Indy 500 Odds – Top Picks at the Brickyard
The Indy 500 odds are just days away, so we better fire off some picks at IndyCar-like speed! Here are a few names to target at your
Scott Dixon
Indy 500 betting line: +350
Pretty tough to go against
Helio Castroneves
Indy 500 betting line: +500
Yes, yes, we know. We can’t mention Helio anymore without discussing his Dancing With the Stars prowess. But the truth is that he also deserves respect as a fantastic (and, in fact, our favorite) Indy 500 odds pick this weekend. The two-time winner at the Brickyard (2001, 2002) placed second behind
Danica Patrick
Indy 500 betting line: +800
What’s that? No Dario Franchitti? Calm down. We know he’s a good pick too, but it just feels right to discuss Danica here (and not just because of her sexy Go Daddy.com commercial! OK, well, maybe slightly because of that). Even though she doesn’t have an Indy 500 odds win under her belt like the aforementioned racers, she’s due. She has two fourth-place finishes and an eighth at the Brickyard plus two top-five finishes this IndyCar season. If you like your sportsbook underdogs, there’s a good chance that Danica’s time to make history is now.

MLB Odds – Thursday Baseball Betting Picks
Interleague baseball betting play is just around the corner, but a pair of major rivalries each still have another tilt on the sked tonight. Let’s make some MLB betting picks for the Cubs vs Cardinals odds and the Red Sox vs Blue Jays odds.
Red Sox vs Blue Jays odds—Jon Lester (2-4, 6.51) vs Robert Ray (1-1, 3.60), 7:10 p.m. ET
MLB odds: Red Sox -200, Blue Jays +170
You can almost hear Blue Jays odds supporters leaping off the bandwagon already after Toronto lost two of three to the Yankees last week and now stares down a sweep at the hands of the Red Sox . No-name hurler Robert Ray doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in sportsbook players tonight. He hasn’t been half bad for the Jays so far this season but his solid home outings against the White Sox and Orioles can’t possibly prepare him for the experience of pitching before a hostile crowd at Fenway. Jon Lester has struggled in baseball betting this season but he’s 17-4 all-time at Fenway and his friendly surroundings give him as good a chance as any to bounce back. Bet on the Red Sox to pull off the sweep.
Baseball betting pick: Red Sox -200
Cubs vs Cardinals odds—Sean Marshall (2-2, 4.02) vs Adam Wainwright (3-2, 3.83),
MLB odds: Cubs +120, Cardinals -140
Here‘s an example of how baseball betting lines can be deceiving. The Cards are just a mild favorite at home when they’re actually a rock-solid pick tonight.
