Cincinnati Reds at Pittsburgh Pirates – 11 mph winds are expected to blow out to right-centerfield.

Who’s hot

NBA: The under is 25-8 in the Heat’s last 33 home games.

NHL: The Kings are 8-0 in their last eight road games.

MLB: The over is 37-13-1 in Dana DeMuth's last 51 games behind home plate. He's scheduled to work Wednesday's O's-Jays matchup.

WNBA: The Minnesota Lynx are 6-1 ATS in their last seven road games.

Who’s not

Key stat

8.1 – The Los Angeles Kings have converted only 8.1 percent of their powerplay opportunities in the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Devils struggled early in the postseason with their penalty kill, but rebounded to shut down the Rangers on all of their six PP chances over the last three games of the Eastern Conference final.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Dustin Pedroia, Boston Red Sox – Pedroia sat out Tuesday’s game after jamming his thumb Monday night. He’s considered day-to-day for now. The second baseman is hitting .292 with five homers and 21 RBIs this season.

Game of the day

Los Angeles Kings at New Jersey Devils (100, 4.5)

Notable quotable

"It's the conference finals, we can’t just keep giving games away. We feel this is a must-win game for us. Eventually if we’re going to beat these guys, we're going to have to beat them at some point in time at home." – Boston Celtics guard Rajon Rondo about Game 2 against the Miami Heat.

Notes and tips

Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers told ESPN.com Tuesday he was considering sitting Ray Allen for a game during the Eastern Conference finals, but that he would play in Game 2. Rivers spoke of the dilemma in sitting Allen, who has played with bone spurs in his ankles and struggled as a result. Allen went 1-for-7 on shooting and scored just six points in 39 minutes against in Game 1. He's averaging 9.6 points per game in the postseason, well below his career averages. The Celtics are set as 8-point underdogs in Game 2.

The defending-champion Minnesota Lynx have picked up right where they left off last season, going 4-0 straight up and 3-1 against the spread to begin the WNBA season. The Lynx pace the league averaging better than 90 points per game and take on Washington, which owns the league’s worst offense at 60.5 points per contest, on Wednesday. The Lynx opened as 11-point road favorites.

The NBA Draft Lottery - also known as the Anthony Davis Sweepstakes - is set to go Wednesday. The Charlotte Bobcats are pegged as a +180 favorite to win the lottery followed by Washington (+200), Cleveland (+500), and New Orleans (+650)

Public opinion: Wednesday's top consensus plays

Consensus percentages and odds current as of 8 p.m. ET, Tuesday.

NBA:

Boston Celtics at Miami Heat (-7.5, 177)

The Boston Celtics looked like they were ready to battle with the Heat through the first half of Game 1, but it was downhill for the most part after that. Boston hit just two of its first 12 attempts in the third quarter and never recovered. Coach Doc Rivers said his club would be better prepared for Game 2 and it looks like most bettors believe him.

Consensus: Celtics 55.9 percent

NHL:

Los Angeles Kings at New Jersey Devils (100, 4.5)

Even though goaltenders Martin Brodeur and Jonathan Quick are in the running for the Conn Smythe trophy, early bettors are taking a long look at the over with this 4.5-goal total on the board. Just one of New Jersey’s game against the Rangers played over, but the Kings’ offense has come alive, averaging 2.93 goals per contest in the postseason.

Consensus: Over 57.8 percent

MLB:

San Diego Padres at Chicago Cubs (-133, N/A)

Oddsmakers traditionally love the loveable losers, but maybe bettors are actually realizing how terrible this year’s Cubs team really is. Ryan Dempster, one of the club’s mainstays in the rotation for years, helped Chicago to just three wins in his last 17 starts.

Consensus: Padres 65.3 percent


WNBA:

Chicago Sky at San Antonio Silver Stars (-5, 150)

San Antonio has had a light schedule so far with just two games on record. The Silver Stars split the pair straight up, but have covered in both. They dropped an 83-79 decision to Connecticut last Friday, covering as 7-point underdog. This will be San Antonio’s home opener, while Chicago heads into the matchup riding a 4-10 skid against the spread on the road.

