Sunday’s betting tips: Pettitte favored in MLB return

Who’s hot

NBA: The over is 4-1 in Clippers last five road games.

NBA: The Heat are 5-1 ATS in their last six games as a favorite.

MLB: Cincinnati is 6-2 in Bronson Arroyo's last eight starts.

Who’s not

NBA: Grizzlies are 3-10-2 ATS in their last 15 games overall.

NBA: The under is 2-6 in the Pacers' last eight road games.

NBA: Minnesota has won just 14 of its last 57 games overall.

Key stat

0 – The Los Angeles Kings didn’t allow a single power play goal in their four-game sweep of St. Louis. The Kings shut down all 17 power plays they faced and lead the league killing 92.1 percent of their penalties in the playoffs.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Yoenis Cespedes, Oakland Athletics - The Oakland A's placed rookie outfielder Yoenis Cespedes on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a strained muscle in his left hand. Cespedes is hitting .245 with five home runs and 21 RBI.

Game of the day

Los Angeles Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies (-8, 178)

Notable quotable

"Come on, man, there's still a lot of games left. You're trying to create or write something negative like everybody else has already. It's just one game. We just need to come back tomorrow and put ourselves in a situation to try and win the series on Sunday." – Los Angeles Angels slugger Albert Pujols, is hitting just .192, after the Angels were pounded 10-3 by Texas Friday. The Angels were tied for last place in the AL West heading into Saturday’s action.

Notes and tips

Andy Pettitte makes his first MLB start since 2010 Sunday against the Seattle Mariners. Oddsmakers have Pettitte and the Yankees set as -140 favorites. The veteran lefty was 0-2 with a 3.71 ERA in four minor league starts and is expected to be on a 100-pitch count Sunday.

The Angels have traded away two major league catchers in the last two years -- Mike Napoli and Jeff Mathis. They'd take either one of them back right now. Chris Iannetta underwent a 40-minute procedure to remove the pisiform bone in his right wrist Friday. The small bone was fractured on May 2 when Iannetta was hit by a pitch. The projected recovery time is six to eight weeks. Iannetta was acquired in a trade with the Rockies last winter to be their primary catcher and inject some offense into the position. With him out, the Angels will turn to Bobby Wilson and John Hester, neither of whom has ever been a front-line catcher in the majors.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson is urging teammate, running back LeSean McCoy, to not hold out of training camp this summer. McCoy is entering the final year of his contract, much like Jackson last year when he held out following the lockout. Jackson was heavily criticized for the approach he took and he does not want the same thing to happen to McCoy. Both players are represented by agent Drew Rosenhaus. "I think it would be in his best interest to come" to offseason practices and camp, Jackson told the Philadelphia Inquirer on Friday. "Looking back now it really hurt me more than I thought it helped me. Hopefully he saw everything I went through, and hopefully Drew won't have him go through the same thing."

The Chicago Cubs placed right-handed reliever Carlos Marmol on the 15-day disabled list with a right hamstring strain, the club announced Saturday. In his place, the Cubs brought up right-hander Casey Coleman from Class AAA Iowa. Marmol, who recently lost his job as the team's closer, is 0-1 with a 6.35 ERA and two saves in 15 appearances this season. Coleman is 2-3 with a 3.48 ERA in seven games (six starts) for Iowa this year.

Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

Odds to win next spring's college basketball national championship.......

7-1-- Indiana Hoosiers-- Zeller returning was vital for this.

8-1-- Louisville Cardinals-- Very deep roster.

12-1-- Kentucky Wildcats-- Defending champs have talented newcomers.

15-1-- Kansas Jayhawks-- New conference rivals: West Virginia/TCU.

15-1-- Syracuse Orangemen-- Do they give Bernie Fine his job back?

15-1-- Ohio State Buckeyes-- Looking back, wish Oden had stayed longer in Columbus; leaving early crippled his NBA career.

15-1-- Michigan State Spartans-- Need their guys to stay healthier.


*****************


Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday.........

