Grant Park 220 Betting Odds
Tyler Reddick is the favorite today at +500, followed by Denny Hamlin at +550 and Shane Van Gisbergen at +650. Martin Truex Jr. is also +700, followed by Christopher Bell and Kyle Larson at +1100, respectively. Daniel Suarez, meanwhile, is +1300 to win the Grant Park 220, followed by A.J. Allmendinger at +1400, Michael McDowell at +1700 and Chase Elliott at +2000.
Continuing with the odds, Kyle Busch and Ty Gibbs are both +2100, respectively, while Joey Logano is +2500, followed by William Byron and Chris Buescher at +2800, respectively. Jenson Button is +2900 and Ross Chastain is +3700.
Grant Park 220 Betting Prediction
OPTION 1: Martin Truex Jr. (+700)
Truex Jr. is the series leader and is red-hot, with wins at Sonoma in his most recent five career road-course victorious. He’s riding a four-race streak of top-5 finishes as well, which includes a runner-up posting in his last outing at Nashville.
OPTION 2: Kyle Busch (+2100)
Busch has three consecutive top-3 finishes at road courses and is currently fifth in the NASCAR Cup standings. He’s tied for the series lead with three victories and 10 top-10 finishes. I love the value we’re getting with his +2100 odds.
OPTION 3: Kyle Larson (+1100)
Larson has been boom-or-bust in 2023. In 17 races, he has two wins, eight top-10 finishes and seven top-5 postings, but he’s also produced five DNFs this season. That sort of inconsistency leaves him in ninth place in the Cup Standings but he’s also second in total laps led with 588. After opening at +700 to win today, his odds are going in the wrong direction at +1100 but the value is too good to pass up.
