the fall has progressed, but he did come in 8th in the Black Desert Championship and 30th in the World Wide Technology Championship.

2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

There are only 2 tournaments left in the FedExCup Fall, with this week’s 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship being the penultimate event. The field may not be full of stars, but there’s a lot on the line for those trying to rise up the FedExCup Fall rankings before the 2025 season. The first round from Port Royal Golf Course in Bermuda begins on Thursday.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets for the Butterfield Bermuda Championship from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

The tournament favorite this week is Seamus Power at +1400. Mackenzie Hughes (+1600), Ben Griffin (+1800) and Maverick McNealy (+1800) are among the other players at the top of the board, while defending champion Camilo Villegas is a long shot at +30000.

Port Royal Golf Course is a seaside track that plays at only 6,828 yards, making it one of the shortest courses on the PGA Tour schedule. However, winds can (and probably will) play a big role in making several holes longer and more difficult. It will once again play as a par 71 this week.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Top-5 picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of PGA Tour odds. Lines last updated Tuesday at 4:47 p.m. ET.

Matti Schmid (+500)

Schmid finished third in this event last year, just his second start in the Butterfield. As for his recent form, he has finishes of 16th, fifth and third in 3 of his last 4 starts this season, so he’s playing well coming into the week.

Justin Lower (+450)

In 3 career starts in this event, Lower has come in 17th, eighth and 20th. He doesn’t have a top-5 finish, but he could be poised to make a run at the title in Bermuda this week.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Top-10 picks

Nico Echavarria (+250)

Echavarria is coming off a T-6 finish in Mexico last week after he won the Zozo Championship the tournament before. He’s in as good a form as anyone in the field and the wind in Bermuda may not bother him much, as he’s shown in the past.

Daniel Berger (+300)

Berger tied for 20th last week in Mexico, another strong showing from the 31-year-old American. Even though this will be his first start in the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, he’s playing well enough to warrant a bet this week.

Brendon Todd (+375)

Todd is a shorter hitter but that isn’t as much of a detriment this week at Port Royal, which doesn’t necessarily favor longer drivers. He won this tournament in 2021 and came in 20th last year.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Top-20 picks

Vince Whaley (+200)

Whaley is 2-for-3 in top-20 finishes in this event, coming in seventh and eighth in his last 2 starts here. All we need in this bet is a top 20, which he’s had in 2 of his last 4 starts this season.

Greyson Sigg (+160)

In his last 4 starts, Sigg has gone fourth, MC, 11th and 23rd, so he’s playing well at the moment. Add in the fact he’s finished 11th and 22nd in 2 career starts at this course and he’s someone to back in Bermuda.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

Justin Lower (-105) vs. Sam Stevens (-120)

We’ve already gone over the reasons to like Lower this week, and though Stevens hasn’t finished worse than 23rd in his last 3 starts this fall, he also missed the cut in his only appearance in this event.

Patrick Rodgers (+115) vs. Doug Ghim (-145)

The gap between Ghim and Rodgers should not be this big, especially considering Ghim has missed the cut in the last 2 years here. Rodgers, meanwhile, has come in third and fourth in his last 2 starts in this event.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Top South American

Nico Echavarria (+125)

Only Jhonatton Vegas (+160) is close to Echavarria in this market, with the other 2 South American players being +500 (Alejandro Tosti) and Camilo Villegas (+800). Echavarria played well at another seaside course last week in Mexico, finishing T-6, and he could pull it off again this week.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Top European

Matti Schmid (+350)

Schmid has the second-best odds to be the top European player at the end of the week, with only Power having shorter odds at +200. Schmid finished third here last year and has showings of third and fifth in 2 of his last 3 starts this season, so he’s in good form.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – First-round leader

Matti Schmid (+4000)

Schmid shot 64 in the opening round last year to grab a tie for sixth, getting off to a great start in Bermuda. He could do the same again this week, especially with the way he’s been playing lately.

