2026 INDYCAR Odds: Pole-sitter Alex Palou Favored For Night Race In St. Louis

It’s beginning to feel like 2025 all over again, as Alex Palou keeps finding ways to win races. While the reigning INDYCAR champion didn’t find his way into Winner’s Circle at the Indy 500, he did get the win last weekend at the Detroit Grand Prix. Now the series heads to World Wide Technology Raceway for the Bommarito Automotive Group 500, commonly known as Gateway. Will he make it two in a row this Sunday, June 7 (9 p.m. ET, FOX)? Based on the odds, it looks like he might add another win to his 2026 tally. Here are the latest lines at DraftKings Sportsbook as of June 7.

The reigning INDYCAR champion is first in the standings with 339 laps led, five poles (including at Gateway) and four wins. In 2025, Palou started this race ninth but finished eighth. But regardless of how Gateway unfolds, with his 62-point lead in the standings — as Bob Pockrass noted — it seems that this year’s title is Palou’s to lose. Second On The Board David Malukas finished 18th last weekend at Detroit after starting 25th. But what’s probably still at the forefront of his mind is his spectacular — but emotional — Indy 500 run that ended in second place just two weeks ago. When the series went to Gateway in 2025, he started fourth but finished 12th. Will the Team Penske driver — who sits third in the standings — capture the checkered flag in St. Louis?
