Brian Nadeau's Daily Picks Saratoga - Race #3


Picks
Notes


#2 Whatdoesasharksay
Toner charge has faced some good ones of late, looks like the controlling speed on paper, especially with Saez and this post, and sure doesn't meet much; come and catch the pick.


#5 Setting the Mood
Lightly raced miss for Pletcher was 2nd to an easy winner last time and did beat the pick, so you know she figures, but the former might like this longer trip a bit more; second-best.


#3 Coilean Bawn
Logical sort was a distant 3rd to a rousing winner last time, and with Rosario up you know she'll finish, but a tepid early pace might be hr ultimate undoing; comes up short in the lane.


Race Summary
Pace makes the race and there's none here to keep the 2 from making the lead, slowing it down, and hopefully having enough left late, and in this case the added ground might actually help, so play her in all the slots, and especially in the early Pk5, and to kick off the early Pk4 as well, since a $9 winner in a five-horse field would actually add plenty of value to both sequences.


Saratoga - Race #4


Picks
Notes


#6 Bold Article
Intriguing GP invader went long and two turns on the turf in an MSW in her bow and was a meek 5th, but the fact Joseph shipper her up here, cuts her back, and drops her, says this is the spot he had in mind all along; call in a real scramble.


#5 Joqular
Fellow MSW dropper didn't take a cent of money when 59-1 in her debut, though she didn't run terribly when 6th for a Ribaudo barn that never wins on debut, and now, on the drop, off that tightener, so she too is eligible to wake up; do not ignore.


#3 Tiz Splendid News
Ward firster will get bet hard for a 29% debut barn, and the fact she hasn't started yet is certainly not a negative against a group like this, who haven't exactly been tearing it up in the afternoon, though she'll be overbet too; still, plenty scary.


Race Summary
You should get fair value on the 6, and that's imperative, as her debut wasn't much, but there's reason to think she'll be much tighter here, and with a group there for the taking then 5-1 or so seems fair, so give her a look in all the slots, and especially in the early Pk5/Pk4 as well, since this is a wide open race, and getting a horse home in the 6-1 range will knock out plenty of tickets.


Saratoga - Race #6


Picks
Notes


#1 She's a Black Belt
Stalker drops stiffly in class off a N1X when last seen in February, and while the break isn't ideal, catching a group with a ton of pace sure is; mows them all down late.


#3 Assume
Stiff ML favorite laughed at MCL foes for Pletcher and now goes off the claim for Maker, but stepping up, and meeting a ton of other speed won't make it easy; trying to beat.


#2 Grudge
Speedy miss has been turf sprinting and chasing hot splits, so she'll be active early, though her lone dirt run wasn't much and this post won't help either; underneath only.


Race Summary
Pace makes the race and this one is loaded with early heat, and the 1 has shown she can sit back and make a run, so play her aggressively to win and place, and especially in the late Pk5, and to kick off the late Pk4 as well, since she looks like she's getting all the best of it here.

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks Mountaineer - Race #6


Picks
Notes


#4 Sweepingthenation
Doesn't always finish with energy, but the rest of this group is full of forward and chasing players, so the race shape may flatter his occasional ability to run on late. Price player can do.


#5 Vineyard
Brings decent Midwest form with him, but he tends to give away ground late and meets some other players with the same issue. The one to beat may be vulnerable late?


#7 High Esteem
Draws well to chase from the outside, but he's another who doesn't often find a serious finishing punch. Underlay?


Race Summary
Sweepingthenation should get a decent race shape to work with from off the splits today, and the price should be right to try to get him in the mix with the logical pair listed with him above.


Mountaineer - Race #2


Picks
Notes


#5 The Pirates
Hit or miss form is a concern, but that last one stacks up nicely from when he got back to the local lawn, and something similar could possibly do the trick in a soft spot here.


#6 Dime Dropper
Ran a big one to graduate when rained to the main last out, and he has some decent back turf form that can keep him in the mix with these.


#1 Imperial Guard
Form doesn't tower over these, but he has been in with better groups on better circuits than he's going to find in this local debut. Forward player should be respected.


Race Summary
The Pirates and Dime Dropper look like the right ones in here, but the former will offer a better price and has some experience over the local footing.


Mountaineer - Race #3


Picks
Notes


#2 Zurlin
Has been a short price in both local starts while failing to deliver, but she's not meeting a very tough bunch and can probably handle these with something like her last.


#1 Unruly Julie
Brings really dull form to this, but perhaps the move back to the lawn can wake her up, as she beat a modest local crew in her only lifetime turf try.


#4 Jot
She's surely never getting back to the 2018 turf form, but that one grass try was the best of her career, so perhaps the surface switch allows her to reverse really dull form.


Race Summary
Zurlin is probably a little bit dicey here at a short price, but it's really tough for me to come up with an acceptable alternative. Thinking she's going to find tonight's group one that she can handle.

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks Harrah's Philadelphia - Race #2


Picks
Notes


#7 OWN IT
Tried to separate from field on final turn, came up just short.


#2 TWOMACSONESHADOW
In good form, gets ideal set up, but 0-36 the last two years.


#1 CHARGER BLUE CHIP
Likes to win, moves outside in, has loyal following.


Race Summary
Own It set a fast pace, tried a breakaway run in the third quarter and got caught in his bid for four wins in a row. He can control things better in here and return a quick claim dividend. Play 7-1 and 7-2 exactas.


Harrah's Philadelphia - Race #6


Picks
Notes


#7 TEST MATCH
Passed post 9 test, but settled for second behind odds-on favorite.


#2 BELIEVER
Showed pulse in debut in tougher condition, could make exotic wagers pay.


#6 SEBASTIEN DUHARAS
Blew stretch leads the last two times he raced at this level.


Race Summary
Test Match chased the 2-to-5 winner around the track at Pocono Downs in an improved second start as a 3-year-old. He figures tough with Napolitano summoned to drive. Play 7-2 and 7-6 exactas.


Northfield Park - Race #3


Picks
Notes


#8 INCREDIBLE WHINER – C
#8 INCREDIBLE WHINER – Can contend on best, won’t be whining about the price.


#4 RETIREMENT ACCOUNT –
#4 RETIREMENT ACCOUNT – In money in both starts outside of sire stakes and stallion series.


#9 FLAMING ANDIE – Shoul
#9 FLAMING ANDIE – Should be on the move early from difficult starting spot.


Race Summary
Can’t get excited about the favorites, so why not a longshot stab on 25-1 Incredible Whiner? He won three starts back, finished a troubled fourth in follow-up and was no factor from post 8 in his latest try. He has comparable speed figures to the main contenders and the barn is solid with trotters. Play a 4-8-9 exacta box.

Portland Trail Blazers vs LA Lakers 8/26/20 - NBA

The Portland Trail Blazers will be on the brink of elimination when playing Game 5 on Wednesday in their NBA Western Conference quarterfinals best-of-seven series against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Trailblazers were defeated by the Lakers 135-115 in Game 4 on Monday and trail 3-1 in the series. Portland trailed by 18 points after the first quarter and by 29 at the half and could not mount a second half rally. Jusuf Nurkic scored 20 points in the loss.

Jusuf Nurkic is the leading rebounder for Portland with an average of 10.5 per game. CJ McCollum is the second leading scorer with an average of 20.0 points per game and is one of four players for Portland averaging double figures in scoring.

Los Angeles looks to clinch its best-of-seven series on Wednesday. The Lakers scored 43 points in the first quarter and 71 in the first half to post a lead the Trail Blazers could not beat. LeBron James scored 30 points and handed out 10 assists in just 28 minutes of action. Anthony Davis chipped in with 18 points but played just 18 minutes due to back spasms.

Recent Betting Trends

Portland is 1-5 ATS in its last 6
The OVER has cashed in 7 of the Trail Blazers last 10
Los Angeles is 4-9 ATS in its 13
The UNDER has cashed in 10 of the Lakers last 15

Free NBA Pick: Under 227

The Los Angeles Lakers will defeat the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 5 and clinch the series, but the play here is the UNDER. The UNDER has cashed in 10 of the Lakers last 15. In this series, the UNDER has cashed in three of four games. Damian Lillard hurt his knee for Portland and is questionable while Anthony Davis suffered back spasms for Los Angelies and could rest. Take the UNDER to cash. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Lakers win but our best play is UNDER 113-102.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

OKC Thunder vs Houston Rockets 8/26/20 - NBA

The Oklahoma City Thunder looks to take a one game lead in their NBA Western Conference quarterfinals best-of-seven series when playing Game 5 on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. Oklahoma City evened the series at 2-2 following a 117-114 victory on Monday over the Rockets. Dennis Schroder was the leading scorer for Oklahoma City with 30 points and the Thunder rallied from a third-quarter deficit of 15 points to win.

Oklahoma City has five players averaging double-figures in scoring.

Houston built a 15-point third-quarter lead in Game 4 but could not hold off the hard-charging Thunder. James Harden scored 32 points, handed out 15 assists and pulled down eight rebounds in the loss for Houston. Eric Gordon chipped in with 23 points. Russell Westbrook did not play for the fourth consecutive game due to a strained right quad and is doubtful for Wednesday's Game 5.

The OVER has cashed in 6 of the Thunder’s last 8
Houston is 2-5 ATS in its last 7
The OVER has cashed in 4 of the Rockets last 6 versus a Western Conference opponent

Free NBA Pick: Oklahoma City Thunder +3

Houston is missing its second leading scorer and leading rebounder Russell Westbrook, who has missed the first four games of the series and is likely to miss Game 5. The Rockets have failed to cover the number in each of the last two games versus Oklahoma City with both resulting in straight up losses. Look for that trend to continue on Wednesday with OKC winning and covering. Final Score Prediction, Oklahoma City Thunder wins and cover ATS 119-111.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Orlando Magic vs Milwaukee Bucks 8/26/20 - NBA

The Wednesday NBA Playoff schedule will tip-off with a matchup between the Orlando Magic and the Milwaukee Bucks from the Walt Disney World Resort. The eighth seeded Magic are undermanned and on the brink of elimination. In Game Four, Orlando was outscored by 12 points during the fourth quarter of a 121-106 loss. The Magic connected on 18-for-45 from the three-point line in defeat.

All-Star C Nikola Vucevic continued his stellar play with 31 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists. Markelle Fultz added 15 points and seven assists in a losing effort for the Magic.

The Milwaukee Bucks were the top rated defensive teams during the regular season and have started to impose their will on this series. On Monday, the Bucks used a 21-2 run starting late in the third quarter and extending into the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach. Milwaukee assisted on 29 of their 45 made field goals and shot 50 percent from the field.

MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo matched a game-high with 31 points on 14-for-21 shooting and grabbed 15 rebounds. Khris Middleton contributed 21 points and ten rebounds for the Bucks.

