#1 BULLHEADED LADY (ML=8/5)
BULLHEADED LADY - We have lots of early speed with this mount. She could wire this field. Was in a $5,000 Claiming race at Presque Isle Downs last time around the track. That event had a class rating of 66 and she is moving down in this event. A certain contender. PP lines show this horse with three improving speed figures. Quinones should be on a live one right here. This animal is in the top spot in earnings per race entered. She looks strong in today's race.
Vulnerable Contenders: #3 MY SISTER ESTHER (ML=4/1), #7 BIRDMUDIFUL (ML=9/2), #6 BREAKING THE CITY (ML=5/1),
MY SISTER ESTHER - Hard to take this racer at this price after the result (fourth) in the last event. BIRDMUDIFUL - This animal likes to hit the board, but doesn't usually finish first. Don't play in the top spot. BREAKING THE CITY - This mare is always in the money, but just doesn't get the job done. Difficult to play her on the win end. This pony has no victories at Mountaineer Park. Notched a substandard speed figure in the last race in a $5,000 Claiming race on July 24th. Not probable to see an improved performance off of that fig.
Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - BULLHEADED LADY - This mare looks to be tough against these thoroughbreds. Her last two speed ratings of 60 and 68 are better than today's class rating.
STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Putting our cash on #1 BULLHEADED LADY to win. Have to have odds of at least 1/1 or better though

TIDAL MIST looks to be a very good contender. Is a sharp contender based on figs posted recently under today's conditions. Recent numbers for the rider - 17 win percent - make this filly stand out in this field. The average class rating alone makes this one a contender. HURRICANE PATTI - This filly looks good in this race since Martens has a sharp winning percentage with horses going this distance. Bettors get an edge when playing this trainer in a dirt sprint race.

#3 MARCHING ON (ML=7/2)
#6 THUNDERTAP (ML=8/1)
MARCHING ON - Mare is a few starts into a comeback here. Should give a top effort today. Ran against the males in her last race on July 23rd. Has a good chance to break maiden switching to the main track right here. This horse didn't run well on the soft turf in her last start at Laurel. You should overlook that performance. THUNDERTAP - Ran last out against better company at Presque Isle Downs. The move down in class should suit her well.
Vulnerable Contenders: #1 DIXIE ROSE (ML=8/5), #4 MI SOUTHERN BELLA (ML=9/5), #7 ANGEL ACCOUNT (ML=8/1),
DIXIE ROSE - Should have at least hit the board in the last two months in a short distance race to be worth the chance at minimal odds in a sprint. MI SOUTHERN BELLA - If you keep selecting these kind of 'bridesmaid' types, you're going to be disappointed often. No wins for this vulnerable equine at Presque Isle Downs. ANGEL ACCOUNT - This filly hasn't had any strong efforts in sprint contests in the last 60 days. Doubtful that the speed fig she recorded on Jul 24th will hold up in this affair.

Preview: Tigers at Pirates
Gracenote
Aug 7, 2017
Whatever momentum the Detroit Tigers hoped they were building after catching fire against two likely American League playoff teams over a five-day span came to a crashing halt over the weekend in Baltimore. The Tigers attempt to shake off a miserable end to their last series when they open up a four-game, home-and-home interleague set against the Pirates on Monday with the first of two contests in Pittsburgh.
Detroit took two of three from both AL-leading Houston and the New York Yankees before beating the Orioles twice in Camden Yards to begin a four-game set. The Tigers' season high-tying four-game winning streak ended unceremoniously after surrendering three homers in Saturday's 5-2 setback and five more in Sunday's 12-3 defeat, leaving them six games behind Kansas City for the second wild-card spot and 8 1/2 games in back of Cleveland in the AL Central. Pittsburgh crawled within 4 1/2 games of first place in the National League Central with Sunday's 5-4 victory over San Diego, as newcomer Sean Rodriguez belted a walk-off solo homer in the 12th inning a day after being acquired from Atlanta. The Pirates recorded their 15th consecutive win when scoring at least four runs and first series victory in five tries.
TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, FSN Detroit, AT&T SportsNet-Pittsburgh
PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers RH Jordan Zimmermann (7-8, 5.35 ERA) vs. Pirates RH Trevor Williams (4-4, 4.47)
Zimmermann missed out on an opportunity to record his first shutout of the season on Wednesday due to a rain delay of more than three hours in New York but settled for the victory after allowing six hits across seven scoreless innings. The two-time All-Star has turned in three quality starts in four tries since the Midsummer Classic and has not walked a batter in any of those three efforts. Zimmermann notched his only win in three career starts versus the Pirates last season, tossing six scoreless frames in Pittsburgh on April 14.
Williams settled for his 10th no-decision in 16 starts this season Wednesday against Cincinnati after permitting two runs and six hits over 5 1/3 innings. The 25-year-old Arizona State product has done a fine job keeping the ball in the park, however, yielding only two home runs in his last nine outings and nine overall this season. Williams, who did not factor in the decision in his first career interleague start earlier this year, is 1-0 with a 3.42 ERA in four turns since the All-Star break.
WALK-OFFS
1. Tigers OF Justin Upton went 0-for-4 on Sunday to snap three-game homer and seven-game hitting streaks, but his run-scoring groundout in the ninth inning gave him an RBI in six straight contests.
2. Pittsburgh is 13-6 in its last 19 games against AL Central teams.
3. Detroit SS Jose Iglesias was placed on the bereavement list Sunday.

