Thursday’s betting tips: Bosh ready for more minutes in Game 6

Weather to watch

Texas Rangers at Oakland Athletics – 13 mph winds are expected to blow out to right-centerfield.

Who’s hot

NBA: Celtics are 16-5-2 ATS in their last 23 games as a home underdog.

MLB: White Sox were 14-3 in their last 17 overall heading into Wednesday's action.

MLB: Cardinals are 9-3 in Lance Lynn's last 12 starts.

Who’s not

MLB: Indians are 0-7 in their last seven games with umpire Gerry Davis behind home plate.

MLB: The Cubs are 0-5 in Matt Garza's last five starts.

NBA: Heat are 1-10 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Boston

Key stat

2- The Boston Celtics have lost just two series in franchise history after taking a 3-2 lead (36-2).

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Paul Konerko, Chicago White Sox – Konerko sat out his second straight game Wednesday after having a loose fragment flushed from his left wrist. He had the same procedure last season and the team hoped he would be able to play Wednesday, he but obviously needs more time. Konerko is hitting .366 with 11 homers and 33 RBI.

Game of the day

Miami Heat at Boston Celtics (+1.5, 179.5)

Notable quotable

"It's probably like a boxer. You just got to go back to your corner right now. We all just have to huddle up and lean on each other. We're the only people we can depend on right now. That can be a very powerful thing." – Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra after his club dropped a 94-90 decision at home to the Boston Celtics as a 7.5-point favorite in Game 5.

Notes and tips

The Miami Heat don’t know if Chris Bosh will start Game 6 in Boston, but they do plan to use him more than in Game 5. Bosh came off the bench Tuesday and chipped in nine points and seven rebounds in a little more than 14 minutes of work. Bosh missed nine playoff games with an abdominal strain and the Heat went 4-5 against the spread without him.

The Toronto Blue Jays' revamped lineup looked good Tuesday in a 9-5 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Brett Lawrie, batting leadoff for the first time as a professional, had three hits and scored three runs. Colby Rasmus, batting second for the fifth time, had a career-best five hits, including a two-run homer, and finished with four runs and three RBI. Rasmus is batting .500 (12-for-24) with four homers and nine RBI as the No. 2 hitter. Not surprisingly, the Blue Jays went back to the well with the same lineup Wednesday.

The Cleveland Indians activated Johnny Damon Wednesday from the Paternity List and optioned Luke Carlin to Triple-A Columbus. Damon, 38, is currently hitting .180 (16-89) with nine runs scored, one home run and five RBI in 25 games for Cleveland since being added to the roster May 1. He last appeared in a game Saturday against Minnesota and is 5-for-17 (.294) over his last five games.

Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

-- Texas-Oakland game was played in 2:04; there were 101 pitches taken in game, with 52 called strikes, 49 balls. First game in major leagues this season with more called strikes than balls.

-- Josh Beckett lost a tough 2-1 game to Baltimore, then refused to talk to the media afterwards; that should go over well in Boston.

-- Mets are five games over .500, despite allowing ten more runs than they have scored. Phillies are 28-30, but are +4 in runs scored/allowed.

-- Devils won Game 4 in Staples Center, delayed the Kings' celebration by at least three days, and sent the Stanley Cup 3,000 miles east for Game 5. Still one more game to win for LA, three more for New Jersey.

-- Spurs lost four straight after winning 20 games in a row, one of the most unusual streaks in sports history. Sad end to a terrific season. Still admire how they go about their business.

-- As happy as you are for the Thunder and their fans, you feel for people in Seattle, a city robbed of its Sonics, who were these Thunder before David Stern and his band of weasels stole the team from Seattle. Too bad.

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

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind........

13) At the beginning of the Miami-Boston series, you had to risk $1,475 to win $100 if you bet on the Heat; right now, if you bet $100 on the Heat, you’d get $120 if they can win Games 6-7.

12) Ohio Bobcats play four football games this November; on a Thursday-Wednesday-Wednesday-Friday; is their campus closed on Saturdays?

Does TV exposure help recruiting that much, even though there aren’t many fans at the games? Maybe it does, I don’t know. Maybe it helps alumni donations to have games on ESPN, even on a Tuesday night. Wish someone would investigate and let me know.

