Handicapped by The Turf Club Analysts

Charles Town - Race #3 - Post: 7:57pm - Maiden Claiming - 4.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $17,000 Class Rating: 62

Rating:

#4 BANNER MAN (ML=9/2)


BANNER MAN - Don't often see a favorable return on investment like +54. This rider/conditioner twosome has done well together over the last 12 months. Peltroche rode this horse for the first time last time out and comes right back this time around. Have to make this gelding a strong challenger; he comes off a nice contest on December 18th.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 OFFICER UNBRIDLED (ML=3/5), #7 JACKLIGHTING (ML=5/1),

OFFICER UNBRIDLED - Can't bet on this entrant in today's sprint of 4 1/2 furlongs. Hasn't even finished in the money in a short distance contest of late. JACKLIGHTING - The very long layoff since Jun 12th is somewhat discouraging. The Brain always cautions me to stay away from horses in sprint contests that haven't finished in the money in short distance contests of late. When looking at today's class rating, he will have to register a much better speed rating than last time out to battle in this dirt sprint.

GUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - BANNER MAN - This gelding had a finish of third with nominal odds in his first career start. Be sure to give him serious consideration in your betting.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	Play #4 BANNER MAN to win if you can get odds of 1/1 or more

Best Bets, Score Predictions for Wednesday Jan. 13
Matt Blunt

Montreal Canadiens vs. Toronto Maple Leafs

Money-Line Odds: Montreal +118; Toronto -136
Total (Over-Under): 6.5

Score Prediction: Toronto 4 Montreal 2
Best Bet: Toronto ML

Thanks to the unique bubble format of expanded playoffs, the Montreal Canadiens had their season extended and found some success with their second chance.

As the #12 seed they got by a #5 Pittsburgh team that kind of got hosed in the format and played like they had no interest in making it a long stay inside the bubble. That's not to take anything away from what Montreal did in taking full advantage of their opportunity, but after a couple of beneficial additions in the offseason, it feels like the market is pushing a bit too much on the Canadiens from the start.

The Habs have the second best odds to win the North Division (+400) behind Toronto (+125), meaning there is a nice combination of talent on the ice and respect in the market, but I'm not sure we don't see Montreal play themselves into that role as the weeks go on.

Teams in every sport that add multiple new faces that are expected to be heavy contributors can struggle early on, and even knowing Toronto will be the public side, you know what you're getting with the Leafs.

Toronto's got the offensive talent that's never really out of a game, let alone Game 1 of the year where any notions of “slumping” or “on fire” just don't exist. I'm not sure we get Toronto this cheap in this matchup later on in the year if those +125 and +400 division prices hold true to form either.

It's still Opening Night, and the comfortable route with a known commodity, even in a public role, is sensible enough even if it's just for a baseline to base thoughts upon for Game 2. Win or lose.


St. Louis Blues vs Colorado Avalanche

Money-Line Odds: St. Louis +125; Colorado -148
Total (Over-Under): 5.5

Score Prediction: St. Louis 3 Colorado 2
Best Bet: Blues ML

Colorado enters this shortened season as the favorite to lift the Stanley Cup in the summer, and barring any serious injury issues, Colorado should be in the conversation come the summer. But if the concern with Montreal is playing themselves into their potential, Colorado's concern could be with turning the switch on and off at times.

Colorado knows how good they are, and know that they'll get their fair share of wins this season just by showing up. The market won't be bashful about their Colorado support this year on all shapes and forms, and the contrarian in me would prefer to fade that type of support when we are all guessing the most.

The price is probably right in the end, but it will get more expensive on the Avalanche before it doesn't in all likelihood, but I'll still take the Blues here.

St. Louis was the first team that had to try and defend a Stanley Cup title in the middle of a pandemic since the 1918-19 Toronto Arenas were tasked with that challenge.

Toronto finished with a 5-13 record that for a year that was split into two halves, good enough for last place in a three-team NHL. That was never going to be a good omen for the Blues, and they were the only team that played in the West round robin that got bounced in their playoff series.

With all that's gone on in the world that Blues cup victory feels like forever ago, but this is still basically the same team that went on that run, and the additions of Torey Krug and Mike Hoffman could have some huge returns if everything breaks right.

The Blues had also won six straight against this up-and-coming Avalanche team before this current three-game losing streak against Colorado, and one of those was during the round robin in the bubble. Those games are forgivable for all eight teams involved, and if there ever is a decent time to fade season-long favorites it would be early in the year – when perspective is high and they've yet to hit stride – or late in the year when they are coasting towards a top playoff seed.

Again, early in the season so no need to go wild, but would something like a 5-5 SU start out of Colorado surprise you before they rip off 10 of 14 or something like that?

The Blues are one of the better candidates to be the reason for a loss or two in that type of record (Colorado has LA, Anaheim, San Jose, Minnesota up next), and the heater for the team that's anointed the “next one” isn't always on right out of the gate.

1* CBB - Tulsa/Wichita St *FREE PICK* on Wichita St -3.5
I will lay the 3.5 points with the Shockers at home against the Golden Hurricane. When Wichita State lost head coach Gregg Marshall before the season, it felt like everyone just wrote off the Shockers, but that has proven to be a mistake. It's also created great value in betting on Wichita State. The Shockers are 7-3 SU and have covered 5 straight. There's no shame in any of their 3 losses either, as they have come against Missouri, Oklahoma State and Houston all by 10 or fewer points. One of their 7 wins has come against Tulsa, who they beat 69-65 on the road as a 3.5-point dog. You might be thinking revenge for Tulsa here, but the Hurricane are just 16-36 ATS last 52 on the road when revenging a home loss. Bet Wichita State -3.5!

NBA | Mavs vs Hornets
Play on: Hornets +4½ -110 at Mirage

Dave's Wednesday Free Play:
1* on Charlotte Hornets +4.5
The Key: The Charlotte Hornets are quietly playing some of the best basketball in the NBA right now. They have gone 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall with 3 upset victories over the Hawks (twice) and Pelicans. They also crushed the Knicks by 21 points as a 5-point favorite. The Mavericks are also playing well at 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games overall. But while the Hornets are fully healthy, the Mavericks are dealing with COVID problems. Dallas had to shut down facilities on Sunday after a positive test by Maxi Kleber. And now they are expected to be without Kleber, Dwight Powell, Dorian Finney-Smith, Jalen Brunson and Josh Richardson. Although Kristaps Porzingis is expected to make his season debut, he will be on a minutes restriction. That leaves a lot on Luka Doncic' plate to have to try and shoulder too much of the load. The Hornets already beat the Mavericks 118-99 as 8-point road dogs in their first matchup this year. The Mavericks are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as road favorites. The Hornets are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games as home dogs. Take Charlotte.
