Packing It In

April 6, 2015

There is a week to go in the NBA regular season. This means there are professional athletes in the NBA who will be going on vacation in a month, and other players who will be working hard, huffing and puffing 40 minutes per game, right on through until June.

Now let me ask you - Will the majority of the players on the Magic, 76ers, Knicks, T-Wolves and Kings be working as hard as those teams on the NBA playoff bubble, like the Thunder, Suns, Pacers and Celtics? It’s also been an unusual year in that coaches in the second half of the season have given rest to key starters. San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich leaned on this the last few years and now more teams are following. When the Warriors played at Denver last month they opened a 9-point favorite, then plummeted to a 1-point favorite when Coach Steve Kerr announced he was sitting key starters.

It’s the time of year when some disappointed teams play out the schedule and think less about preparing for their next opponent and think more about golf and early spring/summer family vacations. This is understandable, as losing is no fun. Many players on losing teams realize they have no shot at the postseason. Some fans and local newspapers are focused more on where their team will end up in the draft, rather than show an interest in the last few weeks of the season.

Teams like the Knicks and Kings were hoping to have better campaigns. Sacramento is already on its second coach, while a team like Detroit got hot for a short time in mid-season only to fall back to their losing ways of late. A team like Philly has no offense, on a 26-11 run 'under' the total against the Eastern Conference. And a team like the Kings doesn’t care at all about defense, on a 15-5 run 'over' the total. We saw this a year ago with the 76ers on a 6-22 ATS run at home while the Kings went 34-15-2 'over' the total against a team with a winning record.

The Suns traded away two of their top three offensive players at the trading deadline and struggled badly to win and score points, which deflated the whole team during a 2-7 SU, 3-6 ATS run. Meanwhile, one of the beneficiaries of the trade, the Celtics, starting clicking with an impressive three-guard attack anchored by Isiah Thomas Jr., acquired from the Suns.

Injuries and new players added to the roster can make it tougher on bad teams, having to learn new chemistry while taking nightly drubbings. Most teams don't have to deal with learning how to play with new teammates at this point in the season. But this happened a few years ago with the Clippers, when they fired their head coach and played lethargic basketball down the stretch, particularly on defense. That season at the end of January, Los Angeles went on a miserable 7-17 ATS run, and during one stretch gave up over 108 points in five consecutive games.

There are also times when management doesn't really care (though no one will ever admit it). A few months before the Cavaliers drafted LeBron James, Cleveland seemed more interested in setting itself up for the LeBron sweepstakes than playing quality basketball, going 2-13-1 ATS down the stretch. Three years ago, Portland cut Greg Oden, traded away Marcus Camby for nothing and fired Coach Nate McMillan – all in the same week! Think the players are disappointed or giving 100%? The Blazers went 6-18 ATS in their last 24 games as an underdog and 15-5-1 under the total against a team with a winning record.

It's been the year of the Atlanta Hawks. However, during one recent bad season the Hawks completely packed it in, going 6-24 SU/ATS to end the season! You don't always have to back the good teams to win and cover, as there are plenty of go-against spots this time of year!

Giants' Peavy to miss Tuesday start, Vogelsong in

When the San Francisco Giants take on the Arizona Diamondbacks Tuesday, it's going to be Ryan Vogelsong getting the ball for the reigning champs, per Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Jake Peavy was initially scheduled to make the start but said himself Monday that he's going to be skipped this time around. The veteran was roughed up in his final two Cactus League outings, allowing 13 runs over just 6 2/3 innings.

Vogelsong went 8-13 with a 4.00 ERA last season. Rubby De La Rosa will take the bump for the D-Backs.

Wind blowing in at Wrigley Field Tuesday

Wind will blow in from right field at roughly 15 miles per hour when the Chicago Cubs host the St. Louis Cardinals at Wrigley Field Tuesday evening.

Furthermore, forecasts are calling for a 45 percent possibility of showers as the game progresses.