2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The penultimate event of the FedExCup Fall will take place this week at the 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship. Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda, will once again play host to this event, which joined the PGA Tour schedule in 2019.

Below, we look at Butterfield Bermuda Championship odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Seamus Power enters the week as the betting favorite with pre-tournament odds of +1400, followed closely by Mackenzie Hughes (+1600), Ben Griffin (+1800) and Maverick McNealy (+1800). Defending champion Camilo Villegas is a long shot to repeat as the winner in Bermuda at +30000. Power won this event in 2022, but didn’t tee it up last year.

Port Royal is a shorter course, playing at just 6,828 yards as a par 71. It’s a seaside course and the longest on the island of Bermuda, bringing into play some challenging weather conditions if the wind picks up during the tournament. The winning score last year was 24-under par after Power won at 19-under in 2022.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship – Expert picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of PGA Tour odds. Lines last updated Monday at 2 p.m. ET.

Justin Lower (+2500)

Lower has 3 straight top-20 finishes in this event, coming in 20th last year, 8th in 2022 and 17th in 2021. He’s also coming off a terrific showing in the World Wide Technology Championship last week, finishing tied for second thanks to rounds of 63 and 65 on the weekend.

Daniel Berger (+3300)

We’re backing Berger again this week after he tied for 20th last week, continuing to regain his form this fall. He’s never played this event, but he’s playing well at the moment and has reasonable odds at +3300.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Butterfield Bermuda Championship picks – Contenders

Brendon Todd (+5000)

If it’s a short course, it’s worth backing Todd. He’s deadly accurate with his driver and is a good ball-striker from the fairway, which is what helped him win here in 2019 and come in 20th last year.

Vince Whaley (+5500)

Whaley finished T-55 last week in Mexico but he came in 16th in his previous start at the Shriners Children’s Open. After missing the cut in this event in 2020, he’s come in seventh (2021) and eighth (2023) in his last 2 starts here.

Butterfield Bermuda Championship picks – Long shots

Ryan Moore (+10000)

Moore will always be a long shot at this point in his career, but he’s worth betting in select events – like this one, where he finished fifth a year ago.

Brandon Wu (+10000)

Wu shot 3-under on Sunday to finish T-30 at the World Wide Technology Championship, his second-best finish of the fall (T-13 at the Procore Championship). In 3 career starts here in the last 3 years, he’s finished 30th, 35th and 34th.

2024 World Wide Technology Championship odds, picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the golf odds to win the 2024 World Wide Technology Championship, with PGA Tour picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

After a week off, the PGA Tour returns for the 2024 World Wide Technology Championship, which begins on Thursday. El Cardonal at Diamante in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, will host this event for the second straight year.

Below, we look at World Wide Technology Championship odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

El Cardonal at Diamante is a Tiger Woods-designed course, which opened in 2014 and challenges players with steep elevation changes. It’s situated along the Pacific Ocean, giving spectacular views throughout the course. Erik van Rooyen won this event last year with a score of 27-under par, 2 shots clear of Matt Kuchar and Camilo Villegas.

This year, Max Greyserman is the tournament favorite with odds of +1400, followed by Cameron Young (+2000) and Doug Ghim (+2200). van Rooyen is +3300 to defend his title and win the event for a second straight year.

World Wide Technology Championship – Expert picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of PGA Tour odds. Lines last updated Monday at 10:36 p.m. ET.

Beau Hossler (+2500)

Hossler has played well this fall, finishing in the top 11 twice and also coming in 23rd at the Shriners Children’s Open. In this event last year, he finished tied for 15th and had 3 rounds under 70 – including a final-round 65.

Cameron Young (+2000)

Young has yet to win on the PGA Tour, but this is the type of event that could lead to a breakthrough. It’s a weaker field and is played at a course with wide fairways, so he can play it aggressively without much penalty for errant tee shots. He finished 54th here last year.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

World Wide Technology Championship picks – Contenders

Daniel Berger (+5000)

Berger appears to be rounding into better form after his absence due to injury, finishing 39th or better in each of his last 3 starts, including a 7th-place finish at the Sanderson Farms Championship.

