KEY STAT: England are unbeaten in their last 17 qualifying matches at Wembley with 14 wins

EXPERT VERDICT: England have a perfect record in their Euro 2016 qualifying group which has enabled them to easily qualify for the finals in France, but they face a tricky test against Switzerland at Wembley and the draw could be the best bet. The Swiss side are battling hard and their extra motivation could be enough to gain a point.

KEY STAT: Bordeaux have not conceded a first-half goal in their last five league games

EXPERT VERDICT: PSG have looked as good as ever when picking up a perfect 12 points from their opening four games and should have the beating of a Bordeaux side with indifferent form this term. Bordeaux have kept things tight early on but will likely be undone by the attacking flair of the Parisians.

EXPERT VERDICT: Cambuur have lost their last two games 6-1 and 4-1 and could be on the end of another beating courtesy of PSV. The Eredivisie champions have faltered on the road but bounced back to form with a 3-1 win at home to Feyenoord. They should have too much class for Cambuur.

KEY STAT: Nantes scored just 17 goals in 19 home league games last season

EXPERT VERDICT: Nantes have recorded two 1-0 home wins this season but could struggle to overcome high-flying Rennes. The home team find goals hard to come by and these teams fought out two uninspiring draws last term. Rennes surprised when beating Lyon in their last away game but may not have the tools to unlock the Nantes defence.

WNBA Betting Recap: 8/31-9/6
By Joe Williams

League Betting Notes (from Monday, Aug. 31 through Sunday, Sept. 6)

-- Favorites went 9-4 straight up
-- Favorites went 7-6 against the spread (ATS)
-- Home teams posted a 8-5 SU record
-- Road teams posted a 7-6 ATS record
-- The 'under' went 8-5

Team Betting Notes

-- Tulsa (14-15) split a pair of games in the past week, and they went 1-1 ATS during the span, too. However, over their past seven games they're an impressive 6-1 ATS. The 'over' hit in each of their two games this week, too.

-- The late resurgence for Los Angeles (12-17) continues, as they won each of their two games this week. They have won six of the past seven overall, and they're 4-3 ATS during the span. The 'over' has also been a good bet, going 2-0 in the past week and 5-2 in the past seven.

-- Atlanta (11-17) has picked up the pace lately, at least in terms of against the number. The Dream is 5-0-1 ATS in their past six games, and 8-1-1 ATS over the past 10 games overall.

-- Chicago (19-11) had a perfect week both straight up and against the spread, going 2-0 SU/ATS. Elena Delle Donne and company have won five of their past six games overall.

-- Washington's (15-14) late-season slide continues, as they dropped all three of their games this week while going 1-2 ATS. The Mystics have dropped six of their past seven games overall, and they're 1-3 ATS over the past four outings. The one consistent things about Washington has been the 'under', which has hit in five of the past six and eight of the past 10.

-- The season cannot end soon enough for San Antonio (7-25), which had another losing week. That includes a 30-point loss at the hands of Phoenix (19-10). Over the past eight games the Stars are a dismal 1-7 ATS, while 'under' has hit in six of those eight outings.

-- Speaking of the Mercury, they were perfect in the past week while going 2-0 ATS. The 'under has also hit in four straight for the Merc, and 9-3 in their past 12 games.

-- Indiana (18-10) split their games this week, winning at home against Connecticut while losing on the road in Minnesota. The Fever have had a great season under rookie head coach Stephanie White, as they're heading to the playoffs for an 11th straight season. However, the Fever is just 1-5 ATS over the past six outings.

 

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

Preview: Fever (18-13) at Mystics (16-15)

Date: September 08, 2015 7:00 PM EDT

The Washington Mystics' magic number is one with three games remaining.

While a third consecutive playoff berth seems like a lock, it's hardly a guarantee with the way they've been playing.

The Mystics try to avoid a fifth straight defeat and gain some ground on the third-place Indiana Fever on Tuesday night at the Verizon Center.