Consensus: Silver Stars 64 percent

Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

We're going to go thru the over/under win totals for each NFL team in this space over the next week, division-by-division. Today, the NFC South:

-- Falcons 9, under -$135-- Try punting on 4th-and-1 next year.

-- Panthers 7.5, under -$115-- Newton needs a better defense.

-- Saints 10, over, -$125-- Multiple distractions; a huge ?mark.

-- Buccaneers 6, under -$120-- How did Schiano get to the NFL?

Remember, what I've listed here are just odds, not any prediction.......


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


Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Random midweek stuff..........

13) It’s a fair question to ask; is Tampa Bay’s Drew Sutton the worst player ever to bat cleanup in a big league game? Bizarre lineups sometimes get used in September, but Tampa Bay’s Memorial Day lineup makes you wonder if Joe Maddon has Chicago’s Chris Sale on his fantasy team.

12) Sutton has 178 career AB in 91 games; Sunday was just his sixth game this season (he was 0-8 in previous two). Jose Lobaton batted 5th; this was his first game since April 12, just his 27th big league game overall (63 PA). The four guys who batted behind Lobaton have to be wondering where they stand with the ballclub, or maybe now they know.

11) This lefty/righty crap is out of hand, its almost become a self-fulfilling prophecy, where left-handed hitters believe they can’t hit lefty pitchers. Luke Scott is 9-56 vs southpaws, so he has to sit against lefties, but Matt Joyce is hitting .250 with two homers against southpaws. Lobatan/Sutton make Joyce look like freakin’ George Brett, no matter who the pitcher is. He should have been in Monday’s lineup.

10) Then there’s Carlos Pena, who’s been fooling big league skippers for over a decade now. A decent fielder who hits like Rob Deer, Pena is .185 vs lefties, .220 vs righties, not exactly the kind of production you want from a corner infielder. Billy Beane preferred Scott Hatteberg to Pena, even before Hatteberg had ever played a game at 1B.

9) That said, the Rays win a hell of a lot more than they should; Maddon is generally an excellent skipper. Maybe getting goofy now and then and playing weird lineups keeps his team loose and on their toes and helps them win in the long run. Go figure.

8) Paul Konerko is 27-50 during his 14-game hitting streak, which ended on Tuesday. That’s 27-50 with a lot of pop.

7) Kid named Billy Hamilton already has 52 stolen bases for a Reds’ farm club in the California League; he’s batting .316 with 10 doubles, 7 triples, and 22 walks. Only red flag is that this his fourth year in pro ball, and he’s still in Advanced Class A. He won’t be 22 until September, though.

6) If you like to play season over/under win totals in the NFL, know that LVH has the Browns at 4.5 wins, MGM has them at 6; play under 6, over 4.5, and if the Browns go 5-11, you win both plays- if they go 6-10, you win one, push one.

Same with the Giants, who are 8.5 at LVH, 10 at betonline.com; if Big Blue has another miraculous 9-7 season, you hit your middle and cash both tickets. Otherwise, all you lose is 10% vigorish on one play, unless they go 10-6 then you get a win and a push.

5) Miami Dolphins will be featured on HBO’s Hard Knocks this summer; expect to see lot of Reggie Bush and bizarre lineman Richie Incognito, who once owned a vehicle with 31 TVs in it. Where did they all go? You’ll probably see a lot of rookie QB Ryan Taneyhill’s wife too; the cameras will definitely like her.

4) NBA Draft Lottery is Wednesday night, the one TV show no one wants to be on, unless you traded into that draft slot. The team that gets the #1 pick (and Anthony Davis) will be glad to be there, though.

3) Ray Allen is shooting 26.8% behind the arc in these playoffs, only 60% from the foul line; he has always been a great shooter. Whats up with that?

