Indians vs. Astros Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 10/04/2018

Two former Cy Young Award winners who finished the regular season strong prepare to face dangerous lineups when the Cleveland Indians visit the Houston Astros on Friday for Game 1 of the American League Division Series. Cleveland's Corey Kluber was unbeaten in his last six starts and went 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA against Houston this year while Justin Verlander gave up four runs across 33 innings in September for the Astros.

The Indians eased to their third straight AL Central title, stringing three 90 plus-win seasons together (91 in 2018) for the first time since 1999-2001, and defending World Series champion Houston set a franchise record with 103 victories. "They have an outstanding ball club," Cleveland outfielder-second baseman Jason Kipnis told the Plain Dealer. ". ... I think it's going to be one of the most evenly matched series in the first round. In terms of pitching staffs, we line up with them. In terms of lineup we line up with them. It's going to be a lot of fun." Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor launched 38 homers in the regular season, but went 3-for-31 against the Astros, while Cleveland slugger Edwin Encarnacion was 9-for-26 versus Houston with two of his 32 blasts. Jose Altuve, who batted .300 for the fifth straight year (.315, 2018), was a robust 15-for-32 against the Indians during the regular season and Alex Bregman went 8-for-31 with two of his career-best 31 homers.

TV: 2:05 p.m. ET, TBS

PITCHING MATCHUP: Indians RH Corey Kluber (20-7, 2.89 ERA) vs. Astros RH Justin Verlander (16-9, 2.52)

Kluber did not pitch well in the playoffs last season, giving up nine runs over 6 1/3 innings, but was outstanding in 2016 during the Indians' run to the World Series (4-1, 1.83 ERA). The 32-year-old Alabama native won his final four decisions in the regular season, recording a 2.80 ERA during that six-game stretch to reach 20 victories for the first time and strike out at 200 for the fifth straight year (222, 2018). Marwin Gonzalez is 9-for-20 with a pair of homers versus Kluber, who is 6-3 with a 2.83 ERA in 10 career appearances (nine starts) against Houston.

Verlander went 3-0 with a 1.09 ERA in five September starts after struggling a bit in August while registering a 5.29 ERA in six outings. The 35-year-old Virginia native, who struck out a career high 290 batters this season without facing the Indians, went 4-1 with a 2.21 ERA during Houston's run to the World title in 2017 and is 11-6 with a 3.07 ERA lifetime in the postseason. Jose Ramirez is 11-for-27 with three doubles and two homers against Verlander, who is 4-7 with a 2.84 ERA at home this season while giving up 19 of his 28 homers at Minute Maid Park.

WALK-OFFS

1. Houston 1B Yuli Gurriel, who batted .291 this season overall, was 23-for-56 with 15 RBIs while hitting safely in 13 of his last 14 contests.

2. Cleveland LF Michael Brantley ended the regular season with a nine-game hitting streak and batted .341 in September to finish at .309 overall.

3. The Indians lost four of the first five in the season series this year - two of three at Houston - but scored 18 runs in winning the last two in late May.

PREDICTION: Indians 4, Astros 3

New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox Preview and Predictions 10-05-2018 in MLB

Yankees vs. Red Sox Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 10/04/2018

The Boston Red Sox set a franchise record for wins during the regular season and ran away with the American League East, but the New York Yankees will not be intimidated. The bitter rivals will meet in the postseason for the first time since 2004 when the Yankees visit the Red Sox for Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Friday.

New York won 100 games during the regular season but still needed to survive the one-game wild card playoff on Wednesday, beating the Oakland Athletics 7-2 to earn a trip to Fenway Park. "I think they can't wait," Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters of his players. "I think they're ready and relish the opportunity to go up against the game's best this year. And obviously we're very familiar with them. We know how good they are. I mean, we know we have to play our best if we're going to have a chance to beat them." Boston (108-54), which will start ace Chris Sale opposite New York lefty J.A. Happ in Game 1, led the majors in runs scored (876) and batting average (.268) behind MVP candidates Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez but is most concerned with keeping the opposing offense off the scoreboard. "We have to keep them in the ballpark," Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters. "That's the most important thing. I think from top to bottom they can hit the ball out of the ballpark. It's a tough lineup. Like I've been saying, there's heat maps. There's red and there's blue. We have to pitch to blue. If we do that, we're going to be in good shape."

