    Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

    ESPN.com's top six fantasy baseball prospects........

    6) Jurickson Profar, SS, Texas AAA-- Rangers might use him at 2B.

    5) Nick Franklin 2B/SS, Seattle AAA-- Hitting .330 in the PCL.

    4) Anthony Rendon 3B, Washington AA-- Needs Nationals to get rid of Adam Laroche and move Zimmerman to 1B.

    3) Wil Myers, OF Tampa Bay AAA-- More is expected than .252 in AAA; he was the centerpiece of the Shields trade.

    2) Gerrit Cole, P Pittsburgh AAA-- 3-1, 2.55, 31 K's in 42.1 IP.

    1) Trevor Bauer, P, Cleveland AAA-- Has two starts with Tribe in '13.


    *****

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

    13) Some lucky human in Florida bought the winning Powerball ticket; hope it was one of your relatives. Hope the person changes his/her cellphone number as soon as they can, otherwise they'll wind up with new friends and new relatives they've never heard of. Guaranteed.

    12) Pacers took 46 foul shots, Knicks 18 in Indiana's 106-99 win that KO's New York from the playoffs. JR Smith killed the Knicks with a dreadful shooting night (4-15)- its a victory for fans who like real basketball, as opposed to "clear out and watch two guys shoot" basketball-- Heroball.

    11) Home teams are now 7-1 in second round of NHL playoffs after Red Wings upset Chicago 4-1; Sharks scored a power play goal in OT to beat the Kings 2-1. San Jose had a two-man advantage in OT, just before the winning goal was scored. The loss snaps LA's six-game winning streak.

    10) Who is the major leagues' most durable player? Try Prince Fielder, with 385 consecutive games played; in his whole career, Fielder has been the DH only 22 times. He's highly productive and dependable.

    9) Indians won 13 of their last 17 games after an 11-13 start.

    8) In the playoffs so far, Indiana Pacers are +73 when George Hill is on the floor, -37 when he is on the bench.

    7) Rays' pitcher Alex Cobb grew up in Vero Beach, FL and was often a batboy at Dodgers' spring training.

    6) UCLA basketball coach Steve Alford (still feels weird typing that) has to pay New Mexico, his last employer, $625,000 as the settlement for him to break his contract with the Lobos.

    5) OK, so Pauley Pavilion seats less than 14,000 people? For whatever reason, I always thought it was way bigger than that.

    4) Why do the Mets insist on batting Ike Davis 4th? Its bad enough he still starts, but cleanup? He's pathetic; there are rumors the Mets will look at Daric Barton as a replacement if Davis gets sent down. Oakland DFA'd Barton Saturday, when Chris Young came off the DL.

    3) Guess the weather in Toronto has been cruddy; Saturday was first time in 2013 they ran horse races on the turf course at Woodbine Park.

    2) Let me get this straight; Charlotte Bobcats were once an expansion team in the NBA- they moved to New Orleans, and changed their name to Pelicans. The new team in Charlotte is called the Bobcats because their original owner's name is Bob, but he's gone now, so they want to become the Hornets.

    Strange this is, at this late hour, it all makes sense.

    1) Why isn't Greg Popovich our Olympic basketball coach? He's won four NBA titles, he went to US Air Force Academy, he is highly respected as a leader. Seems like he deserves a chance to do it.

      Memphis was underdog in first two series, but beat Oklahoma City and Clippers, with Thunder not having Westbrook, then LA getting banged up in that series- Grizzlies won eight of their last nine games since being down 2-0 in Clipper series. Home side won all four series meetings in regular season, but intensity level is way higher here-- first two meetings this year did go OT- three of four meetings stayed under the total. Over is 7-4 in Memphis playoff games, 4-2 on road; four of Spurs' last five games stayed under. Spurs are 3-2 vs spread as playoff home favorite; Memphis covered its last ten games, half of which were on road.

      Grizzlies at Spurs: What bettors need to know
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Memphis Grizzlies at San Antonio Spurs (-4.5, 182.5)

      The San Antonio Spurs haven’t been part of the NBA Finals since 2007 when they swept the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Memphis Grizzlies have never played for the title and are in the Western Conference finals for the first time in franchise history. The two squads begin their quest for a spot in the finals in Sunday’s opening contest in San Antonio. Memphis posted a memorable 4-2 first-round series win over the Spurs in the 2011 postseason.

      The fifth-seeded Grizzlies beat the Los Angeles Clippers in six games and the Oklahoma City Thunder in five to reach the conference finals. Memphis let a lead get away to fall to Oklahoma City in the opener before rolling off four straight wins. Second-seeded San Antonio swept the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round and defeated the Golden State Warriors in six games in the conference semifinals. The Spurs lost to the Thunder in last season’s Western Conference finals. San Antonio and Memphis split four regular-season meetings this season with the home team winning each time.