13) To me, best-of-7 series aren't conducive to basketball; you just don't need seven games, best-of-3 would be excellent. March Madness is thrilling because its single elimination and the best team doesn't always win. In the NBA, except for injury-riddled teams, the best team most always wins.

12) Eric Karros had a great tidbit on the FOX baseball game Saturday; when Josh Hamilton had 18 total bases in his 4-HR game earlier this week, Adrian Beltre was hitting behind him in the lineup.

Shawn Green holds the big league record with 19 total bases; that night, in 2002, the batter hitting in front of Green? Adrian Beltre.

11) Group of guys in sportsbook were fired up tonight, rooting for Andre Iguodala to score more than 17.5 points (he scored 19) and for both teams to combine for 10 made 3-pointers (they made 7). Lot of interesting prop bets they come up with, to keep the action lively throughout the game.

10) This trade happened in the NBA this season..........

Washington Wizards:
Traded: Javale McGee, Ronny Turiaf, Nick Young
Received: Nene Hilario, Brian Cook and a 2nd-round pick.

Denver Nuggets:
Traded: Nene Hilario
Received: Javale McGee, Ronny Turiaf

Los Angeles Clippers:
Traded: Brian Cook and a 2nd-round pick
Received: Nick Young

Anyone wonder why the Wizards always lose? Who gets rid of a freakish athlete like McGee?, and Young is helping the Clippers too. Cook played 9.7 mpg for the Wizards; he is 31. Hilario is pretty good, but he is 29. Look at the way McGee runs and jumps-- he's a unique talent!!!!! Yikes.

9) Texas Rangers haven't had a player on the DL yet this season.

8) Interesting decision by the Angels, starting CJ Wilson two days in a row, after he threw 22 pitches in a rain-delayed game Friday night. Angels won the Saturday game, will be interesting to chart Wilson moving forward.

7) Last week, one of our trivia answers identified Kyle Drabek as the only pitcher in the big leagues with a single digit uniform number. Since then, the Rockies called up Alex White, who wears number 6, so now there are two.

6) Very quietly, Carlos Zambrano has been excellent for the Marlins; in his last two starts, he's thrown 16 scoreless innings.

5) Two of the big news stories on the Las Vegas local TV tonight were the graduation at UNLV, and the Runnin' Rebels signing Anthony Bennett, who one station touted as UNLV's best recruit since Larry Johnson. Wow.

4) No Stanley Cup champion has gone seven games in its first two playoff series, the way the Rangers have this spring. New York advances with a 8-6 playoff record. Washington goes home at 7-7.

3) Some influential Florida State people are pushing the school to look at a move to the Big X, which is called the Big XII but only has ten teams right now, with TCU/West Virginia joining this year, and A&M/Mizzou going. Being in the ACC does very little for the Seminoles' football program.

2) Roy Halladay has no wins in his last five starts. Very unusual.

1) Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there, if any of you readers are actually moms. I'll think of you while I'm sitting by the pool today.

Public opinion: Sunday's biggest consensus bets

Check out Sunday’s biggest consensus plays in the NHL, NBA and MLB.

NBA

Los Angeles Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies (-8, 178)

The Memphis Grizzlies barely edged the Los Angeles Clippers for the No. 4 seed and home-court advantage, putting them in position to host Sunday’s winner-take-all Game 7. The Grizzlies have clawed back from a 3-1 series deficit with two straight victories, including Friday's night's 90-88 win in Los Angeles over the hobbled Clippers. Memphis has won two of three at home in the series, but blew a 27-point lead in Game 1 and frittered away most of a 24-point edge in Game 5.

Consensus: Los Angeles (75 percent)/Memphis (25 percent)

NHL

Los Angeles Kings at Phoenix Coyotes (+101, 4.5)

Goaltending will be the focus as the Los Angeles Kings visit the Phoenix Coyotes in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals Saturday night. Kings netminder Jonathan Quick is enjoying the best season in franchise history, nominated for the Vezina Trophy following a dominant regular season and boasting similarly stingy numbers so far in the playoffs. Phoenix has its own star goalie in Mike Smith, the only player in the postseason with two shutouts on his resume.

