BONUS PLAY: MLB (Houston Astros)
NASCAR
#21 Marcus Ambrose vs #7 Robby Gordon 2:15 PM EST
Play On: 5* PLAY OF THE YEAR #7 Robby Gordon -120
For starters, I think Robby Gordon has the best shot of winning this race. Gordon has 1 win, 7 Top 5 finishes and 7 Top 10 finishes in his 9 starts here in Watkins Glen. Gordon an average finish of 8.8 here in Watkins Glen which is the 2nd best average finish among all drivers. I feel like it's his time to shine. Gordon has finished in the Top 5 each of the past 3 years and five of the past six years. Ambrose has never run a Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen. Ambrose is not the main driver for this #21 team so team chemistry is probably not going to be all that good. Ambrose also is starting dead last. Everything adds up today for a HUGE EASY win as long as we stay out of trouble but I can't handicap a wreck. Some of you may want to step it up a notch on this one. We'll play Robby Gordon to finish ahead of Marcus Ambrose for 5 units today and make it our one and only NASCAR PLAY OF THE YEAR! Thanks and good luck, Rocky
#18 Kyle Busch vs #11 Denny Hamlin 2:15 PM EST
Play On: 3* #11 Denny Hamlin +115
As my 3rd favorite driver today, I have to go with Denny Hamlin. Hamlin has no wins, 1 Top 5 finishes and 2 Top 10 finishes in his 2 starts in Watkins Glen. Hamlin has an average finish of 6.0 here in Watkins Glen. Past 2 years, Denny Hamlin's average finish at track type - ROAD COURSE is 13.0. In 3 races, he has 0 wins and 2 top 10 finishes. We'll play Denny Hamlin to finish ahead of Kyle Busch for 3 units today! Thanks and good luck, Rocky
