    Oilers at Blackhawks 10/19/17 - NHL Picks & Predictions

    by Mike

    Latest Odds : CHC -180 O/U 5.5

    The Oilers made the playoffs last season to break a drought, but now it does not seem like they are able to find the back of the net. However, the Oilers are a team that should be able to play good hockey as the season goes on because they are a younger team and will have stamina that can go on.

    Thankfully the Oilers still have Connor McDavid and he is a great talent. McDavid has managed to get 6 points on the year so far and those are from 3 goals and 3 assist.


    The Blackhawks are going to play back to back games here and they are a very strong team on the season. However, the Blackhawks have had some issues on the season with the offense because they are a team that had been able to score quite a few goals and that has cooled off tremendously on the season so far.

    Patrick Kane is a player who has led the Blackhawks on the year. Kane has been able to score a total of 6 goals on the year so far and that is just a contribution to the total of 8 points he has had on the season.


    Recent Betting Trends:
    Oilers are 4-1 in their last 5 vs. Central.
    Blackhawks are 4-10 in their last 14 overall.
    Over is 4-0 in Oilers last 4 games playing on 1 days rest.
    Over is 6-1 in Blackhawks last 7 vs. a team with a winning % below .400.


    Free Betting Pick: Chicago Blackhawks -180


    The Oilers offense is struggling and the Oilers have had quite a few problems in finding the net as can be seen by the fact McDavid has only managed to get 6 points. The Blackhawks offense has cooled off tremendously, but it is definitely still a strong point for the Hawks. Look for the Blackhawks to win 3-1.

    Blues at Avalanche 10/19/17 - NHL Picks & Predictions

    by Jim

    Latest Odds : STL -115 O/U 5.5

    The Blues have had a very balanced game play on the season so far and that is going to make a difference in how well the Blues are able to do. However, the Blues could easily come out and pick up quite a few wins if they are able to continue to play at the levels they have here recently and this can give them quite a bit of confidence.

    The Blues are scoring 2.8 goals a game and giving up 2.7 goals a game. The Blues are converting on the power play at a clip 20.8% on the season and are killing off 80.8% of the power plays they face.


    With the Avalanche they have really come out strong on the season, but can they sustain this high level of play for the entire season or not? So far the Avalanche have been able to keep the play high, but they are having some problems as well in keeping the games strong and that can hurt them overall.

    The Avalanche are scoring 2.9 goals a game, but are giving up 2.4 goals a game. The Avalanche have converted on the power play at a clip of only 14.3% and the Avalanche are killing off 74.2% on the season.


    Recent Betting Trends:
    Blues are 25-11 in their last 36 overall.
    Avalanche are 4-1 in their last 5 home games.
    Under is 6-2 in Blues last 8 road games.
    Over is 5-2-1 in Avalanche last 8 games playing on 1 days rest.


    Free Betting Pick: Saint Louis Blues -115


    The Blues have a lot better power play offense and defense. The Avalanche have had some struggles on the year killing off penalties. The lack of power play killing ability will be what does the Avalanche in here as the Blues win a close one 2-1.

    Hurricanes at Flames 10/19/17 - NHL Picks & Predictions

    by Adam

    Latest Odds : CAL -134 Total 5.5

    Carolina has been all over the place this season as they lost to the Jets, but then came out in the next game and soundly defeated the Oilers. So it will be easy to see the Hurricanes are a team that is hard to see what team will take the ice. Will it be the team that is losing games like it is a fashion statement or the team that comes out every so often to win.

    Justin Williams in the player who has been strong on the year. So this is going to be a great player who has not really been seen a lot as he already has 4 assist on the season.


    Calgary is coming into this game after soundly beating the Vancouver Canucks. The beating the Flames delivered to the Canucks was one that did not even really see them get challenged a lot by the opponent and this can help them out in getting even more wins than what they would expect to get on the year.

    Unlike last year the Flames have a good goalie in the net. Mike Smith, the Coyote transplant, is watching the net this year for the Flames. On the season Smith has given up only 2.59 goals a game.


