00:00All right, Brady, who do you like?

00:04What's the strategy here?

00:05Do we want favorites?

00:07There's the chalk.

00:08I mean, Leisure 12 is plus 290, and then you get the Crushers at 3-1, Ripper the other

00:12by at 430, and then 750, 8, 9, 14, 20.

00:17I mean, if you go a little further, Brady, you know, I know everybody loves that four

00:21aces team, of course, because that's got Dustin Johnson on and Patrick Reed.

00:26They've won a lot.

00:27They're like 30-1 in that area.

00:29Where do you want to go?

00:30Well, I went right to the top, and like I say, I dumbed it down a little bit this week

00:35because I think this is much more difficult to handicap.

00:38Anytime there's a team element, it's more difficult than handicapping one individual

00:44golfer, but I went to the top because Jon Rahm's been good to us two out of the last

00:48three weeks, Mike.

00:49You know that.

00:50He won in England, and then he won again last week.

00:53I think he is clearly the best player on this tour, so I want to bet on Rahm again.

00:59With his team, and by the way, he's got another really good player on his team in Terrell

01:04Hatton who just finished fourth last week in Chicago.

01:08Their team, the number one seed, I'm going to ride with them.

01:11They have two hot hands, also very much experienced Ryder Cup match play players in Terrell Hatton

01:19and Jon Rahm, and then I went down a little bit deeper, and Sergio caught my eye because

01:24Sergio's really been playing well.

01:26He finished runner-up to Rahm last week in Chicago, and you know it was just a few weeks

01:31ago that he won in Spain.

01:33You and I were both on him there at Valderrama, so Sergio's had a great season.

01:38He's had a win.

01:39He's had a couple of losses in playoffs.

01:41You could argue Sergio's season has been as good as anybody's on the live circuit.

01:46Then you've also got Abraham Anser and David Puig on his team who both, Anser and Puig,

01:53have top 20 finishes in their last three events.

01:56So they come in hot, and we know Sergio has been one of the greatest Ryder Cup players

02:01in the history of that competition.

02:03So as far as match play, Sergio, Rahm, Hatton, I love those European guys when we're talking

02:09match play.

02:10So I got Sergio's team, Fireballs Golf Club, at 12 to 1, and I got Rahm, the favorite,

02:16at 3 to 1, his team there.

02:18So I just went with two shots that I think make sense.

02:21We'll see if it works.

02:23Here's what I'm going to do, Brady.

02:24I'm going with you on Rahm's team with Hatton.

02:28That's my chalk side of things.

02:29I'm going to back them if I'm going to back chalk.

02:31For the deep shot, I'm going to take the South Africans, the Stinger, at 14 to 1.

02:36You talk about guys who have played together a lot, Louis, Dean, Grace, Schwartzel, guys

02:42that know each other very well.

02:44They get through Friday.

02:46Maybe they can get themselves rolling a little bit.

02:48I like the Aussies together, too.

02:50I know they have a bye, but I'm not too troubled for me.

02:51A lot of camaraderie there.

02:52Camaraderie is a big deal when you're playing as a team.

02:55I like it.

02:56So, look, we got a team golf action this week, Brady.

03:00Let's do it, man.

03:01Let's go and get it done.

03:02Let's finish living a fitting way.
