Now, Taranto has analyzed the starting lineup and odds for Sunday’s 2025 NASCAR Cup Straight Talk Wireless 400 Homestead-Miami Speedway. He’s sharing his best bets at SportsLine.

For the 2025 Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Taranto is high on Kyle Larson, who won at Homestead in the fall of 2022. He has been solid this season and has accumulated three top-10 finishes. He was ninth at last week’s Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas. He placed third at both the Ambetter Health 400 in Atlanta and was third at the Shriners Children’s 500 in Phoenix. Larson is going off at +400 at Caesars Sportsbook.

Na mira do Vasco, Fernando Diniz já teve atrito com Tchê Tchê: ‘Mascaradinho’; relembre
O técnico Fernando Diniz é o principal alvo do Vasco para substituir Fábio Carille, demitido no último domingo, no comando da equipe cruz-maltina. Caso a negociação se concretize, o treinador de 51 anos se reencontrará com um personagem com quem ele já teve um desentendimento durante uma partida: o volante Tchê Tchê.

A discussão foi flagrada no áudio da transmissão da Rede Globo e gerou uma enorme repercussão negativa. — Seu ingrato do c..., seu perninha do c..., seu mascaradinho. Vai se f... — disse Fernando Diniz para o volante Tchê Tchê. Dias após o incidente, Fernando Diniz reconheceu o erro e pediu desculpas públicas ao jogador e ao […]

Vasco abre frentes simultâneas, ouve não de Castro e tenta acordo com Diniz
A diretoria do Vasco privilegiou o nome de Fernando Diniz para substituir Fábio Carille, mas abriu negociações simultâneas com outros treinadores. Entre eles, Luis Castro. Após consultas, o treinador português indicou que ainda não vai trabalhar, já que tem valores do contrato com o Al Nassr a receber até junho. O salário também foi considerado inviável. Com Diniz, a abordagem inicial indicou possibilidades de avanço nas negociações. Agora, será necessário uma engenharia financeira para poder custear o treinador. O Vasco teria que gastar o dobro do que pagava a Fábio Carille para ter Diniz, que recebia nos últimos trabalhos acima de R$ 1 milhão. Para aceitar o Vasco, o técnico terá que reduzir sua pedida. Enquanto isso, a direção vascaína tenta não colocar um único nome no alvo para não ficar na mão de ninguém. O perfil inicial foi traçado […]
