Las Vegas - Back to the German Bundesliga and we're taking a look at Bayern Munich vs. Eintracht Frankfurt. NO ONE in their right and is gonna lay $700 to win back $100 on Bayern, well, almost no one, so we have found another way to make you money. The Over/Under goal total is listed at 3.5, and we're going Over, WAY OVER. Why? OH do we have a WHY! And its name is REVENGE! Bayern is at the top of the Bundesliga table, but The Bavarians were HUMILIATED the last time they played the Hot Dogs in Frankfurt, losing 5-1. Frankfurt's actual nickname is the Eagles, but tell me that the HOT DOGS ain't perfection. SO, now, Bayern catches the Hot Dogs in Munich, with revenge on the table and a scoring machine that never stops. Bayern has scored 75 goals in 26 games, while the Hot Dogs have managed just 39. Look for The Bavarians to net at least four goals, maybe five, or even six. O...O...OVER BAAABBEEE!!!

Also looking at Borussia Dortmund vs. VFL Wolfsburg Over 3 goals. The game is at Wolfsburg but the kids from Dortmund need a W here to keep up with Bayern before this coming Tuesday's match at home, which could determine the Bundesliga champion. Borussia, or, The Black and Yellows, came back from the lockdown with a 4-0 bagel against Schalke 04 last week, and will look to fill the net again. In their last match back in November, Dortmund fed Wolfsburg a 3-0 bagel, and they love to push the envelope. Actually, if you want some really geeky soccer stat, The Black and Yellows work creating chances is top shelf. It's THE BEST in the league, with an 82.4% pass completion percentage in the attacking third. Might drop a very light play on Dortmund to get a road win at -$135, but the big pile of chips is all over the OVER BAAABBEEE!!!

And my main horse dude, Martin Calia, is back with some winning selections from Churchill Downs.

You have the floor Marty...

I'll start with the 9th race which is the Blame Stakes. Like number 3 Global Campaign to win but will add the 8, Owendale, to start the pick three.
The 10th race is the Matt Winn Stakes at a mile and a sixteenth. Number 10 Maxfield is undefeated (2-2) and hasn't raced since winning the Breeders Futurity at Keeneland last October. He has been sidelined since with a minor bone chip and this will be his first start as a three year old. Until he was sidelined, he was considered the probable Derby favorite. Right now he sits with only 10 qualifying Derby points, but a much needed win will tie him for eighth place with Authentic. If you can get past the layoff and the fact that he is a closer, there is a lot to like about this horse. He is trained by Brendan Walsh who has him working better than he did last year. I took a look back to see his workouts as a 2 year old and none compare to his last two works on May 10th and May 16th. On the 10th he worked 5f (furlongs) in 59.2 breezing from the gate. That work was the fastest of the day. On the 16th he worked 4f in 47.2 breezing. He is the only Grade 1 winner in the field and broke his maiden at Churchill Downs. As Ecks & Bacon would say, this is my BEST BET BAAABBEEE!!! The bet is $50 win and place on number 10 Maxfield, and, a $5 exacta wheeling number 10 with all the other horses.

The pick three races are 9-10-11. Got a $5 bill on 3/8 in the 9th, the 10 in the 10th and 5/6 in the 11th.