2) Technology is our friend: my regular dentist e-mailed my dental x-rays to the root canal specialist for my Wednesday appointment, so I don’t have to stop and pick them up on my way to being tortured Wednesday morning. Novocaine is also our friend.

1) Friday is National Doughnut Day; Krispy Kreme and Dunkin’ Donuts are both giving away free stuff. Enjoy!!!

Kings @ Devils-- When LA lost 2-1 in this building way back on October 13, in third game of season, no one on this planet thought it was Finals preview, but it was. #8-seed Kings are on amazing 12-2 playoff run, winning all eight games on road- they scored total of one goal in the two losses. New Jersey has won the Stanley Cup three times; LA is making just second visit to Finals (lost 4-0 in '03 Final to Montreal, with three OT losses). Kings haven't played since Tuesday, eight days ago; Devils last played on Friday. Over is 5-3 in LA's playoff road games, 5-2-1 in New Jersey home games. Over is 6-4-4 in Game 1's in playoffs.

Kings at Devils Game 1: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Kings at New Jersey Devils (100, 4.5)

THE STORY: In the parity-driven NHL, any team qualifying for the postseason has a chance at reaching the Stanley Cup championships - and this year's participants are living proof. The upstart New Jersey Devils look for their first Stanley Cup title in nearly a decade as they host the opening game of the best-of-seven Wednesday night against Los Angeles. The Kings haven't been to the finals since 1993 and are looking for their first championship in franchise history.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBC, CBC, RDS

ABOUT THE KINGS: Los Angeles found itself in eighth place in the Western Conference after losing its regular-season finale to San Jose. Since then, the Kings have been the hottest team in the league, going 12-2 against top-seeded Vancouver, No. 2 St. Louis and No. 3 Phoenix to reach the championship round for the first time since Wayne Gretzky was the star of L.A. If the Kings prevail, they'll be the lowest-scoring team in history to raise the Stanley Cup - but that designation hasn't really applied since acquiring forward Jeff Carter from Columbus. Los Angeles averaged an extra 0.54 goals per game in the lineup, giving them a balanced offense to complement a solid defense and sensational goaltending from Jonathan Quick.

ABOUT THE DEVILS: Sixth-seeded New Jersey almost didn't make it out of the first round, needing seven games to dispatch the pesky Florida Panthers. A five-game romp over the Philadelphia Flyers and an impressive six-game triumph over the top-ranked New York Rangers has the Devils in position to capture their fourth Stanley cup championship, and first since 2003. Leading the way has been 40-year-old goaltender Martin Brodeur, who posted a 2.00 goals-against average and .927 save percentage in guiding the Devils past the favored Rangers. His next playoff game will be the 200th of his NHL career; only fellow netminder Patrick Roy (247) has appeared in more.

TRENDS:
- Kings are 8-0 in their last eight road games.
- The under is 20-7-1 in the Devils' last 28 vs. Western Conference.
- Kings are 21-7 in their last 28 overall.

OVERTIME:

1. New Jersey won both regular-season meetings, prevailing 2-1 in a shootout on Oct. 13 and blanking Los Angeles 3-0 just 12 days later.

2. The Devils ranked first in the NHL in penalty killing during the regular season but has struggled mightily in the playoffs, ranked 13th overall at 74.2 percent.

3. No team seeded lower than fifth has ever won the Stanley Cup. The No. 5 Devils were the lowest-ranked club to accomplish the feat in 1995.

Celtics @ Heat (1-0)-- Spurs covered last night, so Game 1 losers are 9-4 vs spread in Game 2's in playoffs this year; Celtics should give a better effort here, but still are playing third game in five nights- they scored 35 points in second quarter of Game 1, but only 44 points total in other three quarters, with Allen just 1-7 from floor in 39:00 on floor. Miami is still just 2-3 vs Boston this year; if they want short series to stay rested for Finals, they need this game. James/Wade combined to shoot 21-35 (60%) from floor in Game 1; when they shoot 50%+, very difficult to beat, especially for an older team. Fact of matter is that over in Celtics' eight playoff wins, over is 5-3- they only scored 79 points in Game 1. Under is 4-1-1 in Boston's six playoff losses.

