Las Vegas oddsmakers say Asciutto is emerging as the favorite to win, according to AmericanIdol.net, which said:

“We’ve watched the fan polls and the betting odds go up and down for these three finalists all season long. Although rocker Caleb Johnson has often been called the front-runner in the competition during the finals, he actually hasn’t held the top spot in the ‘American Idol’ betting odds as often as one might think. In fact, he’s been running pretty much neck and neck with Jena Irene for weeks.

“In the latest ‘American Idol’ Las Vegas betting odds, Jena Irene actually has the edge over Caleb as the favorite to win. Not by much, just a little, but she’s actually held that top spot for several weeks now.”
