World Cup Betting Preview - For the United States, redemption's a theme in Qatar

The new rules package is the talk of the town in Las Vegas as the Cup Series drivers get ready for the Pennzoil 400. Before that race takes place on Sunday, the Xfinity Series guys will get to burn some rubber on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway track in the Boyd Gaming 300.

There’s only one problem. Kyle Busch is in the field this week and he is the odds-on favorite at -115 over the rest of the drivers. Will somebody step up and slay Goliath on the 1.5-mile loop off of I-15, or will the heavy favorite take the checkered flag in his 2019 Xfinity Series debut.

Odds from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/5dimes"><strong>5Dimes Sportsbook</strong> </a>are on the right for desktop viewers and down below the comment box for mobile viewers as we sink our teeth into the Boyd Gaming 300.
<h5><strong>The House Edge</strong></h5>
This is a really interesting race weekend. New rules packages have created some different aerodynamics for the cars and trucks that will be running around the track this weekend. As mentioned in our preview for the Pennzoil 400, some drivers have a little bit more experience with the new cars and how they will handle than others. By the time these races go off, everybody should be on fairly equal footing thanks to practice runs and qualifying, but handicapping is about acquiring and processing information.

Ryan Preece would have been a good look for this race, but he is not running full-time and this is one of the races he is not running. Ross Chastain and Austin Dillon are the only lined drivers that participated in the test runs back on January 31 and February 1. Perhaps that gives them a little bit of an advantage in the field this week. Dillon is +2150 and Chastain is a very long shot at +55000.

Dillon actually won this race back in 2015. He was 12th in his only Las Vegas start at this level last year.
<h5><strong>Head for the Mountains</strong></h5>
Of Bussssssssssch. Kyle Busch only won once last year in the Xfinity Series, but it wasn’t from lack of trying. He led the most laps at Charlotte, Michigan, and Kentucky without a win. His only victory came at Pocono. He also had a stage win at Phoenix. Busch was 14th in this race last year. Last season’s performance was a far cry from 2017, when Busch ran 10 races, won five, had stage wins in two others, and led the most laps in two others that he failed to win.

There’s a reason why he’s -115 this week. It is worth noting that this will be Busch’s first Xfinity Series run of the season and Toyota is using the Supra instead of the Camry at the Xfinity Series level. You may want to see how the qualifying and practice times go for Busch with the different model.
<h5><strong>Answering the Bell</strong></h5>
It was a clean sweep last week at Atlanta for Christopher Bell, who led the most laps and won all three stages in the Rinnai 250. Despite the dominant performance, Bell only owns a four-point lead over Brandon Jones, who was third at Daytona in the NASCAR Racing Experience 300 and fourth last week. Justin Allgaier was second in the opener and third last week in Hampton, Georgia.

Tyler Reddick and Cole Custer round out the top five. Michael Annett won the first race of the season, but finished 12th last week and sits eighth in points. Justin Haley and Ross Chastain have the other stage wins.

When there are a limited number of Cup drivers or none at all, Bell is going to be the guy to beat. He won seven times last year. He was second in this race and fourth in the second race. Allgaier joined him in the top five last year, as well as Elliott Sadler, who retired prior to the season. Allgaier was second in the summer race. As far as answering the bell, it looks like Allgaier at +750 has the best chance to do it.
<h5><strong>Custer’s First Stand</strong></h5>
Was last week a sign of good things to come for Cole Custer? He qualified with the pole position and wound up finishing second to Bell last week. As a second-year driver last season, Custer didn’t score his first top-five finish until Texas and didn’t have another one until the first visit to Charlotte. He was third in the summer race at LVMS last season.

