When the front runner is surprisingly eliminated a lot can happen to the betting odds in a competition, and American Idol is no exception. With Pia Toscano now off to work on her choreography and stage presence for the summer Idol tour, the remaining eight contestants all move up in their odds to win the competition. As expected Scotty McCreery has now moved into the front runner status, and Lauren Alaina has joined him to make them both set as favorites at 5/2 odds. James remains right behind them at 4/1, but look who is now in fourth at 7/1: Haley Reinhart. Haley is now in front of Casey (at 8/1) and has a good chance of ending up in the top 5. I know she will definitely pick up a lot of Pia's voting block, as the only remaining female over the legal age. Who would have thought just a few weeks ago that Haley would outlast Pia?
