MLB | MIA vs PHI
Play on: UNDER 8½ -112

Friday MLB Free play. My selection is on the 'under' between Miami and Philadelphia at 7:05 pm et on Friday.

With a starting pitching matchup of Sandy Alcantara against Aaron Nola I think a lot of bettors will look for reasons to back the 'over' in this season-opening N.L. East affair on Friday night. A deeper look has me looking to back the 'under' at Citizens Bank Park.

Sandy Alcantara will get the call for the Marlins. Command has certainly been an issue for Alcantara in his first two big league seasons, although last year was his first full season at this level, in which he made 32 starts, posting a respectable 3.88 ERA despite issuing nearly four walks per nine innings. Note that two years ago in a limited six-start stint, Alcantara issues over six walks per nine frames! I do look for him to take another step in the right direction this season and feel he can get off to a solid start against the Phillies on Friday night.

Aaron Nola counters for Philadelphia. He made a career-high 34 starts last season and took a bit of a step back following an incredible 2018 campaign, recording a 3.87 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in 2019. The fact is, Nola has turned in an impressive three-season run since 2017 and is certainly deserving of the Phils Opening Day nod here. Note that he worked at least into the seventh inning in all three starts against the Marlins last season.

We're being offered a fairly standard total of 8.5 here, slightly juiced to the 'under' at the time of writing. I would have had it pegged a half-run lower, and will take the advantage being offered here. Take the under (8*).

Weekly Bankroll Builder: July 24 Stronach 5 Play

July 22, 2020 | By Brian Nadeau

Back to battle with another Laurel Park-Gulfstream Park Stronach 5, which once again has a 100k guarantee, and a prospective pool that should far surpass that. To refresh, the Stronach 5 is a Pk5 wager spread across as many as four tracks and up to three surfaces (dirt, Tapeta and turf), inside of 90 minutes, with a $1 minimum and ridiculously low 12% takeout. I’ll be putting together some prospective tickets in this space each week for a wager that is undoubtedly as good as it gets for the bettors.

*** Please take note that this analysis is done upwards of 48 hours in advance, so obviously weather, track conditions and especially late scratches can and will have an effect. Please check back around 4pm Friday for an update***

Leg 1: Laurel Park R6 (3:23 ET) – 3upfm 16k N2L at 5 ½ furlongs (turf)

We kick off a sequence that seems a bit more manageable than most with a bit of a scramble, so I’ll go three-deep, with #1 ECHO OF VICTORY (5-1) rating as my top pick, not only because she should be a decent price, but because she looks like the right fresh new face in a race there for the taking off her strong MCL win last time. You have to use #3 RAGTIME SUZY (5-1), who goes off the Sanchez-Salomon claim (21%), gets back to the turf, and cuts back, as there’s no doubt her grass form is much better than her main track form. I’ll also slide in #5 HALFINTHEWRAPPER (9-2), off a speedy 2nd on the main, since her lone turf run came against eons better than she meets here, and this outside attack post seems perfect for her style.

Pk5 A horses: 1,3,5 (listed in order of preference)

I’m not sold on #6 JUDI BLUE EYES (4-1), who would be a big underlay at this price and has had her chances, but she’s in the mix on paper and will run on, so she looks the definition of a backup.

Pk5 B horses: 6

Potential B add-ins: #8 Pins and Needles (10-1), #2 Princess Rosie (10-1), #4 Merry Maid (10-1), #10 Sunday Red (6-1)


Leg 2: Gulfstream Park R8 (3:40 ET) – 3upfm Fl-bred AOC (16k/N1X) at 1-mile

With a ton of pace signed on, which could directly impact several of the would-be contenders, I’ll be aggressive here and use only two, with #5 ALLUSTRA (8-1), who will be nowhere near this ML, looking good from off the pace after facing open foes in his last five. I guess the horse to beat is #7 R U LUCKY (2-1), though betting him anywhere near this ML would be a bad idea, but he stretched out to this trip and was a solid 3rd at the level last time, and his pressing style from this post will give him first run on the pick too.

Pk5 A horses: 5,7

The expected hot pace, and the fact a few of the perceived contenders want to be part of it, makes me want to go it alone on the top line, so there will be no backups here.

