After opening at 3-1, Kyle Busch is the 3-2 favorite for NASCAR at Watkins Glen 2018, which conducts 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 was back in 2013. Martin Truex Jr. won GoBowling in The Glen this past year and is recorded at 4-1 odds. Prior to making any 2018 NASCAR in Watkins Glen picks, you need to find out what SportsLine’s advanced computer version has to say.
The model, built by DFS expert Mike McClure, has a proven track record in multiple sports. It also forces McClure’s DFS projections, which have led him to more than $1 million in career winnings.
McClure, who has a mechanical engineering degree, grew up around race tracks. Significant racing events like this are in his blood, and his version has been crushing its 2018 NASCAR picks.
The model has made several enormous calls this season, nailing the 1-2 finish for Busch and Harvick at the O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 also as Harvick’s win at the KC Masterpiece 400. In addition, it pinpointed five of the top 10 in Bristol and two of the top five in Daytona, simply to name a few. Anyone following its picks this season is way, way up.
Now that the 2018 NASCAR at Watkins Glen field is locked, SportsLine mimicked the occasion 10,000 times and the results were unexpected.
1 sudden pick from the version for GoBowling in The Glen 2018: Chase Elliott, getting the third-best NASCAR at Watkins Glen chances to triumph at 6-1, does not sniff the top 10. He is a driver to avoid on Sunday despite his leading beginning place of third.
Elliott is still in search of his first career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series win. He’s cracked the top 10 in four of his last seven starts, but was just 19th at Chicago and 34th in Daytona a 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 ) at the final clinics for GoBowling in The Glen 2018, but the version says he’s a favorite to fade.
Another shocker: Truex Jr., getting the second-best odds at 4-1, doesn’t even finish in the top five.
He’s had plenty of success on street tracks, including winning final year. But he’s a risky pick at these chances because he has an average finish position of 12th in Watkins Glen in his career, and it has finished 10th or worse in three of his past six races . There are better values available in this Go Bowling at The Glen field.
Instead, the model is targeting two enormous underdogs with chances longer than 30-1 who are poised to make a serious run at the checkered flag, including a monster long haul. Anyone who bets on such underdogs could hit it rich.