Recent Betting Trends

Magic are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss.
Bucks are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win.
Over is 22-5-1 in Magic last 28 overall.
Over is 4-1 in Magic last 5 games following a straight up loss.
Over is 7-3 in Bucks last 10 overall.

Free NBA Pick: over 226.5

Orlando F Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has not appeared in this series and is listed as questionable for Game Five. With Gordon sidelined, Evan Fournier has not been able to step up for the Magic. Milwaukee will advance with a win on Wednesday with a game that will go over the total. Final Score Prediction, Milwaukee Bucks win but our top play is on this over total 124-110.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

LA Galaxy vs Seattle Sounders 8/26/20 – MLS (SOCCER)

The Galaxy are a team that has struggled quite a bit on the year so far. The Galaxy have played in 6 games on the year and have won only 1 game on the year. The LA team has managed to get a couple of draws in the game but the team had 3 losses as well.

So far this season the Galaxy have been able to score a total of 7 goals on the year. When it comes to the passing the LA Galaxy have managed to get 4 assist so far. The Galaxy defense has allowed a total of 11 goals to be scored against them so far.

Seattle is heading to the game here with a decent record in their 6 games that they have played so far. The Sounders have managed to find their way to second place in the table and have a total of 3 wins on the year, 2 draws, but have a loss on the year as well.

For their part the Sounders have ended up getting a total of 11 goals on the year. When it comes to playing defense, though, the Sounders have ended up giving up a total of 8 goals on the year so far. The passing for Seattle has been decent with a total of 5 assist on the year so far.

Free Soccer Pick: Seattle Sounders +169

With the game here it will be one that the teams are going to be fairly evenly matched. The difference is the fact that the Sounders are coming in a little bit better off and more rounded team. With the Sounders team they have looked good defensively as well and that could help them out here. Even with the dominance the Galaxy have shown in the past it will be impossible for them to come in and win the game here. Final Score Prediction, Seattle Sounders win 2-1.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Real Salt Lake vs LAFC 8/26/20 – MLS (SOCCER)

Real Salt Lake is heading into the game here sitting in 6th place in the table. Real Salt Lake is coming in with a total of 6 games played on the season so far. That has led to them getting 2 wins, 3 draws, but a loss as well. That translates to 9 points on the year.

The offense for the Real Salt Lake team has only managed to get a total of 9 goals on the year so far. The defense for Real Salt Lake has allowed a total of 9 goals on the year. The passing offense for Real Salt Lake is not that great with 5 assist on the year so far.

LAFC is coming to the match here sitting in 5th place in the table. They have ended up getting the exact same record and points total that has been seen for Real Salt Lake on the year. The main reason why LAFC is in they hold a +6 in the difference.

LAFC is coming to the game here with an offense that has scored a total of 20 goals on the year. The defense for LAFC has allowed 14 goals to be scored against them. The passing attack for LAFC has managed to get a total of 10 assist on the year.

Free Soccer Pick: LAFC -125

The game here will be one that is even on paper when it comes to the records, but the Real Salt Lake team has struggled quite a bit offensively on the year so far. The Real team also has not played the best defense. The LAFC club has managed to do good offensively and while they have given up more goals on the year the LAFC club should be able to contain the Real Salt Lake team rather easily. Final Score Prediction, LAFC wins 3-1.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

FC Dallas vs Colorado Rapids 8/26/20 - MLS (SOCCER)

On Wednesday, FC Dallas hosts the Colorado Rapids at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas for a showdown in the MLS. FC Dallas has not yet won or scored in its three matches since the MLS restart. Dallas battled to a 0-0 draw Friday against the Houston Dynamo in its most recent fixture. However, the lack of scoring is beginning to frustrate the attacking third for Dallas.

Dallas has now had nil-nil draws in each of its last two matches played and was outshot by Houston on Friday 17-7 while putting only one of its seven shots on frame. Dallas’ possession in the draw was just 43.1% compared to 56.9% for Houston. Dallas played a five man back line against the Dynamo, but that hurt the attack third for the club and could be changed against Colorado.

Colorado has lost three of its most recent four fixtures including a home defeat against Real Salt Lake of 4-1 in its most recent outing. Colorado has lost five consecutive times two Real Salt Lake in the Rocky Mountain Cup. The Rapids opened up the scoring in the first-half but then conceded four unanswered goals during the second half in the loss.

Free Soccer Pick: under 2.5

In the 38 matches that have been played in Dallas between the two clubs, Dallas has 24 victories, Colorado has eight victories and six have ended in a draw. Both FC Dallas and Colorado are coming off frustrating matches with FC Dallas failing to score in a 0-0 draw and Colorado being embarrassed at home 4-1 by Real Salt Lake. Dallas is having a hard time putting the ball in the net, while Colorado is having a hard time keeping it out of its own goal. Look for a low-scoring UNDER total in this. Final Score Prediction, FC Dallas wins but our best play is UNDER 2-0

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Inter Miami CF vs Atlanta United FC 8/26/20 - MLS (SOCCER)

Inter Miami CF will host Atlanta United on Wednesday at Inter Miami CF Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for a MLS fixture. Inter Miami is coming off its first victory in MLS play after defeating Orlando City SC on Saturday night. Inter Miami has some of the best young players from South America in the league including Julian Carranza a 20-year old from Argentina and Matias Pellegrini another 20-year old also from Argentina.

Inter Miami defeated Orlando City 3-2 after suffering five defeats by just one goal and being ousted early in the MLS is Back Tournament. Carranza started up front for Inter Miami and scored two goals, while Rodolfo Pizarro scored one goal and assisted on another. There appears to be no shortage of offense for Inter Miami but it's backline was too loose at times in the win.

Atlanta United is also coming off a big victory after defeating Nashville for the second time in the first six weeks of the MLS season. Atlanta boasts its own stars from South America with 27-year old Pity Martinez and 21-year old Ezequiel Barco. Martinez, who formerly played for River Plate, posted his first brace in the MLS in Atlanta’s 2-0 victory over Nashville.

Atlanta was able to keep a clean sheet against Nashville, although it will not be as easy when facing Inter Miami as the south Florida club has shown it has a potent front line and solid midfield that will give United problems throughout. Martinez will also have to come up big in the attack third of the pitch if Atlanta hopes to come out on top on Wednesday.

Free Soccer Pick: Inter Miami CF +165

This is the first time Inter Miami and Atlanta United have played head-to-head since it’s Inter Miami's inaugural season in the MLS. Inter Miami's confidence is at an all-time high after its first-ever victory in the MLS on Saturday and the south Florida-based club has several young, talented South American players that will pressure Atlanta upfront from start to finish and produce another win. Final Score Prediction, Inter Miami CF wins 3-2

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Orlando City SC vs Nashville SC 8/26/20 - MLS (SOCCER)

Orlando City SC hosts Nashville SC at Explorer Stadium on Wednesday and looks to bounce back from defeat as the Lions play their first match at home since late February before the covid-19 pandemic. Orlando City lost 3-2 to Inter Miami CF on Saturday in Fort Lauderdale. The loss came after Orlando City had an impressive run during the MLS s Back Tournament reaching the final.

Manager Oscar Pareja was not pleased with the lack of play in the defensive third for Orlando City especially when it came to defending the many crosses made by Miami during the match. Since the MLS schedule has Orlando City playing several matches in a short period of time, players have been rotated and at times makes it difficult to come up with a top unit on the pitch. Daryl Dike started up top four Orlando City and scored a goal and added an assist and is likely to be in the top 11 again on Wednesday.

Nashville is coming off a 2-0 loss at Atlanta United. The loss was Nashville's third straight during its inaugural season with two of them coming against Atlanta. The most recent defeat at Mercedes-Benz Stadium came after two straight clean sheets in back-to-back matches at Toyota Stadium against FC Dallas.

The inaugural season has started off slow for Nashville FC as the club has failed to score a goal in three of its first five matches and has scored only two goals over that same span which must be concerning for manager Gary Smith. In five matches played, Nashville has only taken 16 shots with only six being on target, which makes it very difficult not only to score but to win.

Free Soccer Pick: Orlando City SC -115

This will be the first time the two clubs have played one another since it is Nashville's inaugural season in the MLS. The advantage here goes to Orlando City not only due to playing on its home pitch but its offense is much stronger than that of Nashville and its roster has several experienced players. Daryl Dike is coming off a match with a goal and an assist and will play a prominent role in Orlando's victory on Wednesday. Final Score Prediction Orlando CIty SC wins 3-0

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Washington Mystics vs Atlanta Dream 8/26/20 - WNBA

The Washington Mystics look to snap a two-game losing streak when playing the Atlanta Dream on Wednesday. Washington dropped to 4-9 following its 88-87 loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday. In the loss, Tianna Hawkins led Washington with 19 points, while Ariel Atkins added 18 points. Myisha Hines-Allen pulled down a team-high 13 rebounds and handed out a career-high eight assists.

Misha Hines-Allen is the leading scorer and rebounder for Washington with averages of 16.2 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. The leader in assists is Emma Meesseman with an average of 4.5 per game. Ariel Atkins is the second-leading scorer with an average of 14.8 points per game. Washington continues to play without stars Elena Delle Donne, Aerial Powers and Tina Charles.

Atlanta looks for its second consecutive victory when facing Washington on Wednesday. The Dream improved to 3-11 following a 78-75 upset victory over the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday. Betnijah Laney was the leading scorer for Atlanta in the victory with 16 points, handed out a team-high 10 assists and pulled down eight rebounds. The victory snapped a 10-game losing streak for the Dream.

Betnijah Laney Is leading Atlanta in scoring and assists with averages of 16.8 points and 4.5 assists per game. Monique Billings is the leading rebounder for the Dream with an average of 8.6 per game. Atlanta has just three active players averaging double-figures in scoring, as overall leading scorer Chennedy Carter remains sidelined with an injury.

Recent Betting Trends

Washington is 1-4-1 ATS in its last 6
The UNDER has cashed in 7 of the Mystics last 11
Atlanta is 2-5-1 ATS in its last 8
The OVER has cashed in 5 of the Dream’s last 7

Free WNBA Pick: Atlanta Dream +3

Both Washington and Atlanta are having extremely poor seasons in part due to injuries. The Mystics continue to play without stars Elena Delle Donne, Aerial Powers and Tina Charles, while Atlanta may get leading scorer Chennedy Carter back from an injury. The Dream played very solid defense down the stretch to upset Minnesota on Sunday and will pull off another surprise victory against the Mystics on Wednesday. Final Score Prediction, Atlanta Dream wins and cover ATS 85-79.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Minnesota Lynx vs LA Sparks 8/26/20 - WNBA

The Los Angeles Sparks meet up with the Minnesota Lynx at the IMG Academy. The Sparks won over the Dallas Wings 84-81 their last time out, the 7th straight win for the Sparks, and improved their record on the season to 10-3 on the year. The Lynx had a three-game winning streak snapped by the Atlanta Dream, as the Lynx fell 78-75 and dropped their record on the season to 9-4.

