Delaware Park - Race #4 - Post: 2:45pm - Claiming - 8.5 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $17,000 Class Rating: 85

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#3 MARQ ONE (ML=5/1)
#1 GILGIMESH (ML=8/1)
#5 GEEBOP (ML=4/1)

MARQ ONE - Have to give this fine animal a good look. In recent races, has posted the best speed figures on the turf at this distance. Looking at today's class rating, this thoroughbred is up against an easier field than last out at Parx Racing. This horse has the class to win the race. A tactical ride by Rosado, and this one could bound home the winner. GILGIMESH - Possibly a peak effort for this colt today. Been getting closer with each recent start. You'll be generating profits right and left by turning your cash onto this jockey/conditioner combination. Jock jumped on this colt's back for the first try on June 21st. Should 'know' the horse even better in today's contest. GEEBOP - I like that most recent contest on June 18th at Delaware Park where he ran second. This gelding's last speed rating is strong enough to win here, I'll wager on him right back this time out. PP lines show this thoroughbred with three improving speed figs. Suarez should be on a live one today.

Vulnerable Contenders: #4 SIR DOUGLAS (ML=3/1), #6 DILUTEM (ML=6/1), #2 STAY AWESOME (ML=8/1),

SIR DOUGLAS - Difficult to put any cash on this gelding on the win end. Likes to hit the board though. DILUTEM - Looked like he was in good form on June 7th. Hasn't been near the track since then though. Not a positive sign. He only beat a maiden claiming field in the last event. Have to pass on this one versus winners for now. STAY AWESOME - Tough assignment for this thoroughbred to beat winners this time out after only defeating maiden claimers last race out.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Putting our cash on #3 MARQ ONE to win. Have to have odds of at least 3/1 or better though

Louisiana Downs - Race #1 - Post: 3:15pm - Claiming - 5.0 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $8,500 Class Rating: 73

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#7 TENTWELVEFOURTEEN (ML=4/1)
#1 SINGING DEACON (ML=2/1)

TENTWELVEFOURTEEN - Last time this gelding ran today's trip he got a speed rating that would probably win today's event. In this race here, this horse has clearly shown signs that he likes the grass. His speed ratings are the highest in the field for this distance and surface. This gelding is in excellent physical condition right now. Ended up third last out and comes back quickly. This gelding should be in top form, this far into his form cycle. Average class rating is tops in this bunch. I think that is a big advantage for a grass race. SINGING DEACON - This gelding was impressive in finishing third on a slow track on January 11th. A signal that he should do well against these ponies in his first turf try. Nice return on investment for this jockey and conditioner tandem. Failed to win as the public choice in his last start. Ran well considering the rating registered was good enough to make him one of the contenders in today's race. Have to like the way Hodges has raced this gelding back into shape off the layoff. Animal is well spotted in this sprint and I think he'll run well today.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 SAVED BY ZERO (ML=3/1), #4 THEBOYZDELIGHT (ML=7/2), #6 SOUTHERN CUSTOM (ML=8/1),

SAVED BY ZERO - Should have at least finished in the money in the last couple of months in a sprint event to be worth the chance at low odds in a sprint. All kinds of crazy zip signed up for this event. Little chance for this early speedball. THEBOYZDELIGHT - Tough to support any horse that runs as well as he did and then lays up and doesn't workout at all. All sorts of crazy early zip on board for this contest. No chance for this early speedball. SOUTHERN CUSTOM - The lack of workouts has to make one concerned despite the good performance in the last contest. Earned his best speed rating last time out, but the track conditions may have played a major role in the outcome. Hard to play this horse out of the Jun 20th race. Only faced maidens in that one.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: The Brain - TENTWELVEFOURTEEN - Took a drop in class last time out at Louisiana Downs. Stays at the same level today. Look for a strong performance.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Bet on #7 TENTWELVEFOURTEEN to win if you can get at least 3/2 odds

# 4 THUNDERS FURY 12/1

# 6 WISE SURPRISE 12/1

# 2 BLUE XANADU 8/1

THUNDERS FURY is my selection and the potential return justifies the dangerous nature of the long odds. The price should be just right on this horse. WISE SURPRISE - This animal has to be in sound condition coming back to the track so quickly. BLUE XANADU - Will probably go to the front end and might never look back.

# 5 GUSSIED UP 7/2

# 4 OUR GABRIELLE 4/1

# 3 THE BABE 5/2

GUSSIED UP has a decent shot to take this race. With Villagomez aboard her, this mare will almost certainly be able to break out early in this event. With a very strong 76 speed rating last time out, will definitely be a factor in this contest. She has garnered formidable figures under today's conditions and ought to fare well versus this group. OUR GABRIELLE - Should go off at a decent number and has some positives going for her. She should be considered given the formidable speed figures.

