Tyler Reddick is off to a historically hot start with three wins from three races, including the Daytona 500, but it's still Kyle Larson who's the one to catch in the NASCAR Cup Series odds.

Reddick has hardly moved in the pecking order, going from eighth to seventh, but his odds have reduced from +1400 to +850. Larson and Denny Hamlin have inflated, going from +400 to +550 and +370 to +600, respectively, following the Daytona 500.

Let's look at the latest NASCAR Cup Series odds.
