NASCAR Bristol odds: Who is Sunday's Cup Series race favorite
The NASCAR Cup Series travels up to Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend for Sunday's Food City 500.
Last year's spring race featured heavy tire wear and major falloff, and the race was won by Denny Hamlin (whose car was later penalized for an engine seal violation).

Hamlin has won the last two races, including last week's win at Darlington after a timely late-race caution and pit sequence.
Despite all that, the driver of the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota is not the betting favorite coming into the weekend.
Here are the betting odds for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race:

NASCAR's first Cup Series race outside US hits travel snags to Mexico City
MEXICO CITY (AP) — NASCAR's first Cup Series race outside the United States was off to a bumpy start Friday with several teams yet to arrive in Mexico City because of travel issues in North Carolina. At least one chartered flight to Mexico City was grounded Thursday with an engine issue, leaving teams scrambling to find alternative routes to get to Mexico. Some drove to Atlanta to catch a commercial flight. But when the track opened Friday, many were not at Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Trackhouse Racing was among them — Daniel Suarez arrived Tuesday with some support personnel so he was not affected — but the communications director for the Cup team had been summoned to help unload the Trackhouse cars off the truck because no crew members were available. The trucks came directly from last Sunday's race in Michigan and arrived at the Mexico City track on Thursday. NASCAR said only 'a select few' teams aren't on site Friday morning. But, it seems most are Xfinity Series teams based on a revamping of the weekend schedule. 'Due to two aircraft issues that grounded multiple race teams in Charlotte, N.C., on Thursday, NASCAR has adjusted the on-track schedule for this weekend's activities at Mexico City's Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez,' NASCAR said in a statement. NASCAR delayed Friday's originally planned Cup Series practice to later in the afternoon. NASCAR also pushed all Xfinity Series practice sessions from Friday to Saturday. And, the first of two NASCAR Mexico Series races will run earlier than originally scheduled on Friday. The Xfinity Series will lose some practice time, with just one 50-minute session on Saturday morning, right before qualifying. There are other slight adjustments as well, but Cup teams will not lose any practice. ___

2025 MLB odds: Bettors backing Detroit Tigers to win AL Pennant
With their 44-25 record, the Detroit Tigers are currently one of the best teams in Major League Baseball, sitting atop the standings in the AL Central. And with all the success Detroit has had so far this season, bettors have taken note. At BetMGM, the Tigers' odds to win the World Series opened at +4000. So a $10 bet on Opening Day would have pocketed $410 total if the Tigers end up winning the Fall Classic. They're now all the way down to +800, where a $10 bet would only win $90 total. But there's more. In World Series futures at BetMGM, the Tigers have the third-highest ticket at 8.2%, behind the Dodgers (14.1%) and the Phillies (9.3%). In the AL Central, they're the heavy favorites at -600, but also have the highest ticket (32.7%) and the highest handle (39.5%). When it comes to the team with the shortest odds to win the AL pennant, that's the Yankees at +200. But it's the Tigers with the highest ticket (24%), the highest handle (23.6%) and the team that is BetMGM's biggest liability. Let's take a closer look at Detroit's odds at BetMGM as of June 12. Tigers to have most regular-season wins: +450 (bet $10 to win $55 total) World Series: +800 (bet $10 to win $90 total) To win AL: +300 (bet $10 to win $40 total) To win AL Central: -550 (bet $10 to win $11.82 total) AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal: -220 (bet $10 to win $14.55 total) AL MVP winner Tarik Skubal: +10000 (bet $10 to win $1,010 total) So are the Tigers really worth backing, after barely sneaking into the 2024 postseason with an 86-76 record? FOX Sports MLB writer Rowan Kavner is "starting to believe," and that's largely because of Spencer Torkelson. "[He] looks primed for a career year for a team that desperately needed more infield pop from somewhere," Kavner wrote. "I don't think this is a top-five team, but I do think this is a top-10 team and the best club in the AL Central." FOX Sports' Deesha Thosar echoed a similar sentiment. "The Tigers look like the real deal, especially because they're the only team in the AL Central with a positive run differential," she noted. "Detroit's only legitimate threat to win the division is Cleveland, and even then, the way the Tigers are playing right now, I'm expecting them to enjoy another trip to the postseason. "The Tigers have a top-10 offense in baseball in terms of wRC+, and if they can sustain that level of dominance on both sides of the ball, then they might just have a deeper playoff run in their bones."