Nate Lashley (+5000)

Lashley tied for 10th here last year and has gotten progressively better this fall, coming in 55th, 61st, 29th and 16th in his last 4 starts. Combining his recent form and a top-10 finish in this event last year makes him a good pick.

WATCH: PGA Tour is live on ESPN+! Get ESPN+

World Wide Technology Championship picks – Long shots

Chesson Hadley (+10000)

Hadley notched a top-10 here last year with a T-7 at Tiger’s course. He’s struggled all year, but he has made 3 of his last 4 cuts.

2024 ZOZO Championship prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2024 ZOZO Championship with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The PGA Tour is in Japan this week for the 2024 ZOZO Championship. Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club is hosting this event once again, the 5th time since 2019 (it wasn’t played in 2020). The 1st round begins on Thursday morning in Japan.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets for the ZOZO Championship from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Xander Schauffele is the headliner in the field this week, coming in with pre-tournament odds of +450 to win. Collin Morikawa, who won this event last year, has the 2nd-best odds at +700. Hideki Matsuyama is +800 to win in his home country this week, just as he did in 2021.

Accordia Golf Narashino CC will play as a par 70 and is only 7,079 yards long, so distance off the tee won’t be a major advantage this week. It’s also a traditional parkland course with trees lining fairways, forcing players to position themselves properly in the fairway.

ZOZO Championship – Top-5 picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of PGA Tour odds. Lines last updated Tuesday at 4:56 p.m. ET.

Kurt Kitayama (+400)

Kitayama has been excellent when it comes to ball-striking this season, ranking 11th on tour in SG: tee-to-green. At a course that emphasizes ball-striking and accuracy over distance, he should be a good fit; he’s finished 16th and 29th in 2 appearances here.

Sahith Theegala (+333)

Theegala already has 1 top-5 finish in this event, coming in 5th in 2022 before finishing 19th last year. In his lone start this fall, he came in 7th at the Procore Championship.

ZOZO Championship – Top-10 picks

Beau Hossler (+275)

Hossler was the runner-up last year and came in 16th the year prior, so he’s familiar with the layout of Accordia Golf Narashino CC. He’s also come in 2nd, 11th and 23rd in his last 3 starts this season.

Tom Hoge (+350)

Hoge is a terrific iron player, which has led to 2 top-20 finishes in this event before, including a 9th-place finish in 2022.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

ZOZO Championship – Top-20 picks

Gary Woodland (+130)

Woodland hasn’t played this event since 2019 but that year, he came in 5th. He’s worked his way back into form following a medical absence, coming in 16th and 9th in his last 2 starts this season.

J.J. Spaun (+125)

Spaun has come in the top 25 in each of his 2 career starts in this event, headlined by a T-6 last year. He’s been busy this fall, playing 4 events (with 1 WD), finishing in the top 35 in each of his last 2.

Ryo Hisatsune (+230)

Hisatsune has improved in each of his last 2 starts in this event, going from 52nd in 2021 to 12th in 2022 and 6th last year. In his most recent start this fall, he tied for 25th at the Black Desert Championship.

WATCH: PGA Tour is live on ESPN+! Get ESPN+

ZOZO Championship – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

Gary Woodland (-110) vs. Patrick Rodgers (-110)

Back to the well with Woodland here against Rodgers given his recent form and course history. Rodgers has played this event once and finished 16th, which was in 2022.

ZOZO Championship – Top Brit and Irish

Seamus Power (+120)

Power has to beat out Harry Hall and David Skinns in this market. He missed the cut at the Shriners Children’s Open, but he tied for 11th in the Black Desert Championship 2 weeks ago.

