      Jeff Siegel's Saratoga Analysis/Wagering Strategies - 8/21/20


      August 21, 2020
      Jeff Siegel’s Daily Analysis & Wagering Strategies
      Saratoga
      Friday, August 21, 2020
      *

      Specifically designed for the rolling exotic player, Jeff Siegel’s “Daily Analysis and Wagering Strategies” isolates those horses that should be included in daily doubles, pick-3s, pick-4s, pick-5s, and the pick-6.
      *
      It is recommended that Jeff’s selections be used to augment the reader’s own personal handicapping, though excellent results can be achieved by applying the rolling exotic strategy specified by Jeff’s analysis. Jeff’s recommended plays are intended for players with a moderate budget; however, readers are encouraged to adjust Jeff’s wagering strategy to fit their preferred investment level.
      *
      *
      Grade A=Highest degree of confidence.
      Grade B=Solid Play.
      Grade C=Least preferred, or pass.
      Grade X=probable winner but odds are not likely to offer wagering value.
      *
      The selections are available every racing day after morning scratches.
      *
      *

      RACE 1: Post 1:10 ET. Grade: B-
      Use: 1-The Golden Door; 6-Advanced Strategy; 7-Silver Token

      Forecast: State-bred older maidens sprint five and one-half furlongs on grass in the Friday opener, with Silver Token the one to beat after missing by a nose with a less-than-ideal trip over this course and distance last month. Comfortably placed outside, the Mizzen Mast gelding will have clear sailing while likely to enjoy a pace-stalking trip and have every chance to seal the deal from the quarter pole home. Advanced Strategy, a close fourth with no visible excuse in the same race ‘Token exits, adds Lasix for the first time so he has a right to produce a forward move in what will be just his third career start and his second off a long layoff. J. Rosario stays aboard and will produce him late. The Golden Door, a debuting Point of Entry colt from the D. Donk barn, shows a long series of moderate drills at Belmont Park but he actually looked quite good in a :10 1/5 breeze during the preview session of the 2019 OBS April sale, where he brought $90,000 through the ring. At 8-1 on the morning line in a race in which the favorites aren’t world beaters, he’s worth including somewhere on your ticket.
      *
      *
      RACE 2: Post 1:44 ET. Grade: B+
      Single: 5-The Angry Man

      Forecast: In a below average maiden special weight nine furlong event that drew just six runners, let’s take a stand and single The Angry Man. With rising speed figures in each of his four career starts and returning to the main track, the son of Summer Front could find himself as the controlling speed or at least in a pace-pressing position in a race with soft early fractions. With even a modest forward move, the 3-year-old gelding seems quite capable of earning his diploma, so at 9/5 on the morning line we’ll make him a win play and rolling exotic single.
      *
      *
      RACE 3: Post 2:20 ET. Grade: X
      Single: 6-Golden Pal

      Forecast: Golden Pal, an outstanding second (beaten a neck) in the Norfolk S.-G2 at Royal Ascot, returns to the States and is listed at 3/5 on the morning line despite the fact that he’s still a maiden after two starts. We doubt he’ll remain winless after today. By Uncle Mo from the sensational turf sprinting mare Lady Shipman, the W. Ward-trained colt is nicely drawn outside of six and can bust to the front or settle and stalk depending upon what his uncoupled stablemate, Fauci, decides to do while breaking just inside of him. In any case, we’re expecting ‘Pal to exert his superiority when it counts as a short priced, rolling exotic single.
      *
      *
      RACE 4: Post 2:54 ET. Grade: B
      Single: 8-Citizen K

      Forecast: Citizen K has done enough in the morning to indicate he’s fit and ready to win first crack out of the box in this state-bred juvenile sprint. The son of Mizzen Mast looks to have plenty of quickness, lands the cozy outside post, and in a field that doesn’t appear all that strong may be capable of taking control right from the start. At 5/2 on the morning line we’ll make him a win play and rolling exotic single.
      *
      *
      RACE 5: Post 3:30 ET. Grade: B-
      Use: 5-Unprecedented; 7-Standup; 9-My Man Flintstone

