(Note: In American sports betting, odds are typically expressed with a plus (+) or minus (–) symbol followed by a number. For example, +200 signifies the amount a bettor could win if wagering $100. If the bet works out, the player will receive a total payout of $300; $200 profit + $100 initial stake.)

TOP FUEL

Shawn Langdon is a big favorite to win his second NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series Top Fuel title, and he's also a favorite to win in Pomona, according to the Play NHRA Oddsmakers. 

The initial posted odds make Langdon the clear Top Fuel favorite at +209, ahead of teammate Doug Kalitta (+630) and four-time champ Antron Brown (+910). 
Justin Ashley, Tony Stewart, Will Smith, and Maddi Gordon form a closely packed next tier, all priced between +967 and +1034. 

Eight-time world champ Tony Schumacher (+2363), who has authored some of the most historic moments of his career in Pomona, is one of the more interesting long shots in the 17-car Top Fuel field.

FUNNY CAR

Funny Car is led by incoming leader and four-time world champ Matt Hagan at +364, with two-time champ Austin Prock (+596) and title contender Jordan Vandergriff (+655) next. 

Hometown favorite Jack Beckman (+751) follows, with J.R. Todd and Ron Capps at +957 and +1066. Also of note is the price tag of +2930 on two-time champ Cruz Pedregon, who has won in Pomona on several occasions and has made some great runs this month with his Snap-on Toyota.

For those seeking longshot value, the long tail stretches to several drivers above +7000, including Cory Lee, Dave Richards, Jeff Diehl, Julie Nataas, and Jim Campbell.

PRO STOCK

In Pro Stock, Dallas Glenn is the shortest price at +274, followed by six-time champ Greg Anderson at +438. Greg Stanfield (+835), Cody Anderson (+898), and Matt Hartford (+902) are grouped behind them, with Erica Enders at +1096. Enders is still seeking her first win of the season, but her JHG Camaro remains one of the most competitive cars in the field.

Dave Connolly will be subbing for Eric Latino at this event, and he carries an initial price of +1769, which is sure to attract some interest. 

PRO STOCK MOTORCYCLE

Pro Stock Motorcycle offers the closest top tier, with incoming leaders Richard Gadson (+450), six-time champ Matt Smith (+489), and fellow contender Gaige Herrera (+521) tightly bunched. 

Ryan Oehler (+665) and Joey Gladstone (+867) are the next names in line, while Angie Smith (+889), John Hall (+1124), and Chase Van Sant (+1211) represent value picks. As for long shots, Steve Johnson, who has been very quick at several events recently, opened at +1884.
