Race of the Week: FL Sire Stakes Affirmed at Gulfstream August 26, 2020 | By Jeremy Plonk
$200,000 FLORIDA SIRE STAKES SERIES AFFIRMED STAKES AT GULFSTREAM PARK
Saturday, August 29, 2020
By Jeremy Plonk

The Lead:
A quartet of stakes races and a mandatory payout in the Rainbow 6 pool highlight a fantastic day of betting at Gulfstream Park on Saturday. It's the Affirmed and Susan's Girl divisions of the Florida Sire Stakes series for 2-year-old boys and girls on dirt, along with a pair of open-company juvenile turf stakes races.

Field Depth:
Late summer 2-year-old racing is about class risers often from the maiden ranks, but this field does include the 1-2 finishers in the Florida Sires Stakes series opener in the Dr. Fager, BREEZE ON BY and GATSBY. The rest will have to prove themselves, including some moving from open company maiden victories to the restricted stakes ranks.

Pace:
BREEZE ON BY went wire-to-wire in the Dr. Fager and should be on the engine again. BIG DADDY DAVE and TOP BOSS both won in front-running fashion last out, as did FLORALA AL. Expect a solid pace over 7 furlongs, a stretch-out trip for nearly all of these.

Our Eyes:
The 1-length decision in the Dr. Fager, where BREEZE ON BY was the 3-5 favorite, certainly gave some credence to runner-up GATSBY as well. GATSBY was a step or 2 slow from the gate and spotted BREEZE ON BY several lengths in the opening jumps. The favorite was in command until the quarter-pole, when GATSBY had advanced up the rail and angled out to the 2-path to take him on. BREEZE ON BY briefly surrendered the lead off the bend, but dug back in on the inside to improve to 2-for-2. The final eighth in :13-1/5 didn't ignite confidence for the additional distance of the Affirmed, which will be a furlong farther. Since the Dr. Fager, GATSBY has been more active with 2 workouts to the one for BREEZE ON BY, suggesting he might have come out of the race a bit better than the winner.

That BREEZE ON BY owner/trainer Stonehedge LLC and Ralph Nicks entered not only their top gun, but also BIG DADDY DAVE and SEAZAN might not be a rousing endorsement. But it is a $200,000 stakes for juveniles in restricted company, so it's hard to pass.

SEAZAN 'rallied' to win over 7 furlongs, the only to cover this distance to date, on the same day of the Dr. Fager Stakes. But his final furlong in :13-2/5 was also on the slow side. SEAZAN adds blinkers, but loses jockey Emisael Jaramillo to BREEZE ON BY. Jaramillo also rode BIG DADDY DAVE to victory in his only start in late May. Pedigree-wise, the 'other' Nicks trainees are appealing, both by sire Khozan. His offspring are a very strong 18: 6-2-1 in Gulfstream 7-furlong sprints, and 4: 2-1-1 at this trip as 2-year-olds, including a stakes winner. Compare that to BREEZE ON BY's sire Cajun Breeze. We've seen his offspring struggle at this 2YO stakes distance in recent years, 4: 0-0-1, including well-backed disappointments at 2-1 and 5-2.

Further in the pedigree file, BIG DADDY DAVE's full-brother last year at age 2 went from a debut win at 4-1/2 furlongs to win a mile in his second start. BIG DADDY DAVE moves from the 5-furlong dash ranks and expands an additional quarter-mile with a chance to follow similar suit. He's got another half-sister who won sprinting 7 furlongs at Tampa. He may be the biggest price of the Nicks trio, and the one preferred.

Most Certain Exotics Contender: GATSBY doesn't need the lead and should be fit and ready for this test. Damsire Aldebaran was as good of a 7-furlong sprinter as you'll see.

Best Longshot Exotics Contender: TOP BOSS ran fast against maiden claimers and sire Khozan has strong numbers with his offspring at this trip. Trainer Kathleen O'Connell's barn is going well of late.

Sending it in ($100 bankroll): $60 win BIG DADDY DAVE. $10 exacta key-box BIG DADDY DAVE with GATSBY and BREEZE ON BY ($40). I would use BIG DADDY DAVE, BREEZE ON BY and GATSBY in the Rainbow 6.

August 29: Cross Country Pick 5 feat. Saratoga & Monmouth

August 27, 2020

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) will host a Cross Country Pick 5 that will offer three graded stakes in total, featuring action from historic Saratoga Race Course as well as Monmouth Park and Woodbine Racetrack on Saturday.

Saratoga will start the wager with an exciting juvenile maiden sprint, with a field of 10 contesting at six furlongs on the main track in Race 6 at 3:57 p.m. Eastern. Trainer Chad Brown has a pair of entrants in Highly Motivated and Founder, while Hall of Fame trainers Mark Casse and Steve Asmussen will send out Majestic Street and Happymac, respectively. Trainer Todd Pletcher will see Newbomb depart from the inside post.

Action will shift to Monmouth in Race 9 with a 4:14 p.m. post for the 1 1/2-mile turf route for 3-year-olds and up in an optional claimer. The 10-horse field will see trainer Kelly Breen saddle Epic Bromance, while Decisive Triumph and No Mans Land will be running with blinkers on.

Woodbine will commence the stakes portion of the Cross Country Pick 5 in the third leg with the Grade 3, $125,000 Ontario Colleen for 3-year-old fillies going one mile. Slated as Race 7 at 4:17 p.m., the contest will ironically feature Saratoga Vision. Owned and trained by Alexander Patykewich, the Kentucky-bred won't be running at the Spa, but instead will be looking to break her maiden in her 13th start and is coming off a runner-up effort as an 84-1 longshot in the Grade 3 Selene last month at Woodbine. The field also includes stakes-placed Avie's Samurai and Fly So Pretty, who won last year's Stewart Manor, as well as multiple stakes-winner Two Sixty and multiple graded stakes-placed Walk In Marrakesh.

Saratoga will close the sequence with a pair of Grade 1 contests, starting with the $300,000 Forego presented by America's Best Racing in Race 8 at 5:07 p.m. The seven-furlong contest for older horses on the main track will showcase Whitmore, who won the race's 2018 edition and will now attempt to join Groovy (1986-87) and Quick Call (1988-89) as the only horses to win multiple runnings of the Forego. The 7-year-old enters with a record of 35-14-11-3 and lifetime earnings of over $3.1 million. The Forego will also see Mind Control looking to become a Grade 1-winner at the Spa at ages 2, 3 and 4, while six-time graded stakes-winner Firenze Fire seeks his first Grade 1 triumph since taking the 2017 Champagne during his 2-year-old campaign.

The wager concludes in Saratoga's Race 9 with the Grade 1, $500,000 Sword Dancer for 4-year-olds and up going 1 1/2 miles on the inner turf at 5:43 p.m. A "Win and You're In" qualifier for the Breeders' Cup Turf on November 7 at Keeneland Race Course, the Forego will see trainer Mike Maker send out a trio of contenders in Aquaphobia, Marzo and Cross Border. Also in the race will be Sadler's Joy, who will make his fourth appearance in the Sword Dancer for trainer Tom Albertrani. The 7-year-old Kitten's Joy horse won this event in 2017, finished sixth in 2018 and last year rallied bravely to finish second by a neck to Annals of Time.

The minimum bet for the multi-track, multi-race wager is 50 cents. Wagering on the Cross Country Pick 5 is also available on ADW platforms and at simulcast facilities across the country. Every week will feature a mandatory payout of the net pool.

Cross Country Pick 5 - Saturday, August 29

Leg 1 - Saratoga, Race 6: (3:57 p.m.)
Leg 2 - Monmouth, Race 9: (4:14 p.m.)
Leg 3 - Woodbine, Race 7: G3 Ontario Colleen (4:17 p.m.)
Leg 4 - Saratoga, Race 8: G1 Forego (5:07 p.m.)
Leg 5 - Saratoga, Race 9: G1 Sword Dancer (5:43 p.m.)

Saturday Saratoga Late Pick 4 Analysis August 28, 2020 | By Johnny D
Saturday Saratoga Late Pick 4 Analysis

The final four Saturday Spa races provide a challenging sequence. Two Grade 1 stakes races—a loaded 7-furlong sprint and a collection of familiar faces going a mile and one-half—offer plenty of options to horseplayers. A maiden 2-year-old heat and a first level, state-bred allowance race, with 9 and 12 runners, respectively, don’t make things any easier. Of course, hitting Pick 4 wagers never is easy. This one, though, ought to reward those that can bring it to its knees. Below is one man’s humble attempt at a knockout punch. At best, perhaps, we can put you on a four-bagger. At worst, you might extract a handicapping nugget or two that aids your construction of a winning Pick 4 wager.

Race 8 – Forego Stakes
This is a loaded race with some real tough competitors signed on to exchange blows over seven furlongs. If you don’t like #2 Whitmore, then you don’t like horseracing. He’s a pro that shows up every time. He’s not always good enough to win but he’s always trying. Including the 2018 BC Sprint, #2 Whitmore has made 12 starts and has won 3 races with 4 seconds. He’s lost to the following foes: Roy H; Mitole (3 times); Maximum Security and Volatile! This is a tough race and #2 Whitmore is 7 years old and needs some pace to run at, so he’s no cinch. But we’d hate for him to beat us.

#3 Lexitonian shipped to California and nearly won the Gr. 1 Bing Crosby with a powerful late kick. This field is tougher than that one was but the 4-year-old clearly is in good form.

#6 Complexity is a sharp allowance winner for Chad Brown. He’s won 4 of 7 starts, is 1-for-1 at Saratoga and 1-for-3 at the distance. He cuts back from a one-turn mile win at Belmont. His past performances are nearly schizophrenic as his losses are complete blowouts. He’s got a Gr. 1 win, but it came at 2 in the Champagne.

#8 Firenze Fire has had a nice career with a reputation somewhat diminished by guilt by association. He transferred from federally indicted trainer Jason Servis’ barn to Kelly Breen’s outfit three races ago. He’s won one of those starts—Gr. 2 True North. Overall, he’s racked up 11 wins in 27 starts and that’s against quality foes, too. He’s earned nearly $2 million! Like #2 Whitmore, he’s been beaten by the very best—Volatile, Vekoma, Mitole, Imperial Hint—and none of those monsters are in here, so he’s got to be respected.

#10 Mind Control won the Gr. 1 Allen Jerkens at Saratoga last year against fellow 3-year-olds and then added a pair of Gr. 3 Aqueduct scores to his resume in January and March. He appeared to not like a sloppy track in the Gr. 1 Carter but bounced back with a solid try in the Vanderbilt against #2 Whitmore and #8 Firenze Fire. Seven wins in 14 starts, plus 2 out of 3 at the Spa and 4 of 7 at the distance make this guy a ‘must use.’ This outside post position also should help matters.

#11 Fortin Hill is a wild card in this race. He’s won 3 of 4 starts for Chad Brown and, therefore, can’t be ignored. He has no stakes experience and, obviously, has lingering physical issues—he’s raced in Oct. ’18; June ’19; April ’20 and July ’20. Perhaps Brown has him finally healthy enough to put two races back-to-back, but what a bunch of pros to have to defeat in your first stakes try!

Race 9—Sword Dancer
Five of these 8 runners come out of the same race—Bowling Green, Aug. 1—and 4 of those finished within 2 lengths of each other. That afternoon, #8 Sadler’s Joy closed well, arrived first, but was disqualified for drifting in and causing interference. That’s a shame because the 7-year-old produced one of his best races in a while and the win would have snapped a winless streak that extends back to November of ’19. Can he duplicate the effort? He’s got to stay wide, in the clear, so he can launch his closing charge.

#6 Cross Border ran as well as #8 Sadler’s Joy and was bothered by the original winner. He was a mere neck back at the finish and may have been best. By virtue of a stewards’ decision he kept an amazing Saratoga turf course streak alive with 5 wins in as many tries. That’s impressive, even if he needed help from above in the stews stand to keep it going. These two runners--#6 Cross Border and #8 Sadler’s Joy must be respected right back in the Sword Dancer.

#1 Highland Sky closed reasonably well on the outside of all the commotion and was not hindered at all. He ran well, but he’s 1 for his last 9 and that win came in a restricted stakes race. He’s also never hit the board in 4 tries at the distance.

#5 Channel Maker originally was fourth in the Bowling Green and was moved to third via disqualification. He did not appear to be going as well late as the first three finishers. He’s now 1 for his last 13, with his previous tally in May of ’19.

#3 Marzo and #2 Aquaphobia are examples of Mike Maker claims that have done well in graded distance turf races under the new trainer’s care. The former set the pace in the Bowling Green and should do the same in here. He’s a Grade 3 stakes winner at the Sword Dancer distance. #2 Aquaphobia won the Grade 1 United Nations in fine style last out and gets Irad Ortiz in the saddle. He’s certainly going great at the moment but is 0-4 over the Spa green and 0-2 at the distance. The latter would be the only one of the two we would consider using.

Race 10—Maiden
It doesn’t take a genius to assume that discussion of a 2-year-old maiden race at Saratoga ought to begin with runners trainer by Todd Pletcher and Chad Brown. We’ll start with #2 Always Carina by Malibu Moon. She’s worked out at Saratoga every 6-8 days since July 10, with 3 three-eighths of a mile works, 2 half-miles, a five-eighths and another half-mile. The last in the series was from the gate in :47 1/5 and appears to have been in even company with Brown’s other starter in the race #5 Zainalarab. She also has worked steadily—every 6 or 7 days since July 15—including 2 half-mile gate drills, two five-eighths works and a bullet half and a bullet three-eighths. She seems the better of the two Browns that are ridden by Irad and Jose Ortiz, respectively. Difficult to ignore any Brown/Ortiz brother combination.

#3 Jouster hails from the Pletcher barn and has a shorter work tab than either Brown runner but has a :59 4/5 gate drill—a serious sign of intent. John Velazquez rides.

For ticket building purposes, we’ll go against the grain a bit and use fillies with acceptable previous racing experience and hope to connect on a price. #6 Peachy Queen has a race under her belt and that’s often a plus, especially when it’s a decent try—third, beaten less than four lengths—while running till the end. Trainer Danny Gargan is 30% with 20 maiden 2-year-old second time starters, according to ThoroGraph stats. An extra half furlong ought to be acceptable to her highness. Plus, with all the advertising Mattress Mac has done, you’ve got to root for Runhappy to sire a Spa winner for a $100k bonus.

#7 O’Gotten Girl has a turf start under her belt and it was a decent effort. Her trainer is 22% with runners going turf to dirt.

#8 Spun d’ Etat has been third in two previous six-furlong tries—one at Keeneland and one at the Spa. She’s not without a chance and draws a nice outside box for this. Hustling Luis Saez takes over in the saddle, so expect early fireworks.

#9 Rookery, a Pennsylvania bred, had a decent start for trainer Tom Amoss, as she closed for trainer Wayne Catalano to miss by a mere neck. Jockey Jose Lezcano moves from #8 Spun d’Etat to #9 Rookery for this and he’s 21% with Catalano.

