Bonus Play Tuesday

RAPTORS at CAVALIERS (Wednesday) 8:35 PM

Take: CAVALIERS -10.5

Hey, hats off to the Raptors. I’ve had a nice run with my NBA post-season plays, but the Monday night call on Cleveland was a clear wrong side. There was a brief flirtation with possibly winning and covering when the Cavs went up by three with a handful of minutes still to play. But just when it appeared that Toronto was melting, they reassumed control and went on to the six-point win.

No question about it in my mind, the fear factor no longer exists for the Raptors. They got bombed out in the first two games of this series and looked like a vastly inferior team. But now this series is down to a best-of-three and all the pressure is on the heavily favored Cavaliers.

I think this Cleveland team will respond with a big game as they get back home. It’s not that I’m dismissing what the Raptors just accomplished, but let’s just say consistency has not been their forte and I’m not suddenly a great believer in this Toronto squad. The Cavaliers are still the far more talented entry and one would certainly hope that any overconfidence they might have had is no longer in play.

The NBA post-season zigzag theory, as mentioned previously, is mostly a myth, at last as far as the last several years are concerned. But there is one aspect where it has continued to work extremely well, and Cleveland will fit that particular criteria to a tee in this game. Personally, I’m not a big angle guy, so for me that’s just bonus material.

My bottom line is that Cleveland has yet to lost a home game in these playoffs and aside from the very first game in the opening round when they had to battle hard to stave off the Pistons, it’s been really easy sledding for the Cavs. I expect a super motivated host on Wednesday night and while the suddenly resurgent Raptors aren’t likely to just roll over, I like the Cleveland side to make a strong statement in this game. My Game Four play is on the Cavaliers minus the points.

Jim Feist's Comp MLB Pick, Tuesday, May 24, 2016

Our Bonus Play for Tuesday, May 24, 2016 is in the MLB.

This park is big, great for pitchers, and Chicago plays strong defense. The offense has been away from Wrigley Field for a while and is off a bad week, including a 1-0 loss Sunday night on national TV. Jason Hammel goes for the Cubs, with a 5-1 record and a 2.31 ERA. Opponents are hitting .228 off him for the season, including .212 at home. The under is 3-1-1 in Hammel's last five road starts. St. Louis is home with a gem of its own on the mound in Michael Wacha. He has a 3.60 ERA at home and the last four year he is 15-6 at home with a 2.75 ERA.

Play the Chicago Cubs/St. Louis Cardinals Under the total.

Mets vs Nationals

5* MLB Free Pick Washington Nationals

The Washington Nationals won't be happy with last night's 7-1 loss to NL East rivals New York Mets. I expect the Nats to bounce back with a win Tuesday night with Stephen Strasburg on the bump.

Strasburg (7-0, 2.80) has had a phenomenal start to the year and tossed six innings of one-run ball with 10 strikeouts when he went toe-to-toe with Matt Harvey (3-6, 5.77 ERA) on Thursday. The Nats won the game 9-1 and Harvey was chased off the mound after just 2 2/3 innings of work while giving up nine runs (six earned) on eight hits and a pair of walks.

The Mets are 1-4 in their last five road games and 3-8 in Harvey's last 11 starts. To make matters worse they'll have to do without Lucas Duda for a while as the first baseman will miss for four to six weeks because of a stress fracture in his lower back.

Nationals are 11-1 in Strasburg's last 12 home starts. Nationals are 7-3 in Strasburg's last 10 starts vs. Mets.

Blue Jays vs Yankees

Bonus Play New York Yankees

I'm recommending a play on the Yankees on Tuesday. We've backed NY a couple of times during their 12-5 run on these pages. The Yanks paid off both times and will now attempt to extend their winning streak to six. Nathan Eovaldi has pitched well, winning each of his last three outings, allowing just six earned runs and 17 base runners in 19 IP. If and when he departs, he'll be backed by one of the better pens in MLB. We also expect support at the plate from the Yankee offense. Carlos Beltran and Jacob Ellsbury have been red-hot during the run. R.A. Dickey counters for the Blue Jays. The Jays have won just one of his last eight starts and the knuckleballer has allowed seven HRs in his last five starts. The Jays are 1-5 in his last six against New York. Lastly, Eovaldi has pitched well against AL teams with an OBP of .330 or less, helping his teams to a 16-6 record the last 22 times. Toronto fits the bill, entering tonight with a .315 OBP. I'm recommending a play on the Yankees on Tuesday night. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

TOR vs NYY

1* Bonus Play OVER Jays/Yanks

The visitors turn to RA Dickey (2-5, 4.50 ERA) on Tuesday night, the veteran was rocked for five runs off eight hits (including three home-runs), over six innings in a setback to Tampa Bay on Wednesday. Dickey has shown flashes of brilliance, but for the most part has been consistently inconsistent this season, note that he owns a pedestrian 4.07 ERA in all night games this year. The home side counters with the hard-throwing Nathan Eovaldi (4-2, 4.44), who is coming off his best start of the season, giving up one run over six frames in a victory over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. Like Dickey though, Eovaldi has been all over the map as far as his game-to-game consistency is concerned as evidenced by his poor 4.88 ERA in front of the home town crowd. With these two erratic starters going head-to-head, the OVER does indeed become a legitimate investment possibility.

