NASCAR at Watkins Glen 2018 odds and picks: Advanced model locks in surprising predictions for GoBowling at The Glen
After opening at 3-1, Kyle Busch is the 3-2 preferred for NASCAR at Watkins Glen 2018, which conducts Sunday at 3 p.m. ET. It is the second road course race of the season and Denny Hamlin, listed at 10-1 NASCAR in Watkins Glen odds, won the pole on Saturday. Busch leads all active drivers with four road wins, including two at Watkins Glen, but his final win at The Glen was back in 2013. Martin Truex Jr. won GoBowling in The Glen last year and is recorded at 4-1 odds. Prior to making any 2018 NASCAR in Watkins Glen picks, you want to see exactly what SportsLine’s advanced computer version has to say.
The model, built by DFS expert Mike McClure, has a proven track record in a number of sports. In addition, it forces McClure’s DFS projections, that have led him to more than $1 million in career winnings.
McClure, with a mechanical engineering degree, grew up around race tracks. Big racing events in this way are in his blood, and his model was beating its 2018 NASCAR picks.
The model has already made several huge 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. It also nailed five of the top 10 at Bristol and two of the top five at Daytona, simply to name a few. Anybody following its picks this season is way, way up.
Now that the 2018 NASCAR in Watkins Glen area is secured, SportsLine simulated the occasion 10,000 times and the results were surprising.
1 surprising pick from the model for GoBowling at The Glen 2018: Chase Elliott, getting the third-best NASCAR at Watkins Glen odds to win at 6-1, does not sniff the top 10. He’s a driver to avoid on Sunday despite his stellar starting place of third.
Elliott is still in search of the initial career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series triumph. He has cracked the top 10 in four of his last seven starts, but was only 19th in 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 rate (124.520 mph) in the final practices for GoBowling in The Glen 2018, but the version says he’s a popular 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, including winning final year. But he’s a risky pick at these odds because he’s got an average finish position of 12th at Watkins Glen in his career and has finished 10th or worse in three of his last six races . There are better values out there within this Go Bowling in The Glen field.
Rather, the model is targeting two enormous underdogs with odds longer than 30-1 that are poised to make a serious run at the checkered flag, including a monster long shot. Anyone who bets on these underdogs could strike it wealthy.
