Ryan Blaney The Heavy Favorite To Win At Atlanta
59 mins agoRyan Blaney is the odds-on favorite to win the Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend, with some sportsbooks posting Blaney as short as three-to-one to take the checkered flag in Hampton. And, honestly, that shouldn't be too surprising. Blaney has been elite here at Atlanta ever since the track was repaved and reconfigured prior to the 2022 season, and he's currently on a five-race streak of finishes of ninth or better at the 1.5-mile track--including second- and third-place finishes in the two races last season. Additionally, Blaney will bring the field to the green this weekend, as the No.12 Ford was the fastest in qualifying during the session on Sunday. As far as DraftKings goes, Blaney is sure to be picked by many on the DFS site despite having no Place Differential upside. It's certainly possible that the Team Penske Fords control this entire race on Sunday, and Blaney could put up a significant number of laps led. That, paired with a victory, would likely put the 2023 Cup Series Champion into the optimal DraftKings lineup.
