John Deere Classic Betting Predictions:
Option 1: Denny McCarthy (+2200)
McCarthy is an excellent player who has still yet to win on the PGA Tour, I believe he has a strong chance of changing that this weekend. McCarthy can putt about as well as anyone on tour and that should give him a great advantage this week at the John Deere. With a weaker field this week, this really feels like the week McCarthy captures his victory.
Option 2: JT Poston (+3000)
For our second option, we’ll take a prior champion in JT Poston. Poston is another guy who can get hot with his putter and make plenty of birdies. He quietly had a nice year with four top ten finishes, however he has yet to win yet this season. Poston has a great chance this week of getting in the winners circle for the first time this season.
Option 3: Nick Dunlap (+3500)
Dunlap has the ability to go extremely low this week. He played well last week, where he finished T-10 at the Rocket Mortgage. He has already won this season and has all the tools to win once this week. At this price, I really like Dunlap.
