And then there were four.
Following an exciting race last weekend at Martinsville that saw championship favorites Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. get eliminated from playoff contention, Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell, William Byron and Ryan Blaney have earned the right to duke it out for the title on Sunday at Phoenix (3 p.m. ET, NBC).
While all eyes will be on the Championship 4, there is still a full field of drivers looking to end the season on a high note, meaning the entire NASCAR odds menu is available for Phoenix as well.
And because NASCAR odds for Phoenix are so top-heavy with the championship contenders, there's increased value down the board, especially in the prop markets, which is exactly where I'm looking before cars hit the track for practice on Friday night.
NASCAR Pick for Phoenix
*NASCAR odds as of Friday
Chase Briscoe has been a beast at Phoenix in the Next Gen car.
In March of last year, Briscoe earned his lone Cup Series win and has followed that up with finishes of fourth and seventh, giving the Stewart-Haas driver the second-best average finish over those three races.
It's important to note that Briscoe hasn't just stolen good finishes, either.
Since 2022, the driver of the No. 14 Ford has posted the fourth-best average running position and the fourth-best driver rating at Phoenix, which shows that he's been a top-five car when NASCAR visits this track.
However, despite his recent success at Phoenix, I'm not dabbling on outright NASCAR odds.
Instead, I'm pivoting to the +240 price for Briscoe to score a top-10 finish in Sunday's NASCAR season finale.
The bet:Chase Briscoe for a Top-10 Finish (+240 at bet365)
