Im has +1400 legal sports betting to win the tournament at a $10,300 DFS price at DraftKings, both are the second-highest numbers in the field behind betting favorite Justin Thomas (+1200).

Im opened his season with a solo-third finish at The Sentry and has finished inside the top 25 in all six appearances at The American Express. He’s going to be high-owned with such a safe floor and high ceiling, but ranking third in total stroked gained over his last 36 rounds is too good to pass up at $10,300.

Eric Cole, Adam Hadwin Best Mid-Tier DFS Picks For American Express

Eric Cole (+5000) has longer odds to win the AMEX than Adam Hadwin (+4500), but his DFS price is higher by $500. This may be due to Cole’s impressive solo fifth-place finish at the Sony Open while Hadwin finished T-59.

Cole gaining more than five strokes on approach and five strokes putting are the key takeaways from his latest top five finish. That’s the winning formula for cashing his +5000 PGA Tour betting odds at the American Express, which demands approach and putting rather than long drives and short game.

As for Hadwin, he has plenty of course familiarity at La Quinta and holds the course record of 59. He’s due for a win and is worth a shot at +4500 legal California sports betting odds after posting a t-6 here last year as a part of five top 10 finishes.