The Sparks are one of the hottest teams in the WNBA and behind the resurgence of veteran Candace Parker are averaging 86.3 points per game ranking 4th in the WNBA in scoring offense. The key for the Sparks has been their efficiency, shooting 48.2% from the field and 40.9% from beyond the arc which leads the league in 3-point percentage. Parker leads the team in scoring with 14 points per game while also adding 9.8 rebounds per game, leading all of the WNBA in rebounding.

Minnesota’s offense has been nothing special this season but has been good enough to get the job done coming in averaging 81.5 points per game ranking 6th/12 in the WNBA this season. The Lynx has three players averaging 14+ points and are led in scoring by Naphessa Collier who leads the way with 15.8 points per game and is second on the team wiht 8.7 rebounds per game. The Lynx will be missing Slyvia Fowles with a calf strain and is averaging 16.4 points per game and ranks second in the WNBA in rebounding with 9.7 boards per contest.

The Lynx defense has been one of the best in the WNBA this season, allowing just 76.4 points per game and holding opponents to 42.7% from the field. Minnesota has a stout defense which has gotten them to a 9-4 record but their offense has shown some vulnerabilities. LA comes in allowing 79.2 points per game ranking 3rd in scoring defense and opposing teams are shooting 44.1% against the Sparks defense.

Recent Betting Trends

Los Angeles is 7-2 ATS in its last 9 games
Los Angeles is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games
Los Angeles is 5-0 ATS and SU in its last 5 games when playing Minnesota
Minnesota is 8-3 SU in its last 11 games
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Minnesota's last 5 games

Free WNBA Pick: LA Sparks -7

The Sparks have won seven straight games and look to be unstoppable in their recent run of games. With the Lynx at full strength, this game could go a different way but with the veteran leadership of Candace Parker, the LA offense overwhelms Minnesota. Minnesota looked like a completely different team their last time out, falling to the 3-11 Dream and their woes continue against the top echelon of the WNBA. The Sparks hold the average Minnesota offense below 80 points and the offense catches fire on the way to their 8th straight win. Final score prediction, LA Sparks win and cover ATS 87-75.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Phoenix Mercury vs Connecticut Sun 8/26/20 - WNBA

The Sun will be coming into the game here with a somewhat decent record on the year. The Sun have ended up with a 6-8 record overall. The last game that the Connecticut team played in ended up being a win over the New York Liberty by a 82-65 score.

The leading scorer for the Sun on the year so far has been DeWanna Bonner who has put in a total of 18.3 points a game. She has managed to shoot at a clip of 41.9% on the year so far. The rebounding leader for the Sun is Alyssa Thomas who has ended up getting 8.9 boards a game, but has managed to get a total of 4.7 assist per game.

Phoenix is coming into the game here playing a little bit better than the Sun. The Mercury have ended up getting a 7-7 record on the year so far and have looked fairly impressive in how the team has been playing. The last game for the Mercury ended up being a 88-87 win over the Washington Mystics.

Leading the scoring for Phoenix has been Diana Taurasi who has put in a total of 16.5 points per game, but is only shooting at a clip of 38.7% on the year from the floor. Taurasi also leads the Mercury in the assist department with 5.1 per game. One glaring question mark for the Mercury would be who can take the rebounding lead as Brittney Grinner was the leading rebounder, but left the bubble.

Free WNBA Pick: Connecticut Sun +3

In the game here the Sun are going to have an advantage as the Mercury have to adjust with the loss of Grinner who left the bubble. Look for the loss of Grinner to bring the Mercury team a lot of question marks on the year as the Sun are able to control the rebounding department and that helps out quite a bit in the game here as the Sun have an easier time prevent second chance shots. Final Score Prediction, Connecticut Sun win 79-75.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Dallas Stars vs Colorado Avalanche 8/26/20 - NHL

The Dallas Stars have taken a commanding 2 games to none lead after getting a win in their last game. With the win the Stars were able to put in another 5 goal showing on the day. However, unlike the first game which seen the Stars give up 3 goals the Dallas team only allowed 2 goals to be scored in the game here.

In the second game of the series the Stars were able to rip off only 27 shots on net. The Dallas team managed to get a total of 60 hits in the game. Dallas did end up winning 30 faceoffs, but to help them out even more the Stars were great on the power play with a 2-3 success rate.

Colorado is facing a situation that they were not really expecting to be in. The Avalanche had been a dominating team for most of the postseason and now are down 2 games to none. To make matters even worse for the Avalanche is the fact that they are using their back up goalie in the net, but also have fallen flat offensively so far as well.

With the Avalanche they managed to get a total of 40 shots off the sticks and to the net. The Avalanche have ended up with a total of only 29 hits in the game. The faceoff battle is one that seen the Avalanche win a total of 39 faceoffs. One aspect that Colorado was outmatched in was the power play as Colorado only converted on 25% of the faceoffs.

Free NHL Pick: Dallas Stars +120

The game here is one which the Avalanche have their backs on the wall and they are not really showing up offensively. The staunch defense from Dallas is definitely playing havoc with the Avalanche offense and until the Colorado team figures out how to beat them the pressure on the Avs net minders will be to much and that leads to Colorado losing this game as well. Final Score Prediction, Dallas Stars win 4-1.

Now, the game here will be one that the teams are familiar with each other and they both know what it takes to score against the other team.

The win for the Tampa Bay team ended up evening up the record with the Bruins. Now, the other aspect of the game is the Lightning offense was able to put quite a bit of pressure on the Bruins defense and showed that it has cracks. The Bruins for their part are going to come into the game and have to figure out how to play better defensively and keep the Lightning offense off balance.

In the loss the Boston club managed to get a total of 25 shots on the goal. The Bruins were also a very physical team as well with 47 hits in the game. When it comes to the faceoffs the Bruins were able to get a total of 33 faceoffs won.

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Reilly Opelka 8/26/20 - Cincinnati Masters Tennis

Greek tennis superstar Stefanos Tsitsipas has made it into the quarterfinals of the 2020 ATP Cincinnati Masters. At this stage of the tournament, Tsitsipas will play against Reilly Opelka from the United States.

Reilly Opelka has one of the biggest serves on the ATP tour and he showed that in the previous round where he defeated the number 6 seed, Matteo Berrettini. Opelka hit 19 aces which helped him win 60% of his service points and all of his serve games. Opelka also won a return game and a tiebreaker to secure the win. It has been a good tournament for Opelka as he has enjoyed playing on home soil. This is expected to be a much tougher match for Reilly Opelka as he is playing against the number 4 seed.

Looking at Stefanos Tsitsipas, the Greek player has looked in immense form as he started the tournament by defeating Kevin Anderson and then defeated John Isner in the previous round. The win against Isner was a highlight of quality serving with Tsitsipas winning all of his service games while hitting 10 aces and only 1 double fault. Tsitsipas is yet to lose a service game in this tournament and he is looking very strong as he enters this match. Prior to the halt for COVID, Stefanos Tsitisipas was having a very strong season as he finished second at ATP Dubai while winning the Open 13 in France.

This will be the first time that Stefanos Tsitsipas will be playing against Reilly Opelka in a head-to-head match at an ATP event.

Free Tennis Pick: Stefanos Tsitsipas

Taking everything into consideration, I am going to pick Stefanos Tsitsipas to win this match. Stefanos Tsitsipas is an exceptional player and he has been playing at a level above in this tournament. I see this being an easy win for Tsitsipas who should win in straight sets.

The 3-2 loss dropped the Athletics to 20-10 on the season are still first in the AL West.

The Rangers are one of the worst offenses in the MLB this season and come in batting just .210 ranking 29th in team batting average and are averaging 3.71 runs per game making them the worst scoring offense in the MLB.

The Athletics offense ranks 25th in team batting average coming in batting .225 as a team but have managed to score plenty of runs averaging 4.87 runs per game to rank 12th in the MLB. The A’s have a ton of weapons at the plate including third baseman Matt Chapman who is batting .264 but has hit 9 homeruns and driven in a team-high 22 runs on the year. Tied with Chapman for the team lead in homeruns is first baseman Matt Olson who despite batting .164 has hit 9 homeruns and driven in 20 runs this year.

The Athletics early season success can be attributed to their lights out pitching staff that comes in with a team ERA of 3.54 ranking 5th in the MLB this season.

The series opener was a monumental game for the Rangers who had lost their last seven games and needed desperately to get back to winning ways., The A’s, on the other hand, really lost nothing with the loss. They are still one of the best teams in the MLB, they still lead their division and were facing Lance Lynn, who has been dominant for the Rangers this season. With Allard taking the mound in this game it’s hard to see how the Rangers can recreate that success and how the top 10 scoring offense doesn’t get teh bats going against a pitcher who has struggled like Allard. The A’s offense comes out revived and gets the win behind a solid bullpen. Final score prediction, Oakland Athletics win 8-5.

Philadelphia Phillies at Washington Nationals 8/26/20 - MLB

NL East Division rivals will square off in the nation’s capital, when the Philadelphia Phillies take on the Washington Nationals. Last night, C J.T. Realmuto homered and drove in three runs to power Philadelphia to an 8-3 road victory against Washington. SP Jake Arrieta (2-3) allowed one run across five frames to pick up the win for the Phillies, who improved to 11-14 overall.

Twenty-seven year old righty Aaron Nola (2-2 3.10 ERA) is without question the ace of the Philadelphia staff. Through 29 innings, Nola has fanned 40 batters and posted a stellar 0.90 WHIP.

The Washington Nationals have dropped 12 of their first 18 home games and are falling out of playoff contention. On Tuesday, SP Erick Fedde (1-2) gave up four runs in five innings and was charged with the loss. Adam Eaton and Trea Turner each took the ball out of the yard for the Nationals, who are in last place.

Thirty-one year old southpaw Patrick Corbin (2-2 3.99 ERA) will get the nod for the Nationals in this contest. Washington has lost Corbin’s last two starts and he has been tagged for eight runs over his last 11 plus innings.

Washington SP Stephen Strasburg will miss the remainder of the season due to carpal tunnel syndrome. Through 25 games, Philadelphia ranks 6th in OPS and 16th in runs scored. Washington counters with an offense that ranks 10th in OPS and 18th in runs scored. Take the under. Final Score Prediction, Washington Nationals win 4-3.

Pittsburgh Pirates at Chicago White Sox 8/26/20 - MLB

The Wednesday MLB schedule will get underway with an interleague battle between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Chicago White Sox from Guaranteed Rate Field. Last night, SP Steven Brault gave up four runs and recorded 12 outs during a 4-0 road loss against Chicago. OF Gregory Polanco struck out three times for the Pirates, who fell to 7-18 on the season.

Twenty-eight year old righty Trevor Williams (1-4 3.70 ERA) will make his sixth start of the season for the Pirates. Through 24 plus innings, Williams has fanned 23 batters and posted a respectable 1.36 WHIP.

