Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks Delta Downs - Race #3


Picks
Notes


#8 Wicked Fitz
He was a good fit when catching a runaway winner in his only try at this level, and he should get a really nice run from just off the speed.


#2 Coast Guardsman
Dangerous speed nearly scored when dropped to this level last out, and he's the one to beat right back after that nice step forward when adding blinkers with similar.


#9 Friendofthecourt
He has had a couple chances with maiden claiming company, and while he may improve on the drop to this level for the first time, he seems like the type that may end up an underlay.


Race Summary
Wicked Fitz can get a good go of things from off the pace, and he should offer a playable price with the other listed pair likely to take more cash.


Delta Downs - Race #6


Picks
Notes


#8 Icy Charlie
This filly can get a really good trip here while pressing the pace similar to her last effort, and she draws outside of the forward players she's likely to be pressing.


#6 Papa Bro
Looks like the one to beat as he steps up to this next condition, and he has that dangerous combination of speed and the ability to rate that makes him very tough right back. Underlay?


#7 Mr. Production
Steps up off the win with easier, but he can get the right kind of trip from off the splits in here. Not sure if his ceiling is high enough to land this, but the trip should be there.


Race Summary
Icy Charlie is still pretty lightly raced and offers some upside here with a great trip from just off the splits waiting for her here as she faces the boys off a sharp win here in November.


Delta Downs - Race #8


Picks
Notes


#4 Wildabout Audrey
The main worry here is that she tends to give away a bit of ground in that last call, but she's in line for a brilliant trip right near the top with these. Big chance.


#1 Miss Charlie Sioux
Can't really argue much with the maiden win here last month, but she did earn that win in the off going, so she's no sure thing to repeat it from the fence while trying winners.


#7 Our Amen
Don't think she's good enough to win this, but her late-running style will give her a chance to pass some tired ones late for a piece of this.


Race Summary
Wildabout Audrey might be the right one to use in opposing flashy recent maiden winner Miss Charlie Sioux. Her style should keep her in a perfect spot, and she's likely to offer a better price than the class riser.

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks Pompano Park - Race #1


Picks
Notes


#9 LINDY BEACH
More dominant than winning margin indicates, hit the repeat button.


#4 RACE ME ROCKY
Steady check-getter, steady numbers, doesn't win alot.


#5 COLONYS BEST
Set solid pace, tired as the favorite after winless 2020.


Race Summary
Lindy Beach swept past the field with a powerful run on the final turn and was completely geared down in the stretch. He is today's Best Bet despite drawing post 9.


Northfield Park - Race #1


Picks
Notes


#7 PEARLS GIRL
Okay form in Canada, must stay flat for new connections.


#1 AKA LIL JAY
Flattened out while second-over versus 2-to-5 winner.


#3 PETEYANDTHEWOLF
Finished ahead of 'Aka' from second-tier starting spot.


Race Summary
Taking a longshot stab on Pearls Girl, who has a breaking habit but ran 1-2-3 in November at half-mile Flamboro Downs and gets first-time Lasix. Play a 1-3-7 exacta box.


Dover Downs - Race #3


Picks
Notes


#9 BFF HANOVER
Had excuses, good price and Dunn offset second-tier starting spot.


#7 SAY ITS NOT SO
Had tune-up after solid 5yo season, can surpass $100k today.


#6 IDEAL IN CASH
Chased the 3-1 winner around the track in latest.


Race Summary
BFF Hanover stayed in as the outer flow developed two back, losing all chance, then was no factor from post 8 on the drop to this level. She's worth a price shot with Dunn getting the drive despite another difficult post.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks Gulfstream Park - Race #3


Picks
Notes


#3 Country Singer
Battled early and finished second last out at GPW and could be a stayer at a similar this level; should be tough vs. these..


#4 Wicksters Dream
Drops in class after a second-place finish and is significantly lower than the price at which he was claimed two races back.


#1 Bold Envoy
Makes his second start for Pletcher, who is hitting at 27 percent; takes a sizable drop.


