KEY STAT: West Brom have kept one clean sheet in their last 14 matches

EXPERT VERDICT: Manchester City's 2-2 draw with Sunderland has done huge damage to their title hopes and they may not find it easy to bounce back at home to lowly West Brom. A home win is by far the most likely result but Albion are playing well enough to keep the score respectable.

RECOMMENDATION: Man City 2-1

KEY STAT: Wolves have won seven of their last nine away matches

EXPERT VERDICT: Wolves have showed no signs of easing up since sealing promotion and can close in on the League One title be beating Leyton Orient at Brisbane Road. Orient can no longer finish in the top two and their manager, Russell Slade, may choose to rest a few first-choice players in preparation for the play-offs.

EXPERT VERDICT: Leeds have won two of their three games since Massimo Cellino's takeover was rubber-stamped and may have the edge over Nottingham Forest at Elland Road. Forest kept their top-six hopes alive by beating Birmingham 1-0 on Saturday but have not won on the road since February.

KEY STAT: Braintree have failed to score in four of their last six matches

EXPERT VERDICT: Barnet still have a slim chance of reaching the Conference Premier play-offs and can do their best to stay in contention by beating promotion rivals Braintree. The Bees have improved under Martin Allen and may be fresher than their opponents, who are playing their eighth fixture since the start of April.

KEY STAT: Atletico have conceded five goals in ten Champions League games this season

EXPERT VERDICT: This has all the hallmarks of being a tight semi-final and there are unlikely to be many goalscoring opportunities at the Vicente Calderon. However, Chelsea have looked vulnerable on the road this season - both in Europe and the Premier League - and Atletico can take a narrow advantage to Stamford Bridge.

RECOMMENDATION: Atletico 1-0

EXPERT VERDICT: It’s a matter of when not if Paris St-Germain win the French title and they should move a step closer with another three points against lowly Evian. The Champions League exit to Chelsea stunned PSG but they restored confidence with the League Cup success against Lyon on Saturday and can land a comfortable triumph.

BETTY'S ROSE looks to be a decent contender. Has very good front-end speed and will most likely fare well versus this group of horses in this race. The handler wheels this one back in next to no time to race again. Should expect a much improved outing with the drop. SWEETIE TIY - Should be used in the exotic offerings. KAYLAS BUFFY - Earned a very good speed figure last time out.

#3 MISS KRIS (ML=5/1)


MISS KRIS - This rider and handler have a positive ROI when they join forces. I know the barn is serious today. The filly gets Lasix for the 1st time.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 MAKIN MO LOVE (ML=1/1), #5 HALF THE BATTLE (ML=4/1), #2 SAVANNAH STAR F F (ML=9/2),

MAKIN MO LOVE - The speed figures are going downward. I'm not throwing a few bucks at this horse off of that trend. HALF THE BATTLE - Can't bet on this steed in today's sprint of 5 1/2 furlongs. Hasn't even finished in the money in a short distance event lately. SAVANNAH STAR F F - Usually I need a sprinter to have some success lately in short distance events in order to wager on her. Don't believe this racer will do much running in today's event. That last fig was quite unimpressive when compared with today's Equibase class figure.

Have to go with #3 MISS KRIS on the win end if we get at least 1/1 odds

#4 CUD BE RUBY ROBIN (ML=5/1)


CUD BE RUBY ROBIN - Horses that finish in the place spot in Maiden races and finish well ahead of the 3rd horse are generally good bets next time out. This horse has increased her Equibase speed figs in each of the last two races. That kind of progress is telling me this horse is ready. That 51 fig this mare ********** in her last race tells me she's a main player in today's event.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 TAK'ER UP (ML=7/5), #2 SOPHIE GOT EVEN (ML=5/2), #3 CHALK GOT EVEN (ML=4/1),

TAK'ER UP - Didn't finish in the money on December 27th at Turfway Park. Followed it up with another lackluster try. No value in betting on this mount. Probably won't improve off that April 1st race. SOPHIE GOT EVEN - This racer hasn't been close at the wire lately. Difficult to put your dough on this early speedster. Too much speed in the contest. CHALK GOT EVEN - Would have to get better off that third place finish last time to make an impact here.

Bet on #4 CUD BE RUBY ROBIN to win if we can get at least 1/1 odds

Phillies' Hamels closing in on return

The Philadelphia Phillies, who are 8-10, are scheduled to play their 21st game of the season Wednesday at Los Angeles. Left-hander Cole Hamels (left biceps tendinitis) will be activated before that game and make his 2014 debut, meaning that a wait of sorts will be over for manager Ryne Sandberg.

His projected rotation for this season will finally be healthy. That rotation was bolstered with the late addition of free agent A.J. Burnett, whom the Phillies signed on Feb. 16. That was right at the outset of spring training, by which time Hamels was behind as the result of the biceps tendinitis he had developed in November.

"Looking at the rotation once we did sign Burnett in the spring and the possibilities, we'll see it next week," Sandberg said, "when Hamels is in there and we start to see him pitch and see the rotation in complete strength. I've been waiting for that day."

The addition of Hamels will give the Phillies three bona fide No. 1 starters as he joins Burnett and left-hander Cliff Lee.

In addition, fifth starter Roberto Hernandez had given the Phillies a chance to win in every outing before Sunday, when he was lifted after giving up two hits to start the fifth. Both those runners scored, giving the Rockies a 6-3 lead in a game the Phillies came back to win 10-9.

The Phillies' other starter is Kyle Kendrick, who has lost seven consecutive decisions, including two this year, but in four starts this season is 0-2 with a 3.60 ERA.

"So all in all, it's the makings of a solid rotation," Sandberg said. "So to finally have that possibility and to see that (with the return of Hamels) -- I'm anxious for that."
