Saskatchewan Roughriders vs. Ottawa RedBlacks Preview and Predictions 06-21-2018

CFL Previews 18th June 2018 by Gracenote
The Saskatchewan Roughriders look to build on their Week 1 win over the defending Grey Cup champions when they face the Ottawa Redblacks in the nation's capital on Thursday. The Roughriders knocked off the Toronto Argonauts 27-19 to earn their first win in a season opener since 2014, and hope to ride the momentum to their fifth victory in the last six overall meetings with Ottawa.

"It feels good to start the season off on the right foot," Saskatchewan quarterback Zach Collaros told reporters. "The guys really worked their tails off in training camp and deserved to win the game." The new-look Redblacks are eager to wash away the memories of the 30-21 East Division semifinal loss to the Roughriders last season. Ottawa, which started the new campaign on a bye, revamped its roster after finishing with a losing record last year and hopes to sprint out of the starting blocks following a 1-6-1 start in the previous campaign. Starting quarterback Trevor Harris suffered an ankle injury in the 27-7 preseason win against the Montreal Alouettes on May 31, but is expected to play and aims to help the Redblacks set the pace in the East after the other three teams in the division lost in the opening week.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, TSN

ABOUT THE ROUGHRIDERS (1-0): Collaros was stellar in his Saskatchewan debut as he completed 18-of-25 passes for 203 yards and a touchdown in the win against Toronto. Charleston Hughes, who was acquired in a trade with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the offseason, made a major impact in his first game for the Roughriders as he recorded three sacks - including the 100th of his career in the first quarter. Saskatchewan received some key contributions from two other debutants as Nick Marshall returned an interception 66 yards for his first CFL touchdown and Brett Lauther made 4-of-5 field goal attempts against the Argonauts.

ABOUT THE REDBLACKS (2017: 8-9-1): Harris threw for 4,679 yards and 30 touchdowns in 15 games last season and has a variety of weapons back at his disposal including wide receiver Greg Ellingson, who led the CFL with 12 touchdown receptions in 2017. "We have a little chip on our shoulders with how things ended last year," Ellingson told reporters. "Everyone has their minds set and are ready to bang when the time comes." Ottawa will feature a plethora of fresh new faces on defense, including defensive backs Rico Murray and Loucheiz Purifoy in an attempt to form an aggressive unit after finishing second last in the league with 11 interceptions last season.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The last five regular-season meetings between Ottawa and Saskatchewan have been decided by a combined eight points.

2. The Roughriders have won seven of their last eight regular-season games against East Division opponents.

3. Harris threw for 300 yards or more in 10 games last season.

PREDICTION: Roughriders 24, Redblacks 20

#3 ONZAWAY (ML=6/1)

ONZAWAY - Was in a $30,000 Maiden Claiming race at Churchill Downs last time around the track. That race had a class figure of 80 and she is moving down in this field. A certain solid contender. This thoroughbred could be close at the end. She's got a wonderful late kick.

Vulnerable Contenders: #4 EMMY SHIMMY (ML=5/2), #9 MUSHABOOM (ML=7/2), #5 FOREVERINYOURFAVOR (ML=5/1),

EMMY SHIMMY - No wager value on this one at the likely odds of 5/2. MUSHABOOM - This vulnerable equine will most likely be pulling up the rear as this group crosses the wire. FOREVERINYOURFAVOR - Couldn't close ground at all on May 25th. Hard to bet on this time around at the expected odds.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: The Turf Man - ONZAWAY - Having the highest speed figure at this distance and surface, this magnificent animal is the top contender in this route contest on the grass.

Putting our cash on #3 ONZAWAY to win. Have to have odds of at least 1/1 or better though

# 5 THAT'S A SONG 6/1

# 4 VINTON'S VIN GEAUX 7/2

# 2 D'WILD IRISH ROSE 6/1

THAT'S A SONG figures to be the bet in here. Morales will probably be able to get this filly to break out sharply for this event. Could best this group based on the Equibase Speed Figure - 65 - of her last outing. This filly has a good win percent in dirt sprint races. VINTON'S VIN GEAUX - Has very good speed figures and has to be considered for a wager here. The Equibase Speed Fig of 62 from her latest affair looks very strong in here. D'WILD IRISH ROSE - Could beat this group given the 65 Equibase speed fig recorded in her last outing. Might best this group of horses in this race here, showing strong figs of late.

# 4 YES SIREE 3/1

# 3 BOATS GILHOOLEY 12/1

# 7 BOY SCOUT 20/1

YES SIREE is my choice. There is a solid chance that this entry's late pace will improve on Lasix. The average class rating alone makes this entrant a definite contender. Recent figures for the jock - 17 win percent - make this colt stand out in this field. BOATS GILHOOLEY - Looks very good to be up near the front end at the first call. Has garnered reliable Equibase Speed Figures in dirt sprint races in the past.

#4 BELLIGERENT (ML=8/5)
#7 BLAZIN ON BY (ML=5/2)

BELLIGERENT - This filly is in nice physical condition. Finished third on Jun 2nd. Martin drops her down to this class. You don't need too much more from the horse's history to believe this animal should have a chance to win at this level. Ranks uppermost in EPS (earnings per start). A solid outing right here in this race can increase the lifetime earnings. The 70 latest race speed fig looks sound in the TrackMaster PPs. Ran a nice speed figure of 71 on May 12th. Followed it up with another Equibase speed figure of 70. Either effort is good enough to beat this field. BLAZIN ON BY - I am keen on that recent contest on May 27th at Golden Gate Fields where she ran fourth. Looking at today's class figure, this thoroughbred is encountering an easier field than in the last race at Golden Gate Fields. While the finish was disappointing, this race horse made a good stretch move last time out at Golden Gate Fields. Expect better in this event.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 MISSALMA (ML=9/2),

MISSALMA - Hasn't finished in the money in any short distance races of late. Doubtful to see her doing it this time around either.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - BLAZIN ON BY - Number one with a bullet (workout). This thoroughbred is going to top the charts today.

Bet on #4 BELLIGERENT to win if we can get at least 3/2 odds

Play on: Giants -131 at betonline

Free pick on Giants -
I like the value here with San Francisco at what I feel is a very short line given who they have on the mound. The Giants will turn to their ace Madison Bumgarner, who is one of the elite starting pitching talents in the game. Bumgarner missed the first 2+ months of the season and has posted a mere 4.67 ERA and 1.385 WHIP in his 3 starts since returning from the DL.
He didn't have his best stuff in his last outing at the Dodgers, but still only gave up 3 runs in 6 innings of work. He's only made one of his three starts at home and in that outing he allowed just 2 runs in 6 innings. Now that he's got his feet wet, it's only a matter of time before he's back to dominating the opposition. Either way, I like his chances of out-performing Padres starter Tyson Ross, who has a 4.41 ERA in his last 3 starts. San Diego is also just 7-19 in their last 26 road games vs a left-handed starer and 1-5 in Ross' last 6 starts during game 1 of a series. Take San Francisco!

10* FREE MLB PICK (Giants -131)
I'll take my chances here with San Francisco at home against the Padres on Thursday. I just feel like this is a great price to back the Giants at home with their ace Madison Bumgarner on the mound. This is now the fourth start for Bumgarner since returning from injury and while he hasn't been putting up Cy Young numbers, he's been rock solid so far and should only keep getting better. His best start also came at home (other two on the road) and that's another big reason why I like him to pitch well here. The other thing is the Giants are swinging a hot bat right now. They have scored 6 in each of their last 2 and no fewer than 4 over their last 4. Give me the Giants -131!