Mets vs Nationals

Play - Washington Nationals w/Strasburg

Edges - Nationals: Stephen Strasburg 13-0 last thirteen overall team starts, and 7-3 career team starts in this series. Mets: Matt Harvey 3-8 last eleven overall team starts. With the Nats 17–9 under the lights at night this season, we recommend a 1* play on Washington. Thank you and good luck as always.

The Walker Group Picks

# 2 PATRIOTS FIRST PRIZE 4/1

# 1 MOON LACKER 5/2

# 4 SCARLET OAK TREE 7/2

I've got to go with PATRIOTS FIRST PRIZE. Has decent Equibase Class Figures relative to this group of animals - worth a look. Have to think this horse will do well following the quick turnaround. MOON LACKER - Shows signs of the look of a money-making play, averaging a solid 58 speed figure which is one of the top in this group. He looks respectable in this slot and I expect will be on the lead or close at the halfway point. SCARLET OAK TREE - Looks solid for the conditions of this contest today, showing solid numbers in short races as of late. Horses who have been prepared to race at this distance and surface by Stockwell have shown solid results lately.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES

# 4 FRONT YARD 2/1

# 1 O. T. BANDINI 10/1

# 6 DUTCHIE BABY 10/1

I think FRONT YARD is a very good choice. Risk takers ought to take a good look at this one as this gelding has one of the best win percentages at this distance in this field. Very good jockey and handler combo winning 23 percent of their races working together. O. T. BANDINI - Overall, this conditioner has been profitable at this distance/surface. Figueroa's return on investment over the last 30 days automatically makes this racer a sharp contender.

Parx Racing - Race #4 - Post: 2:06pm - Maiden Special - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $50,000 Class Rating: 79

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#6 NORTHERN RAIL (ML=7/2)
#7 LORI'S FOLLY (ML=5/2)
#3 COURT NOTE (ML=5/1)


NORTHERN RAIL - Finished in the place spot, but easily second over the third horse. Those types usually run well next time out. Zip is always important in horse racing, but the lone speed horse is always dangerous. LORI'S FOLLY - A good sign that Linder tries blinks today and this horse in his work started from the gate. Should improve. Silvera and Linder perform well when they unite. It's hard to beat a +55 return on investment for a jockey and trainer. Linder brings him back again. I advise you stay with this live colt. Trainer, Linder, has been deliberate with this colt off the layoff. Look for a solid effort today. COURT NOTE - St Lewis brings him back again. I advocate you stick with this hot gelding. You'll be generating money left and right by turning your racing money onto this jock/handler combination. Look at this gelding's PP lines. With each contest he keeps getting closer. 45-61-68 are last 3 speed figures. Improving each time out is something he should do again in this race. This one isn't the M/L choice, but finished ahead of today's M/L favorite in his last race (Apr 30th at Parx Racing).

Vulnerable Contenders: #8 SOUTHERN KISSES (ML=4/1), #5 MAGICIAN MAN (ML=9/2), #4 PEDREGAL (ML=8/1),

SOUTHERN KISSES - This mount has not won here today in 10 starts. Little chance he wins today. You always believe this animal has a shot to win, but he comes up short regularly. MAGICIAN MAN - I forecast a letdown for this horse in this race. PEDREGAL - This colt finished out of the money on Jul 28th and wasn't close last time around the track either. This colt hasn't had any recent good results in short distance contests. I find it hard to wager on him in this race.

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#1 TERRY BLOSSOM (ML=4/1)


TERRY BLOSSOM - Was in a $16,000 Claiming race at Penn National in the last race. That affair had a class figure of 78 and she is moving down in this race. A certain contender. This mare earned a nice speed rating of 72 in her last clash. That speed rating should be good enough to score this time out. Look at this pattern of improvement. 58/68/72 are the last three speed ratings.

Vulnerable Contenders: #3 OUTWITHBIGDADDY (ML=6/5), #6 FIRST DANCE (ML=3/1), #4 GOLD VALUE (ML=6/1),

OUTWITHBIGDADDY - You should normally gamble against morning-line favorites that haven't raced or show no activity in the morning over the last three weeks. Has been thwarted as the chalk the last two times. A repeat is probably in store. FIRST DANCE - The lack of morning drills has to make one concerned despite the nice performance in the last contest. This questionable contender ran a common speed fig last time around the track. She shouldn't improve and will probably lose in today's race running that rating. GOLD VALUE - No wager value on this participant at the likely odds of 6/1.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: The Brain - TERRY BLOSSOM - One can surmise, given she finished off the board at Penn National last out, that this horse did not like the off track. I expect a chance at a big improvement with better footing today.

# 3 AUTOCORECT HANOVER 3/2

# 8 IDEAL KISS 5/2

# 5 RAMSAY 6/1

AUTOCORECT HANOVER is the clear stand out wager in the eyes of the group. This gelding getting the victory wouldn't be impossible, a chance. Is a substantial win contender given the 68 speed fig from his most recent race. One of the most solid win percentages with this driver-trainer make this gelding dangerous. IDEAL KISS - Had one of the best TrackMaster Speed Ratings of the group of horses in his last race. A good idea to use in your plays. Overall percentages look respectable. Can't throw him out of the picture. RAMSAY - Positive instinct - squaring off well enough to contend in this race.