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

Boston Celtics at Miami Heat (-7.5, 177)

THE STORY: The Miami Heat have one impressive victory in the books and seek a take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals when they host the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. LeBron James had 32 points and 13 rebounds in the opening game and Miami pulled away in the third quarter en route to a 93-79 victory. A tired Boston squad struggled with Miami’s athleticism and needs a sharp bounce-back performance in Game 2.

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN

ABOUT THE CELTICS: Forward Kevin Garnett posted his 10th double-double of the postseason with 23 points and 10 rebounds but fellow veterans Paul Pierce and Ray Allen had poor showings in the opener. Pierce was just 5 of 18 from the field while scoring 12 points and Allen was 1 of 7 from the field and a shocking 3 of 7 from the free-throw line while tallying just six points. Allen continues to be plagued with an ankle injury that is affecting his ability to push off while shooting. The Celtics scored 35 points in the second quarter and then just 33 in the second half. “I think we believe we can beat them,” Pierce said. “It’s all about making adjustments.”

ABOUT THE HEAT: James hit 13 of 22 shots in Game 1 and also had 13 rebounds and three blocks in a solid all-around performance. He has 19 career 30-point, 10-rebound postseason efforts, which ranks third among active players behind Tim Duncan (31) and Dirk Nowitzki (29). However, James wasn’t all that thrilled with a showing that saw Miami blow a double-digit first-half lead before getting things together in the third quarter. “We didn’t play our best game,” said James, “and we want to just try to continue to get better throughout the series.” Guard Dwyane Wade had a quiet game until scoring 10 of his 22 points in the final quarter. The Heat enjoyed a 48-33 rebounding edge.

TRENDS:
- Over is 5-1 in the last six meetings in Miami.
- Celtics are 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings.
- Heat are 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Miami forward Chris Bosh remains sidelined with a strained lower abdominal muscle.

2. Boston point guard Rajon Rondo had just seven assists in the opener and is averaging just 7.5 over his last four games following a five-game stretch in which he averaged 14.6 against the Philadelphia 76ers.

3. The Heat blocked 11 shots in Game 1, falling one shy of the franchise playoff record set in 2009 against the Atlanta Hawks.

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


Streaking

Lucas Harrell, Houston Astros (4-3, 3.72 ERA)

Harell showed up Clayton Kershaw in his last start, allowing just one run on five singles over 7 1/3 innings of a 3-1 win. He didn’t strike out a batter and walked three, but only needed 94 pitches to get the job done thanks to his dirty sinker. Harell forced the Dodgers into 17 groundball outs and hasn’t allowed more than two runs in his last four trips to the hill.

Yovani Gallardo, Milwaukee Brewers (3-4, 4.19 ERA)

If it weren’t for two rotten starts, Gallardo’s numbers would be much better. He just allowed one run over 7 1/3 innings, striking out five and walking three in a win over Arizona. The victory was Gallardo’s eighth quality start of the season and has thrown at least six innings in each of his last five turns in the rotation.


Slumping

Ian Kennedy, Arizona Diamondbacks (3-5, 4.65 ERA)

Kennedy finished with five losses last season, but has already eclipsed that number before June this year. He was smacked for four runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings in a 7-1 loss to Milwaukee. Kennedy gave up two taters and has now yielded seven homers in his last four starts.

Jon Lester, Boston Red Sox (3-4, 4.72 ERA)

Lester’s up-and-down season continues. He allowed seven earned runs and three home runs in last week’s 7-4 loss to the Rays, throwing 48 strikes in his 81 pitches. He won his two previous starts before that, but allowed eight hits in each and allowed four runs in five innings against Philadelphia.