ZOZO Championship – First-round leader

Xander Schauffele (+1200)

Schauffele is tied for 2nd in Round 1 scoring average in 2024 and having played this course in each of the last 4 years, he should be familiar with the layout.

Beau Hossler (+3300)

Hossler shot 68 here last year and was just 4 shots off the pace after the 1st round and he now ranks 6th in Round 1 scoring average this season.

2024 Shriners Children’s Open prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2024 Shriners Children’s Open with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The PGA Tour heads from Utah to Las Vegas for the 2024 Shriners Children’s Open this week, the latest event on the FedExCup Fall schedule. TPC Summerlin is hosting again, giving players and fans spectacular views of the mountains all week long. Play begins Thursday.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets for the 2024 Shriners Children’s Open from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

Tom Kim is going for his 3rd straight win at the Shriners Children’s Open after winning it the last 2 years. He’s the favorite once again with pre-tournament odds of +1200. Taylor Pendrith has the 2nd-best odds at +2200, followed by Davis Thompson at +2500.

TPC Summerlin is a par 71 and will play at 7,255 yards this week. It’s a course that typically yields very low scores each year, giving players ample scoring opportunities. The winning score has been between 20-under and 24-under in 12 of the last 14 years, including each of the last 6 years.

Shriners Children’s Open – Top-5 picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of PGA Tour odds. Lines last updated Tuesday at 3:35 p.m. ET.

Tom Kim (+275)

Kim has won this event in each of the last 2 years so his odds are understandably short, but he’s still worth playing for a top-5. He’s a couple of weeks removed from the emotional Presidents Cup in Canada and is unquestionably the most talented player in the field.

Cam Davis (+650)

Inaccuracy off the tee isn’t penalized as much as usual this week at TPC Summerlin, which works in Davis’ favor. He’s made the cut 5 straight times in this event and finished 7th a year ago.

WATCH: PGA Tour is live on ESPN+! Get ESPN+

Shriners Children’s Open – Top-10 picks

Adam Hadwin (+320)

Hadwin already has 4 top-10 finishes in the last 5 years here, yet you can still get him at +320 for another top 10 this week. Even though he hasn’t played a PGA Tour event since August, he’s worth playing at this number for another top-10 finish.

Tom Hoge (+320)

Hoge is as good an iron player as there is on tour, making him a good fit for TPC Summerlin. He finished 4th, 14th and 24th in his previous 3 starts in this event before missing the cut in 2023, so the course history is absolutely there for him.

J.T. Poston (+350)

Poston has finished 3rd and 20th in his last 2 starts at the Shriners Children’s Open. With the scores being as low as they’re expected to be again this week, his putter will give him an advantage because of how easy the course is likely to play from tee to green.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Shriners Children’s Open – Top-20 picks

Taylor Pendrith (+110)

Pendrith has played this event just 3 times, all since 2021, and his best finish was 3rd last year. He finished the 2024 season on fire with 5 straight top-22 finishes, including a T-14 at the Tour Championship. He also played in the Presidents Cup so he’s stayed in form despite not teeing it up on tour since September.

Henrik Norlander (+300)

Norlander is fresh off an 8th-place finish at the Black Desert Championship in Utah last week after finishing 28th at the Sanderson Farms Championship the week prior, so he’s had a strong fall thus far.

Matt NeSmith (+375)

NeSmith is a horse for TPC Summerlin, finishing 42nd, 2nd, 14th, 8th and 18th in his 5 career starts here. That’s 4 straight top-20 finishes, yet he’s still +275 to make it 5 in 6 years. Despite 3 missed cuts in his last 4 starts this season, NeSmith is still a good long-shot play.

Shriners Children’s Open – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

Beau Hossler (-105) vs. Kurt Kitayama (-120)

It’s surprising to see Kitayama as the favorite here considering he’s played this event 3 times and missed the cut each time. Hossler, on the other hand, hasn’t missed the cut in 6 appearances and has come in the top 10 twice, including a 7th-place finish last year.