The Chicago White Sox have won 18 of their first 30 games and trail Minnesota by 1.5 games for the AL Central Division lead. On Tuesday, SP Lucas Giolito (3-2) became the first Chicago pitcher to strike out ten plus batters in a no-hitter. OF Luis Robert collected three hits and scored a run for the White Sox on the evening.

The White Sox will counter with veteran left-hander Dallas Keuchel (4-2 2.65 ERA) on Wednesday. Last time out, Keuchel allowed just one run and six hits across eight frames during a 10-1 victory against the Cubs.

Chicago Cubs at Detroit Tigers 8/26/20 - MLB

The Cubs are coming to the game here with a good 18-10 record, but the Cubs are actually fairly impressive on the road as well. The Cubs have ended up with a 6-2 record on the road so far. The Tigers have been able to get a 11-16 record overall, but playing at home the Tigers are not that great of a team with a 4-10 record on the road.

With the Cubs this year they have recorded a total of 189 hits on the year and have managed to hit at a clip of .224 this season. The Cubs have ended up getting a total of 122 runs scored and have managed to get a total of 32 homers on the year. With the Tigers they have ended up with a total of 201 hits on the season, but have hit at a clip of .234 this year. The Tigers have managed to get a total of 120 runs and cranked out 37 homers this year.

Jon Lester is heading to the mound for the Cubs in this game. Lester on the season has managed to get a 2-1 record and a 5.06 ERA. Lester has thrown a total of 26.2 innings on the year while striking out 17 batters but has allowed 25 hits and 4 walks this season.

Michael Fulmer is the pitcher who is going to the mound for the Tigers. Fulmer on the year has managed to post a 0-0 record and a horrible 9.53ERA. When it comes to the number of innings pitched Fulmer has thrown only 11.1 innings while striking out 10 batters and walking 5 batters while giving up 18 hits.

Recent Betting Trends

The total has gone OVER in 6 of Chi Cubs' last 8 games.
Chi Cubs are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games against Detroit.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Detroit's last 5 games.
Detroit are 2-11 SU in their last 13 games.

Free MLB Pick: Chicago Cubs -145

The pitching for the Cubs is going to be better in the game here as Fulmer has struggled this year. Not to mention the pitching from Fulmer will not be able to go deep in the game and that could make it very difficult for the Tigers to have a good game that would help them in reaching the bullpen and having consistent pitching for the entire game, which makes it easier for the Cubs to light up Fulmer and the Tigers pitching in general. Final Score Prediction, Chicago Cubs win 7-4.

Twins at Indians 8/26/20 - MLB

The Twins and the Indians are definitely a top level competition on the year between the teams. On the game here the Twins are coming into the game with a 20-10 record overall. The road record on the year for Minnesota has not been overly impressive at 8-7. The Indians on the year have managed to get a 17-12 record and now the Indians when playing at home are sitting on a 7-7 record so far.

For the Twins the team has ended up getting an average of .245 with 233 hits so far. Minnesota has ended up getting a total of 140 runs scored and managed to get a total of 42 homers on the year. Cleveland has managed to not do so well in hitting with only 188 hits and an average of .208. The Indians have ended up scoring only 112 runs and cranked out 25 homers.

Jose Berrios is the pitcher the Twins are planning on putting on the mound in this game. Berrios has posted a 2-3 record this year with a 4.75 ERA. Jose has thrown a total of 30.1 innings on the year and has struck out 33 batters, but has allowed 28 hits with 14 walks.

Adam Plutko is coming to the game here with a 1-2 record overall, but has managed to get an ERA of 6.88 on the year. Plutko has thrown a total of 17 innings on the year, but only struck out a total of 9 batters. When it comes to the number of hits allowed Adam has ended up giving up 21 hits, but only has walked 3 batters.

Recent Betting Trends

The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Minnesota's last 11 games.
Minnesota are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Cleveland's last 6 games.
Cleveland are 7-3 SU in their last 10 games.

Free MLB Pick: Minnesota Twins -130

The game here is one that features a Twins offense that has done decent on the year facing an Indians team that generally relies on their pitching to get the win locked down. Now, the difference in the game here is Plutko is not that good of a pitcher and that will lead to the Twins getting a good jump in the game here as the Twins are able to rock Plutko and then shut down the Indians offense to secure the win. Final Score Prediction, Minnesota Twins win 6-2.

NBA public betting, line movement for August 26
Patrick Everson

LeBron James and the Lakers can finish off the Trail Blazers in Game 5 Wednesday. Portland won't have Damian Lillard (ankle), and Los Angeles is a 14-point favorite at The SuperBook.

NBA betting odds are up for Wednesday’s trio of conference quarterfinal matchups. The top seeds in each conference can advance to the second round of the NBA playoffs, with the Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks in position to end their respective series in five games.

The SuperBook at Westgate provided insights on NBA opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Wednesday’s matchups.

NBA line movement

With Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard sitting out due to an ankle injury, The SuperBook opened the Lakers 12.5-point favorites Tuesday morning, and the line was up to -14 by Tuesday night. Los Angeles boatraced Portland 135-115 in Game 4 to take a 3-1 series lead. The Blazers-Lakers total is also on the move for a 9 p.m. ET tipoff, opening at 225.5 and dropping to 221.5.

Mirroring the Lakers, the Bucks lost Game 1 of their series against the Orlando Magic, then won the next three, including a 121-106 victory Monday night. Milwaukee opened -14 for the 4 p.m. ET Game 5 tipoff, and there was no movement Tuesday.

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets meet in Game 5 at 6:30 p.m. ET, with that series tied at 2. The SuperBook opened Houston -3.5 and ticked to -3 Tuesday afternoon.

NBA public betting

Eric Osterman, manager at The SuperBook, noted two of the three games were getting early attention.

“Most of the early action so far for Wednesday's games has been on the Lakers. We’re getting public money on the spread -14 and the moneyline -1,400,” Osterman said. “We’re seeing some bets sprinkle in on the Rockets -3, but nothing big yet.”

Game 5 Odds: Thunder vs. Rockets
Michael Crosson

The 4-5 matchup in the Western Conference will heat up on Wednesday when fourth-seeded Houston will look to get back on track against fifth-seeded Oklahoma City.

The Rockets captured the first two games in the series by double-digit margins but the Thunder have rallied for back-to-back victories, one coming in overtime and the other decided by just three points.

Betting Resources

Matchup: Western Conference Game 5
First Round Series: Series tied 2-2
Venue: ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex
Location: Orlando, Florida
Date: Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2020
Time: 6:30 p.m. ET
TV: TNT

Oklahoma City has matched the small-ball style of Houston and that has helped the club capture victories in the last two games. (AP)

Line Movements

Despite losing two straight games to the Thunder, the Rockets still opened as two and a half-point favorites for Game 5, and we are seeing that number climb up to three and a half points at most books with the majority of the early action backing Houston to bounce back.

We have seen the peak ‘over-under’ for this contest climb to 226.5 for Game 2 and stoop down to 223 for its lowest point in Game 3, but the total finally returns to what it opened at in Game 1 following consecutive ‘overs’, which is a healthy line of OU 225.

Good value on the money line coming up in Wednesday’s contest as the Thunder have managed to knock off Houston in consecutive games, but still cash as +126 underdogs despite the ambiguity regarding Russell Westbrook’s availability for the fourth seed.

Spread: Houston -3.5
Money-Line: Houston -165, Oklahoma City +145
Total: 225.5
Updated Series Price: Houston -500, Oklahoma City +350

Game 4 Recap

The Rockets looked like the far better team in the first two contests of this Western Conference first round series, but the last two contests of this seven game set tightened up, and we saw Oklahoma City emerge as victors in both games that contained “clutch” moments in them.

Oklahoma City was only able to muster up an average of 103 points in the first two games of this series, but seem to have figured out how to get through the center-less Houston defense by now, scoring 119 and 117 in its last two contests.

A big part of those scoring outbursts are thanks to Thunder sixth-man Dennis Schroeder, who went for 30 points in Game 5, pacing his team in scoring.

It takes a lot to knock off James Harden in a playoff series, but if OKC continues to muster up offensive performances similar to their previous two games, there is no doubt they have a shot of being the team that advances from this series.

Game 4 Betting Results

It was a great Game 4 for bettors taking the 'over' as the pair combined for 62 points in the first quarter and 120 by halftime. The pace slowed down and the Thunder did just enough to pull away for the victory as a three-point underdog.

Outcome: Thunder 117 Rockets 114

Game: Thunder Win, Thunder Cover (+3), Over 223.5
First Quarter: Rockets Win (37-35), Rockets Cover (-1), Over 58
First-Half: Tied (60-60), Thunder Cover (-1.5), Over 117.5
Second-Half: Thunder Win (57-54), Thunder Cover (+2), Under 115

Thunder Betting Outlook

Inside the Stats

Overall: 46-30 SU, 46-30 ATS, 38-37-1 O/U
Bubble: 6-6 SU, 6-6 ATS, 7-5 O/U

A team that was originally supposed to be in the middle of a rebuild and expected to deal players at the trade deadline now has the series knotted up 2-2 with a potential title-contender, and heads into Game 5 with a boat-load of confidence following consecutive victories in this Western Conference opening round.

Oklahoma City has the best record in the NBA in the clutch this season (31-15), and much of that can be chalked up to Chris Paul being the league leader in “clutch points,” racking up over 120 points in crunch-time during the regular season.

This Thunder team is loaded with guys who thrive on taking big shots, and are going to make a really tough out for the Rockets, especially if they continue to play without Westbrook. We saw emotions flare up between old teammates all over the court in Game 4, I expect Wednesday’s contest to be a doozie as well.

Rockets Betting Outlook

Inside the Stats

Overall: 46-30 SU, 35-40-1 ATS, 32-43-1 O/U
Bubble: 6-6 SU, 6-6 ATS, 5-7 O/U

The Rockets broke their own NBA record of most 3-point field goals attempted in a playoff game, jacking up 58 3-pointers in their 117-114 Game 4 loss on Saturday.

When Westbrook sits out for Houston, the offense tends to become one-dimensional, relying on the three-ball for the majority of its points, and we are seeing a glaring example of that demonstrated by their inconsistency over the first four contests in this series.

Houston came out of the break banging eight straight long balls in the third stanza, but finished the half under 40% behind a 3 for 18 cold-spell, ultimately losing them the contest.

The Rockets are still capable of beating anybody without Westbrook, it just becomes more like rolling dice, as you never know how Houston is going to come out and shoot from deep and can feel like riding a literal roller coaster at times during games.

I think the Rockets are by far the better team in this series and should ultimately win it, but I am personally electing to stay away from siding with Houston until Russ is back on the floor and looks healthy.