Race Summary
Country Singer faces a lot of rivals that have been at much higher levels and is in good form; overdue to get back to the winner's circle.


Gulfstream Park - Race #6


Picks
Notes


#2 Game Boy Benny
Was fourth in a Claiming Crown race last time out and has the talent to score at this level.


#4 Soldollie
Comes off a runner-up finish at this level in his first off the claim by Amado; has the speed to battle with any of these early on.


#3 Vinnie Van Go
Was dull in his last two vs. higher levels and should appreciate this drop in class; would not be a surprise.


Race Summary
Game Boy Benny gave a good effort last time and has improved since dropping to the bottom price in June; he's back in good form and fits well here.


Gulfstream Park - Race #8


Picks
Notes


#4 Danceteria
Invades from Australia, where he was outrun in some of the top graded races; surfaces here for Motion barn and has trained well for his return.


#4 Artie's Rumor
Closed well for fourth in a Claiming Crown race and won a similar race two back at Keeneland


#9 Endorsed
Has been in some outstanding races over dirt and makes his first over the turf; Mott is 7 of his last 14.


Race Summary
Danceteria has been in some classy events in Australia can give a good account of himself in his first in the U.S.

Mahoning Valley Race Course - Race #1 - Post: 12:45pm - Maiden Special - 5.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $27,500 Class Rating: 54

#3 SKIPSHOT LILLY (ML=5/2)


SKIPSHOT LILLY - When a sprinter is back in a race less than 10 days after her last outing, it generally means she's fit. This filly should be at the fitness peak, this far into her form cycle. The most recent speed rating of 51 is the highest last race speed fig in the group.

Vulnerable Contenders: #5 ANGELINA (ML=3/1), #4 DEVIL'S ADVOCATE (ML=4/1), #6 MINE ALONE (ML=9/2),

ANGELINA - The result of seventh in the last event shows me that this animal may be going out of form. This steed ran a somewhat easily forgotten speed rating in the last race. She shouldn't improve and will probably lose today running that figure. Where is the pace? None to be found in here to set things up for this racer. DEVIL'S ADVOCATE - 4/1 is too short of a price to take on this thoroughbred. MINE ALONE - This filly finished off the board on August 13th and wasn't even close last time around the track either.

https://www.trackmaster.com/images/tophat.jpgGUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - SKIPSHOT LILLY - I like to check out the TrackMaster Platinum PPs to look for the top mount in earnings per start. This fine animal looks good to me so I'm making a prime bet on her.

# 3 U S CONSTITUTION 3/1




# 1 MYHESSEXPRESS 9/2




# 2 EXPLAIN 5/1




I've got to go with U S CONSTITUTION. Has performed admirably recently in route races, posting a nifty 59 avg speed figure. This horse enters today's contest on Lasix. Tough to pass on this colt with Silvera in the saddle. MYHESSEXPRESS - Formidable average speed figs in dirt route races make this pony a contender. Kulp has him trained soundly to break sharply out of the starting gate. EXPLAIN - The Equibase class rating of today's affair is much lower than his last contest. The price could be just right on this horse.

I lean toward SOVEREIGN WARRIOR here. Have to sense that this one will run well following the quick return to the track. THREE OUTLAWS - Earned a solid speed figure last time out. KANTHAROS' IMAGE - Displays the look of a lucrative play, averaging a solid 91 Equibase Speed Figure which is one of the most competitive in this group.

#4 BANNER MAN (ML=9/2)


BANNER MAN - Don't often see a favorable return on investment like +54. This rider/conditioner twosome has done well together over the last 12 months. Peltroche rode this horse for the first time last time out and comes right back this time around. Have to make this gelding a strong challenger; he comes off a nice contest on December 18th.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 OFFICER UNBRIDLED (ML=3/5), #7 JACKLIGHTING (ML=5/1),

OFFICER UNBRIDLED - Can't bet on this entrant in today's sprint of 4 1/2 furlongs. Hasn't even finished in the money in a short distance contest of late. JACKLIGHTING - The very long layoff since Jun 12th is somewhat discouraging. The Brain always cautions me to stay away from horses in sprint contests that haven't finished in the money in short distance contests of late. When looking at today's class rating, he will have to register a much better speed rating than last time out to battle in this dirt sprint.

https://www.trackmaster.com/images/tophat.jpgGUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - BANNER MAN - This gelding had a finish of third with nominal odds in his first career start. Be sure to give him serious consideration in your betting.