National League Parity
In the American League, there are three teams with a run differential of +116 or greater, including the defending champion Houston Astros with a mark of +188. There are also three teams with a run differential of -125 or more. In the National League, there isn't as much of a stark difference between the top and bottom teams.

There is just one team, the Chicago Cubs, with a run differential in positive triple digits (+105). There is also just one team with a run differential in negative triple digits, the Miami Marlins (-118). While there are some poor teams to fade, it's much tougher to pick your spots in the NL than it is in the AL. Even the last-place Reds are 39-51 (.433) overall, but they have a reasonable run differential of minus-34 and they have been great kryptonite to the aforementioned Cubs. In fact, the Reds have the second-most runs scored in the NL Central, and they're tied for fifth in the NL in runs. The only team to fade on a regular basis might be the Marlins, although a 19-26 mark at home and 18-29 mark on the road isn't really all that bad. And they're 5-5 over their past 10 outings, so...look at the AL. Baltimore (.270), Kansas City (.281) and the Chicago White Sox (.333) all have winning percentages lower than any club in the NL.

Looking Ahead

Monday, July 9
The two MLB teams from the Buckeye State square off in Cleveland on Monday, as the Reds and Indians meet. Anthony DeSclafani and Mike Clevinger will be the combatants. The Reds have dominated the American League Central over their past eight tries, going 7-1. They're also a respectable 14-6 over the past 20 outings, while also managing a 7-1 record over the past eight interleague outings. However, they're 1-4 in DeSclafani's past five starts in the first game of a new series, and they're 0-4 in their past four DeSclafani starts against the AL Central. The Indians have posted a 4-1 mark across the past five against right-handed starting pitchers, and they're 6-2 in the past eight against the NL Central. Cleveland has won 47 of their past 66 home games, while they're 7-1 in Clevinger's past eight home starts against teams with a losing overall record. They're also 10-4 in his past 14 home starts overall. The Reds haven't fared very well when travelling up Interstate 71 to Cleveland, going 5-16 over the past 21 meetings at Progressive Field, and 2-8 in the past 10 meetings overall.

A have and a have-not square off at Camden Yards in Baltimore, as the Yankees and Orioles will do battle in a doubleheader. In Game 2 it's a pitching matchup featuring Luis Cessa and Yefry Ramirez, so on the surface this feels like an 'over' wager. The Yankees are 1-8 in the second game of a doubleheader, and 2-5 in their past seven road outings against a right-handed starting pitcher. They're also just 3-8 in Cessa's past 11 starts, and 1-5 in his past six on the road. Baltimore is an impressive 11-1 over their past 12 second games of a doubleheader, but just 2-11 in the past 13 at home vs. RHP. Getting back to that total talk...the 'over' is 6-1 in the past seven meetings in Charm City, and 24-4 in the past 28 meetings overall.

In late-night action, there are more divisional battles. The Dodgers visit the Padres, and they're 14-5 in the past 19 road outings. They're also 42-19 in the past 61 road starts by Clayton Kershaw, while going 16-5 in the past 21 games vs. RHP. The Padres are 5-15 in their past 20 overall, and 5-17 in their past 22 vs. LHP. They're also 1-6 in Luis Perdomo's past seven outings. L.A. is 5-0 in the past five road starts by Kershaw in San Diego, and 20-6 in the past 26 meetings overall when Kershaw is on the hill.

In Houston, the A's and Astros square off. The A's are 6-1 in the past seven road games, and 9-2 in their past 11 vs. RHP. Oakland is also 16-5 in the past 21 overall. While they're 5-2 in Frankie Montas' past seven starts, the Astros are even more impressive with Gerrit Cole. They're 15-2 in Cole's past 17 starts on grass, 5-0 in his past five at home and 6-0 in his past six vs. AL West foes.

Weather Report
The Phillies and Mets square off at Citi Field, and while there is no chance of precipitation, wind will be an issue. The wind will be blowing fiercely from 13-15 mph from home plate to the left-center field power alley. The same holds true for the Rangers-Red Sox battle in Boston, with the wind gusting from 12-15 mph straight at the Green Monster. Other than that, weather and wind will not be an issue across the MLB.

