While the Independence Day weekend in 2020 may lack the usual variety of sporting betting opportunities in West Virginia, the Rocket Mortgage Classic still provides bettors with some exciting action.
The Big Machine 400 is also offering some betting options at WV sportsbooks this weekend. Additionally, it is worth noting that this upcoming weekend marks the final one before the resumption of North American men’s club soccer.
Rocket Mortgage Classic boosts and odds on WV sports betting apps
The latest version of the PGA’s revised schedule is covered by all three mobile sports betting apps in WV. They offer exclusive limited-time promotions alongside.
BetMGM Sportsbook WV is offering enhanced odds on a market featuring seven contenders in the field. The bets are centered around whether the listed players will complete the first round without a bogey. Bryson DeChambeau is favored with the lowest odds of +300, while Brendon Todd has the least favorable odds at +600.
The Detroit Golf Club is hosting the first round of play, and DraftKings Sportsbook WV has an exclusive offer for this event.
Last week’s RBC Heritage saw the sportsbook offer an identical 30% profit boost, and the same is available now.
While FanDuel Sportsbook doesn’t have any promotions specifically for this weekend’s golf tournament, they do have a wide range of prop bets available. Currently, you can place a bet on Rickie Fowler at +500 odds to be the leader after the first round on their online platform.
Predicting the outcome of this event might be challenging due to the lack of top-ranked players participating. With only half of the top 20 players in the FedEx Cup standings taking part this weekend, lesser-known golfers have a greater chance to excel, potentially surprising bettors.
Nate Lashley, the 2019 champion, is participating in the event. However, his hopes of retaining the title seem uncertain as he failed to make the cut in both the Charles Schwab Challenge and RBC Heritage.
Despite Lashley’s recent lack of success, DeChambeau is currently one of the most successful golfers worldwide. He has achieved top 10 finishes in the last three PGA Tour events. Nevertheless, another golfer with impressive metrics might also attract the attention of bettors.
Webb Simpson is currently considered the top player in the PGA when it comes to the short game on Bermuda grass. Additionally, he recently secured a victory at the RBC Heritage tournament. As a result, all three WV sports betting apps have identified Simpson and his recent triumph, making him and another contender the favorites with the lowest odds. DraftKings specifically lists them as co-favorites with odds of +600.
NASCAR’s biggest names take center stage at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, located just south of Detroit, becoming the next hotspot for betting action. Differing from the Rocket Mortgage Classic, this event draws all the attention with its star-studded lineup.
Big Machine 400 lines and markets at WV sportsbooks
On Independence Day weekend, the Big Machine Hand Sanitizer 400 race will give a driver the chance to kiss the iconic bricks. Likewise, savvy sports betting enthusiasts from West Virginia may feel inclined to give their phones a kiss on Sunday.
Kevin Harvick is the favored driver to win according to both BetMGM and DraftKings, with odds of +400. FanDuel, on the other hand, considers Harvick and Denny Hamlin as co-favorites at +450. This is not surprising given Harvick’s impressive performance.
Harvick has a total of two victories at the Brickyard on his career record, with one of them being achieved just last year. But what’s even more significant is his remarkable performance this season, having secured three wins under conditions similar to those expected on Sunday.
Hamlin’s outstanding performance this season, with four wins and nine top-five finishes, makes him the top contender to challenge Harvick. However, when it comes to his track record at the Brickyard, Hamlin’s performance has been less impressive. In the 14 races he has competed in at this track, he has averaged a 12th place finish.
There are no promotions available for the Big Machine 400 on WV mobile sports betting apps. However, BetMGM offers various race props, such as predicting the winning car number and whether the winner will lead both stages.
The distinction of being the premier men’s sporting events in North America this weekend may soon be challenged by NASCAR and the PGA.
MLS is Back futures for WV sports bettors
Starting on Wednesday, Major League Soccer is scheduled to tentatively resume its 2020 season. In addition to futures, all three WV sports betting apps provide lines for the initial days of matches.
In the month-long MLS is Back tournament held in Orlando, FL, three regional clubs, namely FC Cincinnati, the Columbus Crew, and the Philadelphia Union, participate. Nonetheless, these clubs hold distinct positions within their respective markets.
The tournament for the Union kicks off on Thursday, July 9 against New York City FC. The odds for either team to win the match are currently quite low, with only FanDuel giving Philadelphia a slight advantage.
On July 11, the Columbus Crew and FC Cincinnati will go head-to-head as they embark on their respective journeys. According to all three books, Columbus is currently the strong frontrunner to emerge victorious in this match.
This weekend, the Rocket Mortgage Classic and Big Machine 400 both have clear frontrunners. West Virginia sports bettors face a choice between opting for the safer bets or embracing more daring risks.
