Jim Feist's Comp Pick, Monday, October 30, 2017

NBA (713) DALLAS MAVERICKS VS (714) UTAH JAZZ

Take: UNDER

Reason: Your free play for Monday, October 30, 2017 is in the NBA contest between the Dallas Mavericks and the Utah Jazz. Dallas slow out of the gate with a 1-6 start to the season and 0-2 on the road. The Mavs haven't fared much better against the spread, covering just two of seven. The Utah Jazz are 3-3 on the season, but 3-0 at home both S/U and ATS. Good news for the Jazz is that eight of their next nine games come at home. The Mavs are allowing 107.4 ppg while scoring just 99.6 ppg. Utah's defense has been good as usual, allowing just 93.8 ppg thus far. At home the "D" has been even better, allwoing just 88 ppg. Can't expect much out of the struggling Mavs here, playing in the high altitude of Salt Lake city. The Jazz shut them down here on Monday. Play the UNDER

Going to lay it here on Monday with the Utah Jazz as they host the Dallas Mavericks.

It has only been a small sample size this season, but it sure looks like Dallas is not the team you want to back on the road, as the Mavs have dropped both road games this season, splitting them against the spread. They play this game off a 12-point home loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Utah is off to a perfect 3-0 straight up and against the spread start at home this season, with their most recent win coming by double-digits as they held the Lakers to just 81 points.

Jazz are winners over the Mavs in 3 of the last 4 meetings, but Dallas has made good against the spread in the last 3 series meetings. The last 2 meetings between the teams have needed overtime to decide, but you wouldn't know that by the line the oddsmakers have posted tonight.

The big number tells me all I need to know. Lay it with Utah as they use their defense to stymie Dallas.

Jazz by double-digits as they make it 4-0 both straight up and against the spread at home.

2* UTAH

ERIC SCHROEDER

My free play for Monday is in the NBA, where I'm playing the Toronto Raptors-Portland Trail Blazers game Over the posted number.

While the Blazers are enjoying their third consecutive home game, the Raptors are in the middle of their six-game road trip, that has already stopped in San Antonio, Oakland and Los Angeles. After losing to the Spurs and Warriors, Toronto beat the Lakers, 101-92, on Friday. With two days to unwind, I think the Raptors' offense comes to challenge Portland.

The Blazers step to the court after a 114-107 win over feisty Phoenix on Saturday, when Damian Lillard hit a 10-foot runner with 29 seconds left to push Portland out of reach. I think that shot is going to spark Lillard, who is shooting 37.9 percent (33 of 87), and 30 percent (17 of 56) over his last three games. The team averages 111 points per game, and should be ready to run with the Raptors.

Play this one high.

3* OVER Raptors/Blazers

JACK BRAYMAN

Headed to the ice for my free play tonight, as I like the new kid Vegas Golden Knights and New York Islanders to go Over the posted total. In fact, I think they could combine to score seven or eight.

Welcome to the East coast Vegas, this isn't pretty lights on the strip at T Mobile. You're headed into Brooklyn, to play at Barclays, where the ice can be a deterrent and the atmosphere is a bit odd. At times, you think you're playing in a hollow space, with so many empty seats only used for basketball.

The new scenery for the first time in eight games, after playing a seven-game homestand, might throw Vegas off the first period, and the Islanders could very well get a couple early to open a 2-0 lead. But that won't intimidate the scrappy Knights.

Vegas owns a 15-2 edge over opponents in the second period, and this is where it will make it a hockey game. I wouldn't be surprised to see this game tied 3-3 at the end of two.

Look for the Islanders and Vegas to get big games from their middle lines, and this one to go Over.

2* OVER Golden Knights/Islanders

# 3 WORLD ELITE 7/2

# 9 HOTSPUR HARRIET 6/1

# 8 QUEEB 10/1

I've got to go with WORLD ELITE. Has run well when racing a dirt sprint race. Will most likely be one of the leaders of the bunch going into the halfway point of the affair. Seems to have a solid class edge based on the latest company kept. HOTSPUR HARRIET - Had one of the most competitive speed figures of this group in her last contest. QUEEB - With a strong 70 Equibase Speed Fig last time out, will surely be a factor in this contest. She has been racing admirably recently while recording strong Equibase Speed Figures.

# 2 EXTRASEXYMAZZERATI 6/5

# 7 NONNO 3/1

# 5 MATCH THE POT 8/1

I think EXTRASEXYMAZZERATI is a very good choice. Must be in good form if the trainer is bringing him back so quickly. Looks to have a respectable class edge based on the recent company kept. Is a sharp contender based on numbers earned recently under today's conditions. NONNO - Could provide positive returns based on strong recent Equibase Speed Figures with an average of 56. Arriagada has one of the most respectable winning percentages in this group with entries running at this distance and surface. MATCH THE POT - This gelding is coming back almost immediately to race.