Washington (16-15) looked like a sure bet to make the playoffs after a 79-61 win at Western Conference-leading Minnesota on Aug. 19. That moved it within two games of first place in the East, but it's since lost six of seven.

The Mystics have a three-game lead over Atlanta and could have eliminated the Dream from playoff contention Sunday but suffered a 73-67 defeat at Philips Arena. Washington and Atlanta conclude the season Sunday at the Verizon Center.

Even if the Mystics fail to win another game, they'll still be back into the playoffs if the Dream lose one of their remaining three.

Washington is 10-5 at home but has lost four of the last five regular-season meetings with Indiana in the nation's capital. In the last one Aug. 11, Tamika Catchings scored 10 of her 20 points in the fourth quarter to lead Indiana to a 73-62 victory.

Although the Fever (18-13) are headed to the playoffs for a WNBA-record 11th consecutive season, their seeding is far from set. They're two games ahead of the Mystics as they try to avoid an opening-round series against East-leading New York and trail second-place Chicago by 1 1/2 games for home-court advantage in the first round.

Like Washington, Indiana also hasn't looked much like a playoff team lately, having dropped four of five. The Fever went 3 of 12 from 3-point range and were outscored 40-28 in the paint in Friday's 81-65 loss at Minnesota.

Shenise Johnson, Indiana's second-leading scorer at 11.2 points per game, had four in 21 minutes and is averaging 6.0 points in her last three contests.

The Mystics haven't been getting much offensive production from Stefanie Dolson, who also averages 11.2 points. The 6-foot-5 Dolson, eighth in the league in shooting at 50.0 percent, is averaging 6.5 points and 34.3 percent shooting in her past four games.

She was limited to six points in last month's meeting with Indiana while center Emma Meesseman, second on Washington with 11.8 points, went scoreless in 17 minutes.

 

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

Preview: Storm (9-22) at Lynx (21-11)

Date: September 08, 2015 8:00 PM EDT

Though gaining home-court advantage throughout the WNBA playoffs now appears unlikely, the Minnesota Lynx remain on the verge of another Western Conference regular-season title.

The Lynx begin a home-and-home series with the non-contending Seattle Storm on Tuesday night needing just one win to clinch the West's No. 1 seed for the fourth time in five seasons.

A 75-71 home loss to East-leading New York on Sunday put the celebration on hold and lessened Minnesota's chances of overtaking the Liberty for the league's best record.

Minnesota (21-11) trails New York by 1 1/2 games with two remaining.

Winning the West still seems like a foregone conclusion, especially considering the Storm's 2-14 road record and lack of success in Minneapolis. Including the playoffs, Seattle (9-22) has dropped 14 straight at the Target Center and was blown out twice there earlier this season, losing by a combined 49 points.

The Storm, who last won in Minnesota on July 17, 2010, have lost all three season meetings and five straight in the series.

They'll be facing a Lynx team that's lost five of eight and not at full strength, however, with All-Stars Seimone Augustus and Lindsay Whalen out with injuries. Augustus, who's averaged a team-best 17.0 points in the three matchups, has missed six straight with a sprained foot and Whalen two straight with a sore Achilles.

Maya Moore did play against the Liberty despite being elbowed in the nose Friday and tallied 23 points, but the Lynx turned it over on four of their final five possessions after pulling within 73-71 with 2 1/2 minutes left.

"Our offensive execution was subpar, especially at key times," coach Cheryl Reeve told the Lynx's official website. "We just had too many empty possessions, particularly in the second half - mostly in the second half."

The Storm were officially eliminated from playoff contention with Sunday's 93-65 loss at Chicago, their second straight defeat after a 3-1 home stretch.

Rookie Jewell Loyd was Seattle's lone bright spot, matching season highs with 21 points and seven rebounds in the Chicago native's first game in her hometown.

"I tried to let it not get the best of me but I had great teammates that helped settle me down," Loyd told the team's official website.

Loyd is averaging 18.3 points over the last three games but has struggled against Minnesota, mustering only 16 points on 7 of 24 shooting in the three previous meetings.