Consensus: Los Angeles (60 percent)/Phoenix (40 percent)

MLB

San Diego Padres at Philadelphia Phillies (-200, 7.5)

Despite persistent trade rumors surrounding Philadelphia starter Cole Hamels, the betting public is all over him even with the hefty price tag. He missed his last start after being suspended for intentionally hitting rookie Bryce Harper with a pitch. Hamels allowed just one run in eight innings during that win while striking out eight. The Phillies are just 6-8 at home this season.

Consensus: Philadelphia (74 percent)/San Diego (26 percent)

Kings @ Coyotes-- These teams are in unchartered territory; survivor of series is going to be Cinderella in Stanley Cup finals. Home teams won four of last five games in this series, with LA 4-8 in last dozen visits to desert. Seven of last nine series games stayed under total. Both teams are well-rested; Kings haven't had a game since eliminating Blues last Sunday; Phoenix hasn't played since Monday. Coyotes won last three home games, allowing seven goals. Kings are 5-0 on road in playoffs, allowing a total of eight goals.

NHL Western Conference final: Preview and prediction
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No. 3 Phoenix Coyotes vs. No. 8 Los Angeles Kings

Series prices: Los Angeles -175, Phoenix +130

It’s not a coincidence that the last two teams standing in the Western Conference are the clubs that had the two best goaltenders during the regular season.

Statistically speaking, there is really no difference between Mike Smith and Jonathan Quick. Quick is the owner of a .949 save percentage in the playoffs while Smith isn’t far behind, sitting at .948. Both goalies are on a record-setting pace.

Smith has been the busier of the two netminders, facing an average of 36 shots per outing. Quick, thanks in large part to a water-tight defense in front of him, has had to stop only 28 shots a night.

With neither team really having an advantage between the pipes, you really have to break down the rest of the lineups to find an edge.

After averaging 2.29 goals per game during the regular season, the Kings have increased that number to a surprising 3.00 goals in the postseason. The addition of Jeff Carter turned the Kings offense around late in the season, but it’s the captain Dustin Brown who has been the biggest difference maker in the playoffs. Brown has been Mr. Everything for the Kings and, while he’s not known for his offensive game, he leads the team with 11 points in nine games.

The Coyotes have done a great job scoring by committee but they lack the game-breaker they will need in key moments against Darryl Sutter’s defense. The one area where the Coyotes do have an advantage is on special teams, or more specifically the power play. Phoenix’s power play is firing at 16.1 percent while the Kings have struggled with the man advantage, scoring on less than nine percent of their chances.

The season series between the two teams had a little bit of everything. Quick had a couple of shutouts, Smith had one of his own and the teams even had a wild 5-4 finish in one of their six head-to-head meetings.

Smith is certainly capable of out dueling Quick in two or three games but doesn’t have the offensive weapons in front of him to win this series and advance to the Stanley Cup final.

Season Series: Phoenix (2-2-2), Los Angeles (3-1-2)

Series Prediction: Kings in six games

Armadillo's Write-Up

Sunday, May 13

Clippers (3-3) @ Grizzlies-- Health of Paul/Griffin is again key to this game, as Clippers are dead if Paul can't be explosive off the dribble. He had only 11 points in 35 minutes in Game 6 loss (Clippers led by 8 in 4th quarter); flying cross-country twice in four days can't help. LA has three series wins by combined total of six points, with couple of one-point wins and one in OT. Three of last four series games stayed under total, as teams know each other's sets like the back of their hands.

Pacers @ Heat-- Home side won three of four series games, with Pacers losing two games here by 25-15 points; Indiana lucked out in first round with Orlando missing Dwight Howard- they've won last seven games on road, with last away loss March 31 at San Antonio. Miami breezed past the Knicks in five games in first round, winning three home games by 33-10-12 points. Indiana allowed 84.5 ppg in winning last four games with Orlando, after losing the opener by four points.