The Cubs are priced at -120 while the total remains off the board.

MLB roundup: Red Sox rock Phils in opener

PHILADELPHIA -- Clay Buchholz combined with two relievers on a three-hit shutout, and the Boston Red Sox hit five home runs to batter the Philadelphia Phillies 8-0 in the season opener Monday afternoon.

Dustin Pedroia and Hanley Ramirez each hit two homers for Boston, with the second by Ramirez a ninth-inning grand slam off reliever Jake Diekman. Mookie Betts went deep of Phillies starter Cole Hamels (0-1).

Buchholz, making his first Opening Day start after going 8-11 with a 5.34 ERA in 2014, did not allow a hit until Ryan Howard doubled on an 0-2 pitch with two outs in the fourth. Philadelphia's Carlos Ruiz and Grady Sizemore also lashed back-to-back singles in the seventh, though Buchholz escaped the inning unscathed.

Red Sox relievers Junichi Tazawa and Tommy Layne each worked a scoreless inning in relief.

A's 8, Rangers 0

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Sonny Gray took a no-hitter into the eighth inning, and Ben Zobrist belted a two-run home run on his first swing for Oakland, helping the Athletics snap a 10-year losing streak on Opening Day.

Gray retired 21 of the first 23 batters he faced before Rangers left fielder Ryan Rua laced a two-strike single to right field to open the eighth. Playing with an entirely new cast behind him than in the 2014 opener with the exception of second baseman Eric Sogard, Gray was pulled with a 7-0 lead after he threw 98 pitches in eight innings. He allowed just the one hit and one walk while striking out three.

Stephen Vogt added a three-run, eighth-inning homer to boost Oakland's lead to 7-0.

Tigers 4, Twins 0

DETROIT -- David Price retired the first 13 batters he faced and fell one out shy of a complete-game five hitter, getting home run support from J.D. Martinez and Alex Avila in pacing Detroit to a victory over Minnesota.

Manager Brad Ausmus was booed when he came out to visit Price after the left-hander gave up a two-out single in the ninth, and he got booed again when he yanked the starter for closer Joe Nathan following an infield single by the Twins first baseman Joe Mauer.

Nathan got formers Tiger right fielder Torii Hunter to look at a called third strike to end the game and record the save.

Dodgers 6, Padres 3

LOS ANGELES -- Shortstop Jimmy Rollins hit a go-ahead three-run home run in the eighth inning, and Los Angeles rallied for a victory over San Diego.

Rollins, who was making his Dodgers debut, tagged reliever Shawn Kelly (0-1) by driving a pitch over the wall in right with one out in the eighth.

Dodgers reliever Joel Peralta (1-0) tossed a scoreless inning for the win. Chris Hatcher earned his first career save. First baseman Adrian Gonzalez also homered for Los Angeles.

Padres center fielder Matt Kemp, a former Dodger, went 2-for-4 and drove in all three San Diego runs.

Marlins 1, Braves 2

MIAMI -- Right fielder Nick Markakis drove in two runs, including the game-winner, as Atlanta defeated Miami.

Jason Grilli, Atlanta's new closer after Craig Kimbrel was traded Sunday, got the save, his first with the Braves. Grilli struck out Marlins right fielder Giancarlo Stanton and first baseman Michael Morse in a 1-2-3 ninth inning.

Atlanta pushed across the winning run in the sixth, breaking a 1-1 tie. Center fielder Eric Young Jr. led off with a double, advanced on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Markakis' ground out to second baseman Dee Gordon. The speedy Young slid under the tag of catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia.

Blue Jays 6, Yankees 1

NEW YORK -- Right-hander Drew Hutchison pitched six outstanding innings, and Toronto opened the season with a victory over New York.

Hutchison, the youngest Opening Day starter in franchise history, allowed a solo home run to left fielder Brett Gardner among three hits. After going 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA in four spring training appearances, the 24-year-old struck out three, walked two and threw 57 of 93 pitches for strikes.