The teams will meet again Friday in Seattle.

The contender this time is RARE EAGLE. Many top players know speed is is key. This interesting entrant has credentials with a 60 average rating. That 53 speed fig clocked in the last race puts this contender in the mix today. FLIP THE TABLE - He has been battling strongly and the TrackMaster Speed Ratings are among the best in the bunch. Been running with some tougher customers of late, has a distinct class edge. (Average Rating 63). THE DATE ROCKER - With a 24pct ROI, this driver/conditioner has produced very good dividends of late for bettors.

LAUREN'S FANCY will not be denied the win in this one and look at those decent morning line odds. Have an instinct this one might thieve in here. WHEN TWO FOOLS MET - Seems to have a very nice class advantage based on the opponents she has faced. Dibenedetto and Campbell have a good working relationship. Outstanding results from their contests. I DEAL VIC - Can't overlook based on TrackMaster Speed Ratings which have been terrific (75 avg) these days. Been battling with some tougher customers of late, has a distinct class edge. (Average Rating 76).

# 2 ZINA STREET 8/1


# 3 MINDFULNESS 5/1


# 5 MY BID 4/1


ZINA STREET has a solid shot to take this affair especially at such a decent 8/1. She has earned solid numbers under today's conditions and should fare well versus this field. Win percentage one of the top in this field. MINDFULNESS - She has garnered quite good figures under today's conditions and will probably fare well versus this group. Exhibits the look of a profitable play, averaging a solid 70 Equibase Speed Figure which is one of the most favorable in this group. MY BID - Should definitely be considered for this race if only for the very strong speed figure posted in the last contest. Shows sound Equibase speed figs on average overall when matched with the rest of this group of horses in this race.

# 4 TEQUILA AND SALT 9/2


# 8 LOW TIRE 30/1


# 9 CHECK OR A WRECK 6/5


TEQUILA AND SALT has a strong shot to take this race. Franklin will almost certainly be able to get this filly to break out sharply for this event. Could wake up with Lasix change (with second time Lasix) today. A nice ROI of +10 with this jockey and handler duo. LOW TIRE - Nance has a sharp win percent with horses racing in dirt sprint races. CHECK OR A WRECK - The speedy return to the races points to a formidable effort today. Has a solid shot in this competition if you like back class.

#10 FOXEY'S FANCY ONE (ML=9/2)
#7 TUFFY COTTRELL (ML=6/1)
#3 LADBROOK (ML=6/1)


FOXEY'S FANCY ONE - I wouldn't worry too much about the vacation; this horse is ready to run today. Just missed hitting the board on June 8th at Mountaineer. With decent odds in this event, he has my interest. You may want to overlook that last event at Mountaineer on a muddy track where he finished off the board. Should do well in this race on a fast track. This horse might as well call Mountaineer home. Don't overlook how he races well over this track. TUFFY COTTRELL - This gelding is in good physical condition, having run a good race on August 18th, finishing third. LADBROOK - Trainer Hackney moves this horse down in class to face a weaker class today. Look for a strong race at this level. This gelding is in exceptional form right now. Finished third last time out and comes back promptly.

Vulnerable Contenders: #4 SUTTER'S FIND (ML=2/1), #2 RECHARGED (ML=7/2),

SUTTER'S FIND - Equibase speed figs tell a tale of declining physical condition. RECHARGED - Tough to put your money on the win end of any horse that finishes second and third as frequently as this thoroughbred does. This less than sharp equine ran a run-of-the-mill speed rating last out. He shouldn't show signs of improvement and will probably get beat in today's event running that number.