    Recent Betting Trends:
    Hurricanes are 16-35 in their last 51 road games.
    Flames are 4-1 in their last 5 overall.
    Under is 3-0-1 in Hurricanes last 4 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game.
    Over is 4-1 in Flames last 5 overall.


    Free Betting Pick: Calgary Flames -134


    The Flames have a red hot offense and a defense that is able to protect the net for a change. Look for the Flames to be able to continue to play at a very high level in this game as the Calgary team takes home the win here 4-2

    Stars at Coyotes 10/19/17 - NHL Picks & Predictions

    by Jim

    Latest Odds : DAL -165 O/U 5.5

    Dallas sits at the five hundred mark on the year and they could improve even more because they recently played the Coyotes and ended up winning that game 3-1. So this could easily be a game the Stars are ready for because they did not even have a break before having to face the Coyotes again in a game.


    The Stars in the game against the Coyotes were led by fantastic goal keeping by Ben Bishop. The Lightning transplant saved a total of 27 shots that were sent his way. This definitely helped the Stars out quite a bit.



    Arizona has yet to win a game on the season and that is definitely going to make it very difficult for the fans to have something to get excited about. However, the Coyotes would like to be able to score to pick up some of the wins they need have. The downside is the Coyotes are struggling quite a bit and they are not going to be able to bounce back very well this year.

    The defense has been the major issue for the Coyotes on the season. The defense for the Coyotes is giving up 4.2 goals per game on the season so far.


    Recent Betting Trends:
    Stars are 8-27 in their last 35 games following a win.
    Coyotes are 22-46 in their last 68 overall.
    Under is 5-1 in Stars last 6 vs. Pacific.
    Under is 10-3-1 in Coyotes last 14 vs. Western Conference.


    Free Betting Pick: Dallas Stars -165


    The Stars just beat the Coyotes in the last outing between these two teams. That game was on Tuesday. The day off between the games will not give the Coyotes enough time to get in good practice on how to counter the Stars. The Coyotes will lose this game to the Stars 5-2

    Clippers at Lakers 10/19/17 - NBA Picks & Predictions

    by Eddie
    Latest Odds : LAC -5 Total 218.5



    Two teams will open up their regular season on their home floor, when the Los Angeles Clippers face the Los Angeles Lakers from Staples Center on Thursday night. For the past few seasons, the Clippers have been one of the upper echelon teams in the Western Conference. However, that never translated to postseason success and the team decided to deal PG Chris Paul to Houston in the offseason.

    The Clippers feature an extremely talented frontcourt trio of Blake Griffin, Danilo Gallinari, and DeAndre Jordan. Lou Williams comes over from the Lakers to fill Jamal Crawford’s instant offense off the bench role.



    The Los Angeles Lakers are a team on the rise and have some very exciting pieces for second year head coach Luke Walton to work with. Magic Johnson joined the Lakers’ organization as the president of basketball operations and selected hometown product Lonzo Ball with the number two overall draft pick. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope signed a one-year, 18 million dollar deal to provide Ball with a running mate in the backcourt.

    If the Lakers are to make a playoff run this season, it will have to start with an improvement on the defensive end of the floor. Los Angeles finished last in the league in defensive efficiency a season ago.


    Recent Betting Trends:
    Clippers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
    Lakers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
    Over is 5-1 in Clippers last 6 Thursday games.
    Under is 5-0 in Lakers last 5 games overall.
    Under is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings.


    Free Betting Pick: Los Angeles Clippers -5


    Clippers’ G Patrick Beverly (knee) did not participate in Sunday’s practice and is listed as questionable for this contest. This rivalry has been dominated by the Clippers in recent years and I would expect that to follow form in the season opener. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Clippers win and cover ATS 114-103

    Bulls at Raptors 10/19/17 - NBA Picks & Predictions
    by Eddie


    Latest Odds : TOR -12 Total 205.5

    In Thursday night NBA action, the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors will open up their regular seasons from the Air Canada Centre. The Bulls decided to part ways with veterans Jimmy Butler, Rajon Rondo, and Dwyane Wade so that the team could go into a much needed rebuilding mode. The All-Star F Jimmy Butler was traded on draft night to Minnesota for Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine, and number seven overall pick Lauri Markkanen.

