Guys,

I've got to leave for a few hours. ESPN puts out the short sheet trends and they never did bother with MLB at all yesterday. I hope they do better today.

We still need all 3 short sheets and the write-ups for NBA and NHL. No worries in hoops and pucks as I'll be back in plenty of time to get that stuff well before gametime. It's the baseball short sheet that has me worried. Even if they do put them out today, I may not be able to post before first pitch. I will certainly do my best!

Good luck today, everybody!

Sunday, May 15

Over is 13-8 so far in second round, after unders dominated in first round; favorites are 14-7 in this round.

Memphis started OJ Mayo in Game 6 and played only six guys for 12+ minutes, as Grizzlies forced this Game 7. All six series games were won by 8+ points, even though Games 3-4 both went OT. Three of last four series games stayed under, after first two went over. Durant was 3-14 in Game 6, as nine of his 14 shots were behind arc; they need to get looks for him closer to hoop. Randolph was 12-22 Friday after going 3-9 last game here. Home team won four of last five series games.

Chicago is 5-1 at home in playoffs (3-3 vs spread) with only loss Game 1 vs Atlanta; under is 6-5 in their playoff games this spring. Miami won eight of its ten playoff games, with five of last six going over total; they split four road games so far, scoring 82-81 points in the losses. Miami is 0-3 vs Chicago this season, with three losses by total of 8 points, with all three games played between Jan 15-Mar 6, which makes wins by the Bulls more impressive, since it was after Miami had chance to develop a chemistry the other good teams already had.

Write-Up


Sunday, May 15

Neither San Jose-Vancouver has ever won the Stanley Cup; Sharks were swept in this round LY, Canucks haven't been to Western final since '94. Vancouver lost its last two home games, as visitor won last five games in their series with Nashville. San Jose is 4-2 on road in playoffs; they won Game 7 vs Detroit in last round, so they've had less time to prepare for this. Vancouver won three of four meetings with San Jose this year, with Canucks' wins going over, the loss staying under. Overall, Sharks are 5-3 in last eight games in this building.
