Who’s your guess to win?
Rory McIlroy (12-1)
McIlroy was simply the co-favorite at +450 ultimately month’s PGA Championship. Now he is almost triple the value thanks partly to some tools points. I belief Rory to iron out the problems and get again to kind at a event he is completed runner-up at in every of the final two years. He has been seventh or higher after every of the final 14 rounds at this occasion courting to 2021. — David Gordon, ESPN Analysis
Collin Morikawa (22-1)
Morikawa has the emotional management and analytical mindset that fits Oakmont. He began the 12 months sizzling with two runner-up finishes in his first 4 stats, The Sentry and Arnold Palmer, and has since cooled with just one top-10 end since March. He has the construct to sort out this course; he is fourth in accuracy and fifth in method. We have seen what Morikawa is able to when the putter is even barely cooperating. Whereas his placing could be a catastrophe, that ought to be the case for everybody this week. If he stays calm and performs his recreation, Morikawa will quietly be within the combine Sunday, and nobody could be shocked. — Pamela Maldonado, Betting Analyst
Jon Rahm (12-1)
Rahm has the right lengthy recreation to succeed at Oakmont. He comes into the week in nice kind, and that feisty mojo is again! His T14 on the Masters and T8 at the PGA Championship tells me that he can pull this off. Rahm leads LIV in greens in regulation proportion, which is a vital metric on this observe. — Anita Marks, Betting Analyst
Who’s your favourite guess to make the highest 10?
Xander Schauffele (+210)
I am leaning with spectacular event historical past over mediocre season kind with Schauffele at a value I do not assume we’ll see for him too typically sooner or later. He has seven top-10 finishes in eight profession appearances on the U.S. Open, with tied for 14th his worst profession end (2022). It is solely a matter of time earlier than Schauffele (139th this season in Strokes Gained: Placing) will get his putter again, after which… he is again. — Gordon
Keegan Bradley (+475)
Golf is about trusting your swing. With back-to-back top-10 finishes and optimistic placing, Bradley has the belief. That is confidence, timing and move. Bradley is a high-quality ball-striker throughout the board and is surprisingly robust across the inexperienced. He isn’t essentially the most constant main performer, however Captain Keegan’s greatest stuff has come at robust venues. The putter is essentially the most risky facet of his recreation, however Bradley has the ball-striking ceiling that’s completely excessive sufficient to win. If Oakmont is a pure tee-to-green survival check, Bradley is within the combine. — Maldonado
What’s your favourite Scottie Scheffler guess?
To complete Spherical 1 in high 10 (+150)
Scheffler has been inside the highest 10 after 10 of his final 11 main rounds (91%) courting again to final 12 months. Every of the final 4 U.S. Open winners, and 9 of the final 11, have been inside the highest 10 after 18 holes. Given Scheffler is the prohibitive favourite this week, it could be the very best worth on the three-time main champion. — Gordon
To complete Spherical 1 in high 10 (+150)
Scottie is sustained excellence. He isn’t flashy, however he is regular, particularly within the early stage of a event. Third on tour in Spherical 1 scoring common, Scheffler is past elite from the leap. Separating his strokes gained numbers by spherical, Scottie is at his greatest off the tee, together with his irons and from tee-to-green within the opening spherical of tournaments, gaining a median of three.98 strokes whole, at the least a full 1.5 strokes higher in comparison with the remainder of the three rounds to shut. That is why “ready for a greater quantity stay” often would not come. He begins sizzling, then stays strong the remainder of the way in which. — Maldonado
Who’re your favourite lengthy photographs/worth bets?
Keegan Bradley to win (75-1)
I be ok with this being greater than only a lotto ticket. Wild? Sure. Unimaginable? No. Placing and scrambling are the crimson flags, however Bradley’s method and ball-striking ground is very large. With two high 10s in his final two begins, his kind is peaking. He is dynamite tee to inexperienced proper now, rating second within the discipline over the past 32 rounds. In order for you a man with winning-level ball-striking at longer odds, he belongs in your card. He is already certainly one of my top-20 picks, now as a top-10 selection, could as effectively throw within the high 5 at 10-1. One time, Captain Keegan! — Maldonado
Cameron Young to win (100-1)
After a brutal begin to the season with 4 missed cuts in a five-start span, Younger is coming off a T-4th end on the RBC Canadian Open and completed tied for seventh in Pennsylvania on the Truist Championship three begins prior. He has loads of main championship expertise and success, with 5 high 10s between the 2022 PGA and 2024 Masters. — Gordon
Every other bets stand out to you?
Make the reduce parlay: Tommy Fleetwood & Harris English (-104)
English is in the midst of a profession 12 months and has by no means missed the reduce on the U.S. Open in 9 profession appearances. Fleetwood hasn’t missed a reduce this season and hasn’t even been exterior the highest 40 by 36 holes in his final 11 begins. I really feel fairly comfy placing the 2 collectively for this one! — Gordon
Scottie Scheffler top-5 end (-140)
The juice is steep however could even nonetheless be undervalued. In 31 begins since January 2024, Scheffler has completed high 5 in 19 of these, together with 10 wins. In contrast to most juice-heavy markets, this one has the info to again it. Scheffler is not risky, not often posts a foul spherical, and even with a chilly putter, his ball-striking alone can preserve him close to the highest. There have been a number of cases the place he is misplaced at the least three strokes or extra placing and nonetheless completed T11 or higher. If this have been some other participant, the juice could be unplayable, however Scheffler is statistically dependable. — Maldonado
Dustin Johnson to overlook the reduce (-120)
DJ received the U.S. Open at Oakmont in 2016 in what appears like a lifetime in the past. Since his transfer to LIV in 2022, Johnson hasn’t even come near rivalry in main competitors. His greatest end in 10 main begins since 2023 is a T31 ultimately 12 months’s Open Championship. He has missed the reduce 5 instances, together with at each the Masters and the PGA Championship this 12 months. Till DJ reveals me one thing else together with his recreation, I am going to proceed to fade him laborious at main competitions. — Tyler Fulghum
Rory McIlroy to overlook the reduce (+290)
Rory has not been the identical golfer since profitable the Masters. He shot a 78 within the second spherical of the Canadian Open and didn’t play effectively at Quail Hole. His driver subject is an actual factor, and his iron play has not been stellar. Did he lose his starvation after profitable the grand slam? Presumably. — Marks
Ludvig Åberg top-20 end (+155) and high Nordic golfer (+190)
Aberg got here near profitable the Canadian Open, and I imagine we get good worth right here for him to complete within the high 20 at plus cash. He drives the ball simply in addition to anybody on tour, and his final 5 rounds have been within the 60s. — Marks
Sepp Straka top-20 end (+170)
Straka is having a profession 12 months, profitable twice on tour this season and ending third on the Memorial Match. He has the potential to dominate this course together with his ball-striking. Straka ranks first in GIR, fourth tee-to-green, second in strokes gained on method and is high 10 in driving accuracy. — Marks