      Forecast: We’ll spread this starter’s allowance turf sprint going three-deep in our rolling exotics while preferring Standup on top. A late-running sprinter that will need good racing luck and some help up front, the Into Mischief gelding finished a strong third in a similar affair last month, retains J. Rosario, and should be capable of producing the last run. My Man Flintstone so far in his career has preferred to finish second (five times) rather than win but he’ll have clearing sailing with a pace-pressing journey from his outside draw and really won’t have to improve much to beat this field. His only prior grass sprint was trouble-filled so we suspect he’ll handle the surface switch just fine. Unprecedented was a close fourth in the same race Standup exits while earning a career top number and today switches to I. Ortiz, Jr., so we’ll toss him in as well.
      *
      *
      RACE 6: Post 4:06 ET. Grade: X
      Single: 6-Princesa Carolina

      Forecast: Princesa Carolina, a smart debut winner last fall and then a highly-respectable third in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf-G1, makes her sophomore debut in this first-level allowance affair and has trained well enough to pick up where she left off. The daughter of American Pharoah from the C. Brown barn (a superior 29% with layoff runners) has excellent tactical speed and should draft into a comfortable second flight, stalking position and then kick on with it when set down. J. Castellano remains aboard and knows her well, but at 6/5 on the morning line she’ll probably be too short to play other than as a single in rolling exotic play.
      *
      *
      RACE 7: Post 4:41 ET. Grade: B
      Use: 3-Jump for Joy; 4-I’ll Take the Cake

      Forecast: I’ll Take the Cake is a dangerous Florida shipper in this extended sprint for $40,000 claiming fillies and mares. She remains above her claim level for clever connections and though overmatched and well-beaten last time out can get back on track with a repeat of her race before last. An 11-time winner, the 6-year-old mare has had only two starts this year so she’s fresh and apparently spot on following a recent bullet half-mile workout (:47 2/5, fastest of 36) over the local main track. The barn’s “go to” rider, T. Gaffalione, takes the call. Jump for Joy moves up a notch following a solid win for $32,000 last month and in her present form the veteran mare should be set for another top effort. Always thoroughly genuine and consistent (first or second in 16 of 26 career starts), the daughter of Jump Start has the ideal stalking style for this extended sprint trip and with J. Ortiz staying aboard she should have every chance from a pace-forcing position.
      *
      *
      RACE 8: Post 5:14 ET. Grade: B
      Use: 4-Freewheeler; 8-Noble Emotion

      Forecast: Freewheeler, away since last November, won his debut over this course and distance so we know he can fire fresh and has done enough in the morning to have him fit enough in this abbreviated turf sprint for first-level state-bred allowance horses. The T. Pletcher barn has a superb record with comebackers (29%) so we’re expecting this son of City Zip to be difficult to deny, but at a very short price. For protection in your rolling exotics, you may want to consider another layoff runner, Noble Emotion, a first-time gelding making his first start since last fall. A smart juvenile maiden sprint winner at Belmont Park, the son of Noble Mission has good connections and a healthy if not flashy work tab. He could easily be a better type now than last year.
      *
      *
      RACE 9: Post 5:46 ET. Grade: B-
      Use: 3-Micromillion; 7-Kept Waiting

      Forecast: Kept Waiting was worn down right near the wire when a runner-up in a similar maiden special weight turf router here last month but at this slightly shorter trip the daughter of Broken Vow should be hard to beat. With other speed types drawn inside her, the M. Micelli-trained filly likely will settle into a stalking position and then have dead aim when it counts. Micromillion probably is the most dangerous of the closers and could step forward after finishing a willing runner-up in a maiden claimer here last month in her first start since February. Though she’s stepping up in class today, the T. Pletcher-trained filly is a fit on numbers and has hit the board in each of her five career starts.

                    Game 3 Odds: Raptors vs. Nets
                    Michael Crosson

                    The Eastern Conference first round matchup between No. 2 Toronto Raptors and No. 7 Brooklyn Nets will continue on Friday as the pair meet in an afternoon matinee from the NBA Bubble in Orlando.

                    The Raptors own a 2-0 lead and saying this is a must-win spot for the Nets is a serious understatement.

