# 7 COWBOY CHROME 7/2

# 3 SLEEPIN N CHEATIN 5/2

# 9 MY BOY LANE 4/1

COWBOY CHROME is the strongest bet in this race. In this field, this entrant is highly ranked earnings per start in dirt sprint events. With a respectable 74 Equibase Speed Figure last time out, will unquestionably be a factor in this race. Is a solid contender based on numbers put up as of late under today's conditions. SLEEPIN N CHEATIN - Has to be given a shot against this group of horses displaying very good figures lately and an average speed figure of 58 under similar conditions. Overall, this conditioner has been money-making at this distance/surface. MY BOY LANE - Overall the Equibase Speed Figures of this racer look strong in this outing.

Rating: 4

#6 POINTS IN INDY (ML=7/2)


POINTS IN INDY - With a big class drop in class figure points from his August 15th race at Mountaineer Park. Based on that element, I will give this animal the advantage. Good return on investment for this jockey and handler tandem. (EPS) earnings per start is something that I think can be an extremely key handicapping factor. This horse is ranked numero uno in this field.

Vulnerable Contenders: #7 WALTERSRAM (ML=3/1), #4 PRIME LOCATION (ML=4/1), #8 ZODIAC KOWBOY (ML=5/1),

WALTERSRAM - Trying to beat this participant this time around at the reward of 3/1. PRIME LOCATION - Somewhat easily forgotten speed fig last time out at Mountaineer Park at 5 furlongs. Don't believe this less than sharp equine will improve too much in today's race. ZODIAC KOWBOY - I'm prognosticating a lackluster effort out of him this time around.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - POINTS IN INDY - This horse is getting the medication Lasix, this time around. Watch for a good one.

# 3 CHARMING COTTON 7/2

# 5 OVER SAVER 9/2

# 2 RSTEWBALL 8/1

I think CHARMING COTTON is a very good choice. He has been running admirably and the Equibase Speed Figs are among the top in this field. Allen will almost certainly be able to get this gelding to break out early in this race. Had one of the best Equibase Speed Figs of this group of animals in his last race. OVER SAVER - Should be considered a solid choice on earnings per start at the distance/surface alone. RSTEWBALL - Dominguez ought to be able to get this gelding to break out sharply for this race. Must be in sound condition if the trainer is bringing him back so soon.

This race honors the career of Better Talk Now who is best known for winning the Breeders' Cup Turf in 2004. His racing career stretched over nine seasons, during which he won 14 times, five of them Grade I stakes, with earnings of over $4.3 million. Here in the 4th running of this stake test, #2 SNAP DECISION" has hit the board in four of his last five outings, winning three times, with to of those "Circle Trips" also qualifying as "POWER RUN WINS!" Jockey Jose Ortiz and Trainer "Shug" McGaughey send him to the post for the "Monday Feature" ... they've hit the board with 53% of more than 80 entries saddled as a team to date. #3 HIEROGLYPHICS, the pace profile leader, has produced "POWER RUN PERFORMANCES" in each of his last five starts, hitting the board in four of those "adventures," including a pair of "POWER RUN WINS" being embedded in this recent streak of racing consistency.

Rating: 4

#7 FABLED STAR (ML=6/1)
#1 RUSSIAN RHAPSODY (ML=10/1)


FABLED STAR - When a thoroughbred finishes in-the-money as often as this mare does, you will usually want to use her in your exotic wagers. This mare should run better today now that she's back facing here own gender. Taking a trip down the class scale; has the ability to make her presence felt. RUSSIAN RHAPSODY - This horse didn't run well on a sloppy track in her last race around the track at Indiana Downs. You should toss out that performance. This mare likes to be near the lead. Today's clash is a shorter trip and should help her likelihood of winning. This mare might as well call Thistledown home. Don't overlook how she races well over this racing venue.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 YOUR MOVE (ML=3/1), #8 SPITTIN' FEATHERS (ML=7/2), #5 BLACK SHERRY (ML=4/1),

YOUR MOVE - This mare gave a lackluster effort last time. Can't really bet on this kind of oft beaten chalk. SPITTIN' FEATHERS - Hard to put your money on the win end of any mount that finishes second and third as regularly as this entrant does. Recorded a mediocre speed rating last out in a $4,000 Claiming race on June 10th. Doubtful to see an improved performance off of that figure. BLACK SHERRY - The Brain always warns me to keep away from ponies in sprint races that haven't hit the board in sprint affairs recently. Don't think this vulnerable equine will do much running in today's race. That last speed rating was common when compared with today's class rating.