Best Bets, Score Predictions for Wednesday Jan. 13
Matt Blunt

Montreal Canadiens vs. Toronto Maple Leafs

Money-Line Odds: Montreal +118; Toronto -136
Total (Over-Under): 6.5

Score Prediction: Toronto 4 Montreal 2
Best Bet: Toronto ML

Thanks to the unique bubble format of expanded playoffs, the Montreal Canadiens had their season extended and found some success with their second chance.

As the #12 seed they got by a #5 Pittsburgh team that kind of got hosed in the format and played like they had no interest in making it a long stay inside the bubble. That's not to take anything away from what Montreal did in taking full advantage of their opportunity, but after a couple of beneficial additions in the offseason, it feels like the market is pushing a bit too much on the Canadiens from the start.

The Habs have the second best odds to win the North Division (+400) behind Toronto (+125), meaning there is a nice combination of talent on the ice and respect in the market, but I'm not sure we don't see Montreal play themselves into that role as the weeks go on.

Teams in every sport that add multiple new faces that are expected to be heavy contributors can struggle early on, and even knowing Toronto will be the public side, you know what you're getting with the Leafs.

Toronto's got the offensive talent that's never really out of a game, let alone Game 1 of the year where any notions of “slumping” or “on fire” just don't exist. I'm not sure we get Toronto this cheap in this matchup later on in the year if those +125 and +400 division prices hold true to form either.

It's still Opening Night, and the comfortable route with a known commodity, even in a public role, is sensible enough even if it's just for a baseline to base thoughts upon for Game 2. Win or lose.


St. Louis Blues vs Colorado Avalanche

Money-Line Odds: St. Louis +125; Colorado -148
Total (Over-Under): 5.5

Score Prediction: St. Louis 3 Colorado 2
Best Bet: Blues ML

Colorado enters this shortened season as the favorite to lift the Stanley Cup in the summer, and barring any serious injury issues, Colorado should be in the conversation come the summer. But if the concern with Montreal is playing themselves into their potential, Colorado's concern could be with turning the switch on and off at times.

Colorado knows how good they are, and know that they'll get their fair share of wins this season just by showing up. The market won't be bashful about their Colorado support this year on all shapes and forms, and the contrarian in me would prefer to fade that type of support when we are all guessing the most.

The price is probably right in the end, but it will get more expensive on the Avalanche before it doesn't in all likelihood, but I'll still take the Blues here.

St. Louis was the first team that had to try and defend a Stanley Cup title in the middle of a pandemic since the 1918-19 Toronto Arenas were tasked with that challenge.

Toronto finished with a 5-13 record that for a year that was split into two halves, good enough for last place in a three-team NHL. That was never going to be a good omen for the Blues, and they were the only team that played in the West round robin that got bounced in their playoff series.

With all that's gone on in the world that Blues cup victory feels like forever ago, but this is still basically the same team that went on that run, and the additions of Torey Krug and Mike Hoffman could have some huge returns if everything breaks right.

The Blues had also won six straight against this up-and-coming Avalanche team before this current three-game losing streak against Colorado, and one of those was during the round robin in the bubble. Those games are forgivable for all eight teams involved, and if there ever is a decent time to fade season-long favorites it would be early in the year – when perspective is high and they've yet to hit stride – or late in the year when they are coasting towards a top playoff seed.

Again, early in the season so no need to go wild, but would something like a 5-5 SU start out of Colorado surprise you before they rip off 10 of 14 or something like that?