11) Jets’ coach Rex Ryan has lost 90 pounds in the last year after having weight-loss surgery, 40 of it since last season ended. Good for him.

10) Syracuse’s basketball team is actually leaving NY State twice in November this fall, once to play San Diego State in the aircraft carrier game, the other to visit Arkansas in the SEC-Big East Challenge. Wow.

9) Gio Gonzalez is doing great for Washington, but one of the pitchers the Nationals sent to Oakland, Tommy Milone, is also doing well; he has a 2.18 RA in his last three starts, even though the light-hitting A’s scored only one run in losing all three of those games. Brad Peacock and AJ Cole are both struggling in the minors this season; Oakland needs Peacock to be good, and fairly soon.

8) AL East-- Last place Red Sox are 28-28, only four games out. Baltimore is in first place. Go figure.
NL East-- Injury-riddled Phillies are 28-30, still only six games out. Seeing as Nationals are in first, Phils have to be optimistic, if they can get healthy.

7) Seattle Seahawks violated no-contact rules in their off-season workouts, so they couldn’t have any practices Wednesday-Thursday this week. Still think Pete Carroll is stealing Seattle owner Paul Allen’s money; only reason he left USC was to get out before the NCAA got there. Rules violations seem to follow him around.

6) If New Jersey is hosting a Super Bowl, why can’t Chicago-Boston-Philly-Washington? Denver? Kansas City? Seattle?

5) Kansas City Royals have played ten road series, and only lost two of them (6-2-2). Who knew?

4) How about the job Clint Hurdle is doing with the Pirates? Buccos are tied for second in NL Central, three games behind the Reds, only 2.5 games out of the Wild Card slots. They're 28-27 with pretty goood pitching.

3) New Jersey Devils are 26th NHL team to be down 3-0 in Stanley Cup Finals; of the previous 25 teams, only the ’42 Maple Leafs rallied to win the last four games.

2) Kid named Tyler Self averaged only 3.9 ppg in high school LY, but he's going to be on the Kansas Jayhawks for the next four years. How do I know this? Tyler's dad is Bill Self, the Kansas coach. Tyler is a 6-2 walk-on guard who will practice hard and get to spend a lot of time with his dad, and that is pretty cool in itself.

1) Phil Mickelson needs to toughen up; he texted Tim Finchem, PGA Tour commissioner, from the 6th fairway at Muirfield last week, whining because people were taking cellphone pics of him while he was playing. Then he withdrew after the first round, after shooting 79. Too freakin’ bad.

Mickelson likes to present himself as a man of the people, but he does commercials for Exxon-Mobil, the biggest scumbags/thieves in America, and now he whines because he can’t hit a ball that’s standing still because some old lady is Ohio is taking his picture with her cellphone.

Baseball players have to hit pitches thrown 95 mph, with 40,000 fans screaming at them. Get some earplugs and hit the ball.

Public opinion: Game 6 bettors leaning toward over

Odds and consensus current as of 8 p.m. ET, Wednesday.

NBA:

Miami Heat at Boston Celtics (+1.5, 179.5)

The Miami Heat had their chance to take control of the Eastern Conference finals but couldn’t get it done at home in Game 5. Now they have to take care of business in Boston to avoid elimination. The numbers aren’t in Heat bettors’ favor. Miami is 1-10 against the spread in its last 11 trips to Boston. With the over cashing in each of the last four meetings between the two teams, that’s where most bettors are looking.

Consensus: Over, 63 percent

MLB:

St. Louis Cardinals at Houston Astros (-155, 8.5)

The St. Louis Cardinals haven’t hit their stride yet and had won just once in seven games heading into Wednesday’s date with Houston. Still, starter Lance Lynn has been solid all year and St. Louis is producing 5.07 runs per game (fourth in the bigs).

Consensus: Cardinals, 67 percent

Heat @ Celtics (3-2)-- Miami has to win here (they're 0-4 in this arena this season) or else its another playoff failure. Home teams are now 9-2 in this round, after the Thunder won last night; tremendous pressure on the Heat here, to win as expected, but Boston PG Rondo has kicked the Miami guards' butts, with 84 points, 48 assists last four games. James/ Wade were 21-47 from floor last game, rest of team 11-35. James has taken total of 21 foul shots in last three games, after taking 24 in Game 2 alone. Over is now 8-3 in 11 Celtic playoff wins; under is 4-2-1 in their losses, so containing Rondo is job #1. And #2. And #3.