Pk5 B horses: NONE

Potential B add-ins: #6 Ingreido (3-1), #3 So Long Chuck (4-1)


Leg 3: Laurel Park R7 (3:59 ET) – 3up 25k SOC at 1-mile (turf)

Another race where I think the win threats are easily identifiable, and I’m hoping #1 START WITH YES (9-2) gets brave off the Robb claim (24%) off a slew of sprints, as the lead is there for the taking, he’s certainly bred for this trip, and new rider Perez is a robust 26% for the barn. Obviously #4 SOMEKINDOFMAGICIAN (5-2) is the one to beat, as he’s proven routing, is tactical, and was just a close 2nd at the level, though his margin for error is a bit smaller than his off odds will suggest. Don’t sleep on #6 DHARMASTER (5-1), who predictably chased and tired to 5th behind ‘Magician last time, but that came off a 13-month layoff, so he’ll be a lot tighter here, especially since Trombetta is 25% second-off a long layoff.

Pk5 A horses: 1,4,6

I like the top trio I have and the rest seem a bit suspect, so I’ll go it alone, especially since my next pick, #2 Closer Look (5-1), has no speed and may regress off the big 3rd behind ‘Magician last time.

Pk5 B horses: NONE

Potential B add-ins: #2 Closer Look (5-1)


Leg 4: Gulfstream Park R9 (4:14 ET) – 3upfm 12.5k N2L at 5 ½ furlongs (turf)

In what looks like the biggest spread race of the sequence, I’m using a total of seven, with five on the top line, led by a price with #2 LADY PARADISE (10-1), who should be up close throughout off the long break for a D’Angelo barn that is 2-for-10 off extended layoffs, 3-for-13 (23%) with Panici, and this miss was a fast 3rd (for this group) when last seen on the turf. The trio of #10 ZIP IT JESS (7-2), #11 DINNER AT FIVE (2-1), and #4 GRAN DIAMOND (9-2) would be no surprise, but none of them inspire either, so I’d be hesitant on leaning too heavily on any of them. (As an aside, there’s just no way ‘Dinner can be 2-1 off a slow, all-out MCL win, so don’t just look casually and this she’s a single candidate). Lastly, I’ll toss in longshot #5 FLAMING LADY (20-1), who drops in half off a decent 6th in her turf debut, and she won’t have to run that much faster to play with, or even beat, this crew.

Pk5 A horses: 2,10,11,4,5

I could easily have put #3 PRINCESS AVRIL (10-1) and #12 R SEA SMOKE (5-1) up above, but the former wasn’t all that good facing winners last time, while the latter drew poorly and may need pace help on the drop, so I’ll limit their use to supporting actresses.

Pk5 B horses: 3,12

Potential B add-ins: #7 Dancingwithjimmieb (15-1)


Leg 5: Laurel Park R10 (4:33 ET) – 3up 12.5k claimer at 1 1/16 miles (turf)

If Leg 4 was the definite spread, then Leg 5 is the definite single, as #6 CHOCOLATE RIDE (8-5) just lays over a very modest field, especially since his biggest rival, #13 Jag (4-1) is on the AE list, as his four starts since going to Russell are simply better than anything this group has done in quite some time.

Pk5 A horses: 6

Should Jag draw in, then he could be used as a backup, since he drops in class and fits on figures, but even so, this post would do him no favors, as he’ll be wide every step of the way. As for the rest, no one inspires nearly enough to be worth inclusion.

Pk5 B horses: NONE

Potential B add-ins: #12 Posterity (9-2), #8 Bondurant (6-1)


The tickets:

Main Ticket: 1,3,5 with 5,7 with 1,4,6 with 2,10,11,4,5 with 6 = $90
Leg 1 B Backup: 6 with 5,7 with 1,4,6 with 2,10,11,4,5 with 6 = $30
Leg 4 B Backup: 1,3,5 with 5,7 with 1,4,6 with 3,12 with 6 = $36

Play on: UNDER 8½ -114

Ricky's Free play on Under 8.5.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

Key Trends:

- The White Sox have gone under in four straight home games.

- These teams have failed to reach the total in five of the last seven meetings.

- Berrios was 2-1 with a 3.54 ERA in three starts at US Cellular Field last year.

The verdict: look for runs to be hard to come by here in a battle of aces.

Play: 1H Total Under 4.5 (-105)

Bumgarner and Paddack the starters here. Both guys project as being very tough first time through the order, which is the name of the game when trying to garner an early inning O/U advantage. Paddack in particular was a terror in early innings last season, and while MadBum didn't have a great season, he was tough early in most games. I also like the fact this game is starting at about 6:10 Pacific time, and that late afternoon sun can be hell on hitters. Good spot to grab a F5 Under between the Snakes and Friars.

