Southwick Motocross betting, predictions, odds, picks, lines: Justin Cooper's odds stabilized
Last week in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania, Jett proved that even when things do not go his way in the outdoor series, he remains untouchable in terms of the overall win. He was caught off guard when rain fell at the gate drop of the second moto, and an overabundance of caution dropped him into a battle for 10th in the first turn. Jett's confidence is at an astronomical level, as he has lost only one overall outdoor National in the three years he's raced in the 450 Pro Motocross series. He kept his emotions in check and steadily rode through the field to third just prior to the race being red-flagged with seven minutes remaining on the clock.
Meanwhile, Jett's odds to win the championship skyrocketed to -1127 compared to Tomac's +546. Jett has a 28-point lead over the competition, which is more than one moto. Look for that gap to continue to grow until Tomac trims points away from the presumptive champion in consecutive weeks.
But Tomac is not lacking in confidence either. He's been in the series long enough to know that if he keeps the pressure on and avoids injury, it's a matter of time before he puts two strong motos together and wins the overall. His weakness in 2025 has been the ability to experience two solid gate drops. In High Point, he struggled in Moto 1 and used up his reserves before becoming a part of a three-rider battle for third. He finished fifth, but was only one second off pace to standing on the podium in that moto and scoring the overall victory.
Scoring his second podium of the season, Hunter Lawrence (+841) remains the only other rider under 10/1 in opening raw odds. Hunter began the season with long odds of +1648 in Pala, California, and after finishing third in that round, traders overcompensated, giving him +558 odds at Hangtown. His last three rounds landed between +841 and +862, which is a reasonable return on investment. Hunter has been uneven this year as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury, but he was one lap away from scoring the overall in High Point.
The traders at Alt Sports Data, the official linemaker for the SuperMotocross Championship, are apparently getting slightly more worried that Aaron Plessinger (+1322) is preparing to break through. His +1900 odds for High Point were 578 points higher than he shows on the opening form for Southwick in no small part because of the laps he led in Moto 1 when Jett stalled his bike.
Justin Cooper (+3434) remains virtually unchanged since he dropped from +4445 at Thunder Valley to +3233 at High Point. He remains a high-risk, high-reward proposition who could factor into some betting strategies. Last week, Cooper swept the top five in the two motos and kept his streak of overall top-fives alive.
One intriguing head-to-head matchup this week is between Jorge Prado (+14186 in overall odds) versus Jason Anderson (+12246). While Anderson is favored in overall odds by nearly 2/1, Prado holds the advantage in the matchup with odds of -128 to Anderson's -104. Neither rider is strong enough to warrant an overall win bet, but with podium odds of +805 for Prado, he could be worthy of some loose change.

Former Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo reflects on firing, extends offer to fans for Home Run Derby
Mike Rizzo's run with the Washington Nationals came to an end earlier this week. The MLB club relieved Rizzo of his general manager duties after 16 years. Rizzo helped build the Nationals' 2019 World Series-winning roster. But the team has had a rough first half of the 2025 season and entered Friday's action in last place in the NL East. Despite his unceremonious exit from the Nationals, Rizzo still took a moment to show his appreciation for the team's fan base by offering what was likely an unexpected gesture. Rizzo, via his Rizzo Family Foundation Instagram account, confirmed the nonprofit's work would continue. He also expressed his gratitude to the fans and noted he would be willing to cover the costs of drinks at a couple of sports bars ahead of Monday's Home Run Derby. "As a way to say thank you to the fans for 19 amazing years with the Washington Nationals, grab a 'Round on Riz' Monday, July 14 before the Home Run Derby at Penn Quarter Sports Tavern or Walter's Sports Bar. First round of beer is on us from 5-7 pm. Cheers to an incredible ride!" the social media post said. Rizzo also reacted to his dismissal during a radio interview, saying he had "no regrets" about his time in the front office. "I'm proud of what we accomplished," he told 106.7 The Fan. "I know I did it my way, leading the organization the way I felt was best, and we had a lot of success." Rizzo also acknowledged the expectations associated with overseeing an MLB team's baseball operations. "This is a performance-based industry. When you don't perform to the standards that ownership has set, it's their option to make changes," he said. "I was a little surprised, but I wasn't shocked [after he was fired]," Rizzo said. "The Lerners and I have talked every Monday since I've been there. … We had consistent communication throughout, and I don't think it was based on one series." Mark Lerner is the Nationals' current principal owner. His father, Ted Lerner, served as the franchise's owner for many of the same years Rizzo was the general manager. Washington compiled a 1,263-1,317 record and advanced to the postseason five times under Rizzo. The Nationals also recently parted ways with manager Dave Martinez.

Fired Nationals GM Mike Rizzo wants to buy a thank-you round for fans in DC before Home Run Derby
WASHINGTON — Fired Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo wants to buy a round for fans at two sports bars in Washington before Monday's All-Star Home Run Derby. Rizzo posted on social media Friday an extended thank you to fans, which included an offer to buy a 'Round on Riz' over a couple of hours before the Home Run Derby in Atlanta. Rizzo and manager Dave Martinez were fired Sunday with the last-place Nationals headed for a sixth consecutive losing season since winning their first World Series in 2019. The moves came with the Nats holding the No. 1 pick in this weekend's amateur draft. Mike DeBartolo was named interim GM. Rizzo, 64, had been general manager since 2009 and added the title of president of baseball operations four years later. 'From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every fan who has supported my goal to lead this franchise to greatness with integrity, honesty and professionalism,' Rizzo wrote. 'D.C. has become our home in every sense of the word and I could not imagine a better place to have done it all together than the nation's capital.' Rizzo, a Chicago native, was a three-sport athlete at Holy Cross High School in River Grove and played baseball at Triton College and St. Xavier, out of which the California Angels drafted him in 1982.
