At the Gate - Friday

September 25, 2015

Saturday’s big card at Belmont Park could get a boost if Friday’s Pick 6 does not get hit, and it certainly is a tough sequence. Only one of my top picks is the morning line favorite.

There was nearly a carryover going into today’s card, as there were only two horses covered in the final leg on Thursday, with Wedding Dress getting the job done, with one ticket holder cashing for $39,813.

Friday’s Pick 6 starts with the fifth race, a $25,000 claimer for non-winners of three that drew a full field. The favorite Lady Liana (3-1) drew an outside post and looks vulnerable. I’m going deep and including longshot Race and Shine (15-1).

Drama King (9-5) will be the favorite in the sixth but again looks as if he could get beat. The entry of Energy Policy and Deficit Reduction from the Chad Brown barn will likely be the favorites in the seventh, a maiden special weigh affair that drew a full field.

Among the longshots to look at include Archie (12-1) and Strike Midnight (10-1). The eighth is a $32,000 claimer with Big Picture (3-1) a legit favorite. However, I’ll toss in longshot Coturnix at 12-1.

The ninth race (selections below) figures to be won by one of the top three betting choices, but which one? I am going with Mewannarose (7-2).

I landed in morning line favorite Breward (3-1) in the finale, but it is a 12-horse field and does not look like a race I want to single.

I am going to likely just play a small ticket and save my bankroll for Saturday’s big day and hope there is a carryover to enhance the pot.

Here is today’s opener from Belmont Park to get the day off to a good start:

BEL Race 1 Clm $25,000N2L (12:55 ET)
#3 Combat Diver 7-2
#5 Sarlef 7-5
#6 Sean and Matt 5-2
#1 H Man 5-1

Analysis: Combat Diver stalked the early pace while wide and finished evenly in a fourth place finish last out against $32,000 foes. The colt was claimed out of the race by the Maker barn that is 21% winners first off the claim. The colt broke his maiden over the main track here last fall and should be tighter in his second start off a three-month break.

Sarlef faded to finish ninth last out against $40,000 non-winners of two on turf. His efforts two and three back were over sloppy tracks. If he runs back to his maiden score over a fast main track at Gulfstream Park he would be tough here, but can't get too excited about backing him for the top spot at such a light price.

Wagering
WIN: #3 to win at 5-2 or better.
EX: 3,5 / 3,5,6
TRI: no play

Today’s Featured Race of the Day from Belmont Park:

BEL Race 9 OClm $80,000N3X (5:19 ET)
#7 Mewannarose 7-2
#2 Goombey Dancer 4-1
#1 Doubledown Again 3-1
#4 Eye Luv Lulu 12-1

Analysis: Mewannarose makes his first start since May for the Englehart barn hat is 25% winners with runners coming back off a 61-180 day layoff. This guy was facing tougher including running into repeat winners in each of his last five starts including Salutos Amigos. He was fifth last out against Alw-3 optional claimers in a key race won by Stallwalkin' Dude, one of three next out winners. A couple of swift works on the morning tab.

Goombey Dancer went gate to wire last out to win at this level going a two turn mile at Monmouth Park. His other four career wins have all come at six furlongs, so the cut back should not pose a problem. The Dibona barn is 19% winners moving runners from route to sprint. He has won four of his last five starts and comes in here very sharp for an underrated barn.

Wagering
WIN: #7 to win at 5-2 or better.
EX: 2,7 / 1,2,4,7
TRI: 2,7 / 1,2,4,7 / 1,2,3,4,7

Live Longshots:
These are price plays for exotic players looking to find a couple of extra contenders to use in their trifecta and superfecta wagers. Or for those with smaller bankrolls, you might want to get in a small win-place wager.

Belmont Park
R2: #1 Karenina 12-1
R4: #2 Aquarius 8-1
R5: #8 Race and Shine 15-1
R7: #4 Archie 12-1
R7: #10 Strike Midnight 10-1
R8: #10 Coturnix 12-1

Good luck today!

EPL Best Bets - Week 7

September 25, 2015


The Premier League started with a stunner last Saturday as West Ham United (+900) opened a 2-0 lead on Manchester City at Etihad Stadium and barely held on for a 2-1 victory as the heavy road underdog. It was the first loss of the season for City and also the first two goals they conceded. Goaltender Adrian came up big for the Hammers, who are now 3-0 on the road in league play.

There were two other upsets on the pitch last week as West Bromwich Albion (+220) knocked off Aston Villa 1-0 and Watford (+260) continued to turn heads as a newcomer with a 2-1 win at New Castle United.

Despite those wins, favorites managed to come ahead with a 4-3 mark in Week 6 and one of those decisions came from Chelsea (+125), who blanked Arsenal 2-1 at home. The Gunners ended the match with nine men as two players were sent off, including Gabriel Paulista. He succumbed to Diego Costa and his antics and was caught retaliating. Fortunately for Arsenal, the defender won his appeal and justifiably Costa was handed a three-game suspension.

