Tuesday's betting tips: Strong winds expected for MLB matinees

Weather to watch

Cleveland Indians at Minnesota Twins – 17 mph winds are expected to be blowing out to right-centerfield.

Houston Astros at Philadelphia Phillies – 13 mph winds are expected to be blowing out to left-centerfield.

Who’s hot

NBA: The Spurs are 22-5-1 ATS in their last 28 home games.

NBA: Miami has covered in five straight home games.

NHL: The Los Angeles Kings are 6-0 in their last six road games.

MLB: The Brewers are 20-6 in Zack Greinke's last 26 starts.

Who’s not

NBA: The Pacers are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games following a straight up loss.

NBA: The over is 1-4 in the Clippers' last five overall.

NHL: Under is 4-11-3 in the Coyotes’ last 18 overall.

MLB: Arizona had won just one of its last eight ahead of Monday's action.

Key stat

-6.75 - The San Antonio Spurs have a -6.75 rebounding margin in the playoffs, worst of all the remaining teams in the postseason. Luckily for Spurs supporters, San Antonio is also leading the playoffs in offense, averaging 102.2.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Chris Bosh, Miami Heat - Bosh has a strained abdominal muscle and will be out indefinitely, the team announced Monday after an MRI exam confirmed the injury. The 28-year-old Bosh suffered the injury in the first half of a 95-86 win over the Pacers on Sunday in the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals. He had 13 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the floor and five rebounds in just 13 minutes when he left the game. Bosh averaged 15 points and 7.2 rebounds in the Heat's five-game win over the New York Knicks in the first round of the playoffs after averaging 18 points and 7.9 rebounds during the regular season.

Game of the day

Indiana Pacers at Miami Heat (-7.5, 185)

Notable quotable

“She died a hero. She was ready to go. She was tired, she was getting a little weak.” – Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton after the bat that produced eight of his nine homers last week finally suffered a small in Sunday’s win over the Angels. The bat is now heading to the MLB Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Hamilton hit .467 this past week with 18 RBI.

Notes and tips

Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin plans to play through his knee sprain despite the pain. He said he will suit up for Tuesday’s Game 1 against the San Antonio Spurs after being held to 18 points and 6.4 rebounds in Los Angeles’ series win over Memphis.

Frank Francisco, the biggest culprit in the New York Mets' second bullpen meltdown in three games, could be losing his grip on the closer's role -- if he hasn't lost it already. Francisco gave up three runs and did not retire a batter in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Marlins, leading manager Terry Collins to admit afterward that he is considering a change at closer. Collins will not make any decisions until the team arrives back in New York for the start of a four-game home stand Monday. "I've got eight options, or however many guys are down there," Collins said. "But I'm not going to address that right now. The emotions are running a little high tonight, and that's not a very good time to make a decision."

Russell Wilson made the most of his initial rookie camp with the Seahawks. By the end of the three days of workouts, head coach Pete Carroll deemed Wilson ready to enter the competition for the starting quarterback job with Matt Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson. "He's in the competition. That is going to tax us, as we know," Carroll said Sunday. "It was already going to be taxing with two, but he's shown us enough that we need to see where he fits in with these guys."

Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Some of the prop bets available for the Laker-Thunder game Monday:

Largest lead by either side at any point in game: 17

Total 3-pointers made, both sides: 12.5

Points + Assists, Kobe Bryant: 33

Points for Andrew Bynum: 17

Points + Assists, Russell Westbrook: 29

Points for Kevin Durant: 28

You could've bet the over/under on any of those propositions........


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


Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Random thoughts as I head home.........

13) I've got the solution for the NBA on how to decrease flopping by eager defenders (you can never totally eliminate it); just call less charging fouls. Every time you call a charge, you encourage flopping, so more charges will get drawn. Stop calling so many, guys will defend instead of flop.

12) I've watched this Alonso kid play 1B for the Padres; if I was the Reds, I would've found a place for him to play, especially in that tiny ballpark of theirs. Very good hitter. I know they got Mat Latos for him, but they need to go for groundball pitchers to avoid cheap flyball home runs.

11) You can bet on baseball games for the full nine innings, or just the first five, or if any runs will score in the first inning. This is why you sometimes hear random yelling int he sportsbook, even when you think not much is going on. Believe me, something is always going on........

10) Sparse crowds on a Monday night in Toronto, Washington, Queens; at some point, frontrunning NYC folk might realize the Mets are a contender right now. They play good ball, and deserve better fan support. Same for the Nationals, who jumped back into first place last night.

9) Mets have now gone 8,003 games without a no-hitter; Padres have gone 6,878. Marlins have had four in 17 years.

