William Byron Undervalued For The Win But Should Be Avoided For DFS
3 days agoWilliam Byron's odds of winning are placed at only 17-1 at DraftKings, surprisingly ranking ninth in odds despite winning last year's Daytona 500, along with three other drafting-track races, and starting fifth in Sunday's race. His odds are probably lower than you'd expect because the Chevies in general did not seem to be as fast as the Fords or Toyotas in the Duel races, but he still seems likelier to win than those odds imply, so he is probably worth betting on at those odds. However, he should probably be avoided in DFS lineups, as he is the eighth-most expensive driver at $9,000 and is very likely to lose position from his fifth-place starting slot, considering the odds of any driver crashing are so high. If he finishes, he can definitely win, but the odds of anyone finishing are too low to pick a driver who starts that well.
