Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Chicago Cubs
Bonus Play Chicago Cubs
These two teams are headed to in totally different directions. The Pirates are losers of 4 straight, and their playoff hopes are still alive, but if they do not turn things around quickly, the playoffs may not happen. The Cubbies are a team out of the playoffs yet again, but Theo Epstein has this club poised for a turnaround behind one of the best plethora of young future stars.
The Pirates send out Vance Worley who snapped a three start losing last time out, in a 3-2 victory over the Reds. During that losing streak he posted a 6.11 ERA and against such a promising young team, with prospects like Baez and Jorge Soler, who has hit safely in his first 7 games in the majors. Soler is batting a crazy 12-26 with 8 extra based hits and 10 RBI’s. This team continues to put up runs, as they hope to finish this year strong. Even without Castro and Rizzo who look to be sidelined from the rest of the year, this team is talented enough to put runs on the board, especially since they play the Pirates who had trouble doing just that lately.
Among the future of the Chicago Cubs lies within the pitching of Jake Arrieta, Kyle Hendricks, and the guy on the mound tonight in left handed Japanese Tsuyoshi Wada. Wada has allowed 3 of fewer earned runs in 8 of his 9 starts in the majors, and the slumping Pirates are coming into this game with trouble plating runs. In their last 10 games, they have hit .172 with runners in position and have recorded fewer than 3 runs in 7 of their last 10 games. Get a slight underdog role here, take the Cubs to win an early game.

Mohawk: Friday 9/5 Analysis
By Greg Gangle
DRF HARNESS
Race 4 - $50,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool
Best Bet: HABITAT (2nd)
Spot Play: BRUSHSTROKES (10th)
Race 1
(1) BETTORHAVEANOTHER has a terrific record early in his career and made a big step last week with his first appearance over the Mohawk surface. (2) COWGIRL TOUGH has been much better in her last two starts for trainer/driver Jack Moiseyev. (7) BUSINESS AS USUAL started the season off very well and will look to get back on form following a pair of miscues for trainer Casie Coleman.
Race 2
(5) HABITAT has a winning record this season from five starts with three wins and one second-place finish for trainer Ron Burke. (6) UNCLE LASSE gets my call for second after much debate with the top choice. (1) DONT RUSH has certainly earned his spot in this Wellwood elimination after finishing a game second in the Champlain Stakes division last week and being a main threat in the provincial Sire Stakes.
Race 3
(6) SOUTHWIND STRYKER is a horse that has some steady improvement in each of his three career starts and is very capable of a big effort and winning this dash at a price. (4) CRUZADO DELA NOCHE has won back-to-back scores for trainer Nancy Johansson. (5) ALDEBARAN EAGLE is winless from five starts this season, but has hit the board in four of them.
Race 4
(7) DREAMFAIR ECLIPSE disappointed last week in this class as the Camluck mare was positioned too far back turning for home and couldn't make up ground. (1) RUB N TUG is a back-class mare that has many credentials to win this race except she doesn't like to win races this season as her one-for-29 record suggests. (5) FOOLISH MIND drops in class and that's the main reason for my selection.
Race 5
(2) MAGIC FEELING began this season as a top sophomore filly in the province, but hasn't step foot on the racetrack following her break in stride in the SBAO final as the favorite. (10) EXQUISITE GLIDE shows 1:53 and 1:54 speed earlier this summer at The Meadowlands, therefore will draw a lot of attention again this week. (4) SHEER FLEX drops out of the Ontario Sires Stakes Gold Series and moves onto this circuit for trainer Marie Ortolan Bar.
Race 6
(7) REBEKA BAYAMA is the queen of back class in this field with over $700K to her credit and is fresh off an open length score in 1:50 2/5 at a lower level last week. (9) ITS NO SECRET raced in the Fillies & Mares Preferred last week and drops in class for trainer Shawn Robinson and driver Jody Jamieson. (4) RADAR CONTACT raced very impressively two starts back in this class with a :26 1/5 final quarter to finish fourth.
Race 7
(6) MINESTRE HANOVER draws in the middle of the gate and will look for a bounce-back effort from last week. (7) SUMMONS has also been a main threat in this class in the past and is fresh off a win at Georgian Downs in 1:54 by open lengths. (9) THINKBEFOREUSPEAK has hit the board in each of his last two starts and four of his last five.
Race 8
(1) VOELZ HANOVER has excellent gate speed and has been blessed with the rail in this top class. (2) FERRARI SENA has hit the board in three of her last four starts and was a game second last week in this class. (4) AUNT CAROLINE was my top selection last week for this class based on her class relief and move onto this circuit from trainer Frank Antonacci.
Race 9
(3) LADY DYNAMITE has just one win from 15 starts this season, but it came two back on this circuit for trainer Robbie McMillan and driver Jonathan Drury. (1) SEE THE WIND draws the rail for trainer Chris Beaver and this 'Dewey' colt will need to be better this week. (7) EXEMPLAR was an impressive winner in this class in his first start of the season three starts back, but since then hasn't been at his best.
Race 10
(7) BRUSHSTROKES offers some upset potential and is worth a look if the price is right. (4) BACK YARD BABY was a game second last week for trainer John Curran and driver Jody Jamieson as the pacing miss raced very well with a :27 final frame to miss only by a neck. (8) MARINADE HANOVER has offered a low price in her two starts in this class prior to her layoff.
Race 11
(1) ODDS ON CYGNUS draws the rail on this occasion and was a winner last week in this class. (4) ST LADS PENNY LANE will make her fourth start of the season for trainer Larry Hall. The five-year-old has hit the board on two occasions this season, including a win two back and a third-place finish last week in this class. (6) MISS DOLLAR MAM was claimed by Auciello on Aug.10 and has a first and second-place finish in both starts for the veteran trainer.
Race 12
(3) MACHNBYRD PRINCESS was the favorite last week in this bottom class and failed to get the job done. (2) HUSTLEONHOME has terrific gate speed and draws an inside post this week that will likely be taken advantage of by driver Doug McNair. (1) SIR LBS Z TAM offered a low price last week and failed to click for trainer Marcel Barrieau. The Bettors Delight miss is very versatile, gets Mike Saftic back in the bike and once again poses as a main threat in this class.