MLB | Braves vs Mets
Play on: Mets -139 at YouWager

** Friday Featured Free Play **

The MLB Comp Play for Friday is on the NY. Mets. Game 952 at 4:10 eastern. The Mets are the best opening day team winning 38 of the last 50 and all 4 vs the Braves. Nice Historical data. However the biggest reasons we like the Mets chances is they they fit 2 league Wide systems. One is to play on game 1 home favorites who had a worse record than their opponent last year. These teams are 39-19 long term. Also home favorites from -125-175 are a nice 48-16 with a nice return on investment. The Mets have the Degrominator on the Mound and he threw a side session on Tuesday and the back is good to go. The Mets have dropped 7 of his 8 starts at home vs the Braves and that has to turn around at some point since Jakes numbers v the Braves are solid. The Braves were swept here in September and Soroka has lost 4 of his last 5 road starts. We will back the Mets today. Rob V- GC Sports

Al Cimaglia: Hawthorne Racecourse Late Pick 4 Analysis July 24, 2020 | By Al Cimaglia
Hawthorne Racecourse has 13-races set to roll tonight and the 0.50 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 10. The sequence has a $10,000 guaranteed pool with a 15% takeout and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 10

2-OK Galahad (2-1)-Makes 3rd start for Petrelli barn and raced better versus $6k claimers in last and now drops. Leonard steers again, will have options from this post and is a major threat.
6-Major Jesse (15-1)-Only 3 for the last 55 and 1-23 in Stickney. Will put on the ticket with the driver change to Seekman and the drop. Could catch the speed if within striking range and the pace is honest.

Race 11

7-Crankin' It Up (8-1)-Took the scenic route in needed race for new barn. Makes 2nd start since 10/12 and will look for better. Hasn't won at Haw but did show good speed at the Mea last year. 10-year-old could be a threat if ready for a big try.
8-Sheriff Coffey (12-1)-Comes off a tough trip and is in a better spot versus this field. Should offer a big price and could leave for a good seat and stay in the hunt.
9-Fox Valley Triton (2-1)-Winner of >$107k in '19 seems an obvious choice. Drops into a soft spot and many will likely single as Leonard takes the lines. Winless in '20 and hasn't finished miles, needs more especially from post 9.

Race 12

1-Terror Of The Nite (5/2)-May have found a spot to capture 2nd win of the year. Smolin takes a seat and from the rail he should keep the 9-year-old in play.
6-Annihilator (7/2)-Warren chooses over #2 who he won with last week. Makes 4th local start and should like the company. Using and drops to a spot to shine.

Race 13

3-Bettor's Promise (9/2)-Gets post relief and this field doesn't have a real standout. Leonard sticks and will look for a strong try with this post draw.
4-Ricky Bobbie (20-1)-Wasn't Leonard's choice but best to not let the program odds scare you away. Bell needs to provide a good steer and can compete if put in play early on.
5-Dash Of Danger (7/2)-Was bet down to 4/5 versus NW $1500, had a dull effort and now bumps up. This is a tough race and will include but doesn't offer any value at the program odds. Ridge Warren takes the lines on Husted trainee.
6-Shark Play (3-1) -Sometimes HoP speed doesn't hold true on the Haw oval, but if so this 4-year-old is a player. Should like the company and has posted a 150.3 race time in Indiana this year.

Brian Nadeau's Daily Picks Saratoga - Race #4


Picks
Notes


#5 Malarkey
Rice charge goes for a barn that has started the meet very hot, has a stalking gear in a race with some speed, and could offer a hint of value as well; look out.


#8 Blunt Force
Heavy hitter was a very fast (for this group) winner last time, but it came against N3L foes, so this is a rise in class, although a repeat makes her tough; using.


#6 Stay Fond
Belmont winner rises slightly off a solid score and will be a late threat here, but spotting ground to them on this track hasn't worked a lot so far; underneath only.


Race Summary
There's a lot of positives on the 5, and she probably won't be favored either, so play her aggressively to win and place, and get some added value by keying her in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well, since she hits hard off her improving form, for a barn having a banner meet early on.


Saratoga - Race #7


Picks
Notes


#2 Towering
Homebred had a trip on debut then was a flat 5th last time behind a heavy favorite, but this is a group there for the taking, the cutback should work, and the price will be right too; look out.


#8 Snicket
Expected chalk was 2nd from a bad draw last time and certainly fits, but she cuts back and doesn't have a lot of speed, which may leave her with too much to do in the lane; second-best.


#10 Quantitativbreezin
Heavy hitter was a fast 2nd on debut, though it came in an MCL, so while she's best on figures, this is a rise in class, and she too is lacking early speed; making her prove at underlaid odds.


Race Summary
The price will be right on the 2, and the competition is too, as there's no one to fear here, so give her a look in all the slots, and especially in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well, as a win would add value to both sequences, and she may be poised for a breakthrough in the often pivotal third lifetime start.


