TGL Best Bets and Prediction: Atlanta Drive vs. The Bay

In their first meeting this year, The Bay won 6-5 after these two teams hit the back six tied 2-2 after nine holes of triples play.

Each side won two hammers, and The Bay outdrove Atlanta 323 (on average) to 307 while hitting every fairway (Atlanta hit 80% of their fairways).

The Bay also scrambled perfectly (while still hitting 71% of the greens in regulation) and were also perfect on putts from within 10 feet.

Atlanta, though, actually rates out first in my TGL power ratings (+2.67) with The Bay sitting second (+1.84) based on adjusted point differentials.

The Bay's ball-striking has been impeccable (first in distance, accuracy, and GIR in the regular season) -- and they were also tops in scrambling.

Based on the last 50 rounds of data (per datagolf), the starting lineup for The Bay has averaged +1.23 strokes gained after field-strength adjustments.

That number for Atlanta is +1.34.

This differential has been good to us all season so I'll let it dictate my thoughts overall, as Atlanta has better opponent-adjusted TGL trends but The Bay is virtually impossible to nitpick.
