He has three wins in 20 career trips to Torrey Pines and he finished last season on a high note. With his personal issues remedied and no Tiger in his way, could Phil be primed for his best season?<\/p>\n Nick Watney<\/strong><\/p>\n Farmers insurance Open odds: +1500<\/p>\n Quite the dropoff from Mickelson to the next best odds on the list. Watney deserves a good look, however, as he won the event last year. He was also a solid 16th<\/sup> at the Sony Open so it\u2019s not like he\u2019s limping into Torrey Pines.<\/p>\n Robert Allenby<\/strong><\/p>\n Farmers Insurance Open odds: +1500 Dustin Johnson<\/strong><\/p>\n Farmers Insurance Open odds: +3500<\/p>\n It\u2019s too bad a relative unknown like Dustin Johnson doesn\u2019t offer better sportsbook value. Still, I like his chances this week. He\u2019s long off the tee \u2013 important for the South Course \u2013 and fairly accurate, which is important for the North Course. He cracked the top 20 here last year and should improve upon that result this week.<\/p>\n Bubba Watson<\/strong><\/p>\n Famers Insurance Open odds: +5000<\/p>\n Bubba can lace into the golf ball with his long swing and has two top-10s at Torrey Pines. He also finished second last week at the Bob Hope Classic. Bettors can make a strong case for Watson, as he gives good bang for your buck at +5000 and is peaking in time for the Farmers Insurance Open.<\/p>\n Kevin Sutherland<\/strong><\/p>\n Farmers Insurance Open odds: +6000<\/p>\n If you want consistency, Sutherland could be your man. He\u2019s played 14 tournaments and Torrey Pines and cracked the top 15 seven times. He started strongly enough this year with a top-15 finish at La Quinta, too.<\/p>\n THE PICK<\/strong><\/p>\n I can\u2019t blame any high-risk, high-gain players who pounce on Bubba Watson. However, for the first time this season, I\u2019m playing favorites. Lefty Mickelson has everything going for him this week, from a strong finish last season to a righted ship at home to a solid support from his hometown crowd. The stars have aligned for him this week.<\/p>\n Pick: Phil Mickelson +600<\/p>\n Looking for 2010 Farmers Insurance Open Tee Times<\/strong><\/a>?<\/p>\n <\/strong> Preview and free golf picks for the 2010 Farmers Insurance Open, which is hosted by Torrey Pines in California.

\nSeems like a trap to me. He\u2019s valued as the No. 2 favorite after he placed second at the Sony Open but he has one top-25 finish in six career tourneys at Torrey Pines. He just doesn\u2019t offer enough value.<\/p>\nSOLID PICKS<\/strong><\/h3>\n