The Blues are one of the better candidates to be the reason for a loss or two in that type of record (Colorado has LA, Anaheim, San Jose, Minnesota up next), and the heater for the team that's anointed the “next one” isn't always on right out of the gate.

Play on: Wichita State -3½ -105 at BetCris

1* CBB - Tulsa/Wichita St *FREE PICK* on Wichita St -3.5
I will lay the 3.5 points with the Shockers at home against the Golden Hurricane. When Wichita State lost head coach Gregg Marshall before the season, it felt like everyone just wrote off the Shockers, but that has proven to be a mistake. It's also created great value in betting on Wichita State. The Shockers are 7-3 SU and have covered 5 straight. There's no shame in any of their 3 losses either, as they have come against Missouri, Oklahoma State and Houston all by 10 or fewer points. One of their 7 wins has come against Tulsa, who they beat 69-65 on the road as a 3.5-point dog. You might be thinking revenge for Tulsa here, but the Hurricane are just 16-36 ATS last 52 on the road when revenging a home loss. Bet Wichita State -3.5!

Play on: Hornets +4½ -110 at Mirage

Dave's Wednesday Free Play:
1* on Charlotte Hornets +4.5
The Key: The Charlotte Hornets are quietly playing some of the best basketball in the NBA right now. They have gone 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall with 3 upset victories over the Hawks (twice) and Pelicans. They also crushed the Knicks by 21 points as a 5-point favorite. The Mavericks are also playing well at 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games overall. But while the Hornets are fully healthy, the Mavericks are dealing with COVID problems. Dallas had to shut down facilities on Sunday after a positive test by Maxi Kleber. And now they are expected to be without Kleber, Dwight Powell, Dorian Finney-Smith, Jalen Brunson and Josh Richardson. Although Kristaps Porzingis is expected to make his season debut, he will be on a minutes restriction. That leaves a lot on Luka Doncic' plate to have to try and shoulder too much of the load. The Hornets already beat the Mavericks 118-99 as 8-point road dogs in their first matchup this year. The Mavericks are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as road favorites. The Hornets are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games as home dogs. Take Charlotte.

Both the Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder are tired teams right now. And that fatigue will make the tempo of this game slow down to a snail's pace. The Lakers will be playing for a second consecutive night and their 5th game in 7 days. The Thunder will be playing for a second consecutive night and their 3rd game in 4 days. The Lakers are a great defensive team that plays at one of the slowest tempos in the NBA. As a result the UNDER is 9-1 in Lakers last 10 games overall. The UNDER is 5-2 in Thunder last seven games overall. Give me the UNDER.

NBA | Grizzlies vs Wolves
Play on: Wolves -3 -110 at all

Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Minnesota Timberwolves -3
The Minnesota Timberwolves are finally at full strength for the first time all season. Karl Anthony Towns makes his much anticipated return Wednesday from a wrist injury that sidelined him for the past seven games.
His absence has allowed youngsters like Anthony Edwards and Jarrett Culver to play bigger roles and improve their games. It will be exciting to see what this team can do now with Towns back. Their opponent tonight in the Grizzlies is far from full strength, still playing without JA Morant, Justise Winslow and Jaren Jackson Jr.
The Grizzlies are starting to get some respect after beating the Nets and Cavaliers in their last two games coming in. But neither of those teams are playing well at all right now, and both are banged up. This will be a big step up in class for the Grizzlies tonight.
It's also a good spot for the Timberwolves coming in on two days' rest after beating the Spurs at home on Sunday. Minnesota is 4-1 ATS in its last five games playing on two days' rest. The Grizzlies are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games following an ATS win. Memphis is 1-6 ATS in its last seven games as a road underdog. Bet the Timberwolves Wednesday.