TV: 7:32 p.m. ET, TBS

PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees LH J.A. Happ (17-6, 3.65 ERA) vs. Red Sox LH Chris Sale (12-4, 2.11)

Happ went 7-0 with a 2.69 ERA in 11 starts after being acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays and closed strong with a 1.86 ERA in five September outings. The Northwestern product went 1-1 with a 1.99 ERA in four starts against Boston this season but was not as effective at Fenway Park, where he surrendered nine runs - four earned - and nine hits over 9 2/3 total innings. Happ last pitched in the postseason with the Blue Jays in 2016 and is 1-1 with a 3.72 ERA in 10 career playoff games - three starts.

Sale spent September trying to build up his pitch count and strengthen his shoulder after two trips to the disabled list and struggled in his last two outings, allowing a total of five runs and nine hits across eight innings. The Florida native made his postseason debut in 2017 and struggled in two appearances - one start - against Houston in the ALDS, going 0-2 while surrendering nine runs and 13 hits - four homers - over 9 2/3 total innings. Sale had little trouble against the Yankees in 2018 and struck out 19 while yielding one run in 13 innings over two starts.

WALK-OFFS

1. New York set a major league record for home runs during the regular season (267) and added two more in Wednesday's wild card win.

2. The Red Sox will start LHP David Price in Game 2 and RHP Rick Porcello in Game 3 while the Yankees counter with RHP Masahiro Tanaka in Game 2 and have yet to announce a Game 3 starter.

3. Boston lost in the Division Series in each of its last two trips to the postseason and is 1-6 in seven playoff games since winning the 2013 World Series.

PREDICTION: Red Sox 4, Yankees 2

Colorado Rockies vs. Milwaukee Brewers Preview and Predictions 10-05-2018 in MLB

Rockies vs. Brewers Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 10/05/2018

The Milwaukee Brewers look to continue their scorching-hot play when they host the Colorado Rockies on Friday for Game 2 of the best-of-five National League Division Series. Mike Moustakas delivered a walk-off single in Thursday's 3-2, 10-inning victory as Milwaukee posted its ninth straight victory and 24th in 31 contests.

Leading NL MVP candidate Christian Yelich hit a two-run homer and scored the winning run after the Brewers let a 2-0 lead slip away in the ninth inning. "Obviously, we would have liked to win in that situation, but you regroup as a team," Yelich told reporters. "You kind of take a deep breath. 'All right, now we've just got to find a way to push one across.' And we were able to do that and just came up with a huge hit. That's been the theme of our team all year." The Rockies recorded just one hit over the first eight innings before forging a tie, and manager Bud Black saw the rally as something on which to build entering Game 2. "That's sort of the characteristic of this group, that they play hard," Black told reporters after the contest. "I know it's overplayed a little bit, but this group truly plays hard, and it's awesome. It's awesome to see."

TV: 4:15 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rockies LH Tyler Anderson (7-9, 4.55 ERA) vs. Brewers RH Jhoulys Chacin (15-8, 3.50)

Anderson wasn't a lock to receive a postseason start until he scattered four hits over 7 2/3 scoreless innings against Washington on Sunday to snap a 13-start winless streak during which he went 0-6. "I went through some struggles, but everyone does at some point or another," Anderson said in his press conference. "I was just happy that I was healthy, and I knew if I felt good and I stayed healthy and strong, I could find a way to fix it." The 28-year-old Anderson was torched for seven runs and seven hits - three homers - over four innings in a loss to Milwaukee on Aug. 4 and is 1-2 with an 8.59 ERA in three career matchups.

