The golfing world stays out of the States this week after the Open, heading to Glen Abbey Golf Club in Ontario, Canada for the RBC Canadian Open. Be sure not to mistake the Canadian Open with the RBC Heritage when looking at player form and course history, because the short Harbour Town is the exact opposite from this week’s long-playing Glen Abbey. Big hitters have the advantage this week. Dustin…

Khris Davis (FDraft: $8,400 DK: $4,400 FDuel: $3,900): Our first Must-Have of the slate comes from Toronto where Khris Davis and the Oakland Athletics take on right-hander Marco Estrada and the Toronto Blue Jays. Looking at Estrada, we have a pitcher that has struggled mightily as of late. After a solid April and May, Estrada’s wheels have fallen off as he posted a 5.96 FIP in June and sports a…

Bryce Harper (FDraft: $10.800 DK: $5,600 FDuel: $5,000): Our first Must-Have of the night comes from Washington where superstar Bryce Harper and his Nationals will take on right-hander Zach Davies and the Milwaukee Brewers. Of course, Harper is in a great matchup almost every time he faces a righty, but we feel tonight his matchup is simply too good to fade. Looking at Davies, we have a right-hander who struggles…
MLB | Must-Haves | 7/24/17
Justin Upton (FDraft: $8,400 DK: $4,300 FDuel: $3,600): Our first Must-Have of the day will be stepping into the box tonight in a reverse-splits matchup in Detroit. Upton is checking out all across the board in our research tonight and will be the first player we plug into our lineups on this 12-game slate. Jason Hammel has allowed a .349 BA, .904 OPS and .387 wOBA on the road against…

Kyle Busch (DK: $10,500): It’s mind blowing to think that it has been more than a year now since Rowdy has won a Cup series race. Seemingly every week, the #18 car is a car to beat for the win, but every week something has gone wrong. This week however, Rowdy comes to a track that he has simply dominated over the last two years. Winning back-to-back years at one…

PGA | Weather Spotlight | The Open Championship
When we started writing the Weather Spotlights for PGA Tour events and the majors, we circled The Open Championship on the calendar. More than any tournament during the year, weather usually is a predominant storyline for the week of the Open, regardless of venue. This week is no different. We’ve had lucky breaks in the weather for this championship in the past, but for the first two days, that won’t…