                    The second-seeded Toronto Raptors own a 2-0 series lead over the sixth seeded Brooklyn Nets, and have now shifted to 10.5-point favorites heading game three after laying nine and half points on the opening line, despite failing to cover in their game two win on Wednesday afternoon.

                    Game 1 carried an offensive explosion of 244 combined points, which was followed by a combined total of 203 points in Game 2. Oddsmakers decided to meet them in the middle for this contest, sending out the 'over/under' at 223 but early action on the ‘under’ has brought that line down to 220.5 total points at most books.

                    What started as an “extremely unlikely” line of +5000 for Brooklyn to advance to the second round, has turned into a “pretty impossible” line of +6000 heading into Game 3, as most books have indicated they have lost all of the little hope they had in Brooklyn heading into this series.

                    Spread: Toronto -10.5
                    Money-Line: Toronto -550, Brooklyn +425
                    Total: 220.5
                    Series Price: Toronto -25000, Brooklyn +60000

                    After allowing 134 points in Game 1, the Nets defense held the Raptors in 104 in Game 2 but still managed to lose the game. (AP)

                    Game 2 Recap

                    The Nets jumped out to an early lead in Game 2 on Wednesday afternoon behind a 10-point, five-assist, two-rebound first quarter performance from Caris LeVert, carrying his team to a five point advantage by the end of the quarter and taking a lead into the halftime break.

                    The second-half was a much different story though, as the best defensive team in the league (Toronto Defensive Rating – 104.7) showed their true colors down the stretch, holding Brooklyn to just 46 points after the break.

                    Toronto’s backcourt dominated on both sides of the floor in the second half, Fred Van Fleet and Kyle Lowry outscoring LeVert and Harris 26-12 in the final two stanzas, ultimately leading to Toronto’s 104-99 victory and a 2-0 series lead.

                    Outcome: Toronto 104 Brooklyn 99

                    Not a lot of sweat was dripping in Game 2 for bettors who backed both the underdog and the 'under' in this series. Toronto chasers were able to stop some of the bleeding with a fortunate second-half cover.

                    Game: Raptors Win, Nets Cover (+11.5), Under (226)
                    First Quarter: Nets Win (33-29) Nets Cover (+3.5), Over (57.5)
                    First Half: Nets Win (53-50), Nets Cover (+7), Under (115.5)
                    Second Half: Raptors Win (54-46), Raptors Cover (-7.5), Under (111)

                    Raptors Betting Outlook

                    Inside the Stats


                    Overall: 55-19 SU, 41-30-3 ATS, 36-35-2 O/U
                    Bubble: 9-1 SU, 7-3 ATS, 3-6-1 O/U

                    Unlike their wire-to-wire dominating performance in Game 1, Wednesday's matchup carried its hiccups for the Raptors as they struggled to get the offense going early and trailed for the majority of Wednesday’s contest.

                    There was never a glimpse of doubt in Coach Nick Nurse’s eyes though, as he was able to rally the troops in the second half to put out a remarkable display of defense, stifling the Nets to 19 points in the 4th quarter. Having to play that tight of defense is exhausting, especially over the course of the marathon the NBA playoffs tends to be for good teams.

                    Toronto needs to come out and punch Brooklyn in the mouth early in Game 3 and save some of its starters legs for the rounds to come.

                    Inside the Stats


                    Overall: 35-39 SU, 38-36 ATS, 37-37 O/U
                    Bubble: 5-5 SU, 7-3 ATS, 6-4 O/U

                    The betting outlook for the Nets at this point looks gloom to say the least, as they trail 2-0 and their starting shooting guard decided to pick up and leave the bubble on Thursday to attend to a non-medical related issue.

                    Aside from the two third quarters in this series, Brooklyn has been extremely underwhelming offensively, averaging just 24.5 points per quarter in the other six stanzas of this series.

                    Money is not safe in the Nets hands as a team on Friday afternoon, but it does set the stage for LeVert and Allen to have big games on the stat sheet, because somebody has to score/rebound, right?

