Wyndham Championship – Preview & Picks

Congrats to all Lee Hodges backers last week at the 3M Open. He entered the final round with a massive lead and never faltered going on to win the event by 7 strokes!

We head to the final event of the FedEx Cup regular season, the Wyndham Championship.

Let’s get into this week’s storylines…

Tom Kim became the first player born in the 2000s to win a PGA TOUR event last year at the Wyndham Championship. In addition to that, he’s also the youngest player to have ever won this event. Kim started off the tournament with a quadruple bogey and rallied to win, also the first player in PGA Tour history to have accomplished that feat. He enters this event in great form having finished inside the top 10 in each of his past two starts.

The Wyndham Champion concludes the FedEx Cup Regular season. Next week, the three-event FedEx Cup Playoffs will begin at TPC Southwind. The top 70 players advance to next week’s event, the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Last year, the top 75 advanced so it will be a critical week for some of those players on the cut line.

A few of those players just outside the top 70 include Ben Griffin (No. 71), Cam Davis (No. 72), K.H. Lee (No. 73), S.H. Kim (No. 74), and Justin Thomas (No. 79).

Ryder Cup captains Luke Donald and Zach Johnson, are also in the field this week.

Course/ Tournament History:

The Wyndham Championship was founded in 1938 as the Greater Greensboro Open. It is the seventh oldest tournament on the PGA Tour excluding Major Championships. In 2007 the title sponsor changed, and the event was renamed to what it’s currently called. Along with the name change, the tournament was also moved from autumn to mid-August.

This tournament has been held in the greater Greensboro area throughout its entire history. In the first four years of the event, it was played at both Sedgefield Country Club and Starmount Forest Country Club. From 1977 – 2007, the tournament was held at Forest Oaks. However, since then, the Wyndham Champion has taken place at Sedgefield Country Club.

In 2018, Brandt Snedeker posted a 59 in the first round. This was just the tenth sub-60 round in the history of the PGA Tour.

In 2021, Kevin Kisner won the six-man playoff which tied the PGA Tour record for the largest number of participants in a sudden-death playoff.

Course Guide/ Scorecard:

Sedgefield Country Club is one of the easier courses on Tour as seen by the historical scoring average. Based on that, we should see another winner around -20 this week. Driving accuracy will be placed at a premium this week given the fact that the bermuda rough can force players to lay up based on their lie.

Sedgefield Country Club is on the shorter side measuring 7,131 yards. It ranks 20th out of 46 courses in terms of length. The fairways are on the narrower side, ranking 9th of 46, with the average fairway width being 28.9 yards. The average green size is roughly 6,000 square feet which is on the smaller side when compared to the other courses on the PGA Tour. There are 52 bunkers which ranks as the 7th fewest out of the 46 courses.

The four Par 3’s at Sedgefield range from 174 to 235 yards. Last year, holes No. 3., No. 7, and No. 16 had a scoring average under par. The lone other par 3s, No. 12 had a scoring average of 0.135 above par.

No. 3, 174 yards, Par 3: “This mid-length par three hole is generally played into the prevailing wind and contains three of the deepest bunkers on the course, short and right. The large, somewhat subtle green narrows the deeper into the green one plays. Long and left is a very difficult up and down, with the green sloping away from the player.”

No. 7, 223 yards, Par 3: “On this long par three, the green is guarded on three sides by a deep creek and features a soft punch bowl green with very difficult hole locations in the corners. Par is a great score on this demanding hole.”

No. 12, 235 yards, Par 3: “The longest par three on the course will require a very precise approach into a dramatic two-tier green cut into the face of a hill. Anything short will roll well back from the green and require a difficult up and down. Dead center of this green is the preferred line and will give the player the best chance of escaping with a par or occasional birdie.”

No. 16, 175 yards, Par 3: “This short par three will provide the player an opportunity to be aggressive. However, the horseshoe-shaped green will wreak havoc on misplayed tee shots and chips from around the green. Two four-foot-deep pot bunkers guarding the green require a demanding short iron approach.”

