Honda Indy 200 Preview: Who are the top contenders heading into Mid-Ohio?
We've hit the midseason point of the IndyCar Series season and the first race of the second half of the season is the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio in Lexington. Here's a quick preview of this Sunday's race. More: Honda Indy 200 race at Mid-Ohio: How to buy tickets Alex Palou is the guy to chase Last year going into Mid-Ohio, Alex Palou was the defending champion and first in the IndyCar Series standings with a 23-point lead. He finished narrowly second in the race, but by season's end he won his third career IndyCar Series title. Fast forward to this year and Palau is riding high again as he enters Sunday's race with a 93-point lead at the top of the standings with 386 points. Palou had three wins last year — yet he's probably in even better form this year — as the Chip Genassi Racing driver started the season off winning five of the first six races, making him the third IndyCar driver in history along with A.J. Foyt in 1964 and 1979 and AI Unser in 1971, to do exactly that. Palou was so hot early on that there was serious talk of him reaching the most wins in an IndyCar Series single season, which is 10 set by Unser in 1970 and Foyt in 1964. And hey, Palou still might reach that as he sits with a season-high six wins, coming off a victory at Road America two weeks ago. With Mid-Ohio being a road course that should improve the Spaniard's chances as he's already won four times on road courses this season. Still, no bigger win was a bigger triumph for Palou then winning the famous Indianapolis 500 in May. Let's see if Palou can add to his lead this weekend and create even more distance from the field. Other contenders Interesting enough this season, there have only been two drivers that have won titles through the first nine races. That's Palou and Andretti Global driver Kyle Kirkwood, who has three wins to his name and is second in the championship standings behind Palou. Kirkwood finished eighth in last year's race. Another fact that might interest fans: there hasn't been a repeat winner at Mid-Ohio since Scott Dixon from 2011-2012. Pato O'Ward will look to change that at the 90-lap road course as O'Ward held off Palou in the late stages at Mid-Ohio last season for the win. The Arrow McLaren driver will enter this weekend third in the championships standings and he knows how critical it is to do well at Mid-Ohio to stay within the title race. "Super important. There's plenty of racing to go and it's been a different season than what people have expected it to be," said O'Ward before racing at Road America. "It's been a very different start to the season. We're inching away at the championship and getting closer and closer." For O'Ward, he's finished runner-up in three races so far and is seeking that first win of the campaign. He hopes to get it at Mid-Ohio. "Yeah, it definitely feels like this isn't the first time this has happened but we've been close a few times and we're gonna be close again," O'Ward said. "I'm not really focused on if it's going to arrive or when it's going to arrive. Sometimes years play out a certain way and we might be super consistent, but maybe you don't actually get a win here and there. I'd love to go back-to-back like we did last year. We had a phenomenal week last year. We have some tracks coming up that we're looking forward to be a part of." jamessimpson@ Twitter/X: @JamesSimpsonII

2025 NBA free agency: Deandre Ayton addition slightly improves Los Angeles Lakers' title odds
The Los Angeles Lakers finally have a new center after agreeing to a two-year deal with free agent and former No. 1 overall pick Deandre Ayton, and oddsmakers have bumped up their odds to win next year's NBA championship as a result. The Lakers moved from 16-1 to 14-1 to win the 2025-26 NBA championship at BetMGM, the seventh-best odds of any team and the fourth-best odds for any Western Conference team behind favorite Oklahoma City (+275), Denver (+700) and Houston (+800). Advertisement "They filled an obvious need with a previously unexpected option," Jeff Sherman, vice president of risk at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook told Yahoo Sports via text. "We went from 16-1 to 14-1 for perception purposes. We already have — and will continue to have — Lakers liability." The Lakers made the playoffs as the third seed in the West last season after trading for Luka Dončić in the middle of the season, but lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round in five games. As of Tuesday morning, the Lakers were the second-biggest title liability at BetMGM behind the Dallas Mavericks.