Key Injuries

Oklahoma City

SG Deonte Burton: Illness - Game Time Decision

Houston

SF Luc Mbah a Moute: Knee - Game Time Decision
PG Russell Westbrook: Quadriceps - Game Time Decision

The Rockets were hoping to get Westbrook back for Game 4 but opted to play it safe and sit him out as they still owned a 2-1 heading into Monday.

If Russ is physically able to play, I expect him to suit up for Game 5 with the series now knotted up; him being listed as a GTD should be a positive indication of his status moving forward.

MLB public betting, line movement for August 26
Patrick Everson

Ace right-hander Jacob deGrom and the Mets host the Marlins on Wednesday night. The line wasn't posted Tuesday night, but the Mets will surely be a solid favorite behind deGrom.

MLB betting odds are on the board and drawing dollars for a full 15-game docket Wednesday. The New York Mets hand the ball to stingy right-hander Jacob deGrom for a meeting with the Miami Marlins, and the Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Indians wrap up a three-game series.

Caesars sportsbooks provided insights on MLB opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Wednesday’s games.

MLB line movement

With deGrom on the hill, bettors will certainly be on the first five innings Under. However, that wasn’t on the board yet, nor was the standard moneyline for this 7:10 p.m. ET start, as New York and Miami worked late Tuesday to complete a doubleheader.

In five starts, deGrom is 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA, including a shutout six-inning stint a week ago in a 5-3 Mets road win against this same Marlins team. Miami counters with Elieser Hernandez, who’s 1-0 with a 2.29 ERA in four starts.

The Twins and Indians split the first two games, meaning that regardless of the outcome in a 7:10 p.m. ET clash, Minnesota will exit this series right where it started, atop the AL Central. This line also wasn’t posted Tuesday night.

And on the Left Coast, Clayton Kershaw (3-1, 2.25 ERA) and the Los Angeles Dodgers play Game 2 of their three-game road set against the San Francisco Giants. The Dodgers are 11-1 in their last 12 games, and with Kershaw going, Caesars pegged L.A. a -250 favorite for a 9:45 p.m. ET start. San Francisco is +215, and there was no line movement by late Tuesday night.

MLB public betting

The Consensus, often indicative of where the public stands, not surprisingly showed plenty of Dodger Blue support. Through Tuesday night, Los Angeles was landing 78 percent of moneyline picks against the Giants.

NHL public betting, line movement for August 26
Patrick Everson

With a win in Wednesday night's Game 3, the Stars can put the Avalanche on the brink of elimination. Dallas took Games 1 and 2, but Colorado is still a -140 favorite at Caesars for Game 3.

NHL betting odds are up and getting attention for Wednesday’s trio of conference semifinal games. The Colorado Avalanche look to begin digging their way out against the Dallas Stars in a so-far surprising NHL playoffs series, and the Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins get no rest, going on back-to-back days.

Caesars sportsbooks provided insights on NHL opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Wednesday’s contests. Covers will update this action report with NHL sharp picks vs. public bets and line movement throughout the day.

Dallas piled up five goals in each of the first two games against Colorado, with the Stars claiming a 5-2 win Monday to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. However, the Avalanche are again favored, opening -140 at Caesars books, with the Stars +125 for a 10:30 p.m. ET Game 3.

The Lightning bounced back from a Game 1 loss to edge Boston 4-3 in overtime in Tuesday’s Game 2. With these two teams on a short turnaround for an 8 p.m. ET faceoff, the line was not yet posted by late Tuesday night.

In the 3 p.m. ET Wednesday opener, Caesars opened the New York Islanders -110 and the Philadelphia Flyers -105, and there was no movement for Game 2 by late Tuesday night. The Islanders rolled in Game 1, 4-0.

NHL public betting

The Consensus indicates bettors are getting more confident in the Stars, although the Avalanche still have the edge, landing 55 percent of early picks. Likewise, it’s two-way in Islanders-Flyers, with short favorite New York drawing 55 percent of early Consensus picks.

PITTSBURGH PIRATES @ CHICAGO WHITE SOX PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS

CHI White Sox Win -1.5 Run Line
-115

Under 9.0 Game Totals
-110

Run Line Pick
The world watched Lucas Giolito throw a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night, and the same Pirates lineup returns to Guaranteed Rate Field just hours later to face former Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel. In his first year on the South Side of Chicago, Keuchel has won four out of six starts, pitching to a 2.65 ERA, and has allowed just two home runs. The Pirates’ offense ranks near or at the bottom of the National League in nearly every offensive category, and they looked confused from start to finish on Tuesday, striking out 13 times and reaching base just once on a walk. Chicago, now six games above .500, has serious playoff aspirations and will turn to Keuchel, a veteran of four playoff campaigns and a World Series Champion in 2017. Keuchel knows how to bring his A-game in a playoff race, and should do just that on Wednesday. Look for the White Sox to win by multiple runs as they did in the first game of the series, and take them on the run line.


Over Under Pick
Looking at the Pittsburgh lineup and what they did on Tuesday, let’s just say it would take a lot of guts to go with the over the next day. True, Chicago alone is capable of scoring eight to ten runs on any given day, but facing Trevor Williams, the closest thing the Pirates have to an ace, dampens their chances. Williams’ 1-4 record is more indicative of the lineup behind him than the way he’s pitched; his 3.70 ERA is almost eighty points better than league average. Without a doubt, take the under.

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES @ WASHINGTON NATIONALS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS

PHI Phillies Win Money Line
-115

Under 8.5 Game Totals
-105

Money Line Pick
Three games under .500, the Philadelphia Phillies have as good a chance as any team in the crowded National League East to finish in second and reach the playoffs. They turn to Aaron Nola, their most consistent starter over the past four seasons, looking to take a two-game advantage in their series against the Nationals. Nola is coming off his worst start of the season, giving up four runs in Atlanta while failing to complete the third inning. But he’s the type of pitcher who can bounce back after a rough go, and he’ll face a Nationals lineup he’s figured out better than most around the league. Adam Eaton, Trea Turner, and Juan Soto all have at least 20 career at-bats against Nola, and they’re all hitting under .200. Patrick Corbin has pitched well for Washington, but lost his last start after getting just two runs of support, and with his team facing Nola looking to bounce back, he shouldn’t expect much more. This is a tossup and should be a fun game, but the Phillies have the edge.


Over Under Pick
Just as Nola has controlled the best bats in the Washington lineup, Corbin has enjoyed some of the same success against Philadelphia’s biggest threats. Andrew McCutchen, J.T. Realmuto and Jean Segura all have batting averages below .200 against Corbin, and Bryce Harper has failed to drive in a run in 14 career at-bats, the first of which came as a National. Both pitchers are proven Major Leaguers who are looking for a solid outing after a disappointing start last time out, so expect an entertaining pitchers’ duel and take the under.

MIAMI MARLINS @ NEW YORK METS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS

NY Mets Win Money Line

Under Game Totals

Money Line Pick
We’re all familiar with Jacob deGrom’s dominance since entering the majors, and the Marlins are among the teams that have been fooled by the Cy Young winner. deGrom is 10-7 with a 3.14 ERA in 24 career starts against the Marlins, and that includes two starts from this season where the Mets’ ace has allowed only two earned runs in 11 innings pitched. The Marlins are surprisingly proficient at getting on base, but they have absolutely no ability to knock runs in. It should be another easy day for deGrom.

The same could probably be said of Marlins starter Elieser Hernandez, who’s allowed only two earned runs in 12 career innings against the Mets. The 25-year-old has also been among the best pitchers in the National League to start the year, so there’s optimism that he could keep it going on Wednesday. Unfortunately, the Mets’ lineup may be too much to overcome, especially when you consider that the offense has averaged eight runs per game over their last five (as of Tuesday afternoon). We think the Mets will put enough runs on the board to earn the victory … we’re taking New York money line.


Over Under Pick
You know who probably hates facing deGrom? Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas, who’s gone an ugly 7-for-32 against the starter throughout his career. That’s an ongoing trend for the Marlins, as their opponent has limited them to a .246 batting average in 126 at bats. The Marlins’ offense is pretty trick-or-treat, but there’s no getting around the fact that they’re averaging an underwhelming 4.5 runs per game. We’re expecting another quiet offensive outing on Wednesday.

The Mets can mash, and they’ve capitalized on their .356 on-base percentage through the first half(ish) of the season. While Hernandez only started to find success in 2020, he’s consistently limited walks throughout his career. That’s culminated in a 2020 campaign where he’s allowing only 1.4 walks per nine innings. The Mets should be able to score, but we’re not expecting some type of offensive explosion. We’re taking the under.

CHICAGO CUBS @ DETROIT TIGERS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS

DET Tigers Win +1.5 Run Line
-120

Over 9.5 Game Totals
-120

Run Line Pick
Jon Lester has been around the block, and he’s seen most variations of the Tigers’ lineup in recent years (most of them bad). Somehow, the veteran lefty has struggled against the organization though; in 12 career starts, Lester has gone 3-6 with a whopping 5.67 ERA against Detroit. Those numbers have naturally made their way to Comerica Park, where Lester is 2-2 with a 5.56 ERA. The Tigers’ offense is the best it’s been in years (you could make a weak argument that they’re better than the Cubs), so it wouldn’t be shocking if Lester’s struggles continue on Wednesday.

Tigers starter Michael Fulmer has seen his fair share of ups and downs throughout his career, but he’s been especially bad in 2020. The 27-year-old has started four games and compiled an ugly 9.53 ERA. However, he has had some success against the Cubs throughout his career (4.50 ERA), and he’s consistently been better when pitching at home. The Cubs are the superior team, but we still find ourselves leaning towards the underdog. We’re taking Tigers run line. There’s value.


Over Under Pick
Lester’s struggles against the Tigers weren’t solely because of former players. For instance, Miguel Cabrera has teed off on the starter, going 14-for-26 with five extra base hits. Plenty of other Tigers players have had success, too; Jeimer Candelario, Cameron Maybin, Jonathan Schoop, and Nike Goodrum are a combined 5-for-17 against the lefty. The Tigers’ offense wouldn’t be confused with the 1927 Yankees, but they should be able to put runs on the board on Wednesday.

One Cubs player has had an extended look at Fulmer, and he’s mashed. Second baseman Jason Kipnis is familiar with his opponent thanks to his time in Cleveland, and he’s gone 5-for-15 against the starter. A handful of Cubs players have also had success, with Kyle Schwarber, Anthony Rizzo, and Jason Hayward going a combined 3-for-9. Considering Fulmer’s lack of success in 2020, it’d be shortsighted for us to expect a sudden change. We’re taking the over.

