Denis is an olympic and worlds medalist, so he will probably be given the highest PCS (by default).
Uno is consistent, but just out of juniors, so it will be hard for him to get enough PCS to overtake Denis.
As with Jason, his jumps are not very consistent in the beginning of the season.
Han Yan might do better than Jason, but since it's skate AMERICA, Jason would be favored for the bronze.
MEN
1. Denis TEN
2. Shoma UNO

Miyahara is very consistent and her PCS is getting higher every time.
Medvedeva is consistent as well, but she's just out of juniors (less PCS by default, which is fair).
Gold is not consistent, but since it's skate AMERICA, she should be able to get on the podium (by default).
Julia falls apart in her FS, so her overall score won't be enough to medal.
Tursynbaeva is consistent, but she's fresh out of juniors as well.