#5 CHILLIN' IT (ML=6/1)
#3 CASH IS PRIME (ML=3/1)
#13 FIT FOR A BALL (ML=10/1)
#14 WICKLOW GRAY LADY (ML=12/1)


CHILLIN' IT - The August 15th race at Penn National was at a class level of (72). Dropping down the ladder based on class rating points a significant amount, so she should be in a good spot. It looks like Rodriguez had to know this filly on Aug 15th when riding her for the initial time. Back on again today. Another way to assign class is earnings per race entered. This horse has the uppermost in the bunch. I think she'll be close at the end. CASH IS PRIME - Hernandezorteg comes to saddle up after getting to know the filly in the last contest. When Hernandezorteg and Farro partner up on equines the ROI has been wonderful at +22. FIT FOR A BALL - Reese drops her down to this level. You don't need too much more data to think this one will be tough to beat at this level. Acosta is up for another affair today after riding aboard this horse for the first time on Aug 9th and ought to know the ropes to this one a little better. Trainer, Reese, has been deliberate with this filly off the layoff. Look for a solid effort today. WICKLOW GRAY LADY - This jockey and handler's animals have been producing a positive return on investment.

Vulnerable Contenders: #11 FOLLY FASHION (ML=4/1),

FOLLY FASHION - Should have at least finished in the money in the last couple months in a sprint race to be worth it at minimal odds in a sprint.

Best Bet: IDOLE DUHARAS (11th)

Spot Play: ROSIES POCKETS (5th)


Race 1

(1) TOUGH AFFAIR showed little from the outside vs. a tough winner that came back to win a Grand Circuit stake in her next start. She should be much better here vs. Grassroots foes starting from the outside. (4) MOONLIGHT COCKTAIL showed marked improvement last time when dropped out of OSS Gold company and looks like one of the main contenders here. (2) TALA SEELSTER has been great at grabbing minor shares and should be on the ticket here.

Race 2

(3) MARIANA has won 1/2 her starts and hit the exacta in every one of them, improving her speed along the way. She looks best here. (1) MAJESTIC PRESENCE is capable of laying down some testing fractions for her opposition to overcome if she stays flat, which seems like a big if. (2) MYRETIREMENTTICKET raced in open company last time, showing little. Racing in a restricted race vs. her own sex gives her a better chance to share here.

Race 3

(4) MAGICAL STEPH has been solid all summer and has a tactical turn of speed that her foes here likely can't match; top call. (7) HAILEYSGONEDANCING was a sharp winner at long odds two back then took a shuffle in a race where the outer flow just kept coming. She's in with a good shot here. (5) DAYLINER looks best of the rest to complete the tri.

Race 4

(6) MYSTIC DANCE is a full-sister to several winners including this year's Mistletoe Shalee winner Moonlit Dance. She showed enough in her lone qualifier to get top call here. (5) LADY MARINA closed well against a tough winner last week and is the one to beat. (4) DANISH N COFFEE has faced mostly stakes company but has also failed once in this class and is sure to be overbet picking up Filion. Keep on pick 4 tickets but beware a very short price in the win pool.

Race 5

(7) ROSIES POCKETS faced much better last time and wasn't disgraced. Vanderkemp may try to take this one right down the road. (1) WICHITA JAZZ was a strong 2nd last time but has now missed a week and the rail may not be the best post for her. (5) MATZA MAN debuts vs. older but can contend here right away.

Race 6

(4) LISEBERG has reeled off two easy front-stepping wins and is the one the one to chase down late here. (2) MALIA was a strong 2nd to a winner that was dropping out of stakes last week and looks like the only other contender. (9) SMASH HIT is another that is capable but seems to have serious gait issues.

Race 7

(5) LIVE AND LEARN had plenty of pace late last week but was pushed wide as others that were covered up the entire mile slipped off the rail as some of the leaders faded. He's got a good shot here if he can latch onto some decent cover. (1) B N BAD was pressing a quick pace in the same race and just failed to hold on. He would be no surprise here. (3) JUSTALITTLELUCK was also involved in the destructive pace of that race and should get a better trip here and contend for the win.

Race 8

(5) POWERFUL GLARE dropped out of OSS Gold company last week and won as expected. He faces a group with few real contenders and should be tough again. (8) I WANT KANDY had faced one of the best in the division the past two starts and should do much better back in against Grassroots rivals. (7) TRAVIATA comes off two solid wins but the top two are tougher than what she has faced.