MINNESOTA TWINS @ CLEVELAND INDIANS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS

CLE Indians Win Money Line
+120

Over 8.5 Game Totals
-110

Money Line Pick
The Cleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins will conclude a three-game series when they meet one more time in Cleveland on Wednesday night. Indians right-hander Mike Clevinger will be making his first start in exactly three weeks, as he had been demoted due to breaking his team’s coronavirus protocols. Clevinger is 1-1 with a 3.24 ERA so far this season. He will happy to return in a home game after being utterly dominant at Progressive Field last year (1.78 ERA, compared to a solid but less spectacular 3.58 ERA away from home). The Twins are countering with right-hander Jose Berrios, who is a mediocre 2-3 with a 4.75 ERA. Berrios has been a disaster on the road, recording an 8.68 ERA in two such appearances. In other words, the pitching matchup clearly favors Cleveland. Clevinger has obviously been out long enough to be well-rested but perhaps not so long that he will be too rusty, and the Indians have said he will not be on any kind of innings or pitch-count restrictions. Look for the home team to make it two in a row after it prevailed 4-2 in Tuesday’s contest.


Over Under Pick
Berrios’ road woes are well-documented, while Clevinger has not pitched since Aug. 5. Both pitchers could be decent on Wednesday, but it is hard to see either one dominating. In four of Minnesota’s past seven contests, the winning team has scored at least seven runs. Nelson Cruz is batting .327 with 11 home runs and 27 RBIs. The over is 4-1 in the Twins’ last five on the road against opponents with winning records. It is also 4-1 in the Indians’ last five after allowing two runs or fewer in their previous outing. Look for this one to go over the total.

OAKLAND ATHLETICS @ TEXAS RANGERS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS

OAK Athletics Win Money Line
-150

Over 9.5 Game Totals
-115

Money Line Pick
It will not be a pretty match-up to conclude this three-game series as Mike Fiers will start for the Oakland Athletics and Kolby Allard will take the mound for the Rangers. Allard has looked rough this season, going 0-2 with an ERA of 7.82. He has allowed 11 earned runs through just 12.2 innings pitched. He especially was bad in his last start, allowing four runs over 0.2 of an inning.

Fiers does not have good numbers either to be frank, however his team is 5-1 in his starts. Fiers is 3-1 though with an ERA of 5.81. His last start was decent at best, allowing three runs over 5.1 innings.

I do not trust either of these pitchers, however I am going to lean towards Oakland because Allard has been far worse and this A’s offense is far better than the Rangers’.


Over Under Pick
I think there is a good chance we see a ton of runs in this game just given how bad the starters have been. Especially Allard, who I am not fully confident can make it out of even the first inning. Fiers has one start against Texas this season, where he allowed four runs over 6.0 innings. Even a performance like that would be perfect as Allard is sure to struggle.

There is also the Texas bullpen, which has given up their fair share of leads and runs in general. I know for a fact I would not play an under with Allard on the mound, so the over is my play.

CINCINNATI REDS @ MILWAUKEE BREWERS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS

CIN Reds Win Money Line
-130

Over 8.5 Game Totals
-110

Money Line Pick
The third game of a four-game set will see Sonny Gray take the mound for the Reds and Adrian Houser for the Milwaukee Brewers. Gray has been fantastic this season to say the least, posting a record of 4-1 with an ERA of 2.21. He allowed two runs in his most recent start against the Cardinals over 6.0 innings of work, however he was disappointed with his effort. That is a clear sign Gray is looking to dominate his opponent every time he takes the mound. His one loss this season came against this same Milwaukee team, where he allowed four runs over 5.1 innings, so he will certainly be looking to bounce back in that regard.

Houser has looked decent this season, though he is only 1-2 in terms of his record. He still has a solid ERA of 3.72. His last start was average at best as he managed to last 7.0 innings but allowed four runs. This was against lowly Pittsburgh though, which makes it especially concerning.

Almost every time Gray is on the mound, I look to back him depending on the price. The same goes here as I do believe Gray can have a better outing in Milwaukee and shut their bats down.


Over Under Pick
While most people would correlate Gray and the under, he has actually seen the over cash in four of his six starts. Usually either his bullpen gives up a ton of runs in the final few innings or his offense provides him with a ton of run support. We already know that he struggled in Milwaukee last time he pitched there and even though I think he will still be fine, I wouldn’t put it past the Brewers to score two or three on him.

As we also know, Houser is prone to allowing runs as well. If he can allow four to a poor Pirates offense then he is likely to allow a similar amount to the Brewers. I am still only recommending this play as a lean because Gray is that good, but with a total likely to be lower I will take the over.

SEATTLE MARINERS @ SAN DIEGO PADRES PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS

SD Padres Win -1.5 Run Line
-110

Over 8.5 Game Totals
+100

Run Line Pick
Seattle is hoping they can slow down the Padres and they will be looking to Taijuan Walker to do so. In his last start he gave up a few homers to L.A. but once he settled down he was really good. Seattle needs all the pitching they can get because their lineup is very light. Dylan Moore had been one of the few reliable hitters but he is out until September. He and fellow rookie Kyle Lewis have been the only consistent hitters for Seattle this season. The Mariners are hoping to score enough and most nights they just don’t. San Diego is hot right now and the fun thing is it’s not just Fernando Tatis Jr anymore. Trent Grisham hit three homers in a game last week and he already has more homers than he did all of last season, in 50 games. Dinelson Lamet is another player who has been better in 2020 than in 2019. His fastball has even more pop than it did a year ago and he is harnessing it better than he has so far in the Majors. San Diego is just the right play.


Take San Diego.


Over Under Pick
Walker gave up three homers to the Dodgers in his last game and San Diego is third in home runs this season. I think that could be a dangerous combination for this one. Yes I do think Lamet can dominate a Seattle lineup that is lacking menacing hitters but San Diego is on such a roll right now that I think we can still go with the over here. San Diego just might cover it on their own.


Take the over.

COLORADO ROCKIES @ ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS

COL Rockies Win Money Line
-115

Over 9.5 Game Totals
+110

Money Line Pick
At their best Colorado looks lethal, combining high ceiling pitching with a well-established lineup. Their biggest challenge has been maintaining that combination long term. When they were in first place they had a team ERA in the top ten but now they are sitting at 17. They are still among the leaders in quality starts so maybe there is some hope they can regain their early form. We are still waiting for Nolan Arenado to resume his place among the league’s elite hitters, he has been so consistent throughout his career so it is just a matter of time. Jon Gray can be wildly inconsistent but he has a winning record at Chase Field with solid peripherals. Robbie Ray might be even more frustrating than Gray because at times he is basically un-hittable, but he gets himself into trouble with walks. He has 25 in just 27 innings and that forces him to zero in on the center of the plate, which is why he is giving up more than a homer per start. Against a regular lineup that might be something that could be overcome but I do not like his chances here. Awesome value with the visitors.


Take Colorado.


Over Under Pick
Jon Gray has the lower ERA of these two starters and he is currently at 6.33. Robbie Ray is over eight so the hitters should be licking their lips on both sides. The potential is there for both of these pitchers to be shut down, but for both to be dominant on the same day is not something I want to bet on. Chase Field can be a launching pad too. Everything is setting up for an easy over, I think at least one team gets to double digits.


Take the over.

LOS ANGELES DODGERS @ SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS

LA Dodgers Win -1.5 Run Line
-145

Under 8.5 Game Totals
-115

Run Line Pick
The Dodgers are the best team in baseball and one of the game’s signature franchises so getting any value with them is going to be tough. In case you need to be convinced of their dominance they are first in scoring and first in ERA, and first in homers for good measure. Clayton Kershaw has been below his lofty standards the last couple of seasons but this year after a delayed start he has been awesome. Key has been his health and he has added some velocity of late too. The Giants are countering with Kevin Gausman, who has pitched well enough that his name is being mentioned in trade rumors. I know that might not be the highest of praise but he is the best pitcher the Giants have right now. The Giants’ offense has been much better than expected but when you look up and down that lineup you have to wonder why. They are 10th in scoring right now but I think they regress to the 20’s before too long.


Take LA on the run line.


Over Under Pick
The way the Dodgers hit and slug, overs are always going to be a distinct possibility. The challenge is that they are very public so getting the best value can be tough. In this one, with Kershaw and Gausman on the hill, I think we are likely to see a few more swings and misses than normal. Taking the under, with a road team that is also a run line favorite is not going to be a winner most of the time but let’s just get that 4-2 final, cash our tickets, and move on.


Take the under.

NASHVILLE SC @ ORLANDO CITY FC PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (SOCCER)

The proverbial honeymoon appears to be over for Orlando City. The Lions made a Cinderella run to the final of the MLS is Back Tournament before falling to the Portland Timbers. However, they were unable to build on that momentum when they paid a visit to expansion franchise Inter Miami this past Friday and suffered a bad 3-2 loss. Another expansion club awaits on Wednesday, when Nashville SC visits Orlando. By the standards of a new team, Nashville has not been terrible. In five matches it has lost by multiple goals only once (2-0 to 2018 MLS Cup champion Atlanta United) and recently took a total of four points in two contests against FC Dallas–the other club that missed the MLS is Back Tournament due to coronavirus issues. Following a bad defensive performance against Miami and with a lot of matches on the upcoming schedule, Orlando manager Oscar Pareja is rotating pieces more than usual and giving his lineup new looks. That could lead to more vulnerability in the short term. Go with Nashville on a draw no bet, as at worst you should get a push and the benefit of +200 value on a win is enticing.

ATLANTA UNITED @ INTER MIAMI CF PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (SOCCER)

Atlanta United Win
+185

It is true that Atlanta United is not quite the same club on the road than it is at home, but the fact that it is an underdog (+185) against Inter Miami (+135) is a bit absurd regardless of the location. Miami is an expansion franchise and has been playing like one, with five losses in six matches. The Herons actually managed to pick up their first-ever win last Friday over Orlando City, but the Lions were quite clearly suffering from a proverbial hangover on the heels of their runner-up finish at the MLS is Back Tournament. Atlanta has no such hangover, having exited the tournament following three losses in the group stage. On the bright side, the Five Stripes got more rest than expected and they came back playing inspired soccer last weekend. At home, they got the best of Nashville SC–another expansion franchise–by a 2-0 scoreline. Pity Martinez scored both of his team’s goals, and that is exactly what this club needs in the absence of Jozef Martinez (out for the year with a torn ACL). The win came in interim manager Stephen Glass’ first match, having taken over for the fired Frank de Boer. Atlanta seems to playing with more interest now and has great value in this one as an underdog.

COLORADO RAPIDS @ FC DALLAS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (SOCCER)

Colorado Win or Draw
+100

Both FC Dallas and the Colorado Rapids have been terrible heading into Wednesday’s meeting in Dallas. Because it has home-field advantage, Dallas is a considerable favorite–all the more reason to avoid the Toros and jump all over Colorado. Even at home, they have not been great this season. After beating Philadelphia, the Toros drew with Montreal and then took just one point in a pair of matches against Nashville SC (the other club that missed the MLS is Back Tournament due to coronavirus issues). In its last three outings–including this past Friday’s 0-0 draw with Houston–Dallas has not found the back of the net a single time. That gives the Rapids a very good chance of coming away with at least one point via something like a 0-0 or 1-1 deadlock. They have been awful of late, as well, but at least managed to earn a 2-2 draw with Minnesota in one of their three tournament contests in Orlando. Colorado may be able to exploit a Dallas squad that has been tinkering with its formations. Manager Luchi Gonzalez opted for a variation of a 3-5-2 formation against Houston, which out-shot the Toros by an alarming 17-7 margin and kept 56.9 percent of the possession. Take the Rapids to either win or draw.