Race 11—State-Bred Allowance
We conclude the Pick 4 sequence with a first-level, state-bred allowance race. There’s an interesting handicapping angle at play in here. #8 Miss Jimmy invades from Finger Lakes, a lesser New York track. Normally, she’d be a pretty quick toss. However, she’s won 6 races out of 11 starts and that’s 3 more than everyone else in the field (#1 Kinky Sox has 3 wins in 15 starts). Because those victories came in races with smaller purses they don’t count against #8 Miss Jimmy and she qualifies for this condition and she’s 15-1 on the morning line. Now, she may not be good enough at the Spa but her affinity for winning is something worth attention in a race where others seem allergic to it.

#7 Midnight Surprise has Pletcher/I. Ortiz power working for her off a solid state-bred maiden score as favorite. Back-to-back wins wouldn’t be out of the question.

#6 Flashpackinbarbie has good speed, 2 wins in 4 tries and experience at this level—a well-beaten second last out.

#5 Firenze Freedom, making her first start for Kelly Breen after switching from Jason Servis, broke her maiden against state-bred foes and then sandwiched a couple of stakes tries around a try at the optional $80k/n1x level. She wasn’t close in those races but wasn’t completely dusted either. She may go much better in here.

#3 Eloquent Speaker cuts back from a mile and one-eighth attempt last out where she stumbled at the start, recovered and then led into the stretch. That effort ought to have her legged up sufficiently for this. She’s got a win in 3 tries, a second and a third last out.

#4 Bustin Scones finished second at this level last out and also on June 13 at Belmont. Trouble with her is that she has just 1 win in 13 tries with 4 seconds.

8th Race: 2, 6, 8, 10
9th Race: 2, 6, 8

Al Cimaglia: Woodbine Mohawk Park Late Pick 4 Analysis August 29, 2020 | By Al Cimaglia
It is a huge night of racing at Woodbine Mohawk Park featuring the $1,000,000 North America Cup and a mandatory Jackpot Hi-5 payout. The Late Pick 4 begins in Race 10 and it will be my focus. Part of the sequence includes the Roses Are Red Final, the North America Cup, and the Eternal Camnation for 2-year-old fillies.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 10-Roses Are Red Final-Purse $290,000

3-Major Occasion A (9/2)-Comes off an even effort at Tioga but this mare can go from looking okay to great. Gets a good post draw and should be forwardly placed throughout. Looks like a player at a fair price and does good work on a big oval.
6-Warrawee Ubeaut (7/2)-Winner in 3 of 5 starts at Wbsb and Gingras could be flying off the gate. Won the Breeders Crown here last year and should be in the hunt once again.
7-So Much More (5-1)-Steps-up to meet some tough mares but this gal loves taking pictures. Has won 16 of 34 at Wbsb and 26 of 52 lifetime. The pace could be hot and that helps, so best to respect at a nice price.

Race 11-Pepsi North America Cup Final-Purse $1,000,000

4-Tall Dark Stranger (7/5)-Makes 3rd start on Lasix and wasn't dominant in last week's elimination but Gingras said there was an issue with pulling the ear plugs. Also, that was the 1st start since 8/8 and should be even better coming right back. Many will single and that is understandable, should be tough to beat with a decent trip but will likely be tested.
5-Capt Midnight (9/2)-Alagna trainee has no excuses starting next to the Stranger from a good post. If McNair pushes the button at the right time this colt may finally get some revenge over the odds-on favorite.

Race 12-Eternal Camnation-Purse $71,638

5-Best Head West (3-1)-Has hit the board in 3 of 4 starts at Wbsb with 2 wins. Hasn't shown much gate speed but can roll late and short field won't hurt chances.
6-Scarlett Hanover (2-1)-It's best to respect the program chalk with Gingras taking a seat tonight. Will toss last when a poor start hampered any chance of winning. Can take a picture with a top effort but not sure gunning out for the lead at this track leads to a picture.
7-Lady Midnight (5/2)-Another Alagna pupil that appears to be getting better and maybe will show some gate speed here. McClure is back aboard after a nice 2nd tier win versus easier.

Race 13

5-Traceur Hanover (3-1)-Classy veteran takes a good drop in class. $1,000,000 earner isn't dominant very often but if he gets the top and sets his own pace his determination can become evident. Roy will probably be on the engine or in the pocket.
7-Sports Column (12-1)-Started from the 2nd tier and did pace the last half in 53.3 on 8/22. McNair can put in play from this post and get a good early seat. Using and looking for a price to pump up the Pick 4 payout.
9-Points North (6-1)-Winner of 6 in 25 starts at Wbsb was part of very quick mile last week and raced well after stepping-up to this level. Drury may blast out, this 6-year-old has big gate speed and could trip out at a solid price.

0.20 Late Pick 4

Total bet=$10.80

Brian Nadeau's Daily Picks Saratoga - Race #5

Picks
Notes

#3 Love and Love
Price player goes for a Miceli barn that has quietly had a good meet with limited starters, aired the last time she was on the main track, got the perfect tightener out of the way last time, and meets a crew there for the taking; upset special.

#4 Archumybaby
Popular miss has been claimed five times in her last seven starts and now goes for Rodriguez, who knows how to move them up, and the win over open 25k foes last time should set her up nicely for this NYB AOC group; looms very large.

#1 Letmetakethiscall
The chalk and inside speed might also be a Lone F, which would be problematic for the top pair, as she just took pace pressure and almost wired, but she's also going an unknown 7Fs today, and figures way overbet as well; trying to beat.

Race Summary
That 8-1 ML sure seems juicy on the 3, who fits nicely on paper with these and looked like she was aimed for this spot all along, so play her in all the slots, and especially to end the early Pk5/Pk4 as well, since she could fall through the wagering cracks, which means a win would add plenty of value at the end of both sequences.

Saratoga - Race #8

Picks
Notes

#6 Complexity
GI winner has had his share of issues but when right he can be a freak, and now, off the big win last time, he finally puts races together, has a world of upside, and looks primed for a lifetime best run; love his chances here.

#3 Lexitonian
Hard-knocker rarely gets any publicity but runs his race every time and just missed in the Dmr GI, and while this group is a lot tougher, his recent form and run anywhere persona says he can play with these; do not ignore.

#10 Mind Control
Saratoga specialist has won a pair of GI 7F races over this oval, so this trip is perfect for him, and the close 3rd to Volatile here last time going 6Fs was sharp, and the pace will be more to his liking today as well; very playable.

Race Summary
This is a very solid group, but it's also one where we know what the top contenders are capable of, as they have all hit their peak, while the 6 has run just seven times and still has plenty of upside, so play him aggressively in all the slots, while getting some added value by keying him in the late Pk5/Pk4, since he looks poised to throw down a race today that the others simply might not be able to handle.

Saratoga - Race #9

Picks
Notes

#1 Highland Sky
Longshot ran quite well when 3rd to a few of these last time in the local GII prep, and he should like this longer trip today too, so from a ground-saving post, while hinting he's coming up to a biggie, against a group there for the taking, he may blow this up; bombs away.

#5 Corelli
Tactical sort ran well when 3rd in the Mth GI last time, in what was just his third start in the US, for Thomas, and since September too, so he's getting acclimated, is another who should like the trip, and may be primed to put it all together today; expecting a big run.

#8 Sadler's Joy
Grizzled veteran won this in 2017 and was best winning the prep last time, only to be DQ'd (and rightfully so), and his overall form is best here, but the price is short, the post isn't ideal, and his deep closing style leaves no margin for error; willing to make him prove it on top.

Race Summary
The price sure will be right on the pick, and he's not so far behind the favorites that he should be 10 times their mutuel, so give him a look in all the slots, and especially in the late Pk5/Pk4 as well, as he's always hinted he could be something, and this might finally be the spot where he puts it all together.

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks Laurel Park - Race #4

Picks
Notes

#11 Palace Intrigue
Debuts for a capable turf team, and while the wide draw is a bit of a concern, he's probably a big player here if he can find a spot into the first turn.

#4 Gandolfo
Delacour barn debuts this one, and although the pedigree isn't incredibly turfy, this is a sharp barn with these kinds.

#8 Elusive
Connections don't inspire much confidence, but this one brings a pretty solid turf pedigree to this and might be able to snag a share of this underneath.

Race Summary
Palace Intrigue gets the slight edge from the high draw, as those who have run in here haven't produced much, and this one might avoid some trouble while drawn out wide.

Laurel Park - Race #7

Picks
Notes

#5 Nautical Nature
Speed doesn't meet a wild bit of other pace in here, and that may give him a chance to wire this field if he doesn't take too much early heat. 6-1 ML offering would be fair.

#4 Padrino's Heart
Seems quick enough to find a decent spot tracking the pace, and he can get first jump on the deeper finishers into the lane.

#3 Joseph
Has some upside in this second start off the layoff after offering only a mild rally in that comeback run. He's got some back races that would do the trick, so don't count him out with some upside today.

Race Summary
Nautical Nature should be able to find the front with these on the hike while meeting a group that isn't all that imposing for this level.

Laurel Park - Race #8

Picks
Notes

#4 Atreyu
Steps up for this one, but there's no denying he has become an entirely different horse since moving to the turf. He's a perfect 6-for-6 on the grass and should be in line for a great trip from close range.

#10 Hard Fought
Forward player occasionally shows a bit of a pressing gear, and that would allow him to get a perfect kind of trip to get the jump on any deeper-finishing threats.

#12 Artemus Bridge
Recent form stacks up, but he gets a tough draw for his running style and might be resigned to a wide trip. One of many who can win this.

Race Summary
Atreyu has done nothing wrong in six turf starts, and he has earned today's class test as he tries the deepest bunch yet. The 6-1 ML price would be fair on the hike.

#3 KEYSTONE STEAM
Picked up steam too late, galloped out in front, gets ideal set-up.

#4 JOHNNY Q
Seeks three straight on the class hike, can stalk and pounce.

Race Summary
Better B Rolling made a quarter-pole move to the lead, shrugged off pressure on the final turn and drew away on the lead despite ‘broken equipment’ issues. He’s too good to pass up at 10-1 on the morning line for new connections. Play a 1-3-4 exacta box.

Good recovery from break as beaten fave, good value play in deep field.

#5 CAVIART AUDREY

#1 BET ON BECKY
Won all four starts at odds-on, starts from rail.

Race Summary
Postscript went off stride early, advanced steadily while 4-deep in the outer flow and 5-wide in the stretch, and finished on her own courage. She’s worth a bet at an inflated price in talent-laden stakes field. Play 6-1 and 6-5 exactas.

#5 SPORTSLINE
Giant effort in defeat, patient handling could reverse outcome.

#3 BEST IN SHOW

Race Summary
Sportsline chased longshot Highlandbeachlover through a torrid 1:21 third-quarter split, burst clear after he pulled from the pocket and got caught late. Let’s make him today’s Best Bet off that performance.

Made a power move into contention and wore down rivals for a maiden win at a mile on the grass last time; seems better with distance and is definitely better on grass.

#7 Fulmini
Responded to his first turf run with a solid score going five furlongs; bred for longer distances and Maker's runner have been a must use for quite a while.

#2 Rememdador
Rallied from far back and finished fourth in his only start, and this is not the strongest stakes spot, so it would not be out of the question for one like this to rise up.

Race Summary
Castle King moved strongly after a half-mile and continued on for the win; a good option here.

Gulfstream Park - Race #9

Picks
Notes

#1 Freak
Is a maiden after two races but opened up in the stretch and was caught late in a stakes races in her latest; clearly a runner and can break her maiden in this restricted stakes event.

#4 Go Jo Jo Go
Broke her maiden in her four try and it came when she beat Freak last time; could enjoy the seven furlongs.

#5 Princess Secret
Was caught by Go Jo Jo Go last time and has not had a bad day in three starts; troublesome on the front end.

Race Summary
Freak should get a good trip just off the speed and a well-time move can help her break her maiden in a stylish way.

Gulfstream Park - Race #10

Picks
Notes

#5 Spanish Loveaffair
Had an easy time of it as she won her debut by 11 lengths; the pace will be faster and the competition better, but the fact that she was so dominant in a two-turn turf race on her first career start was an eye opener.

#2 Can't Buy Love
Coasted in a five-furlong race in her debut and should have no problem stretching out; well spotted and a big player.

#4 Director's Cut
Broke her maiden in a mile turf race last time out and she's bred to go a long distance. Would not be a major surprise.

Race Summary
Spanish Loveaffair was powerful in her debut as she went the final half-mile in 48 seconds, which is a decent time for a 2-year-old filly. Steps up in class and has a good chance to handle the challenge.

NBA line movement for August 29
Patrick Everson

LeBron James and the Lakers can finish off the Trail Blazers in Game 5 Saturday. Portland won't have Damian Lillard (ankle), and Los Angeles is a 13.5-point favorite at The SuperBook.

NBA betting odds are up for Saturday’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 Saturday’s matchups.

NBA line movement

With Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard out due to a knee injury, The SuperBook opened the Lakers 13-point favorites for Saturday’s 9 p.m. ET tipoff. Late Friday night, the point spread moved to Lakers -13.5. Los Angeles boatraced Portland 135-115 in Game 4 Monday to take a 3-1 series lead.

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. And like L.A., Milwaukee is laying a big number, opening -13.5 with no line movement Friday night for a 3:30 p.m. ET start.

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets meet in Game 5 at 6:30 p.m. ET, with that series tied at 2. Rockets star Russell Westbrook is expected to make his first playoff appearance, after sitting the first four games with a quad strain. The SuperBook opened Houston -5.5 and ticked down to -5 Friday night.

The Thunder-Rockets total was also on the move Friday night, opening at 225.5 and moving to 227.

NHL public betting, line movement for August 29
Patrick Everson

Mathew Barzal and the Islanders made a big Game 2 comeback before losing to the Flyers 4-3 in overtime Wednesday. The Islanders opened -120 favorites at Caesars for Saturday's Game 3.

NHL betting odds are up for a Saturday playoff slate of three semifinal games. The Philadelphia Flyers and New York Islanders return to the ice for Game 3 of their Eastern Conference series, and the Vegas Golden Knights and Vancouver Canucks also meet in Game 3, in the Western Conference semis.

Caesars sportsbooks provided insights on NHL opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Saturday’s contests.

NHL odds movement

On Wednesday, the Flyers blew a 3-0 Game 2 lead, ultimately getting forced to overtime, where they scored less than three minutes in to beat the Islanders 4-3 and tie the series. Game 3 opened Islanders -120/Flyers +105 at Caesars books, and there was no line movement by late Friday night for this 7 p.m. ET clash.

Vegas and Vancouver are also knotted at a game apiece, after the Canucks rebounded from a 5-0 Game 1 bashing to take Tuesday’s Game 2, 5-2. Caesars sportsbooks opened at Golden Knights -200/Canucks +175 Friday morning, and there was no line movement by late Friday night for this 9:45 p.m. ET start.

NHL public betting

The Consensus is often indicative of public opinion, and Saturday’s early matchup – a noon ET Game 4 between the Lightning and the Bruins – showed two-way play. Tampa Bay was landing 55 percent of early picks and Boston 45 percent. Caesars pegged the line Tampa Bay -115/Boston even money.