Saratoga - Race #10


Picks
Notes


#10 Yah Huh
Longshot got to the turf last time and woke way up with a solid 6th, should only improve off that tightener, doesn't meet much, and will be ignored at the windows; bombs away.


#3 Bricco
Stalker has run just twice, so he's full of upside, and he also goes second-off the long break too, for a Bond barn that knows how to aim for a spot and deliver; looms very large.


#1 Aintitfunkynow
MSW dropper will be favored off that often potent angle, and Irad is here too, so there goes your value, on a horse that has basically been stuck in neutral in all six starts; no thanks.


Race Summary
The price will be right and then some on the 10, and he's really not far off the favorites here on paper, and he has every right to move forward off that turf debut a well, so give him a look in all the slots, and especially to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well, since he has the look of a sneaky longshot, for a Handal barn that knows how to spot its stock.

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks Laurel Park - Race #3


Picks
Notes


#3 Addadore
Showed pace in a solid debut race before just tiring late, and she'll return with the addition of Lasix this time around. Big chance -- 8/1?


#1 Tellmeonasunday
Another who flashed some forward ability in the debut run, but the rail draw might complicate things a bit at an underlaid price.


#6 Dontletsweetfoolya
Rating ability might be key here with at least three potential forward players signed on, and she wasn't embarrassed when just missing last out.


Race Summary
Addadore adds Lasix after giving way in the final yards of the debut run, and any improvement off that effort might be good enough to handle the trio coming out of that common local race.


Laurel Park - Race #4


Picks
Notes


#9 Purrageous Dyna
Has been in with some NY stakes groups over those recent starts, and she wasn't embarrassed in that turf sprint last out. Chance with these at a fair price.


#4 A Great Time
Tracking speed should get a great trip, but the price probably gets much shorter this time around, and there are an awful lot of underneath slices of late.


#3 Devant
Has been in with some very good groups, but her running style might leave something to be desired at this trip. Along late if ever.


Race Summary
Purrageous Dyna has a claim on the top spot here with some decent back starts to her credit, and that NY-bred turf sprint stakes spot last out might match up well here.


Laurel Park - Race #9


Picks
Notes


#1 Peachy Between Us
Trying a longshot here in the face of the 7/5 ML chalk drawn outside. This filly showed brief pace going long on the grass, but she has a very versatile pedigree that suggests she might handle the main. Why not?


#7 Ski Bunny
Rallied well going two turns in the local debut, but that came at 36/1 and now we're considering taking 7/5? Not for me.


#3 Ain't None Lucky
Doesn't own much of a serious finishing punch to put things away late, but she tends to be in a decent spot turning for home, so she has some potential utility underneath.


Race Summary
Peachy Between Us should be a big number, and she's worth a small swing on the move to the dirt after flashing pace and fading.

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks Meadowlands - Race #1


Picks
Notes


#9 SCIROCCO MISTYSAID
Strong recovery from early mishap, strong play despite post.


#2 JOHNNY CHIP
Close up to stretch through fast splits in improved comeback try with Lasix.


#6 MEADOWBROOK TIGER
Has speed, knows how to win, has back-class to awaken.


Race Summary
Scirocco Mistysaid went off stride shortly after the break, appeared to have plenty of trot while advancing in the middle half and raced 4- and 5-wide in the stretch to finish third in amateur drivers’ race. He is today’s best bet despite starting from post 9. Play a 9 with 2, 6 with ALL trifecta.


Yonkers - Race #1


Picks
Notes


#7 LONE RAIDER
Clean re-run of race two starts back lands him in winners’ circle.


#1 HOPETOBEFIRST
Won 18 times last year, moves outside in for third start back.


#2 BETTOR REASON N
Stalled in third quarter, surged in stretch as beaten fave.


Race Summary
Lone Raider, no threat in 1:51.4 against better last week, was better than his race two starts ago suggests. He won an early battle for the lead, settled for a pocket trip, awaited room as the odds-on favorite gave way and was free too late. Play a 7-ALL exacta.


Hawthorne - Race #1


Picks
Notes


#8 STRAIT RATE
Race two back good enough to win, price goes up after mishap in latest.


#6 ERNIE THE MOOSS
Rallied strongly for two seconds and a third recently.


#3 ONE R TWO
Led until stretch in split race that timed 1-3/5 seconds slower.


Race Summary
Not giving up on Strait Rate yet after he broke stride on the first turn last week. His race two back was good, but he stayed in while a lively outer flow developed and rallied widest in the stretch, albeit too late. Play an 8-ALL exacta.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks Gulfstream Park - Race #4


Picks
Notes


#8 Uncle Andrew
Has done well in two Gulfstream Park starts with a second and a third; the change in venue from Fair Grounds and a big class drop from the $30K claiming price paid by the Maker stable have helped his caused.