Tuesday, July 10
The Diamondbacks and Rockies will renew acquaintances on Tuesday at Coors Field. Arizona has ticked off wins in seven of their past eight road outings, while going 7-2 in the past nine road outings against teams with a losing home record. However, they're just 2-5 in the past seven against the NL West, and 6-20 in their past 26 against teams with a winning record. They're also just 1-4 in their past five with LHP Patrick Corbin on the hill against teams with a winning overall record, and 3-9 in his past 12 road outings against a team with a winning record. Colorado has won five of the past six overall, four of their past five vs. LHP and 6-1 in their past seven vs. NL West opponents. The Rox have also won seven of their past nine at Coors. Arizona has dominated this series of late, especially with Corbin on the bump. Arizona has won eight straght meetings at Coors Field, and 13 of the past 16 meetings overall. They're also 13-3 in the past 16 starts by Corbin against Colorado, including 5-2 in Corbin's past seven starts in Denver.

The Mariners and Angels will kick off a series on Tuesday in Anaheim. Seattle is on a tear, winning four in a row on the road and five of their past six against AL West opponents. And, for what it's worth, they're 9-2 in their past 11 appearances on Tuesday. More importantly, they're 6-0 in Mike Leake's past six road outings, and 9-2 in his past 11 outings overall. The Halos have won just once in the past five inside the division, but they're 9-4 in the past 13 at home while also going 9-4 in the past 13 at home vs. RHP. Seattle has won five of the past six meetings overall, and the 'over' is 5-2-1 in the past eight meetings overall. The 'over' is also 5-2-1 in the past eight meetings in SoCal.

Weather Report
In Queens, the wind will be blowing out from home plate to straightaway center field at 10-13 mph. In Cleveland, it will be the exact opposite, as winds will aid the pitchers. A wind of 12-15 mph will be blowing straight into the face of the batters from center field. There will be no precipitation threats again on Tuesday, but San Francisco is the winner for the biggest trouble spot. Well, it's trouble if you're a pitcher. The winds will be gusting from 16-20 mph from home plate to straightaway center field, making for a potentially long (or really short) night for the pitchers.

New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles Preview and Predictions 07-09-2018 in MLB

Yankees vs. Orioles Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/08/2018

The Baltimore Orioles are losers of six straight and 13 of their last 14 as they get set to host the powerhouse New York Yankees in a traditional doubleheader on Monday. The Orioles own the worst record in the majors at 24-65 and are in the midst of a stretch of 14 games in 13 days heading into the All-Star break.

Baltimore averaged two runs during its just-completed six-game road trip and is reportedly fielding offers for the team's best hitter and its only All-Star, shortstop Manny Machado. Machado recorded two of the team's seven hits during Sunday's 10-1 loss at Minnesota and is batting .313 with 21 homers despite dealing with the trade rumors. The Yankees have plenty of players capable of providing instant offense in their lineup but managed to avoid a series loss on Sunday by playing small ball, with a sacrifice bunt putting a runner in scoring position ahead of Brett Gardner's RBI single in the 10th inning of a 2-1 win at Toronto. New York remains two games behind the Boston Red Sox in the American League East and will send CC Sabathia and Luis Cessa to the mound on Monday opposite righties Jimmy Yacabonis and Yefry Ramirez in a straight doubleheader beginning at 4:05 p.m.

TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, YES (New York), MASN (Baltimore)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees LH CC Sabathia (6-3, 3.02 ERA) vs. Orioles RH Jimmy Yacabonis (0-0, 8.53)

Sabathia allowed three earned runs or fewer in each of his last seven starts and is coming off a win over Atlanta on Wednesday in which he scattered two runs and five hits across six innings. The 37-year-old tossed a season-high 103 pitches against the Braves and issued three walks while striking out five. Sabathia did not last as long against Baltimore at home on April 6, when he was reached for three runs - all solo homers - in four innings before leaving with hip soreness.

Yacabonis is being called up for the fourth time this season and is set to make his second start after getting the nod against Seattle on June 28. The 26-year-old lasted four innings in that outing and was charged with two runs on six hits while striking out five in four innings. Yacabonis owns a 3-2 record with a 2.91 ERA in 14 starts for Triple-A Norfolk this season.

WALK-OFFS

1. Yankees LH Aroldis Chapman (knee tendinitis) - named to the AL All-Star team with teammates RF Aaron Judge, RHP Luis Severino and 2B Gleyber Torres - left Saturday's game and was not used in a save situation on Sunday.

2. Baltimore RHP Alex Cobb left in the sixth inning on Sunday with an apparent injury to his throwing hand.

3. New York OF Aaron Hicks (left leg) was held out of the lineup on Sunday and is day-to-day.

PREDICTION: Yankees 7, Orioles 2

Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Mets Preview and Predictions 07-09-2018 in MLB

MLB Previews 8th July 2018 by Gracenote
Phillies vs. Mets Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/08/2018

The New York Mets have been shut out in back-to-back contests for the second time this season and own a disastrous 3-17 mark in their last 20 contests at Citi Field. The uphill climb for the Mets is a steep one on Monday as they encounter two stingy pitchers in a doubleheader to begin a four-game series against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies.