Real Salt Lake at Portland Timbers 8/29/20 - MLS (Soccer)

Two teams that are coming off opposite results in their return from the MLS IS BACK Tournament will now clash against one another, when Portland will play host to Real Salt Lake on Saturday. Portland did great to win the Tournament but suffered a heavy loss against Seattle. Real Salt Lake returned to regular season duties with a strong win against Colorado.

Portland (3-2-1) are coming off a really balanced match at home against Cascadia rivals Seattle, where they saw their opponents scored three goals in the second half to force them to a harsh 3-0 loss. Portland have been excellent so far in the season, losing just two of their ten matches in all competitions so far (6-2-2). They are sitting at the 4th spot of the league table with 10 points, scoring 8 goals and conceding 10 in the process.

Real Salt Lake (2-1-3) destroyed Colorado by a confident 4-1 on the road in their last match, in a match where they scored an own goal at the first half. But they exploded in the second half, scoring four goals and reaching a really solid victory. Real Salt Lake did a solid job in the group stage of the MLS IS BACK Tournament (1-1-1) but were demolished in the knockout round by 2-5 in the hands of San Jose. They are now sitting at the 6th spot of the league table with 9 points, scoring 7 goals and conceding just 4 (San Jose’s five goals in the knockout round do not count towards the regular season).

Free Soccer Pick: Portland Timbers -112

Portland won both matches against Real Salt Lake last season, but it was Real Salt Lake who eventually beat them in the Conference knock-out round. Portland just barely have the upper hand as hosts in this match-up (4-3-5), but have lost just one of their last seven (3-1-3). Portland will be eager to bounce back after a tough loss against Seattle and I am backing them here.

Columbus Crew at Cincinnati 8/29/20 - MLS (Soccer)

FC Cincinnati fought really hard in the MLS IS BACK Tournament, they did not go far but they showed some great promise. However, they failed to replicate their strong performances in two matches ever since. They will now host Columbus on Saturday, who had a similar run in the MLS IS BACK Tournament, but have somewhat kept their form.

FC Cincinnati (2-4-1) are coming off a really bad performance on the road against Chicago Fire, where they were terrible on both ends of the pitch and eventually lost by 0-3. They conceded two early goals by the 10th minute and were unable to recover. Prior to that they played for a goal-less draw at home against DC United, which means that they have only won two of their eight matches so far in the season, both in the group stage of the MLS IS BACK Tournament (2-4-2). FC Cincinnati are sitting at the 10th spot of the Eastern Conference with 7 points, scoring just 6 goals and conceding 12.

Columbus Crew (5-1-1) did not perform really well in their away match against NYCFC, where they lost by a slim 0-1. They did not create a lot of chances and conceded the only goal of the match at the 50th minute for the final 0-1. However, that was just their first loss of the season, as Columbus were really impressive in the MLS IS BACK Tournament before bowing out to Minnesota United. They are leading the Eastern Conference with 16 points, scoring 12 goals so far and conceding just two in the process.

Free Soccer Pick: FC Cincinnati 0.5

The two teams met a few weeks ago in the MLS IS BACK Tournament, where Columbus destroyed Cincinnati by a massive 0-4. Last season they grabbed four points in two matches against Cincinnati. Columbus have been excellent this season but Cincinnati have looked pretty active on the offensive end. This is not going to be an easy match for Columbus, especially with some of their most creative midfielders missing. Taking the home side to cover the spread.

Orlando City at Atlanta United 8/29/20 - MLS (Soccer)

Two teams that recorded wins in their last match will now lock horns against one another on Saturday, when Atlanta United will host Orlando City. Oddly enough, both teams beat Nashville at home, both by a two-goal margin.

Atlanta United (3-3-0) finally scored some goals and managed to easily win their home match against Nashville. It wasn’t an easy match for them, but Pity scored a goal at the end of each half to grant them a nice win. Prior to that, Atlanta had four consecutive losses in all competitions without even scoring a single goal. They are now sitting at the 8th spot of the Eastern Conference with 9 points, scoring 6 goals and conceding 5 in the process.

Orlando City (3-2-2) bounced back to winning ways with a confident 1-3 at home against Nashville. They actually conceded the first goal in that match but managed to pull even shortly after, before scoring two more goals in the second half for the final 1-3 win. That means that they have only kept two clean sheets in 11 matches in all competitions so far in the season. Orlando City are sitting at the 4th spot of the Eastern Conference with 11 points, scoring 12 goals and conceding nine in the process.

Free Soccer Pick: Orlando City SC 0

The two teams met on three occasions last season, twice for the MLS and once for the US Open Cup, and Atlanta United won all three occasions with clean sheets. They have been tremendous in this match-up so far, going undefeated in nine matches and winning each of the last six. Things have been a bit more balanced in this venue though (2-0-2). Even so, Orlando City have looked much healthier this season and I will back them up to cover the spread here.

Paris Saint-Germain at Lens 8/29/20 - Ligue 1(Soccer)

Lens is heading into the game here with a loss already pinned on them this year. The Lens club is sitting in 17th place in the table. The Lens club opening game loss was a 2-1 loss to the Nice club. That is definitely a testament to the upcoming play that Lens has on the year and how they should be able to continue to build up on the year.

Leading the scoring for the Lens club was Gael Kakuta who put in the single goal in the game. Ismael Boura managed to get an assist in the game which helped to lead to the goal scoring chance by Kakuta.

PSG is coming to the game here after picking up a couple of wins in their last couple of games. Granted, those wins do not mean anything in the standings as they were both club friendlies, but they allowed the PSG club to get fine tuned and ready to get back on the pitch to get ready for the regular Ligue 1 season.

Last season in a total of 20 games Kylian Mbappe ended up leading the team in goal scoring with 20 goals. Neymar played in 15 games for the PSG club and scored a total of 13 goals. Angel Di Maria ended up leading PSG in the assist department with a total of 14 assist in his 26 matches played.

Free Soccer Pick: Over 3.5

Lens is definitely outmatched in the game here. Look for the PSG club to play great in the match here and that will definitely help the PSG club out. What else helps PSG out is the fact that the defense for PSG will play great in the match here and that will keep Lens from scoring and coupled with the offensive pressure of PSG it will help the Paris Saint-Germain club to win here. Final Score Prediction, Paris Saint-German win 4-1.

Montpellier at Rennais 8/29/20 - Ligue 1(Soccer)

Rennais did not have an easy task in the premiere of the Ligue 1 last week, but did manage to salvage a point from their away match. They will now play their first home match of the season on Saturday, when they will play host to Montpellier. The visitors haven’t yet played a league match and looked mediocre in their friendlies.

Rennais (0-0-1) are coming into this match after a 1-1 draw on the road against Lille in the premiere. They saw an early red card and their opponents took the lead at the 40th minute, before they themselves saw a red card. Rennais were much better in that match and managed to pull even for the final 1-1. Rennes were excellent in six warm-up friendlies in August (4-1-1), scoring in all matches and keeping three clean sheets. They have been tremendous at home lately, losing just one of their last 12 competitive matches in all competitions (9-1-3).

Montpellier (0-0-0) have not played yet in the new season, and judging by how their did in their friendlies, they will have a tough time keeping clean sheets. They won just one of their four friendlies earlier in August (1-1-2), with all four matches featuring goals from both sides. And these were all lower-quality teams too, so Montpellier will have to fix their defense. Last season they were really bad on the road (1-8-5), scoring just 9 goals and conceding 24 in the process.

Free Soccer Pick: Stade Rennais FC +107

Rennais destroyed Montpellier by a massive 0-5 in this venue last season, and had also won the reverse fixture. That means that Rennais are now undefeated in their last eight matches against Montpellier (4-0-4), keeping three clean sheets in the process. Rennais have also been great as hosts in this match-up, losing just one of the last nine matches here (5-1-3). Taking the home win here.

Coke Zero Sugar 400 8/29/20 - NASCAR

The Coke Zero Sugar is going back to Daytona to finish up the regular season for NASCAR. However, the race will be different this time than what the races were earlier this year. Now, some of those changes come from the season, but also the weather that can have an impact on the track as well. So who is going to win in the race here?

Denny Hamlin is coming into the race here looking good and the favored driver. However, the racing that Hamlin has been able to do has looked really good and not to mention at Daytona he has looked good as well. The problem is the time of year is when Hamlin has done really good, but the heat in Daytona could lead to him struggling.

Jimmie Johnson is another driver that has really done well at Daytona. The problem is he is also coming into the race here with some age issues that could end up having some problems for him being able to last in the entire race.

Magomed Ankalaev vs Ion Cutelaba 8/29/20 - UFC Fight Night

Magomed is coming into the fight here standing at 6’3” and 205 pounds. When it comes to his reach Ankalaev has a reach that is sitting at 75 inches. When it comes to his overall record he has managed to fight well enough to get a 13-1 record.

Ankalalev tends to use more of an orthodox style when it comes to his fighting stance. Magomed is coming into the fight here as a striker and that will definitely help him out to a point in the fight here. The last 5 bouts for Ankalalev were good with 4 wins and 1 loss. The loss was a submission loss in 2018. The wins were one unanimous decision win, but he did pick up 3 KO/TKO wins.

Ion is coming to the bout giving up a height advantage at 6’1” and 205 pounds. When it comes to his reach he actually has the exact same reach as his opponent at 75 inches. The record that Ion holds right now is sitting at 15-5 so far in his career.

Cutelaba is coming into the fight here as a southpaw. He is seen as a striker and wrestler when it comes to the fight. What is interesting is the fact that Cutelaba has managed to get 3 wins and 2 losses in his last 5 fights. Those wins have all been by the KO/TKO decision and the losses were by a submission and a KO.

Free Boxing Pick: Magomed Ankalaev -300

Ion is coming in as a hard striker as seen by his number of KO’s in the record book. However, what else will be interesting is the fact that Ion has ended up getting a few losses that have went against him and even throwing more strikes per minute he is not as accurate. Look for that to make the difference as Aankalaev is able to land more blows, but also land more where it matters and that leads to a win. UFC Fight Night Winner Prediction, Magomed Ankalaev.

In the losses 2 of them were the KO/TKO loss and the other loss was a split decision loss.

Not to mention Lamas has a reach advantage as well. Look for Lamas to come into the match here and that will help him in winning the bout. UFC Fight Night Winner Prediction, Ricardo Lamas.

Alexa Grasso vs Ji Yeon Kim 8/29/20 - UFC Fight Night

Ji Yeon is coming into the match here fighting good in her career so far. However, Kim has managed to come into the fight here standing at 5’7” and 125 pounds. She does have a good 72 inch reach and that is definitely an advantage in a lot of her bouts. With her overall record, Kim is sitting on a 9-2-2 record.

When it comes to her fighting stance Kim is coming into the bout using the orthodox stance. When it comes to her fighting style Kim is seen more of a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter. In her last 5 bouts she has posted a 3-2 record in those bouts. 2 of those wins were split decision wins, 1 was a KO/TKO win. The 2 loses were both by a unanimous decision loss.

Alexa is heading into the bout here standing at only 5’5” and 125 pounds. When it comes to her reach she is definitely giving up the advantage as she has a reach that is only sitting at 66 inches. Grasso does have a good 11-3 record in her career so far.

Grasso tends to be seen as an orthodox fighter for her stance. When it comes to her fighting style she is seen as a striker. The last 5 bouts have developed into a loss, win, loss pattern. That has led to her getting a 2-3 record in the last 5 matches. The losses have come in different forms with one being an M decision, another being a unanimous decision, but also a submission as well. The wins came in the form of a split decision and a unanimous decision win.

Free Boxing Pick: Ji Yeon Kim +240

The fight here will be fairly evenly matched and definitely can provide quite a bit of action in the match. The big difference comes in the fighting styles and the fact that Grasso has struggled at times and while she has fought great in the bouts she will not be able to overcome the reach advantage that Kim holds in the bout.

Robbie Lawler vs Neil Magny 8/29/20 - UFC Fight Night

Robbie Lawler is coming to the bout here standing at 5’11” and 170 pounds. However, Lawler does have a 74 inch reach. The downside is Lawler is coming into the bout here with a 28-14 record overall so far and has not really been that balanced of a fighter so far.

Robbie Lawler is coming into the bout here as a Southpaw and is seen as a striker. He is not that good in the last 5 bouts that he has been involved in. Lawler has ended up with a 1-4 record in the last 5 bouts. He lost 2 of those by a unanimous decision, 1 by submission, 1 by KO/TKO. The win that he did pick up came in 2017 which was a unanimous decision win.

Neil Magny is coming into the bout here with a significant height advantage as he stands at 6’3” and 170 pounds. However, Magny also has a good reach advantage as well with an 80 inch reach and that could really come into play in the bout here. Neil has ended up with a 23-8 record overall in his career so far.

Magny tends to be more of an orthodox style of fighter. However, one thing that he has not really been doing is fighting with any type of declared fighting style. Now, in stark contrast of the last 5 bouts of his opponent Magny has posted a 4-1 record. 3 of those wins have come in the point of a unanimous decision win, the other win was by a TKO/KO win. The loss, though, was by a TKO/KO loss and it was back in 2018.

Free Boxing Pick: Neil Magny -240

Lawler has really struggled in his last 5 bouts and that will definitely come into play here. However, what else is another issue for Lawler is the fact he throws 3.57 strikes a minute compared to Magny who throws 3.95. Now, that is a slight advantage, but the take down advantage is significant with 2.55 compared to .71. Look for that to make a significant difference in the bout here as it allows Magny to control the bout. UFC Fight Night Winner Prediction, Neil Magny.

The match here is the main event for the fight night on 8/29/20 and it takes place at the UFC Apex. Coming into the bout you have Anthony Smith who is standing at 6’4” ad 205 pounds. Smith does have a good reach that sits at 76 inches. Smith is coming into the match here with a 32-15 record overall.

Smith is heading into the bout here with an orthodox stance, but is also a striker as well. When it comes to his last 5 bouts Smith has posted a 3-2 record. The wins were coming in the form of 2 submission wins, but also a KO/TKO win. The losses, though, were by a unanimous decision and also a KO/TKO loss.

Rakic is heading to the bout here with the same height that is present for Smith at 6’4” and also comes in at 205 pounds. When it comes to his reach it actually is a little bit better at 78 inches. The overall record for Rakic coming into the bout is sitting at 12-2.

Aleksandar is coming into the bout here using the orthodox stance, but also is seen as a striker that will help him out here as he can get more blows delivered. The last 5 bouts for Rakic ended up with a 4-1 record. Rakic managed to get 2 unanimous decisions, but also 2 KO/TKO wins. The last bout for Rakic was a split decision loss in December.

Free Boxing Pick: Aleksandar Rakic -305

With the bout here Smith has done really well in his fights and throws quite a few good strikes at 3.19 per minute. However, even with that number of strikes coming out of the bouts for Smith he is outmatched by Rakic. Rakic has typically been able to throw 5.17 strikes per minute and that is definitely a greater number of throws and his accuracy is quite a bit better which helps Rakic in this fight.