There are twelve Par 4’s at Sedgefield with the majority (eight) of them ranging between 400 and 450 yards. The two toughest holes are No. 14 and No. 18, which both play over 500 yards. In terms of scoring average, the two toughest Par 4’s last year were No. 11 (+0.235) and No. 14 (+0.258).

No. 2, 442 yards, Par 4: “One of the best holes ever designed by Donald Ross. The tee shot will require a slight fade over the middle of three diagonal cross bunkers to set up the shortest and best line into a green that’s well-protected on the right by a creek. Approach shots should favor the left side of the green, which leans hard right toward the creek.”

No. 11, 486 yards, Par 4: “The proper line for this tee shot is the bunker seen in the distance short and right of the green. The severely canted fairway will kick a right-to-left tee shot into the left-hand rough. The approach shot into this green is deceptive and can be bounced in by landing a long to middle iron just over the approach bunker 25 yards short and right of the green.”

No. 14, 505 yards, Par 4: “This very difficult and demanding long par four requires a right-to-left tee shot over the fairway bunker at 275 yards. Two center-line bunkers create a deceptive approach into this “skyline” green. The green is the largest on the course and probably one of the most difficult to putt due to its severe slope from back right to front left.”

No. 17, 406 yards, Par 4: “One of the most beautiful holes in North Carolina. This deep, saddled fairway meanders up an old creek bed filled in by Ross. A short iron approach into the smallest green on the course is compounded by the difficulty of finding a level lie in the fairway. A natural amphitheater surrounds the green, making it
a great place to view an exciting finish.”

The two Par 5’s on the course, No. 5 and No. 15, are where players need to take advantage of scoring opportunities. These holes both played under par last year with just seventeen bogeys being made on No. 5 throughout the entire tournament.

No. 5, 529 yards, Par 5: “The first par five of the course is easily reachable in two shots. However, a deep hollow running diagonally across the putting surface will make getting up and down for birdie a challenge. The key to this hole is finding a level lie in the well-undulating fairway. Any shot hit short of this green will roll well back down the fairway.”

No. 15, 545 yards, Par 5: “The ideal tee shot to this reachable par five is directly at the fairway bunker. The downhill tee shot must avoid the “sheeps” fescue grass to the right and just over the bunker. Deep bunkers surround this undulating green. The far back right corner pin is the most difficult location, especially if going for the green in two.”

Key Statistics:

 

The Field/ Odds:

There will be 156 players competing in this year’s Wyndham Championship. The Wyndham Championship has eight sponsor exemptions, and the top four finishers in the qualifying tournament. Only four of the world’s top-thirty players are in the field. Here are the current favorites in this week’s event:

Sungjae Im (+1600), enters the week off a top-20 finish at the Open Championship. He has yet to win on the PGA Tour this season but has won on the Korean Tour at the Woori Financial Group Championship. Im has some strong course history at Sedgefield Country Club finishing T2, T24, T9, and T6 in his four appearances here.

Hideki Matsuyama (+1800), has three top 10 finishes in his last five starts. He hasn’t played all that much on the PGA Tour this season due to an injury. In terms of course history, Hideki has missed the cut in his last two starts at the Wyndham Championship. His best finish at Sedgefield Country Club was T3 back in 2016.

Sam Burns (+2000), lone win on the PGA Tour was at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play when he defeated Cameron Young. However, he hasn’t been playing great as of late missing the cut in two of his last four starts. Burns has only played in this tournament once before finishing T13 in 2020.

Adam Scott (+2200), has played in this event five times before with his best finish coming in 2021 (T2). Outside of that, he hasn’t finished inside the top 60. In his most recent start, he finished T33 at the Open Championship. He currently ranks 80th in the FedEx Cup so he’ll need to have a solid week if he hopes to play in the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Shane Lowry (+2200), struggled at the Open Championship missing the cut. However, before that, he had three consecutive top-20 finishes. Lowry will make his sixth appearance at the Wyndham Championship with his best finish coming in 2017 (T7).