Could last week’s performance be the precursor to a good early start for the Gene Haas racing team member? Beginning with that top-five finish at Charlotte in the spring, Custer added 12 more, including a win in the playoff race at Texas. At +750, you can basically take your pick between Custer and Allgaier to see if one of those two gentlemen can knock off Busch or Bell.
<h5><strong>Long Shots?</strong></h5>
When Busch and Bell are in a race, betting on long shots is hard. The longest shot with a real chance is probably Austin Dillon at +2150. Realistically, going down the board past Allgaier and Custer is probably a fool’s errand. Keep an eye out for Brandon Jones as the season goes along, though. Jones is one of the Toyota drivers getting used to a Supra for this season and he’s picked up two top-five finishes already.
<h5><strong>Picks</strong></h5>
There isn’t a ton of equity in taking a -115 favorite in a stock car race, as anything can happen and the new rules package is supposed to bunch the drivers up and create some more exciting racing. With that in mind, looking at Allgaier and/or Custer is a decent way to approach this race, with some really cheap Molson Ice kind of money on Austin Dillon as a long shot contender.

2019 Xfinity Series Boyd Gaming 300 Betting Odds & Picks

The Big Ten was not even supposed to play this year, remember?

Now one of its teams has a chance to win a national title.

As <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customers are undoubtedly aware, the Ohio State Buckeyes, who have only played seven games this season, earned their berth in the National Championship Game through a strange route, which included gaining a special exception from the Big Ten Conference to even appear in their title game, because they didn't have enough games under their belt to qualify.

Well, they did get that game against Northwestern, although maybe they would have received their college football playoff spot anyway. And then, with their revenge-fueled 49-28 win over Clemson in the Sugar Bowl, which also functioned as the national semi-final game.

Even now they only have seven games on their ledger, although not all of that is their fault (Michigan, for example, canceled their game). Still, some felt as if they didn't deserve to go further, and that apparently included Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, who ranked them #11 with his vote in the coaches' poll. Maybe he was just trying to avoid them as a playoff opponent.

That didn't work, did it? Clemson, which beat Ohio State in last year's playoff (29-23), and in controversial fashion, we might add, got off to a 14-0 lead and then pretty much got snuffed.

Justin Fields, who had thrown an interception to end OSU's chances in that Fiesta Bowl game, tossed six touchdown passes, and during this process overcame a massive hit by linebacker James Skalski that injured his ribs.

The final was 49-28, and that woke up a lot of people about what they could do, as they had gone into that game as a 7.5-point underdog.

But oddsmakers are not necessarily impressed with their chances against Alabama. In the BCS Championship Game odds that have been posted at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/bas"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>, they are, in fact, a considerable underdog:

<strong>Alabama Crimson Tide -8.5</strong>
<strong>Ohio State Buckeyes +8.5</strong>

<strong>Over 75 points -110</strong>
<strong>Under 75 points -110</strong>

There has been some discussion that the Buckeyes may actually be suffering from a "letdown" here. Now, before we go any further, let's explain that this is not one of those instances where they have won a big game and are taking this particular opponent lightly. That would be a silly thing to believe; after all, this is Alabama we're talking about.

No, what we are talking about is that they worked themselves up to a fever pitch for the Clemson game and one has to wonder whether they can get themselves to that emotional level again - the emotional level that is required - with so little turnaround time. It would be almost impossible to do that.

The Buckeyes had been thinking about that Clemson game for the whole season - a whole calendar year, in fact, after that loss in last year's semi-final game, which they felt was taken away by the officials, among other things. They posted material at the training facility and in the locker room that reminded OSU players about the business at hand.

Fields even said, "I prepared for this game like I've never prepared for a game before."

Can he prepare that way again? As a practical matter, it's a rough task, from a physical and mental standpoint.

We wonder about the euphoria that may have come after that resounding revenge victory. How much did they celebrate? Did that somehow inadvertently contribute to the troubles with COVID-19 that they appear to be having now? It's hard to tell; college teams can be secretive about that kind of thing.

Okay, if they haven't come into the game as prepared as they could be, how might that manifest itself, aside from betting Alabama and laying the points?

Well, maybe it affects the way they come out in the early going. There are a few props that might apply. One of them is about who scores first:

<strong>Alabama scores first -150</strong>
<strong>Ohio State scores first +120</strong>

Another involves who scores the first six points:

<strong>Alabama scores six pts first in 1st quarter -155</strong>
<strong>Ohio State six pts first OR neither scores six pts +125</strong>

And then there is the money line in the first quarter, where Alabama is -200 (Ohio State at +170).

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.