Turf Paradise - Race #4 - Post: 2:23pm - Claiming - 4.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $7,000 Class Rating: 82

Rating: 4

#2 TAKEIT TOTHE LIMIT (ML=5/1)
#8 NICOLAS CAJUN (ML=10/1)
#9 CARSON'S START (ML=5/2)

TAKEIT TOTHE LIMIT - The fact that this gelding is entered right back into a race so quickly means he's fit and ready. He got a decent speed fig the last time he tried this trip. A big drop down in class figure points from his October 21st race at Turf Paradise. Based on that data point, I will give this horse the edge. This gelding is certainly on the improve with Equibase speed figures of 60, 63, 68 last three out. NICOLAS CAJUN - Just see his latest figure, 75. That one fits in this field. CARSON'S START - He must like the track here. Shipped in to take the top prize on October 16th and he looks tough once again. The jock and handler combination have a profitable ROI when they team up.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 FUSAICHI SAMURAI (ML=2/1), #3 EXPONENTIALLY (ML=6/1), #6 DAX 'N' BRAX (ML=8/1),

FUSAICHI SAMURAI - The Brain cautions me to keep away from ponies in short distance contests that haven't hit the board in sprint affairs of late. There's early speed, speed, and more early zip in this event. Doesn't look good for this horse. EXPONENTIALLY - Last performed on Oct 22nd at Turf Paradise, finishing sixth. Not likely to get better off of that try in today's event. Don't think this horse will make a winning move in today's event. That last speed rating was run-of-the-mill when compared with today's class rating. DAX 'N' BRAX - Difficult to wager on any horse in a short distance race at 8/1 when he hasn't shown any positive results in sprints in the last couple of months.

Zia Park - Race #3 - Post: 1:05pm - Maiden Claiming - 5.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $12,000 Class Rating: 51

Rating: 4

#3 FREAKY FAST (ML=8/1)
#7 LOOK AT THIS CAT (ML=3/1)
#1 IZE A CRAFTY GAL (ML=2/1)

FREAKY FAST - A repeat of that last effort on September 1st where she earned a speed rating of 22 looks lofty enough to triumph in this event. EPS (earnings per start) is something that I think can be a most important handicapping factor. This thoroughbred is ranked at the top in this field. LOOK AT THIS CAT - As the only speedy sort in the race, I expect this filly to be long gone. I think the shorter trip will help this filly stay the trip. After the contest aboard this animal on September 26th, the jockey is going to be in touch with the filly much better. Entered a Maiden Special race at Zia Park last time out and raced on a track listed as good finishing eighth. I'd expect a better race in this race. I look for a pretty big improvement in this event with the addition of Lasix for the second time. IZE A CRAFTY GAL - First-timer has morning drills over the Zia Park strip, which is always a plus. The addition of Lasix might make this horse wake up in today's race.

Vulnerable Contenders: #4 SUDDENLY A GHOST (ML=4/1), #8 HIGH AND LOFTY (ML=9/2),

SUDDENLY A GHOST - This mount hasn't been close to the winner at the wire lately. Finished sixth in her most recent performance with a somewhat easily forgotten speed rating. When I look at today's class rating, it would take an improved performance to score after that in this field. HIGH AND LOFTY - No picnic to wager on this racer today. Make her show you something in a sprint race before you play her in a race of 5 furlongs.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - LOOK AT THIS CAT - Taking a very big class figure tumble today. Let's make some cash on the drastic descent.

#3 FREAKY FAST is going to be the play if we are getting 3/1 or better

Tommy Brunson

Monday comp play is the Denver Broncos plus the points.

Both the Broncos and the Chiefs come in riding 2 game losing streaks, as Denver was shutout last weekend against the Chargers, while Kansas City drew a pair of defensive penalties with no time on the clock and got stunned in Oakland by the Raiders.

I suspect that the Denver injury situation is going to prevent the outright upset, but this pointspread leaves plenty of room for the Broncos to find the proverbial back-door.

This is a rivalry game, and I can tell you that Denver cannot be happy about losing both meetings last year to Kansas City, and now 3 in a row overall to the Chiefs. Last season the Broncos were routed at Arrowhead Stadium, look for them to keep things closer this time around.

Chiefs with the win, but the Broncos plus the points get the cover.