8) Texas hasn't put a guy on the DL yet; Nationals have put 11, and backup catcher Leon might be #12 after getting hurt in a home plate collision.

7) Let the record show that Bryce Harper's first MLB homer went over the centerfield fence against Tim Stauffer. He also dropped a fly ball that cost Washington a run. Things are always interesting around him.

6) Emilio Bonifacio is 18-18 stealing bases; he's not a better hitter, but he might be a better basestealer than teammate Jose Reyes.

5) I wish all outfield fences were nine feet high; its pretty cool when an OF robs the batter of a home run. Not real big on 12-15 foot fences, they just rob the hitters of home runs.

4) Pirates are 11-1 when they score 4+ runs, 6-17 when they don't.

3) Carlos Beltran has 21 RBI in May, most in the major leagues. Guess he didn't like New York City.

2) The commercial with the "other Michael Jordan" is a classic. The looks on people's faces when they realize they're not going to meet the famous Jordan are excellent.

1) If you've never been to Las Vegas, I highly recommend it; its unique, in both good and bad ways, mostly good. Be prepared to have fun.........




Armadillo was a little late getting this up yesterday and I forgot to go back and get it:


Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

Odds to win next month's US Open golf tournament........

7-1-- Rory McIlroy-- Best player in world right now.

12-1-- Eldrick Woods-- Last two tournaments haven't been good.

12-1-- Phil Mickelson-- Usually plays better on the west coast.

12-1-- Lee Westwood-- San Francisco is a long way from England.......

20-1-- Luke Donald-- Wasn't #1 player in the world very long.

30-1-- Adam Scott/Hunter Mahan/Bubba Watson/Dustin Johnson.


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


Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend........

13) Between NHL/NBA, there are 12 teams left playing; three of the 12 are in Los Angeles, playing home games at Staples Center. Arena workers are going to go nuts racking up overtime later this week, with two events on both Saturday/Sunday. Two basketball games Saturday, the Kings play on Sunday afternoon, then the Clippers Sunday night. Busy place.

12) Home teams are now 87-22 in NBA Game 7's.

11) This was just the Clippers' 3rd-ever winning season, and only second playoff series win since 1985. Good for them.

10) Quin Snyder is an assistant coach for the Lakers; he was head coach at Missouri from 1999-2006, where he coached a player named Josh Kroenke, who is now..........President and Governor of the Nuggets. Not that long ago he was in college; now he's President of an NBA team.

Kroenke's dad is Stan Kroenke, who owns the Nuggets/Avalanche and the St Louis Rams, which helps explains Josh's rapid rise to the top. This is an excellent organization though, one with a bright future.

9) If you want to bet the Super Bowl 8-9 months early, the NFC has been posted as a 3-point favorite over the AFC.

8) 23-11 Dodgers have the big leagues' best record, but Texas Rangers are the best team. Sunday night, Orel Hershiser said it wasn't even close, with Texas having the major leagues' best team, right now.

7) Pretty good Sunday for Joey Votto, who hit three homers, last of which was a walk-off grandslam in the Reds' 9-6 win over Washington. He is first player ever with three HRs in a game, with last one a walk-off grand slam.

6) Reds' win put the suprising Braves into first place in the NL East.

5) By the way, that game started 3:36 late because of rain; what did the Reds' TV station show during the delay? Womens' skeet shooting!!!!

4) Miami Marlins are 18-16, 8-6 at home; five of their eight home wins are walk-off wins. They need to bat Stanton cleanup.

3) When in Las Vegas, Joe's New York Pizza on Paradise Road is as good a pizza as I've had in years. I highly recommend it.

2) Despite the NBA's insistence on marketing stars, role players are what puts teams over the top; where would the Lakers be without Steve Blake? They'd be explaining why they lost to Denver. Blake saved their butts with tremendous shooting and solid ballhandling in Game 7.

1) Curious decision by ESPN for Sunday night baseball next week; its the first weekend of interleague play, but the Sunday night game will be Cards-Dodgers, the only two teams not participating in interleague next weekend.

Public opinion: Tuesday's biggest consensus plays

Check out Tuesday’s biggest consensus plays for NBA, NHL and MLB.

NBA:

Indiana Pacers at Miami Heat (-7.5, 185)

It looks as though bettors are at least a little concerned about Chris Bosh’s injury. The Miami Heat forward is out indefinitely with an abdominal strain and even though Game 2’s line is down a bit from Game 1’s odds, early bettors are supporting the Pacers to keep it close.

Consensus: Pacers 55 percent/Heat 45 percent


NHL:

Los Angeles Kings at Phoenix Coyotes (115, 4.5)

After the Los Angeles Kings stole Game 1 on the road from the Phoenix Coyotes, the support is split just about down the middle for Game 2. The Kings outshot the Coyotes 48-27 in the first game of the series and if it weren’t for one bad goal that got by Jonathan Quick, the final outcome could have been much more lopsided.

