Preview: Dodgers at Brewers


The Los Angeles Dodgers are one win away from a second straight trip to the World Series, but they will have to earn that victory on the road. The Dodgers will try to close out the best-of-seven National League Championship Series when they visit the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday for Game 6.

"It wasn't as easy maybe as last year to get to this point," Los Angeles ace Clayton Kershaw, who pitched a gem in Game 5, told reporters. "I realize we've got some work to finish it off and get back. It doesn't really matter how you get there, but thankful that we are here now, for sure." The Dodgers fell behind 2-1 in the series after dropping Game 3 at home but turned up the pitching over the next two contests and limited the Brewers to a total of three runs in 22 innings in the two wins. "We were unable to score enough runs, really, I think that was the bottom line of the three games here," Brewers manager Craig Counsell told reporters. "We gave ourselves a chance through obviously 12 innings (Tuesday) and six innings (Wednesday) to try to put ourselves in a good spot, and they've done a good job of holding us down offensively." Milwaukee will try to find a way to push some runs across against left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu while making some history by tossing lefty Wade Miley at the start in back-to-back games.


TV: 8:39 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1

PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers LH Hyun-Jin Ryu (1-0, 1.59 ERA) vs. Brewers LH Wade Miley (0-0, 0.00)

Ryu tossed seven scoreless innings to earn a win over the Atlanta Braves during the NL Division Series but was not quite as sharp in Game 2 at Milwaukee. The South Korea native was reached for two runs on six hits over 4 1/3 innings in a no-decision. Ryu did not allow more than two runs in any of his last five starts going back to the regular season and has yet to be reached for more than three earned runs on the season.

Miley started Game 5 but threw only five pitches, issuing a walk to Cody Bellinger, before being replaced by right-hander Brandon Woodruff in a surprise move designed to give Milwaukee a matchup advantage. "It's not my job to question it," Miley told reporters. "We're trying to get to the World Series. This is the strategic side of it. I was in. Everybody bought in." Miley dominated Los Angeles in Game 2, scattering two hits over 5 2/3 innings without factoring in the decision.

WALK-OFFS


1. Brewers star RF Christian Yelich is 3-for-20 without an extra-base hit in the series.

2. Los Angeles RHP Pedro Baez has thrown 6 2/3 scoreless innings and allowed a total of two hits with 10 strikeouts in six postseason appearances.

3. Milwaukee navigated Game 5 without using relievers Josh Hader, Corey Knebel or Jeremy Jeffress, and all three should be ready to go Friday.

PREDICTION: Brewers 4, Dodgers 2

Preview: Panthers at Capitals


The Florida Panthers look to avoid a fifth straight loss to open the season when they visit the defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals on Friday night. The Panthers, who came into the season with high expectations after finishing 2017-18 with a 25-8-2 record over the last 35 contests, have dropped all four games by a goal - two in shootouts.

“It’s going to happen. We just got to stick with it,” Florida coach Bob Boughner told reporters after a 6-5 shootout setback at Philadelphia on Tuesday. “But we’ve got some things to clean up. We scored five goals on the road, we won the special teams battle and I thought we were more desperate. … There’s a lot of good, but there’s still some bad in our game we have to eliminate.” The Panthers have to get their power play going (1-for-15) and must deal with a Washington man-advantage unit that has converted nine of 23 opportunities in the first six games. Evgeny Kuznetsov has recorded all of his four goals on the power play and captain Alex Ovechkin scored twice with the man advantage in Wednesday’s 4-3 overtime victory over the New York Rangers. “In order to completely take (Ovechkin) away, other guys are just too open, and they’re good enough to score,” Washington defenseman Matt Niskanen, who scored the winner Wednesday, told reporters. “. … Our power play is set up well with what hands guys are and their skill sets, so we have a lot of different options. Guys are good at reading what’s open. It’s pretty lethal.”

TV: 7 p.m. ET, TVA, FS Florida, NBCS Washington

ABOUT THE PANTHERS (0-2-2): Forward Frank Vatrano scored his first two goals of the season at Philadelphia on Tuesday to share the team lead with captain Aleksander Barkov and Evgenii Dadonov. Aaron Ekblad, the first-overall pick in the 2014 draft, seeks his first point of the season Friday while fellow defenseman Keith Yandle has four assists in the early going. Goalie James Reimer, who was rested Tuesday in favor of Michael Hutchinson, is expected back in net after allowing eight goals on 62 shots in the previous two contests.

ABOUT THE CAPITALS (3-2-1): Washington’s top performers are all off to strong starts with Kuznetsov leading the way at 10 points while Ovechkin (six goals), Nicklas Backstrom and defenseman John Carlson have each contributed nine. Carlson, who is coming off his best season in which he produced 15 goals and 68 points, has registered four multi-point performances in the first six contests. Sixteen players have notched a point for Washington, but forward Andre Burakovsky (50 career goals, 120 points career) has yet to find the scoresheet and owns a minus-4 rating.

