Daily Sports Roundup: April 26

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Phillies take on the Giants, while the Preds host the Hawks, and the Magic try to knock the Bobcats out of the playoffs.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

The NBA offers up three more first-round playoff games on Monday night, with Orlando at Charlotte, Atlanta at Milwaukee, and Portland at Phoenix. The Suns and Trail Blazers are tied 2-2 in their first-round set, while the Hawks lead the Bucks 2-1, and the Magic are up 3-0 on the Bobcats. Orlando put Charlotte on the brink of elimination with a 90-86 road win in Game 3 on Saturday. Jameer Nelson was good for a team-high 32 points for the Magic in that contest, while Dwight Howard was held to just 13 points and eight rebounds in the victory. Stephen Jackson had 19 points for the Bobcats, and Larry Hughes had 14 points

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

There are just four games on the American League's schedule for Monday, with Detroit at Texas, Seattle at Kansas City, Cleveland at the Angels, and Boston at Toronto. Josh Beckett (1-0, 5.26 ERA) is slated to take on Dana Eveland (2-0, 1.93 ERA) in that BoSox/Blue Jays matchup. Righthander Beckett was pounded by the Rangers in his last trip to the mound on April 21, surrendering seven earned runs on seven hits in his seven innings of work. Lefthander Eveland picked up a no-decision against the Royals last time out, allowing two earned runs on eight hits over his 5 1-3 innings of work. Eveland fanned three that day.

Meanwhile, the National League on Monday offers up San Diego at Florida, the Dodgers at the Mets, Washington at the Cubs, Pittsburgh at Milwaukee, Atlanta at St. Louis, Arizona at Colorado, and Philadelphia at San Francisco. Roy Halladay (4-0, 0.82 ERA) will take on Jonathan Sanchez (1-1, 1.86 ERA in that last matchup. Righthander Halladay tossed a complete-game shutout against the Braves last time out, giving up just five hits while fanning seven batters. Halladay has allowed just three earned runs in 33 innings this year. Lefthander Sanchez fell to the Padres last time out despite allowing just one run over seven innings.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

Finally, the Bruins, Capitals, and Blackhawks will all be looking to close out their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series on Monday with Buffalo at Boston, Washington at Montreal, and Chicago at Nashville. The Blackhawks got a shorthanded goal from Patrick Kane to force OT late in Game 5 on Saturday, then watched Marian Hossa pot the winner in the extra frame to give them a 5-4 home win over the Predators. Kane and Hossa had two points each in that contest, while Antti Niemi stopped 17 of 21 Nashville shots. Martin Erat had two goals in that losing cause for the Predators, while Pekka Rinne stopped 27 shots.

Bettors' best friend: Monday's wagering tips

Line off the board

The total in the Nationals-Cubs game is off pending the wind speed and direction at Wrigley Field

Lines to keep an eye on

Magic-Bobcats total opened at 182.5 and has skyrocketed to as high 184 at some books.

The Hawks opened as 1-point favorites over the Bucks but that number is now 1.5. The total also jumped from 189 to 190.

Who's hot

Magic are 9-0 SU and 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine.

Hawks are 6-1 SU in their last seven and 5-1 ATS in their last six.

Suns are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 at home.

Bruins are 6-2 in their last eight.

Padres are 8-1 in their last nine.

Who's not

Bobcats are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight.

Bucks are 2-4-1 ATS in their last seven.

Canadiens are 2-6 in their last eight and 0-6 in in last six home playoff games.

Key stat

5 to 9 - Number of quarterbacks currently on the Oakland Raiders' roster and the combined number of games they won as starters last season.

Injury that shouldn't be overlooked

Bruins forward Marc Savard hopes to play in tonight's Game 6 against the Sabres although he remains a game-time decision. If he does it would be his first game back since suffering a Grade 2 concussion on March 7. If in postseason form, Savard could be a huge lift to the Bruins. But a tough elimination game is not the ideal circumstances for his return after missing six weeks of workouts. He might do more harm than good.

Game of the day

Trail Blazers at Nuggets

Notable quotable

"(Jimmie Johnson) is testing my patience, I can tell you that. It takes a lot to make me mad. I am pissed right now. I don't know what it is with me and him right now."