    Head coach Fred Hoiberg now has a roster that resembles more of a college team and he will be looked on to implement his pace-and-space offense. Robin Lopez will be counted on for veteran leadership and an inside presence.


    The Toronto Raptors tied with Cleveland for the second most wins in the Eastern Conference last season, but were swept by the Cavaliers in the conference semifinals. All-Star G DeMar DeRozan is coming off a career best scoring season in which he averaged 27.3 points per game, which was good for fifth in the NBA. Kyle Lowry averaged 22.4 ppg and 7.0 apg, but injuries he suffered late in the season cost the Raptors in the postseason.

    Serge Ibaka is the most talented front-court players on Toronto’s roster and must play at a higher level for this team to reach the Eastern Conference Finals. C.J. Miles was brought in from Indiana and should start at the small forward position.


    Recent Betting Trends:
    Bulls are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games.
    Raptors are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 home games.
    Over is 8-3 in Bulls last 11 road games.
    Over is 10-3 in Raptors last 13 home games.
    Over is 9-1 in the last 10 meetings.


    Free Betting Pick: Toronto Raptors -12


    Chicago F Nikola Mirotic has two broken bones in his face after being punched by teammate Bobby Portis and is out indefinitely. Look for the highly more efficient Raptors to dismantle the young Bulls on opening night. Final Score Prediction, Toronto Raptors win and cover ATS 109-93.

    Knicks at Thunder 10/19/17 - NBA Picks & Predictions
    by Eddie


    Latest Odds : OKC -11.5 Total 214

    In the first game of an NBA on TNT Thursday night doubleheader, the New York Knicks will travel to the Chesapeake Energy Arena to battle the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Knicks decided to end the run of Phil Jackson as team president and moved away from the outdated triangle offense.. New York traded away
    Carmelo Anthony to Oklahoma City with the plan to being to get younger, not necessarily better.

    The Knicks will build their team moving forward around tremendously talented F Kristaps Porzingis, who averaged 18.1 ppg and 7.2 rpg a season ago. Improving a defense that ranked 25th in efficiency last year will be head coach Jeff Hornacek’s biggest challenge.



    The Oklahoma City Thunder made two huge additions this offseason, when they brought All-Star F Paul George and Carmelo Anthony into the fold. George was acquired in a trade with Indiana that only required the Thunder to part with G Victor Oladipo and F Domantas Sabonis. Anthony is now 33 years old and can be a dynamic third scoring option for Oklahoma City.

    Reigning MVP Russell Westbrook averaged a triple-double last season and now has the weapons around him to make a NBA Championship run. Westbrook will now have to show he’s capable of integrating two elite scorers into the Thunder’s offensive attack.


    Recent Betting Trends:
    Knicks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Thursday games.
    Thunder are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games.
    Under is 8-2-1 in Knicks last 11 overall.
    Under is 7-2 in Thunder last 9 overall.
    Home team is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings.


    Free Betting Pick: Oklahoma City Thunder -11.5


    Oklahoma City G Raymond Felton (wrist) and F Patrick Patterson (knee) are both considered questionable for this contest. The Knicks failed to win a game during the preseason and their defensive issues have a long way to go before being fixed. Look for Oklahoma City to roll to an easy victory on opening night. Final Score Prediction, Oklahoma City Thunder win and cover ATS 119-103.

    GAME: Los Angeles Dodgers (110-59) at Chicago Cubs (96-75)
    DATE/TIME: Thursday, October 19 - 8:00 PM EST
    WHERE: Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois
    LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

    Playoff Series:
    League Championship; LA Dodgers leads 3-1

    Preview: Dodgers at Cubs


    Gracenote
    Oct 19, 2017

    The Chicago Cubs have won five straight games when their backs were against the wall dating to last year’s World Series, and they’ll try to make it six on Thursday. The Cubs will try to stave off elimination for a second consecutive night by defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers at home and sending the National League Championship Series back to California.


