Adding McLaughlin>Rasmussen -140

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I’m fully fading Ras this weekend. At least until after quals.

Finished P1/P2/Quals last year 25/19/25.

ECR avg. qual at Gateway: 19.4 (13/14 tracks)

Never had a car qualify T10 here in the hybrid era.

@PolymarketSport Am I the only one that notices the market is “Who wins the NBA Championship?”

If that’s right, this is an incredibly dumb bet before/during/or after Game 1.

It’s important to always read what market you’re betting on!

[GridEdge | IndyCar @GridEdgeHQ]

And Top 5 if you’re feeling generous

[GridEdge | IndyCar @GridEdgeHQ]

@KalshiSports Can you please bring back Top 3 and Top 10 for IndyCar like you’ve had the last 2 races? 🙏

[GridEdge | IndyCar @GridEdgeHQ]

Great finds by @iN8Rodgers. Cashing out and re-placing these T3 bets @theScoreBet

O'Ward +200
McLaughlin +225

Adding O'Ward>Palou +110 2u

[GridEdge | IndyCar @GridEdgeHQ]

@PKLETSGORACING @iN8Rodgers @bet365 @DKSports Slightly worried but still think he should be a favorite. He’s won 5/10 races here. Was on track to win last year until that wreck (not his fault).

Also much less braking than Detroit and an extra week to heal.

[GridEdge | IndyCar @GridEdgeHQ]

2u McLaughlin T3 +210 @bet365
1u O’Ward T3 +170 @bet365
0.1u Armstrong T3 +1200 @bet365
1u Malukas T3 +110 @DKSports
1u Newgarden T3 +110 @DKSports

Going to be a heavy Penske week for me. Their cars have dominated here, but haven’t had luck in the race recently 👇 (2025)

[GridEdge | IndyCar @GridEdgeHQ]

@PKLETSGORACING @bet365 @DKSports Rossi has had a couple issues with pit stop fires.

Andretti just always seems to make a mistake that costs them crucial time.

[GridEdge | IndyCar @GridEdgeHQ]

@PKLETSGORACING Not at his current price.

ECR avg. starting position here 19.4, their 2nd worst on schedule.

Ras started 25th last year. If you like him, I’d wait until after quals. His price should almost definitely drop.

[GridEdge | IndyCar @GridEdgeHQ]

Saw a Pato +900 I missed out on. Will want to add him at some point but will wait for more books to post.

Think it comes down to him or the 3 Penskes. All super strong on ovals in great equipment.

[GridEdge | IndyCar @GridEdgeHQ]

@PKLETSGORACING @bet365 @DKSports Been kind of a mixed bag this year. A lot of teams have put extra resources into pit crews.

In general, the bigger teams have the bets pit crews (Penske, Ganassi, McLaren). Andretti has been notably poor.

[GridEdge | IndyCar @GridEdgeHQ]

@PKLETSGORACING @bet365 @DKSports More like 5+

Pit stops matter a lot this race.

[GridEdge | IndyCar @GridEdgeHQ]

McLaughlin Win 1u +800 @DKSports

I have this as fair down to +550

[GridEdge | IndyCar @GridEdgeHQ]

This can’t be real…right?

The person on the other side of this got implied odds of +12500 (!)

Even if it wins, you only make 0.8% ROI and your money is tied up for 9 months??? Lunacy.

🚨BREAKING: Someone just put $200,000 on the Browns to NOT win the Super Bowl...

This massive trade pays out $201,761 on Polymarket.

Race Pulse Metric: 7.2/10

I don't love the Detroit track, but it does produce some wild results.

Other than the Palou win, we saw that again today. I'd rather watch this than the parade that is Long Beach or St. Pete.

Looking forward to one of my favorites (Gateway) next! 🏹

Detroit Recap 📊

Bets: -16.4u, -70.3% ROI (Season +70.5u, 19.9% ROI)
GR: +20u, 202.0% (!) ROI, 10-5 (Season +18u, 74-53)
Race Pulse Metric (RPM): 7.2/10

Happy to walk away this week with a profit! We knew this would be a chaotic race, and boy was it ever.

Breakdown below! 👇

Fantasy

Quite the mixed bag from a fantasy standpoint.

Drivers that stood out in the projections either did really well (Palou, Kirkwood, Newgarden) or finished close to the bottom (Malukas, Power, Grosjean, Schumacher).

Hopefully you were on more of the good than the bad!

The good news is we got another classic @26WillPower_ meme that we'll be seeing for the next decade