#7 Keepsakekitten
Was up in time vs. similar last out and has used an off the pace style in winning four of his seven races; well connected and a big player.


#4 Verdict Is In
Closed very well last time and just missed vs. Keepsakekitten; was in good form in three of his last four and could be one to hold off.


Race Summary
Uncle Andrew has the speed to get into a comfortable position and can get a good trip on the front end; could get any with moderate fractions and should be able to dig in when challenged.


Gulfstream Park - Race #7


Picks
Notes


#5 Bienville Street
Takes a step down from tough trips in stakes races; can take advantage of this class drop and can move well late vs. this group.


#4 Midnight Soiree
Ran well in stakes races, with a third and fourth, and drops to a level at which he can be very effective, especially since she can be close to the lead throughout.


#1 Marknmike
Seeks her third straight victory and can win on or off the turf; can get a ground-saving journey and likely will be around late.


Race Summary
Bienville Street gets a class break today and has been getting shuffled back and has had wide trips vs. better; expect improvement.


Gulfstream Park - Race #8


Picks
Notes


#5 Allurstra
Can move up on the class drop and comes in off a closing fourth vs. stronger company; Vasquez should have him rolling late.


#6 Ingreido
Has good speed, could carve out the fractions and has won two of his last three; improving.


#3 So Long Chuck
Likes to be on the front end and comes off an easy score; with get more pressure today and can still hang around for a big slice of it.


Race Summary
Allurstra can benefit from following a solid pace and has the best of chance of making a strong late run.

Handicapping the MLB Shortened Season

By hook or by crook the 2020 MLB season will begin, albeit more than 4 months delayed.

Due to the pandemic, the 2020 MLB campaign will be shortened to a 60-game season.

Note: A handful of teams saw their season conclude with only 161 games played. In those cases these teams are represented with results played over the span of the final 59 games played.

So the question begs – will teams approach this year’s 60-game season as if it’s the first 60 games on the schedule, or the final 60 games? That is the big question. My thought is more the latter, with the reward being a ticket to the postseason being just around the corner for teams fortunate enough to qualify.

If your'e looking for the largest differences from the first 60 to the final 60 games, then keep an eye on the below.

MLB Opening night (Part 2) and on Friday night at 9:40ET we get the Diamondbacks squaring off against the Padres in NL West action.
On the mounds we get Madison Bumgarner who has made five Opening Day starts for the Giants, including one against the Padres last year. The D-backs signed him to a five-year, $85 million free-agent deal this past winter to replace Zack Greinke at the top of the D-backs rotation.
For the Padres we get Chris Paddack, and this will be his first Opening Day start. After a series of restrictions and workload limitations in 2019, Paddack will be turned loose in 2020. IN 2019 Paddack faced the D-backs 3 times and allowed only two runs combined, winning both game 2-1. All 3 games managed to stay UNDER as well. He finished 6-3 with a 3.06 ERA in 11 home starts in 2019.
It's hard not to like what Bumgarner brings to the mound. He's playing with a 5-year 85M contract and we all know he's one of the best big game pitchers in the game's history. In 2019 he finished the season with a 3.90 ERA in a NL leading 34 starts for the Giants. He pitched to a 3.90 ERA/107 ERA+ with a K/BB ratio of 4.72 -- one of the best K/BB ratios of his career.
Bumgarner will be ready for Friday's game. He returned to his North Carolina home after baseball shut down in March and threw like he normally does during an offseason, but with a little more intensity we've heard and he's hit his stride just in time for opening night. Bumgarner went 2-1 with a 4.00 ERA in four starts against the Padres last season
Some trends to consider. Under is 5-1-1 in Diamondbacks last 7 games as a road underdog. 7-2-1 in Diamondbacks last 10 games as an underdog, and is 10-4 in Diamondbacks last 14 road games vs. a right-handed starter.
Look for this game to go UNDER on Friday night.
Good Luck, Razor Ray.

MLB public betting, line movement, sharp money for July 24
Patrick Everson

The Mets, with Jacob deGrom taking the ball, opened -140 at PointsBet USA and ticked up to -145 by Thursday night. Stay tuned to Covers for the latest updates.

MLB betting odds are on the board for Opening Day Part II, with 14 games on the Friday slate. Among the highlights is an NL East clash between the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets, and the defending AL champion Houston Astros are in play, too.

PointsBet USA’s Patrick Eichner provided insights on MLB opening lines and early line movement, sharp money, and public betting for three Friday matchups. Covers will update this action report with MLB sharp picks vs. public bets and line movement throughout the day Friday.

