Now, we'll turn you over to Brian:
For example I don't mention for Scott Dixon, below. This is not because I don't Scott Dixon is capable of winning, rather that I don't think Dixon is as attractive a selection as the ones below relative to the odds offered. Here goes.
Carpenter, 12/1
I imagine this number will go down once Carpenter qualifies on the front row again, this weekend. Also, Ed was in good position to win last year and with a little luck can seal the deal this year.
Munoz, 18/1
The young Colombian has run two Indy 500s, and spent the majority of both races running in the top-5. He's also been quick so far in practice, turning a 230-mile per hour lap with a tow, which would indicate his car is good in traffic. If Honda brings the goods, make no mistake: Munoz is a contender for the win.
Bell, 50/1
It's hard to say how Bell's Indy 500-only team will perform. And in a 500-mile race with 7-8 pits stops, a team's weaknesses will be exposed. Still, Bell showed last year has the pure speed to win in a one-off effort. And if he can keep the run together for 500 miles…
Rahal, 50/1
Anyone who has watched Indy car racing of late knows how strong Rahal has been. This is the best value on the board.
If I was to take one of the favorite amongst Montoya, Castroneves, Power, Dixon and Kanaan I'd go with…
Montoya, 11/2
Yes, you will pay a premium to wager on JPM. But of all the Penske and Ganassi cars he was the best in the three 500-milers last season, and is in my opinion rightly positioned as the favorite to win.