LOS ANGELES FC @ REAL SALT LAKE PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (SOCCER)

Over 3.5 Game Totals
+108

Until recently, it appeared that Real Salt Lake was one of the most defensive-minded teams in all of MLS. They had only scored and allowed three goals each through their first five games of the season. Their last two games, however, tell an entirely different story. Salt Lake was eliminated from the MLS is Back Tournament in a 5-2 thrashing by San Jose, but rebounded on Saturday to take their first post-tourney contest, scoring four second-half goals to beat Colorado 4-1. Los Angeles games are the highest-scoring affairs in the league: they’re tied for the league lead with 15 goals scored in their six games, and they’ve also allowed 12, which is the third-most of any team. The two teams are tied for fifth in the standings with nine points each, and both will be looking to get the upper hand as only the top five clubs qualify for the 2021 Leagues Cup. With one team known to be a high scorer and the other showing notable goal-scoring ability in their recent games, your best bet is to take the over.

PORTLAND TIMBERS @ SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (SOCCER)

Portland Win Or Draw Double Chance
-132

After winning the MLS is Back Tournament, expectations were (and remain) high for the Portland Timbers, but their return to Oregon did not go as planned, folding quickly at the end of the game and losing 3-0 to Seattle. Still fourth in the table, two points above San Jose, they feel as though they can’t afford to lose a second consecutive game, which could potentially take them out of a playoff spot, depending on other results. San Jose is a high-scoring team, averaging two goals per game thus far in 2020, but they haven’t played in almost a month following their quarterfinal loss to Minnesota United in the tournament. These two teams split their meetings last year, and it was Portland who finished five points ahead of San Jose to reach the playoffs. San Jose is favored on Wednesday night, but they haven’t shown enough to be able to beat a team that just won a knockout tournament over the entire league. Double your chances and take a draw or a Portland win.

WED, AUG 26TH - 11:00PM ET:
SEATTLE SOUNDERS @ L.A. GALAXY PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (SOCCER)

Seattle Sounders Win Money Line
+180

The LA Galaxy’s signing of former Manchester United star Chicharito made headlines, but the big-money contract hasn’t worked out for them so far. The Mexican international only scored once before picking up a calf injury at the MLS is Back Tournament, and he’s not expected to be ready for Wednesday’s clash with Seattle. They still have enough depth to compete with the best teams in the league, and they’re coming off an important win in the El Trafico derby against crosstown rivals LAFC. Defending champions Seattle look just as strong as they did last year, and they’ve only allowed four goals in six regular-season games, including a 3-0 embarrassment of MLS is Back champions Portland on Sunday. The Sounders won their most recent meeting a year ago, scoring an 89th minute winner to defeat Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s Galaxy. With no Ibrahimovic or Chicharito to look to, the Galaxy will have an even harder time coming away with a win on Wednesday, so go with the defending champs.

#4 GIFT OF OAK (ML=7/2)
#7 TAPSHOT (ML=6/1)


BLISTERING PAKSHI - Barbaran rode this horse for the first time last time around the track and comes right back this time. The improved Equibase speed figs over the last three races is solid. McDonald drops him in this contest fit and ready to go. I like the case that this gelding's last fig, 54, is tops in this field. This horse is not the M/L favorite, yet he finished ahead of today's chalk in their last race together. GIFT OF OAK - He finished runner up August 10th, but was well in front of the 3rd horse. Bookman brings him right back. I advocate you stick with this hot gelding. Trainer, Bookman, has been deliberate with this gelding off the layoff. Look for a solid effort today. TAPSHOT - Forgive the off the board finish on the off track last time around the track. On a fast track, has a chance today.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 IT'S A MANS WORLD (ML=5/2), #5 SUSIE'S KID (ML=9/2), #6 QUALITY MAN (ML=8/1),

IT'S A MANS WORLD - This gelding is always hitting the board, but just doesn't win. Hard to invest in him on the win end. Can't really invest in this kind of oft beaten favorite. SUSIE'S KID - Doubtful that this equine will finish better than he did last time when finishing third. When scrutinizing today's class rating, he will have to register a much better speed fig than in the last race to battle in this dirt sprint. QUALITY MAN - Not probable that this horse will finish better than he did last time when placing ninth.

CARTER CAT has a solid shot to take this race. Has to be given consideration against this group displaying very good numbers lately and an average speed rating of 77 under similar conditions.

#5 FIERY CAUSE (ML=6/1)
#3 SADIE SUE (ML=5/2)


FIERY CAUSE - Sophisticated handicappers will tell you that this thoroughbred has strong early speed. This filly is back in a race very quick. This is a great angle - Sprinters that come back in less than 10 days after a race. A good sign of a sharp and ready racehorse. SADIE SUE - This thoroughbred coming off a nice performance in the last 30 days is a solid contender in my humble opinion. Look at this filly's PP lines. With each race she keeps getting closer. This filly is clearly on the improve with speed figures of 63, 66, 68 last 3 out.

Vulnerable Contenders: #8 CATE'S GOLD (ML=2/1), #2 SHE'S AN EAGLE (ML=9/2), #7 BELL OF RAINIER (ML=6/1),

CATE'S GOLD - Hasn't raced or had any drills since July 23rd. Not much value on this morning-line favorite. SHE'S AN EAGLE - If you keep playing these kind of 'bridesmaid' types, you're going to be let down most every time. BELL OF RAINIER - Will be hard for this horse to beat this field off of that last speed figure. Not probable to improve enough to run a figure close to today's class rating, so put her on the likely underpriced equines list.

https://www.trackmaster.com/images/tophat.jpgGUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - SADIE SUE - With the highest last speed rating of 68, this filly looks exceptional against these ponies.

Jeff Siegel's Saratoga Analysis/Wagering Strategies - 8/26/20 August 26, 2020

Jeff Siegel’s Daily Analysis & Wagering Strategies
Saratoga
Wednesday, August 26, 2020
*

Specifically designed for the rolling exotic player, Jeff Siegel’s “Daily Analysis and Wagering Strategies” isolates those horses that should be included in daily doubles, pick-3s, pick-4s, pick-5s, and the pick-6.
*
It is recommended that Jeff’s selections be used to augment the reader’s own personal handicapping, though excellent results can be achieved by applying the rolling exotic strategy specified by Jeff’s analysis. Jeff’s recommended plays are intended for players with a moderate budget; however, readers are encouraged to adjust Jeff’s wagering strategy to fit their preferred investment level.
*
*
Grade A=Highest degree of confidence.
Grade B=Solid Play.
Grade C=Least preferred, or pass.
Grade X=probable winner but odds are not likely to offer wagering value.
*
The selections are available every racing day after morning scratches.
*

RACE 1: Post 12:50 ET. Grade:
Use: Pass/No Play

Forecast: The first race is for hurdlers. We will pass the race.
*
*
RACE 2: Post 1:21 ET. Grade: X
Use: 1-Munnings Muse; 5-Snicket

Forecast: Munnings Muse showed promise in her debut 14 months ago at Belmont Park when finishing second beaten six lengths while nine lengths clear of the rest in a very fast maiden special weight five furlong sprint. This will be her first start since and if she returns as well as she left the G. Gullo-trained will be very difficult to beat in this six runner affair. She returns as a first-time Lasix user with I. Ortiz, Jr. taking the call and shows a work tab that while not fancy should have her fit enough. However, at 6/5 on the morning line she really won’t be offering much value. Snicket, in the money in her last three with steadily rising (but not quite par for the level) speed figures, doesn’t have a whole lot of gate speed and will be doing her best work from the quarter pole home. We doubt she can beat ‘Muse if that one shows up with her best stuff but the daughter of Lemon Drop Kid seems clearly the best of the rest and therefore is worth including on a ticket or two as a back-up.
*
*
RACE 3: Post 1:54 ET. Grade: C
Use: Pass/No Play

Forecast: There are five entrants in this 11-furlong inner turf event for entry-level allowance fillies and mares, with the morning line prices ranging from the favorite at 2-1, Cap de Creus, to the longest priced runner in the field, Setting the Mood, at 4-1. Each starter has a legitimate claim, and in race that almost certainly will be a contested at a false pace (with Whatdoesasharksay the certain front-runner), anything can happen and nothing would surprise us. With regards to the rolling exotics, we’ll recommend a “buy the race” strategy and let the cards fall where they may.
*
*
RACE 4: Post 2:29 ET. Grade: C+
Use: 2-Dash to the Top; 4-Katies Courage; 7-Dressy

Forecast: Dressy was well-backed (5/2) in her debut vs. straight maiden foes but never landed a blow while wide and well-beaten, so this drop into the much softer maiden $50,000 level is warranted. She had trained like she could run a bit prior to that mid-July outing and with three works since she’s on a healthy pattern. If she can run at all, this is the right spot to show it, so let’s give the daughter of Air Force Blue another chance in a lackluster affair at or near her morning line of 6-1. Dash to the Top, a fair third in her debut at this level last month while wide into the lane before losing her punch late, certainly has a right to benefit from that outing and may produce a forward move for a barn that’s about average with this maneuver. She may be the one to beat by default. Katies Courage is a first-timer with a decent gate work on her resume earlier this month and on that alone she’s has to be considered something of a contender. The barn’s okay with first-timers so at 6-1 on the morning she’s worth including somewhere on your ticket.
*
*
RACE 5: Post 3:02 ET. Grade: X
Use: 3-Checksandbalances; 9-Kitten’s Romance

Forecast: Here’s another maiden claimer, this one for $40,000 fillies and mares going long on the lawn. Checksandbalances has been a beaten favorite in her first two starts but seems to be improving and with another forward move today should be capable of earning her diploma. The C. Brown-trained Irish-bred filly retains I. Ortiz, Jr., so in a soft spot she’ll most likely leave as the chalk once again. Kitten’s Romance must overcome the outside draw but was second (beaten a nose) in the same race Checksandbalances (who missed by a neck) just finished third in, so they’re very hard to separate. Both are from top-quality outfits, both have left town since that race (Checksandbalances to Monmouth Park and back; Kitten’s Romance to Keeneland back), and both should be included in rolling exotic play.
*
*
RACE 6: Post 3:37 ET. Grade: X
Single: 3-Assume