MLB line movement

The Mets, with Jacob deGrom taking the ball, opened -140 earlier this week at PointsBet USA and ticked up to -145 by Thursday night. Correspondingly, the Braves moved from +120 to +125 behind Mike Soroka.

In the Milwaukee Brewers-Chicago Cubs game, Chicago opened -120 and moved to -125, with Milwaukee going from even money to +105. And the Astros are hefty -310 home favorites, after opening -295, with the Seattle Mariners shifting from +225 to +240.

MLB sharp money

As of Thursday night at PointsBet USA, the only game seeing sharp bets among the aforementioned trio was Braves-Mets.
“We saw some sharp action come in on the Mets at -140,” Eichner said. “Good value for a deGrom start.”

MLB public betting

There’s noteworthy early public play on all three games at PointsBet USA.

“We’re seeing most of the public money come in on the Braves, Brewers and Astros,” Eichner said, noting moneyline ticket counts of 77 percent, 68 percent and 87 percent, respectively.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES

# 1 DECORATED FOR GOLD 9/5




# 7 BELLA KRISTINA 4/1




# 2 IYATTA 5/1




I think DECORATED FOR GOLD is a respectable choice. Diodoro has this filly racing well and is a very strong choice based on the solid Equibase Speed Figures earned in route races lately. As of late Thornton has been on fire which may give the edge to this filly. Will most likely compete solidly in the early pace battle which bodes well with this group. BELLA KRISTINA - Has garnered solid Speed Figures in dirt route races in the past. Her 58 average has this mare with among the strongest Equibase Speed Figs in here. IYATTA - Should hit the board without any worries. With a decent 62 speed figure last time out, will clearly be a factor in this race.

Rating: https://www.trackmaster.com/images/golden.jpghttps://www.trackmaster.com/images/golden.jpghttps://www.trackmaster.com/images/golden.jpg

#1 MOUNT TRAVERS (ML=7/2)
#7 FREE ENTERPRISE (ML=5/2)
#2 RUNAWAY LUTE (ML=20/1)


MOUNT TRAVERS - This colt garnered a nice speed figure of 106 in his last race. That speed fig should be strong enough to triumph today. FREE ENTERPRISE - A gelding like this one, almost always in the money, usually makes an excellent trifecta key horse. RUNAWAY LUTE - I'm optimistic this horse will run well today. Last work was 2nd fastest of the day, which tells me he's sharp right now. Sub-par effort last time around the track at Laurel was due to the off-going (he ended up 12th). Expect better in this race under better track conditions.

Vulnerable Contenders: #9 STRIKE THAT (ML=3/1), #6 ZOOMER (ML=5/1), #3 CERRETALTO (ML=8/1),

STRIKE THAT - Tough to bet on any horse in a sprint event at 3/1 when he hasn't shown any on the board results in sprints in the last sixty days. ZOOMER - In the last affair this pony finished fifth. Doesn't look good for his chances this time out. Disappointing speed rating last race out at Belmont Park at 7 furlongs. Don't feel this vulnerable equine will improve too much in today's event. CERRETALTO - Didn't look like a winner last time out. Probably won't make an impact in today's race.

#8 BLUEGRASS PATRIOT (ML=5/2)
#2 CARMELITA'S MAN (ML=12/1)
#10 NICKEL CURVE (ML=12/1)
#3 SUMMER FUN (ML=5/1)


BLUEGRASS PATRIOT - This front-runner should be aided by today's shorter distance. Glatt drops him down to this class level. You don't need too much more information to think this thoroughbred will be tough to beat at this level. CARMELITA'S MAN - Taking this jockey/handler combination is a good choice. I always like to see a racer getting Lasix for the 1st time. Carava adds it on this one today. NICKEL CURVE - Roman and Carava partnered with one another are a horse gambler's friend. I always like to see a pony getting Lasix for the first time. Carava adds it on this one today. SUMMER FUN - When Franco and Gaines unite on equines the return on investment has been fabulous at +28. This gelding's last fig is good enough to win here, I'll play him right back in today's event. Gaines drops him down to this level. You don't need too much more handicapping knowledge to think this horse will be tough to beat at this level. Look at this pattern of improvement. 35/72/84 are the last 3 speed figures. Gaines moves this gelding to the dirt today. Look for a marked improvement from the most recent grass race.

