homestead xfinity 2

Straight to the point. Here's your cash game, 50/50 playbook:

Salary Savers ($6k and under)
Only three guys are even remotely playable in cash games here. In this order:

• B.J. McLeod - insanely low price continues and now starts 26th
• Vinnie Miller - contact ended day early on Saturday; should be a Top 30 car
• Chad Finchum - could move up a few spots, but having lots of issues lately
• Kody Vanderwal - might be tempting starting 37th, but I'm not using him -- slow, unreliable and going to a back up car that probably isn't very good at all

Mid-Tier ($6k-$9k)
Again, not much here. Many will be going backwards from their starting spot.

• Ryan Sieg - not sure what happened to him late on Saturday; love the 28th starting spot for cash games
• Anthony Alfredo - might be the only guy in this tier who has a chance of scoring a + position difference

Top Tier ($9k+)
Rough ranking here considering overall risk, dominator and position difference potential:

• Chase Briscoe - fastest car on Saturday with 39 fastest laps (compared to 27 for Gragson and 17 for Cindric); expect Top 5 finish with laps led and fastest laps
• A.J. Allmendinger - starts 38th and has +30 position difference upside; ran relatively well at this track throughout his Cup Series career - do not expect laps led or more than 5 or so fastest laps; maybe too expensive to make it all work together?
• Justin Allgaier - starts 32 and has +25 position difference upside; not the greatest here or at 1.5 mile tracks in general -- ranked over Gragson and Cindric only because of the risks those two guys carry with them
• Noah Gragson - really ran well along the wall on Saturday; worried at some point he slams it too hard and damages the car or cuts a tire; can he come close repeating the laps led if Briscoe is now up there with him?
• Austin Cindric - he's led at least 24 laps and run at least 17 fastest laps in every race at a 1.5 mile track this season; car seems to start off the race really fast but then tail off as the race goes on; if they're not making good adjustments throughout the race, it will hurt him in race two if others are continuing to improve their cars
• Harrison Burton - I'd be surprised if he leads laps or gets many fastest laps, but should run in the Top 8 with +10 position difference upside and is cheaper then the rest of this group

Bets

• Annett -115 Herbst
• Clements -115 Snyder
• Briscoe +175 to win ??? -- I think Briscoe wins, but want better then +175
