Kevin Dolan Event: (207961) Besiktas at (207962) Fatih Karagumruk
Sport/League: SOC
Date/Time: January 21, 2021 8AM EST
Play: Total Under 2.5 (+115)
Good value on the Under here as Besiktas take on Karagumruk in Thursday's early kick off over in the Turkish Super Lig.
Besiktas have one of the best defenses in the league this season, ranking 4th overall, but on the road they've been poor, giving up 1.89 goals per game.
However, over their last three starts, they've really turned a corner, registering two clean sheets from their last three road games, and we think they can limit Karagumruk here on Thursday.
Karagumruk have allowed just 8 goals at home all season, 3rd best in the league, as they like to play in their own half and create counter attacking opportunities. But against this possession based football of Besiktas, 2nd highest in the league at 56.8%, that counter attacking threat will few and far between and we can see this game being decided by a goal by either team.
Take the Under on Thursday between Besiktas and Fatih Karagumruk.
PLAY: UNDER 2.5

Nick Borrman Event: Adam Hadwin vs Aaron Wise
Sport/League: GLF
Date/Time: January 21, 2021 1PM EST
Play: Adam Hadwin (+100)
The American Express
Tournament Matchup
I’m scratching my head as to why Wise is actually favored here and we can get even money on Hadwin. Hadwin did limp into the holiday break missing three straight cuts, but looking at a longer body of work, he was very solid since the PGA Tour restart in June. He had made 13 of 14 cuts in his starts before those three missed cuts to end the season which I’m not too worried about now as he is fully rested here for his first start of the season.
Compare that to Wise who was much more inconsistent since the restart. Wise missed the cut in more than half of the events he played in, 8 of 14 missed cuts although he did end with a bang finishing solo 2nd at Mayakoba in the last official event before the holiday break, but that was certainly an anomaly to his long term play.
Statistically, Wise surprisingly finished 3rd on Tour in 2020 in Greens in Regulation, yet finished 89th in Strokes Gained Approach, he best Strokes Gained statistical category. That just means although he was hitting greens, he wasn’t hitting them within a decent proximity to capitalize and add in his 171st ranking in putting, he was 3-putting much too often, ranking 193rd on Tour.
Hadwin was solid in many facets of his game ranking inside the Top 60 in Strokes Gained Approach, Around the Green, Tee to Green and Overall, while falling just outside of that at #66 SG Putting.
But the biggest reason I love Hadwin this week is his history at PGA West. He did not play here last year due to the birth of his child, but in the four years prior he finished T2, T3, 2nd and T6. There is no doubt he will be full of confidence coming in here and is a true horse for the course play this week.
TAKE ADAM HADWIN OVER AARON WISE

Nick Borrman Event: The American Express Outright Winner
Sport/League: GLF
Date/Time: January 21, 2021 5PM EST
Play: Sprinkle on Redman, McCarthy & Schenk
Sony Open
This field is very top heavy with about 12-15 guys all favored in the under 35-1 range, then it falls off very quickly and you can get a ton of value on guys that have been playing very well over the last few months and haven’t quite broken through but are certainly due.
Doc Redman is a guy I like this week, no official PGA Tour win yet, but two top 5’s already this season in six starts. He will breakthru for a win sooner or later. He is available at 110/1 at Draftkings which is insane or 12/1 for a Top 10. For Daily fantasy players, He is available for just $7,500 also at DraftKings.
Denny McCarthy is another name who was up in the 40-1 range and is a crazy 200/1 at DraftKings right now or 18/1 for a Top 10. He also has two Top 5’s already this season and he led the PGA Tour in putting each of the last two seasons. As long as he putts like normal, all he has to do is just be average tee to green and he will be in the mix on Sunday. For daily fantasy he is even more of a steal at just $6,900.
Last guy I’ll throw out there is Adam Schenk. Schenk made 11 straight cuts to end last year and carry over into this season. He did miss the cut last week at the Sony Open but at 240/1 well worthy of a couple bucks this week. I like him for a Top 20 at 7/1 this week. For daily fantasy and the importance of making the cut, $6,700 is worthy of a roster spot.
My recommendation for this week is to take your normal 3% stake and split it up to 1% for each guy and then 80% on the Top 10 or Top 20 market and 20% on the Outright. If any one of them cashes, we will have a nice payday!