Adam Hadwin (-105) vs. Eric Cole (-120)

Cole missed the cut in 2022 before finishing 3rd in 2023, so while his course history is limited, he did play well last year. Hadwin has had more success here than just about any player in the field and shouldn’t be an underdog in this matchup.

Shriners Children’s Open – Top Asian

Tom Kim (+125)

Kim is the most talented player in the field this week and a two-time defending champion of the Shriners Children’s Open. He’s obviously the favorite in this market, with Kevin Yu being the next-closest player at +500. Kim has a good chance to win again this week and even if he doesn’t finish 1st, he should be the top Asian player on the leaderboard.

Shriners Children’s Open – First-round leader

J.T. Poston (+5500)

Poston opened with a 63 last year, 1 shot off the pace set by Hossler in Round 1. He also shot 67 in 2022 when he finished 20th, so he’s gotten off to good starts in each of the last 2 years.

Cam Davis (+5000)

Davis has shot 67 in each of the last 2 years in this event and he’s a player who can get hot in a hurry on the course if the driver is working.

WNBA Finals: Minnesota Lynx at New York Liberty Game 2 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Minnesota Lynx at New York Liberty Game 2 odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Minnesota Lynx and the New York Liberty meet Sunday for Game 2 of the best-of-5 WNBA Finals. Tip-off from Barclays Center is set for 3 p.m. ET (ABC). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s WNBA odds around the Lynx vs. Liberty odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Series record: Lynx lead 1-0

The Lynx stunned the Liberty with a 95-93 overtime victory Thursday. The Lynx entered the game as 6-point dogs, but they chipped away all game. After falling down 32-19 in the 1st quarter, the Lynx became the first team in WNBA playoff history to be down 15 in the final 5 minutes and win the game. F Napheesa Collier hit a turnaround jumper with 8 seconds left in OT to secure the W. Collier had 21 points and 8 boards in the game.

The Liberty shot just 38% from the floor in Game 1. Their struggles were highlighted by G Sabrina Ionescu shooting 8-for-26 from the floor. C Jonquel Jones had team-highs of 24 points and 10 boards. F Breanna Stewart added 18 points and 9 boards.

  • Moneyline (ML): Lynx +260 (bet $100 to win $260) | Liberty -350 (bet $350 to win $100)
  • Against the spread (ATS): Lynx +7.5 (-110) | Liberty -7.5 (-110)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 162.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Lynx at Liberty picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 85, Lynx 79

Moneyline

I fully look for the Liberty to exact some revenge here, but there is no way we’re risking -350 on it.

Instead, let’s go with SABRINA IONESCU OVER 2.5 THREE-POINTERS (-135). We highlighted her shooting woes in Game 1, and she still drilled three 3s.

Against the spread

These have teams faced off 5 times this year, and Minnesota covered in 4 of those. The spreads ranged from 5.5 to 7. We’re catching an extra halfer here.

So take LYNX +7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Over has cashed in 3 of the last 4 meetings. The Lynx are 7-3 O/U in their last 10. The Liberty are 6-4. This total has risen 2 points from Game 1, but I still think that’s well within range to cash an OVER 162.5 (-115).

2024 Black Desert Championship prop bet picks and PGA Tour predictions

Analyzing the odds for the 2024 Black Desert Championship with PGA Tour picks and predictions for the top prop bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Utah is hosting a PGA Tour event for the first time since 1963 as the inaugural playing of the 2024 Black Desert Championship takes place this week. It’s being held at Black Desert Resort in Ivins, Utah., with the 1st round beginning on Thursday morning.

Below, we search for the best value prop bets for the 2024 Black Desert Championship from BetMGM Sportsbook’s PGA Tour odds and make our PGA Tour picks and predictions.

As a FedExCup Fall event, the field is a bit weaker but it’s still led by Keith Mitchell (+1600), Seamus Power (+2200) and Beau Hossler (+2800). Lucas Glover (+3300) and Kurt Kitayama (+2800) are among the other notables teeing it up in Utah.

