Top-20 Richmond Prediction: 2018 Toyota Owners 400

Kyle Larson won last fall at Richmond.
As a Vegas bookmaker, Micah Roberts was the first to offer expanded NASCAR betting. Now he hands out NASCAR winners to his followers.

Last week, Roberts said Kyle Busch "owns this track" and would win for the seventh time at Bristol Motor Speedway. The result? Busch came from behind and crossed the finish line .63 seconds ahead of runner-up Kyle Larson.

Earlier this season at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Roberts told SportsLine readers to jump on Kevin Harvick, who had the same 9/2 odds as Martin Truex Jr. and Larson. Harvick dominated, leading for 181 of 325 laps and cruising to victory by 2.69 seconds. Roberts again was all over Harvick at Las Vegas as Harvick delivered another lopsided win. Two weeks ago, Roberts was very high on Clint Bowyer, who snapped his 190-race winless streak in the STP 500.

Roberts' uncanny picks come as no surprise. In the 2017 NASCAR playoffs, Roberts picked nine of the 10 winners. In 2016, Roberts told readers to back Denny Hamlin at 15/1 in the Daytona 500. The result? Hamlin edged Truex Jr. for the checkered flag. This is the same Roberts who nailed Hamlin at 40/1 to win at Watkins Glen later that year.

With the Toyota Owners 400 set for 6:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Richmond International Raceway, Roberts analyzed the entire field and released his Top 20 finishers in order. We can tell you he's not high on Truex, one of the Vegas favorites at 8/1, saying he has averaged just a 20th-place finish at Richmond. But Roberts loves a major sleeper who's tailor-made for this 3/4-mile flat layout. Anyone who bets on this underdog could hit it big...