Visitors went 4-3 in Week 6 and three of the games ended in draws. Six clean sheets helped the ‘under’ produce a 6-4 record.

Through six weeks of EPL action, favorites are 25-17 with 18 draws and the ‘under’ is 32-27-1.

Top Four

Saturday’s slate is loaded with eight games and all of the top tier clubs are in action and none are scheduled against one another.

We still haven’t seen a week where all of the four clubs have been victorious and while they’re expected to do so this weekend, we all know that nothing is every easy in the Premier League.

Manchester City at Tottenham (NBCSN, 7:45 a.m.)

Including the aforementioned loss to West Ham last week, Manchester City also dropped a 2-1 decision at home to Juventus in Champions League group play. City did avenge those back-to-back home losses with a 4-1 victory over Sunderland this past Tuesday in the Capital One Cup. In that same event on Wednesday, Tottenham was humbled at home to Arsenal, 2-1.

Manchester has owned Tottenham the past two seasons, winning all four of meetings and outscoring the Spurs 16-2 over this span. To be fair, the tightest affair took place last May from White Hart Lane as City nipped Tottenham 1-0.

City, a short favorite (-115) for this game, hasn’t lost on the road in three EPL games this season and the ‘under’ has gone 2-0-1 in those matches. Prior to Wednesday’s mid-week loss to Arsenal, the Spurs had won three straight games with two of those victories coming in EPL games, both 1-0 decisions.

Tottenham (+300) has earned five points (1-2-0) at home this season and the books are favoring another draw (+275) opposed to the home upset. The total on this game is sitting at 2 ½ and that’s a low number for City but the juice (-140) could have you backing off.

Arsenal at Leicester City (NBCSN, 10:00 a.m.)

After losing to Chelsea last Saturday, Arsenal rebounded on Wednesday with a solid 2-1 win over Tottenham in the Capital One Cup. The Gunners (-125) are short favorites for this matchup and they’ll be looking to do something that nobody else has been able to do, which is take three points from Leicester City (+330).

The Foxes have scored 13 goals this season, which includes eight at home. With the good comes the bad and Claudio Ranieri’s team has allowed nine goals.

Leicester gave Arsenal a handful last season, losing 2-1 at the Emirates and proudly capturing a 1-1 draw at home.

Total players will be scratching their heads on this game since Arsenal has gone 5-1 to the ‘under’ while Leicester is 4-2 to the ‘over’ in league play. The number on this game is listed at 3 goals, shaded to the ‘under’ (-130).

Manchester United vs. Sunderland (USA, 10:00 a.m.)

The Red Devils (-500) are listed as the largest favorites in Week 7, deservingly so. Manchester United (4-1-1) is starting to click and Sunderland (-1400) can’t get out of its own way lately, losing three straight and getting outscored 7-1 during this span.

United appears to have found its next start in 19-year-old French product Anthony Martial, who has scored three goals in his last three appearances with the club. Considering Sunderland has allowed a league-high 13 goals in five league games, Martial should certainly have opportunities to pad his numbers here.

Manchester blanked Sunderland 2-0 at home last season but only managed a 1-1 draw in their road contest. The ‘under’ has gone 8-2 in the last 10 encounters between this pair.

Is the look-ahead spot in play? United has a tough Champions League match against Wolfsburg next Wednesday followed with a key road trip to Arsenal the following Sunday.

Chelsea at New Castle United (NBCSN, 12:30 p.m.)

The Blues (-170) have a great shot to start racking up points and that path begins this weekend on the road at New Castle, who is listed as high as a 5/1 underdog at some betting shops.

After dropping three of their first four EPL games and allowing 10 goals, Chelsea has won three straight games by outscoring opponents 10-1. It’s well understood that two of the wins came against inferior opponents in Maccabi Tel Aviv and Walsall but wins are wins and Jose Mourinho’s team needed confidence.

Chelsea won’t have striker Diego Costa for two more matches after he was suspended three games for violent conduct in the team’s 2-0 win over Arsenal. Costa hasn’t been in top form this season and the absence might actually help the club. Loic Remy and Radamel Falcao will likely fill his shoes in the rotation.

New Castle is currently sitting tied for 20th place in the league and they’ve only managed to score three goals in five games, which is ranked last in the league. To no surprise, the ‘under’ has gone 4-2 in New Castle’s games this season

Bettors expecting Chelsea to run away here should note that the home team has won six straight meetings in this series, which includes a 2-1 decision by New Castle last season.

Fearless Predictions

We were one goal away from connecting on a juicy three-team parlay and that would’ve helped the bankroll which has dropped back into the four-digit realms (-1,215). We’ve got 31 weeks to get it right and I’m looking at the fatigue factor this week with teams playing double duty in other events this week and next week.

