Expert Pick
As the reigning Anaheim 1 Champion, Chase Sexton clips the pack to grab our expert pick tag on opening weekend. Besides his strong performance in California, Sexton closed out the 2025 Supercross campaign with four wins in his final five appearances. He enters round one at +123, potentially paying $44.60 when you wager $20.00.
Odds for a Podium
“The Cowboy,” Aaron Plessinger delivered five rostrums between Daytona and East Rutherford last year. His best race came in Foxborough when he beat the field to the checkered flag for his first and only triumph of the campaign. However, he stuttered in both Anaheim appearances in 2025, ending ninth and 22nd respectively. On the contrary, Ken Roczen thrived at the Angel Stadium a year ago, crossing the line second in both outings. Outside of Anaheim, the German-American collected five additional top threes, including a first place return at Daytona Beach.
Last season tested Justin Cooper’s resilience and he passed with flying colors. He failed to podium in the first eight rounds of the year, but rebounded to close out the SX season with three consecutive rostrums, averaging 3.8 in the final five rounds. Malcolm Stewart is ready to roll after impressing at times last year, he collected top honors in Tampa and closed out his SX duties with a runner-up performance in Salt Lake City. The only blemish on his record in the previous season was a 13th place at Foxborough, otherwise ending every race inside of the top 10.
