Monday NBA Playoffs offers variety pack

The first day of last work week of April offers a little something for every sports bettor. Will Orlando be the only team to perform a first round sweep or does Charlotte show pride and head off the inevitable. Milwaukee showed up for Game 3 and ended scrubbing the floor with Atlanta’s jayvee road team. The Bucks will try and even the series. So much for Phoenix having an easy time with Portland, now the thought process has to be who wants it more.

Orlando at Charlotte 8:00E TNT

Without reading the entire boxscore, finding out Vince Carter, Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis would score 37 points on 12 for 29 shooting in Charlotte; it would be assumed Orlando would have fallen.

But as J.R.R. Tolkien once said “Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.” This is precisely what 6’0 Jameer Nelson has done; scoring 32 points in 90-86 win in Game 3 to lead the Magic to victory.

Nelson is averaging 25.7 points per game and has a turnover about every 36 minutes of play in this series. “I’m not out there trying to shoot every shot,” Nelson said. “It just happens that sometimes you have to, especially if you have it going.”

Orlando now has a commanding 3-0 lead and is 12-0 ATS after a win by six points or less this season. Because the Bobcats don’t have the offensive firepower to match the Magic, it’s more a matter of who wants to win this game than overall ability.

Charlotte is 18-5 ATS having lost four of their last five games and veteran coach and vagabond Larry Brown knows what he has seen in the series. “It hasn’t been the defense that has let us down,” Brown said. “Defensive rebounds have been a problem. Turnovers have been a problem. And I think more than anything is poor execution on offense.”

Orlando is a four-point pick and is 25-14 ATS as a road favorite of four points or less and is 21-11 UNDER in this role. The Bobcats will attempt to stave off elimination and are 20-9 ATS after a game as a home underdog, losing by 2.7 points per contest.

Atlanta at Milwaukee 8:30E NBA-TV

Coach Mike Woodson said his Atlanta club has to learn to deal with adversity, especially on the road, you think!

Hey coach, what about if they just decide to act like they even care about giving effort on the playoff road for goodness sake. (This is family website, thus language tempered) Consider Luc Mbah a Moute, Kurt Thomas and Dan Gadzuric of Milwaukee had a decided advantage over Josh Smith, Al Horford and Marvin Williams just by trying, something the team in the ATL jerseys just are not interested in.

This team is supposed to be maturing, but after Saturday’s debacle, the Hawks have lost eight of nine road playoffs games the last three years, with the average margin of defeat 22.6 PPG.

“I still think we’re a team that’s still learning how to win, like all teams in this league,” Woodson said. “It’s not easy winning on the road, and I never use that as an excuse, but that’s reality.” Losing is one thing but being blown out and man-handled is quite another. Dating back several seasons, this franchise is 2-12 ATS on the road in the first round of the playoffs.

This has to give the Bucks a great deal of confidence and maybe those signs around town spooked Atlanta – Fear the Deer.

Milwaukee is 8-1 ATS off a home win by 10 points or more this season; nevertheless is not getting ahead of itself. “There was a lot of pressure on us to come out and win Game 3,” rookie Brandon Jennings said. “But we can’t celebrate. We’ve got to come back Monday and do the same thing.”

Sportsbook.com has established the Hawks as 1.5-point favorites with 191 total, if for no other reason to some pride. Atlanta is 8-1 ATS and 8-1 OVER off a double digit defeat. The Andrew Bogut-less Bucks are 14-4 ATS after scoring 105 points or more and are 14-2 OVER as a home deer, whoops, dog of three points or less.

Portland at Phoenix 10:30E TNT

Right before the series, the big news in the basketball desert was Portland was not going to have their best play Brandon Roy, who was having minor surgery on a torn meniscus. Phoenix went out and celebrated their good fortune by going thru the motions in the series opener, falling by five as eight-point favorites.

The Suns took this series seriously the next two contests, pummeling Portland by 29 and 19 points respectively and got their swagger back, making this look like a five-game series was about to unfold.

However, word was Roy’s procedure was so minor he was able to shoot free throws and do straight line running within days and low and behold he was in uniform for Game 4.

With the theme of “Rocky” playing at the Rose Garden, a delirious crowd welcomes backed their superstar and Phoenix fell for it.

It was clear Roy lacked any lateral quickness, but the Suns coaches and players had a welcoming committee whenever he touched the ball, bring an extra man to guard him, for reasons unknown, freeing up other Blazers players.

“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 said with his team 15-4 ATS after two or more Under’s.

Amare Stoudemire brought up what is becoming an annoying theme to Suns fans and backers. “We didn’t bring it, we just didn’t bring it,” Stoudemire said. “We realized how important the game was. 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.”