Vulnerable Contenders: #11 EL DIABLO ROJO (ML=7/2), #6 IRREPROACHABLE (ML=8/1), #9 TIGER'S SONG (ML=8/1),

EL DIABLO ROJO - Awfully tough to wager on this pony when he hasn't been showing any gumption of late. This gelding hasn't had any in the money results in sprint races in the last 60 days. IRREPROACHABLE - Today's affair is 5 1/2 furlongs. Hasn't hit the board in a short distance race in the last two months. Not the best of indicators. TIGER'S SONG - The fifth place finish in the last race was not that great. In any event of 5 1/2 furlongs, I like to bet on a contender that has been sharp in sprint contests recently. When scrutinizing today's Equibase class figure, he will have to register a better fig than last race out to battle in this dirt sprint.

# 6 MS VAY DELL 7/2




# 4 MYFASTPRIZEJORDAN 9/2




# 2 HEZA FOREVER LUCKY 5/1




I lean toward MS VAY DELL here. Reason to like this filly as she has in the saddle one of the best jocks using winning percentages over the last month. Had one of the top Equibase speed figs of this group in her last contest. I think having Alvarez ride this filly is a smart selection. MYFASTPRIZEJORDAN - Garcia has one of the strongest winning percentages in this group with entries running at this distance and surface. The speed figure of 80 from his most recent affair looks strong in here. HEZA FOREVER LUCKY - Looks strong for the conditions of this outing today, showing solid figures in short races lately. Ought to compete admirably in the pace contest which bodes well with this group.

Public likes Toronto, MLB sharp bets fade homeless Blue Jays
Patrick Everson

The Rogers Centre will remain empty this MLB season, as the Canadian government rejected the Toronto Blue Jays' bid to play their home games at home. Their search for a stadium continues.

As the Toronto Blue Jays scramble to find a home stadium, there’s been a varied response by way of MLB public betting and sharp money. Last week, the Canadian government denied the Blue Jays’ request to play their home games at Rogers Centre, the team’s home field, due to COVID-19 concerns relating to travel back-and-forth to the U.S.

SportsInteraction, a Canadian-based online book, definitely saw an effort to fade Blue Jays odds in multiple MLB betting markets. That’s led to some line movement and helped balance an onslaught of money from home-country fans.

Sharp bets fade Blue Jays

"We've seen a massive hit on the Under,” SportsInteraction head of trading Phill Gray told Covers on Thursday, alluding to Toronto’s season win total of 28.5. “And the lack of a real home is driving action in the outrights to their rivals, offsetting the huge liability that's been set (this year), given the optimism around this young team of future stars."

For the moment, SportsInteraction has taken down the Blue Jays’ season win total, along with futures on the AL East, AL championship and World Series.

Public betting on Blue Jays

The Jays’ current lack of a home field doesn’t mean all bettors are fading the squad. PointsBet USA director of communications Patrick Eichner said that, although Toronto’s season win total is currently off the board, the Jays are seeing money in other markets.

“The Blue Jays are still a hot underdog-type ticket,” Eichner said, noting the Jays are drawing dollars to win the AL East in moving from a hefty +3,000 to +2,500 – still fourth among the four teams – as well as some fliers to win the World Series at +8,000. “It’s an attractive price, and there’s a chance to catch fire with a lot of young, exciting players. They aren’t quite as much of a public darling as the White Sox and Reds, but they are close.”

Toronto opens the season with five straight road games – a three-game set beginning Friday against the Rays, followed by two against the Nationals. Then the Blue Jays are due to host Washington next Wednesday and Thursday. Nobody is yet certain where those games will be played, though they’ll need to be in the U.S., based on the Canadian government’s decision.

MLB | Pirates vs Cardinals
Play on: Cardinals -1½ +100 at 5Dimes

10* FREE MLB PICK (Cardinals -1.5, +100)
I'll gladly take my chances here with St Louis winning by 2 or more runs in Friday's season opener against the Pirates. St Louis is one of the favorites to win the NL Central (division odds +250), while Pittsburgh is the consensus pick to finish last (+6000 to win division). It's not just a matter of the Cardinals being the better team.
This is 100% based on the starting pitching matchup. St. Louis will send out Jack Flaherty, who has a 1.84 ERA and 0.932 WHIP over 7 career starts against the Pirates. In his last 4 starts against Pittsburgh he has allowed a mere 2 runs on 15 hits with 30 strikeouts in 28 innings of work.
On the flip side of this, Pirates' Joe Musgrove has gone 1-6 with a 7.05 ERA and 1.486 WHIP in 7 career starts against the Cardinals. He's made 5 of those 7 starts at St Louis and allowed 24 runs in 25 innings of work. All 5 of those resulted in Pittsburgh losing by at least 2 runs with 4 of the 5 coming by 5 or more runs. Give me the Cardinals -1.5 (+100)!