NFL Preseason Coaching Records For 2023 – Sports Investing

NFL Preseason Football is right around the corner and coming in hot!  It is pretty well known that betting preseason football is quite a bit different than during regular season football due to coaching changes, preseason goals, shorter pre-season, quarterback changes, new coordinators, and maybe the most important factors in motivation.  Coaching philosophy is the single most important factor when handicapping pre-season football and it is imperative that we know what some of these coaches did in the past to try and accurately predict the future.

Since the 2019 NFL football season, there have been a lot of coaching changes, and less preseason games due to Covid in 2020/2021, so many of the coaches this year do not have as many data points.  My philosophy for betting games with coaches that have limited data is to stay away in general with a potential exception in the first week where new coaches in general sometimes want to start their season out on a positive note with a win.   This is not a hard rule, because some coaches do not care, but it is best to try to avoid fading them unless they are playing against one of the bulls that we will discuss.

Getting back to the most important aspect for handicapping the NFL preseason, it is great to have the data on these coaches.  It is also important to understand that we need a good sample size to start making determinations on what these coaches are more prone to do.  I personally have to have at least eight games played, or at least two seasons of pre-season football to make a determination.   As said earlier, some coaches are very bullish on winning games that have zero significance to what their record will be at the end of the season, and some coaches do not care whatsoever and will instead be a lot looser with their play calling, and very liberal on which athletes that they will put into play the game.  Coaches that want to win in the preseason will play a lot of their good 1st, 2nd and 3rd string players and determine if their lower tier players will make the team during OTAs.  They also will in mainly stick to their main playbook without fear of showing their hand in the preseason.  Other coaches that do not care much at all about winning will tend to play their worst players to determine if they will make the team during the preseason games rather than in practice or OTAs.  These “bearish” coaches will also try out a lot of new plays during the games that were created in the offseason, or plays that were never a factor in their playbook in the previous years.

On a sadder note, over the offseason we lost a coach that was starting to trend to be a nice fade in Kliff Kingsbury.  He was 2-4 in preseason football.   May the Gods bless him with a new place to coach football.

Some of the most winning coaches who will be paying my bills:

  • Mike Tomlin at 38-24 at 61% – I would make the playoffs if you counted the preseason!
  • Sean McDermott at 12-7 at 67% – I will not lose!
  • John Harbaugh at 43-12 at 78% – Let’s all get injured so we can heal up before the playoffs!

Some of the most losing coaches who could also help pay some bills are:

  • Dan Campbell at 1-5 at 17% – Lose more preseason to win more later!
  • Brandon Staley at 1-5 at 17% – I am secretly trying to win!
  • Zac Taylor and Matt Lefleur at 3-7 at 30% – Winning begins with losing!

When looking at coaching records, it is also very important to look at how they approach the preseason.  Now I know that we only have three preseason games since 2021, and here on out for the foreseeable future, but It is still important to know what these coaches do in the beginning, the middle and at the end.  Due to the change, I had to recompile our data to show the coaching record for week one, the middle weeks, and the final week.  I basically had to combine weeks two and three for the NFL Preseason before 2021.  Some of the significant data that we found show that Jon Harbaugh is 14-1 in game one but only 9-5 at the final week (only lol).  Maybe be a little more careful with that.  Also, Bill Belichick is 65% at 15-8 in game one, and only 41% at 9-13 in the final week.  Another thing to look at is that Mike Tomlin is 56% at 10-8 in week one but 64% at 18-10 in the middle weeks.  If you want an extra edge in your handicapping, looking at these week to week records could certainly help.