Forecast: Assume is listed at 6/5 on the morning line in this restricted (nw-2) $25,000 claiming sprint for fillies and mares. Up a notch following a M. Maker claim (a little above average stats with this angle), the lightly-raced 3-year-old crushed a maiden $20,000 field with a career-top speed figure in what just her fourth career start over this track and distance last month, and if she can duplicate that type of effort today she’ll pay quick dividends for her new connections. While we expect her to win, the daughter of Candy Ride probably won’t offer any wagering value at her expected price, so you can use her as a no-value rolling exotic single or simply pass the race.
*
*
RACE 7: Post 4:12 ET. Grade: B
Use: 1-Buy Land and See; 8-Maven; 10-Turned Aside

Forecast: This is a salty overnight stakes for 3-year-old sprinting on grass. Maven in the certain favorite and one to beat. The son of American Pharoah, a Group-3 stakes winner in France last year, returned off a nearly one year layoff and was dominant in a strong allowance race at Keeneland while winning gate-to-wire with a powerful speed figure. Similar pace pressing tactics certainly will be employed today; this time, however, he’ll have to deal with strong pressure from the colt drawn outside him, the stakes-winning Jack and Noah. Actually, at a much better price, we’re most intrigued by the Parx shipper Buy Land and See, a winner of his last three including the Awad S. last fall at Belmont Park. This trip might be a tad sharp for the son of Cairo Prince but he could be dangerous with a hot pace up front and a trouble-free journey from the rail. We’ll double the race using the two listed above and then press in the win pool with Buy Land and See.
*
*
RACE 8: Post 4:46 ET. Grade: B+
Single: 4-Blowout

Forecast: Blowout has run in nothing but stakes races since breaking her maiden in her debut, and after a tough 3-year-old campaign that produced a victory in the Pebbles S. last September and a strong runner-up performance in the Valley View S.-G3 at Keeneland in October, she was sent home for a nice vacation. The English-bred filly returns in a three-other-than allowance race when facing a field that she should out-class, and with a work tab that should have her plenty fit for a barn that has superior stats (29%) with layoff runners the C. Brown-trained daughter of Dansili is the logical top pick and one to beat. At 9/5 on the morning line we’ll make her a win play and rolling exotic single.
*
*
RACE 9: Post 5:20 ET. Grade: B
Use: 3-Admaa; 7-Dial Me Up; 8-Let Them Eat Cake

Forecast: The nightcap is a better than average maiden special weight turf sprint for fillies and mares. There are several possibilities; we’ll try to get by using just three. Admaa is an interesting Monmouth Park shipper making her first start for C. Brown after displaying ability in a series of drills, including a bullet half-mile breeze in :48 flat (fastest of 72) earlier this month. She easily could have stayed put and make her first start in a maiden affair in New Jersey but shows up at Sartoga in what we’ll view as a sign of confidence. Certainly bred to win early (The Factor) she offers good gambling value at 4-1 on the morning line. Dial Me Up, runner-up in her first two career outings (both on dirt), projects as a dangerous pace presser/forcer, and if she can produce another forward move and transfer her main track form to grass the C. Clement-trained filly will be a major player at 6-1 on the morning line. Let Them Eat Cake, most effective when held up early and allowed to run late, will receive the patient ride she requires from J. Rosario and with some help up front could make some serious noise in the final furlong.

1* Free Sharp Play on Pirates +205
The Pirates (+205) are worth a look in Wednesday's early MLB action. Pittsburgh will be visiting the White Sox, who I feel are a bit overpriced in this spot. Last night Chicago's Lucas Giolito threw a no-hitter. Tough for the White Sox to not suffer some kind of letdown off that high, especially with such an early start time.
Pirates on the other hand are going to be eager to get this one started so they can put that no-hitter behind them. As bad as Pittsburgh's offense was last night, they had scored 24 runs on 37 hits in their previous 3 games. Last time they were shut out they won 3 straight as a dog. Play the Pirates +205!

Play on: UNDER 9 -115

Wednesday MLB Free play. My selection is on the 'under' between Philadelphia and Washington at 6:05 pm et on Wednesday.
We missed the mark with the 'under' in Aaron Nola's last start but I won't hesitate to go back to the well with the same play here. Nola did not pitch well against the Braves last time out, failing to make it out of the third inning. That, however, doesn't change the fact that he has pitched well so far this season, with his strikeouts per nine innings way up and his walks way down compared to a year ago. He's also allowing fewer hits per nine innings. Home runs allowed have been a bit of an issue but he's never been a pitcher that gives up a ton of long balls so I expect him to get it sorted in due time. Patrick Corbin has finished top-11 or better in N.L. Cy Young voting in each of the last two seasons and while his overall numbers aren't great so far this year in Washington, it is worth noting that his walks per nine innings are way down while his strikeouts are almost on par. I do expect to see him settle in as the season progresses and perform well in this matchup. Take the under (8*).

The Key: We are getting the Chicago Cubs at a great price today as short favorites over the Detroit Tigers. Look for the Cubs to bounce back and take this series from the Tigers after losing yesterday. Michael Fulmer is 0-0 with a 9.52 ERA and 2.03 WHIP in 4 starts for the Tigers this year while averaging just 2.8 innings per start. He had already yielded 6 homers and 12 earned runs in only 11 1/3 innings. Jon Lester is 12-0 after giving up 5 or more runs in 2 straight outings lifetime. He’ll get right against Detroit today. Take Chicago.

Play on: Mariners +210 at YouWager

Jack’s Free Pick Wednesday: Seattle Mariners +210
The Seattle Mariners have quietly gone 5-1 in their last six games overall while averaging 6.0 runs per game. They have gotten their offense going, and they have held eight of their last 10 opponents to 4 runs or less.
I’ll take a shot with the hot Mariners and Taijuan Walker as more than +200 dogs today. Walker is 2-2 with a 4.00 ERA and 1.074 WHIP in five starts this season. He is also 3-1 with a 1.33 ERA and 0.593 WHIP in five career starts against San Diego.
I believe Dinelson Lamet is being overvalued here after posting some great numbers in the early going in 2020. He is 2-1 with a 1.89 ERA and 0.840 WHIP in six starts. But three of those starts have come against the light-hitting Diamondbacks, plus the Giants, Rangers and Dodgers.
San Diego is 3-14 in its last 17 home games off a loss by four runs or more. The Padres are 9-23 in their last 32 games vs. a starter with less than a 1.15 WHIP. Bet the Mariners Wednesday.

The D Backs are a hard team to figure out that's for sure. They are hot then they are cold. Well they have dropped the first two games of this series but I think tonight is the spot to back them here. Neither Gray nor Ray are having a stellar year by any means, but Gray has really struggled against the D Backs in his career with a 6.22 ERA. D Backs get the job done tonight.

PICK - Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-135)
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 929
I see no reason not to back the Dodgers on the -1.5 run line tonight. LA is 11-4 on the road this season with 9 of those 11 wins coming by at least 2 runs. With the way this team can score, winning by at least 2 runs is really not asking a lot.
Not only are they great offensively, they got one of the best pitching staffs in baseball. Today they will throw out ace Clayton Kershaw, who has absolutely owned the Giants. In 48 career starts against SF, Kershaw owns a ridiculous 1.80 ERA and 0.876 WHIP. He's 3-1 with a 2.25 ERA in 4 starts so far in 2020 with a 0.92 ERA and 0.559 WHIP in road starts.
Kevin Gausman will start for the Giants. He's been striking out a lot of guys, but still has a 5.00 ERA over 5 starts. He was great against LA a few starts back, holding them to 1 run on 3 hits in 6 1/3. Some might see that as a positive. Not me. I think LA's offense will be ready for him this time around. Give me the Dodgers -1.5 (-135)!

After winning the first 2 games in this best-of-seven series, Houston has gone out and dropped the next pair of games to Oklahoma City as tonight the teams will play the ever-important 5th game of what has not become a best-of-three series.


One thing I have noticed is that after a little bit of a sluggish start in this series with total points, the scoring pace has started to pick up over the past couple of games. That being the case, go ahead and back the Over here in Wednesday's Game Five.


Each of the last pair of games have ended up landing Over the total to make it 3-1 Over in the 4 games in the books so far. Billy Donovan's team has now gone 6-2 Over the total in their last 8 games played.


Both teams shot the ball extremely well on Monday, the Thunder checking in at 49% with Dennis Schroder pumping in 30 points off the bench. The Rockets ended the night at a very respectable 45% with the Beard, James Harden netting 32 points in the loss.


Going to look for the series Over trend to continue on Wednesday.


Rockets-Thunder Over the total.

Mitchell Newman

Time for the Portland Trail Blazers to wave bye-bye to the bubble!

After spring the Game One upset win over the top-seeded Lakers, Portland has been unable to dent Los Angeles in any of the 3 games that have followed and Monday's setback saw star Damian Lilliard leave the game in the third quarter with a knee injury with just 11 points scored.

The Lakers did lose Anthony Davis in Game 4 with back spasms (he scored 18 points in his 18 minutes), but the game was well in hand, as Los Angeles led at one point by 38 points in cruising to their third straight win and cover.

Liliard is listed as out with a sprained knee and the line on this game has shot from 7 points to right about 13 1/2 points, but that won't stop me from laying the lumber with Los Angeles.

LeBron James had 30 points and 10 assists before heading to the bench to get some rest in this blowout. King James has done what he always seems to do and that is simply take over as he has done time and time again.

The Lakers have now won 7 of the past 10 series meetings against the Blazers and they are 8-2 against the spread in those 10 meetings.

Portland acquitted themselves well in their Florida stay, but it is clear they are now running on fumes. Tonight the tank hits empty.

Lay it with the Lakers.

The Milwaukee Brewers are my free play tonight, as they're getting a plus price against the Cincinnati Reds, who have lost four in a row.

The Brewers have won two straight and are creeping up on the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Central. At 13-15, remember they're nearing the midway point of the 60-game season. They need to improve their game at home, where they're just 4-6 on the year.

The Refs have lost 10 of 16 on the road, and even worse, are 3-8 against teams with a sub-.500 record this season.

I'll take the price here and ignore the pitching matchup, as the Brewers are in the right spot on their own field.

Rolling into this one on a 16-6 run with complimentary MLB plays.

Is it ludicrous to think the San Francisco Giants can do something they've rarely done since Clayton Kershaw entered the league, beat him and the Los Angeles Dodgers? Probably, but considering how the Giants won last night and that Frisco is riding a seven-game win streak, I'm taking the major plus price in this game.

San Francisco has climbed out of the cellar in the National League West, and has a bit of momentum flowing its way.

The Giants' offense has come to life and is now ranked eighth in the league with a .257 batting average. At home, the Giants have the third-best batting average, at .281. On the flipside, the Dodgers are hitting just .232 on the road, 18th overall in the league.

I know the Giants are sending Kevin Gausman to the hill, and he's a journeyman whose best days are likely behind him, but the sun shines on a dog's ass once in awhile. He can still bring heat, and if he can just give the Giants enough time to build a lead, and get to the bullpen, I think we have a shot at chasing Kershaw.

Let's roll with the home pup tonight.
