NASCAR is at Darlington this week with the Cup and Xfinity Series. Some of the odds for the Cup Series came out early in the week but there isn't too much that is jumping out to me right away.
As I stated in my EARLY WEEK PREVIEW, I expected Tyler Reddick, Denny Hamlin, and Kyle Larson to be the top drivers this week and the odds back that up with them having the top 3 odds to win. Xfinity odds just came out on some sportsbooks as well.
There is one bet I have taken so far this week:
Todd Gilliland top 10 +450 (Bet365)
Again as I stated in my early week preview article for Darlington, I expect the Front Row Motorsports cars to do well this week. They both ran around the top 10 here in the spring and I think they will have a decent chance to get into the top 10 again this week. Todd Gilliland had the slightly longer odds and a little better price on Bet365, so I thought it was a decent value to take early in the week at +450.
Some other solid values I see out there right now is:
Bubba Wallace top 10 +120 (Bet365)
Ty Gibbs to win +1600 (Fanduel)
Bubba Wallace has finished top 10 in all of the last 4 races here at Darlington with an average running position of 10th in those races as well. The team is going to be putting every effort into their car this weekend since they need a win or a great points night to have a chance to make the playoffs. Getting him at plus money in this spot is a good value compared to what he has done here in the past. This is a safer play than Gilliland and I will likely get a bet in on it this week.
Ty Gibbs had one of the better cars here in the spring and ended up finishing 2nd. He should run well again this week and if he can be one of the top contenders getting him at 16-1 is great value. He is especially a good value at 16-1 on Fanduel when he is 9-1 or 10-1 on most other sites.
For the Xfinity Series there is one bet that I like out there right now:
Austin Hill over Sheldon Creed -135 (Caesars)
Austin Hill has been a consistent top 5 runner at Darlington over the last several races. He has been one of the best finishers here and should be a top option again this week. Creed on the other hand has run around the edge of the top 10 in the past. Hill should have a better car than Creed and should run ahead of him throughout the race.