Former Yankees catcher Russell Martin had a two-run single, and first baseman Edwin Encarnacion slugged a two-run home run for Toronto, which scored five times in the top of the third inning against right-hander Masahiro Tanaka (0-1). Blue Jays rookie second baseman Devon Travis added his first career home run.

Rockies 10, Brewers 0

MILWAUKEE -- Corey Dickerson and Nolan Arenado homered, and Kyle Kendrick threw seven shutout innings as Colorado cruised to an Opening Day victory over Milwaukee.

Kendrick, a veteran right-hander in his first season for Colorado, scattered seven hits struck out six without a walk. He even chipped in on offense, scoring a run and accounting for a pair of the Rockies' 16 hits on the day.

Colorado wasted no time getting to Brewers right-hander Kyle Lohse, who gave up three first-inning doubles and found himself in a 4-0 hole after left fielder Dickerson smacked a 1-2 slider into the picnic area in right.

Orioles 6, Rays 2

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Chris Tillman took a shutout into the seventh inning, and Baltimore hit three home runs on the way to a win over Tampa Bay in the season opener.

Alejandro De Aza scored as the first batter of the season, then added a two-run home run. Steve Pearce and Ryan Flaherty also went deep for the Orioles. Tillman lasted 6 2/3 innings, giving up one run on four hits.

It was a disappointing debut for new Rays manager Kevin Cash, whose team committed an error on its first fielding chance and didn't get a hit until the fourth inning. Tampa Bay got a solo home run by Evan Longoria.

Mets 3, Nationals 1

WASHINGTON -- Bartolo Colon allowed one run in six innings, and New York beat Washington Nationals on Opening Day.

Colon allowed just three hits while striking out eight. He outdueled Washington starter Max Scherzer, who did not allow a hit in the first five innings. However, the Mets scored three unearned runs off Scherzer, as Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond committed two errors.

Mets first baseman Lucas Duda struck a two-run single in the sixth with two outs to give his team a 2-1 lead on New York's first hit of the season.

Royals 10, White Sox 1

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Yordano Ventura limited Chicago to one run in six-plus innings before leaving with a cramping right thumb as Kansas City beat the White Sox. The Royals snapped a six-game Opening Day losing streak.

Ventura allowed four hits -- one a solo homer Jose Abreu to lead off the seventh -- walked one and struck out two. He went down in agony after throwing a strike to Adam LaRoche in the seventh. He will be evaluated later in the week, but the Royals do not believe the injury is serious.

The Royals' offense included a three-run home run by Alex Rios, who went 3-for-4 in his Kansas City debut.

Mariners 4, Angels 1

SEATTLE -- Felix Hernandez turned in yet another dominating Opening Day performance, leading Seattle past Los Angeles. Hernandez improved to 6-0 with a 1.49 ERA in eight career openers, all with the Mariners.

Hernandez allowed two hits and one run over seven innings while striking out 10, walking one and hitting a batter. It marked the third time the Venezuela native recorded at least 10 strikeouts in an Opening Day start.

The Angels took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first when center fielder Mike Trout, the reigning American League Most Valuable Player, hit a solo homer off Hernandez on the eighth pitch of the at-bat. In a matchup of two All-Stars, Hernandez went on to strike out Trout the next two times they faced.

Reds 5, Pirates 2

CINCINNATI -- Todd Frazier's tiebreaking, three-run home run in the eighth inning lifted Cincinnati past Pittsburgh on Opening Day. Right fielder Jay Bruce also homered for the Reds.

Cincinnati starter Johnny Cueto allowed just four hits in seven scoreless innings and fanned 10, a career high for Opening Day. Cueto was denied the victory when Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutcheon hit a two-run, game-tying homer in the eighth off right-hander Kevin Gregg.