Chacin pitched in Monday's tiebreaker game against the Chicago Cubs and allowed one run on one hit - a homer - in 5 2/3 innings before departing. The 30-year-old is 2-1 with a 3.32 ERA in four career starts against the Rockies and termed it a blessing to pitch in the postseason against the organization for which he pitched from 2009-14. "Pretty much all the guys there are all my friends still, and pretty much all the coaches, too," Chacin said in his press conference. "It's special that I'm going to have the opportunity to pitch against them in the postseason, just happy that I'm going to have a chance to pitch against the Colorado Rockies."

WALK-OFFS

1. Yelich reached base four times - homer, single and two walks - and stole a base in his postseason debut on Thursday.

2. Colorado SS Trevor Story struck out three times in four hitless at-bats in the series opener after batting .333 with seven homers and 18 RBIs in seven regular-season games against Milwaukee.

3. Moustakas has registered six home runs and 16 RBIs in 32 career postseason contests.

Atlanta Braves vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Preview and Predictions 10-05-2018 in MLB

Braves vs. Dodgers Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 10/05/2018

The Los Angeles Dodgers led the National League and finished second in the majors in homers this season, and they enter Game 2 of the NL Division Series at home Friday against the Atlanta Braves after an impressive power display in the series opener. The Dodgers slugged homers in each of the first two innings to build a four-run lead and finished the night with three blasts, as the defending NL champions posted a 6-0 victory over Atlanta in Game 1 on Thursday.

The Braves are in the playoffs for the first time in five years and have to quickly forget a forgettable start from ace Mike Foltynewicz, who allowed a leadoff homer to Joc Pederson in the first before a hit batsman and walk set up Max Muncy's three-run shot with two outs in the second. Los Angeles, an overwhelming favorite to win the series and advance to the NL Championship Series, never was threatened as starter Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched seven innings and saved the Dodgers' bullpen. Enrique Hernandez added a solo homer as the Dodgers, who finished the regular season with 235 homers, have belted 31 in their past 16 games. About the only positive for the Braves was the performance of left-handers Sean Newcomb and Max Fried, who combined to strike out three and allow one hit in 3 1/3 scoreless innings after Foltynewicz lasted just two innings.

TV: 9:37 p.m. ET, FS1

PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves RH Anibal Sanchez (7-6, 2.83 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Clayton Kershaw (9-5, 2.73)

Sanchez makes his eighth career postseason appearance (seventh start), continuing a remarkable season in which he was signed by the Braves in spring training and recovered from a hamstring injury to help anchor Atlanta's youthful rotation. The 34-year-old, who is 2-4 with a 2.79 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP in the playoffs, held left-handed batters to a .191 average in the regular season and went 5-2 with a 2.67 ERA in 13 road starts. Sanchez went 1-1 in two starts against the Dodgers, giving up two runs on three hits in 5 1/3 innings at Los Angeles to get the win on June 9.

Some were surprised when the Dodgers started Hyun-Jin Ryu in the series opener, but even though Kershaw allowed three runs or more three times in six starts in September, he finished the month 3-0 with a 3.89 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. The 30-year-old makes his 20th career postseason start, and in 24 overall games is 7-7 with a 4.35 ERA with 139 strikeouts in 122 innings. Kershaw beat the Braves in his only start against them in 2018, striking out eight with no walks and one run allowed in 7 2/3 innings on July 27 in Atlanta.

WALK-OFFS

1. Muncy, who hit five homers in 96 games across two seasons in Oakland, belted 35 this season and has three homers and nine RBIs in his past four games.

2. Atlanta 1B Freddie Freeman, the only position player left from the 2013 playoff team, singled in the first inning of Game 1.

3. Dodgers RHP Walker Buehler - who won the NL West tiebreaker Monday - will start Game 3 in Atlanta on Sunday, while the Braves have not announced a starter.

PREDICTION: Dodgers 3, Braves 1

Carolina Hurricanes vs. Columbus Blue Jackets Preview and Predictions 10-05-2018 in NHL

NHL Previews 5th October 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 10/05/2018

Two Metropolitan Division rivals return to the ice less than 24 hours after participating in overtime contests when the Carolina Hurricanes visit the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday. Carolina forced the extra session in its season opener on Thursday but dropped a 2-1 decision at home to the New York Islanders while Columbus began its campaign with a 3-2 triumph in Detroit.

