2024 Birmingham Supercross Fantasy Picks, Ideas [8 Fast Facts]

We at the moment are on the halfway level within the 2024 Monster Power AMA Supercross Championship Collection. This Saturday’s race at Protecting Stadium marks the primary Supercross spherical in Birmingham, and the primary SX spherical in Alabama because the Alabama Worldwide Motor Speedway (now Talladega Superspeedway) hosted a spherical 40 years in the past. Missing any historical past, all we will go along with is momentum, so let’s get roosting with our 2024 Birmingham Supercross fantasy picks and suggestions for RMFantasySX.com leagues.

1. Jett Lawrence is the rider to beat. He made an announcement trip at Daytona Worldwide Speedway final week, has extra wins and top-five finishes than anybody this 12 months, and leads within the sequence standings by 10 factors. By any customary you want to apply, Lawrence is the Birmingham Supercross favourite.

2. Two riders match Lawrence for podium finishes this 12 months—Eli Tomac and Chase Sexton. Tomac has completed in P2 on the final two rounds, whereas Chase has been bouncing again from damage with a 9-6-3 run. With that, it’s Tomac (who has but to win in 2024) in P2 and Sexton rounding out the rostrum.

3. There are many opponents for the final two top-five slots. Cooper Webb, Aaron Plessinger, and Jason Anderson every completed within the top-five 5 occasions this 12 months. Ken Roczen trails them with 4 top-five outcomes. No different rider has greater than two top-fives in 2024. So, it’s a matter of who’s scorching. Cooper Webb’s 1-4 finishes within the final two rounds are simply one of the best of those 4 riders. That places Webb in P4 at Protecting Stadium.

4. Choosing P5 is tougher with Hunter Lawrence out. During the last three rounds, we will examine Roczen (1-8-5), Plessinger (10-3-18), and Anderson (2-9-10). Though he has no top-five finishes in 2024, Justin Cooper threatens to drag it off, having gone 7-6 within the final two Principal Occasions. Roczen has an edge in top-five manufacturing these days, so put him in P5.

5. Lawrence-Tomac-Sexton-Webb-Roczen is the precise ending order at Daytona. It can most likely not be that approach on the Birmingham Supercross, however the stats are the stats, and I’m sticking with them.

6. There is a wonderful choose for the P14 Wild Card. Within the final 4 rounds, Shane McElrath has gone 14-14-15-14. It’s onerous to argue with that.

7. For these involved in regards to the climate, there will likely be rain on Saturday. The Climate Underground forecast tells us the Birmingham rain ought to finish at 8 a.m., properly earlier than qualifying follow.