Jeff Gordon said of teammate Jimmie Johnson after he squeezed Gordon out of line Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway and set off a wreck that dropped Gordon to a 22nd-place finish.

Tips and notes

With Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis and Vince Carter, the Magic are an obvious offensive force. But they are beating the Bobcats with their underrated defense. Through the first three games the Bobcats have committed 52 turnovers. Charlotte point guard Raymond Felton and many of his teammates are playoff rookies, which explains some of the miscues. But experience is the only thing to correct this TO problem and there's not enough time (and too much Magic D) for that.

The boarding penalty against Chicago defenseman Marian Hossa got all the headlines, especially after he returned to score the game-winner in overtime of Game 5, but it was only one of 21 reasons the Blackhawks have a 3-2 series lead over Nashville. The Blackhawks have killed off 21-of-21 penalities during the series and the Predators' inability to cash in on those opportunities is killing their chances of advancing.

The Braves played in prime time Sunday against the Mets and had to catch the redeye to St. Louis for tonight's game. The quick turnaround isn't the only thing working against Atlanta. The Braves' leadoff position is batting .081 entering Sunday's game and no pitcher has had a hit all season. With a guaranteed out at the top and bottom of the lineup, it's no wonder they have lost four in a row and scored just six runs in that span.

Game of the day: Trail Blazers at Suns
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Portland Trail Blazers at Phoenix Suns (-6, 202)

What appeared to be a one-sided series is tied 2-2 after four games. Both teams have won on the road and Brandon Roy’s return could change everything.

Roy to the rescue

Brandon Roy's mere presence was a huge factor in his first game back. He didn't start but he buried a huge 3-pointer with just under 5 minutes to play that gave the Blazers a six-point lead. They never trailed again.

Roy was a major question mark heading into the series. Some felt he could return if Portland survived the first round while others thought he was lost for the entire postseason.

Roy had arthroscopic knee surgery to repair torn cartilage just eight days before returning to the court. When he entered the game as a reserve in the first quarter the Blazers played the theme from Rocky.

Roy said he expects to regain his shooting form as the series progresses.

“I’d certainly say it gave them a lift,” Suns guard Steve Nash said. “More than anything it just gave everyone a boost in their spirit and attitude. That was good for the crowd and good for his teammates to have him out there.”

Pace makes the race

In both of Portland’s victories this series, the Blazers have held the Suns to four fast break points. Transition defense is always important against the up-tempo Suns.

The Suns have 28 fast break points in their two wins in this series.

Nash will have to step up in Game 5. He has posted double-figures in assists in both Suns’ victories and totals of six and eight assists in their losses. Nash turned the ball over six times last game and never got his teammates into any offensive flow. His performance Monday will be critical.

Series recap

Teams that win Game 5 of the series that is tied after four games win the series 83 percent of the time. That makes this one critical for both sides but even more so for Phoenix, which could have virtually ended things on Saturday.

The Suns might have been a bit overconfident heading into this series and Portland shocked Phoenix in Game 1. The Suns immediately responded to blow out the Blazers by 19 points in the next two games.

The Suns are the highest scoring team in the NBA and Portland seems intent on not letting them get out and run. They’ve tried to clamp down on Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire but they let Jason Richardson go off for 42 points in the process and trailed by as many as 31 points in Thursday’s loss.

With their backs against the wall, LaMarcus Aldridge scored 31 points and the Blazers pulled out Game 4. They are surely rejuvenated with Roy’s return.

“As soon as he checked into the game, I got my first open shot with nobody guarding me, so I was thinking thank God he’s back,” Aldridge told reporters.

Said Stoudemire: “We didn’t bring the effort, we didn’t bring the energy, we didn’t rebound, we didn’t attack. We had a chance to go up 3-1, which would have been great. Now we’ve got to go back to a must-win situation.”

Trend-setting

The home team is 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 games in this series.

The Suns have rebounded well as of late. They are 4-0 ATS after a SU loss and 6-0 ATS after failing to cover the spread.

The Blazers are 10-3 in their last 13 playoff games as an underdog.

Portland is 1-5 ATS after winning a game and 1-4 after covering the spread.

The over is 13-6 in the Suns last 19 games as a favorite. The over is 5-1 in the Suns’ last six home games.

Injury report

Expect Roy to play again. He didn’t start but he played better as the game went along on Saturday.