MIL Bucks Win -14.0 Point Spread
-110

Over 226.5 Game Totals
-110

Against the Spread Pick
Why is this series still going on? Okay, that’s a rhetorical question. Obviously it’s still going on because the Orlando Magic actually took Game 1. Now that the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks have restored order to the proceedings with three dominant wins, however, it feels like it should be over. And–hypothetically–it is. The Magic did well to win just a single game against such a heavily favored opponent, but they are quite simply done. They have lost each of the past three contests by at least 14 points and in two of those they trailed by more than 20 points at halftime. As special as some other players have been in the bubble, Giannis Antetokounmpo is showing why he will win a second consecutive NBA MVP Award. He has led his team in all three main statistical categories twice this series, including a 31-point, 15-rebound, eight-assist performance in Game 4. The Magic are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 overall, 1-5 ATS in their last six first-round games, and 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings between the two teams. Milwaukee is 7-1 ATS in its last eight first-round games and 12-4 ATS in its last 16 as a favorite. Take the Bucks, but always proceed with caution when it comes to such a humongous spread.

Over Under Pick
The winning team has scored at least 121 points in three of the four contests during this series. Kris Middleton finally got hot for Milwaukee late in Game 4, finishing with 21 points. That should give him plenty of confidence heading into Wednesday. For Orlando, Nikola Vucevic has exceeded the 30-point mark three times in four games. The over is 22-5-1 in the Magic’s last 28 overall and 4-1 in their last five against opponents with winning percentages over .600. It is also 7-3 in the Bucks’ last 10 overall and 4-1 in their last five as favorites. Look for this one to go over the total.

-110

Under 224.5 Game Totals
-110

Against the Spread Pick
The only postseason series currently tied at the moment will see one team seize the upper hand when the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder battle in a crucial Game 5 on Saturday. Houston once led 2-0, but Oklahoma City has answered with back-to-back wins. Russell Westbrook’s absence is catching up to the Rockets and James Harden is once again trying to do too much in the playoffs–without much success. Harden is averaging just 32.0 ppg in the playoffs on 31.9 percent three-point shooting, and OKC lockdown defender Luguentz Dort has been outstanding on him. On the other end of the court, Thunder guard Dennis Schroder has come off the bench to score 29 and 30 points the past two games. The Thunder are 35-17 ATS in their last 52 as underdogs and 7-2 in the last nine meetings between the two teams. Houston is 2-5 ATS in its last seven overall, 2-7 ATS in its last nine following a loss, and 1-5 ATS in its last six as a favorite. Take Oklahoma City, but without question grab the points as opposed to the money line.

Over Under Pick
This has been the fifth-fastest series in terms of pace of play at fewer than 100 possessions per game for each team. Houston and OKC are ninth and 11th, respectively, in offensive rating (points per 100 possessions). With Westbrook out again, another relatively modest-scoring affair could be in the cards. The total for Game 4 was 220; this one has adjusted up to 224. Yes, it’s an opportunity to snag the under. The under is 46-21-1 in the Thunder’s last 68 as underdogs. It is also 47-22-1 in the Rockets’ last 70 against opponents with winning percentages over .600 and 8-3 in their last 11 following a loss. Look for this one to stay under the total.

PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS @ LOS ANGELES LAKERS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS

LA Lakers Win -13.5 Point Spread
-110

Over 222.5 Game Totals
-110

Against the Spread Pick
Well, it was fun while it lasted for the Portland Trail Blazers. They stole Game 1 from the Los Angeles Lakers but have since lost three in a row — by 13 points, by eight points, and by 20 points. And that was with Damian Lillard (at least until he sustained a knee injury midway through Game 4). Lillard will miss Saturday’s contest, as will forward Zach Collins (ankle). In other words, Portland is reeling both mentally and physically and will likely be on the wrong end of another blowout in Game 5. LeBron James and Anthony Davis have been outstanding for the Lakers, who will smell blood in the water and will be eager to get this one done to rest up for tougher matchups on the horizon. The Trail Blazers are 1-5 ATS in their last six overall and 0-5 ATS in their last five playing on one day of rest. Los Angeles is 4-1-1 ATS in its last six playoff games as a favorite and 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings between the two teams. Go with the Lakers, but–again–a 13.5-point spread in the playoffs is not something you want to go crazy over.

Over Under Pick
Lillard’s absence will hurt the scoring a bit, but CJ McCollum and Carmelo Anthony are capable of picking up at least some of the slack. If the game turns out to be a laugher early, don’t be surprised if defense becomes optional. Portland has not been playing much of it anyway. Center Jusuf Nurkic has been stellar on the offensive end, but he has no chance against Davis on defense. The over is 26-11 in the Trail Blazers’ last 37 overall and 8-3 in their last 11 against opponents with winning records. It is also 15-7 in the Lakers’ last 22 against opponents with losing records. This total has plummeted to 222.5 and therefore presents a nice opportunity to jump on the over.

Atlanta Win Money Line
+150

Orlando City FC will be playing its third match in the span of eight days when it visits Atlanta United on Saturday afternoon. Since coming away from the MLS is Back Tournament with a surprising runner-up finish, the Lions have lost to Inter Miami 3-2 and defeated expansion franchise Nashville SC 3-1. Atlanta United, on the other hand, did not play its scheduled match earlier this week against Inter Miami amidst the racial injustice protests. The Five Strips played last weekend took care of Nashville 2-0. Playing at home–as they did that contest–they are simply a different club than on the road (such as where they lost all three of their tournament matches in Orlando). Pity Martinez is the current face of the team with Jozef Martinez sidelined by an ACL injury, and Martinez picked up the slack by scoring both of Atlanta’s goals in the defeat of Nashville. In what has also bee an extremely lopsided head-to-head matchup, Atlanta has won five in a row against Orlando City–including the last three all with shutouts. Although the Lions are better than they have been in recent seasons, they probably won’t come away from Mercedes-Benz Stadium with any points at the expense of a more rested Atlanta side.

DC UNITED @ PHILADELPHIA UNION PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (Soccer)

Philadelphia Win Money Line
-140

The Philadelphia Union and DC United are close to opposite extremes of the Eastern Conference standings heading into Saturday’s showdown in the City of Brotherly Love. Philadelphia is two spots from the top of the table, with a 3-1-3 record that is good for 12 points. DC United’s 1-3-3 mark gives it six points and leaves it two places from the cellar. With Philadelphia also enjoying the benefit of its home field for this one, all signs point point to more success for it and another loss for DC. The Union has been outstanding of late, with only one loss in its past nine matches–and that was to eventual champion Portland in the semifinals of the MLS is Back Tournament. They are coming off a 1-0 shutout of the New York Red Bulls on Tuesday. Kacper Przybylko was up to his usual tricks with the lone goal during that tilt. DC, on the other hand, failed to make it out of the group stage in Orlando, drew with a mediocre FC Cincinnati squad, and then lost 2-1 at home against New England (seventh place in the East) on Tuesday. The Black and Red are 0-2 in their last two matches in this head-to-head series and lost those by a combined 8-2 scored (both taking place last August during the 2019 Major League Soccer regular season). In seven matches, they have scored just twice during the run of play (not off set pieces or penalty kicks). Philadelphia should roll.

NYCFC Win Money Line
-135

New York City FC has recovered from a disastrous start to the 2019-20 campaign with a solid 3-2-0 record in its past five matches. The Pigeons won their last group-stage contest at the MLS is Back Tournament and beat Toronto 3-1 in the round of 16 (did not count in the regular-season standings) before succumbing to eventual champion Portland. Despite losing at the New York Red Bulls 1-0 last week, they bounced back at home with an impressive 1-0 victory over Eastern Conference-leading Columbus on Monday. Captain Alex Ring, who has been struggling, scored the lone goal so perhaps that will get him going. As those two results suggest, NYCFC is simply a different club in its own friendly confines of Yankee Stadium than it is on the road. Visiting teams simply struggle to find their groove on the smallest pitch in Major League Soccer. Perhaps no club is more aware of New York’s home-field dominance than Chicago. In their last two trips to Yankee Stadium dating back to September of 2018, the Fire are 0-2 overall and have lost by a combined 3-0 margin. They have played three official road matches during this regular season and have a 0-2-1 record to show for it, most recently taking a 3-0 loss at Columbus last Thursday. Nothing indicates that the tide is suddenly going to turn on Saturday.

COLUMBUS CREW SC @ FC CINCINNATI PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (Soccer)

Columbus Win Money Line
-120

The best team in Major League Soccer (16 points) will be back on the field when the Columbus Crew visit Cincinnati FC on Saturday. Columbus is 5-1-1 and will be eager to get back on track after suffering its first regular-season loss the year–a 1-0 setback at New York City FC on Monday (the Crew also lost to Minnesota on penalty kicks at the MLS is Back Tournament). NYCFC, however, enjoys one of the best home-field advantages in all of Major League Soccer by playing on a uniquely small pitch. There is no such advantage with Cincinnati FC. The Orange and Blue entered the league an an expansion franchise last season and have not been good either at home or on the road (they have actually been at their best at neutral sites, as they advanced out of group-stage competition in Orlando before falling to Portland in a shootout). Their worst performance in the bubble, however, came against none other than Columbus in the form of a 4-0 loss. The Crew have now won the past two meetings between the two teams by a combined 7-1 margin and they are 2-0 all time at Cincinnati with a combined margin of 6-1 in those contests. Columbus has surrendered just two goals in seven regular-season matches, one being a bizarre defensive miscue by Aboubacar Keita at NYFC that you can’t expect to happen again. Get all over the Crew.

NEW YORK RED BULLS @ NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (Soccer)

Under 2.5, 3 Game Totals
-110

It will be a battle between two teams tide for sixth place in the Eastern Conference (10 points through seven matches) when the New England Revolution entertain the New York Red Bulls on Saturday. New England is coming off a 2-1 win over DC United on Tuesday, which ended a streak of six consecutive matches in which no more than two goals had been scored. On four of those six occasions, no more than one goal was scored–including a 0-0 draw against Toronto. Both of the Revolution’s goals against DC (by Gustavo Bou and Teal Bunbury) came off corner kicks. They have just about hopeless during the run of play (not corner kicks, penalty kicks, or set pieces). New York has also been playing low-scoring matches left and right. In fact, clean sheets by at least one of the teams involved have been posted in five consecutive Red Bulls matches. Since leaving the MLS is Back Tournament in Orlando, they have defeated New York City FC 1-0 and lost to Philadelphia 1-0. These two clubs most recently faced each other in August of 2019, when they played to a 1-1 deadlock in New York. All signs point to goals being hard to come by this weekend.

MINNESOTA UNITED @ FC DALLAS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (Soccer)

Minnesota Win Or Draw Double Chance
-132

FC Dallas were forced to withdraw from the MLS is Back Tournament due to a coronavirus outbreak in their camp, and in their three matches since have yet to score a goal. Prior to the lockdown, they had scored at least twice in five consecutive matches, including friendlies, but it’s clear that their lack of match fitness has not left them the same team. They face a Minnesota United squad that reached the semifinals of the tournament and currently sits in third place in the Western Conference. Minnesota lost by one to Sporting Kansas City, currently in first place, in their only game since returning from Orlando. They’re clearly in better form, and while Dallas have now had a month of preparation and are desperate for a win, their team just isn’t strong enough to be outright better than Minnesota for a full 90 minutes. True, they’ve only allowed one goal in their three games this month, so double your chances and take a Minnesota win or a draw.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY @ COLORADO RAPIDS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (Soccer)

Sporting KC Over 1.5 Game Totals
-119

Sporting Kansas City’s win over Minnesota last week handed them a four-point advantage at the top of the Western Conference table. With only the first-placed team qualifying directly for the conference semifinals, Kansas City know they control their own destiny and just need to keep winning in order to maintain their position and obtain a tremendous advantage in the playoffs. They score more than any other team in the league, with 17 goals in their seven regular-season matches, and face a Colorado side that has given up more than two goals per game, on average, this season. Colorado allowed four second-half goals to Real Salt Lake on Saturday, their first game in a month, so match fitness looks to be an issue for them after having a 1-0 lead at halftime. Kansas City has scored twice in each of their first two games since returning from Orlando, and they should have no problem scoring multiple goals again. Bet on the away side to score at least twice.

SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES @ L.A. GALAXY PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (Soccer)

Draw Money Line
+280

It feels unusual to look at the MLS standings and see the LA Galaxy, the league’s most successful club in history, sitting in last place in the Western Conference with just five points. Still, the Galaxy are a better team than their record suggests: other than one blowout loss to crosstown rivals LACFC at the MLS is Back Tournament, their goal differential is an even zero in their other five games. San Jose also has a differential of zero, scoring and allowing ten goals in their five games. San Jose handily won both meetings between the two clubs last season, but the two teams appear to be much more evenly matched in 2020. The Galaxy’s new star Chicharito is nursing a calf injury, and may not be ready to play on Saturday, and without his experienced attack the two teams will be even closer to each other. This will undoubtedly be an exciting game between two high-scoring teams, but when all is said and done, don’t expect a winner and bet on a draw.

REAL SALT LAKE @ PORTLAND TIMBERS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (Soccer)

Portland Win Money Line
-112

After scoring just three goals in their first five games plus the first half of last week’s contest, Real Salt Lake exploded for four goals in the second half to defeat Colorado and, for the moment, occupy a playoff position in the Western Conference. That said, they’re not known to be a scoring team, and while every team can pull off an impressive attack once in a while, most aren’t able to do it week in and week out. Salt Lake will have a much tougher time against a Portland Timbers team that won the MLS is Back Tournament in Orlando. After a 3-0 loss to Seattle and a postponement, Portland is more eager than ever to return to the winning ways they demonstrated at the tournament last month. Depending on other results, a win for Portland could jump them as high as second place in the West, and they’re a team that is capable of scoring wins against any other squad in the league. Salt Lake don’t allow many goals, so this won’t be the highest-scoring affair, but Portland should be able to come away with three points.

UFC FIGHT NIGHT 175: MALLORY MARTIN VS. HANNAH CIFERS PREDICTIONS

Martin Win by Decision Fight Prop
-110

The first fight at UFC Fight Night 175 will see Hannah Cifers take on Mallory Martin. This will be a fight in the UFC Women’s Strawweight division. Cifers comes into this fight 10-6 in the MMA and just 2-4 in the UFC. This will be her fourth fight in 2020, in which she is 0-3 in the first three. She has been finished in all three fights as well, so to say she is struggling in an understatement. Cifers is averaging 4.68 significant strikes per minute, but only at an accuracy of 43%. Her main issue is the fact that she absorbs 5.64 strikes. Now her grappling has been what has gotten her in trouble recently. She averages 0.29 takedowns per every 15 minutes, but lands them at an accuracy of 100%. Her takedown defense is 66%, but in her last two fights, she lost by submission.

Martin is looking to bounce back from her UFC debut loss, which came in December of 2019, a submission loss to Virna Jandiroba. She is now 6-3 in the MMA. She is landing an average of 4.56 significant strikes per minute at 59% accuracy. She also is absorbing quite a few strikes per minute, 5.60, however she has never been knocked out.

I really cannot recommend laying this big of a price with Martin, but I also want no part of Cifers, who has looked terrible in her last couple of fights. Martin is about 50/50 on whether her fights end inside the distance or not, but I do not trust her here to get the finish. As a result, I will back Martin to win by decision.

