Kyle Larson can become the third driver to win three straight races at Watkins Glen when he races in Sunday's 2023 Go Bowling at The Glen at 3 p.m. ET. Larson has been in the top eight in four straight races at this track and owns seven top-10 finishes over his last 10 races overall. He is 5-1 in the 2023 NASCAR at Watkins Glen odds, sitting behind Chase Elliott (7-2). Tyler Reddick (15-2) won at Road America and Indianapolis last year and is tied for the third-most points on road courses in 2023. Martin Truex Jr. (7-1) is one of the other 2023 Go Bowling at The Glen contenders after posting four top-three finishes in his last five Watkins Glen starts. Should you include him in your NASCAR bets? 

Before scouring the 2023 Go Bowling at The Glen starting lineup and making any 2023 NASCAR at Watkins Glen predictions, be sure to see the latest 2023 NASCAR Watkins Glen picks from SportsLine's proven NASCAR model.

Developed by daily Fantasy pro and SportsLine predictive data engineer Mike McClure, this proprietary NASCAR prediction model simulates every race 10,000 times, taking into account factors such as track history and recent results.

McClure's model is off to a red-hot start this season, already nailing Martin Truex Jr.'s Clash win (20-1) as well as his win in New Hampshire (11-2), Joey Logano's Duel win (8-1), Kyle Busch's Fontana victory (10-1), Denny Hamlin's triumph in Kansas (6-1) and Kyle Larson's wins at Martinsville (6-1) and the NASCAR All-Star Race (13-2). In Austin, it listed Tyler Reddick as one of its best values and he went on to win for a 10-1 payout. It also impressively nailed five of Larson's wins during his historic season in 2021. 

All told, the model has nailed a whopping 13 winners since 2021. Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks saw huge returns.

Top 2023 Go Bowling at The Glen predictions

For the 2023 Go Bowling at The Glen, the model is high on Denny Hamlin, even though he's an 18-1 longshot in the latest 2023 NASCAR at Watkins Glen odds. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Hamlin ranks second in the Cup Series standings, racking up 11 top-10s in 24 races this season.

He won at Pocono last month before finishing second at Richmond and third at Michigan in the next two races. Hamlin also notched a win at Kansas earlier this year and has eight top-five finishes in 2023, making him a serious contender in nearly half of this season's races. The model expects Hamlin to contend again this weekend, bringing value at longshot NASCAR odds. See who else to back at SportsLine.

And a massive shocker: The model says Tyler Reddick, one of the Vegas favorites at 8-1, stumbles big-time and fails to crack the top five. There are far better values in the 2023 Go Bowling at The Glen starting lineup. After earning the first three wins of his career during the 2022 NASCAR season, Reddick has punched his ticket into the NASCAR Playoffs with another win this season, but it's been a rollercoaster overall.

He's finished outside the top 10 in 14 of his 24 starts so far and landed outside the top 15 in eight of his last 12 starts. Reddick has proven himself to be a capable road racer, but he's only led two laps in two Cup starts at Watkins Glen. There's not much track history to suggest he's earned his status as one of the favorites this week. See which other drivers to avoid at SportsLine.
