AL Divisional Series Cheat Sheet
Kevin Rogers

The Wild Card round is over as the 16-team field has been sliced in half to eight squads seeking a World Series title. No team will have home-field advantage the rest of the way as the four remaining series will be played at neutral sites in California and Texas.

The divisional playoff round in the American League will take place in San Diego and Los Angeles. AL East rivals Tampa Bay and New York will square off at Petco Park, while AL West foes Oakland and Houston hook up at Dodger Stadium.

#1 Tampa Bay Rays vs. #5 New York Yankees

at Petco Park, San Diego

TB: 42-20 SU, 28-31-3 O/U
NYY: 35-27 SU, 31-27-4 O/U

Game 3 - Wednesday, Oct. 7 - TBD (TBS)
Game 4 - Thursday, Oct. 8 - (If Necessary)
Game 5 - Friday, Oct. 9 - (If Necessary)

The Rays and Yankees aren't exactly the best of friends as these two division rivals are meeting in the postseason for the first time ever. Tampa Bay cruised to the AL East title for the third time in franchise history and first time since 2010. The Yankees are making their fourth straight playoff appearance as they are seeking their first World Series trip since 2009.

Tampa Bay took care of Toronto in the Wild Card round by outscoring the Blue Jays, 11-3 in a pair of wins. Former Cy Young winner Blake Snell won his first ever playoff start in a 3-1 triumph in Game 1, followed by six-run second inning breakout by the Rays in an 8-2 blowout in Game 2.

The Yankees' potent offense showed up by posting a pair of double-digit run performances in a two-game sweep of the Indians. New York rolled past Cleveland in the series opener, 12-3 behind Gerrit Cole's 13 strikeouts in seven innings. The Yankees erased an early 4-0 hole and a ninth-inning deficit to capture Game 2 by a 10-9 count behind three home runs, including a grand slam by third baseman Gio Urshela.

The Rays have advanced to the ALCS only once in franchise history, coming during their World Series run in 2008. The Yankees are seeking their third ALCS appearance in the last four seasons as they lost to the Astros the first two times (and are still alive in the other ALDS matchup).

Tampa Bay dominated the season series by taking eight of 10 meetings from New York. The Rays knocked off the Yankees five of six times in the Bronx, while Tampa Bay went 2-1 in three games against Cole, who is scheduled to start Game 1. Rays' hurler Tyler Glasnow defeated Cole and the Yankees twice, as the right-hander struck out 17 batters in the two victories.

Game 5 - Friday, Oct. 9 - (If Necessary)

No matter the sign-stealing controversy, the injuries, the managerial change prior to the season - the Astros just won't go away. Houston finished the season as one of two playoff teams to own a losing record, but the Astros managed a two-game sweep of the Twins, who have amazingly lost 18 consecutive playoff contests since 2004.

The Astros are still the defending American League champions and are seeking a third World Series trip since 2017. Houston's pitching carried them past Minnesota in the Wild Card round by allowing one run in each of the two wins. Houston cashed as a road underdog in each victory, as the Astros entered the playoffs with the worst away mark of any postseason squad.

The Athletics put up a dud offensively in Game 1 against the White Sox, but Oakland rebounded with five runs in a Game 2 victory and six runs in the series-clinching triumph of Game 3. The A's rallied from a 3-0 deficit in the deciding game with a four-run fourth inning to capture a playoff series for the first time since 2006.

Oakland has had some tough luck in the Wild Card round the last few seasons, but is playing in the ALDS for the first time since 2013, when the A's fell to the Tigers in five games. The Astros have advanced past the ALDS each of the last three seasons, but needed five games to knock out the Rays in 2019.

The A's won six of 10 meetings this season from the Astros, as Houston was limited to two runs or fewer in seven of those games. As a result, seven of those matchups finished 'under' the total, while the favorite won eight of 10 times.

Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight - 8.0f on the Turf. Purse: $33000 Class Rating: 71

FOR REGISTERED INDIANA BREDS MAIDENS, THREE YEARS OLD AND UPWARD. THREE YEAR OLDS, 118 LBS.; OLDER, 122 LBS. IF THIS RACE IS TAKEN OFF THE TURF, IT WILL BE RUN AT 1 MILE AND 70 YARDS ON THE MAIN TRACK.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 8 INDOCUMENTADO 2/1
# 7 PRADO'S PLAYBOY 4/1
# 5 AKAMAI 7/2

INDOCUMENTADO looks to be a quite good contender. Has competitive Equibase speed figs and has to be considered for a bet in here. Must be given a chance based on the quite good Equibase Speed Fig put up in the last contest. Seems to have a strong class edge based on the most recent company kept. PRADO'S PLAYBOY - The winning percentage shown by horses entered by Dobbs running at this distance are the most respectable in this group of horses in this race. Earned a strong Equibase Speed Figure in the most recent race. Can run another good one in this race. AKAMAI - Has to be given a chance as he drops to compete against this less demanding field of horses. The Equibase Speed Figure of 80 from his last affair looks very strong in here.