    Javier Baez homered twice and Willson Contreras also went deep in support of Jake Arrieta as Chicago held on for a 3-2 win in Game 4 to extend the series, handing the Dodgers their first loss of the postseason. Los Angeles had not trailed after the fifth inning in any of its previous six playoff games this year. “We don’t expect anyone to lay down,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters. “They’re the world champs, and you know they’re going to fight to the end.” If the Cubs are going to live another day, someone other than Wade Davis will have to close out Game 5, as the right-hander recorded six outs on Wednesday for his second multi-inning save of the postseason.
    TV: 8 p.m. ET, TBS


    PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers LH Clayton Kershaw (1-0, 4.76 ERA) vs. Cubs LH Jose Quintana (0-0, 1.59)
    Kershaw is 5-7 with a 4.57 ERA in 20 career games (16 starts) in the postseason. He split two starts against the Cubs in last year’s NLCS and allowed two runs over five innings in a no-decision in Game 1 of this matchup. Surprisingly, the ace has started only one series-clincher, throwing six scoreless frames to beat Atlanta in the 2013 NL Division Series.
    Quintana has been excellent in his first postseason, allowing three runs - two earned - over 11 1/3 innings in two starts and a relief appearance. He gave up two runs and two hits over five frames in Game 1 and left with the contest tied. Quintana went 5-0 with a 4.76 ERA in eight turns at Wrigley Field during the regular season.


    WALK-OFFS
    1. All seven of Chicago’s runs in the series have come on homers.
    2. Dodgers relievers have pitched 20 consecutive scoreless innings and given up only three hits in the series.
    3. Davis is the first pitcher to record multiple saves of two or more frames in the same postseason since he accomplished the feat in 2015 with Kansas City.


    PREDICTION: Dodgers 4, Cubs 3

    # 1 DASHIN WITH CHROME 5/1

    # 6 BJS CARTEL CASH 4/1

    # 7 CRAWFISH WAGON 5/1

    DASHIN WITH CHROME is the best wager in this race. Has some encouraging angles which make this horse a bet. Has been consistently running well recently. Has a sharp shot in here if you like back class. BJS CARTEL CASH - Always good to invest in a handler with this kind of solid win percentage - 18 percent - at this distance & surface. Earned a very good Equibase Speed Figure last time out. CRAWFISH WAGON - Has been racing solidly in races of this distance, going 3 for 13 under similar conditions. Looks respectable to be on the front end at the first call.

    Golden Gate Fields - Race #7 - Post: 3:50pm - Claiming - 8.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $7,000 Class Rating: 80

    Rating: 3

    #9 CLARA'S DREAM (ML=5/1)
    #2 KNOLL (ML=2/1)
    #4 WARRENS LIL MARGIE (ML=7/2)


    CLARA'S DREAM - This filly has 'tactical' speed, Antongeorgi will use this advantage by laying in perfect position behind the leaders, and getting first run on the leaders. KNOLL - I like that most recent effort on October 9th at Fresno where she finished first. Just see her latest speed rating, 78. That one looks good in this group. WARRENS LIL MARGIE - The ROI when Velasco and Morey team up is fantastic. Another way to judge class is earnings per race. This racer has the highest in the bunch. I think she'll be close at the finish line.

    Vulnerable Contenders: #3 AMERICAN RHIANNON (ML=5/2),

    AMERICAN RHIANNON - This horse likes to be there at the wire, but doesn't usually win. Don't put in the top spot. This animal hasn't had even a single workout after running so well on Sep 29th. Finished second in her most recent effort with a substandard speed figure. When I look at today's class rating, it would take an improved performance to prove victorious after that in this bunch.



    STRAIGHT WAGERS:
    #9 CLARA'S DREAM to win at post-time odds of 4/1 or better

    EXACTA WAGERS:
    Pass

    # 7 EQUITY 3/1

    # 4 HARASAN 5/2

    # 2 SHOT JAK 8/1

    EQUITY looks like the wager in here. The average Equibase class figure alone makes this entrant a solid contender. With a solid 67 average Equibase Speed Fig at the distance, seems well suited for today's contest. This gelding with Batista in the saddle makes him a contender. HARASAN - Shows evidence of the look of a profitable play, averaging a solid 64 Equibase speed fig which is one of the strongest in this group. Trainer has strong win rate (20 percent) at this distance and surface. SHOT JAK - Will most likely compete soundly in the early pace contest which bodes well with this field. Has quite good Equibase speed figs and has to be considered for a wager for this event.