Starting forward Nicolas Batum left Thursday’s game with his persistent shoulder injury but played 33 minutes and scored 10 points in Saturday’s win.

Suns center Robin Lopez is out for the entire series with a bulging disc in his back.

Pick 'n' Roll: Today's best NBA bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Orlando Magic at Charlotte Bobcats (+4, 184)

Of all the weapons on Orlando’s roster, who would have thought that Jameer Nelson would be the one killing the Bobcats?

Charlotte is doing an admirable job containing Vince Carter, Rashard Lewis and Dwight Howard but Nelson has been able to get his shot almost at will.

That’s got to be painful for Charlotte coach Larry Brown, who has a reputation for being hard on his point guards. But it’s not like Bobcats playmaker Raymond Felton doesn’t deserve an earful.

Felton, who was once considered the quickest guard in the nation back in his days as a Tar Heel, isn’t always a step slow guarding Nelson.

The Magic’s guard is outscored Felton 77-36 so far this postseason.

“Jameer dominated the game. Again,” Brown told reporters following the 88-86 setback in Game 3.

The Heat avoided a four-game sweep on Sunday and you could expect a similar result on Monday.

While the Bobcats are going to pull off any type of 3-0 comeback reminiscent ’04 Red Sox, they’re still desperate to gain their first playoff victory in franchise history.

Pick: Bobcats

Atlanta Hawks at Milwaukee Bucks (+1.5, 190)

The Hawks should thinking about switching up whatever routine they have on the road.

Atlanta, which has gone 19-22, 16-25 and 12-29 away from home in the past three regular seasons, dropped its ninth playoff road game in its last 10 tries.

The latest setback came Saturday night in Milwaukee. The star-less Bucks dismantled the Hawks 107-89.

“If we’re going to be one of the top teams and get where we think we’re going to go, we have to start handling our business on the road,” Hawks big man Al Horford told the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

The Atlanta newspaper also reported that the Hawks are being outscored by an average of almost 26 points in their last nine playoff road losses.

“The good teams, they figure it out,” coach Mike Woodson said. “We’ve been a growing team, but we’re not where I think we should be. Knowing you can go get one on the road — that’s the next major step.”

Expect the Hawks to come out with more urgency at the defensive end and leave Milwaukee with a 3-1 series lead.

Pick: Atlanta

Ice picks: Today's best NHL bets
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buffalo Sabres at Boston Bruins (-135, 5)

The Sabres avoided elimination thanks to a 4-1 win on home ice, but Monday’s game in Boston will be an even tougher test. The away side has lost all but one of the games in this series.

The Bruins dodged a bullet when the NHL ruled Zdeno Chara would not be suspended for Game 6. The defending Norris Trophy winner was given an instigator penalty late in Game 5 after retaliating from a slash.

“To be honest with you, I wasn’t even worried,” Bruins coach Claude Julien told the Boston Herald. “I couldn’t see (a suspension) happening. . . . It just didn’t make any sense. The guy got slashed on the back of the leg with a two-hander. He turned around with his glove still on and takes a pop - and then three guys jump on him.”

While Chara’s availability is certain, center Marc Savard is still iffy. The Bruins’ best offensive player was lost earlier in the year after suffering a nasty concussion. Savard skated on Saturday and is just awaiting medical clearance to rejoin his teammates.

“Of course, every player wants to play,” Savard told reporters after the skate. “I’m excited. The adrenaline is pumping. (Yesterday) was another good day. We’ll see what happens with the trainers and coaches.”

Sounds like things are stacked against Ryan Miller and the Sabres from extending the series.

Pick: Bruins

Washington Capitals at Montreal Canadiens (+165, 6)

The Habs are proving to be a much tougher test for the Presidents’ Trophy winners than most NHL bettors were anticipating.

The great equalizer for Montreal has been its special teams. The Caps, who owned the league’s best power play during the regular season, have scored just one goal in 24 power plays so far this series. The Habs, on the other hand, are 4-for-22 with the man advantage.

That’s a good way to frustrate Alexander Ovechkin & Co.

"I mean [the Canadiens] skate. I watch the games. I watch them closely," Caps forward Scott Walker told the Washington Examiner. "They skate. They play hard. But are we playing hard?”