Jordan Staal earned a point for the Hurricanes by scoring with 1:35 remaining in the third period, but Petr Mrazek allowed a goal 43 seconds into overtime as the team came up short in Rod Brind'Amour's coaching debut. Carolina registered 46 shots in the setback as each of its 18 skaters recorded at least one, with 2018 second overall draft pick Andrei Svechnikov notching three in his NHL debut. Artemi Panarin was the hero in Columbus' victory as he helped set up Cam Atkinson's power-play goal in the first period before scoring 2:11 into overtime. The 26-year-old Russian led the Blue Jackets in tallies (27), assists (55) and points last season, setting career highs in the latter two categories in his first campaign with the club.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NHL Network, FS Carolinas, FS Ohio (Columbus)

ABOUT THE HURRICANES (0-0-1): Svechnikov saw 11 minutes, 48 seconds of ice time on 18 shifts against New York as the 18-year-old was one of six players to appear in their first game with Carolina. Another was defenseman Dougie Hamilton, who recorded an assist after being acquired along with Micheal Ferland from Calgary in June. Veteran Justin Williams, who has missed a total of three games over his last seven seasons, began his tenure as team captain on Thursday and posted a plus-1 rating in nearly 19 minutes of action.

ABOUT THE BLUE JACKETS (1-0-0): Atkinson scored in his fifth consecutive season opener, becoming the 11th player in NHL history to accomplish the feat while coming within one of the record set by Detroit's Mud Bruneteau from 1940-45 and matched by Montreal's Yvan Cournoyer from 1973-78. Anthony Duclair, who was signed to a one-year contract in July after splitting last season between Arizona and Chicago, recorded an assist and a plus-1 rating in his team debut on Thursday. Defenseman Zach Werenski led Columbus in the season opener with seven shots while Brandon Dubinsky notched an assist and went 12-4 on faceoffs.

OVERTIME

1. Blue Jackets G Sergei Bobrovsky is expected to start on Friday after Joonas Korpisalo made 18 saves in the season-opening victory.

2. Hurricanes G Curtis McElhinney, who posted a 26-33-8 record and two shutouts with the Blue Jackets from 2013-17, may make his team debut after being claimed off waivers from Toronto on Tuesday.

3. Columbus D Scott Harrington (upper-body) began the season on injured reserve after being injured in a preseason game on Sept. 28.

San Jose Sharks vs. Los Angeles Kings Preview and Predictions 10-05-2018 in NHL

Sharks vs. Kings Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 10/04/2018

The San Jose Sharks will try to shrug off a dull effort with their shiny new toy Friday night when they visit the Los Angeles Kings, who play their season opener. San Jose lost to Anaheim 5-2 on Wednesday night, kicking off a campaign filled with high expectations as two-time Norris Trophy winning defenseman Erik Karlsson was a minus-2 in his club debut.

"We did a lot of good things," Sharks coach Peter DeBoer told reporters. "The result wasn't there, and I know everyone is disappointed. Everyone wants to start out with a great win in front of our home crowd. We did a lot of good things, but obviously there are some areas we need to clean up too. It's that time of year. You get to know your team. ..." Los Angeles' roster features nine players 30 years or older after the signing of Ilya Kovalchuk, 35, who scored 417 goals in the NHL from 2001-2013 before scoring 138 over the last five-plus seasons in the Kontinental Hockey League. "He really wants to win," Kings president Luc Robitaille told the Los Angeles Times about Kovalchuk, who is 18th all-time at 0.51 goals per game. "That's very important. He has an opportunity to be one of the few guys in sports that can be in the triple gold club (having won) the world championships, Olympics (gold) and a Stanley Cup. He's hungry to have an opportunity. The hole he's going to fill, he can really help us win. But at the same time, he can be himself and play his game." Kovalchuk skated on a line in preseason centered by Anze Kopitar, a finalist for the 2018 Hart and Selke trophies who recorded career highs of 35 goals and 92 points last season.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, NBCS California (San Jose), FS West (Los Angeles)