                    SG Jamal Crawford: Hamstring - Out

                    Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong for the Nets as they are now really scraping the bottom of the barrel in their backcourt now down Irving, Dinwiddie, Crawford, and Harris. Look for Van Fleet and Lowry to have a field day as the Nets become even more short-handed than they were before at the guard position.

                      Game 3 Odds: Nuggets vs. Jazz
                      Michael Crosson

                      The NBA Playoffs first round action continues Friday afternoon with the No. 3 Denver Nuggets and No. 6 Utah Jazz tied at 1-1 in their opening series.

                      Betting Resources

                      Matchup: Western Conference Game 3

                      Date: Friday, Aug. 21, 2020

                      The Utah Jazz evened up their first round series with the Nuggets on Wednesday evening behind another spectacular performance from Donovan Mitchell. Despite a heartbreaking overtime loss in Game 1 countered by a dominant Game 2 victory, the Jazz are still one and a half point underdogs heading into Friday’s affair.

                      The ‘over’ has connected in two consecutive games to start the series between these two teams, and bettors are backing a change in pace heading into Game 2 as the total opened at 220, but has stooped down to 218.5 at most books as of Thursday morning.

                      This is one of the few first round series that still has some real betting value as the series is tied 1-1 and Denver (-160) enters Game 3 still the favorite over the Jazz (+140).

                      Spread: Denver -1.5
                      Money-Line: Denver -125, Utah +105
                      Total: 218

                      Donovan Mitchell and Utah exploded for 124 points in Game 2 yet they're still listed as underdogs to Denver in the series. (AP)

                      Game 2 Recap

                      Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets appear to be missing Will Barton and Gary Harris much more than they anticipated defensively, as all five of the Jazz starters tallied a field goal percentage over 50% on Wednesday, led by Mitchell who scored 30 points, knocking down six out of seven three-pointers.

                      Denver had absolutely no answer for Utah at any position on the floor and appeared to be completely disgruntled in every aspect in the 124-105 rout. Porter and Jokic had solid offensive performances, but it will never be enough if they allow 77 points over the two middle stanzas of a contest against a team that also has All-NBA defensive talent.

                      The Jazz shot 51% from the field and 45.5% from three-point land in Game 2 and the Nuggets are going to have to play much tighter D if they want to keep up with Utah in Game 3.

                      Outcome: Utah 124 Denver 105

                      We've seen plenty of wire-to-wire wins and covers in the NBA Playoffs and Game 2 of this series added to those outcomes. Utah exploded in the second and third quarters for a combined 77 points to lock up the game and winning tickets.

                      Game: Jazz Win, Jazz Cover (+3.5), Over (217.5)
                      First Quarter: Jazz Win (27-25), Jazz Cover (+.5), Under (54)

                      Nuggets Betting Outlook

                      Denver got exposed defensively in Game 2 as they allowed 124 points to the Jazz who are typically much more solid than that on that end of the floor.

                      Jamal Murray or somebody else in the Nuggets backcourt is going to have to step up and shadow Mitchell at all times on defense because they can not afford to let the Utah backcourt to shoot over 50% from the field and 45% from behind the arc for the rest of this series, or they are in trouble.

                      They key for the Nuggets heading into Game 3 MUST be containing Mitchell and keeping Utah’s team points total down to make Friday’s contest more competitive than their previous tilt.

                      Inside the Stats

                      Denver: 47-28 SU, 35-37-3 ATS, 40-34-1 O/U
                      Bubble: 4-6 SU, 5-5 ATS, 10-0 O/U

                      Jazz Betting Outlook

                      After losing in overtime on the shoulders of a 57-point performance from Utah’s superstar, 23-year old shooting guard, the Jazz were able to finally put it all together against Denver, dominating the Joker and company in Game 2 of this seven game set by a 19-point margin.

                      The Jazz had been on the cusp of knocking off the Nuggets for four straight games now, losing their first three regular season contests by a combined total of 11 points against Denver, then losing their first playoff matchup to them in overtime, making them 0-4 on they year against the Nuggets before Utah’s 124-105 win on Wednesday.

                      Utah got 56 combined points out of Mitchell and Jordan Clarkson in the backcourt in their Game 2 victory, and if they can tally a similar total to that on Friday, the Jazz should be in an ideal position to steal Game 3 as well.