Rogerio Dutra Silva vs. Florian Mayer
Florian Mayer-185

Florian Mayer hasn't played on hard court for a number of months, but his hard court ability is still much stronger than his opponents. Dutra Silva is just 6-12 on hard courts at ATP World Tour/Grand Slam level in his career, opting to play the majority of his matches on slower clay courts. Mayer has great serving & variety in his game, mixing up the pace of the rally, a tough matchup for traditional clay court grinders like Dutra Silva who like the one set pace throughout the longer exchanges.
The courts in New York are playing very fast, and Mayer's best results have come on grass & very quick hard courts. Huge tournament for the German as he looks to climb the rankings for the latter end of 2017. Dutra Silva has no weapons to win points easily on this surface, a huge weakness in a best of 5 set match. Take Mayer to record a comfortable victory.

Monday freebie is the Under at Yankee Stadium when Cleveland and New York meet for the second time this month.

It will be a pair of All-Stars handling the mound-work, as Corey Kluber and Luis Severino take to the bump, and I just cannot see either team mustering too much offensively this Monday night.

Kluber shutdown the New York attack back on August 3rd, as he worked ALL 9 innings with just 3 hits and 1 run allowed. He also struck out 11 batters in going the distance. Kuleber's ERA for the season stands at 2.65, and 4 of his last 5 starts (beginning with that Yankees effort) have landed Under the total.

Cleveland stands at 7-3-1 Under the total their last 11 on the road, and facing Severino this evening sure looks like another Under.

Severino has had one bad start since the All-Star break, as he has worked 7 of his 8 starts since the break with no more than 1 run allowed! His last start against the Tribe came on August 6th when he worked into the 7th inning and allowed just 1 run to score while fanning 9.

I see lots of goose eggs on that big scoreboard in the Bronx. Not too many crooked digits.

Indians-Yankees Under on Monday night.

Atlanta vs. Philadelphia, 08/28/2017 19:05 EDT

Money Line: -150 Philadelphia

Sportsbook:
Betonline

Going for free pick winner #6 in a row!

The Atlanta Braves will be on the road all week, starting with a three-game set at Philadelphia. The Phillies have won each of the last seven meetings here at Citizens Bank Park, and I think they have a clear advantage on the mound in tonight's matchup.

Lucas Sims (2-3, 4.13 ERA) will take the ball for Atlanta. The 23 year old is coming off six innings of three-hit ball against Seattle, but this will mark just his sixth career start in the big leagues, and inexperienced pitchers often struggle with consistency.

The Phillies turn to a young pitcher themselves, but 24 year old Aaron Nola (9-9, 3.58 ERA) is already considered the ace of the rotation here in his second season in the Major Leagues. The right-hander has taken a beating in each of his last two outings, but this is a good opportunity to get back on track as he's 4-1 with a solid 2.08 ERA in seven career meetings with Atlanta.

The Phillies own an 11-2 overall record over their division foe this season.

My free pick is on the Philadelphia Phillies ML.

My free play on Monday night is the Under on the Miami Marlins-Washington Nationals, one day after scoring an Over in the Nationals-New York Mets early game.

Tonight, in Washington D.C., we're going to see a pitchers' duel.

MAKE NOTE: All Run Line/Total plays automatically list pitchers with the starters who are scheduled to go at the time of the wager, and I want you to be sure the following pitchers are the starters of record on your ticket when making your play: Jose Urena and Max Scherzer. If one or both of these pitchers is not going, this is a no-play.

Urena is the club leader with 12 wins, and rolls into this one with a 3-0 mark and 2.95 ERA in four starts in August. The right-hander's four-seam fastball has been top-noch, sitting around 95 miles per hour while he is on the bump. His WHIP is 1.22, while he has struck out 89 in 129.2 innings.

On the other hand, Scherzer returns from the disabled list after missing his turn through the rotation with left neck inflammation. The staff-ace continues a campaign that has made him the frontrunner for the National League Cy Young Award.

Take this one under as the pitchers are the stars.

4* UNDER Marlins/Nationals (Urena/Scherzer)

Brad Wilton

Monday night comp play is the Red Sox and Blue Jays Under the total.

Boston has been in a slump at the plate, as the Red Sox were held to only 4 runs total in their 3 games over the weekend at home against the Orioles.

The Red Sox enter this series at 5-3-1 Under the posted total their last 9 games played, and now they face Marcus Stroman and the Toronto Blue Jays.

Stroman totes in an ERA just over 3 in his last 3 starts, with 2 of those 3 starts holding Under the posted price. For the season, Stroman owns a 2.63 ERA in his home starts, so look for the BoSox to struggle at the dish again tonight.

On the flip side, the Jays should have issues scoring off of Drew Pomeranz who brings in a 1.76 ERA for his last 3 starts, and owns a season ERA of just 3.18.

The Jays have played 3 of their last 4 games Under the posted total, so why not look for another Under to open this A.L. East series on Monday night?

Red Sox-Blue Jays Under.

3* BOSTON-TORONTO UNDER
