Odds to Win the M&M’s Fan Appreciation 400
Best Picks for the M&M's Fan Appreciation 400
Pocono Raceway is without a true comparator track. The most similar course, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval, is no longer on the Cup Series schedule. Pocono is unique as a flat-banked, 2.5-mile track. Its triangular shape only makes it stand out that much more.
In short, Pocono is weird. That makes it harder for books and bettors to read. As a result, I plan to lean on past Pocono and Indy performances. I'm also giving considerable weight to four comparator tracks: two circuits with long straightaways, Auto Club and Circuit of the Americans, along with two circuits with flat-banked corners, Gateway and New Hampshire, to make my picks this weekend.
Winner: William Byron | +1200 (.25u) at FanDuel
Byron is yet to find his way to victory lane at the Tricky Triangle, but he owns the best average finish here of all active drivers at 9.1. That's better than six-time winner Denny Hamlin's average of 11.1.
We're targeting Byron because of the skill he has shown here both in the Cup Series and elsewhere. He owns two top fives and five top 10s here in Cup. He led laps in both legs of last year's double-header. Also, Byron won his lone Truck Series start here after leading more than half the race. He even won at the Indy oval in the Xfinity Series, beating Cup stars Kyle Busch and Joey Logano in the process.
Byron's performance at my highlighted comparator tracks has been hit-or-miss. He owns no top 10s in any of those events. However, he barely missed the top 10 at New Hampshire and Circuit of the Americans, and he had led 16 laps at Auto Club before getting knocked out by Tyler Reddick.
This line is a bit long for a driver who already has two wins this year. I think we're catching the books sleeping a bit with this one of our picks for the M&M's Fan Appreciation 400.