                      Inside the Stats

                      Utah: 45-29 SU, 40-34-2 ATS, 40-34 O/U
                      Bubble: 4-6 SU, 5-5 ATS, 7-3 O/U

                      Key Injuries

                      Denver


                      SF Will Barton: Knee - Out
                      SG Gary Harris: Hip - Out
                      SF Vlatko Cancar: Foot - Out

                      PG Mike Conley: Not Injury Related - Out
                      PG Justin Wright-Foreman: Not Injury Related - Out
                      C Ed Davis: Knee - Out

                      Point-guard, Mike Conley hasn’t been sorely missed in his first two absences for the Jazz, as Clarkson has filled his role quite nicely, averaging 22 points off the bench in the first two games of Utah’s playoff run to accompany Mitchell’s highlight reel performances.

                      Barton and Harris are set to miss their third consecutive game of this series, as Denver’s defensive depth likely won’t improve heading into Friday.

                        Betting Odds - Celtics vs. 76ers

                        The Celtics opened as a 4.5-point favorite for Game 3 at PlayMGM but are five-point favorites pretty much everywhere as of Thursday evening. They were a six-point 'chalk' in Game 1 and closed favored by 4.5 in Wednesday's Game 2 and covered each time.

                        The total opened at 216 and has held steady at that figure as tip-off approaches. The new figure is closer to the Game 1 figure (217) than where it closed for Game 2's 128-101 Boston blowout (214).

                        Be sure to follow all the Game 3 line movements.

                        Game 2 Recap

                        The Celtics trailed by as many 14 points in the opening quarter before responding to cut into the deficit before ultimately ending up double-digits by halftime. Joel Embiid was able to have his way in the paint but the Sixers ran into trouble getting him the ball cleanly and then were overwhelmed by a barrage of 3-pointers.

                        Jayson Tatum finished with 33 points in leading five Boston players who scored in double-figures, setting a playoff scoring high for the second straight game. He shot for 8-for-12 from 3-point range as Boston finished 19-for-43 from beyond the arc, bolstered by the backups finishing 7-for-9. Boston led by as much as 28 points.

                        Head coach Brad Stevens credited his bench for the comeback. Celtics reserves outscored Philadelphia's 41-20 as Enes Kanter and Grant Williams combined for 19 points and 15 rebounds in providing a different look up front. Kanter frustrated Embiid and completely ouplayed Al Horford, who disappointed in finishing with just four points and two boards in 23 minutes off the bench.

                        With Gordon Hayward missing the first game in what's expected to be a month-long stint on the injured list due to a badly sprained ankle, Jaylen Brown and Kemba Walker got more looks and combined for 42 points despite shooting 3-for-13 from 3-point range. Marcus Smart started in Hayward's place and finished just 1-for-7 on 3-pointers. In other words, it could've been worse. Embiid led Philadelphia with 34 points and 10 rebounds. Josh Richardson added 18 points.

                        Overall: 50-24 SU, 43-27-4 ATS, 35-38-1 O/U
                        Bubble: 7-3 SU, 5-4-1 ATS, 5-4-1 O/U

                        It definitely helps the Celtics' cause that they're not being subjected to a venue change since they would ordinarily be traveling to Philadelphia for this Game 3 if the NBA playoffs weren't being held through a pandemic.

                        Boston has won five straight contests as a favorite in the bubble, last losing when it rested starters against Washington on Aug. 13. Boston's defense has helped hold opponents to 101 or fewer points in four of the last six contests. Tatum is averaging a team-best 32.5 points and nine boards through the first two games.

                        The 128-point Game 2 outburst matched the C's second-highest output in Orlando and snapped a run of three straight games to the low side. The 'under' had been 4-1 in matchups between the Celtics and 76ers this season prior to Game 2.

                        Bubble: 4-6 SU, 3-7 ATS, 6-4 O/U

                        Joel Embiid and the 76ers are 2-2 as the "home team" in the Orlando bubble. (AP).

