Oct 19, 2017
The Houston Astros left home a few days ago feeling very good about their chances to win the American League pennant and advance to the second World Series in franchise history, but returned home with a very different feeling. The Astros will try to stay alive one more day and force a decisive Game 7 of the AL Championship Series when they host the New York Yankees in Game 6 on Friday.
Houston won the first two games at home but totaled only nine runs in the series after leading the majors in scoring with 896 runs during the regular season, and it is looking for more from George Springer (2-for-18 in the series) and Josh Reddick (0-for-17) at home in Game 6. "It will be great," Astros manager A.J. Hinch told reporters of getting back to Houston. "There weren't a lot rooting for us here. I think getting home will be good for us. We'll have an off day (Thursday), and then get to play in front of our home crowd. Every home team has won this series, if that trend continues, we'll be in pretty good shape." The Yankees finally found their offense at home while winning all three games, and are starting to get production from Aaron Judge (4-for-9, two homers, six RBIs in the last three games) and Gary Sanchez, who drove in five runs in the last two contests. "I give our guys a lot of credit for how resilient they are, and how they continue to fight and never give up and understand, take it one game at a time and don't panic," New York manager Joe Girardi told reporters. "And just continue to fight."

PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees RH Luis Severino (1-0, 5.56 ERA) vs. Astros RH Justin Verlander (3-0, 2.04)
Severino is hoping to go deeper into Game 6 after being lifted from Game 2 following the fourth inning, when he struggled to get loose and was hit in the wrist by a comebacker. The 23-year-old Dominican was checked out by doctors and quickly cleared. Severino surrendered a solo home run to Carlos Correa in that outing and was strong in his lone AL Division Series appearance, yielding three runs and four hits in seven innings against Cleveland.
Verlander went up against Severino in Game 2 and earned the win while hurling a 124-pitch complete game. The former AL MVP yielded one run and five hits while striking out 13 and walking one to earn his third win in as many 2017 postseason appearances. Verlander is 8-0 with a 1.39 ERA in eight appearances since arriving in a trade from the Detroit Tigers on Aug. 31.
WALK-OFFS
1. Astros C Brian McCann is 2-for-26 in the postseason, including 0-for-10 in the ALCS.
2. Yankees DH Chase Headley went 5-for-8 in the last three games after going 0-for-15 in his first six postseason contests.
3. Houston is 4-for-27 with runners in scoring position in the series.

#3 COURT DANCER qualifies as a TrackMaster PLUS "PowerPony," takes a class drop (-6) and has hit the board in "POWER RUN FASHION" facing better company in three of her last four outings. Jockey Irad Ortiz and Trainer Jason Servis send her to the post ... they've hit the board with an impressive 72% of their last 90 entries saddled as a team to date, winning at an equally impressive 30% clip. #1 SPECIAL DIVIDEND, a 10-1 BOMB, has hit the board in four of her last five outings, winning three times in this recent streak of racing consistency, with two those "Circle Trips" also qualifying as "POWER RUN WINS."

# 2 ELLE WOODS TOO 6/1
# 4 WHYUGOTTABESOMEAN 7/2
# 6 SLEW'S CHARM 12/1
ELLE WOODS TOO has a formidable shot to take this race. Should be carefully examined - I like the numbers from the last race. Has a solid shot in this competition if you like back class. WHYUGOTTABESOMEAN - Will more than likely be one of the leaders of the pack going into the halfway point of the contest. Strong jockey with trainer numbers make this horse a solid selection. SLEW'S CHARM - Should definitely be considered for this event if only for the quite good speed rating earned in the last race. Earning some good dough in dirt sprint contests.

Gulfstream Park West - Race #4 - Post: 2:54pm - Maiden Claiming - 8.5 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $17,000 Class Rating: 84
Rating: 4
#4 ANOTHER SOFTBALL (ML=5/2)
#7 SUPER JAK (ML=3/1)
ANOTHER SOFTBALL - Have to give this gelding a chance. Ran a strong contest last time around the track within the last 30 days. Always be wary of the longer priced horse when a trainer has an 'uncoupled' entry in a race. The 88 latest race speed fig looks mighty good in the TrackMaster PPs. SUPER JAK - The return on investment when Olivero and D'Angelo team up is terrific. The 'x-factor' at work here is that this gelding has been working over this track getting ready for his first start. Gets help from D'Angelo with the addition of Lasix. The trainer here (D'Angelo) has a fantastic ROI with 1st time starters.
Vulnerable Contenders: #1 DI MAESTRO (ML=2/1), #5 ROWDY DOWDY (ML=9/2),
DI MAESTRO - Hard to bet on at 2/1 odds after the last two showings. Garnered a pedestrian speed rating last race out in a $20,000 Maiden Claiming race on September 1st. Improbable to see an improved performance off of that number. ROWDY DOWDY - Awfully tough to bet on this mount when he hasn't been showing any indications of eagerness of late. When checking today's class rating, he will have to record a better speed figure than in the last race to be competitive in this turf route.
Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: The Turf Man - ANOTHER SOFTBALL - This racer is a nice turf runner and he has the best last race TrackMaster turf rating.

The Walker Group Picks
# 6 SO MANY NATIVES 4/1
# 1 VENOMOUS STATE 3/1
# 5 SOMETHING QUINTO 10/1
I lean toward SO MANY NATIVES here. In this field, this horse is highly ranked earnings per start in dirt sprint contests. With a strong 60 average speed figure at the distance, seems well suited for today's contest. Hard to pass on this gelding with Burg in the saddle. VENOMOUS STATE - He looks decent in this spot and I expect will be on the lead or close at the midpoint. Has a strong shot for this event if you like back class. SOMETHING QUINTO - Gamblers get an edge when playing this conditioner in a dirt sprint race. The almost immediate return to the track points to a reliable effort this time around.
