2024 St. Louis Supercross Fantasy Picks and Ideas [8 Fast Facts]

The 2024 Monster Power AMA Supercross Championship Collection strikes indoors on Saturday on the Dome at America’s Heart in St. Louis. It’s spherical 12, so we have now loads of traits to contemplate. It’s not too onerous to choose 4 of the highest 5 for RMFantasySX.com leagues, however you must choose 5 riders, after which there’s the Wild Card, which might make or break your week. With that in thoughts, listed below are our 2024 St. Louis Supercross fantasy picks and ideas.

1. St. Louis is the ultimate Triple Crown spherical, however don’t let that sway you an excessive amount of. Right here’s why:

A2 Triple Crown Prime 5

1. Cooper Webb
2. Eli Tomac
3. Aaron Plessinger
4. Jason Anderson
5. Chase Sexton

Indianapolis Triple Crown Prime 5

1. Jett Lawrence
2. Ken Roczen
3. Chase Sexton
4. Jason Anderson
5. Cooper Webb

As you may see, there’s not a lot that may be gleaned from that, aside from Anderson seems to be good for P4.

2. Regardless of a detect the rutted Seattle monitor final Saturday, Jett Lawrence stays the clear favourite. Jett has received three of the final 4 rounds, and there’s no motive to suppose he received’t get again on monitor as Supercross returns to the nice indoors. Oh, and he swept the final Triple Crown.

3. Chase Sexton and Cooper Webb ought to full the rostrum. For the reason that Arlington spherical, Sexton and Webb swap besting one another every spherical. Final week, Webb was forward of Sexton, so this week I’ve to go along with Sexton for P3 and P2. Over the earlier 4 rounds, solely two riders have been on the rostrum thrice or extra—Lawrence and Sexton.

4. Fascinating stat—just one set of three riders has been on the rostrum collectively twice in 2024. We now have had 10 completely different podium mixtures in any order over the 11 rounds. The duplicate trio, unexpectedly, is Cooper Webb, Eli Tomac, and Aaron Plessinger. Much more shocking, these three riders completed in that precise order at each Anaheim 2 and Arlington. It’s stats like this that make RMFantasySX.com picks tough.

5. Ken Roczen has been a top-five lock. Roczen has been within the high 5 the final 4 weeks, together with Lawrence, Webb, and Sexton. Though Roczen is but to complete in P4 this yr—he has three P3s and two P5s—that’s the place I’ve him in St. Louis.

6. Selecting P5 goes to be a troublesome one. Eli Tomac is transferring slowly in that course on a 7-7-6 run. Jason Anderson and Aaron Plessinger every have six top-five finishes this yr, barely above a 50 % charge. Plessinger is doing nicely, scoring 8-6-4 within the final three rounds. Anderson is at all times unpredictable. What are you able to make of Anderson’s 10-9-6-4-10 scorecard over the earlier 5 rounds? Hunter Lawrence is getting again into the dialogue, having gone 11-7 since his return from damage. Nonetheless, Anderson is the one rider on this group to complete within the high 5 in each Triple Crown races, so I’ve Anderson down for P5.

7. The Wild Card is P15, and that’s not straightforward. If you get down that far within the outcomes, P15 could be a rider who doesn’t at all times make the primary. There are in all probability 10 or extra prospects, so I’m going to slim it down to 3 riders who’re reliably within the Major—Shane McElrath, Adam Cianciarulo, and Benny Bloss. Cianciarulo’s final 4 races have been within the P15 vary, going 12-12-15-14. Benny Bloss had a P15 in San Diego and is on a 17-17-10-14-22-12 run. Nonetheless, my selection is Shane McElrath. McElrath has three P14 finishes, two P16s, and a P15 this yr—he lives within the P15 neighborhood.

8. The St. Louis Supercross racing begins at 7 p.m. EDT. As regular, it streams on Peacock with audio-only protection on SiriusXM. Peacock streams Race Day Dwell beginning at 1:30 p.m. EDT. We now have a 2024 Supercross Tv Schedule on your comfort.