Race 9

(5) IM A GIFT - the trotting-bred pacer - had a horrible trip last time from the 10-hole and still managed to finish 4th. He can beat this group with a decent steer although there is no guarantee that is forthcoming; demand a price. (6) SABINE PASS was nailed right on the wire by an improving colt and he should be right there again vs. these. (4) WILDCAT HILTON was a solid 3rd in his first race on the big circuit, retains Jamieson and can improve.

Race 10

(4) FREE SHOW has faced and beaten the best company and forms half of a potent 1-2 punch here for trainer Menary along with (5) MANIANA. The latter was an impressive winner last week and could threaten the choice here who has missed some time. (6) BETTY HILL looks best of the rest but is more likely for a minor award.

Race 11

(9) IDOLE DUHARAS was a sharp winner of two straight then claimed by Puddy. It appears only some kind of a crazy pace duel could get him beat here. (3) WHO DEY is always closing for a good share but comes off a vet scratch; mixed signals. (7) VAL AMERICA reversed tactics last time but couldn't keep up with the choice. Look for him to be closing here and passing horses late. (5) POKER HAT is usually very tough in this class but the miscue last week is concerning. (1) SWEET COLT OF MINE should sit a good following trip here and take a share.

Best Bet: ARQUE HANOVER (12th)

Spot Play: SAVIANO AS (2nd)


Race 1

(2) TWIN B STINGRAY gets some needed post relief, was Bartlett's choice and appears a good fit in this weak field. (1) JET PASSING should be taking control early from the rail spot. (5) STELLA'S PHELLA is still seeking that elusive first win but he's been racing well for Shane Darish.

Race 2

(5) SAVIANO AS makes his local debut for trainer Anette Lorentzon and that's been a good angle all season. (6) MADHATTER BLUECHIP ships in for Svanstedt off a decent qualifier, where he finally minded his manners; Dube drives. (4) MUGSHOTS BRO has been racing evenly lately, and that kind of effort can be enough for third money.

Race 3

(5) WISHING YOU WELL has missed a few weeks but does race second-time Lasix and has been facing tougher. (1) ARROW seems to outrace his odds every start and he's a threat from the rail. (4) BRICKMAN should be on the move early with Sears.

Race 4

(1) FOREVER AS has done nothing wrong recently and the filly seeks her 5th straight score. (2) KIRSI HANOVER took control upon arrival but was swallowed up by the top choice; filly may be second best again. (6) MUSCLES AND SPICE has hit the board in four of five since arriving locally and the well-mannered trotter will be a factor here.

Race 5

(3) DOUBLE YOUR BET gets serious post relief in his second start since joining the Banca barn and clearly he's very logical from this spot. (1) SAY IT AGAIN SAM shipped in from Charlottetown, raced for 10 times the money and scored upon arrival; he's a repeat candidate. (2) MAJOR WAR should go well from this inside spot.

Race 6

(1) PRAIRIE FORTUNE ships in from Pennsylvania on quite a roll and it looks like he only needs to behave himself to win again. (5) HYWAY MARCUS has been solid since catch-drivers have taken over the Del Cid trainee. (2) COUNSELLOR AS is another Lorentzon trainee who should be competitive here.

Race 7

(11) MONROE COUNTY has kept up ner nice form in her two starts for Renaud off the claim and she may only be a smooth second-tier trip away from returning to winner's circle glory. (1) MASSIVE TALENT returns from Saratoga for Allard, draws an inside spot on the gate and looms the one to beat. (2) TURTLE EXPRESS also arrives from upstate and looks like a good fit.

Race 8

(3) CAPTURETHEMEMORY is fresh Allard stock who has been quite formful recently at The Meadows; mare could pay instant dividends from this spot. (4) ALMAFI COAST has been a bit inconsistent for Banca but he clearly fits with these. (6) WHATNBLAZES gets Abbatiello back in the bike and could be considered at a price.