ABOUT THE SHARKS (0-1-0): Antti Suomela made his NHL debut Wednesday, centering the third line with Evander Kane and Joonas Donskoi on the wings, with Kane scoring San Jose's first goal of the season. Joe Thornton played his first game since Jan. 23 and the 39-year-old, who shaved his signature bushy beard, played 17 minutes, 42 seconds and won 5 of 7 faceoffs. Martin Jones, who is 9-3-2 with a 2.06 goals-against average and .931 save percentage versus the Kings (his former team), is expected to start in goal with DeBoer telling reporters: "You know what, we'll see. I haven't made any decisions yet, but my gut would say, we're going into L.A., I'm assuming he's going to play."

ABOUT THE KINGS (2017-18: 45-29-8): Los Angeles hopes for a healthy season from Jeff Carter (352 career goals), who played only 27 games last season and scored 13 goals after averaging 27.4 over the previous five campaigns. Drew Doughty (422 points, plus-94 in 770 career games), who won the 2016 Norris and was a finalist last season, returns to spearhead a defense that also highlights Alec Martinez. Two-time Stanley Cup champion goaltender Jonathan Quick, 32, is 15-11-5 with a 2.52 GAA and .910 save percentage in 33 games versus the Sharks - 1-2, 1.70, .944 in three contests last season.

OVERTIME

1. Kings RW Dustin Brown (28 goals, 61 points in 2017-18), who joined Kopitar and Kovalchuk on the top line during the preseason, is out indefinitely after breaking a finger in a preseason game versus Anaheim on Saturday.

2. The addition of Karlsson (NHL-most 518 points among defensemen since joining league in 2009-10) figures to eventually help the Sharks' power play, which went 0-for-3 on Wednesday after struggling in the preseason.

3. Both teams were eliminated by Vegas in the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs with the Kings getting swept in the first round and the Sharks going down in six games in the Pacific Division final.

UPPERVILLE - I checked out this horse's past performances and he doesn't do well as the public's top choice and is likely to be favored today. This entrant likes to be in the money, but doesn't usually get the job done. Forget the top spot. GATTOSING - Hard to put any money on this gelding on the win end. Likes to finish in the money though. MEISTER'S SONG - Finished first in his most recent effort with a mediocre speed fig. When I look at today's Equibase class figure, it would take an improved performance to win after that in this field.

Keeneland - Race #2 - Post: 1:39pm - Maiden Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $21,000 Class Rating: 76

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#3 HOPTOWN HONEY (ML=7/2)

HOPTOWN HONEY - This filly is in good condition. Finished second on September 14th. This is a fairly classic handicapping angle. Play a racer that finished runner up in a maiden race last time out but finished well ahead of the show horse. The 74 last race speed rating looks good in the TrackMaster PPs.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 RIESLING (ML=5/2), #7 CASTLE RIDGE (ML=6/1), #4 PURE SUGAR (ML=8/1),

RIESLING - This filly hasn't had any recent good fortune in sprint races. Difficult to bet on her in this event. CASTLE RIDGE - Hard to bet on at 6/1 odds after the last two efforts. No accomplishments for this less than sharp equine in a sprint race over the last 60 days tells me that this filly is in a thorny circumstance PURE SUGAR - This filly finished out of the money on May 13th and wasn't close to victory in the last race either.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:
#3 HOPTOWN HONEY is going to be the play if we are getting 1/1 or better

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
The Walker Group Picks

# 7 JB VALENTINO 4/1

# 3 THIS FLIGHT IS EASY 5/2

# 5 DALTS LOCKED NLOADED 6/1

I think JB VALENTINO is a very strong choice. Garnered a very good speed figure last time out. Baumann has this gelding running well and is a solid pick based on the strong speed figures recorded in short races recently. THIS FLIGHT IS EASY - In fine fettle, and coming back soon again today. He should be carefully examined given the strong speed figs. DALTS LOCKED NLOADED - Win percentage under similar conditions may be the key for this filly. Very solid rider with conditioner figures make this horse a sharp pick.