Heat at Celtics Game 6: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miami Heat at Boston Celtics (+1.5, 179.5)

THE STORY: The Boston Celtics are one victory away from being a surprise entrant in the NBA Finals The Miami Heat are one loss away from being stamped huge underachievers. Boston has won three consecutive games to take a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference finals as its veteran group seemingly finds an extra competitive gear when needed. Miami has lost 15 of its last 16 games in Boston and is hopeful of forcing a Game 7 on Saturday.

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

ABOUT THE HEAT: Forward LeBron James is averaging 31.8 points and 10 rebounds in the series but the pressure is on with Game 6 being do or die. The three-time MVP has a reputation of wilting in these situations, meaning the contest presents a big opportunity for him to deliver a statement-type performance. Forward Chris Bosh returned from a lower abdominal strain to play 14-plus minutes in Miami’s Game 5 loss and is expected to play a bigger role in Game 6. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra called for his team to avoid listening to outsiders leading into the pivotal game. “This is what the playoffs are all about,” Spoelstra said. “It tests your collective character and your resolve. And this is the journey that we have to be on right now for whatever reason.”

ABOUT THE CELTICS: The veteran trio of post player Kevin Garnett, forward Paul Pierce and guard Ray Allen were said to be on their last stand entering the series and are on the verge of making it highly memorable if it indeed turns out that way. Garnett had 26 points and 11 rebounds in Game 5 for his fourth double-double of the series and Pierce made a clutch late-game 3-pointer to highlight a 19-point performance. Allen is persevering while dealing with an ankle injury that hinders his shooting. “You have to leave it to fate – whatever is going to happen will happen,” Allen said of the future. “Right now is what you have to be concerned with. We’ll look back over these years at all the opportunities we had, all the great games we played and the big shots that we made. We’ll talk about the tough games. Right now, we are in the present moment and that’s the most important.”

TRENDS:

- Heat are 1-10 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Boston.
- Heat are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games.
- Over is 4-0 in Celtics' last four overall.
- Celtics are 16-5-2 ATS in their last 23 games as a home underdog.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Heat guard Dwyane Wade scored a series-high 27 points and has four 20-point outings in the series despite shaky first-half play.

2. Boston point guard Rajon Rondo had just seven points on 3-of-15 shooting in Game 5 but recorded 13 assists to break Bob Cousy’s franchise record for career playoff double-digit assists performances with his 39th such game.

3. Miami forward Udonis Haslem has averaged 15.5 rebounds over the past two games and has three double-digit rebound games in the series.

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

Streaking

R.A. Dickey, New York Mets (8-1, 2.69 ERA)

The Mets have won each of Dickey’s last six starts and he has been next to unhittable over the last three, allowing only one run. He fired a complete-game shutout in his last turn in the rotation giving up seven hits while striking out nine and walking none. He now has 70 strikeouts in 73 2/3 innings and with his knuckler dancing, has walked only 17 this season.

Mike Leake, Cincinnati Reds (2-5, 4.95 ERA)

It wasn’t long ago Leake was a frequent resident of the Slumping section, but he’s turning it around. The Reds lost five of his first six starts before rebounding to win each of his last four trips to the mound. He’s allowed only six runs over that span while striking out 22 and serving up just a single home run.

Slumping

Henderson Alvarez, Toronto Blue Jays (3-5, 3.75 ERA)

Since a solid stretch from the end of April to the middle of May, hitters have been all over Alvarez. He has allowed at least eight hits in four consecutive outings and has yielded 14 earned runs and four home runs over his three most recent trips to the hill. Even though his strikeout numbers are down this year, he still has that heavy 95 mph sinker and is among the league leaders in ground-ball outs.

Mike Minor, Atlanta Braves (2-4, 6.98 ERA)

Minor’s last turn in the rotation was skipped thanks to a rainout last week and the club hopes the time off served him well. He has allowed at least four runs in his last six outings and served up 12 homers during that span. The lefty hasn’t won a start since April 19.