UFC FIGHT NIGHT 175: POLYANA VIANA VS. EMILY WHITMIRE PREDICTIONS

Viana Win Money Line
+110

Money Line Pick
The second fight at UFC Fight Night 175 will see Polyana Viana take on Emily Whitmire. This will be a fight in the UFC Women’s Strawweight division. Viana is 10-4 in the MMA, but has struggled in the UFC, going 1-3 in her first four fights. She has actually lost three fights in a row after her UFC debut win back in February of 2018. Her striking has been average, landing about 3.89 significant strikes per minute at 41% accuracy. She does absorb 3.26 strikes as well. Her grappling has been good at times, averaging 1.29 takedowns per every 15 minutes. Though her takedown accuracy is only 37%. Note that Viana has finished all 10 of her wins, six by submission and four by TKO/KO.

Witmire is 4-3 in the MMA, but has gone a decent 2-2 in the UFC. She has not fought since June of 2019, losing by submission to Amanda Ribas. Her striking is a bit lacking, averaging just 2.84 significant strikes per minute at only 31% accuracy. She does not absorb all that much damage though, just 2.95 strikes per minute. Her grappling game has also been decent, averaging 1.18 takedowns per every 15 minutes. Her takedowns is 66% and her takedown defense is also 66%, so she is better than Viana in that regard.

This fight is one that feels too close and one I would probably look to stay away from. However, Viana’s submission ability makes me believe she can get back on track with a win. Despite having a solid takedown defense, I have not prevented Whitmire from losing twice in the UFC by this method. It would be a lean to Viana, but a very small one.

Brady Win by Decision Fight Prop
+140

The third fight at UFC Fight Night 175 will see Sean Brady take on Christian Aguilera. This will be a fight in the UFC Welterweight division. Brady is a perfect 12-0 to start his MMA career and is 2-0 in the UFC. His most recent fight was against Ismail Naurdiev, an unanimous decision win back in February of this year. Brady has excellent striking, landing an average of 5.53 significant strikes per minute at an accuracy of 55%. He is absorbing 4.8 strikes per minute, which could be a concern, but has not been a problem just yet. Brady also has terrific grappling skills, averaging 3.00 takedowns per every 15 minutes. He lands his takedowns with 50% accuracy, but defends takedowns at a 100% accuracy. Brady has won both his fights in the UFC by unanimous decision and will look to dominate this fight from the opening bell.

Christian Aguilera is fresh off his UFC debut win against Anthony Ivy, a fight where he knocked him out in the first round. This fight was in June of this year, so a quick turnaround here. Aguilera showed fantastic striking ability against Ivy, and is landing an average of 10.17 significant strikes, but only at 43% accuracy. He absorbs 4.07 strikes, so the damage could mount up if he is not careful.

Brady is a huge favorite here, which makes his money line unplayable. He does have much more of a balanced skill-set though as shown by his grappling, while Aguilera only looks to comfortable on his feet. I think Brady is going to continue his trend of dominating this opponent and will pick up a third straight decision win in the Octagon.

Di Chirico Win Money Line

Money Line Pick
The fifth fight on the preliminary card at UFC Fight Night 175 will see Alessio Di Chirico take on Zak Cummings. This will be a fight in the UFC Middleweight division. Cummings comes into this fight with an MMA record of 23-7. He is 8-4 in the UFC, but is coming off a loss by unanimous decision back in September of 2019. His striking really is not the best, averaging just 2.47 significant strikes per minute. The bigger issue is he lands these strikes at just 32%. At the very least, he does a good job at limiting damage, absorbing 2.75 strikes per minute and has never been knocked out in his career. As for grappling, he has four submission wins in thee UFC, though is only averaging 0.75 takedowns per every 15 minutes. Not only that, but his takedown accuracy is just 28%.

His opponent, Alessio Di Chirico, is 12-4 in the MMA, but just 3-4 in the UFC. He is coming off two straight losses, both by unanimous decision. Di Chirico has been a pretty good striker, averaging 3.20 significant strikes per minute at an accuracy of 42%. He absorbs a little bit more damage than his opponent, 3.22 strikes per minute, but has also never lost by TKO/KO. The difference with Di Chirico is he has a decent grappling game. He is averaging 1.95 takedowns per every 15 minutes, at an accuracy of 50%. His takedown defense is also 83%, so he should be able to keep this fight standing. This fight is extremely close, but because Di Chirico is a better striker, I think he will be able to control the fight and win here.

Kasanganay Win Money Line
-126

Money Line Pick
The featured preliminary at UFC Fight Night 175 will see Maki Pitolo take on Impa Kasanganay. This will be a fight in the UFC Middleweight division. Pitolo just fought at the beginning of August, which resulted in a loss to Darren Stewart. He is now 13-6 in the MMA and 1-2 in the UFC. We know Pitolo has pretty good striking, averaging 4.95 significant strikes per minute. Though his striking accuracy is only 45%, something he needs to work on. What has me more concerned is his inability to stop a takedown. His takedown defense is just 42% and we just saw what happened when the fight was brought to the ground in his most recent fight.

His opponent, Impa Kasanganay, is a perfect 7-0 in the MMA and will be making his UFC debut in this fight. The crazy thing is he just fought recently on Dana White’s Contender Series – Week 2, earned his UFC contract on the show and is now set to fight in the Octagon. Kasanganay has been a very balanced fighter, averaging 5.53 significant strikes per minute and landing them at an accuracy of 58%. He absorbs just 2.27 strikes per minute as well, so he knows how to limit the damage. Kasanganay can also fight on the ground, where he averages 2.50 takedowns per every 15 minutes at an accuracy of 100%.

Pitolo looked so bad against Stewart and I do not see him improving after just a few weeks of training camp. Look for Kasanganay to ride his momentum off his Contender Series fight into this fight and he will pick up a UFC debut win.

The first fight on the Main Card at UFC Fight Night 175 will see Magomed Ankalaev take on Ion Cutelaba. This will be a fight in the UFC Light Heavyweight division. It will also be a rematch from their last fight that took place in February of this year. Thirdly, it is a rescheduled fight from UFC 252 because Cutelaba had tested positive for Covid-19. Ankalaev won that fight within seconds after a controversial referee stoppage, so Cutelaba will be looking for revenge. Ankalaev is now 13-1 in the MMA and 4-1 in the UFC. He has won four fights in a row, with his only loss coming back in 2018. He will look to keep this fight standing, averaging 3.46 significant strikes per minute. He absorbs just 1.24 strikes, so his striking defense has looked elite thus far. His grappling game is lacking, but at the very least, he has a takedown defense of 85%.

Ion Cutelaba comes into this fight 15-5 in the MMA, but just 5-5 in the UFC. He is landing an average of 5.29 significant strikes per minute, but only at an accuracy of 39%. On the ground is where Cutelaba will want this fight as he is averaging 2.59 takedowns per every 15 minutes. His takedown accuracy is 71% and his takedown defense is 80%. While Ankalaev was starting to wobble Cutelaba in the first fight, it is not fair to give him full credit because the ref really did call the fight ridiculously early.

Despite the early stoppage, Ankalaev had Cutelaba on the ropes and could easily do the same again. Plus Cutelaba has just recovered from Covid-19, so his strength or energy for that matter might not be what it was. Because of this, I will back Ankalaev, but will take him to win by finish to reduce the juice.

The third fight at UFC Fight Night 175 will see Ji Yeon Kim take on Alexa Grasso. This will be a fight in the UFC Women’s Flyweight division. Grasso is the massive favorite here and comes in with an MMA record of 11-3. She is just 3-3 in the UFC after going win, loss etc over her first six fights in the Octagon. Her last fight was a loss to Carla Esparza by majority decision back in September of 2019. Grasso is certainly the type of fighter looking to keep this fight standing. She is averaging 5.25 significant strikes per minute, but absorbing just 3.61 strikes.

Her opponent, Ji Yeon Kim, enters 9-2-2 in the MMA and 3-2 in the UFC. She won her last fight by KO against Nadia Kassem back in October of 2019. Her striking is also very solid, averaging 4.49 significant strikes per minute. Though her striking accuracy is just 33% and she is absorbing a lot of damage, 4.74 strikes per minute.

This fight may be closer than expected but I still like Grasso here. Kim’s striking defense worries me too much and I do not see her being able to do enough damage. Five of Grasso’s six UFC fights have gone to the judges and four of Kim’s UFC fights have done the same. I think Grasso will control this fight through all three rounds and will win by decision to get back on track.

Money Line Pick
The Co-Main Event at UFC Fight Night 175 will see Robbie Lawler take on Neil Magny. This will be a fight in the UFC Welterweight division. Magny comes into this fight 23-7 with a UFC record of 16-6. He is currently riding a two-fight win streak and has also won four of his last five fights. He last fought at UFC 250, beat Anthony Rocco Martin by unanimous decision. Magny is pretty balanced fighter, averaging 3.95 significant strikes per minute and 2.55 takedowns per every 15 minutes. He does only have one win by submission in the UFC, so a stand-up fight is likely what Magny will want. Another impressive factor to take into consideration is Magny’s ability to limit the damage he takes. Absorbing just 2.17 strikes per minute, he does not get knocked out often.

His opponent, Robbie Lawler, is 28-14 in the MMA and 13-8 in the UFC. The biggest issue with Lawler is he seems to being coming to the end of his career and looks to be slowing down. He has lost three fights in a row and four of his last five. His most recent fight came against Colby Covington back in August of 2019. He was out-struck 179 to 78 in this fight and lost by unanimous decision. Lawler is averaging 3.57 significant strikes per minute, but is absorbing 4.16 strikes.

You really have to consider Lawler’s age and how he looked in that last fight. Overall, I think Magny will just be too much for the veteran and Magny will continue his quest for a chance at the title. Magny’s money line price is a little steep, but this looks to be a good parlay piece if you do not want to bet it straight up.

Fight to go the Distance - Yes Fight Prop
+170

The Main Event at UFC Fight Night 175 will see Anthony Smith take on Aleksandar Rakic. This will be a fight in the UFC Light Heavyweight division. Rakic comes in ranked as the #8 contender in the division and has an MMA record of 12-2. He is 4-1 in the UFC after suffering his first loss to Volkan Oezdemir by split decision back in December of 2019. Rakic relies heavily on his striking, averaging 5.17 significant strikes per minute. He absorbs just 2.47 strikes per minute and thus has never been knocked out. His grappling game is not the greatest, but he still does average 1.20 takedowns per every 15 minutes. The main issue here is his takedown accuracy is 28%. The good news is that his takedown defense is 88%, so it is highly unlikely he will be brought down.

His opponent, Anthony Smith is looking to rebound from a beating he took earlier this year in May to Glover Teixeira. Smith was absolutely dominated in this fight and was out-struck 138 to 86 before he finally was finished. That brings into question Smith’s cardio because he looked completely out of it during the entire fight. He is averaging 3.19 significant strikes per minute, but is absorbing 4.57 strikes.

A huge note to keep in mind is this is a rare three-round Main Event due to the original Main Event fighters withdrawing from this event some time ago. Smith may have been dominated by Teixeira, but it took him until the 5th round to be finished. This is definitely a scary play because Rakic has a ton of power, however Smith is known as ‘Lion Heart’ for a reason and I think he can tough it out for just three-rounds to see this one go to the scorecards.

Hard-throwing righty Carlos Carrasco (2-3 4.50 ERA) will take the mound for the Indians in this matchup. Carrasco is winless in his last three starts and has given up ten earned runs over his last 12 innings.

The St. Louis Cardinals have won seven of their first 13 home games and are three games back of Chicago in the NL Central Division race. On Friday, SP Daniel Ponce de Leon gave up four runs and failed to escape the first inning. OF Dexter Fowler provided the only offense for the Cardinals (11-12) with a two-run blast in the second inning.

The Cardinals will turn to talented right-hander Jack Flahery (2-0 1.98 ERA) in the middle game of this series. Last time out, Flaherty allowed just one hit over five shutout frames during a 9-3 home victory versus Kansas City.

TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING @ BOSTON BRUINS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (NHL)

TB Lightning Win Money Line
-115

Over 5.5 Game Totals
-115

Money Line Pick
What a performance it was for Tampa Bay in Game 2 as it literally could not be stopped. The Lightning just beat down the Bruins 7-1 and I am not sure if Boston is going to be able to recover. The Bruins looked completely lost and it was due to a fast start by the Lightning. They were already up 3-0 early in the second period an even though Brad Marchand scored a power-play goal to give the Bruins a small chance for the comeback, the Lightning just continued to pile on with their depth. The fact that they had six different players score should tell you how deep this team runs and how hard they are going to knock out. Tampa Bay goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy was dominant, although he really only had to make 23 saves because the Bruins did not put enough pressure in their attacking play. Also, consider the fact that the Lightning scored three power-play goals, which just showed us how clinical they could be. After seeing that Bruins team, I want no part of them, so I will continue to back the Lightning.

Over Under Pick
By the time the score was 4-1, the Bruins felt they had no choice but to switch out their goalies. Jaroslav Halak could not stop a shot to save his life and his replacement allowed three goals, as well. To be fair, Daniel Vladar had never played in a playoff game until game two, but it is not like his team helped him in any way. That leaves the question of who will start in goal for the Bruins in Game 3? Regardless of who Boston selects, neither guys gives me confidence in backing an under. And while the Lightning were so good defensively in game two, I do expect the Bruins’ attack to be much better here in what is almost a must win game. On the other side, the Lightning do not look to be slowing down, so I expect another very good game from them and will take the over in this spot as a lean.

PHILADELPHIA FLYERS @ NEW YORK ISLANDERS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (NHL)

NY Islanders Win Money Line
-110

Over 5.0 Game Totals
-110

Money Line Pick
The Islanders almost pulled off a miracle during Wednesday’s Game 2. After falling behind 3-0 in the first period, New York battled its way back to force overtime. However, Flyers defenseman Phillippe Myers’ shot ricocheted off the stick of Islanders winger Anders Lee to start the extra period, tying the series at one game apiece. Some could point to the Islanders’ comeback and believe their momentum will carry into Game 3, and we think that may end up being the case.

Sure, New York suddenly finds itself with a pseudo goalie controversy after replacing starter Semyon Varlamov with backup Thomas Greiss, who proceeded to stop 20 shots. An optimist would say that a refocused Varlamov or a motivated Greiss would be a good thing for the Islanders. Plus, New York was a dominant 5-1-1 on the second night of back-to-backs this past season, while Philly was 5-5-2. The Islanders have also dominated the Flyers recently, going 5-2 straight-up in the teams’ last seven meetings. The Islanders could easily be up 2-0 in this series and we think they’ll regain the series lead. We’re taking New York money line.

Over Under Pick
Sure, the Flyers have seen the total go under more often than not since returning from the NHL’s hiatus. However, we’re leaning towards the over on Wednesday. For starters, the O/U record is 9-2 over the Islanders’ and Flyers’ last 11 meetings. The Flyers also had a significant O/U discrepancy when playing on the road, going 23-15-1.

Plus, while the Islanders have a 5-4-2 O/U record since returning to play, four of the “under” or “push” results saw the teams combining for at least four scores. With a total of just 5.0, you can almost guarantee that these two teams will find a way to exceed it. If the Islanders end up rolling with their backup goaltender, even better. We’re taking the over.

VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS @ VANCOUVER CANUCKS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (NHL)

VGS Golden Knights Win Money Line
-210

Over 6.0 Game Totals
-115

Money Line Pick
I am not sure what to think after that Game 2, as the Canucks looked like a completely new team. Either that or Vegas played the worst game of the year. I really do not know how you go from winning 5-0 and looking like the Stanley Cup Champions to losing 5-2 and looking like they had never seen a puck before. Still, props to Jacob Markstrom for withstanding that Vegas attack this time around and making 38 saves on the night. Also, the Canucks were much more balanced this time around, having seen four different players score and Bo Horvat scoring twice.

As for Vegas, it clearly needs to regroup. The Golden Knights actually had one more shot than it did in Game 1, yet just could not convert. Now with a chance to retake control of this series, I expect a more focused effort. Obviously the Golden Knights are going to need a better effort from their goalie, who went from a shutout to allowing five goals. Even though Vegas came out flat in Game 2, the Golden Knights are still the better team and I will look for them to bounce back with a big win.

Over Under Pick
The over finally cashed just not in the way I would have expected. At the very least, Vancouver proved it can score on this Vegas defense and I would expect goals from the Canucks in Game 3 as well. Not five goals, but at least two is what I will be looking for. We already know Vegas can score, an even though it struggled offensively it does not make me trust the Canucks defense anymore. With a mad Vegas coming in for Game 3, I am going to back the over once again. Another lean, but clearly we cannot trust either defense so the over is my play.

MIN Twins Win Money Line
-185

Under Game Totals
+100

Money Line Pick
The Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers will play the first game of a double-header when they square off on Saturday afternoon in Detroit. Minnesota has not played since Wednesday, so it has had ample time to recover from consecutive losses to Cleveland. That marked the Twins’ first losing streak of any kind since Aug. 9 and they are still a stellar 20-12. The best news of all for Saturday’s purposes is that right-hander Randy Dobnak is taking the mound. Dobnak is 5-1 with a 1.78 ERA this season and he has earned the win in each of his past five starts. The Tigers, on the other hand, are 13-16 and starting a struggling pitcher. Left-hander Matthew Boyd is 0-4 with an 8.48 ERA, including a 9.16 mark through four appearances in August. He better watch out for Nelson Cruz, who is batting .315 with 11 home runs. Back the Twins and do so with confidence.

Over Under Pick
Cruz has been getting enough help for the Twins’ to be sporting a great record…but not much more than that. Josh Donaldson is still out, so their lineup is not in peak condition. The good news for Minnesota, of course, is that it’s hard to see Detroit’s offense doing much of anything. And in a seven-inning nightcap of a double-header, Dobnak could go the entire way without too much trouble. Lean toward the under.

ATLANTA BRAVES @ PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (MLB)

ATL Braves Win Money Line
+104

Over 10.5 Game Totals
-104

Money Line Pick
The Phillies’ four-game winning streak is on the line Saturday when Zach Eflin takes the ball to face the Braves for the second time in a week. Eflin’s last start on Sunday was far from perfect, allowing three runs and three walks in 5.1 innings, but he did manage to come away with a win. On Saturday, though, he’ll be facing a much more dangerous Atlanta lineup led by Ronald Acuna, who was activated from the injured list earlier this week. Acuna is 4-for-9 with a home run in his career against Eflin, and his energetic, youthful presence is exactly the type of player that can cool down a hot team like the Phillies. Veteran Josh Tomlin, a starter for most of his career in Cleveland, has been given a chance to start again after a season-plus as a fixture in the Atlanta bullpen. Tomlin’s pitch count is still being stretched out, but the Braves are hopeful he can deliver five solid innings before turning to the bullpen, which should outmatch that of the Phillies on any day. Go with the first-place Braves.

Over Under Pick
These two deep lineups combined for 11 runs in Friday’s game that featured a much stronger pitching matchup. Dansby Swanson, coming off an 0-for-5 game yesterday, has excellent career number s against Eflin and will look to put yesterday’s game out of his mind by breaking out against a pitcher he loves to hit against. Tomlin is also somewhat of a question mark at age 35 – it remains to be seen exactly how long he can last in a start without getting tired. The over hit yesterday, so bet on the same today.

CLEVELAND INDIANS @ ST. LOUIS CARDINALS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (MLB)

STL Cardinals Win Money Line
-120

Over 8.0 Game Totals
-105

Money Line Pick
After allowing an offensive explosion to the Indians on Friday night, the Cardinals turn to ace Jack Flaherty–and there’s no one they would rather have on the mound looking to bounce back. Flaherty has been the Cardinals’ most consistent pitcher over the past two-plus seasons, and he’s allowed just three runs in three starts this year, including 5.0 scoreless innings his last time out against the Royals. Flaherty’s pitch count continues to expand after he went almost a month without making a start due to the Cardinals’ coronavirus outbreak, and he should be good to go for 6.0 innings on Saturday. Indians starter Carlos Carrasco has struggled with his command so far in 2020, walking 15 in his 30 innings pitched. He managed to limit the walks to just one in his last start, but gave up seven hits without completing four innings, taking the loss against a weak Detroit lineup. Flaherty has excelled against many of these Cleveland hitters before, and expect him to do it again. Take the Cardinals.

Over Under Pick
Seven-inning games seem to be the new normal for the Cardinals, so take note that this Saturday they’re actually playing a traditional nine. With a run total as low as eight, there’s definitely more value on the over side. Carrasco has been inconsistent this year – when he improves one aspect of his game, another falls apart. Flaherty is definitely the better pitcher of the two currently, but with the Cardinals looking to push him further after his scoreless effort last time he could slip up for a couple innings. Go with the over.

TAMPA BAY RAYS @ MIAMI MARLINS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (MLB)

MIA Marlins Win Money Line
+100

Over 8.0 Game Totals
-120

Money Line Pick
Marlins starter Pablo Lopez had shown major flashes of potential through his first two years in the league, but he’s taken it to another level in 2020. The 24-year-old has allowed only six earned runs in 27.1 innings pitched (1.98 ERA), and he’s now 3-1 in five starts. He should have a good chance to keep that success rolling against a Rays offense that’s averaging only 3.6 runs per game over their last five contests. Plus, the last time Lopez faced his cross-state rivals he limited them to only one earned run on two hits and one walk in 6.0 innings pitched.

Rays starter Josh Fleming is an equally-exciting prospect, but the 24-year-old doesn’t have the MLB experience that his opponent has. Fleming’s first career start went okay (two earned runs in five innings pitched), but it’s worth noting that he got slapped around at AAA in 2019 (1-3, 5.14 ERA). The Rays’ bullpen will be there if Fleming ends up running into trouble, but at that point, it may be too late (considering who’s on the mound for the Marlins). We’re taking Miami money line.

Over Under Pick
Sure, Tampa Bay may stumble a bit against Lopez, but that doesn’t mean the team won’t be able to score. The Rays have a 16-13-3 O/U record in 2020, including a convincing 9-4-2 mark on the road and a 15-6 mark against right handed pitching. Further, the offense seems to turn it on when they play a National League opponent, as the total has gone over in 11 of their last 13 interleague games.

The Marlins see the total go over and under at about an even rate, but that hasn’t been the case recently. The total has gone over in eight of their last 11 games, and it’s gone over in four of their last five home games. Best of all, the Marlins’ offense seems to be heating up, as they’re averaging 5.5 runs per game over their last four contests (as compared to their season-long average of 4.46 runs per game). We’re taking the over.

LOS ANGELES DODGERS @ TEXAS RANGERS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS (MLB)

TEX Rangers Win +1.5 Run Line
-125

Under 8.5 Game Totals
-110

Run Line Pick
The second game of this series between the Dodgers and Rangers will see Ross Stripling take the mound for the Dodgers, while Lance Lynn will start for Texas. Stripling has certainly not had that great of a season, going 3-1 thus far, but posting an ERA of 5.46. He lasted just 4.0 innings in his most recent start, allowing two runs to the Rockies. What has been more concerning is the rate in which he allows home runs. Having already allowed 10 long balls over just 29.2 innings, it marks the most in the MLB. Maybe he can settle down now he is facing a lackluster Rangers’ offense, which does not always show much in terms of power.

Lynn has become the clear ace for this Texas team and I will be expecting a strong showing from him, even against the mighty Dodgers. As it stands, Lynn is 4-0 on the season with an ERA of 1.59. He allowed just two runs over 6.0 innings in his most recent start against the Athletics, so he has shown the ability to shutdown good offenses. Lynn has been fairly decent against the Dodgers during the course of his career, and is 3-1 with a 3.69 ERA against them. Because Lynn is the pitcher for Texas, I believe they are going to hang around in this game. Stripling is way too inconsistent to back as such a high price, so I will elect to take the Rangers on the run line.

Over Under Pick
Even with Lynn on the mound, it is hard to look to an under here because the Dodgers have much too good of an offense. Remember, Los Angeles is not starting its best pitcher by any means, so it is hard to trust he can put together a decent outing. Though the Texas offense has been dreadful this season, so we still cannot trust them to carry their weight over the course of a full game. In this situation, I am going to trust that Lynn can keep the Dodgers in check, while Stripling will be good enough to contain the Rangers. This is more than likely a total to stay away from, but it would be a lean to the under because I just do not see Texas generating enough runs.

MIL Brewers Win Money Line

Under 9.0 Game Totals
-105

Money Line Pick
The Brewers bounced back big time to open their series with Pittsburgh on Friday, easily winning to halt their losing streak. They will now turn to Brett Anderson to try to win the series against the Pirates. Anderson is 2-2 on the year, having a posted a respectable ERA of 3.52. He is coming off two wins in a row, both that saw him pitch 6.0 innings, while allowing a combined three runs.

JT Brubaker will be the starter for Pittsburgh; he has yet to earn a decision but has an ERA of 4.80. His last start was his longest of the season, still lasting only 4.0 innings against this Brewers team. Seeing what the Brewers did to the Pirates on Friday, I think we will see another emotional effort and they will win this game against a below average pitcher.

Over Under Pick
The Brewers basically did all the work on Friday and I am not sure if that will be any different on Saturday. Brubaker did prove he can have a decent outing, but he just needs to try and go deeper into the game. Anderson, on the other hand, has looked to have turned a corner and I believe he will be able to continue his quality start streak by limiting a poor Pirates offense. It really will come down to what the Brewers are going to be able to do offensively, but I look for the under to be the play here.

BOS Red Sox Win Money Line
-105

Over 11.5 Game Totals
-110

Money Line Pick
The Nationals have lost three in a row heading into Friday night action at Boston. Both of these teams have been disappointments this season but things are tighter in the NL East so the Nats could get back into the race if they put together a good week. Juan Soto has been a monster, hitting .380, but the rest of the lineup has been spotty. With the pitching not holding up it has been tough for them to win. Anibal Sanchez has been among the guilty parties. He is bringing an ERA over six and just one win into this one. Boston’s pitching has been even worse; it is dead last in the league in ERA. That was somewhat to be expected though given injuries, still I don’t think anyone though the Sox would be this bad. Chris Mazza is going to make his second start and in his first, he was hammered by the Yankees. Washington is not nearly as deep, though. Amazingly Boston is just 6-11 at home this season. This one seems pretty balanced so let’s lean to the home team. Take Boston.

Over Under Pick
Even though Boston’s pitching has been terrible all season, it has not been an over team–just 11-18-2 O/U. Part of that is their hitting has underperformed but probably also some inflated lines from being such a public team, too. I still trust Fenway Park though. You put a couple of pitchers in there who are hardly dominant and we should see some runs. Boston will even up those numbers as the season progresses. Take the over.

CIN Reds - Game 2 Win Money Line
-120

Over 7.0 Game Totals
-105

Money Line Pick
This is the second game of a double-header so you might want to watch the first to see if any injuries/availabilities change. The Cubs have a solid lead in the NL Central coming into the weekend and have been better on the road than at home (8-4). Starter Alec Mills has not been great this season but slots in pretty well as a No. 4 starter. He is coming off his longest outing of the season, 7.0 innings at Detroit. His splits are also better on the road so taking on a sluggish Reds team looks like it could be a really good spot. The Reds are using ace Trevor Bauer in the first game and Tejay Antone in game two. Just a rookie, Antone has put up impressive strikeout numbers and even made one start at Cleveland. He is a reliever, though, so he is unlikely to go deep into this shortened game. I do expect him to pitch well though. The Cubs saw him in relief in his MLB debut and they could not do much against him back in July. He will need some offensive help to get his first MLB win, though. That is the challenge the Reds have been having all season. They are fifth in homers with Nick Castellanos leading the way. They put a charge into some balls and score just enough to win. Take Cincinnati.

Over Under Pick
Even though we are getting a lot more double-headers this season it is hard to forecast just how they are going to create betting opportunities. In the past, they have not shortened games and sometimes we are getting day-night events so the energy factor is harder to calculate. We also have expanded rosters to player availability is not as much of a thing. For this one I am leaning to the over with a thought to the best relievers, not all being available, beginning with Antone being used to start. The starters will be alright but both teams will score some runs late. Take the over.

ARI Diamondbacks Win Money Line
-135

Money Line Pick
I am still a little surprised that the Giants have been able to compete this season. Even though they got shutout in back to back games by the Dodgers during the week their offense has actually been solid this season. Wilmer Flores is a surprise leader in homers but it has been working. Also surprising has been starter Trevor Cahill. He had a good start to his career across the bay in Oakland but not much success since. He is building up arm strength and looking better and better with each start. He is playable in this spot. Luke Weaver will get the ball for Arizona and after a tough start, he appears to be back to his old effective self. In fact, he pitched pretty well in his last outing, which was against San Francisco, and a loss. Arizona’s outfield has been one of the most productive in the game this season with Kole Calhoun, and Starling and Ketel Marte. If Weaver is good again I think they can create enough offense to get the win at home.

Take Arizona.

Over Under Pick
I am leaning more to Cahill to correlate with the result above but I think one of these pitchers gets hit hard in this one. Chase Field can be a bit of a launching pad and I am looking for the home side to have success similar to the way they did in a 7-4 win on Friday night. Starling Marte and Calhoun actually had the night off last night so they will be fresh and ready to rip for this one.

Take the over.

COL Rockies Win Money Line
+105

Over 12.5 Game Totals
-120

Money Line Pick
The Colorado Rockies will host the San Diego Padres here, with Antonio Senzatela on the mound for Colorado and Adrian Morejon starting for San Diego. The Rockies started the year off on fire, then cooled significantly, then started to heat up again this past week with a sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks. San Diego has been a nice story this season, but I’m rolling with Colorado mostly due to its edge on the mound. The Padres will be starting a 21-year-old with only seven career big league appearances under his belt, and he has an 8.53 ERA in those appearances. This Colorado lineup has a ton of pop in it with guys like Nolan Arenado, Trevor story, and Charlie Blackmon, so I think they should have a field day. Senzatela has been solid this season with a 3.96 ERA, and in his one start against San Diego this year he gave up only four hits and one run in six innings of work. Take Colorado.