It all boils down to goaltending for the Habs. The Caps are always going to put a lot of pucks on net, but if Jaroslav Halak can play at the same level he did in Game 5, Montreal has a good shot of pushing the series to a Game 7 in Washington.

Pick: Under

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Washington Nationals at Chicago Cubs (-165, Off)

Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Silva is seeing a shrink. So is his ERA.

Silva is a castaway from Seattle, where he struggled with consistency. The Cubs introduced him to "consultant" Marc Strickland, a sports psychologist who is bringing out the best in his new client.

"They teach me a lot of stuff," Silva told the Chicago Tribune. "It's not easy. Sometimes we have no patience to wait for good results. When you're working so hard, and trying to do the right thing, if you don't have the good results (immediately) sometimes you go crazy. That's what happened to me."

Whatever head games Strickland is playing Silva, it's working. Silva is off to a 2-0 start with a microscopic 0.63 ERA, allowing just 10 hits in 19 innings pitched.

Counterpart John Lannan has allowed 24 hits over 18.0 innings and the Nationals are struggling for offense, scoring just 10 runs over their last four games.

It doesn't help having eight players on the DL, not including third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, who still isn't ready to return. Look for Silva to baffle the Nats, with a little help from his psychic friend.

Pick: Cubs

Pittsburgh Pirates at Milwaukee Brewers (-210, 8.5)

The Brewers took the broom to the Bucs last week in Pittsburgh and, after being swept by the Cubs at home over the weekend, welcome another encounter with the Pirates.

These same pitchers met on Wednesday, with Milwaukee's Yavoni Gallardo striking out 10 in an 8-0 shutout and Pittsburgh's Zach Duke allowing three home runs in just 3 2/3 innings of work.

Although it's accurate to say all teams match up well with the low-budget Bucs, the Brew Crew seems to have their number. They have won six straight over the Pirates, outscoring them by a 36-1 margin in last week's three-game series.

It wasn't a fluke, and it doesn't get much easier than picking a one-sided rematch from five days ago.

Pick: Brewers

This Day in Baseball
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On April 27 in Baseball History...

1918 - The Giants' 9-0 winning start and the Dodgers' 0-9 losing streak are both stopped as Brooklyn's Larry Cheney wins 5-3.

1926 - In the Giants' 9-8 win over the Phillies, 17-year-old Mel Ott makes his first appearance pinch-hitting for Jimmy Ring. He strikes out. Ott won't play regularly until 1927.

1944 - Jim Tobin of the Braves pitched a no-hitter against the Dodgers at Boston, winning 2-0. He also hit a homer.

1947 - Today is Babe Ruth Day at all major league parks. A crowd of 58,339 at Yankee Stadium honors the ailing slugger, but the Yankees lose to Sid Hudson and the Washington Senators 1-0.

1968 - Tom Phoebus, the Orioles' top pitcher the previous year, throws a 6-0 no hitter against the Red Sox. Brooks Robinson drives in three runs and makes a great stab to rob Rico Petrocelli of a hit in the eighth.

1971 - Curt Flood jumps the Senators after 13 games and departs for Denmark, ending his playing career. Flood batted .293 and won seven Gold Glove Awards during his 15-year tenure in the major leagues. He will continue his antitrust suit, which will eventually reach the Supreme Court.

1971 - Hank Aaron becomes the third member of the 600-home run club, but one of the other two members, the Giants' Willie Mays, hits a tenth-inning single to beat Aaron's Braves.

1973 - In 50-degree Detroit weather, Royals rookie Steve Busby no-hits the Tigers 3-0. It is the first Royals no-hitter and the first at Tiger Stadium since Virgil Trucks did it in 1952. Busby is the first no-hit game pitcher not to bat.

1983 - In a 4-2 win over the Expos, Nolan Ryan strikes out Brad Mills to move ahead of Walter Johnson and become baseball's all-time leader at 3,509.

1990 - Dodgers ace Orel Hershiser will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his pitching shoulder. He hadn't missed a start since joining the club's rotation in 1984.

1994 - Twins right-hander Scott Erickson no-hits the Brewers 6-0 for Minnesota's first no-hitter since 1967.

1996 - Barry Bonds homers twice to reach the 300-home run mark. Coupled with the 300 steals by the Giants outfielder, Bonds joins his father Bobby, godfather Willie Mays, and Andre Dawson with 300 homers and 300 steals.