Belterra Park - Race #1 - Post: 12:35pm - Allowance - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $23,000 Class Rating: 58

Rating:

#1 BEST OF YOU (ML=9/2)
#2 POWER BANKER (ML=6/1)


BEST OF YOU - When the real racing starts, this mare should be flying down the lane. Johnson drops her down to this class level. You don't need too much more data to believe this horse has a good chance at this level. Ran a less than stellar race at Thistledown last out. Racing under normal track conditions puts this mare at the top of my list of contenders. POWER BANKER - Cline brings her right back. I propose you stick with this strong filly. The jock/handler duet of McKee and Cline has a strong ROI together. That 58 fig this filly garnered in her last affair tells me she's a chief player today.

Vulnerable Contenders: #3 CACKI (ML=2/1), #6 LOVE YOU GOODBYE (ML=3/1), #5 MISS ELIANA (ML=4/1),

CACKI - A bit of a less than stellar effort when this filly finished fifth. LOVE YOU GOODBYE - Hard to put your cash on the win end of any mount that finishes second and third as frequently as this one does. Don't think this pony will make an impact in today's race. That last speed rating was common when compared with today's class figure. MISS ELIANA - Oddsmaker's morning line of 4/1 make this animal a pass by my standards.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 5 AJ CHICK IN 15 8/5
# 1 FAST STREAKIN NICK 2/1
# 2 ELENORR 3/1

I think AJ CHICK IN 15 is a solid choice. Reliable average speed figures in short races make this equine a key contender. Looks very strong versus this group of horses and should be one of the leaders. Posted a solid Equibase speed fig last time out. FAST STREAKIN NICK - Has to be given a chance against this group displaying very strong figs as of late and an average speed figure of 76 under similar conditions. He looks strong in this slot and I expect will be on the lead or close at the midpoint. ELENORR - Has been running solidly in races of this distance, going 6 out of 28 under similar conditions. Is hard not to consider based on Equibase Speed Figures which have been respectable - 71 avg - of late.

Presque Isle Downs - Race #4 - Post: 6:00pm - Maiden Special - 8.3 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $36,000 Class Rating: 74

Rating:

#13 BEAM OF LIGHT (ML=4/1)
#11 INDEPENDENCE LAW (ML=12/1)
#6 STELLA STELLINA (ML=7/2)


BEAM OF LIGHT - Look for this filly to run lots better right here in this race. Last affair at Delaware Park finishing seventh on the soft turf is no sign of her true ability. Taking a trip to a lower class rank; has the class to make her presence felt. Rodriguez and Trombetta teamed up together are a handicapper's friend. Trombetta moves this filly to the dirt today. Look for an improvement from the most recent grass race. INDEPENDENCE LAW - After the race aboard this animal on September 15th, the jockey is going to be in touch with the filly much better. This pony coming off a nice contest in the last 30 days is a contender in my humble opinion. STELLA STELLINA - Horseplayers took note of this filly in her maiden race at Monmouth Park, sending her off at low odds. Look for an increased ability in this event. Strong return on investment for this jockey and trainer duo.

Vulnerable Contenders: #10 PYTHAGOREAN (ML=3/1), #7 ECLECTIC SOUL (ML=5/1), #5 BY THE BOOK (ML=6/1),

PYTHAGOREAN - Hasn't been on the Presque Isle Downs oval in the last three weeks. Cause for some concern. ECLECTIC SOUL - Will not be easy for this horse to beat this group off of that last rating. Doubtful to improve enough to run a figure close enough to today's class figure, so put her on the questionable contenders list.

GUEST COMMENTARY: The Brain - STELLA STELLINA - Watch out for this filly. Clement gives her Lasix for the 2nd straight time. My massive database says this racer should perform well today.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Go with #13 BEAM OF LIGHT on top if we're getting at least 5/2 odds
EXACTA WAGERS:	13 with [6,11]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	Box [6,11,13] Total Cost: $6

MLB (901) NEW YORK YANKEES VS (902) TAMPA BAY RAYS

Take: (901) NEW YORK YANKEES

Reason: Yankees have been hitting the ball very hard and scoring lots of runs. They advanced to the ALDS and get to see their payoff for picking up Gerritt Cole during the offseason. Cole didn't have the best of starts to the season, at least by his standards. However, since they changed his catcher he seems to have really dialed up and now looks like the pitcher the Yankees paid so much money for. These teams hate each other and I give the hitting and pitching edge in this one to the Bronx Bombers. Your free play is on the Yankees.