Over Under Pick
The over also makes a lot of sense here. Colorado’s lineup has been heating up again recently, and I don’t see any way they don’t score at least a handful of runs off San Diego’s inexperienced starter here at home. Any 21 year old is going to have a tough time with this Rockies lineup, especially with the unfamiliar terrain of Coors Field which is very difficult to navigate even for veteran pitchers. Senzatela has been far from flawless himself, giving up at least five earned runs in two of his past three starts. This Padres’ offense has a ton of upside, and they’ve been taking the league by storm recently thanks mostly to emerging superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. This one should be very high-scoring.

SEA Mariners Win Money Line

Over 8.5 Game Totals
+100

Money Line Pick
The Los Angeles Angels and Seattle Mariners will play the second game of their four-game set here. We will have two youngsters on the mound, as Griffin Canning starts for the Angels while Justus Sheffield takes the hill for Seattle. Sheffield has been far more effective recently, and as such I’m rolling with Seattle here at a great price. The former top prospect understandably struggled in his first couple of starts this year as he shook off the rust, but he has been excellent ever since. Over his last three starts he has given up only two total earned runs, and those were against very good Rangers, Astros, and Rockies lineups. Canning on the other hand has given up at least six hits and at least three earned runs in each of his last three outings. The Angels have been arguably the biggest disappointment in all of baseball, as all of their star power could only produce a record of 10-22 through their first 32 games. Things have been particularly bad for them recently, while the Mariners have quietly won five of their past six entering Friday.

Over Under Pick
I am also playing the over in this spot. Seattle’s offense has really come alive the past couple weeks, with at least seven runs scored in five of their last six games. Considering two of those games were only seven inning doubleheaders, it’s even more impressive. Now they will get to face Canning, who was only made it deeper than 4.2 innings in one of his six starts this season. That means we should see a lot of this mediocre Angels bullpen. Seattle’s bullpen is one of the worst in the league, and this Los Angeles lineup still has a ton of talent with guys like Mike Trout, Shoehei Ohtani, and Anthony Rendon. Expect fireworks.

# 3 TIZ MAGIC 10/1

# 8 ALBERTA SUN 7/2

# 10 ANXIOLYTICS 6/1

My pick in this event is TIZ MAGIC and is a respectable value bet given the line at 10/1. Has to be considered against this group displaying very good numbers lately and an average speed rating of 56 under similar conditions. She ought to be carefully examined given the decent speed figures. The average Equibase class figure alone makes this one a solid choice. ALBERTA SUN - Must be carefully examined based on the very good Equibase Speed Figure earned in the last race. The winning percentage shown by horses entered by Diodoro running at this distance are the most respectable in this group. ANXIOLYTICS - Asmussen and Elliott have a good win percentage together. The winning percentage shown by horses entered by Asmussen running at this distance are the strongest in this field.

#7 HENRYS GIRL (ML=5/1)

HENRYS GIRL - Roman and Candelas partnered together are a horseplayer's friend. Looking at today's class rating, this thoroughbred is meeting an easier field than last out at Arlington. Trying to be a first time winner moving from a grass race to the dirt. I think Candelas will have her in good shape for today's event.

Vulnerable Contenders: #4 COLUMBIA CLIPPER (ML=3/1), #1 NO PASSING ZONE (ML=7/2), #2 SLOANER (ML=4/1),

COLUMBIA CLIPPER - This favorite probably needs at least one race to get back into shape. Skip her today. NO PASSING ZONE - Hasn't finished in the money in any short distance races lately. Not likely to see her doing it this time around either. Hasn't been getting close at all of late. The speed fig last time around the track doesn't fit very well in this clash when I look at the class figure of today's race. Mark this horse as a likely underlay. SLOANER - She showed not much at all in the last race. Today's race is 6 furlongs. Hasn't hit the board in a sprint race in the last couple months. Not the greatest of signs.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:

Bet on #7 HENRYS GIRL to win if you can get at least 1/1 odds

# 6 ITGOT GRANDMA 5/2

# 8 THE IRON BANK 12/1

I give my vote to ITGOT GRANDMA here. Has to be given a shot here on the basis of the figures in the speed section alone. Handler has strong win rate (24 percent) at this distance and surface. Had one of the most favorable speed figs of this group in his last competition. LOOKS GOOD - Could beat this group of animals given the 84 speed figure earned in his last outing. With Hiraldo getting the mount, watch out for this horse. THE IRON BANK - Exhibits the look of a profitable play, averaging a solid 70 Equibase Speed Fig which is one of the top in this group of horses. With a sound ROI of +85 this trainer has shown solid results with entries running at this distance and surface.

#7 FULMINI (ML=9/5)
#3 HALL RICH LEGACY (ML=20/1)
#1 HOT BLOODED (ML=7/2)

FULMINI - This rider/trainer duo has been producing a very positive ROI, right at +39. Zayas comes to ride again after getting to know the colt in the last affair. This horse earns a lot of money per race. I believe he can augment the lifetime earnings today. HALL RICH LEGACY - My handicapping intuition tells me to watch out for this horse in this contest HOT BLOODED - This horse could be tough this time, especially since Jaramillo rode last race out and now should be familiar with this one. David is strong in turf routes. This animal should have no justifications if he doesn't win. This jockey/handler duo has been producing a very beneficial ROI, right at +100. You have to consider this magnificent animal in your gambling today. He is racing on turf for the first time and his trainer does well switching from dirt to turf.

Vulnerable Contenders: #8 BOCA BOY (ML=4/1), #9 CASTLE KING (ML=6/1),

BOCA BOY - When examining today's Equibase class figure, he will have to register a better speed rating than in the last race to be competitive in this turf route. CASTLE KING - Improbable that the fig he recorded on August 9th will hold up in this race.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:

Have to go with #3 HALL RICH LEGACY on the win end if we get at least 7/1 odds

MLB | Twins vs Tigers
Play on: Twins -154 at 5Dimes

My free play is on the Min Twins at 1:10 ET (Game 1).
The Cleveland Indians won THREE straight AL Central titles from 2016-18 but despite winning 90-plus games for the fourth consecutive season in 2019, the Indians' 93 wins left them EIGHT games behind the 101-61 Twins. Minnesota won the AL Central in 2019, finishing 101-61. It was the franchise's first 100-win season since 1965, a year the Twins lost a seven-game World Series to Sandy Koufax and the LA Dodgers. Minnesota's lineup scored the second-highest run total in the majors (939), while leading all teams in HRs (307 represented a major league record!) and RBI.
In stark contrast to Minnesota's 2019 season, the Detroit Tigers were a MLB-worst 47-114 in 2019. Minnesota opened the 2020 season 10-2 but has gone just 10-10 its last 20 games. The Twins' 20-12 now leaves them tied in the AL Central with Indians, who just took two of three from the Twins in Cleveland Mon-Wed (note: White Sox are also 20-12). Detroit surprised by opening the current season 9-5 but the Tigers then lost NINE in a row from Aug 11-20. Detroit is currently 13-16, 5 1/2 games back of Minnesota, Cleveland and Chicago.
The scheduled series opener at Detroit's Comerica Park on Thursday was postponed after the teams decided not to play as a protest to the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wi. However, the four-game series remained intact, as an agreement was later reached to reschedule the game as part of a doubleheader on Friday. Nice try. Friday's doubleheader was rained out.
The scheduled starting pitchers for Thursday will get the nod here in Game 1, again. Randy Dobnak (5-1, 1.78 ERA) for the Twins and Matthew Boyd (0-4, 8.48 ERA) for the Tigers. Dobnak is one of the "Feel-Good" stories of MLB 2020. Just three years removed from pitching for the Utica (MI) Unicorns of the United Shore Professional Baseball League, Dobnak has become one of the majors' most effective starters. He has not allowed more than two runs in any of his first six starts, posting a 1.07 WHIP and a .218 BAA to go along with his sub-.200 ERA. Boyd was considered one of the mainstays of a poor Detroit starting rotation and he sure hasn't even met the lowest of expectations. He's still looking for his first win in his SEVENTH start of 2020 (Tigers are 2-4) and to go along with his 'ugly' 8.48 ERA, he owns a 1.74 WHIP and .317 BAA.
I'll back 'Cinderella' in this one. That's Dobnak, if anyone confused.
Good luck...Larry

The Key: The Oakland A’s (22-10) look like legitimate World Series contenders this season. The Houston Astros (17-14) are no longer the juggernauts they were before now that they’re not cheating, and plus they have lost their top 2 starters from last year in Cole and Verlander. The A’s have a huge edge on the rubber in this matchup. Chris Bassitt is 2-1 with a 2.97 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 6 starts this year for Oakland. Bassitt is also 2-1 with a 3.68 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 6 lifetime starts against Houston. Lance McCullers is 2-2 with a 5.74 ERA in 6 starts this year for the Astros.

NBA | Thunder vs Rockets
Play on: Rockets -4½ -108 at pinnacle

Take the Houston Rockets minus the points versus the Oklahoma Thunder. Oklahoma City (46-30) has evened this series at 2-2 with their 117-114 upset win over the Rockets on Monday as a 3-point underdog. But the Thunder have failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after a straight-up win. Oklahoma City has also failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after a point spread victory. Houston (46-30) has only covered the point spread twice in their last seven games — but they have covered the point spread in 10 of their last 14 games after failing to cover the point spread in five or six of their last seven games. And in their last 18 games when they were playing with at least double-revenge, the Rockets have covered the point spread 14 times. Finally, Houston gets Russell Westbrook back for this game after he has missed the first four games in this series with his quad energy — so his return will be a shot of energy for this team. Lay the points with Houston. Best of luck — Frank.

MLB | Dodgers vs Rangers
Play on: Rangers +142 at YouWager

PICK - Texas Rangers +142
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 968
The Rangers cashed as a +210 dog in Friday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers. Looking back, should have seen that being a prime spot to fade LA.
Dodgers were in a tough spot. They had just played a double-header on the road against rival San Francisco Thursday. They had to follow up that long day on the field with a flight to Texas. Add in all the protest stuff and I just think this team was mentally and physically gassed.
I could definitely see that lingering on to today's game, which is why I'll gladly back the Rangers at this price with Lance Lynn on the mound.
Lynn has been one of the best pitchers in this shortened 2020 campaign. He' s got the 3rd best ERA in the majors at 1.59 and the 5th best WHIP at 0.86. Rangers are 5-2 in his 7 starts, including a perfect 4-0 at home.
Dodgers will counter with the struggling Ross Stripling, who has a 5.46 ERA and 1.416 WHIP in 6 starts. He's also not trending in the right direction with a 7.71 ERA and 2.057 WHIP in his last 3 starts. Give me the Rangers +142!

Jack’s Free Pick Saturday: Texas Rangers +140
The Texas Rangers have been a good bet at home this season, especially with ace Lance Lynn on the mound. I’ve cashed on him a number of times already in 2020 and I’ll continue to ride him until he gets the respect he deserves.
Lynn is 4-0 with a 1.59 ERA and 0.860 WHIP in seven starts this season, including 3-0 with a 1.57 ERA and 1.000 WHIP in four home starts. The Rangers are 4-0 (+4.4 units) in his four home starts this season.
No question the Rangers have the advantage on the mound here with Lynn over Ross Stripling, who is 3-1 with a 3.46 ERA and 1.416 WHIP in six starts this season. Stripling is also 0-1 with a 7.71 ERA and 2.057 WHIP in his last three starts.
Lynn is 4-1 with a 3.58 ERA in nine career starts against the Dodgers. Texas is a very profitable 19-17 (+13.7 units) as a home underdog of +125 or more over the last two seasons. Bet the Rangers Saturday.

The Pirates (+156) are worth a look as a big road dog in Saturday's NL Central matchup with the Brewers. Pittsburgh lost the series opener 9-1 on Friday, but are still a very respectable 5-3 over their last 8 games.
With the win Milwaukee is only 3-6 in their last 9. They scored 9 runs on Friday, but only managed 8 hits. They haven't had double-digit hits in a game since 8/19.
Brett Anderson will start for Milwaukee and is coming off two strong starts. However, he's just 9-20 over his last 29 starts when he's at home and coming off two straight starts where he allowed 2 or fewer runs. Play the Pirates +156!

PADRES VS ROCKIES FREE PICK AUGUST 29, 2020
The Colorado Rockies and the San Diego Padres combined for 14 runs in the opener of this series on Friday. I expect to see another high-scoring affair in this one.
Colorado right-hander Antonio Senzatela (3-1, 3.96 ERA) was lit up for six runs on seven hits (four homers) in an 11-3 loss at Dodger Stadium last time out. Returning home to Coors Field might not be what he needs to regain his confidence as he has posted a 4.50 ERA in two home starts on the season and the Padres are hitting .257(6th) off right-handers.
San Diego left-hander Adrian Morejon (0-0, 5.79 ERA) has made just two starts for a total of 4 2/3 innings. Last time out, Morejon gave up three runs in 1 2/3 innings against Houston. This looks like a tough spot for the 21-year-old as Colorado is hitting a solid .278 (7th) off southpaws on the season.
Over is 5-1 in Rockies last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter. Over is 4-0 in Padres last 4 overall.

It's been a few days since the Bucks decided to make their stand and boycott their Wednesday afternoon potential close out game against the Orlando Magic.

When last we left this series, Milwaukee had dropped the opening game in a stunner, but quickly rebounded to win and cover each of the next three games in the series.

Today I like the Bucks to finish off the injured Magic and move on to the conference semifinals.

Milwaukee's wins in this series have come by 15, 14 and 15 points, as they have held Orlando to an average of 103 points per game.

It has been difficult for the undermanned Magic to contend with Giannis in the paint, as evidenced by his 12-of-14 performance in the last game the teams played back on Monday.

The Greek Freak now has scored at least 25 points, recorded at least 10 rebounds and has also dished out at least 5 assists in all 4 of the games played so far.

The motivation is there today for Milwaukee to put the hammer down on Orlando, so go ahead and lay it with the Bucks on Saturday afternoon.

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

After springing 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.

With Liliard now sidelined, the price on this game has shot from 7 points to right about 14 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.

My complimentary winner for Saturday is on the Chicago White Sox against the Kansas City Royals. We're playing this on the run line, and it shouldn't be too big of an issue, as we're talking about the best offensive team vs. one of the worst teams in baseball.

Since every MLB wager on a run line or total auto-lists pitchers, I want you to be sure the two pitchers on your ticket, when making this play, are Brady Singer and Dylan Cease. If they are not the pitchers of record when making your play, disregard this play.

Let's start with Singer, who has struggled with his command and hasn't been what the Royals had hoped, as the rookie brings a 1-3 mark and 5.16 ERA into this game.

The first-place White Sox (20-12) are deadlocked with the Cleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins - all with identical records. But the White Sox have won nine of 10, and have that lethal lineup that leads the league with a .271 batting average and has scored a league fifth-best 165 runs. That won't bode well for young Singer, who will face this lineup for the first time.

You're better off backing Cease, who has a 4-1 mark with a 2.15 ERA over five August starts.

ChiSox roll.

Rolling into this one on a 16-7 run with complimentary MLB plays.

And for Saturday, the complimentary winner is on the Cincinnati Reds against the Chicago Cubs in National League Central play.

While the Cubs reside in first place in the division, they've also lost three straight and are now 6-5 on the road. The second-place St. Louis Cardinals have also lost three, and that leaves room for the Reds, who are tied with the Milwaukee Brewers in third place.