OVERTIME

1. Ovechkin has 232 power-play goals, tied for ninth in NHL history with Dino Ciccarelli and two behind Marcel Dionne for eighth.

2. Florida D Mike Matheson will serve the second contest of a two-game suspension for an illegal hit Saturday.

3. Backstrom had a pair of assists Wednesday and needs two to become the first Capital to reach 600.

Preview: Wild at Stars


The Dallas Stars hope to find their offense again when they come home for the first of three games, starting with a visit from the Central Division-rival Minnesota Wild on Friday night. The Stars scored 17 times while winning three of four during a season-opening, four-game homestand before managing one goal total while dropping their last two contests in Ottawa and New Jersey.

“I see a big difference between how the majority of our players play at home and on the road,” first-year Dallas coach Jim Montgomery told reporters. “That’s something that we have to address. That’s between the ears.” The Stars will try to capitalize on home ice first - where they went 26-12-3 last season - and sustain more possession in the offensive end against a Minnesota team that has gained points in four of the last five games. The Wild have lost their only two road games to Colorado and Nashville, but rallied for a 2-1 victory over Arizona on Tuesday at home as Eric Staal scored the only goal of the third period. “I think we’re getting closer to our style and closer to our game,” Staal told reporters. “I think our execution can still get better, but it’s getting better. We’re spending more time in the offensive zone. I think we’re making the plays that we need to.”

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network

ABOUT THE WILD (2-2-2): Left wing Zach Parise, who missed 40 games because of injury last season, is healthy and producing in the early going with a goal and six assists for a team-high seven points along with a plus-4 rating. Forward Jason Zucker, who boasts a team-high 22 shots, leads Minnesota with three goals and defenseman Ryan Suter has contributed five points. Captain Mikko Koivu missed Tuesday’s game to be with his wife, who was in labor, and could return this weekend while Matt Read got recalled after fellow forward Matt Hendricks suffered a lower-body injury against Arizona which is expected to keep him out 2-to-3 weeks.

ABOUT THE STARS (3-3-0): Dallas’ high-scoring forwards put up big numbers on the season-opening homestand as Tyler Seguin, Alexander Radulov and captain Jamie Benn totaled 27 points, but the trio had only one on the trip. Seguin, who had three goals and five assists in four games against Minnesota last season, and Radulov each have 10 points in 2018-19 while defenseman John Klingberg boasts four goals - three in the last four contests. Forward Valeri Nichushkin (one point) is expected to miss Friday’s game with general soreness, but defenseman Marc Methot practiced Thursday after sitting out Tuesday’s contest.

OVERTIME

1. The teams split four games last season, but the Wild have earned at least a point in seven of the last nine meetings (6-2-1).

2. The Stars have converted seven of their 18 opportunities on the power play, including three goals from Benn.

3. Minnesota F Joel Eriksson Ek (lower-body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

Preview: Predators at Flames


The Nashville Predators are looking like a team bent on making a return to the Stanley Cup Finals, winning five of the first six games this season. The only blemish for the Predators is a loss in their home opener, but they'll get a chance to avenge that defeat in the first leg of a two-game Alberta road trip at the Calgary Flames on Friday night.

"At the end of the day, we know how we need to play to have success against these kinds of teams, but it's a good test for the group," Predators defenseman Yannick Weber said of the back-to-back against Calgary on Friday and Edmonton the following night. Nashville responded to that loss to the Flames by ripping off three straight victories -- all at home -- and will have three days off since knocking off the Minnesota Wild 4-2 on Monday night. Calgary had a statement win in only its second home game of the year, snapping the Boston Bruins' four-game winning streak with a 5-2 victory Wednesday. The Flames got a scare when star forward Johnny Gaudreau exited the game and went into the league's concussion protocol but Sportsnet reported that he was feeling "no significant effects" Thursday.

ABOUT THE PREDATORS (5-1-0): Coach Peter Laviolette praised his fourth line of Colton Sissons, Zac Rinaldo and Miikka Salomaki, who are often matched up against the opposition's No. 1 line. "That's something that I pride myself in, and I'm always up to that challenge, whoever I need to go play against," Sissons said. "If I need to shut down a top line or go head-to-head against another team's fourth line, whatever challenge arises, I'm game with it." Filip Forsberg scored his team-high fourth goal against the Wild and Ryan Johansen collected a pair of assists to match Forsberg for the team lead with six points.

ABOUT THE FLAMES (4-2-0): While Gaudreau reached a milestone with the 100th goal of his career in Wednesday's win, veteran forward Michael Frolik returned to the lineup following a one-game scratch to score twice against the Bruins. Calgary has scored at least three goals in each game since a season-opening 5-2 loss at Vancouver. "I like the fact we have the ability to generate offense. Now, we'll work on other things," Flames coach Bill Peters said. "We're not quite there defensively or (with) our play away from the puck in the neutral zone, but when we get there, we'll be a much better team."