Philadelphia's Zach Eflin enters the opener with a 6-0 mark and 1.91 ERA in his last six outings, while fellow right-hander Aaron Nola - the probable starter for the nightcap - is 5-0 in his last seven trips to the mound. The surging Phillies saw their six-game winning streak halted in Pittsburgh on Sunday, with Nick Williams going deep in a 4-1 setback to mark the second time he's homered in the last four games. Brandon Nimmo led off the seventh inning with a single in Sunday's 9-0 setback to Tampa Bay to give him four hits to go along with six walks and four runs scored in his last five games. The Mets will look to channel the success they had against the Phillies when the National League East rivals met earlier this season, winning three of four contests after being rained out on April 2 and again on May 12.

TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, NBCS Philadelphia, SNY (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Zach Eflin (7-2. 2.97 ERA) vs. Mets RH Zack Wheeler (2-6, 4.36)

Eflin's pinpoint control has been the calling card during his six-start winning streak, as he has struck out 34 batters against just six walks in 37 2/3 innings. The 24-year-old has struggled in three career appearances versus New York, posting an 0-2 mark while surrendering three homers in 16 1/3 frames. Eflin has flustered Asdrubal Cabrera (0-for-9), although Jose Reyes is 3-for-7 with a trio of doubles against the hurler.

Wheeler received his second straight no-decision despite two sterling starts, as he scattered five hits over seven scoreless innings versus Pittsburgh on June 27 before allowing two runs on three hits in 6 1/3 frames at Toronto on Tuesday. Offensive support hasn't been a friend to the 28-year-old, who owns an 0-4 mark in his last 11 outings despite registering a 3.76 ERA. Cesar Hernandez is 5-for-8 in his career versus Wheeler, who in turn has flustered Maikel Franco (0-for-5).

WALK-OFFS

1. NL East-leading Philadelphia is just 15-17 against division representatives.

2. New York is mired in a 14-series stretch without winning one.

3. Phillies CF Odubel Herrera went 5-for-13 with a homer, four RBIs and two runs scored in his last three games after going 2-for-37 with nine strikeouts in his previous nine.

PREDICTION: Phillies 4, Mets 2

Washington Nationals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Preview and Predictions 07-09-2018 in MLB

Nationals vs. Pirates Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/08/2018

The Washington Nationals saw their offense receive a jolt after a players-only meeting last week, erupting for 35 runs during a three-game winning streak before dropping the series finale against Miami. The Nationals look to rebound on Monday as they begin a seven-game road trip before the All-Star break with the opener of a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Washington scored 27 runs en route to posting a four-game sweep of Pittsburgh earlier this season, with the latter going 3-for-22 with runners in scoring position in the series. Daniel Murphy didn't play in that series, but drove in a pair of runs in Sunday's 10-2 setback to the Marlins as he slowly works himself back since returning from the disabled list in mid-June. The Pirates snapped a five-game skid with a 4-1 triumph over Keystone State-rival Philadelphia on Sunday. Starling Marte is a robust 9-for-16 with a homer, four RBIs and three runs scored during his four-game hitting streak, although he went 2-for-12 with four strikeouts in the previous series against Washington.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, ESPN, MASN2 (Washington)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH Jefry Rodriguez (0-0, 5.52 ERA) vs. Pirates RH Ivan Nova (4-6, 4.48)

Rodriguez will see his first action since retiring all three batters he faced in relief in Washington's wild 14-12 victory over Miami on Thursday. The 6-6 Dominican's last start ended after four innings against Philadelphia, versus which he permitted four runs and walked three batters in a no-decision on June 24. Rodriguez pitched well in his lone career road outing, scattering four hits on 4 2/3 scoreless relief innings at Atlanta on June 3.

Nova surrendered a franchise-worst five homers and seven runs total in Tuesday's 8-3 setback to the Los Angeles Dodgers. "It's not fun when you're giving up that many homers," the 31-year-old Dominican said. "Sometimes you give up that many runs, and you don't feel that bad. Giving up five homers, it's just too much." Nova, who owns a 4.91 ERA and 1.86 WHIP in four career starts versus Washington, was blitzed for eight runs (five earned) in 4 2/3 innings of a 9-3 loss to the Nationals on May 2.

WALK-OFFS

1. Pittsburgh RF Gregory Polanco has hit safely in nine of his last 11 games.

2. Nationals SS Wilmer Difo was 7-of-11 with a homer, four walks and three RBIs in the previous series with the Pirates.

3. Washington is a perfect 7-0 against NL Central representatives while Pittsburgh is just 5-12 versus the NL East.

PREDICTION: Nationals 5, Pirates 2