Prepare for the worst: What's behind Weaver and Halladay?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nothing causes a baseball fan to gasp in horror like seeing your team’s ace grimace on the mound.

The slow, worried walk of the manager out to the pitcher is usually paced by the trance-like chanting of “Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit” by team faithful - especially if the pitching reservoirs are an unknown commodity.

There are more than a few worried clubs out there with top-tier hurlers nursing ailments, most recently the Philadelphia Phillies with Roy Halladay, and the Los Angeles Angels with Jered Weaver.

Here’s a look at those injuries and how each team would absorb the loss of a staff ace:

Jered Weaver, Los Angeles Angeles

Weaver left with back pain in the first inning of Monday’s start against the New York Yankees and is now headed for a stint on the 15-day DL. The stud right-hander, who is 6-1 with a 2.61 ERA.

The injury comes at a bad time for the Halos, who take on the Yankees and Texas Rangers this week, hoping to jump above .500. On top of that, the staff is monitoring starter C.J. Wilson, who is day-to-day with a blisters on his fingers. And not the good Ringo Starr kind either.

Relievers Bobby Cassevah and Jordan Walden stepped in for the bulk of the innings once Weaver went down – two of five bullpen pitchers used Monday. Los Angeles could call up Garrett Richards from Triple-A Salt Lake (6.30 ERA in May). Richards appeared in seven games – three starts – last year, posting a 0-2 record and 5.79 ERA with the Angels.

Roy Halladay, Philadelphia Phillies

The Doc visited the doctor to get a closer look at his ailing right shoulder and will now be on the DL for six to eight weeks with a shoulder strain. Halladay left in the second inning of Sunday’s loss to the St. Louis Cardinals and had to wait a day to be examined due to the Memorial Day holiday. Halladay has been a workhorse, having avoided the disabled list since 2005.

Philadelphia is already down one starter, with budding ace Vance Worley on the 15-day DL due to elbow inflammation. With Halladay being shut down for a while, the team can hold up with a four-man rotation until June 6 thanks to a break in the schedule Thursday. Then they may need to dig into Triple-A Lehigh Valley, possibly calling up Dave Bush (4-3, 2.73 ERA), Tyler Cloyd (4-1, 2.15 ERA) or Scott Elarton (5-1, 2.98 ERA).

Ted Lilly, Los Angeles Dodgers

The injury bug has struck the Dodgers rotation, putting left-hander Ted Lilly on the shelf for 15 days with shoulder inflammation. Lilly was off to a strong start for Los Angeles, going 5-1 with a 3.14 ERA and earning 4.17 units.

The Dodgers brought in fellow southpaw Michael Antonin from Triple-A Albuquerque for Monday but sent him back in place of Double-A Chattanooga arm Nathan Eovaldi, who takes the mound in place of Lilly Tuesday. Eovaldi appeared in 10 games – six starts – last season, posting a 1-2 record and 3.63 ERA.

Yu Darvish, Texas Rangers

The Rangers have their fingers crossed for Darvish after the Japanese sensation left his start against the Toronto Blue Jays in the fifth inning due to a sore back Sunday. The rookie right-hander told reporters it may have been a stomach issue that caused the discomfort in his lower back, but Texas won’t be taking chances with its $108 million arm.

Already without the services of starter Neftali Feliz, who is expected to sit until at least the All-Star break with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament, the Rangers signed veteran Roy Oswalt to a one-year deal Tuesday. It's thought the 34 year old will need a couple of weeks before he's ready for big-league hitters. Meanwhile, reliever Scott Feldman has stepped into the rotation in place of Feliz, going 0-2 in three starts heading into Tuesday.

As for Darvish, he’s scheduled to start against the Angels and C.J. Wilson – the man he replaced in the rotation – this Saturday. There has been a stomach bug going around the Texas clubhouse, so the discomfort could pass before the weekend. However, if not, Texas would need to dip into the Triple-A ranks, looking to oft-injured Greg Reynolds or Neil Ramirez.