OVERTIME

1. Gaudreau, who is tied for the team lead with nine points, has three goals and 15 assists in 13 games versus Nashville.

2. Predators F Viktor Arvidsson has yet to score but has seven assists in 10 games against Calgary.

3. Flames G Mike Smith had 43 saves against the Predators on Oct. 9 for his 37th career shutout.

PREDICTION: Flames 3, Predators 2

Edmonton Eskimos vs. BC Lions Preview and Predictions 10-19-2018 in CFL

CFL Previews 16th October 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 10/16/2018

The BC Lions can clinch a playoff spot when they host the Edmonton Eskimos in a pivotal West Division clash Friday. The Lions languished in last place for the better part of July and August, but have roared back with five wins in their last six games, including an impressive 26-21 road victory against the Calgary Stampeders in Week 18, to move on the cusp of securing a postseason berth after missing out on the playoffs for the first time in 21 years in 2017.


"If you can win in Calgary you can win anywhere," BC quarterback Travis Lulay told reporters. "The challenge going forward is not to feel too good about it as we've got some huge games going forward." The Eskimos stayed alive in the race for a playoff spot with a 34-16 victory over the Ottawa Redblacks. Edmonton ended a touchdown drought of 152 minutes, 21 seconds en route to their highest scoring output in more than a month and hopes to overtake the Lions by posting their first road win since July 26. "We've got two games left and the ball's in our court in terms of getting to the postseason," Edmonton quarterback Mike Reilly told reporters. "We've been terrible on the road so we've got to figure it out because the next game is even bigger than the last one we just played."

TV: 10 p.m. ET, TSN


ABOUT THE ESKIMOS (8-8): Reilly was named one of the CFL's Top Performers of the Week after throwing for 369 yards and a touchdown despite battling the flu against Ottawa while C.J. Gable rushed for 87 yards and a pair of TDs. Bryant Mitchell was the main beneficiary of Reilly's big day as he hauled in a career-high 13 passes for 190 yards and a touchdown while D'haquille 'Duke' Williams, who leads the league in receiving yards (1,454) and touchdown catches (10), was held to five receptions for 39 yards. Defensive end Almondo Sewell, who has been selected to the West Division all-star team in the last five seasons, inked an extension that will keep him Edmonton until 2020.

ABOUT THE LIONS (8-7): Tyrell Sutton racked up 106 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns in his first game action since being acquired from the Montreal Alouettes on Sept. 25. Travis Lulay completed 14-of-26 passes for 193 yards after missing the previous three games with a separated shoulder to help BC post its first win in Calgary since 2014. Linebacker Micah Awe suffered a knee injury against the Stampeders and is questionable for Friday's clash while running back Chris Rainey, who leads the league in kickoff return yards, is likely to be a healthy scratch for the second straight game.


EXTRA POINTS

1. BC is 6-1 at home this season.

2. Edmonton has dropped five consecutive road games.

3. The Eskimos have turned the ball over a league-worst 47 times.


PREDICTION: Lions 24, Eskimos 23

Soccer | Alavés vs Celta Vigo
Play on: Draw +270 at pinnacle

Another winning day yesterday with my free picks.

Celta Vigo is very good at home, they are unbeaten in their last 15 home games and have held both Barcelona and Real Madrid to 2-2 draws and beaten Atletico Madrid but they have drawn their last two home games against much lesser opposition and are now on a five-game winless streak.

Alaves beat Real Madrid in their last game and have won two of their last three away games, though in all fairness their overall away record is poor but they are in decent current form losing just the once in their last seven league games.

Both teams have a lot going for them right now and the value pick is the draw at good odds.

MLB | Dodgers vs Brewers
Play on: Brewers +105 at 5Dimes
Jack’s Free Pick Friday: Milwaukee Brewers +105
I expect the Milwaukee Brewers to get the job done as home underdogs here Friday night and extend this series to a 7th game. They have lost the last two in Los Angeles, and now they return home showing great value tonight.
Wade Miley has dominated the Dodgers in 2018. He is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA while pitching 18 2/3 shutout innings against them across four starts this year. And he has only allowed 13 base runners in those 18 2/3 innings as well.
Miley is also 5-2 with a 2.27 ERA and 1.154 WHIP in 19 starts this season, including 2-0 with a. 2.25 ERA and 1.194 WHIP in eight home starts. He has clearly been one of the most underrated starters in baseball this year. And he has arguably the best bullpen in the league backing him up.
The Brewers are 8-0 in their last eight games following an off day. Milwaukee is 8-2 in Miley’s last 10 starts. The Dodgers are 2-11 in Ryu’s last 13 road starts vs. a team with a winning record. Ryu has been much worse on the road than he’s been at home this season, and over the last few seasons. Bet the Brewers Friday.