Race 9

(3) LUKAS HALL drops down to a more reasonable level after being in too tough last out and he should fit nicely from this spot in this competitive event. (1) CARNEGIE is not the most prolific winner out there but the veteran must be included. (5) TRADING PLACES was claimed last out by the raging Banca barn and she's been sharp.

Race 10

(10) OHO DIAMOND was a totally dominating winner last out and he gets a free ride at this level; repeats. (3) ROYAL MALINDA gets some class relief and it always seems she should be better than what she shows; Bartlett drives today. (6) SILVER CREDIT may be in line for a smoother trip today.

Race 11

(1) VIBE BLUE CHIP returns locally for Allard and he's been a winner with this type in the past. (4) CASH ME OUT ships in from Saratoga, where he's been pretty sharp; Carlson drives and he looks like a good fit. (10) BRICKYARD CLASSIC was uncovered last out and was turned away; he can save ground and maybe shake free at a price.

Race 12

(6) ARQUE HANOVER returns in a much softer spot for Casie Coleman and it looks like the 3-year-old should steamroll over these. (1) ON THE BIG SWING steps up to face tougher, but he draws best and is in shape now. (2) CUNDALINI hung off a trip last out; he will be close up again.

Preview: Braves (55-83) at Phillies (53-85)

Game: 2
Venue: Citizens Bank Park
Date: September 08, 2015 7:05 PM EDT

The Atlanta Braves have ended their worst single-season losing streak since 1977, but the prospects of a repeat effort don't seem high. The last time Atlanta won consecutive road games, it was four out of first place and teetering at .500.

Weight has since been loaded almost entirely on the loss column. Promise has been drained from the season, but the Braves can at least try to continue holding off the last-place Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park with Ryan Weber making his major league debut.

The Braves (55-83), who last won two in a row on the road during a three-game streak June 28-July 7, had dropped 12 straight overall and 13 in a row away from home before Monday's 7-2 win over Philadelphia. The team's 12-hit effort matched its best over a 4-23 span that had it within a game of matching the Phillies (53-85) for baseball's worst record.

Andrelton Simmons was 3 for 4 to break an 0-for-18 slump, and Hector Olivera was 2 for 5 with a home run, double and four RBIs after going 2 for 15 in his first five big league games.

"I'm just happy I could contribute and help the club win," Olivera said through an interpreter. "I feel that it builds more confidence, and the more we get going, I'll start feeling better. All in all I'm just happy we were able to get the win."

The Braves passed baseball's longest losing streak down to Philadelphia at five. The Phillies, in danger of matching their season-low water mark of 33 games under .500, have scored two runs in three straight games with Ryan Howard in an 0-for-19 slump over his last five.

"That was a disappointing start to the homestand," interim manager Pete Mackanin told MLB's official website. "We caught a team that's down, and we couldn't do a whole lot."

It hasn't been any better on the mound as they've posted a 6.77 ERA over a 3-11 span, and rookie Aaron Nola (5-2, 4.02 ERA) was even worse than that in his last start after two extremely promising outings. Nola had allowed one run and five hits over his past 15 innings before surrendering a season-high six runs and nine hits over four in Wednesday's 9-4 loss at the New York Mets.

"I felt good out there," Nola said. "Things kind of just unraveled. I missed a couple spots and they really made me pay for it."

The right-hander earned a 12-2 home win over Atlanta on Aug. 1, giving up two runs in five innings. Freddie Freeman, who homered Monday and is batting .395 in his last nine games against the Phillies, was 2 for 2.

Weber is debuting less than two months after Nola, joining Atlanta after going 6-3 with a 2.21 ERA in 27 games - six starts - with Triple-A Gwinnett. The right-hander went 2-1 with a 2.81 ERA and .179 opponent batting over his last three starts. In 99 2-3 total minor league innings this season, the 25-year-old has issued just 10 walks.

Atlanta's Cameron Maybin has missed consecutive games due to a left cornea abrasion and is day to day.