Phoenix is 25-14 ATS after playing a road game and is a six-point favorite with total of 202. If the Suns expect to win this first round Western series they have to force the tempo and are 22-6 OVER at home after two away encounters.

Portland at least knows they are going back home, as they are 0-8 ATS off an upset win as a home underdog.

MLB Monday Systems that make sense

Another weekend of baseball has passed and for sports betting grinders who enjoy the day to day rhythm of the game, a new week lies ahead. To help those wanting a fast start for the next seven days, uncovered five baseball systems that are worthy of strong consideration to begin another week. Sides and totals from Sportsbook.com.

San Diego at Florida 7:10E

The Padres placed themselves in rarified air with their eight-game April winning streak. Of the dozen teams that accomplish this feat from the past decade, more than half went on to have winning records, win divisions, play in the World Series or win the whole thing.

Of course some were just April mirages, giving the home town fans a reason to believe this won’t be as dismal a season as what they first thought for the time being. The Pads lost a two run lead in Cincinnati yesterday, falling 5-4 to end the streak.

San Diego arrives in south Florida to take on Marlins, who were rocked in the Rockies by Colorado in previous two games. The Fish are -155 money line favorites and clubs that allowed eight runs or more in two straight outings against opponent after a loss by two are runs or less, are 89-28 the last 13 seasons.

Pittsburgh at Milwaukee 8:10E

The absolute last place the Pittsburgh Pirates want to go is Milwaukee. The Bucs are riding six-game losing streak, which started by being crushed by the Brewers 36-1 in three games series (third highest differential in modern baseball history).

The Pirates have lost 21 in a row in Milwaukee and Zach Duke (2-1, 4.13 ERA) will face Yovani Gallardo (1-2, 4.30). This Central Division matchup ends up being about the total, since the numbers point to the UNDER, as teams scoring more five or more runs a game like the Brew Crew, with a starting pitcher who fans five or more batters per start, taking on another NL pitcher with 3.70-4.20 ERA, are 42-14 below the number.

Detroit at Texas 8:05E

The Rangers go for the series win in this four game set having taken two thus far. At least there have been positives for Texas in spite of .245 team batting average, in winning three of four. They will give the ball to John Harrison and are -145 ML favorites.

When the home chalk is below average AL hitting team (.265 or less), against a team with a good bullpen (ERA 3.75 or less), with a starting pitcher who gives up one or more long balls a start (Harrison four in three games), they are 61-20.

Seattle at Kansas City 8:10E

The Mariners are 9-10 on the year with disastrous 2-8 start on the road and are the American League’s 12th least productive run scoring offense at 3.8 per contest. Seattle’s starting pitching has given them a chance to win frequently as the bullpen has not worked a great deal (however has 3.97 ERA with 54.5 save percentage).

Felix Hernandez (2-0, 2.15) will face Kyle Davies (1-1, 4.82), with Seattle a -175 ML favorite. Here we find squads totaling 4.5 or less runs a game, with a bullpen averaging 2.75 or fewer inning per contest, against an average AL starting pitcher (ERA=4.70 to 5.70) are 53-14 since 1997.

Cleveland at L.A. Angles 10:05E

The Cleveland Indians are dead last in scoring in the junior circuit at 3.3 runs per game and that falls to 3.1 when they play on the road. The Tribe was shutout 10-0 in Oakland yesterday, giving them three zeroes on the scoreboard in previous five tries.

This evening in Anaheim, consider playing against AL road teams scoring less than 4.7 RPG after a beatdown by eight or more runs. The visitor is 25-81 the past five years.

Three hockey clubs push for seventh game

On Monday night, a trio of NHL teams will try and follow the lead of the Phoenix Coyotes and force a deciding game in their first round series. Buffalo would appear to have the most difficult task, winning on the road, but that is what Phoenix did. Montreal and Nashville will at least be on home ice, needing a victory to push a Game 7, both as non-favorites.

Buffalo at Boston 7:00E NESN

The Sabres are scratching their helmets wondering how they are in this predicament. Buffalo has scored the first goal in all five games against Boston and has been ahead or tied over 70 percent of game minutes yet could be eliminated tonight. Buffalo is still hopeful leading scorer Thimas Vanek can go, giving the team a lift.

“I never said I can’t play,” Vanek said. “I wanted to play the last two, but, obviously, we talked. We have to be realistic about it. And I said before, if (Ruff) doesn’t feel like, if we both feel like I can’t really help the team, then there’s no point of going and taking a spot away from somebody else.”

