Predictions For The John Deere Classic & Draft Kings Contest

by Geoff Garbacz | 07/12/2018 7:19 AM

Each week through Draft Kings you can play in their fantasy golf contests. Using a quantitative process I call Quantitative Sports Gambling (QSG), here are my picks for this week. The game to play is the $5 contest with $525,000 in prizes. $100,000 goes to the top finisher.

My favorite is Steve Stricker who has dominated the event. The debate is whether to pick him or Zack Johnson who also has done well here. Stricker is having a better year.

The second pick is Kevin Streelman who has made 18 of 22 cuts and has 4 top tens.

The third pick is Kelly Kraft who is hot after a second place finish. He Has made 14 of 24 cuts and has 3 top tens.

The fourth pick Si Woo Kim who also has 3 top tens and has made 16 of 21 cuts.

The fifth pick is Brian Gay who is playing terrific as of late. This year he has 4 top tens and made 16 of 22 cuts.

The sleeper pick and my last pick is Joel Dahlman who tied for fifth last week at the Greenbrier Classic giving him his first top ten. He has made 14 of 21 cuts.

We will keep you updated on the John Deere over the weekend as well as each day. Good luck if you follow our picks.