The Reds have won three in a row and can pull to .500 at home with a win today, as they're 6-7 at home.

We're playing the Reds in Game 1 of this DH, as I think they need to win this game to seize momentum for the day. It's a huge pitchers' duel between Chicago's Yu Darvish and Cincy's Trevor Bauer. But I like Bauer, who will be hungry to avenge his first loss of the season on Monday. He is still 3-1 with a 1.65 ERA on the year, and considering this is a game vs. the first-place Cubs, he'll have his best stuff working.

I'm confident he'll get the run support he'll need, as Darvish went 1-2 with a 4.60 ERA in five starts against Cincinncati last year.

Take the Reds in Game 1 of the DH.

Saturday's freebie is on the ice as I go with this Flyers-Islanders game to land Under the total.

On Monday the Islanders drew first blood, winning 4-0 in a game that held Under the total.

The Flyers came back in Game Two and clawed out a 4-3 win in overtime in a rare game that landed Over the total for both teams.

After a few days on pause, I expect both teams goalies to be rested and recharged as they stop more than they let in.

For the Flyers, the Under is 5-2-1 for their last 8 games as Philadelphia is now 11-2-1 Under the total dating back to March 4th.

For the Islanders, the Under is 3-1-1 in their last 5 postseason contests.

Goals have been hard to come by for Philadelphia this postseason and with Varmalov having a few extra days to shake off his shaky Game Two I have a feeling the goals are going to be hard to net tonight in Game Three.

Under in the Flyers-Islanders for Saturday.

Jeff Siegel's Saratoga/Del Mar Wagering Strategies - 8/29/20 August 29, 2020

Jeff Siegel’s Daily Analysis & Wagering Strategies
Saratoga/Del Mar
Saturday, August 29, 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.

*
Del Mar Best Plays:

Del Mar 5th race – Post Time: 4:10 PT
5 – Fierce for Sul (5/2)

This blazingly quick filly set sizzling splits before being worn down late by next-out winner Secret Keeper while well clear of the rest in a promising debut performance at Santa Anita in May. She’s been entered twice and scratched since then, but the daughter of Speightstown has looked very sharp of late while breezing without blinkers while appearing sharp and relaxed. Bred for grass on both sides, the B. Baffert-trained sophomore should excel at this abbreviated sprint trip, so at 5/2 on the morning line she’s a win play and rolling exotic single.

*
Del Mar 6th race – Post Time: 4:40 PT
6 – Vittorio (2-1)

Promising juvenile colt lost all chance at the start in his debut earlier this month and then displayed excellent mid-race speed while wide to enter contention into the lane before racing greenly and then coasting home to finish fifth, beaten eighth lengths in a hot race for maiden 2-year-olds. This highly-regarded son of Ghostzapper should be much more professional today with that bit of experience behind him, so if leaves with his field he can be expected to make short work of his rivals and then go on to bigger and better things. He’s win play and rolling exotic single at or near his morning line of 2-1.

*
Del Mar 7th race – Post Time: 5:10 PT
1 – Beguiled (6-1)

This P. D’Amato-trained filly was victimized by a brutal trip in a similar one mile grass event here three weeks ago and wound up fourth beaten a half-length after being blocked badly throughout most of the stretch and then getting clear too late to make up the needed ground. She galloped out in front of the pack to indicate she was best, so today, with the switch to the A Cedillo and from the rail post position, the daughter of Orb needs only to find room to run to handle this task. There’s plenty of value here at her morning line of 6-1 if you can get it.

*
Del Mar 9th race – Post Time: 6:10 PT
3 – One Bad Boy (4-1)

The 2019 Queen’s Plate winner makes his first start in more than a year and has trained like he’s returning better than he left while dropping into this second-level allowance grass event for a trainer that has off-the-charts statistics with layoff runners. The high-class son of Twirling Candy won his only prior grass start all by himself and his comeback workouts have been extraordinary. Drawn comfortably inside and with the kind of tactical speed that should place him a good pace-stalking position, the R. Baltas-trained 4-year-old is generously listed at 4-1 on the morning line.

*
Del Mar 10th race – Post Time: 6:38 PT
5 – C Z Rocket (4-1)

The veteran gelding is vastly improved since being claimed by red-hot trainer P. Miller last spring and is a perfect three-for-three for his new connections with a trio of fast, highly-rated victories against lesser foes in the Midwest. He’s tackling Grade 2 company today but should be up to the task at this seven furlong distance that is ideal for his second flight, stalking-style. With F. Prat pick up the mount and with a nice easy breeze over the track to have him on edge, the son of City Zip appears capable of wearing down the leaders late while offering good wagering value at 4-1 on the morning line.

Saratoga Analysis and Wagering Strategies:

RACE 1: Post 1:10 ET. Grade: B-
Use: 6-Happy Sophia; 7-Enough Love

Forecast: Handicappers are at the mercy of a wet/sloppy/muddy surface that some horses will love and others will flounder over. Enough Love finished a willing runner-up in a slightly tougher spot here last month while earning a career top speed figure and a repeat of that effort in this restricted (nw-2) $16,000 sprint for fillies and mares should be good enough. She’s late-running sprinter and a perfect one-for-one at this six and one-half furlong trip. Let’s hope she handles the wet track. Happy Sophia plummets in class in her first outing for a tag and may have found her friends. Very competitive in this league based strictly on speed figures, the Flat Out filly projects as a strong pace presence and could get very brave if she can shake loose early. These are the two we’ll be using in rolling exotic play with perhaps a very slight edge on top to Enough Love.
*
*
RACE 2: Post 1:43 ET. Grade: C+
Use: 1-I Love Jaxson; 10-Wn Wye Cee

Forecast: This race has been transferred to the (sloppy) main track and will be contested at a mile and one-eighth. MTO entrant I Love Jackson has a history of handling a wet surface, exits a series of strong races, and projects to enjoy a comfortable second flight, ground-saving trip and have his chance to wear down the leaders in the lane. En Wye Cee returned off a long layoff and earned a career top speed figure when missing by a neck at this level on grass earlier this month. If he builds on that performance today – and handles the off track – he’ll be the one to beat. Tread lightly here.
*
*
RACE 3: Post 2:18 ET. Grade: B+
Use: 1-Vanzzy; 4-L’Imperator; 5-Don Juan Kitten

Forecast: L’Imperator was a three-time winner over soft ground in France in good company while racing in the provinces and though making his first start since March the French-bred colt has worked like he’s fit and ready for C. Brown. The son of Holly Roman Emperor might be more effective at a long distance but he did graduate at this one mile trip and should be able to settle within range and then kick home when asked. The bulk of our action will go to this highly-promising import, but for protection we’ll also include on a back-up ticket Vanzzy and Don Juan Kitten. The former represents dangerous inside speed and comes off a nice score in the Jersey Derby at Monmouth Park while the latter is a lightly-raced and improving Kitten’s Joy colt fresh from a career-top score here from first-level allowance company here last month and could easily be this good.
*
*
RACE 4: Post 2:51 ET. Grade: B
Use: 1a-Tied Up; 2-Bustin Please

Forecast: The fourth race is a better-than-par extended sprint for $20,000 claiming fillies and mares. Tied Up looked quite sharp winning a $12,500 affair two weeks ago and is double-jumped in class by a barn that has terrific stats with repeat winners. Though relatively cheap on paper, the daughter of Even the Score has compiled a remarkable record of 12 wins from 23 starts (with five seconds and thirds). Additionally, she’s a perfect two-for-two at this six and one-half furlong trip, and an off-track freak (five wins in eight starts). Bustin to Please is another win machine, having won six of 12 lifetime outings. Today she drops below her claim level for the money run after being pitched a tad too high when unplaced in a state-bred optional $40,000 affair last month. Most effective on or near the lead, she needs to break cleanly from the rail and if she’s able to establish the running inside she could be hard to run down. Both should be included in rolling exotic play.
*
*
RACE 5: Post 3:24 ET. Grade: B-
Use: 1-Letmetakethiscall; 2-My Roxy Girl; 4-Archumybaby

Forecast: Archumybaby, a real pro (14 career wins) and fresh from a game win for $25,000 here earlier this month, is protected on the raise by new trainer R. Rodriguez, retains her favorite pilot L. Saez, and seems capable of paying a quick dividend for her new connections in this state-bred second level allowance optional claiming ($40,000) extended sprint. Never worse than second in six career starts (with four victories) at this exact seven furlong trip and a three-time winner on an off track, the daughter of Archarcharch has an ideal stalking style and should be able to wear down the leaders when it counts. Letmetakethiscall lands the rail and seems certain to be sent from the gate to establish the pace. Always dangerous when she can shake loose early, the L. Rice-trained mare doesn’t figure to have much pressure during the early stages so if she can get away with a comfortable opening quarter and half, she may never look back. My Roxy Girl, first or second in 19 of 39 career starts (and in the frame in seven of eight wet track outings), is a dependable sort that could improve with today’s extra furlong to work with. She figures for at least a piece of it. All three should be included in rolling exotic play.
*
*
RACE 6: Post 3:57 ET. Grade:
Use: 1-Newcomb; 4-Highly Motivated

Forecast: This maiden special weight sprint for juveniles is comprised entirely of first-time starters. Newbomb has trained like a quick colt for T. Pletcher, and as a son of Speightstown from the dam of graded stakes winner My Happy Face he looks very much like a win-early type. With a clean break from his rail draw, this $155,000 Fasig-Tipton fall yearling purchase should find himself on or near the lead throughout. Highly Motivated is another very promising newcomer with every right to run to his pedigree and good works. The son of Into Mischief was produced by Strong Incentive, a stakes-winner in her one and only start in Canada and brought $240,000 as a weanling at Keeneland. The local works have been strong for C. Brown and should have this colt plenty fit and ready. Let’s try to survive and advanced using just these two in rolling exotic play.
*
*
RACE 7: Post 4:32 ET. Grade: X
Use: 2-Yaupon; 3-Long Weekend

Forecast: Long Weekend projects as a strong favorite in this year’s renewal of the Amsterdam’s S.-G2 , though he’s perhaps a little less trustworthy after failing at 20 cents on the dollar in the listed Gold Fever S. at Belmont Park last month. The track was listed as sloppy for that race, perhaps giving him a legitimate excuse, but faces a similar very wet surface today based on the weather forecasts. Also, his only truly poor run in his career was here last year when he was a fading sixth in the Saratoga Special S. despite being well-backed on the tote. Finally, this will be his sixth different rider in his seven-race career. Yaupon earned a giant speed figure when beating first level allowance runners over this track and distance and last month and takes on much tougher and more experienced foes today. Unbeaten in two starts with the kind of early speed that could find him on the lead today, the son of Majesticperfection retains J. Rosario and shows a healthy series of recent workouts to indicate another forward move is likely. In a race that we’ll otherwise pass, both should be included in rolling exotic play.
*
*
RACE 8: Post 5:07 ET. Grade: B
Use: 2-Whitmore; 6-Complexity; 10-Mind Control; 11-Fortin Hill

Forecast: The Forego S.-G1, the premiere sprint stakes at the Saratoga meeting, came up very competitive while lacking a true star, so there’s a good chance a nice price in this seven furlong affair. Complexity, not normally a front-runner, catches a field with very little zip in it so it’s entirely possible the lightly-raced son of Maclean’s Music finds himself on the front end. Given that type of trip, he could be hard to beat. Fresh from a facile (and highly-rated) allowance win at Belmont Park in early July, the C. Brown-trained colt has been kept on edge with series of easy, steady workouts, and so we’re expecting a career top performance from this 4-year-old colt who won his debut over the Saratoga main track as a 2-year-old a couple of years ago. Whitmore and Mind Control, two-three finishers behind North America’s top sprinter Volatile, won’t have that one to worry about today and both are tough-as-nails competitors with proven winning form over wet surfaces. Fortin Hill has something to prove at this level – this will be his first stakes outing in just his fifth lifetime start – but the Mucho Macho Man colt is drawn comfortably outside and earned a sharp triple-digit Beyer speed figure in winning a strong allowance race at Belmont Park in early July at this exact extended sprint distance. He’s also won over a sloppy track. We’ll find out how good he is today.
*
*
RACE 9: Post 5:46 ET. Grade: C+
Use: 5-Corelli; 6-Cross Border; 8-Sadler’s Joy

Forecast: Cross Border and Sadler’s Joy meet again in what looks to be a repeat of the Bowling Green S.-G2, this time at a mile and one-half in the Sword Dancer S.-G. ‘Joy finished first last time out but was disqualified for causing interference to the fourth place finisher in mid-stretch, and while the number had to come there was no doubt he was best. How he’ll handle the soggy ground is a concern, though. Cross Border backed into the win – he’s now officially perfect in five career starts over the Saratoga turf course – and there’s really no reason why won’t fire his usual best shot once again. Sadler’s Joy actually drops two pounds off that race while Cross Border has the same impost, for whatever that’s worth. We’ll also toss in Corelli, a soft turf specialist in Europe and rounding to form after finishing a close third in the United Nations S.-G1 last month. In a race that we have no plans on playing, these are the three we’ll be including in our rolling exotics..
*
*
RACE 10: Post 6:16 ET. Grade: B-
Use: 2-Always Carina; 3-Jouster; 5-Zainalarab

Forecast: The known element seems average in this maiden juvenile filly sprint but there are a number of promising first-timers in the field and its among that group that we expect the winner to come from. Always Carina has trained like a nice filly for C. Brown and seems plenty fit following a string of solid drills in a somewhat brief but healthy series that began in mid-July. She appears to have good speed, but if there’s anything to be concerned about its her lack of consistency in changing leads in her drills. She was pretty much stride-for-stride with stable mate Zainalarab (both 4f, :47.1bg) in a gate drill last week with both able to go faster if turned loose. The latter is a $1 million daughter of War Front from Monmouth Oaks-G3 winner Delightful Joy and definitely has some run as well. Jouster is bred more for grass (Noble Mission) on the top side of her pedigree but her female family is strictly dirt and we suspect she’ll be live and well-meant in in her debut for T. Pletcher. A recent :59 4/5 gate drill (second fastest of 20 just five days) ago catches the eye.
*
*
RACE 11: Post 6:49 ET. Grade: B
Use: 3-Elonquent Speaker; 5-Flashpackinbarbie; 7-Midnight Surprise

Forecast: Midnight Surprise won her debut in clever fashion, not breaking any stopwatches in the process but showing a bit of moxie while winning with plenty after being geared down near the wire. She gets an extra half furlong to work with today and should enjoy the trip, so at 7/2 on the morning line the daughter of Flatter may be capable of repeating on the raise. Flashpackinbarbie, runner-up in a similar first-level allowance state-bred sprint for fillies and mares last month, makes her third start off a long layoff and we suspect it will be her best. She should find herself in a good pace-stalking/pressing position and have every chance from the quarter pole home. Eloquent Speaker has produced a forward move in each of her three career starts based strictly on speed figures and also shows the route-to-sprint angle that we like. The daughter of Flatter may get outrun early but should be heard from in the final furlong. Let’s use all three in our rolling exotics with preference on top to Midnight Surprise.