However, with runners on first and third in the bottom of the eighth, Frazier crushed a 1-1 pitch from Pirates left-hander Tony Watson (0-1) and sent it sailing 432 feet to left field.

Astros 2, Indians 0

HOUSTON -- Dallas Keuchel worked seven shutout innings, and a revamped bullpen preserved his effort in Houston's win over Cleveland.

Keuchel allowed three hits and three walks while recording four strikeouts, including a critical whiff of Brandon Moss after Carlos Santana and Yan Gomes stroked consecutive singles to open the seventh inning. After he fanned Moss, Keuchel coaxed a pair of grounders back to the mound to strand Santana and Gomes, close the inning, and preserve his one-run lead.

Cleveland's Corey Kluber, the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner, gave up two runs on three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings. George Springer's sixth-inning single knocked in the first run, and Jake Marisnick's eighth-inning sacrifice fly capped the scoring.

Giants 5, Diamondbacks 4

PHOENIX -- Left-hander Madison Bumgarner gave up one run in seven innings, and center fielder Angel Pagan had three hits and two RBIs as San Francisco beat Arizona in the season opener for both teams.

Bumgarner, the 2014 World Series MVP, gave up six hits, struck out three and walked one in the first Opening Day start of his career.

Pagan had two doubles and a single, driving in runs in the third and fifth innings against Arizona right-hander Josh Collmenter (0-1). Giants second baseman Joe Panik had three hits and scored two runs, and shortstop Brandon Crawford had two hits and drove in two runs, helping the Giants take a 5-1 lead in the fifth.

Game of the Day: Spurs at Thunder
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

San Antonio Spurs at Oklahoma City Thunder (+5,5, 216)

San Antonio has posted seven consecutive victories and 17 in the last 20 games and is in sixth place in the West while trailing the fifth-place Los Angeles Clippers by a half-game. The Spurs drubbed the Thunder 130-91 on March 25 when they shot 58 percent from the field and made 13-of-21 from 3-point range. Oklahoma City can’t afford too many stumbles if it expects to hold off the Pelicans and coach Scott Brooks grasps the situation. “Every night has playoff implications but that’s been our mentality for seven years now,” Brooks told reporters. “You treat every game the same, you focus on every game and pay attention to detail.”

TV: 8 p.m. ET, TNT, FSN Oklahoma City (Oklahoma)

LINE HISTORY: Most shops opened the Thunder as 4.5-point road dogs and the total at 217. A few hours later, those numbers were sitting at +5.5, 216.

POWER RANKINGS: Spurs (-10.4) - Thunder (-7.5) + home court (-3.0) = Thunder -0.1

INJURY REPORT: Spurs - C Tiago Splitter (Out, calf)

ABOUT THE SPURS (51-26): San Antonio’s 39-point beat down of Oklahoma City was the beginning of the seven-game winning streak that has seen each game decided by double digits. The Spurs have an average victory margin of 20.3 points during the stretch with the most recent win being Sunday’s 107-92 decision over the Golden State Warriors. Small forward Kawhi Leonard has been a standout with 20 or more points in four of the last five games and he tied his career high of 26 points against Golden State while recording a career-best seven steals.

ABOUT THE THUNDER (42-35): Backup guard Anthony Morrow has made six 3-pointers in two of the past three games and is averaging 22.3 points during the stretch. “He’s obviously on fire from 3-point range,” Brooks told reporters. “He gives you effort every night, he competes on both ends, that’s what you have to do. He’s making his 3s and Russell (Westbrook) and our guys are finding him.” Morrow’s sharpshooting on the perimeter has helped soften the loss of Kevin Durant for the season and he has scored in double digits in 13 of the past 14 games.

TRENDS:

* Under is 6-1 in the last seven meetings in Oklahoma City.
* Spurs are 1-9 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Oklahoma City.
* Spurs are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games overall.
* Over is 7-1-1 in Thunder last nine home games.

CONSENSUS: Per Consensus, 52 percent of users are backing the Spurs.