Black Desert Resort is a new course, opening fully to the public in 2023. That means the majority of the players in the field have never seen the venue before, making it a learning experience for everyone playing. It features wide fairways and the course is carved through lava rock with views of the red rock mountains on the horizon.

Black Desert Championship – Top-5 picks

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of PGA Tour odds. Lines last updated Tuesday at 8:14 p.m. ET.

Beau Hossler (+550)

Hossler has finished 2nd, MC and 12th in his last 3 starts this season, losing in a playoff on Sunday at the Sanderson Farms Championship. He was 7th in the field in strokes gained: tee-to-green so his ball striking should be in good form heading to Utah.

Seamus Power (+450)

Power has finished no worse than 28th in his last 4 worldwide starts, including a T-11 last week at the Sanderson Farms Championship. He needs his putter to cooperate in Utah if he’s going to contend again because it was only average (35th in SG) last week.

Black Desert Championship – Top-10 picks

Michael Thorbjornsen (+275)

Thorbjornsen came in 8th at the Sanderson Farms Championship, an impressive finish for the PGA Tour rookie. He was excellent off the tee last week, ranking second in strokes gained, and his putting was impressive, too (7th).

Patrick Fishburn (+275)

Fishburn is from Ogden, Utah, and played at BYU, so he should be familiar with the conditions and type of grass at Black Desert Resort. That could give him a slight advantage at a course that not many people have seen before. And his length off the tee (8th in SG) will give him an edge.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Black Desert Championship – Top-20 picks

Doug Ghim (+188)

Ghim has been one of the best ball strikers all year, ranking 12th in SG: tee-to-green. He’s not a long hitter but he keeps the ball in the fairway (12th in driving accuracy), so he shouldn’t find much trouble off the tee.

Austin Smotherman (+400)

Smotherman is a long shot coming into the week, but he just finished 42nd last week despite ranking 67th in SG: putting. He came in 7th at the Procore Championship and has made 7 straight cuts this season.

Black Desert Championship – Matchups

Suggested play is golfer in bold.

Seamus Power (+105) vs. Keith Mitchell (-135)

Power and Mitchell should be seen as comparable contenders this week so getting him as an underdog makes him a good value, even against a guy whose ball striking is as good as Mitchell’s.

Black Desert Championship – Top Brit and Irish

Seamus Power (+138)

Back to Power here as the top British and Irish player in the field. He has the shortest odds, and understandably so. Harry Hall is the next-closest contender at +275, the only other player with odds shorter than +500.

Black Desert Championship – First-round leader

Patrick Fishburn (+4000)

Fishburn is long off the tee and is from Utah, so in an event at a course that’s never been on the PGA Tour schedule before now, he could have an early advantage until the rest of the field catches up.

Bears vs Panthers Odds & Betting Preview

The Bears brought Caleb Williams in to improve their passing game, but Chicago went with a ground-heavy approach versus a banged-up Rams defense in Week 4. D’Andre Swift racked up 93 rushing yards and added 72 receiving yards to lead the way, while the defense added three sacks and an interception. Combine that with Chicago not turning the ball over and it led to a 24-18 Bears victory that covered the point spread at NFL betting apps.

The NFL odds for the Panthers Week 4 game against Cincinnati recognized how much better this team is with Andy Dalton at quarterback, as Carolina was only a four-point underdog. The Panthers went toe-to-toe with the Bengals for most of the first half, tying the score at 14 late in the second quarter on a touchdown catch by Xavier Legette, but Cincinnati’s talent advantage proved to be too much, and the Bengals prevailed 34-24.

Home-field advantage is one reason that the Bears opened as a favorite in this matchup, as Chicago began the week at -4 points. These teams do have a lot of offensive talent, but that didn’t keep the total points number from starting at 42.5. You can bet on either side of these numbers once you create a new account with the best Bears vs Panthers betting promos.