    #1 NANCY PANTS (ML=5/2)


    NANCY PANTS - Stay with this horse. Coming off the pace, I think she'll be in a wonderful spot to crush them in the stretch. Multiple wins over the surface right here at Penn National. Maybe, another trip to the winner's circle right here.

    Vulnerable Contenders: #3 QUINNETTE (ML=3/1), #6 LUMINOUS CIELO (ML=7/2), #4 MIDNIGHT LADY (ML=4/1),

    QUINNETTE - This entrant will most likely be near the back of the pack as this bunch crosses the finish line. LUMINOUS CIELO - This was a fit horse, but now this one hasn't been doing anything in the morning. Have to be leery of this one. MIDNIGHT LADY - This horse likes to be on the board, but doesn't usually finish first. Keep out of the top spot. When looking at today's class figure, she will have to notch a better speed fig than last time around the track to battle in this dirt route.

    Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - NANCY PANTS - This horse is meeting a much easier field than in the last affair on May 18th. Worth a prime wager today.





    STRAIGHT WAGERS:
    #1 NANCY PANTS is the play if we get odds of 1/1 or better

    EXACTA WAGERS:
    1 with [4,6]

    Dodgers at Cubs 10/19/17 - NLCS Game 5 - MLB Picks & Predictions
    by Eddie


    Latest Odds : LAD -125 O/U 7.5

    The Los Angeles Dodgers will look to advance to the World Series when they battle the Chicago Cubs in Game Five of their NLCS on Thursday night from historic Wrigley Field. Last night, Los Angeles suffered their first defeat of the postseason by a 3-2 final score. Cody Bellinger and Justin Turner provided the only offense for the Dodgers by each connecting on sole home runs.

    Twenty-nine year old southpaw Clayton Kershaw (18-4 2.31 ERA) will take the mound for the Dodgers in this matchup. In Game One, Kershaw allowed five hits and two runs over five frames during a 5-2 Los Angeles victory.


    The defending World Series Champion Chicago Cubs have the potential to turn this series around, but need to get their bats going in a hurry. In Game Four, Javier Baez went deep twice and Willson Contreras added a solo shot of his own to power the Chicago offense. SP Jake Arrieta struck out nine batters and allowed just one run over six plus innings to earn the victory for the Cubs.

    Chicago skipper Joe Maddon will turn to lefty Jose Quintana (11-11 4.15 ERA) on Thursday night. Through 11 plus innings this postseason, Quintana has allowed just five hits and two earned runs while striking out 11 batters.


    Recent Betting Trends:
    Dodgers are 4-1 in their last 5 road games.
    Cubs are 10-3 in their last 13 home games.
    Under is 5-0-1 in Dodgers last 6 road games.
    Under is 4-0 in Cubs last 4 home games.
    Under is 14-3 in the last 17 meetings in Chicago.


    Free Betting Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers -125


    Los Angeles SS Corey Seager (back) feels considerably better but did not travel with the team to Chicago. Through 162 games, Los Angeles ranked 22nd in batting average and 12th in runs scored. For the season, Chicago ranked 16th in batting average and 4th in runs scored. The Dodgers have been the best team in baseball this season and will get the job done with their ace on the mound. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Dodgers win 3-1.

    Jim Feist's Comp Pick, Thursday, October 19, 2017

    NBA (505) LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS VS (506) LOS ANGELES LAKERS

    Take: OVER

    Reason: Your free play for Thursday, October 19, 2017 is in the NBA contest between the LA Clippers and the LA Lakers. The Lakers hope to have their No 2 pick in the NBA draft, Lonzo Ball, ready to play tonight. Ball missed most of the preseason with an ankle injury but has plans to play tonight. The Clippers begin their era without guard Chris Paul. In fact, the Clipper lost three starters, Paul, JJ Redick and Jamal Crawford during the offseason. With the excitement of Ball playing for the Lakers, they may become a betting favorite again this year. Expect this game to go back and forth at a fast pace tonight with all the new faces. I like these clubs to run up the score tonight. Take the OVER.