Carmine Bianco Event: (3) Philadelphia Flyers at (4) Boston Bruins
Sport/League: NHL
Date/Time: January 21, 2021 7PM EST
Play: Boston Bruins -135
NHL - Philadelphia Flyers at Boston Bruins
Quick Synopsis: The Bruins come off back to back losses and will play their home opener on Thursday and will face a Flyers team who despite splitting a 2 game set with the Sabres were outplayed in both. Halak should get the start for the Bruins in the first of two against these Flyers and his splits not only at home (2.34 GAA .920 SV%) but against the Flyers (10-6-3) are positive while a struggling Hart should start for the Flyers and his road slips haven't been great thus far in a short career (9-14-1, 3.31 GAA) We'll look for the Bruins to get back into the win column here.
The play is Boston Bruins -135

Tony Finn Event: (523) Los Angeles Lakers at (524) Milwaukee Bucks
Sport/League: NBA
Date/Time: January 21, 2021 7PM EST
Play: Milwaukee Bucks -115
The Los Angeles Lakers (11-4, first in the Western Conference) haven't won a game on Martin Luther King Day in years. Some days, for some players and organizations, are a day that should not have work scheduled. Martin Luther King Day is that 24 hour period for the Lakers. LA travels for a Thursday night for the early NBA on TNT feature to Wisconsin to square off against the Milwaukee Bucks (9-5, second in the Eastern Conference).
The Lakers will enter the center circle riding a seven-game road winning streak. The successful run of wins in the role of visitor for LA will have to overcome Milwaukees 6-1 mark at home this 2020-21 season.
Milwaukee and reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo will be the Lakers' toughest road test this young season and, by my measure, will end LA's perfect 7-0 road mark.
Take the Bucks in a home game in which you are not required to lay points. It will be the only time you can get The Greek Freak on home wood without a significant handicap or money-line following closely behind.
MILWAUKEE BUCKS -115 (money-line)

# 2 CREATIVE MINESHAFT 7/2




I think PROTA is a quite good choice. Has strong front speed and should fare well versus this group. Is a definite contender - given the 70 speed fig from his most recent race. I would like this gelding on the jockey and trainer numbers alone. BYEBYE BYEBYE - Has performed quite well recently in sprint races, posting a nifty 62 avg speed fig. With a competitive 65 speed rating last time out, will definitely be a factor in this contest. CREATIVE MINESHAFT - Earning some nice paychecks in dirt sprint races. Has a solid record at the distance and surface, which makes me have to consider this horse.

#2 LONGLEGGEDLAVERNE (ML=6/1)
#4 BETTER BIZ (ML=6/1)
#6 LADY KAZA (ML=9/2)


LONGLEGGEDLAVERNE - When this jockey and handler partner up you have to take a look. Hernandez and Combs have been fantastic together. This equine didn't run well on a track listed as good in her last race around the track at Fair Grounds. You probably want to overlook that showing. BETTER BIZ - Forgive the out of the money finish on the off track last time around the track. Without the slop, has a good shot right here. Earnings per start is something that I believe can be a very important selection factor. This horse is ranked the highest in this field. LADY KAZA - I have to figure that today's shorter distance should help this filly. When Pedroza and Delahoussaye combine forces on equines the return on investment has been wonderful at +575. Don't throw this horse out due to her last event at Fair Grounds where she ended up seventh on the soft turf. I look for an improvement today.

Vulnerable Contenders: #5 BELLA BELLE (ML=7/2), #8 BEE BALM (ML=4/1), #1 OVER THE BLUES (ML=5/1),

BELLA BELLE - This morning-line favorite may be out of form without any recent works. BEE BALM - 4/1 odds isn't enough for this participant when examining the most recent efforts. This mare recorded a fig in her last affair which likely isn't good enough in today's event. OVER THE BLUES - This vulnerable equine ran a common speed figure last time around the track. She shouldn't run much better and will probably get beat in today's race running that figure.

#9 MISHPOCHA (ML=9/5)


MISHPOCHA - Taking a trip to a lower class rank; has the power to make her presence felt. Just look at her recent figure, 48. That one fits in this field. 'Blinkers On' is a time-honored positive angle in handicapping the races. This animal brings in a lot of dough per start. I believe she can increase the lifetime earnings in this race.

