When: April 25–27, 2025 Where: Circuito de Jerez – Ángel Nieto, Jerez, Spain Where to Watch: Live on MotoGP VideoPass Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
The 2025 MotoGP season touches down on the European continent for the first time this season, as the series heads to Jerez. Home favorite Marc Marquez enters his National Grand Prix with three wins in four races under the bike. The six-time MotoGP Champion is searching for his first triumph at the Angel Nieto Circuit since 2019, the last year that he topped the rider standings.
Francesco Bagnaia lines up in search of his fourth consecutive success in Jerez. The Italian has finished off the podium in one race this season, handing him an average finish of 2.5 in four starts. “Pecco” triumphed in Austin in round three, the only race that Marc failed to complete this season.
Ducati wishes to retain the status quo in Spain this weekend. The Bologna outfit has provided the winning bike since 2021, three times courtesy of “Pecco” and one from Jack Miller. Keep an eye on the younger Marquez brother who also has three podiums to his name this season, and starts his home race sitting second in the Championship.
Free Practice 2: 10:10 a.m. – 10:40 a.m. Qualifying 1: 10:50 a.m. – 11:05 a.m. Qualifying 2: 11:15 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Tissot Sprint: 3:00 p.m.
Sunday, April 27:
Race: 2:00 p.m.
Expert Pick
Series leader Marc Marquez earns our nomination for expert pick with three wins under the bike this season. “The Ant of Cervera” has three Spanish GP titles under his belt and is in the form to add a fourth. His odds are short at -350, offering a potential payout of $25.71, but he has proven largely unstoppable in this campaign.
AMA Supercross Round 15 Pittsburgh
When: Saturday, April 26, 2025 Where: Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh, PA Where to Watch: Live on Peacock Where to Bet: With ourPartnered Sportsbooks
Three rounds remain in the 2025 Supercross series, and the title fight is going down to the wire between Cooper Webb and Chase Sexton. The series makes its first appearance in “The Steel City” since 1983, when Broc Glover took home the spoils.
Sexton is on a hot streak with three wins in his last five starts, including two on the trot. His current form leaves him only nine points short of Webb at the top, and a strong showing in Pennsylvania could catapult him into the lead. The KTM rider already tasted victory in the state when he triumphed in Philadelphia a fortnight ago.
Aaron Plessinger continues his impressive run at the backend of the season, lining up with four podiums in his previous five races. Not bad for a rider who struggled to break into the top five until the Daytona Beach round. Suzuki rider Ken Roczen remains in third in the Championship Standings, after finishing outside the top five in only three rounds this campaign.
Key Times (ET):
Practice: 12:00 p.m. Qualifying: 1:00 p.m. Main Event: 7:00 p.m.
Expert Pick
Chase Sexton gets the nod over Cooper Webb for our expert pick this weekend, given his sublime form. The KTM rider has taken top honors in three of the last five rounds and carries odds of +175 to the start line, which offers a potential return of $55 for a $20 wager.
“Mr. 90 Points” Dalton Kasel is making the 2025 UTB series all about him, winning his fifth buckle of the season last weekend in Nampa. The Austin Gamblers’ high roller leads the series by 187 points heading into the regular season finale. More impressive than his five wins is the fact that he has earned four of them in his last seven appearances.
After a quiet season, PBR legend Jose Vitor Leme is finding form after holding on for three top 10s in as many starts. The Brazilian collected his second podium of the year in Nampa last weekend, after winning the Ontario leg back in November last year.
John Crimber started the season hot and was the rider to beat in the early stages, but he fell off midway through the season. He has clawed his way back into contention with eight consecutive trips to the Championship round, ending the weekend inside the top 10 in four of them.
Key Times (PT):
Saturday, April 26: Event Start: 6:45 p.m. Sunday, April 27: Event Start: 1:45 p.m.
Expert Pick
It’s challenging to bet against Dalton Kasel at this point in time, with four wins in seven starts. “Mr 90 Points” earns our nomination as the expert pick heading into the regular season finale. Dalton sits at +800 with a potential payout of $180 for a $20 stake.