Off their 4-1 win in Game 5, the Sabres are 14-5 after allowing one goal or less in their previous contest this season. Buffalo is a +125 money line underdog to the Bruins and is 3-11 in road games against meager offensive teams scoring 2.55 or fewer goals a game. They will hope Boston’s 2-7 record at home revenging a loss where opponent scored four or more goals this season continues.

Washington at Montreal 7:00E VERSUS

Montreal knows they will have a chance in a Game 7 against top-seeded Washington since they have already won twice on the Capitals home ice this series. Getting there could be the issue as the Canadiens have failed to defeat Washington is both home tilts in the opening round.

Montreal is 6-13 at home in the playoffs since its current streak of sellouts began in 2003. “We appreciate and respect our crowd very much,” Habs forward Michael Cammalleri said Sunday after practice. “It’s the reason why it’s so much fun to play for the Montreal Canadiens. You get chills every game when you get on that ice.”

The Canadiens are +175 home underdogs and have 15 wins in 41 tries as +150 to +200 ML dogs.

Washington found a way to keep this series extended, after falling in previous contest 2-1 and is 23-6 revenging a loss vs. opponent as a home favorite.

“It’s important because it’s an important game,” Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau said. “You just have to be ready as we’re sure the crowd will be ready and they will be ready. It will be an electric atmosphere again. The Caps are 41-13 after permitting two or less goals in next outing.

Chicago at Nashville 9:00E VERSUS

The Predators have been one of the most resilient NHL teams all season and their mettle faces a max test in Game 6.

For all intents, Nashville won in Chicago Saturday. Leading 4-3 with 63 seconds, the Preds were going on the power play and didn’t need to score, just ice the puck for the remainder of the contest and head home for potential series upset.

Instead the Blackhawks scored a shorthanded goal with 13.6 seconds remaining and won in overtime 5-4.

“This game is certainly difficult, the hardest way to lose as possible,” Nashville defenseman Dan Hamhuis said Sunday. “It’s going to take a little bit more to rebound from it. Sometimes when things go really bad, you bounce back even harder and come out with a better effort again.” Nashville is 27-13 revenging a loss.

The Predators are +145 ML home underdogs; however is 8-3 if opposing club scored five or more goals in last encounter. Chicago knows how lucky they were; nevertheless they made their own breaks and have won last nine of 12 as postseason chalk.

Monday Night Baseball Betting Preview

The New York Mets got a little help from the weather in order to complete their first sweep of 2010. They might need a better offensive showing if they’re going to help Oliver Perez get his first victory of the season. The Mets look to extend their season-high winning streak to five games Monday night when they open a three-game set against the struggling Los Angeles Dodgers (8-10, -5.1 units).

New York (10-9, +0.6) is above .500 for the first time since opening day after beating Atlanta 1-0 on Sunday as heavy rain halted the contest in the sixth inning and secured its first series sweep. “We deserve a break here and there,” manager Jerry Manuel said whose team is 40-18 at home facing a visitor with losing record.

The Mets are now searching for a fifth consecutive victory for the first time since July 25-30. Outstanding pitching has been key over the last four games, as the staff owns a 1.41 ERA during the stretch to compensate for an offense hitting .239 with one homer.

Perez (0-2, 3.71 ERA) is hoping the Mets break out offensively after providing him with five total runs of support in losing all three of his starts. The left-hander fell victim to the struggling offense again in Wednesday’s 9-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs. He labored through 97 pitches in five innings while allowing three runs while the bats produced one run of help.

“If I don’t have my fastball … I have to throw (off-speed pitches) more,” Perez told the team’s official website. “They helped me.”

Perez is 3-1 with a 2.84 ERA in four starts against the Dodgers. He engineered the Mets’ only win in six meetings against them last year, allowing two runs and four hits with seven walks in five innings of a 5-4 victory on July 8 at Citi Field. Perez is 3-11 (-12.6 Units) against the money line in home games vs. teams averaging 2.75 or less extra base hits per game. (Team's Record)

The Mets are winning despite a slumping David Wright. They’ve won six of eight while the All-Star third baseman has hit .154 with four RBIs. A series with Los Angeles could spur Wright. He has a .425 average with four homers and 35 RBIs in 39 meetings.

The Dodgers are entering the final series of their nine-game road trip. So far, they’ve dropped four of six, including Sunday’s 1-0 defeat at Washington. Los Angeles mustered five runs and a .204 batting average during the three-game set against the Nationals. “We need to get better. We just need to get it all together,” manager Joe Torre said. Los Angeles is 20-6 after a one run loss over the last two seasons.

