Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#6 LOCK THIS SIDE (ML=20/1)
#3 READY TO START (ML=4/1)
#7 CAPTAIN UPSTA (ML=6/1)


LOCK THIS SIDE - I like to play horses that faced open company in their last race and drop into state bred races. This gelding fits the bill. Lone speed horses can be tough to run down. Here's a lone speed freak facing sluggish sorts today. Trying to be a winner for the first-time moving from a race on the grass to the dirt. I think Phillips will have him fit and ready for today's affair. This gelding is rounding his way back into shape. Should race well today. READY TO START - Good return on investment for this rider and trainer twosome. Colt was in versus 'open company' on April 26th and should find this group easier to deal with. This colt should be at the fitness peak, this far into his form cycle. Trying to get to the winner's circle for the 1st time moving from a grass race to the dirt. I think Davidson will have him in good shape for today's race. CAPTAIN UPSTA - Valdezjiminez and Torrez perform well when they unite. It's hard to beat a +27 return on investment for a jock and trainer. This gelding is clearly on the improve with speed ratings of 36, 41, 49 last 3 out.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 JMAC'S BLING (ML=3/1), #10 MISTER RICKY (ML=5/1), #9 GABBI'SGOLDENSONG (ML=8/1),

JMAC'S BLING - No pace in this event to help this sustainer's efforts. MISTER RICKY - Tough to play at 5/1 odds after the two most recent outings. Hasn't hit the board in any short distance affairs of late. Not likely to see him doing it this time out either. Garnered a common speed fig last time around the track in a $25,000 Maiden Claiming race on Aug 31st. Doubtful to see an improved performance off of that rating. GABBI'SGOLDENSONG - This gelding hasn't been showing me anything positive in the last two outings.

# 5 IN YOUR ROOM 6/1

# 4 BOUNCING BAX 3/1

# 1 GREY ICE 4/1

IN YOUR ROOM looks really good to best this field of horses. This contest may be controlled by this mare. One look at the avgerage TrackMaster speed fig will confirm that. This standardbred looks strong considering the high class stats. Don't toss out of any exotics. Looks like a strong contender in this field of starters and her better than average winning percentage says she has the raw talent to win this time. BOUNCING BAX - A competitive play in here as she has one of the highest winning percents in the group of animals as well as excellent credentials all around. One of the strongest win percentages with this driver/conditioner make this mare dangerous. GREY ICE - Take a look at this nice horse's average speed rating of 91 and compare to today's class rating. Looks like a very nice play. Could definitely handle this bunch given the 90 speed rating achieved in his last contest.

CLEVELAND INDIANS AT BALTIMORE ORIOLES

Bonus Play: CLEVELAND INDIANS +110

Not many have doubted the potential of Trevor Bauer. But the former UCLA star hasn’t put it together at baseball’s highest level, and his unorthodox methods and apparent stubbornness to do things his way have come into question on a regular basis. But it’s starting to now loom like Bauer has turned a corner, and I’m eager to see what he does today as the Indians wrap up their weekend set against the Orioles.

The big issue for Bauer has been his lousy control. He’s got high end stuff, but most pitchers cannot survive an abundance of free passes and Bauer has proven to be no exception to that rule. The good news is that Bauer appears on the verge of putting that problem in the rear view mirror.

Bauer has been sharp in his limited duty with the big club and his work at AAA this season has been outstanding. Maybe it’s just a tease, but off what I’ve seen from Bauer so far in 2014, I’m willing to bet that he’s arriving as a quality big league starter and that he’s sticking around for keeps this time.

Miguel Gonzalez provides the opposition here. Gonzalez is the prototypical $3-5 starter. His stuff is pretty marginal, although it seems clear to me that Gonzalez is a big time battler who frequently can outpitch his metrics. Nevertheless, Gonzalez is hittable and he’s running headlong into an offense that’s suddenly getting it cranked up. My belief is that the Indians are going to get to Gonzalez for at least a handful of scores today and if Bauer is on his game again, Cleveland will have a great chance to win this.

I like the way this Tribe lineup is constructed when they’re facing a righty opponent. The Indians look as though they’re going to be vulnerable against tough lefties, but Gonzalez obviously does not fall into that category. As for Baltimore vs. Bauer, it’s likely to come down to balls and strikes. If Bauer can avoid free passes and bad counts, he’s probably a winner here. There’s no question in my mind that the Bauer buy sign has been flashed and I’m willing to back him and the Indians as underdogs today.

MLB Comp Pick for Sunday, May 25, 2014: 1:35 PM ET

MLB (957) WASHINGTON NATIONALS VS (958) PITTSBURGH PIRATES

Take: (958) PITTSBURGH PIRATES

Reason: When the Pittsburgh Pirates picked up Francisco Liriana they legitimately thought they had found the Ace of their staff. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case as Liriano is 0-4 this season with a 4.86 ERA. However, records can be deceiving and case in point here is that the Bucs have won five of the last six times Liriano has started. And lets face it, that's why they got him, to win games. Liriano did have a rough outing last time out against the Orioles, allowing six earned runs over nine innings. But, even in the loss there was good news and that was the fact that Liriano got 10 ground ball outs versus just one fly ball out. If the southpaw can continue that type of pitching the wins will come. Doug Fister gets the start for the Nats today. Fister is 1-1 with a 3.93 ERA. Fister has just three starts this season, though two have been quality. Fister mised the first part of the season with a back injury. Good matchup here today, but I look for Liriano to finally break that win slump and get in the victory. Your Bonus Play is on the Pittsburgh Pirates.