Seasoned UFC fighter Chris Camozzi earns his second shot at a title with the gloves off, after falling short to Lorenzo Hunt via a split decision in 2023. Camozzi meets local brawler Andrea Bicchi in Florence to contest the vacant cruiserweight belt.
Jimmy Sweeney is a legend in the sport of bare-knuckle fighting, but the Irishman has yet to test himself inside the squared circle. “King” faces a resilient Rico Franco in the co-main event as he looks to taste success in his maiden BKFC outing.
A brutal heavyweight bout warms us up for the main events when the highly discussed Haze Hepi makes his debut in the Championship. The Australian squares off against Steve Banks who has prevailed in 67% of his BKFC fights, losing two of his previous three encounters.
Key Time (GMT+2):
Fight Start: 7:00 p.m.

Jimmy Sweeney takes the honors as our expert pick for BKFC 73 after a decorated career in other leagues. The Irishman has prevailed in 82.6% of his fights before leaping into the squared circle. Sweeney is priced at -143 in the build-up to Florence, offering a possible payout of $33.99.
World of Outlaws: Alabama Gang 100
When: April 25–26, 2025 Where: Talladega Short Track, Eastaboga, AL Where to Watch: Live on DIRTVision Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks
The World of Outlaws Late Models head south to the Talladega Short Track for the first 100-lap race of the season. Bobby Pierce lines up as the series leader after powering home to four podiums in 10 events this year. Pierce crossed the line in second on day two of the Illini 100 behind Brandon Sheppard to ensure a 66-point lead in the series heading into Alabama.
Ryan Gustin offers outstanding value for money at +1026, despite collecting three podiums this year, including two wins. The Iowan struggled in Illinois, ending both Features outside the top 10, but he lines up at the Talladega Short Track with two podiums under the hood in his previous four races.
Drake Troutman is another driver keeping himself in the title hunt this year, sitting in fourth on the table. The Hyndham local now boasts four top-five returns in his last six starts, including three podiums.
Bobby Pierce is our top choice for the Alabama Gang 100, lining up at the Talladega Short Track with three podiums in his last five starts, including two wins. The Illinois native starts the race at +265 with a potential payout of $73 on a $20 bet.

The World of Outlaws sprint car series continues its razzle in the Midwest as the “Greatest Show on Dirt” takes on Jacksonville Speedway. David Gravel remains the driver to beat.. He finished outside the top five in his last two starts, but has accumulated 11 podiums this year, crossing the line in 2.81 on average.
Carson Macedo endured a torrid visit to Knoxville Raceway, ending the night in 27th, only his second result outside of the top 10 this year. Before firing up at Knoxville, Macedo finished three consecutive races inside the top two, winning on the first day of the Spring Classic. The Californian owns seven podiums this campaign, triumphing on two occasions.
Logan Schuchart delivers the best value for money in the field with longshot odds of +1876. Despite his odds, Logan has racked up seven podiums in 2025, including a win, and an average finishing position of 4.81.
Key Times (CT):

The 2025 USAC Midget Cars series accelerates into action on Friday, April 25th, as Daison Pursley looks to retain the crown he won at this venue a year ago. Pursley is the reigning series Champion, but will not compete in the series full-time this season to test his talents elsewhere.
Cannon McIntosh lines up on the Kokomo Speedway as a previous winner, a feat he accomplished in 2022. McIntosh came up short in the series last time out, finishing runner-up to Daison in the Championship. With Pursley absent for most of the calendar, McIntosh is one of the racers to beat this year.
Justin Grant announced last year that he would dedicate his energy to the Midget Car series this time, as he hunts the USAC Triple Crown. Grant has captured 11 races in his career, but is yet to succeed at Kokomo.
Key Time (ET):
