NASCAR at Watkins Glen 2018 odds and picks: Advanced model locks in surprising predictions for GoBowling at The Glen

After launching at 3-1, Kyle Busch is the 3-2 favorite for NASCAR in Watkins Glen 2018, which conducts Sunday at 3 p.m. ET. It is 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 wins, including two at Watkins Glen, but his last win at The Glen was back in 2013. Martin Truex Jr. won GoBowling at 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 see exactly what SportsLine’s advanced computer model has to say.

The model, built by DFS expert Mike McClure, has a proven history in multiple sports. It also powers McClure’s DFS projections, that have led him to more than $1 million in career winnings.

McClure, who has a mechanical engineering degree, grew up around race tracks. Big racing events like this have been in his blood, and his model was crushing its 2018 NASCAR picks.

The model has already made several enormous calls this year, 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, simply to mention a couple. Anyone following its picks this season is way, way up.

Now that the 2018 NASCAR at Watkins Glen area is secured, SportsLine simulated the occasion 10,000 times and the results were surprising.

One sudden pick from the version for GoBowling in The Glen 2018: Chase Elliott, getting the third-best NASCAR at Watkins Glen chances to win at 6-1, doesn’t sniff the top 10. He’s a driver to prevent on Sunday despite his stellar beginning place of third.

Elliott remains in search of the initial career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series win. He’s 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 speed (124.520 miles ) in the last clinics for GoBowling at The Glen 2018, but the version says he is 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 lots of success on street tracks, including winning final year. But he’s a risky pick at these odds because he’s got 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 area.

Rather, the model is targeting two enormous underdogs with chances longer than 30-1 who are poised to make a serious run in the checkered flag, such as a monster long haul. Anyone who bets on these underdogs could strike it wealthy.