Consensus: Kings 49 percent/Coyotes 51 percent


MLB:

Kansas City Royals at Texas Rangers (-240, 10)

Colby Lewis gave up five homers and struck out 12 in his last outing, so it's hard to know what to expect from him this time around. Same thing with Kansas City pitcher Vin Mazzaro, who climbs the hill for his first start of the year. He has thrown just one inning in relief this year.

Consensus: Royals 30 percent/Rangers 70 percent.

Kings at Coyotes: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Kings at Phoenix Coyotes (+110, 4.5)

THE STORY: The Los Angeles Kings have built an impressive playoff run thanks to strong contributions from just about everyone - and Game 1 of the Western Conference finals was no exception. Dwight King's first career two-goal game paced the Kings to victory in the opener, and they'll look to forge a two-game lead as they visit the Phoenix Coyotes on Tuesday night. Phoenix was thoroughly outplayed in Game 1, surrendering 47 shots in a continuation of a disturbing post-season trend.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, NBCS, TSN, RDS

ABOUT THE KINGS: Los Angeles is doing just about everything right so far, compiling a 9-1 playoff record - including a 6-0 mark away from the Staples Center. Penalty killing has been the club's biggest strength, operating at a 93 percent clip while posting four shorthanded goals. The other side of the special teams equation has been the Kings' only weakness, with the power play scoring just four times in 51 opportunities. Despite the solid play to date, Kings netminder Jonathan Quick believes the team has room for improvement. "We're not where we want to be," he said. We've got goals here in this locker room."

ABOUT THE COYOTES: Phoenix struggled in the opener of its second-round series with Nashville but escaped with a 4-3 win. The Coyotes weren't as fortunate against a relentless Kings team that peppered netminder Mike Smith with 34 shots over the first two periods. For a team already allowing more than 36 shots per game in the postseason, Sunday's puck barrage was alarming. "We've got to be a lot better than that," said captain Shane Doan, playing in the final four for the first time in his career. "This is the conference playoffs. We didn't play well enough for a regular-season game."

TRENDS:
- Kings are 5-0 in their last five games as a road underdog.
- Under is 11-4-3 in Coyotes last 18 overall.
- Kings are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.

OVERTIME:

1. The Kings are 8-6 all-time when winning Game 1 of a series.

2. Los Angeles killed off all five Phoenix power plays in Game 1 and has extinguished 24 straight chances overall.

3. Coyotes D Derek Morris, who had a goal and an assist in the opener, has five points in 12 playoff games after recording just 11 points in 59 regular-season contests.

Armadillo's Write-Up

Tuesday, May 15

Pacers @ Heat (1-0)-- Heat was 4-5 in regular season when Bosh didn't play; he's likely out for series now. Home side won four of five series games, with Pacers losing two games here by 25-15-9 points; Indiana lucked out in first round with Orlando missing Howard- they've won seven of last eight road games, but couldn't hold 48-42 halftime lead in the opener here Sunday. Pacers' starting guards were just 5-15 from the floor. Miami won its four home playoff games by 33-10-12-9 points.

Clippers @ Spurs-- LA is very banged up (Paul/Griffin) after surviving Game 7 in Memphis 48 hours ago; now they go to Alamo to take on a rested, veteran Spurs' squad that dusted Utah 4-0, with only last game by less than 12 points. After watching tired Lakers get dismantled last night, hard to imagine Clippers putting up much of a fight here. Spurs crushed LA 115-90 in first meeting, then nipped Clippers in OT in LA in next meeting. LA won 120-108 here in last meeting, March 9.

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

Indiana Pacers at Miami Heat (-7.5, 185)

THE STORY: LeBron James and Dwyane Wade lost the third member of their star trio late in the first half on Sunday and completely took things over themselves. They'll need to do the same Tuesday as they entertain the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference second-round series. The Heat will be without the services of forward Chris Bosh, who is out indefinitely after an MRI revealed an abdominal strain.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, TNT

ABOUT THE PACERS: Indiana cruised past the Orlando Magic in the first round by playing strong team defense and getting over 21 points per game from Danny Granger. The defense worked in the first half of Game 1, but Granger was nowhere to be found. The swingman scored seven points on 1-for-10 shooting in the 95-86 loss. The Pacers had trouble getting much from any of their perimeter scorers in the contest while David West and Roy Hibbert combined for 34 points and 23 rebounds on the inside. West and Hibbert could become even more involved in the offense if Bosh is unable to play on Tuesday.