Vulnerable Contenders: #5 KOLKATA (ML=3/1), #1 CHIM CHIM GEMINI (ML=9/2), #4 BLAME IT ON MAMIE (ML=6/1),

KOLKATA - Probably won't make much of an impact today. CHIM CHIM GEMINI - This less than sharp equine ran a substandard speed rating in the last race. She shouldn't run much better and will likely lose in today's race running that figure. BLAME IT ON MAMIE - Couldn't close ground at any point on Dec 2nd. Hard to bet on this time at the expected odds. When looking at today's class rating, she will have to earn a much better speed figure than last out to compete in this turf sprint.

https://www.trackmaster.com/images/tophat.jpgGUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - MISHPOCHA - I love betting on horses that have a big advantage over the rest of the field when it comes to the TrackMaster Power Rating. This one fits the bill.

# 13 THE HUMONGOUS ONE 4/1




ADHHAR is my choice. This gelding must be carefully examined just off the earnings per start in dirt sprint events alone. Have to look at solely on class, with some of the top class figures of this group. Has been racing soundly and has among the top speed in the race for today's distance. CROCKETTS BLUFF - Has decent speed figures and has to be considered for a bet in here. This selection will feel the med change - with second time Lasix today. THE HUMONGOUS ONE - Put up a sound Equibase Speed Figure in the last race. Can run another good one in this contest. His 67 average has this gelding with among the best speed figures for this event.

Dave's Thursday Free Play:
1* on Rutgers -2.5
The Key: The Rutgers Scarlet Knights opened 6-0 with wins over Syracuse, Illinois and Maryland. The schedule has gotten even tougher since and they have gone 1-5 in their last 6 games overall with their lone win against Purdue. They lost to Ohio State (twice), Iowa, Michigan State and Wisconsin. They battled some injuries during that stretch which didn't help and are now fully healthy. Now they are very hungry for a victory off 4 straight losses, and they finally face a team they will handle in the Penn State Nittany Lions. Penn State is one of the worst teams in the Big Ten. The Nittany Lions are 0-5 in conference play this season and losing by 9.0 PPG. They just lost 65-79 at Illinois on Tuesday and will now be playing their 3rd game in 5 days. The Scarlet Knights have been off since Friday and have 5 days in between games to get game plan for Penn State. Rutgers is 15-5 ATS in its last 20 games when playing just its 2nd game in 8 days. The Nittany Lions are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games. Penn State could be without Myles Dread, who left the Illinois game early with a shoulder injury. Take Rutgers.

Play on: Senators +111 at linepros

Thursday NHL Free play. My selection is on Ottawa over Winnipeg at 7:05 pm et on Thursday.
We missed the mark with the Senators in this same matchup earlier this week as they blew a pair of two-goal leads in an eventual 4-3 overtime loss. I look for them to bounce back here as they wrap up a four-game homestand to open the season. Keep in mind, these two teams will play two more games against one another in Winnipeg beginning on Saturday. The Jets turned in another disjointed effort in Tuesday's overtime victory, outshot by a wide 41-28 margin in that contest. I'm still somewhat high on the young Sens in the early going this season and confident in their ability to bounce back in a winnable home game here on Thursday night. The fact we're being offered a plus-money return is a bonus. Take Ottawa (8*).

The Lakers have the best defensive efficiency rating in the league and they rank near the middle of the pack for pace at 102.7 possessions per game. The Bucks had played four straight unders prior to facing a Brooklyn team that seemingly has decided that playing defense is optional. Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.

Play on: Murray State -6 -110 at Draft Kings

1* Free Sharp Play on Murray State -6 -110
Murray State (-6) is worth a look here as a small home favorite against Jacksonville State in Thursday's Ohio Valley action on the college hardwood. The Racers snapped a 4-game skid in a big way with a 79-57 road win over Tennessee Martin. Look for them to build on that strong showing here at home against a struggling Gamecocks team that has lost 3 of their last 4. Jacksonville State's last 5 wins have either come against a Non DI team or a DI team that is ranked outside the Top 300. This team is simply getting way too much respect here against a Murray State team that is ranked in the Top 150. Play the Racers -6!