I know what you are thinking.  Why are you giving me coaching records per game rather than straight ATS?   Well, the reason for this is that preseason spreads are usually very small due to the fact that the best teams are not always trying to win and the worst teams might have some more skin in the game when it comes to QB competition.  The winning team usually covers, so motivation can be read more easily just based on the coaching records.

A few things to keep in mind for 2023.  The preseason schedule remains only three games.  Even though this change is still at it’s youth, I do not think that it factors in much to what these coaches do with respect to their history in the in the first game, the middle game, and in their last game.  There also is a lot of up and comers with coaches like Nick Siriani at 1-4 so far in the preseason, and Robert Salah at 5-0.  I think that looking at the coaching records week by week maybe the best way to gain an edge this preseason.

In summary, it can certainly be profitable to bet preseason football if you understand how some of these coaches approach their season juxtaposed with what some of these other teams want to accomplish.  If you have any questions about this, feel free to tweet me @OBKiev or @TheOddsBreakers.

Diamondbacks vs Giants -110 O/U 7.5

Two good pitchers facing each other today.   Zach Gallen for the Snakes coming off of his first real bad performance, but he is still boasting a 3.36 ERA and 9.42 K/9.   Alex Cobb has been looking sharp himself with a 2.97 ERA and 8.49 K/9.   I’ll call this matchup a push for now, but the key to this handicap is that the Diamondbacks are are the healthier team and they are betting hitters against right handed bats ranking 8th in wOBA to the Giants at 14h.   I think that Gallen bounces back here and the Snakes stay ahead of the game for the first five innnings.

Diamondbacks 1st 5 -110 – 1 star

Red Sox vs Giants +103 O/U 8

This should be a fun game to watch.  The wind should be blowing out to left center while we have a lefty pitching for the Red Sox in James Paxton.   Paxton isn’t a bad pitcher at all and he is actually above average with a 3.45 ERA and a 3.7 FIP.   My bigger concern is that the Red Sox used up some of their best bullpen in last nights win.   The Giants start Ryan Walker who has a nice 2.7 ERA over 33 innings but a worse FIP at 3.85.   He could regress some for sure.   The Red Sox are 6th in runs while the Giants rank 15th.   I think we see some hitting this game and the score goes over 8 total runs.

Over 8 runs -120 – 1 star

 

Nascar Pick 7/30/2023

Nascar H2H Matchup Brad Keselowski Over Tyler Reddick -108 @Fanduel Sportsbook

Risk 3.24 Units To Win 3 Units

Did not get the win last week with William Byron over Ross Chastain as Byron had a questionable pit stop towards the end of the race that didn’t get that bet home, but that’s gambling and all we can do now is look forward on getting a winner this Sunday at Richmond Raceway. This will be the second time this year that the cup series is running at Richmond and back on April 2nd this year Brad Keselowski took a 10th place finish and Tyler Reddick finished 16th. Keselowski has owned Reddick at Richmond by beating him 5 of the last 6 races here. The last 6 races at Richmond Keselowski has an average finish of 11th and Reddick with a 17.5. A good comp to Richmond would be New Hampshire Motor Speedway where Reddick has not beaten Keselowski heads up here at this track since he entered the cup series back in 2020. Keselowski has been in better form as he has had a better finishing position than Reddick in 7 of the last 10 races, take Brad Keselowski over Tyler Reddick this Sunday at Richmond Raceway.

Cubs vs Cardinals -110 O/U 9

Gonna be a fun one in St Louis today where the Cubs are now just one game below .500 and the Cardinals pretty much sellers at this point.   Justin Steele takes the mound for the Cubbies boasting a 2.95 ERA and a 2.97 FIP.  I’d say that he is their ace right now with Strohman blowing up as of late.   Mike Mikolas takes the help for the Cards with a 4.33 ERA and a 3.89 FIP.   I’d say this is a sizeable difference.    Hitting is a push between these two teams, but over the last two weeks, the Cubbies are number 1 in wRC+ at 137.   I think that the Cubs get to .500 today.

Cubs -110 – 1 star