GAME: Miami Marlins (52-57) at Washington Nationals (65-44)

Preview: Marlins at Nationals

Aug 7, 2017
The Washington Nationals finished a 3-3 road trip on a positive note and look to take that momentum into a nine-game homestand that begins Monday with the first of four contests against the Miami Marlins. Matt Wieters belted a grand slam to help the Nationals rally from three runs down for a 9-4 victory at the Chicago Cubs on Sunday and maintain their 13-game lead over second-place Miami in the National League East.
Daniel Murphy has rebounded from a brief slump to go 7-for-15 with a pair of homers in his last four games for Washington while fellow All-Star Bryce Harper went 5-for-14 in the series against the Cubs but is batting .212 versus the Marlins in 2017. Two-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer is expected to get the start for the Nationals on Monday after dealing with neck issues last time out against Miami, which sends rookie Chris O’Grady to the mound for the series opener. The Marlins avoided a three-game sweep at Atlanta with a 4-1 triumph on Sunday as Marcell Ozuna launched a three-run homer in the first inning of the team's seventh win in 11 contests. Giancarlo Stanton extended his hitting streak to five games with a single on Sunday and remains one shy of tying his career high of 37 homers that he set in 2012 and matched two years later.
TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FSN Florida (Miami), MASN (Washington)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Marlins LH Chris O’Grady (2-1, 5.40 ERA) vs. Nationals RH Max Scherzer (12-5, 2.21)
O’Grady allowed six runs, seven hits - two homers - and two walks over three innings last time out against Washington but escaped with a no-decision. The 27-year-old George Mason product had given up fewer than four runs in each of his first four major-league starts, including an outing on July 27 in which he blanked Cincinnati over seven frames. Howie Kendrick is 2-for-2 with a homer versus O’Grady, who has allowed right-handed batters to hit for a .323 average.
Scherzer left Tuesday's outing against Marlins after one scoreless inning but appears ready to make his 23rd start this season. The 33-year-old St. Louis native has won four straight decisions and permitted fewer than two runs in half of his 22 turns while leading the NL with 201 strikeouts in 146 1/3 frames. Christian Yelich is 7-for-21 with two homers versus Scherzer, who is 6-3 with a 3.45 ERA in 12 career starts against Miami.
WALK-OFFS
1. Wieters finished with six RBIs in the last two games of the series against Chicago after going 11 contests without one.
2. Miami C J.T. Realmuto is batting .366 while hitting safely in 40 of his 47 road games this year after going 4-for-8 over his last two contests.
3. The Nationals went 27-11 against the Marlins from 2013-14 but are just 24-23 since, including 4-5 this season.

Joey Votto is piling up the home run milestones and seeks a few more when he leads the Cincinnati Reds into the opener of a four-game series with the visiting San Diego Padres on Monday. Votto slugged a three-run shot in Sunday's 13-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, the 250th of his career, which places him one behind Ted Kluszewski for fifth place in franchise history.
The five-time All-Star needs one more blast to reach 30 in a season for the first time since his 2010 MVP campaign and enters the set tied with Jay Bruce for the most all-time homers at Great American Ball Park with 135. Unfortunately for Votto, so many of the long balls have gone to waste on his last-place club, which has dropped 17 of 23 since the All-Star break. The Padres had won six of nine and rallied to tie Pittsburgh in the ninth inning Sunday before falling 5-4 in 12 innings. San Diego swept three from Cincinnati at home by a combined score of 19-7 earlier this year and it needs one victory in this set to clinch the season series for the fourth consecutive campaign.
TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FSN San Diego, FSN Ohio (Cincinnati)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Padres RH Jhoulys Chacin (11-7, 3.99 ERA) vs. Reds RH Tim Adleman (5-9, 5.42)
Chacin entered Sunday tied for seventh in the National League in wins after blanking Minnesota over seven innings his last time out. The 29-year-old is 7-2 with a 2.30 ERA over his last 10 starts, which includes a win and seven solid frames against the Reds at home June 14. Chacin has a 7.35 ERA on the road this year but he has thrown three straight quality starts away from home.
Adleman has one quality start in his last eight appearances and he finished July at 0-5 with a 7.34 ERA after a rocky outing at Miami on July 29. He allowed a season high-tying six runs in 4 1/3 innings of that start, allowing at least one home run for the 12th straight outing. The Georgetown product has never faced San Diego and is 7-5 in his career at home.
WALK-OFFS
1. Reds All-Star SS Zack Cozart (thigh) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Sunday and went 1-for-5 with a run scored.
2. Padres CF Manuel Margot had a two-run single to force extra innings Sunday and has driven in 10 runs over his last 10 games.
3. San Diego is 16-6 against Cincinnati since the start of the 2014 season.

Adleman has one quality start in his last eight appearances and he finished July at 0-5 with a 7.34 ERA after a rocky outing at Miami on July 29. He allowed a season high-tying six runs in 4 1/3 innings of that start, allowing at least one home run for the 12th straight outing. The Georgetown product has never faced San Diego and is 7-5 in his career at home.
