Monday, April 20

Chicago made 12-32 from arc in Game 1 win- it was 60-51 at half, then game slowed down. Bulls went 50-32 despite ton of injuries; they've won seven of last eight games with Milwaukee (6-1 vs spread in last seven)-- six of last nine games stayed under total. Chicago won last four games, allowing 92.5 ppg; they've lost in first round of playoffs four of last six seasons. Five of last six Milwaukee games went over the total.

New Orleans lost 10 of last 11 games with Golden State, losing by 7 in Game 1, which is misleading-- Warriors led by 18 at half, but they only got 12 points from bench, a red flag for future rounds in playoffs. Golden State won nine of last eleven games, but covered only one of last seven- they got to line 34 times in Game 1. Davis had 35 for New Orleans in Game 1, but other starters went 12-31 from floor and Evans (played only 12:00) got hurt.

Home favorites are 5-3 in this round; over is 3-5.

Pelicans G Evans questionable for Game 2

The New Orleans Pelicans listed guard Tyreke Evans as questionable for Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors with a bone bruise in his left knee that he suffered Saturday night.

Evans underwent an MRI ?exam Saturday night after suffering the injury in a second-quarter collision with Golden State guard Andre Iguodala. ESPN.com reported that the exam revealed no structural damage.

The Warriors built a 15-point lead and rolled to a 106-99 victory in Game 1 of their Western Conference first-round series. Game 2 will take place Monday night.

After the game, Evans said he "felt a little pop, felt a little snap" in the knee.

Evans, in his sixth NBA season, averaged 16.6 points, 6.6 assists and 5.3 rebounds in 79 games.

Monday, April 20

Rangers won seven of last nine games with Pittsburgh, winning three of last four visits here. Penguins lost six of last eight games overall, seven of their last ten stayed under. Rangers won seven of last nine games overall, with five of last seven going over total. Pittsburgh held Rangers to just three shots on goal in first period Saturday, after being outshot 13-5 in first period of Game 1. Rangers are just 2-12 on power play in series, Pens are 2-5. Would expect a more physical game tonight.

St Louis won eight of last 12 games with Minnesota; Blues won six of their last eight games overall- they're 3-2 in last five visits here. Over is 3-0-1 in last four series games. Wild lost five of last eight games overall- they had only one power play (0-1) in Game 2, after scoring half their goals (2-4) with man advantage in Game 1. Minnesota actually lost its last three home games- this is their first home game in two weeks. Blues have 77-56 faceoff advantage so far in series.

Anaheim is first team ever to win first two games of series at home, when they trailed both games in third period- they won last five games with Winnipeg, scoring with 0:21 left to break Jets' hearts in Game 2 on Saturday, but this is first home playoff game in Winnipeg since 1996, so fans ill be riled up. Four of last six series games went over the total. Winnipeg is 0-7 on power play in series. Ducks won seven of their last nine games; they've outscored Jets 5-0 in third period.

Home teams are 14-6 in this round; over is 10-6-4.

MLB betting cheat sheet: Astros go a whole week without going over

Here's a comprehensive look at betting notes for this week’s major-league schedule:

Houston, we have a scoring problem

Through 12 games, the Houston Astros (6-6, 2-9-1 O/U) have scored 34 runs (fewest in the American League) and have given up 40 (tied for second fewest in the AL). They have not gone over the total since last Monday (0-4-1 O/U in their last five games). The under is also 3-1 in the last four games involving the Seattle Mariners, whom Houston faces three times starting on Monday.

Hot off the Grilli

Two weeks into the season, your MLB saves leader is 38-year-old Jason Grilli of the Atlanta Braves. You can’t make this stuff up, folks. In six appearances, the fiery veteran has six saves and a 1.50 ERA. He has at least one strikeout in all six outings (10 in total) compared to a mere two hits and two walks allowed. The surprising Braves are 8-4 (8-4 O/U).