MLB | TOR vs TAM
Play on: UNDER 7½ +105

Take Under the Total in the game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Tampa Bay Rays listing both starting pitchers Hyun-Jin Ryu and Charlie Morton. Toronto (0-0) paid $80 million dollars over four seasons to attract Ryu to come over from the Los Angeles Dodgers. The left-hander boasted a 14-5 record with a 2.32 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP in twenty-nine starts last year. The Blue Jays have played 7 of their last 10 road games Under the Total as an underdog. Toronto has also played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total with the number set in the 7-8.5 range. Tampa Bay (0-0) has played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total against left-handed starting pitchers. The Rays look to build off their 96-66 record which saw them lose in a climactic fifth game in the ALDS to Houston. They give the ball to Morton who was 16-6 with a 3.05 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP in thirty-three starts last year. Tampa Bay has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against fellow AL East opponents. Take the Under while listing both starting pitchers. Best of luck — Frank.

955 Toronto at Tampa Bay
Despite the recent history of these two clubs head to head, the Blue Jays are showing solid value. The projected starting lineups show Toronto to have a 966 to 832 wRC+ advantage. We also rate Ryu slightly better than Morton based on the past three seasons of ERA+. We really like both these teams this season to surprise, but the current line is too high in our opinion.

The Marlins are definitely worth a look here tonight. This team could hit the ball but they left so many on base last season. I dont think they will be an easy out at all this season. Alcantara has brought his best stuff against the Phillies as well with a 3-1 record and a 2.80 ERA. I like this Phillies team going forward but tonight they are over priced. Nola is also just 3-6 against the Marlins

Dave’s Friday Free Play:
1* on Royals/Indians OVER 9
The Key: The Indians have a great lineup and the Royals have a sneaky good lineup, especially among their Top 6 in the order. But the key here is that both starting pitchers have struggled against their opposition. Danny Duffy is 3-11 with a 5.83 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 17 lifetime starts against Cleveland. Shane Bieber is 3-0 in spite of a 5.22 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 5 lifetime starts against Kansas City. The OVER has gone 5-0 in those 5 starts. Take the OVER.

Jack’s Free Pick Friday: Colorado Rockies -103
The Colorado Rockies have a loaded lineup that is much more potent than the one the Texas Rangers will be fielding on Opening Day as they break in their empty new $1.2 billion stadium Friday. This is a great price to back Colorado tonight.
German Marquez has earned the Opening Day start for the Rockies. He went 7-3 with a 3.67 ERA in 15 road starts last season, is the clear ace of this staff, and he is their one starter that I definitely trust when he takes the mound.
Give some credit to Lance Lynn for turning around his career last season going 16-11 with a 3.67 ERA in 33 starts for the Rangers. It’s just that I question the run support he’s going to get this season with one of the worst lineups in baseball. Bet the Rockies Friday.

MLB | Diamondbacks vs Padres
Play on: Diamondbacks +139 at 1BetVegas

My free play is on the Arz D'backs at 9:10 ET.The Dodgers are the overwhelming favorite to capture their EIGHTH consecutive NL West title, while the rest of the division seems to be an afterthought. The D'backs finished 85-77 in 2019 but that still left them 21 games back of LA. As for the Padres, they finished in the NL West 'basement' at 70-92, 36 games back. However, both teams had their hopes bolstered on the eve of the opener when the postseason was expanded from five to eight teams in both leagues.
Starting for the Arizona Diamondbacks will be veteran Madison Bumgarner, who went 9-9 with a 3.90 ERA in 2019 for the Giants. The Padres will counter with Chris Paddack (9-7, 3.33 ERA in 2019). Bumgarner needs no introduction, as he opens the 202 season with a 119-92 record (3.13 ERA) in 11 seasons (286 starts) with the Giants. He also owns three World Series rings (2010, 2012 & 2014), along with a World Series MVP in 2014 (two wins and one save / 0.43 ERA, 0.48 WHIP and 17-1 KW ratio). Paddack made 26 starts as a rookie in 2019, as the Padres put him under strict restrictions because he was just three years removed from Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery.
Arizona won 15 more games last season than San Diego, outscoring the Padres 93-65 to take 11 of the 19 meetings between the teams. Baumgarner will take teh mound against a San Diego team that ranked last in the National League in team batting average (.238), 27th in the majors in runs scored (682) and 26th in onbase percentage (.308) in 2019. I'll take the vet!
Good luck...Larry

Andrew Heaney sports a 3.99 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in six previous starts against the Oakland A’s. The Angels have a much improved batting order this year and I love the addition of Joe Maddon. All he’s done is take the Tampa Bay Rays to the World Series out of nowhere while also earning the Cubs their first World Series title in over a century. He is just the man to get the most out of the massive talent the Angels possess. I like them as a nice dog here in the opener. Give me the Angels.