                        Philadelphia hadn't lost at Wells Fargo in 2020 and went 29-2 in its building this season. Not being able to rebound from an 0-2 deficit in front of their sometime adoring fan base definitely hinders the Sixers' ability to bounce back without one of its All-Stars.

                        The 76ers are just 2-3 following losses in the bubble, dropping three of the last four. They had been on a 5-1 run straight up following setbacks prior to the coronavirus-related hiatus. Embiid is averaging 30 points and 13 boards through the first two games of the series.

                        The 'over' is on a 12-4 run in games involving Philadelphia, which has topped the century mark in 16 consecutive contests. The 76ers have managed just 101 points over the first two games of the series, their lowest scoring totals since Feb. 26. Philadelphia has surrendered 124 or fewer points in six of its 10 games in the bubble. It surrendered that many points only five times over their first 63 contests.

                        Gordon Hayward: Ankle - Out
                        Javonte Green: Knee - Questionable

                        Hayward sustained an ankle injury with three minutes remaining in Game 1 and is done for the foreseeable future. Since he was expected to leave the bubble to be present at the birth of a child some time in December, there's been talk that he'll try and tie his rehab in with paternity leave if possible.

                        Green came up on the injury report for this one due to a right knee sprain. Brown, who was listed as probable for Game 2 due to a right thigh contusion, has come off the report completely. Rookie Romeo Langford also is healthy enough to play and played nearly 23 minutes in Game 2 despite tearing ligaments in his wrist and participating in just a few seconds in the series opener.

                          Game 2 Recap

                          The Mavericks fell into an early hole in the series opener, but Dallas rallied back to take a three-point halftime lead. However, the Mavs struggled to score in the third quarter as Dallas lost to Los Angeles, 118-110.

                          Game 2 was a different story as the Mavs led again at halftime, but pulled away in the third quarter by outscoring the Clippers, 37-29. Dallas grabbed a 13-point victory as five-point underdogs to even up the series with Los Angeles. Luka Doncic posted a 42-point effort in Game 1, while scoring a team-high 28 points in Game 2. Kristaps Porzingis bounced back from being ejected in Game 1 to score 23 points in Game 2 for Dallas, as the Mavs shot 50% from the floor and knocked down 13 three-pointers.

                          Six Clippers scored in double-figures in Game 2, as Kawhi Leonard led the way with 35 points on 10-of-21 shooting. Paul George struggled from the floor by hitting 4-of-17 shots, including 2-of-10 from three-point range, while putting up 14 points. Los Angeles converted 30 free throws, but hit only 44% of its attempts from the floor, compared to 47% in the series opener.

                          Clippers Betting Outlook

                          Inside the Stats


                          Overall: 51-23 SU, 42-32 ATS, 35-38-1 O/U
                          Bubble: 6-4 SU, 7-3 ATS, 6-4 O/U

                          The Clippers had their three-game ATS hot streak snapped in Game 2, as Los Angeles has yet to suffer consecutive ATS losses in the bubble. L.A. had won five straight matchups with Dallas dating back to last season prior to Wednesday's loss, while the Clippers covered in all five of those contests.

                          Los Angeles is riding a five-game winning streak off a loss since late February, while all five of those victories came by double-digits.

                          Mavs Betting Outlook

                          Inside the Stats


                          Overall: 44-33 SU, 38-36-3 ATS, 46-31 O/U
                          Bubble: 4-6 SU, 3-7 ATS, 6-4 O/U

                          The Mavs have been one of the worst teams in the bubble from an ATS standpoint, but all three victories came outright in the underdog role. Dallas will be listed as a 'dog likely the rest of the series unless the Clippers have any significant injuries.

                          Rick Carlisle's team is 4-6 ATS since the All-Star break as an underdog, but the wins have come against the Clippers, Jazz, Bucks, and Nuggets.

                          Key Injuries

                          L.A. Clippers


                          Patrick Beverley: Calf (Doubtful)

                          Beverley scored eight points in Game 1, but missed Game 2 with a left calf strain. The Clippers' guard is listed as doubtful for Game 3, as Beverley sat out five games during the seeding round.

                          Dallas

                          Dwight Powell: Achilles (Out)
                          Jalen Brunson: Shoulder (Out)