Torre will give the ball to Hiroki Kuroda (2-0, 2.18), who is looking to help them to a win for a fourth consecutive start. The right-hander, though, was shaky in his last trip to the mound Wednesday, surrendering six runs—three earned—and seven hits while serving up two homers in 5 2-3 innings of a 14-6 win at Cincinnati. Kuroda has thrived away from home, going 5-1 with a 2.09 ERA in his last seven starts. However, he’s 0-2 with a 12.86 ERA in two road meetings versus the Mets.

Matt Kemp, the Dodgers’ leader with seven homers and 20 RBIs, has feasted on Mets’ pitching, hitting .436 with six RBIs in the last 10 matchups in New York. The center fielder is also 4 for 11 with a double and a homer against Perez.

In this matchup of big city teams, Sportsbook.com has Los Angeles as -130 ML favorites with total Ov8.5. The Dodgers are 6-19 in road games vs. teams outscoring opponents by 0.5 or more runs a game and are 12-2 UNDER as visitors facing opposing clubs that drew four or more walks a contest.
The Mets are not exactly as prosperous vs. a NL team with a team batting average of .280 or better, sporting a 4-18 record the last three years and are 11-2 UNDER off an upset win over a division rival as an underdog.

This is ESPN telecast which begins at 7:10 Eastern, with New York 4-3 the past two years as host.

2) Chicago Blackhawks (3-2) at (7) Nashville Predators (2-3), 9 p.m.

(Sports Network) - The Chicago Blackhawks will try to close out the Western Conference quarterfinals with a third straight win when they visit the Nashville Predators for Game 6 tonight at Bridgestone Arena.

The second-seeded Blackhawks were down 2-1 in this best-of-seven series, but the Central Division champions have recorded consecutive victories to grab a three games to two lead and move within one victory of reaching the conference semifinals. Chicago made it to the conference finals last year before losing to Detroit.

After winning Game 4 in Nashville by a 3-0 score, the Blackhawks rallied for an overtime victory Saturday afternoon in Chicago.

Despite holding a 3-1 lead in the second period, the Blackhawks needed a short-handed goal by Patrick Kane with 13.6 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. Marian Hossa, who was in the penalty box when Kane tied the game, ended the contest 4:07 into the extra session to lift Chicago to the 5-4 victory.

Hossa was given a five-minute major for boarding with 1:03 left in regulation. The hit on Nashville's Dan Hamhuis, who is probable for tonight with an upper- body injury suffered on the play, will not result in a suspension for Hossa.

With Chicago goaltender Antti Niemi on the bench for an extra attacker, Kane deposited the rebound of a Jonathan Toews shot to force overtime.

"(The five-minute penalty) was obviously a huge obstacle to overcome. Not just in overtime but to get the equalizer," said Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville.

Nashville remained on the power play at the outset of overtime, but couldn't convert. Hossa exited the box and joined the play in the Predators' zone. Chicago defenseman Brent Sopel unloaded a shot from the point that deflected off a Nashville player. The puck went right to Hossa at the side of the net and he buried it before Pekka Rinne could get across.

The Predators are now 0-for-21 on the power play in the series.

"We had a chance to steal a hockey game," said Nashville head coach Barry Trotz. "We just made a poor puck management decision (on Kane's goal)...our play away from the puck was poor."

Andrew Ladd, Niklas Hjalmarsson and Tomas Kopecky also scored for the Blackhawks. Niemi finished with 17 saves.

Martin Erat tallied twice in the third period for the Predators, with his second goal breaking a 3-3 tie with 8:21 left in regulation. David Legwand and Joel Ward both registered a goal and an assist for Nashville, which got 27 saves from Rinne.

Patric Hornqvist missed his fourth straight game due to an upper-body injury that he aggravated in the opener. Hornqvist led Nashville with 30 goals this season, including a team-high 10 on the power play. He is questionable for tonight's game .

Nashville is still searching for the first playoff series win in franchise history. The Predators have lost in the opening round in all four of their trips to the postseason and have never won more than two games in any single series.

The Predators had a strong 24-14-3 home record during the regular season. The Blackhawks posted a 23-14-4 mark on the road. If necessary, Game 7 will take place Wednesday in Chicago.

Monday's Playoff Tips

The Monday NBA playoff card involves three series all with different scenarios. The Suns and Blazers are now set for a best-of-three with their series tied at two games apiece, while the Bucks have crept back against the Hawks with a resounding Game 3 victory. We’ll start with the Magic, who look to make the Bobcats disappear with one more win and advance on to the second round.

Magic at Bobcats – 8:05 PM EST

Orlando goes for the four-game sweep of its division rival when the Magic and Bobcats hook up from Time Warner Cable Arena. Charlotte had plenty of opportunities to capture a Game 3 victory on Saturday afternoon, but the Bobcats couldn’t hold a nine-point lead in an 90-86 setback.