Jack's Free Pick Thursday: California +9
This is a great time to 'sell high' on the UCLA Bruins. They are 7-0 in Pac-12 play for the first time since the 1993-94 season. You are definitely paying a premium to back the Bruins at this point. Asking them to beat Cal by double-digits to cover this spread on the road is asking too much.
UCLA needed to erase a 15-point deficit in the second half at home against Washington (2-11) to come out on top 81-76 on Saturday. And now they face a motivated Cal team that will be looking for revenge following a 56-76 road loss at UCLA on December 6th in their first meeting this season. They would love to hand the Bruins their first conference defeat.
The Bears are identical 9-point home dogs in the rematch, so the books haven't adjusted at all for home-court advantage. This is a Cal team that has won two of its last three contests and is coming off an impressive 72-63 upset win at Utah as 11.5-point dogs.
UCLA is 2-1 SU in true road games this season with both wins coming by 6 points or less. The Golden Bears are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 home games. California is 6-1 ATS in its last seven home games vs. a team with a winning road record. The Bruins are 12-30-1 ATS in their last 43 games as road favorites. Bet California Thursday.

Play on: UNDER 6½ -113

I won with the Canucks last night. That was a wild 6-5 affair. With the same teams facing each other for the second time in two nights, I'm expecting an entirely different type of game this evening. Montreal's most recent visit here, before last night, resulted in a 3-1 final. The year before that was a 3-2 game here. Even factoring in last night's result, the 'under' remains 6-3-1 the last 10 meetings here. Note that the lone 'push' was a game which landed on five. So, it would have also stayed below tonight's far more generous total. Consider the Under 6.5.

1* NBA - Knicks/Warriors *FREE PICK* on Knicks +4.5
This is strictly a situational play on New York. Even though the Knicks come in having won their last 2, the betting public is going to want nothing to do with back NY as a relatively small road dog against a Warriors team that just followed up a huge come from behind win against the Lakers on Monday with a 121-99 blowout win over the Spurs last night. The key here is Golden State is going to find it hard to get up for this game playing on no rest after really laying it all on the line in their last 2. The Knicks on the other hand are fresh playing on 2 days of rest. This has upset written all over it. Bet New York +4.5!

Play on: UNDER 216½ -105

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Pelicans/Jazz UNDER 216.5
The Pelicans and Jazz just played on Tuesday with Utah winning 118-102 for 220 combined points. I think the rematch will be much lower scoring due to the fact that both teams are now familiar with one another. And I don't envision the Jazz shooting as well (50.6%) as they did in the first meeting. Both of these teams prefer to slow it down. The Pelicans rank 26th in pace while the Jazz rank 24th. The UNDER is 5-1 in Jazz last six games as a favorite. Give me the UNDER.

528 New Orleans at Utah
Used the prior meeting as a play for our clients, and see no reason to change our mind here. New Orleans does one thing very well. Pound the offensive boards and keep opponents off their offensive glass. The problem is the Jazz do much of the same. The main difference is Utah is an excellent team shooting from distance, and they are doing more and more of that every game. New Orleans on the other hand allows more three pointers than anyone else in the league. Big matchup advantage here once again for the Jazz.

NHL | Avalanche vs Kings
Play on: Avalanche -1½ +113 at pinnacle

The Kings very well could be 3-0. Instead they have begun the season 0-3 for their worst start in four years. One of their losses occurred against the Wild when Minnesota scored with one second left to force overtime after the Kings had hit the post on an empty net shot. I had the Kings in that game at a plus price. It's my toughest beat of the season. Colorado dealt LA it's latest defeat, 3-2, two days ago. Taken aback by the Avalanche's speed after not playing for 10 months and then opening with two games against the Wild, the Kings fell behind Colorado, 3-0. LA rallied in the third period for two goals, but fell a goal short. The Kings had blown a pair of 3-1 leads against the Wild. This all has to be very demoralizing for the Kings. They are outclassed by the Avalanche, who won't be letting down this time around. Colorado is too fast for Los Angeles. The Kings can't compensate by illegal means because they already have been exposed being whistled for 18 penalties. They have the highest average of minor penalties in the league at 5.33. The Avalanche are the wrong team to give the man advantage to. Their deadly power play unit spearheaded by superstar Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen and Gabriel Landeskog has produced eight power play goals in 17 tries. The oddsmaker recognizes all this. That's why the Avalanche are installed as huge road chalk. So I'm recommending laying 1 1/2 goals on the puck line. Even if the Kings manage to hang around - which I doubt - their luck has been so bad they probably would give up an empty net goal.

Colorado vs. Los Angeles over 5.5
The Over is worth a flyer. These two teams met two days ago in a 3-2 game and this one should be much more open. Look for the Avalanche to put more pressure on early and for the Kings to have plenty of counter attack chances.
Good Luck, Razor Ray.