Race 2
(3) STEEL RESERVE was sharp in victory last time around upstate. He is good enough to get the job done again. (4) ABIR HANOVER has wheeled off three straight wins; main danger. (1) BUNDLE ME UP might fare well from the fence.
Race 3
(8) FIRSTCLASSPRINCESS has some speed and that might help her cause from the 8-hole; threat at her best. (2) ANDIE SOPHIA closed well for the show spot last time out. (4) ELIN gets post relief; watch out.
Race 4

Race 6
(5) ANDY RAY closed strongly for win honors last out at Saratoga. Trotter might take another for his third score of 2014. (4) SUGARMAKEMECRAZY is an unbeaten 2-year-old that should be the one to fear. (3) WINGS OF ROYALTY raced evenly in his last trip.
Race 7
(1) BUEN CAMINO is a very sharp gelding that has scored his last two in a row. Should keep on his winning ways from his rail slot. (2) ROYAL LAD will be closing in the final strides. (3) GABE THE BEAR DEAN could make some noise in the stretch drive.

(8) SOMWHEROVRARAINBOW comes off a strong qualifier at Freehold in her return to the races. Pacing miss is capable of getting the job done from the eight slot. (4) CAMPANILE rallied well to grab the win in her most recent try. (1) VENUS DELIGHT came up a little short for the victory in her latest.
Race 9
(1) FORT VALLEY AS posted an even finish in his last start, so this gelding might be ready to put his best foot forward against these. (6) DEWYCOLORINTHELINE got the job done last out down the road; main danger. (3) TRAVERSE SEESLTER has wheeled off two straight victories.
Race 10
(1) WILD SMILE moves back to the rail slot and that might be what he needs to make tonight a winning one. (5) SWISHNFLICK is knocking at the door based on her last three starts. (6) LOOKING HANOVER beat lesser company in his latest.
Race 11
(1) DWS NY YANK gets serious post relief and the good news is Brennan stays with this gelding; ready to roll. (4) WORLD CUP should find these to his liking. (6) TAKE MY PICTURE was second best against lesser last time out.
Race 12
(5) ROYAL CEE CEE N was sharp for the victory at Philly last time around. Pacing miss can top these for her second straight score. (4) HANDSOFFMYCUPCAKE closed strongly for the show spot in her most recent try; threat. (3) ROCKAROUND SUE got the job done last out via the pocket route.

NEWSLETTER Major League Baseball Prediction From Doc’s Sports
Take ‘Under’ 8.0 – Kansas City at N.Y. Yankees (7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 5)
Now are some big series with playoff implications getting underway on Friday night. The Kansas City Royals and New York Yankees are one of those, and they’ll start the first of three games with James Shields and Michael Pineda squaring off in Yankee Stadium. These games should have a playoff-type atmosphere with both teams still very much in the hunt for playoff spots in the AL. And any time we have an atmosphere like this, the first place to look is towards the under. Low-scoring games have also been quite common for both clubs in 2014. At mid-week, the Royals have 70 unders versus just 60 overs this season (7 pushes), and the Yankees have an even more extreme split. They have had 77 unders with just 56 overs (3 pushes). I don’t expect that those trends to change in the final month of the season as both teams rely on an outstanding pitching staff anchored by their deep bullpens. With two quality starters toeing the rubber on Friday, runs will be hard to come by, and I don’t have much faith in either offense to break through. The Royals are 9th in the AL in runs scored while the Yankees are 14th. If either pitcher gets in trouble early, managers Joe Girardi and Ned Yost won’t be afraid to bring in one of the talented relievers from the pen. The strategy for these games will not be unlike a postseason game, so we’re comfortable going under the total with these two teams competing.

Complimentary Horse Pick for September 5th, 2014
BELMONT PARK #9 at 05:20 PM Eastern
Top Pick: #7 (WHYALWAYSME) (5-2) - Gelding takes a drop in class after a wide and even effort going a mile on the Saratoga lawn on Aug. 10th. He finished second here at this level and distance June 25th and stalker can take this with a repeat of that effort.
2nd Pick: #9 (Blue Chips Only) (8-1) - Lightly-raced gelding has fine early speed and appears to be nearing his best since returning from a 9 1/2 month layoff in June. Price play races with blinkers off and that's a 24% winning move by trainer Jeremiah Englehart.
3rd Pick: #4 (Bapu) (6-1) - Another that's lightly-raced, he comes off a career best effort at Saratoga Aug. 11. Racing at this level, he pressed a solid pace, bid turning for home, and continued on gamely to check in 4th of 12. Home bred by "Read the Footnotes" should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th Pick: #10 (Baskets) (6-1) - He's been freshened up for the past two months following a claim by trainer Dave Duggan on July 6th. Gelding has been competitive in both previous grass attempts and the new barn confidently doubles him up in price.
