Odds taken Nov. 13.
Hop On Harvick
Harvick was consistently the best driver of the championship contenders on the three high-tire-wear tracks this season with 177 laps led and an average finish of 7.3. The 2014 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion clinched his title with a victory at Homestead that season.
In terms of the Miami Speedway, specifically, Harvick has posted the best average finish of the “Championship 4” group over the past 14 races here. Over his last five starts at Homestead, he has finished no worse than fourth along with a win. He’s finished in the Top 10 in each of his last 11 starts here, too.
Trust In Truex Jr.
If there is one driver I feel confident can challenge Harvick in Miami, it’s Truex Jr. The driver of the No. 19 Toyota has consistently been one of the best on the circuit this season, leading the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series with seven victories.
After finishing in the top-six in each of his last four races, including a dominant win at Martinsville, the 2017 Cup champion has an excellent opportunity to take home another title. He has a win and a runner-up in his last two starts here, but finished 12th or worse in his three previous outings at Miami.
Bet On Brad Keselowski For A Top-10 Finish
While the best approach to betting this season finale seems to be to target drivers in championship contention, this week’s race winner doesn’t necessarily have to come out of the final four pool.
Keselowski hasn’t won since picking up a victory in Kansas back in May, but he has come close a number of times since, including four Top 5 finishes in his last nine starts. Keselowski has finished sixth or better in five of his last six outings here. He’s worth a look for a top 10 prop.
Past Five Winners at Ford EcoBoost 400
| Year | Winning Driver |
|---|---|
| 2018 | Joey Logano |
| 2017 | Martin Truex Jr. |
| 2016 | Jimmie Johnson |
| 2015 | Kyle Busch |
| 2014 | Kevin Harvick |
Avoid Hamlin
As good as Hamlin has been this season, we are fading him this week for a few reasons. First of all, Harvick and Truex Jr. are each more appealing as betting options among the favorites to win. Second, Hamlin has the worst average driver finish here of the Championship 4.
He’s had some great starting spots of late, having the pole position in three of the last four races at Miami, but he still didn’t finish better than ninth in those outings. I’m not expecting him to do better this week.
