2012 Indianapolis 500 Betting Preview
Race: Indianapolis 500
Date: Sunday, May 27, 2012
Time: 12 p.m. (ET)
Broadcast: ABC
While the growth of NASCAR’s popularity over the years has replaced open-wheel racing as America’s No.1 racing series, the Indy 500 is still one of the most popular and entertaining races in the sport.
The following is a look at my top three favorites to win Sunday’s race along with their current odds as provided by Bovada.
Helio Castroneves- 11/2
Pole sitter Ryan Brisco is the odds-on-favorite to win this race at 7/2, but veteran driver Castroneves offers better value as the second-favorite at 11/2 to win at Indy. He already has three top-10 finishes in the first four races this season, including a victory at St. Petersburg and a third-place finish in the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama.
The No.3 car is currently second in the Izod Indy Car point standings. He is coming off a disappointing 2011 campaign where he went winless in 18 races including a 17th-place finish at Indy. However, given his current form coming into this year’s race, Castroneves is in great position to capture his fourth career Indy 500 championship after winning in 2001, 2002, and most recently in 2009.
He will start this year’s race from the sixth position; on the outside of Row 2.
Will Power- 6/1
There is no Indy series driver hotter right now than Will Power. He comes into this race ranked first in the standings with 180 points after winning three of the first four races, which adds a tremendous amount of value to his 6/1 odds. The No.12 car started last year’s race from the middle of the second row but could only manage a 14th-place finish. [ad-8757089]
While Power is still searching for his first career win at Indy, he has come close in recent years with a fifth-place finish in 2009 and an eighth-place finish in 2010. He will once again start this year’s race in the middle of the second row.
Marco Andretti- 10/1
The Andretti name has long since been synonymous with Indy car racing and Marco continues to carry this tradition on as one of the top drivers in the series.
The No.26 car has gotten off to a slow start this season; finishing out of the top 10 the first four races. He is coming off a solid 2011 campaign with a victory at Iowa to go along with four other top-five finishes.
Last year at Indy, Andretti was forced to start 26th due to a poor qualifying time but still managed a top-10 finish in ninth place. He already has a second-place finish in this race in 2006 and two third-place finishes in 2008 and 2010 on his resume, so at 10/1 odds, 2012 could very well be his year to break through with a victory.
He will start this year’s race on the inside of Row 2 in the fourth position.

Betting ON Coca-Cola 600 Gambling Odds
The NASCAR Sprint Cup series spends its second-straight week in Concord, North Carolina for the running of the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
MLB Betting Previews- Thursday, May 24 Parlay
The 2012 MLB regular season has been somewhat unpredictable in the early going with teams like Washington, Baltimore and Cleveland leading their respective division, while teams such as Philadelphia, Boston, and the New York Yankees continue to struggle.
This has made handicapping the games a bit more of a challenge, but after sifting through all the pertinent stats and information available for the pitching matchups on Thursday’s slate of games, we uncovered a two-team parlay that promises to jump-start your holiday weekend.
Game 1- San Francisco Giants vs. Miami Marlins
Money Line: San Francisco +110 Miami -115
Total Line: 7.5
San Francisco will kick-off its four-day stay in Miami with Ryan Vogelsong as its starter for Game 1. The right-hander is 2-2 on the year with an ERA of 2.27 and a 1.17 WHIP. He has given-up a total of three earned runs in his last four starts after allowing nine earned runs in his first three. Vogelsong is 1-3 against the Marlins but sporting a 1.97 ERA in 32 innings pitched.
Anibel Sanchez is slated to get the start for Miami in the series opener. He has gone at least seven innings in his last six starts and has not given-up more than two earned runs in any of his eight starts this season. The right-hander is 2-2 on the year with a 2.32 ERA. He is 3-0 against the Giants with an ERA of just 0.87.
The Giants are 5-1 in their last six games in Miami, but just 2-8 in the last 10 meetings overall. While a side bet on the ‘under’ would be a solid play considering both these pitchers current form along with the fact that the total has stayed ‘under’ in four of the last five meetings here, stick with Miami over the road-weary Giants in the front-end of this parlay. [dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Game 2- Philadelphia Phillies vs. St. Louis Cardinals
Money Line: Philadelphia +120 St. Louis -135
Total Line: 8
The extremely inconsistent Phillies will go with Joe Blanton as their starter in Game 1 of this four-game set. The right-hander has given-up 11 earned runs on 20 hits in his last three starts to fall to 4-4 on the year with an overall ERA of 3.74. He is 3-2 against the Cardinals with a 3.03 ERA.
St.Louis will counter with Jake Westbrook. This right-hander is 4-3 in eight previous starts with a 2.41 ERA. He has held his opponents to two or less earned runs in six of those games. Lifetime against the Phillies, Westbrook is 1-1 with an ERA of 3.52.
This will be the first meeting between the two teams this season, but Philadelphia is 2-5 in the last seven meetings overall and 1-2 in its last three games in St. Louis. This game could be another strong play for the ‘under’ considering that four of Blanton’s last five starts against the Cardinals have stayed ‘under’ the total, but stick with St. Louis to come through with the victory to round-out the back-end of this parlay.