NCAA-B | Texas Tech vs Texas
Play on: Texas -2 -105 at BetCris

My free play is on Texas at 9:00 ET.
Five of the Big 12's 10 teams rank among the top-15 in the latest Associated Press poll, including THREE in the top six. Wednesday night in Austin, No. 4 Texas (10-1) and No. 15 Texas Tech (10-3) will square off. Texas returns home off a thrilling 72-70 win at then-No. 14 West Virginia on Saturday in which Andrew Jones hit the game-winning three-pointer with 1.8 seconds remaining. Texas continued its best start in Big 12 play since the 2010-11 season, when it began league play with 11 straight wins. The Red Raiders (3-2 in the Big 12) arrive in Austin off a dominating 91-64 road victory over Iowa State in which Texas Tech shot a season-best 58.9 percent from the floor.
Tech is off a great offensive effort against the Cyclones but the Red Raiders' calling card is defense, allowing 58.0 PPG (7th) on 39.0% shooting (28th). Georgetown transfer McClung (15.3) leads tech in scoring and is joined in the starting lineup by guards Edwards (10.6 & 5.3) and Peavy (6.0). The 6-7 Santos-Silva (8.7 & 6.2) is Tech's tallest starter, although the 6-6 Shannon (13.6 & 4.8) and the 6-6 McCullar (10.3 & 6.3) are bigger producers.
Texas has a trio of starting guards all averaging 13-plus PPG. Ramey (13.8-3.2-3.5) is barely ahead of Coleman (13.6-3.2-4.4) and inspirational leader Andrew Jones (13.4 & 4.4). The 6-9 Brown (12.0 & 7.9) and the 6-10 Sims (6.5 & 6.5) start up front, while the 6-11 Kai Jones (9.0 & 5.0) comes off the bench. Texas matches Texas Tech on the perimeter and has the size up front to give the Red Raiders problems inside. At this price, I won't pass up a play on the home team. Hook'em Horns!
Good luck...Larry

Play on: Clippers -6½ -113 at pinnacle

As for this game, the Clippers had a rare two days off between games and they are relatively healthy right now and we expect them to take care of business with a comfortable win over a Pelicans team that comes in having lost three straight. The Pels haven’t covered in any of those losses and this team is just not in good form right now. New Orleans has had an even longer layoff but we think that might cause some rust here. The Clippers have won in a blowout the last two times this team has visited, and we expect a double-digit victory from the home team tonight.

Both Vancouver and Edmonton are chalk full of offensive talent. Both sides scored more than 3 gpg last season, and another top tier offensive performance must be expected this season behind what Im projecting to be non stop fat paced action. I know the Canucks goalie Holtby has won a Veizna trophy but with a sub par defense in front of him here in Canuck land he's in trouble in may come close to replicating in his 2nd worst GAA from last season in this campaign.

NBA | Pelicans vs Clippers
Play on: Pelicans +6½ -110 at all

The set-up: New Orleans is 4-5, most recently coming off a 118-110 home loss to Charlotte. The Pelicans had an 18-point second-quarter lead in that contest as well, but 19 turnovers and sloppy play in the second half led to the meltdown.
The pick: Perhaps no team is under the microscope more than the LA Clippers. LA needed both Paul George and Kawhi Leonard to excel in their latest 130-127 win over the Bulls on their home floor. Chicago had just a few starters going in that one, so the fact that the Clippers struggled with such a weak team is obviously a concern. And now LA faces a Pelicans side that's desperate to break a three-game slide. I think LA is going to have its hands full again here. Consider New Orleans and the points in this one.
This is a 1* FREE PLAY on the New Orleans Pelicans.

For Wednesday in ACC play I will lay the road chalk with the 8-1 Louisville Cardinals as they take on a Wake Forest team that stands at 3-3 and is in clear rebuild mode after parting ways with Danny Manning and hiring Steve Forbes to lead the team in a new direction.

The Demon Deacons have dropped ALL 3 of their conference games and ALL 3 have come on the road. The problem in ACC play has been Wake's lowly 61 points per game averaged.

Louisville had their last game against Georgia Tech postponed, but they are still riding a 4 game winning streak with 3 covers in the 4 wins.

The Cardinals have had their way in this rivalry, as they have won each of the last 3 series meetings and 4 of the 5 overall against the Demon Deacons.