Straight – Over Sunderland-Manchester United 3 (-105) – 3 Units

Straight – Stoke City (+155) – 1 Unit

Straight – Norwich City (+230) – ½ Unit

Straight – Norwich City-West Ham Draw (+240) – ½ Unit

Parlay – Chelsea (-170), Arsenal (-125), Under Swansea-Southampton (2.5) – 1 Unit

Sylvania 300 Preview

September 22, 2015

Boy, we really got some kind of Chase brewing with all kinds of drama after just one race. The defending champ, Kevin Harvick, felt Jimmie Johnson caused his wreck early in the Chicago race last week which caused him to finish 42nd and drop all the way to last place among the 16 drivers in the Chase. After the race, Harvick shoved Johnson.

Yes! A battle between two champions. Love it!

Harvick is now in a situation where he is going to have to most likely win either of the next two races -- Sunday at New Hampshire or next week at Dover -- to stay alive in the Chase.

As we saw last season at Phoenix, never doubt Harvick to do anything when the chips were down. However, if you did want to doubt Harvick you would have stats on your side. While Harvick has more wins than anyone at Phoenix history with seven, including the past four, he has only one win combined on the 1-mile layouts of New Hampshire and Dover.

Still, the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook only dropped his odds to win the Sprint Cup from a 4/1 co-favorite last week to 6/1 on Monday, which is the ultimate sign of respect.

Here's a look at the Westgate's updated numbers:

Odds to win 2015 Sprint Cup Championship

Kyle Busch 4/1
Matt Kenseth 5/1
Joey Logano 6/1
Kevin Harvick 6/1
Jimmie Johnson 7/1
Brad Keselowski 8/1
Denny Hamlin 8/1
Carl Edwards 12/1
Martin Truex Jr. 12/1
Kurt Busch 12/1
Dale Earnhardt Jr. 25/1
Jeff Gordon 30/1
Ryan Newman 60/1
Jamie McMurray 100/1
Clint Bowyer 200/1
Paul Menard 300/1

Sunday's Sylvania 300 will be the second race of the season on New Hampshire Motor Speedway's 1-mile flat track. The best part of handicapping New Hampshire is that we can really get a good grasp of who should do well by looking at results from similar tracks at Phoenix (1-mile) and Richmond (3/4-mile) this season. If a driver does well on one, history shows that they do well on the other.

Back in the day when teams used to list chassis information -- the previous 20 years up until this season -- I noticed that most of the crew chiefs brought the same chassis to each of the three flat tracks, especially those that did well. The results were always there to show similarities over the years, but the chassis angle and similar set-up always stuck with me.

As a bookmaker, I lowered odds on those drivers that performed well on the three tracks and as a bettor I took advantage of other books that were not in tune with NASCAR. The trio of tracks at Phoenix, New Hampshire and Richmond have consistently been my most profitable NASCAR tracks over the past 20-plus years of betting, whether it's odds to win or head-to-head matchups. I could pinpoint the most likely winner to just two or three drivers and wager more on them instead of spreading things around more for less money.

Those trends all still hold true, but we've had a major transition of elite powers in NASCAR this season that probably makes this year the least correlated I've ever seen between the three similar tracks -- no multi-winner yet between four events.

In the first New Hampshire race, held July 19, Kyle Busch was in the middle of dominating the month and it was the beginning of a Joe Gibbs Racing domination period that is still going on now. With Denny Hamlin's win Sunday at Chicago, a JGR driver has now won nine of the past 12 races on the schedule. Joey Logano has snuck in a couple wins over that span -- a bunch of top-fives too -- and Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the race of randomness at Daytona, but other than that it's been all Toyota and Gibbs.

It's been quite an assault on the series, and has created a season that I've never quite seen before. I love NASCAR's ability to change mid-stream with a package, but I also love consistency. What I'm getting right now is only consistency with JGR, but it only started when the low down force package was introduced at Kentucky July 11. Before that, it was the Kevin Harvick show with a top-two finish almost every week and another guy in a bow-tie, Jimmie Johnson, had four wins. It really has been a tale of two seasons. It's been quite a while since I've seen Chevrolet look so ordinary this late.

Matt Kenseth led 352 of 400 laps at Richmond two weeks ago in one of the more dominating performances of the season. He's won three of the past seven races and grabbed his first and only win at NHMS in 2013 during his first year with JGR.

I like the desperation angle with Harvick this week, and I also like Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski to run strong, but there is just too much going right with JGR to go against them, and they come in waves at you. The real question is which one do you pick? Kyle Busch hasn't won in a while and he's a two-time NHMS winner. Hamlin has won two times there, while Edwards is searching for the first of his career.