What bettors need to know: Sunday's NBA playoff action
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies (-8, 178)

Series tied 3-3

THE STORY: The Memphis Grizzlies barely edged the Los Angeles Clippers for the No. 4 seed and home-court advantage, putting them in position to host Sunday’s winner-take-all Game 7. The Grizzlies have clawed back from a 3-1 series deficit with two straight victories, including Friday's night's 90-88 win in Los Angeles over the hobbled Clippers. Memphis has won two of three at home in the series, but blew a 27-point lead in Game 1 and frittered away most of a 24-point edge in Game 5.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, ABC

ODDS: The Grizzlies opened as low as 6.5-point favorites and were bet up to -8. The total was posted at 179.5 and has come down to 178 points.

ABOUT THE CLIPPERS: Los Angeles has displayed amazing resiliency in Memphis, but that will be tested due to the injuries sustained by All-Stars Chris Paul (hip) and Blake Griffin (knee) in Game 5. Both players were clearly limited Friday and Paul, considered one of the game’s great closers, was a non-factor with one point in the fourth quarter. "I couldn't move as much as I like to," Paul admitted. Backup point guard Eric Bledsoe and reserve forward Kenyon Martin combined to score 24 points in Game 6, but Nick Young has been missing in action since 19- and 11-point efforts in the first two games. He has a combined two points on 1-for-8 shooting in the last two contests.

ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES: Leading scorer Rudy Gay has a combined 27 points in the last two games but Memphis has used the same blueprint to twice stave off elimination. The tandem of Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph has overpowered the Clippers in the back-to-back wins. The 7-foot-1 Gasol was all but invisible during a three-game stretch before bouncing back with consecutive 23-point outings. Randolph, the hero of last season’s playoff run, submitted his second straight double-double with 18 points and 16 boards in Game 6. After having missed 2 1/2 months due to knee surgery, he was less than sympathetic about Los Angeles’ injuries. ''Everybody's hurting. My knee is hurting. I ain't looking for no excuse,” Randolph said.

TRENDS:

* Favorite is 5-2-2 ATS in the last nine meetings.
* Home team is 5-2-2 ATS in the last nine meetings.
* Under is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Only eight teams in NBA history have rebounded from a 3-1 deficit to win a seven-game series.

2. Since 1948, the home team has prevailed in Game 7 a whopping 80 percent of the time.

3. Memphis has won 13 of its last 14 home games, the only loss coming when it squandered the 27-point lead in Game 1.


Indiana Pacers at Miami Heat (-8.5, 188)

SERIES ODDS: Pacers +600, Heat -1429

THE STORY: The Miami Heat had little trouble dispatching the New York Knicks in five games in round one, leaning on newly-crowned MVP LeBron James and a strong team defensive effort. The Indiana Pacers had just as easy a time with the Orlando Magic in the first round, under far less scrutiny. Danny Granger took charge with 21.4 points and will likely draw James as a defender on Sunday when the Eastern Conference semifinals start.

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, ABC

ABOUT THE PACERS: Indiana has been largely overlooked despite being the No. 3 seed in the East and going 12-3 in April to finish the regular season. The Pacers put on a convincing display in the first round, dropping the first game to the Magic and then controlling the rest of the series. They outscored Orlando 36-16 in the fourth quarter of Game 5 to cruise to a 105-87 victory. While Granger was the main scorer, Indiana got strong performances from Roy Hibbert, George Hill and David West. The Pacers dropped the first three regular season meetings with Miami but took the last one, 105-90, behind 25 points from Granger on Mar. 26.

ABOUT THE HEAT: James received his third MVP Award on Saturday, picking up 85 of 121 first place votes. The star forward was humbled but spoke of a “bigger goal,” saying “I want that championship. That’s all that matters to me.” James certainly played like that was the case in the first round, averaging 27.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.6 assists. With the top-seeded Chicago Bulls making an early exit, Miami is the clear favorite to advance to the NBA Finals for a second-straight season. The only issue that crops up for the Heat is with the supporting cast, which has been inconsistent all season. Mario Chalmers, Shane Battier and Mike Miller each had strong games against the Knicks.