Wake has been hit hard by COVID-19, as they have multiple players sidelined, including a pair of double-digit scorers.

Louisville slowly but surely turns this one into a road rout.

Go with the Cardinals.

5* LOUISVILLE

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Bob Valentino

That's the case again here on Wednesday as Milwaukee came into this regular season having won 11 in a row - including the playoffs - over Detroit and after winning the first pair of meetings this season the win streak is now at 13 straight. The Bucks have also covered in 9 of the last 10 victories, so why not just lay the lumber again tonight?

It doesn't help that Detroit is just 2-8 straight up this season, while Milwaukee is 7-4 and come into this road game with 5 wins (including the pair over the Pistons) over their last 6 games and they have covered in 4 of those 6.

Some things never change. Lay it with the Bucks over the Pistons.

5* MILWAUKEE

Trace Adams

Wednesday free play is to stay with the tried-and-true for the early portion of the NBA season and that is to play any game that the Charlotte Hornets are involved in, Under the posted total.

Charlotte has played 11 games this season and 8 of the 11 have held Under the total, including their last pair and 4 of their last 5 overall.

Dallas has also been trending Under for the early portion of their COVID-19 schedule as 2 of their last 3 entering Wednesday play have held Under the total and for the season the Under is 6-3 in their 9 games played.

Those numbers that I listed above do include the first meeting between the teams on December 30th when they combined for just 217 points in a game where the price was 225 total points. That Under put the series numbers at 4-2 Under for the last 6 meetings.

Both teams average right around 110 points and they both do a pretty good job on the defensive end with both holding their opponents to less points than they score on offense.

I don't think we are in for an offensive explosion tonight. Go Under in Dallas-Charlotte.

3* DALLAS-CHARLOTTE UNDER

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Chris Jordan

The Los Angeles Lakers are my free play tonight, a second-straight night I'm siding with the purple and gold. Last night they took care of the troubled Houston Rockets, tonight it's a trip to Oklahoma City, where the Thunder won't be able to slow down the champs.

Okie City had its three-game win streak snapped with a loss to San Antonio last night. The inconsistency on offense finally caught up with the Thunder, who were held to 102 points against the Spurs. Now they face the third-best scoring defense in the league, as the Lakers are holding teams to 105.7 points per game.

And it's bad enough OKC already ranks 28th in the league with 104.6 points per game, vast difference from a team that finished the second in the league last season with 110.4 points per contest. It may only look like a six-point difference, but it's the lack of electricity this team once had that is alarming.

Meanwhile, you're asking the Thunder to try to keep up with a Lakers team that has won seven of eight since opening the season with a split of its first four games. Fact is, their offense has a far too many weapons, they excel on defense to create transitional basketball, and they play with an extreme amount of confidence.

Lakers roll.

3* LAKERS

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Gus Augustine

My free play for Wednesday night is on the ice, where I'm going to lay the puck line with the Colorado Avalanche, against the St. Louis Blues.

Colorado coach Jared Bednar has guided the Avalanche to a 4-0-0 record in season openers since being named head coach of the club ahead of 2016-17.

The Avalanche franchise is 28-8-4 (.750) all-time in home openers. Colorado is 16-5-3 (.729) in home openers since moving from Quebec, including a 14-4-2 (.750) mark at Ball Arena. The franchise also owns a 23-10-7 (.663) all-time record on Opening Night, the second-best mark in the NHL

Bednar comes in with a loaded roster, one led by Nathan MacKinnon, for the start of the season. And with many of the same faces still here, it's important to note that Colorado tied for third among all teams in goals scored (236) and ranked fourth in goals per game (3.37) last season. The Avs shared the league lead in 5-on-5 tallies (162).

That last point is important as St. Louis will be playing without its former emotional and defensive leader Alex Pietrangelo, who is now skating with the Golden Knights.

The Blues will find their way, eventually, but opening night on the road, against a high-powered offense like the Avalanche, this is a tough chore.

Lay the puck line.
