After opening at 3-1, Kyle Busch is the 3-2 preferred for NASCAR at Watkins Glen 2018, which runs Sunday at 3 p.m. ET. It’s the second road course race of the year and Denny Hamlin, listed at 10-1 NASCAR at Watkins Glen odds, won the pole on Saturday. Busch leads all active drivers with four road course wins, including two in Watkins Glen, but his final win at The Glen has been back in 2013. Martin Truex Jr. won GoBowling at The Glen this past year and can be listed at 4-1 odds. Before you make any 2018 NASCAR in Watkins Glen choices, you need to see exactly what SportsLine’s advanced computer version has to say.
The model, built by DFS expert Mike McClure, has an established history in multiple sports. It also powers McClure’s DFS projections, which have led him to over $1 million in career winnings.
McClure, who has a mechanical engineering degree, grew up around race tracks. Big racing events in this way are in his blood, and his version has been beating its 2018 NASCAR picks.
The model has made several huge calls this season, nailing the 1-2 finish for Busch and Harvick in the O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 as well as Harvick’s win at the KC Masterpiece 400. In addition, it pinpointed five of the top 10 at Bristol and a couple of the top five in Daytona, just to name a couple. Anyone following its selections this year is way, way up.
Now the 2018 NASCAR in Watkins Glen field is locked, SportsLine simulated the occasion 10,000 times and the results were unexpected.
1 sudden pick from the model for GoBowling in The Glen 2018: Chase Elliott, obtaining the third-best NASCAR at Watkins Glen odds to win at 6-1, doesn’t sniff the top 10. He’s a driver to avoid on Sunday despite his stellar beginning position of third.
Elliott is still in search of the initial career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series triumph. He’s cracked the top 10 in four of his last seven starts, but was only 19th at Chicago and 34th in Daytona last month. Last year at Watkins Glen, Elliott again started close to the top in fourth, but finished a disappointing 13th. He clocked the fastest speed (124.520 miles ) in the final practices for GoBowling in The Glen 2018, but the version says he’s a favorite to fade.
Another shocker: Truex Jr., getting the second-best chances at 4-1, does not even finish in the top five.
He has had plenty of success on road tracks, such as winning last year. But he is a risky pick at these chances because he has an average finish position of 12th at Watkins Glen in his career, and it has finished 10th or worse in three of his past six races . There are better values available within this Go Bowling in The Glen area.
Instead, the version is targeting two enormous underdogs with chances longer than 30-1 that are poised to make a serious run in the checkered flag, such as a monster long shot. Anyone who bets on these underdogs could hit it rich.
