Nevertheless, Phoenix will host a compelling event, with the number of race weekends remaining ticking down. Qualifying has historically been important, though things have opened up a bit in the past few races at the Raceway, with Allgaier winning from 17th this spring and none of the last three winners starting inside the top five.<\/p>\n<p>This also isn&#8217;t a track where we&#8217;ve seen one driver dominate, with no repeat winners in the last 10 races. There has also been plenty of parity among manufacturers, so there aren&#8217;t many macro trends to look to when building DFS lineups or betting cards.<\/p>\n<p>NASCAR O&#8217;Reilly Auto Parts Series DFS Tools \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/daily\/racing\/optimizer.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NASCAR Lineup Optimizer<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/daily\/racing\/value-report.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NASCAR Projections<\/a><\/p>\n<p>DraftKings Values for the Timberland PRO 200<\/p>\n<p>Based on a Standard $50K Salary Cap<\/p>\n<p>Tier 1 DraftKings Values<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/justin-allgaier-566\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Justin Allgaier<\/a> &#8211; $13,000<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/jesse-love-1039\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jesse Love<\/a> &#8211; $11,500<\/p>\n<p>Tier 2 DraftKings Values<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/carson-kvapil-1062\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Carson Kvapil<\/a> &#8211; $10,500<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/corey-day-1095\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Corey Day<\/a> &#8211; $10,000<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/sheldon-creed-882\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sheldon Creed<\/a> &#8211; $9,800<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/sam-mayer-936\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sam Mayer<\/a> &#8211; $8,800<\/p>\n<p>Tier 3 DraftKings Values<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/taylor-gray-1012\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Taylor Gray<\/a> &#8211; $8,500<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/brandon-jones-689\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brandon Jones<\/a> &#8211; $8,300<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/rajah-caruth-1005\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rajah Caruth<\/a> &#8211; $8,000<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/ryan-sieg-601\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ryan Sieg<\/a> &#8211; $7,800<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/william-sawalich-1037\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">William Sawalich<\/a> &#8211; $7,500<\/p>\n<p>Tier 4 DraftKings Values<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/anthony-alfredo-884\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Anthony Alfredo<\/a> &#8211; $7,000<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/dean-thompson-1011\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dean Thompson<\/a>&#8211; $6,600<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/brennan-poole-708\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brennan Poole<\/a> &#8211; $6,500<\/p>\n<p>Optimal DraftKings Lineup for the Timberland PRO 200<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/jesse-love-1039\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jesse Love<\/a> &#8211; $11,500<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/sam-mayer-936\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sam Mayer<\/a> &#8211; $8,800<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/taylor-gray-1012\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Taylor Gray<\/a> &#8211; $8,500<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/william-sawalich-1037\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">William Sawalich<\/a> &#8211; $7,500<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/anthony-alfredo-884\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Anthony Alfredo<\/a> &#8211; $7,000<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/brennan-poole-708\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brennan Poole<\/a> &#8211; $6,500<\/p>\n<p>Love and Allgaier are comparable in their results at Phoenix and both are good options to build through. Each has regularly finished inside the top five, but Love is the better value option due to his price. That duo stands above the rest, but Tier 2 is also full of strong options.<\/p>\n<p>Day doesn&#8217;t necessarily have the track record at Phoenix, but his pace is clear after the last two weekends. Creed and Mayer are arguably Tier 1 options, but they are priced very reasonably. An alternative to Allgaier and Love is building through two drivers in Tier 2. Mayer has finished seventh and fifth in his last two races at Phoenix, and he qualified eighth in the race prior to that. Put another way, he&#8217;s had consistent speed. Creed is his typical solid self, finishing inside the top 10 in six of his last seven races at the raceway.<\/p>\n<p>Gray, Sawalich and Caruth have the chance to be the key values. Gray has shown elite speed over one lap at Phoenix. If he can string together some consistency, he&#8217;s a darkhorse potential race winner. \u00a0Sawalich is similar. In three races, he&#8217;s qualified sixth and first, but the finishes also haven&#8217;t come. Finally, Caruth has spent most of his three races at Phoenix running inside the top 15, which is solid value for his price.<\/p>\n<p>Alfredo and Poole have been key values this season and are some of the better potential punt options.<\/p>\n<p>Best Bets for the Timberland PRO 200<\/p>\n<p>Odds via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/betting\/f1\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a> as of 12:00 AM ET Saturday<\/p>\n<p>Race Winner \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/jesse-love-1039\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jesse Love<\/a> (+450), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/taylor-gray-1012\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Taylor Gray<\/a> (+1500)<\/p>\n<p>Top-Five Finisher- <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/jesse-love-1039\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jesse Love<\/a> (-165), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/sheldon-creed-882\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sheldon Creed<\/a> (+100), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/taylor-gray-1012\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Taylor Gray<\/a> (+200)<\/p>\n<p>Head-to-Head Matchups<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/brandon-jones-689\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brandon Jones<\/a> (-120) vs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/sammy-smith-1019\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sammy Smith<\/a> (-110)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/brent-crews-1114\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brent Crews<\/a> (-135) vs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/sam-mayer-936\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sam Mayer<\/a> (+100)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/jesse-love-1039\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jesse Love<\/a> (-120) vs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/racing\/player\/carson-kvapil-1062\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Carson Kvapil<\/a> (-110)<\/p>\n<p>Much like was discussed in the DFS section, Allgaier and Love are the favorites to win the race and in all other race lines. Also like DFS, Love checks in at the better price and is the top option. Racing is a high-variance sport, but Creed is the closest possible &#8220;safe&#8221; driver.<\/p>\n<p>Jones is one driver not mentioned in the DFS section that should be in strong consideration in both contexts. He finished fourth in last year&#8217;s fall race at Phoenix, and he started the spring race in third. He&#8217;s also worth considering as a top-five finisher (+225), though that is more of a longshot bet.<\/p>\n<p>Mapping out your wagers for the NASCAR O&#8217;Reilly Auto Parts Series race?
