- Collin Morikawa (+1200) is the betting favorite at Bovada to win the Rocket Classic, but there’s better value on the board.
- Ben Griffin with +2000 odds is the best bet to win the Rocket Classic based on recent form and course fit.
- Keith Mitchell (+4500) and Cam Davis (+8000) are two other solid bets at Detroit Golf Club.
DETROIT – Since the Masters Tournament in April, Collin Morikawa has posted one finish inside the top 20. Despite this, he’s the legal sports betting favorite with +1200 odds to win this week’s Rocket Classic at Detroit Golf Club.
Event history tells us this will be another birdie-fest similar to last week’s Travelers Championship, where Morikawa finished tied for 42nd. Other players in better form like Ben Griffin (+2000), Keith Mitchell (+4500), and Cam Davis (+8000) offer better value for betting on the Rocket Classic.

Rocket Classic Best Bet: Ben Griffin +2000
The red-hot Ben Griffin finished T-8 at the PGA Championship and T-10 at the U.S. Open, while also posting a win, solo second, and a T-14 finish for his last five events. His elite putting and wedge play has only been boosted by his improved driving distance (top-five at Oakmont two weeks ago), making him the best win contender at +2000 odds.
A key statistic for Detroit Golf Club is strokes gained off the tee (SG: OTT), which gives Keith Mitchell a ton of value at +4500 odds. Mitchell ranks sixth for SG: OTT on the season, but he’s also gaining strokes in all categories with five top 20 finishes in his last eight events.
Cam Davis (+8000) Undervalued For Rocket Mortgage Classic
Defending champion Cam Davis has +8000 odds at PGA Tour betting sites to continue his dominance at Detroit Golf Club. He’s won this event twice in the last five years and posted a pair of top 20 finishes here.
The key to Davis’s success at the Rocket Classic is his ball striking. Going back to his last 12 total rounds at Detroit Golf Club, he leads the field in approach and ball striking while also ranking top-three for strokes gained total and tee-to-green.
