2026 Houston Open Picks: The Bets We're Making and the Names We're Avoiding

Episode Summary

The Houston Open field is set, and we've done the work so you don't have to. Memorial Park is a track that exposes certain players and rewards others, and this week we're breaking down exactly who fits the bill. We're giving you our best bets, the sleepers worth a look at big numbers, and the names we're staying far away from no matter the price. No fluff, just the picks. Drop your questions in the comments and let us know who you're backing this week.
