Ambetter Health 400 Predictions
OPTION 1: Ryan Blaney (+1000)
Since February 2021, Blaney has the best average finish at Atlanta among drivers with at least six races (the maximum over that time frame). And actually, his 7.3 average finish is the best among all drivers in today’s grid, not just those with at least six starts. In those six races, Blaney has one win, three top-5 finishes and five top-10s. He led for 67 laps, with a high of first place and a low of just 17th. His 110.00 average driver rating is the highest at Atlanta Motor Speedway among drivers in today’s grid. He’ll start sixth today, so he’ll be in the mix.
OPTION 2: William Byron (+1500)
Bettors will likely stay away from Byron figuring he can’t go back-to-back, but he has excellent numbers at Atlanta. In his six starts here, he has two wins, two top-5 finishes, three top-10s and has led for 174 laps. His 94.6 average driver rating is fourth behind only Blaney, Elliott and Kurt Busch. Byron will start from the 11th position today and you know he’s confident following the win in Daytona earlier this week.
OPTION 3: Chase Elliott (+1300)
Elliott’s 13.0 average finish at Atlanta ranks second to only Blaney’s 7.3. In his five races at Atlanta since February of 2021, Elliott has one win, one top-5 finishes, three top-10s and four top-20s. His best finish was the victory and his lowest was 38th. His average driver rating of 95.7 also ranks second to only Blaney, although Elliott will have the disadvantage of starting 28th today. His average start in his last five races at Atlanta is 7.2, so he’s got some work to do today. Still, he offers betters plenty of value.