Christening Kris

Chicago Cubs’ prospect Kris Bryant got his first taste of the big leagues last Friday after being called up from Triple-A. There were some first-game jitters (0-for-3 with three strikeouts), but those appear to be out of the way. Bryant is now on a two-game hitting steak and he reached base five times (three walks) in last Saturday’s 7-6 win over the San Diego Padres. Chicago is 1-2 (3-0 O/U) so far with Bryant in the lineup.

Pitching Notes

* The Washington Nationals’ Doug Fister may have flown under the radar just a bit heading into this season after the acquisition of Max Scherzer to an already-loaded rotation. But Fister is making plenty of noise through two starts; he is 1-0 with 0.69 ERA in 13 innings. His next start will come on Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals at home, where the veteran righty compiled a 1.72 ERA last season compared to a 3.05 mark on the road.

* Jared Weaver of the Los Angeles Angels went 18-9 last season with a 3.59 ERA while limiting opponents to a .239 average. But the Oakland Athletics batted .280 against him and beat him twice in four games as Weaver compiled a 4.32 ERA in those four outings. He will face Oakland again on Tuesday and cannot be going in with much confidence. Through three starts in 2015, the veteran righty is 0-2 with a 6.61 ERA.

Hitting Notes

* Baltimore Orioles’ center fielder Adam Jones went 4-for-5 with one home run and five RBIs in an 8-3 win over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. Jones now has seven hits in his last two games. He is on a nine-game hitting streak and is 20-for-35 in those nine while raising his average from a paltry .091 to an awesome .457.

* The Milwaukee Brewers have scored a miniscule 30 runs (2.5 per game), leaving them dead last in the major leagues in that category. They are 2-10 (also last in the majors) and have lost five in a row. Third baseman Aramis Ramirez (.140 BA, 0 HR, 2 RBI) is 2-for-23 in his last six games.

Totals Streak

New York Yankees (10-2 O/U): The Yankees have gone over the total in four straight games and in 10 of their last 11. In part thanks to a rejuvenated Alex Rodriguez, the Yankees have scored at least five runs in four consecutive contests and in six of their last seven. Next up on the schedule is a four-game series against the Detroit Tigers (7-5 O/U), for whom the over is 2-0 in the last two games and 6-3 in the last nine.

Weather Watch

* Things could get wet in Pittsburgh with forecasts calling for a 65 percent chance of rain as the Pirates host the Chicago Cubs from PNC Park Monday.

Umpire Note

* The Boston Red Sox are just 4-10 in their last 14 games with umpire Andy Fletcher calling balls and strikes. Fletcher will be behind the plate for Monday's game against the Orioles.

Injury Notes

* All they do is win. But it is not because they are healthy. The New York Mets’ week began with third baseman David Wright going on the disabled list because of a strained right hamstring. It ended on Sunday with a win over the Miami Marlins, during which catcher Travis d’Arnaud fractured his hand on a hit-by-pitch and reliever Jerry Blevins was hit with a liner and suffered a broken forearm. There is no timetable for either player’s return. The Mets have won eight in a row (5-2-1 O/U).

* Los Angeles Dodgers’ right fielder Yasiel Puig is dealing with “regular soreness” according to manager Don Mattingly and the disable list appears to be a possibility. Puig was held out of Sunday’s 7-0 win over the Colorado Rockies and L.A. has Monday off, so Mattingly is hopeful that this rest will allow his star to be ready for Tuesday night at the San Francisco Giants—but that is far from certain. The Dodgers are 9-3 (8-4 O/U), including 5-2 (6-1 O/U) with Puig in the lineup.

Red Sox LF Ramirez leaves game due to illness

BOSTON -- Hanley Ramirez left with an illness at the start of the third inning of the Boston Red Sox's annual Patriots' Day game against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday at Fenway Park.

The newly signed left fielder was replaced by Allen Craig. Ramirez grounded out to first to end the inning in his only at-bat of the game in the bottom of the first.

Ramirez, 31, was tied for second in the majors with five home runs this season entering play. His five long balls have come in 11 games, the fewest it has taken him to reach that mark in his 11 seasons, and he is now only four homers shy of 200 for his career.

Ramirez is batting .255 (12-for-47) with 12 RBIs, four walks and five strikeouts in 53 plate appearances.