Jameer Nelson lit up the Bobcats in Game 3 with a career playoff-high of 32 points. Past Nelson, the rest of Orlando’s weapons were powerless as Vince Carter and Rashard Lewis combined to shoot 8-22 from the floor for 24 points. Orlando’s defense continued to frustrate Charlotte’s offensive rhythm, limiting the Bobcats to 59 points in the final three quarters.

Larry Brown’s squad has nailed only 14 three-pointers in this series compared to the 32 treys knocked down by Orlando. Charlotte’s three-point defense was actually ranked second in the league during the regular season, but Orlando has obviously proven its one of the top teams from downtown with the 820 treys and 37.5% shooting through the season.

The Magic is 15-5-1 ATS and 18-3 SU off a single-digit victory this season, while not allowing more than 89 points in a game through the first three victories. The Bobcats have played only three times at home off a home loss, going 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS, but two of those wins came against the Sixers and Wizards.

Saturday’s win was the fifth straight in Charlotte for the Magic in this series, while Orlando is 4-1 ATS in this stretch. The ‘under’ has been extremely profitable at Time Warner Cable Arena, hitting in six of the last seven in this series.

Following Sunday’s Game 4 victory over the Celtics, the Heat became only the fifth team in the last 16 opportunities to win a game when trailing in a series 3-0. That situation comes up Monday with the Bobcats, who have never even won the first playoff game in their six-year history.

The Magic is listed as a four-point road favorite at most spots, with the total set at 184.

Hawks at Bucks – 8:30 PM EST

Atlanta and Milwaukee each looked like different teams when the venue shifted to the Bradley Center on Saturday night. The Hawks cruised through the first two victories at home by double-digits, but Scott Skiles’ team bucked that trend with a 107-89 blowout to cut the series deficit to 2-1.

Milwaukee jumped out to a 36-19 lead after the first quarter and never looked back, while shooting 51% from the floor and hitting ten shots from downtown. Brandon Jennings bounced back from a horrible Game 2 to score 13 points with no turnovers. John Salmons paced the Bucks with 22 points and Kurt Thomas stepped up in the middle with an 8-point, 13-rebound effort.

The Hawks were firmly in control at Philips Arena, but could not find their shooting touch in Milwaukee, as Mike Bibby, Josh Smith, and Marvin Williams shot a combined 6-28 from the field. Joe Johnson was the only Hawk to produce offensively with 25 points, but the early deficit was too much to overcome.

Each of the last five meetings at the Bradley Center have all eclipsed the ‘over,’ including Saturday’s total of 188 ½. The final minute saw 15 points being scored to secure the ‘over,’ including a meaningless three-pointer by Jamal Crawford.

The Hawks are 7-4 SU and 6-5 ATS on the road off a road defeat, but are just 1-4 ATS and 2-3 SU the last five in this spot. On the flip side, the Bucks own a strong 9-4 SU mark at home following a home victory. The loss by the Hawks on Saturday was the first instance since prior to the All-Star Break in which Atlanta fell by double-digits (94-76 home defeat to Miami on April 10).

Atlanta is listed as 1 ½-point ‘chalk’ at most spots, while the total is set at 190.

Blazers at Suns – 10:35 PM EST

Phoenix thought it was going to coast towards the next round following a pair of convincing wins in Games 2 and 3 against Portland. All of that changed quickly as the Blazers surprised everyone with the return of leading scorer Brandon Roy to the lineup. Roy put up only ten points, but was the motivation to help Portland to a 96-87 home triumph, while evening the series at two games apiece.

The 87 points scored by the Suns was their lowest output all season as the Blazers’ defense limited the high-octane Phoenix offense to just 37 points in the second half. While Roy was trying to get back into his rhythm after missing the last five games due to a knee injury, LaMarcus Aldridge put up a game-high 31 points, three more points than the last two games combined for the former second pick out of Texas.

The scene shifts back to the Valley where the Suns and Blazers split the first two games. Both contests at the Rose Garden finished ‘under’ the total while each game in Phoenix drilled the ‘over.’ The Suns were held to 41% shooting from the floor in the series opener, but opened things up in the Game 2 victory by hitting 52% of their shots.

Alvin Gentry’s club is 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS the last six after being held to less than 100 points in their previous game. Phoenix is a solid 8-1-1 ATS the last ten at home, with the lone loss coming in the Game 1 setback to Portland. The Blazers haven’t been spectacular as an underdog since the start of February, going a pedestrian 7-7 ATS.

The Suns are listed as a six-point favorite at most books, while the total is set at 202.