TRENDS:
- The underdog is 24-9-1 ATS in the last 34 meetings.
- The under is 22-7 in Heat last 29 home games.
- The Pacers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. James is the eighth player in NBA history to have won at least three MVP awards.

2. James has averaged 27.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.6 assists in his career against Indiana.

3. Granger has been held to 17 points on 40.5 percent shooting in his career against Miami.

Sunday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Streaking

Jered Weaver, Los Angeles Angels (5-0, 1.60 ERA)

Weaver wasn’t nearly as dominant in his first start after his no-hitter, but didn’t give his supporters anything to complain about either. He allowed one run on three hits in six innings in an 8-3 win over Minnesota. He walked two and struck out a pair and has allowed only nine runs in 50 2/3 innings this season.

Lance Lynn, St. Louis Cardinals (6-0, 1.40 ERA)

Lynn continued his remarkable rookie season, throwing five scoreless innings in what turned out to be a 9-6 victory over Arizona. He allowed three hits while striking out seven and is now working on a tidy 0.85 WHIP so far this year.


Slumping

Kevin Millwood, Seattle Mariners (0-4, 5.88 ERA)

Millwood had trouble with his control in his last trip to the hill, walking five batters in just five innings. He also gave up five runs on eight hits in a 6-4 loss to Detroit. The 37-year-old has lost four straight decisions, yielding 15 runs over that span.

Philip Humber, Chicago White Sox (1-2, 6.83 ERA)

Humber’s perfect game seems like a very long time ago. Since then, he has allowed 20 earned runs, including five home runs, in 13 1/3 innings. He didn’t make it out of the third inning in his last start, giving up eight runs in an 8-6 loss to Cleveland. "I'm doing my best, it's just the last two or three times out there, it's been rough,” he told reporters. “I'm definitely hoping for better results. I'm doing the best I can to make that happen, but right now it's kind of a grind."

Sunday Night Baseball: Angels at Rangers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Angels at Texas Rangers (-130, N/A)

Two of baseball's best at their craft square off Sunday night when the Texas Rangers host the Los Angeles Angels in the rubber game of their three-game series. Texas slugger Josh Hamilton attempts to continue his power display against Los Angeles ace Jered Weaver, who has yet to lose this season. Hamilton leads the major leagues in batting average (.402), home runs (18) and RBIs (41). He has gone deep nine times over his last six games and has more blasts than the entire San Diego Padres club (13). Weaver is tied for first in the American League in wins (five), ranks second in ERA (1.60) and is fifth with 47 strikeouts.

Hamilton is 9-for-34 (.265) lifetime against Weaver with five doubles, a homer and three RBIs. Weaver has registered five strikeouts in the head-to-head battle. The Angels have won eight of their last 12 games while the Rangers have captured four of six. Texas has claimed 13 of the last 21 meetings between the AL West rivals.

TV: 8:05 p.m. ET, ESPN

PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels RH Jered Weaver (5-0, 1.60 ERA) vs. Rangers RH Neftali Feliz (2-1, 3.38 ERA)

Weaver is coming off back-to-back victories over Minnesota in which he allowed a total of one run and three hits over 15 innings. After tossing a no-hitter against the Twins at home on May 2, the 29-year-old tossed six strong innings at Target Field five days later for his first road win of the year. Weaver owns a 9-6 record with a 3.41 ERA and two complete games in 25 career starts against Texas.

Feliz will be making the sixth start of his career, all this season. The former closer allowed more than three runs just once over his first five outings. In his only start at home, Feliz tossed seven scoreless innings in a win over Seattle in his season debut. The 24-year-old limited the Orioles to one run and four hits over six frames in a win at Camden Yards on Tuesday.

WALK-OFFS

1. Angels slugger Albert Pujols went 1-for-3 on Saturday to raise his average to .195.
2. Hamilton is the second player in history to hit 18 homers in the first 34 games of a season. Cy Williams accomplished the feat in 1923.
3. Hamilton's blast on Saturday extended his hitting streak to 12 games. But teammate Elvis Andrus went 0-for-3, ending his streak at 11 contests.
