Indianapolis 500 favorites: Bet on Alex Palou (+600 or better)
The Spaniard captured the pole position at the IMS oval and has received top odds, by a smidge, entering Sunday's race.
The 2021 IndyCar Series winner has appeared in three Indianapolis 500 races, with his best finish coming two years ago (second). He finished the Indy 500 in ninth, after leading 47 laps.
It's easy to see why Palou, a driver in his prime, finds himself among the Indianapolis 500 favorites.
Indianapolis 500 long shots: Bet on Helio Castroneves odds (+5500 or better)
Few drivers have had more success at Indianapolis Motor Speedway than Helio Castroneves. The Brazilian racing legend offers big upside as a Indianapolis 500 long shot.
Castroneves and the Meyer Shank Racing team have been up and down recently, but the 48-year-old driver has dominated in his career at the IMS oval, winning four times. His most recent victory here was in 2021.
Dixon has driven well at the IMS oval in his career, with three runner-up finishes and a history as one of the top Indy 500 qualifiers ever.
