Supercross betting, predictions, odds, picks, lines at Philadelphia: Cooper Webb, Chase Sexton basically even
Cooper Webb (+165 for the outright win) is the NXTBets.com favorite for Round 13 of the Monster Energy Supercross season, with Chase Sexton (-190) a close second as the series heads for what may be its second mudder of 2025 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Mud races often defy logic; no one knows that better than Webb. He spent most of the evening in Foxborough's feature outside of the top five until he found his flow on the last lap. Webb was as surprised as everyone else that he covered his -255 odds to score third-place points and extend his advantage over Sexton in the championship hunt. But that does not mean he will necessarily be a good value again this week if the track is as sloppy as it was in New England. Webb's podium odds are slightly more attractive at -218. That is still a stretch.
After failing to stand on the podium for the sixth time this season in Foxborough, Sexton's odds showed significant movement from -221 last week to -186 in Philadelphia. Both Webb and Sexton are among the toughest riders in the field, but they also have the most to lose since they are practically the only racers with a shot at the championship, and that should make them conservative in extreme conditions.
The championship odds between the two remain virtually unchanged, while both have lengthened. The points differential between Webb and Sexton was 498 last week, and heading into Philadelphia, it is 490. Webb is a marked favorite with -691 odds, but for the first time this season, Sexton is also in the minus range at -201. In championship points, only 15 separate these two, which means both riders control their fate with five rounds remaining.
Ken Roczen (+483) remains the third-ranked rider this week and narrowly missed standing on the podium in Foxborough. In fact, he believed he should have had the position and that Webb jumped on a red cross flag; officials sided with Webb's opinion that he was committed to the jump as the flag was employed. Roczen is banged up with a sore shoulder and ankle, but that does not seem to impact his speed.
After winning last week with +1048 opening odds, Aaron Plessinger (+614) joins the list of riders under 10/1 for Philadelphia. His odds have steadily lowered from nearly 30/1 at Daytona to a little more than 6/1 in Philly, but there is still a little juice to be squeezed. With podium odds of only +128, bettors may as well assume the additional risk and wager on the outright win.
PHILADELPHIA LONGSHOTS
Justin Barcia (+2236) is another rider known for his prowess on sloppy tracks. And there were moments when it appeared he would excel in Foxborough. Barcia set the fastest lap in qualification, and he was in a podium position early in the main until he got swallowed up by the mud on Lap 4. Barcia earned his second top-five of the season, but since he failed to achieve the podium, his odds of a top-three finish are relatively attractive at 3/1.
Justin Cooper (+2126) needs to be considered every week. He has ridden well enough that all it will take to put him on top of the box is a great start and a little luck. Cooper has the best average finish among winless riders with a 6.5 compared to Barcia's 7.6, and with one podium and five top-fives to his credit, Cooper keeps putting himself in position for a miracle to happen. If the Philadelphia race is dry, Cooper has the best chance at becoming the season's eighth 450 winner.

Bullpen games have provided quite a relief for the Texas Rangers with a pair of non-starter wins
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Those bullpen games have been quite a relief for the Texas Rangers. With Nathan Eovaldi still on the injured list with right elbow inflammation and Tyler Mahle now dealing with shoulder stiffness, the Rangers twice in the past week have gone with bullpen games — using only relievers for the first two times this season, and winning both. Texas could have another one Sunday in the series finale against the Chicago White Sox. The first pitcher in each of those victories hasn't allowed a hit through the first three innings, with Shawn Armstrong perfect in his three innings to open the 3-1 win over the White Sox on Friday night. Jacob Webb (4-3) has been the second pitcher both times, and he got wins with scoreless outings since the starter didn't go the required five innings to get credited with a victory. Robert Garcia finished off both for saves, and he was the seventh pitcher used against Chicago. 'Our bullpen ... it's just next man-up kind of mentality down there. And it's going well,' Webb said Saturday before two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom's start on an extra day of rest. 'It's just perseverance and knowing what we have to do down there. ... We're playing some good baseball right now and that's what matters.' While deGrom's regular turn in the rotation would have been Friday, the Rangers moved him back to avoid the possibility of back-to-back bullpen games this weekend. Mahle's normal slot would be Sunday, but with the team off Monday that would give the right-hander two extra days, if he doesn't end up on the injured list before then. Kumar Rocker (1-4, 8.87 ERA in six starts), who was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on June 5 and can't return yet to the major league roster unless it is to replace an injured player, was in the Rangers clubhouse on Saturday. When asked about Rocker's presence, manager Bruce Bochy responded, 'We may need a start.' Bochy didn't elaborate or say who would start Sunday. Jacob Latz started the first bullpen game at Washington last Sunday, when he didn't give up a hit until the fourth while striking out seven with 60 pitches over 3 1/3 innings. Webb then threw 1 2/3 scoreless innings, followed by Hoby Milner, Armstrong and Garcia in a 4-2 win. Armstrong retired all nine batters he faced Friday with five strikeouts, including his last four White Sox batters. Webb then took over for two scoreless innings, before Luke Jackson, Milner, Chris Martin, Cole Winn and Garcia. 'Everybody's willing to do whatever it takes for this team to win, so it's a pretty special group to be part of. ... Nobody's saying no to any role. When their name is called, they're getting the ball and they're getting the job done,' catcher Jonah Heim said. "The starters pick up the bullpen sometimes and the bullpen picks up starters. So that's kind of the environment we want to be in, is everybody's picking up everybody and trying to win games.' Bullpen games aren't something Bochy has done often. The Rangers were 1-6 when starting a reliever in each of the past two seasons, and now are 2-0 this year. Bochy said his relievers have done a good job all season, even with guys being moved to different roles. 'They don't care how it gets done," Bochy said. 'Just that it gets done and they're doing what they can to help win a ball game.' ___
