Pick 1: Rapidfire Time Pick The Correct Drivers
Kyle Larson is just the best driver right now on NASCAR. He does not fare quite as well on the 450 HP setup. However, Larson does have a couple of things working against him for this race on Saturday night. One of them is simply this. Larson only needs a handful of points to clinch the regular-season points title. It is a matter of pride for the Hendricks Motorsports Racing driver. Larson can sit there and lead a few laps early then coast back a bit to hopefully avoid the inevitable wrecks.
For Brad Keselowski, this is a different story. He has even more reason to not care much about this race. Despite that, the Team Penske car has just tender to be a major pain for some drivers the past few weeks. Just ask Austin Dillon about last week's race. All one will hear is a bunch of loud expletives. Again, Keselowski could be dangerous but might race aggressive enough to keep this prop very close.
Then, there is the ultimate risk between Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin. Both drivers have some definite success at the Daytona 500. However, that summer race lately has been tough for both of them. Logano and Hamlin have finished 17th or worse in the summer race four of the last five times. Each one has crashed some and Logano has in three consecutive summer races. Getting that 1.5 points are huge here. Logano has a bit to prove here considering the crashes. He needs to charge up the field early while Hamlin may slip back. This works in the No. 22's favor on Saturday night.
Larson getting any plus points is amazing in itself. The No. 5 car is worth a shot there as well. Take Larson and Logano and you should not take an L on Saturday night.
RapidFire Picks: Kyle Larson (+0.5) over Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano (+1.5) over Denny Hamlin

Pick 2: More or Less Fantasy Points (2/2)
Recommended Prop Pick: Denny Hamlin LESS 15.5 Fantasy Points, Joey Logano MORE 14.5 Fantasy Points
This prop is a fun one because who knows how this week could turn out. Hell, Joey Logano might finish in the top-five out of spite on Saturday night.
Luck has not been kind lately to either as we said. However, the feeling is Hamlin is going to lead some laps and that is going to make things dicey for this prop at best. This is a week to take risks because yes, next week again is when the playoffs start. Hamlin does not have to win but Logano has a bit more urgency to right the wrongs of Daytona's past. It will be quite close but the No. 11 should come up short. Take the LESS here.
These point totals are interesting with Joey Logano. He should find his way to the front this week even with starting all the way down at 22nd. That might give him some motivation that was not previously there in the past few races. The Team Penske driver is well into "The Chase" but may try for some extra playoff points anyway. It is a race where "stack from the back" applies. Do not be surprised if Logano even sneaks in a few laps led. There are 160 of them so one never knows. That is part of why that low number of 14.5 could be in danger. Take the MORE anyway here.
