WUNDERDOG (HORSES)
SARATOGA Race #3 (THE LOUDONVILLE) at 2:05 PM Eastern
Top pick: #4 (FUNNY FEELING) - Talented and lightly-raced daughter of "Distorted Humor" had a rough and wide trip at Belmont in the "Prioress"(G1) on the July 4. Stalker has a "bullet" drill here July 29 and her stalking style fits the contest as there's a lot of speed signed-up. Can run them down late.
2nd pick: #1 (Stormandaprayer) - Speaking of speed, this filly has plenty of it, is working fast for this, draws the rail and she's the only one entered who has been competitive on this surface in the past. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Simply Spiteful) - Speed/stalker comes off her best race to date, a wire-to-wire win at Belmont July 11. Working nicely at Fair Hill in Maryland since that win and her trainer (Mike Trombetta) wins wherever he races. Stretch threat.

Craig Davis Friday's Lineup
30 Dime winner on the CINCINNATI REDS with Arroyo over the Chicago Cubs with Gorzelanny. You must specify both starting pitchers or else this play is void. The Reds are listed at -110.
Sometimes it's not about what the starting pitching looks like on paper... it's about one team playing well vs. another team that's struggling. We have a classic case of that right here. The Reds lead the NL Central and have had no trouble winning series lately, but they still lack that one huge winning streak that would give them some distance between the second-place St. Louis Cardinals. Manage Dusty Baker said he feels like this team is on the verge of doing just that with this weekend series against the Cubs.
The Reds are looking to beat the Cubs for the sixth time in the last seven games tonight and are hoping to win their 11th series in 13 attempts. Yep, they're 10-1-1 in their last 12 series, and considering they have a tough three-game set with the Cardinals coming up, they need to take care of business tonight and the rest of the weekend. The funny thing about the Reds is, they haven't had a winning streak longer than 5 games all season yet they are 61-48 on the year.
The Reds lead the NL with 536 runs scored and a .438 slugging percentage and have done plenty of damage against the Cubs this year... 15 homers, 20 doubles and a .381 batting average winning 7 of their 10 meetings. They'll have to contend with lefty Tom Gorzelanny (6-5, 3.48 ERA) who is not pitching his best right now. He allowed 5 earned runs in just over five innings of work in Colorado in his last outing and has allowed 8 ERs in his last two starts.
Cincy counters with Bronson Arroyo (11-6, 4.01 ERA) who didn't surrender an earned run in his last start vs. the Cubs and is 8-6 lifetime vs. the Northsiders with an ERA under 3.00. His last start saw him allow two unearned runs and four hits in seven innings of a 5-2 win over the Braves on Sunday. He's 4-0 with a 2.30 ERA in his last five starts vs. the Cubs with a 0.69 ERA in his last two starts at Wrigley.
This game has Reds rout written all over it... and that's why they're my one-and-only play of the day.

KEVIN ROGERSAstros at Brewers
Pick: Astros
The easy pick here would be to side with the Brewers, returning home to avenge a three-game sweep at Houston last weekend. That isn't the smart way to go, as the Astros have been fantastic over the last eight games, winning seven times. Coincidentally, six of those wins have come since the trades of Roy Oswalt and Lance Berkman, as the losses of those veterans have clearly not affected the Astros. Wandy Rodriguez has been terrific since the end of June, as Houston has won six of his last seven starts, including two over the Brewers. Dave Bush has been on the losing end of those two defeats to Rodriguez and the Astros, while Milwaukee is 2-5 his previous seven outings. I'll take the hotter pitcher at plus money and side with the Astros.
