INDIANAPOLIS – Drivers will make strong arguments for why they’re the best, and teams will summarize why they have the fastest cars. But the real question surrounding the Indy 500 is which driver does Vegas project as the winner on Sunday?

Three days before the IndyCar Series’ most prestigious race, pole winner Scott Dixon is the favorite to claim victory at the 101st running of the Indy 500, according to VegasInsider.com via sportsbook.ag.

Winning the Indy 500 pole for the third time in his 15 years in IndyCar, the Chip Ganassi Racing driver had the race’s best qualifying time in 21 years – with a 232.164-miles per hour, four-lap average – and has 6-to-1 odds to win. That’s good news for the New Zealand driver, who won the Indy 500 after claiming the pole back in 2008 and finished fourth in 2015.

Spanish Formula One driver Fernando Alonso is next in line with 8-to-1 odds, which isn’t too shabby for the first-time IndyCar driver. Although he’s no racing rookie.

After the top two most likely winners, the 9-to-1 odds group is a little crowded with Helio Castroneves, Juan Pablo Montoya, Marco Andretti, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Tony Kanaan all sitting together. Last year’s surprise winner, Alexander Rossi, isn’t looking great to repeat with just 22-to-1 odds.

Of course, the data out of Vegas could easily change in the next 72 hours, but it’s a good bet they won’t change by much.

Predicting the winner of the Indy 500 based on the odds is as tricky as ever in 2020, when the Greatest Spectacle in Racing is running in August for the first time in its 104-year history. The 2.5-mile oval track will be hot and slick, and wind will be unpredictable.

On top of that, recent Indy 500 history is not necessarily helpful. The last nine Indy 500s have produced nine different winners. This is the result of the endless variables that determine who will get to drink the milk in victory lane.

This year’s Indy 500 is running a few months behind schedule because the COVID-19 pandemic made a traditional May race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway impossible. The 2020 IndyCar schedule didn’t start until early June with a race at Texas, and the Indy 500 is the seventh race on that schedule.

Below are the complete Vegas odds to win the Indy 500 in 2020, plus our top three picks of drivers who could end up taking the checkered flag.

Indy 500 odds to win 2020 race

Scott Dixon is the favorite to win the 2020 Indy 500 in part because he showed so much speed in last weekend’s qualifying sessions. He qualified second behind pole-sitter Marco Andretti, but only after Andretti edged him by .017 mph, the third-closest margin in the history of Indianapolis qualifying.

Below are the complete odds to win the Indy 500 in 2020, courtesy of Sports Insider.

Of the top five drivers on the Indy 500 odds board, only Josef Newgarden will start the race outside the top 10. Newgarden will start 13th after failing to advance to the Fast Nine Shootout.

Alexander Rossi will start the Indy 500 ninth, and Ryan Hunter-Reay will start fifth.

Simon Pagenaud, the winner of last year’s Indy 500 who ranks sixth on the odds board for this year’s race, will start way back in 25th.

Indy 500 expert picks

1. Scott Dixon

Vegas Odds To Win Indy 500 Race

Dixon is the IndyCar Series points leader in 2020 with three wins in six races. He also is due for an Indy 500 victory after last winning the series’ biggest race back in 2008.

The speed in Dixon’s car was made evident by his qualifying sessions, as he nearly edged Andretti for the Indy 500 pole. It was evident in the season-opener at Texas Motor Speedway, too, which is the only somewhat comparable track on which the series has raced this season. Dixon led 157 of the 200 laps on his way to a win that night.

2. Josef Newgarden

We have to pick at least one Team Penske driver to win Sunday’s Indy 500, as the Penske stable has produced the last two Indy 500 winners — Pagenaud last year and Will Power in 2018.

Newgarden has never won an Indy 500, but he is third in the IndyCar points standings and has a series-high three poles this season. His team has the speed required to win the Indy 500, something that was made clear when he led 214 of 250 laps at Iowa Speedway in the series’ latest race.

3. Graham Rahal

Vegas Odds To Win Indy 500 Odds

This is our upset pick. Rahal has never won an Indy 500 in 12 starts, and his best finish is third. He is sixth in IndyCar Series points, and his eighth-place starting position suggests he has good speed. It’s his best starting position for an Indy 500 since he started seventh and finished 12th in 2010.

A Rahal finishing first in an Indy 500 that started with an Andretti in first would be fitting.