If we could bet Mega-Sports pari-mutuel style like 15 years ago -- fire it up again with William Hill Mr. Vic Salerno, who brilliantly introduced the product with LeRoy's -- I would box an exacta with Kenseth and Busch and then maybe key those two to Hamlin and Logano on the back end of a trifecta.

Harvick, my pick to win the Chase, is in bad shape right now and while I will never doubt him, I have come to believe that the JGR cars are better than everyone else on 1.5-mile tracks even with the regular aero-package that the season started with. There was some inkling that we might go back to June-type results, but momentum and knowledge have catapulted Toyota and JGR past everyone else.

Hopefully the next nine Chase races don't reflect what we're seeing lately, but I certainly wouldn't be upset for my pocket if Hamlin won his first title.

Top-5 Finish Prediction:

1) #20 Matt Kenseth (7/1)
2) #18 Kyle Busch (5/1)
3) #22 Joey Logano (7/1)
4) #11 Denny Hamlin (12/1)
5) #4 Kevin Harvick (5/1)

Rangers, Astros begin key series

September 25, 2015


TEXAS RANGERS (83-69) at HOUSTON ASTROS (80-73)

First pitch: Friday, 8:00 p.m. ET
Sportsbook.ag Line: Texas +120, Houston -130, Total: 8

The Rangers and Astros continue to fight for the top position in the AL West when the teams meet in Houston on Friday.

The Rangers are coming off of a three-game sweep over the Athletics and they have now won 10 of their past 13 games. Texas has a lead over Houston in the AL West, but that could all slip away fast if the Astros are to win this series.

Houston has really let things get away from it lately, losing nine of its past 13 games at the most important time of the year.

The Astros will need to get it together soon and they’ll be confident in this one with LHP Scott Kazmir (7-10, 2.73 ERA, 151 K) going up against RHP Yovani Gallardo (12-11, 3.41 ERA, 112 K) of the Rangers.

Texas, however, has gotten the best of Houston on the season. The Rangers are 12-4 against the Astros on the year and that includes a 4-2 record when the teams meet in Houston.

One thing working in the Rangers’ favor is the fact that they are 15-3 against the money line in road games after three or more consecutive Overs in the past two seasons. Scott Kazmir’s teams, however, are 49-19 against the money line as a home favorite of -125 to -175 since 1997 with him on the mound.

The Rangers are relatively healthy in this game, but OF Carlos Gomez is expected to be out for the Astros on Friday.

Yovani Gallardo has not been pitching his best recently, giving up eight earned runs on 15 hits over his past two starts. Those numbers wouldn’t be that horrendous if he was able to work deeper into games, but he has pitched a total of 9.1 innings in those starts. Gallardo has pitched six innings just twice in the past 10 starts and it would really help the Rangers if he can tally another longer outing on Friday. The last time he faced the Astros, Gallardo pitched just five innings and allowed three earned runs on four hits.

Offensively, DH Prince Fielder (.302, 21 HR, 84 RBI) has not homered or driven in a run in the four straight games. He’ll need to break out of this slump fast, but he may not be feeling too confident that he will get that done on Friday. Fielder is just 3-for-21 with a homer and three RBI against Scott Kazmir in his career. That will really need to change on Friday or it will be tough for Texas to earn a big road victory.

OF Shin-Soo Choo (.271, 18 HR, 72 RBI) has had some success against Kazmir, going 7-for-27 with a homer, three RBI and five walks in the matchup. He’ll need to get on base on Friday.

Another guy who could help if he is healthy is OF Josh Hamilton (.253, 6 HR, 21 RBI). Hamilton has only been used as a pinch hitter recently, but he is 7-for-19 with two homers and six RBI against Kazmir. He was said to be running a lot better on Wednesday, so perhaps he’ll see some playing time earlier in the game in this one. His power could spark the team against a pitcher that has given some of the Rangers’ best batters trouble.

Like Gallardo, Scott Kazmir can have a lot of trouble working deeper into games. In two of his past five starts, Kazmir has pitched less than five innings. Fortunately for the Astros, he allowed three or less runs in both of those starts. The last time Kazmir faced the Rangers, though, he pitched seven innings and gave up just two earned runs while striking out four batters and walking just one. He’ll need to put forth a similar effort on Friday.

One good sign for this Astros team has been the hitting of SS Carlos Correa (.278, 19 HR, 58 RBI). Correa had two RBI in Houston’s loss to the Angels on Wednesday. He now has a homer and five RBI in the past three games. OF George Springer (.262, 14 HR, 37 RBI) has also really gotten himself on track as of late. He has gotten a hit in eight of the past nine games and has a homer and six RBI in the past four contests.

One guy that may be able to provide a spark for the Astros on Friday is OF Colby Rasmus (.233, 21 HR, 53 RBI). Rasmus has owned Gallardo in his career, going 7-for-22 with two doubles, two homers and four RBI in the matchup.