ABOUT THE HEAT: James took plenty of criticism for struggling in the fourth quarter throughout last year's playoffs. So far in 2012, James has been at his best down the stretch. The newly-crowned MVP scored 16 of his 32 points in the final frame on Sunday and added 15 rebounds and five assists to his final total. Wade was almost as sharp, finishing with 29 points and four assists and providing one of the highlights of the game with a chase-down block of Paul George on a fast break. The two stars were also part of the strong defensive effort against Granger. Bosh’s injury looms over the rest of the series, but with James crashing the boards, Miami still outrebounded the Pacers, 45-38, in Game 1.

TRENDS:
- The Heat are 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall.
- The under is 23-7 in the Heat's last 30 home games.
- The underdog is 24-10-1 ATS in the last 35 meetings.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. James joined Shaquille O’Neil as the only players in Miami history to record at least 30 points and 15 rebounds in a playoff game.

2. The Heat failed to record a 3-pointer (0 for 6) for the first time in franchise playoff history.

3. The Pacers were called for 31 personal fouls in Game 1 - nine more than the Heat.



Los Angeles Clippers at San Antonio Spurs (-11, 190.5)

THE STORY: The Los Angeles Clippers have to hope that too much rest will slow the San Antonio Spurs, who enter their Western Conference semifinal series riding a 14-game winning streak. San Antonio swept the Utah Jazz and has had seven days off as it prepares to host the hobbled Clippers in Game 1. The Spurs tied for the league's best home record (28-5), but Los Angeles won twice on the road in dispatching Memphis, including a victory in Game 7.

TV: 9:30 p.m. ET, TNT

ABOUT THE CLIPPERS: Despite injuries to All-Stars Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, Los Angeles won a decisive Game 7 after blowing a 3-1 series lead. A 27-point comeback in Game 1 set the tone for the Clippers, who got a great performance from their bench in closing out Memphis. Griffin, dealing with a sprained left knee, played fewer than two minutes in the final quarter. Paul (hip) and Caron Butler (fractured hand) also are hurt, so it’s imperative that Los Angeles continues to get strong production from its reserves against the league’s deepest and most balanced team. The Clippers won one of three meetings with the Spurs behind a season high-tying 36 points from Paul.

ABOUT THE SPURS: San Antonio had its streak of 100-point games stopped at 13 in its series-clinching win over the Jazz. Yet, that game also illustrated the daunting task awaiting the Clippers. The Spurs got quiet games from point guard Tony Parker and forward Tim Duncan, but nine players were on the floor for at least 20 minutes. San Antonio’s offensive efficiency has been off the charts – entering the final two games at Utah, the team had averaged more than 114 points during a 12-game stretch. The Spurs also feature a different look since they lost to Los Angeles at home on March 9, adding starting C Boris Diaw and high-scoring swingman Stephen Jackson.

TRENDS:
The Clippers are 3-11 ATS in the last 14 meetings.
The Spurs are 37-11-4 ATS in their last 52 games overall.
The under is 4-1 in the Clippers' last five overall.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Duncan, 36, who averages 19.3 points and 10.7 boards lifetime against the Clippers, is well-rested after playing in only six games since April 17.

2. Los Angeles nailed 14 3-pointers – seven by Mo Williams – in its last win over the Spurs. San Antonio was the league’s top-ranked team from behind the arc in the regular season at 39.3 percent.

3. Parker sat out the loss to the Clippers in March after lighting them up for 30 points one month earlier.

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

Streaking

Paul Maholm, Chicago Cubs (4-2, 4.05)

Maholm is turning out to be Chicago’s best offseason acquisition. After coming over from the Pirates, he struggled in his first couple of starts, but has it going on now. He has won each of his last four starts, yielding just three runs over that span (25 1/3 innings). During the hot streak, batters are hitting just .196 against him.

Johnny Cueto, Cincinnati Reds (4-0, 1.12 ERA)

Consistency was never Cueto’s strong suit – until now. He has six quality starts in seven outing this season and hasn’t allowed a single run in 16 innings. Cueto has now thrown at least seven innings in four of his last five starts and hasn’t served up a homer in four games.


Slumping

Colby Lewis, Texas Rangers (3-2, 3.69 ERA)

Lewis had a weird night the last time he took the hill. He struck out 12 Orioles, but also gave up home runs to the first three batters he faced and ended up yielding five homers over seven innings before getting the hook. Lewis allowed six runs and two homers in the start before that, so the longball is obviously an issue.

Jason Marquis, Minnesota Twins (2-2, 6.26 ERA)

Marquis is just one of many struggling Twins. He allowed seven hits and five earned runs in his last outing against the Blue Jays. He walked three in that loss and has issued nine free passes to first in his last two trips to the hill.
