At +450 odds, Hamlin has an implied probability of 20% to take the checkered flag. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has been dominant at Pocono with seven career wins, but does he offer betting value? Let’s dive into some predictions.
NASCAR Great American Gateway Predictions
While Hamlin is the deserving favorite given his Pocono expertise, I’m not rushing to the betting window at +450. The 42-year-old is mired in a five-race slump and hasn’t led 50 laps in a race since early May. Hamlin should contend for the win, but there are other short-odds drivers I prefer.
Kyle Larson (+550) is still searching for his first Pocono victory, but it feels like only a matter of time. The 2021 series champ has led laps in five of his last seven Pocono starts and paced the field for 24 circuits last season before a late wreck. Larson’s No. 5 Chevy has been one of the fastest cars all year.

Christopher Bell (+850) and Tyler Reddick (+850) are two more drivers with plenty of upside. Bell has flashed speed all season and boasts top-6 finishes in two of his last three Pocono starts. Reddick has been red-hot with three straight podiums, six top-8s in his last seven races overall, and four straight top-11s at Pocono.
After weighing the data, Reddick is my pick to win Sunday’s race. The 26-year-old has been on a heater and Richard Childress Racing has found the right setup for the new aero package. Reddick finished second and first in the two races leading into Pocono, making his +850 price an attractive bet.
Speaking of attractive bets, Martin Truex Jr. at -105 for a top-5 is one of my favorite props. The 2015 Pocono winner has been one of the most consistent performers at the Tricky Triangle with seven top-7s in his last nine starts. Look for another strong run from MTJ on Sunday.
- Winner prediction: Tyler Reddick (+850)
- Top-5 finish pick: Martin Truex Jr. (-105)
- DraftKings head-to-head: Truex Jr. (-125) vs William Bryon
NASCAR Pocono Raceway Longshots & Value Bets
Looking further down the oddsboard, there are a few longshot bets worth considering at Pocono. Bubba Wallace leads my list at +2200 to win and -195 for a top-10. Wallace has finished 11th or better in his last three Pocono starts, including a 5th-place result in 2021.
Toyota equipment is always stout at Pocono and Wallace’s 23XI Racing team has made big gains after a slow start to 2024. You can’t go wrong taking a flier on Wallace at +2200, as a simple $10 bet would payout $220 if successful.

Michael McDowell is another live longshot at +8000 to win and +2200 for a top-5. The veteran has taken a big step forward with Front Row Motorsports’ Gen-7 program, qualifying in the top-10 in half the races this season. McDowell also has respectable Pocono results of 6th and 19th in the Next Gen car. He’s not just a superspeedway specialist anymore.
One more under-the-radar bet I like is Ty Gibbs at +1200 to win. The rookie has flashed his talent with three top-10s in his last five starts, including a runner-up in Charlotte. Gibbs finished 5th in his second Pocono Cup start last year and won an Xfinity Series race in 2022. He’s got the speed and the number to pull off the upset on Sunday.
- Longshot picks to win: Bubba Wallace (+2200), Ty Gibbs (+1200)
- Top-5 finish pick: Michael McDowell (+2220)
- Top-10 finish pick: Bubba Wallace (-195 at FanDuel)