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

      ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES:
      Power forward Zach Randolph had four double-doubles in the five-game series with the Thunder and is averaging 19.7 points and 9.3 rebounds in the postseason. Randolph played especially well over the final two games with Oklahoma City, averaging 25.5 points and 13 rebounds. Center Marc Gasol is averaging 18.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in the postseason and had four 20-point outings against the Thunder. Point guard Mike Conley rounds out a solid trio with playoff averages of 17.6 points and 7.6 assists. Conley has stepped up as an end-of-game shot-taker since Memphis dealt Rudy Gay to Toronto. “It has helped me out a lot, just the responsibility in itself has been big for me,” Conley said. “I’ve just tried to use this opportunity to get better and make my teammates better.”

      ABOUT THE SPURS:
      Point guard Tony Parker still hasn’t forgotten last season’s disappointing appearance in the Western Conference finals and claims to be drawing motivation from it. “We were disappointed last year being up 2-0, having home court and not being able to go to the finals,” Parker said. “It gives us a lot of fuel for this year.” Parker has scored 20 or more points in seven of 10 postseason games this season and is averaging 22.4 points. He was a woeful 3-for-16 in the finale against Golden State but scored 10 of his 13 points over the final 3:35. Parker averaged 25.5 points against the Grizzlies in the regular season. Power forward Tim Duncan is averaging 18.7 points and 9.2 rebounds in the postseason with five double-doubles.

      TRENDS:

      * Grizzlies are 5-0 ATS in their last five road games.
      * Spurs are 0-4 ATS in their last four Conference Finals games.
      * Under is 4-1 in Spurs’ last five overall.

      BUZZER BEATERS

      1. The Spurs are 33-7 – including 4-1 in the postseason – when hosting the Grizzlies.

      2. Duncan’s 143 postseason double-doubles ties with Wilt Chamberlain for second all-time and he has scored in double digits in 194 of his 200 playoff contests.

      3. Grizzlies G Tony Allen has 25 steals in the postseason, including 12 over the last four games.

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

        New York Rangers at Boston Bruins (-127, 5)

        Bruins lead best-of-seven series 1-0.

        New York Rangers coach John Tortorella did his best to divert attention away from the team's punchless power play by calling out Carl Hagelin, a player who doesn't even receive ice time in that situation. The reason for Tortorella's comments may be that he's tired of seeing his team fail to convert with the man advantage, as it has done in each of the last four games and 29 times in 31 opportunities in the postseason. The sixth-seeded Rangers will look to get it in gear and even their Eastern Conference second-round series on Sunday when they visit the fourth-seeded Boston Bruins.

        "I think he's too quick," Tortorella said of Hagelin following Saturday's practice. "I'd like to put him out on the power play, but he stinks on the power play. ... I love the guy. He is such an effective player, but he, as I said many times, stinks on the power play." New York went 0-for-3 with the man advantage in Game 1 before Brad Marchand scored his first goal of the playoffs 15:40 into overtime to give Boston a 3-2 triumph.

        TV:
        3 p.m. ET, NBC, TSN, RDS

        ABOUT THE RANGERS:
        Thursday's result spoiled a 45-save performance by reigning Vezina Trophy winner Henrik Lundqvist, who suffered his third overtime loss of the postseason and fell to 3-11 in his career. Rick Nash picked up an assist for the second consecutive contest, but is still searching for his first goal of the playoffs. The top-line forward registered a team-high six shots in Game 1.

        ABOUT THE BRUINS:
        Coach Claude Julien did his best to get creative with his defensemen in Game 1 as veterans Dennis Seidenberg (lower-body), Andrew Ference (lower-body) and Wade Redden (undisclosed) were scratched from the contest. The trio was replaced by rookies Dougie Hamilton, Matt Bartkowski and Torey Krug, who netted a power-play goal in his first postseason contest. Captain Zdeno Chara, who is also a defenseman, extended his point streak to five games by collecting a goal and an assist and logged 38:02 of ice time. Redden practiced on Saturday, but is questionable for Game 2.

        TRENDS:

        * Rangers are 1-4 in their last five road games.
        * Bruins are 5-0 in their last five Conference Semifinals games.
        * Under is 8-1-2 in the last 11 meetings in Boston.

        OVERTIME

        1. Boston C David Krejci had an assist in Game 1 and is tied with Pittsburgh C Evgeni Malkin with an NHL-leading 14 points.

        2. New York C Derick Brassard notched an assist to extend his point streak to six contests.

        3. While the Rangers have struggled mightily on the power play, the Bruins aren't much better. They are 4-for-24 with the man advantage in the postseason.



        Pittsburgh Penguins at Ottawa Senators (+115, 5.5)

        Penguins lead best-of-seven series 2-0.

        The Ottawa Senators hope the return of Jason Spezza can ignite a spark in their Eastern Conference second-round series with the top-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins. Sidelined since undergoing back surgery for a herniated disk in late January, Spezza will be in the lineup for Sunday's Game 3 at Scotiabank Place. Seventh-seeded Ottawa can certainly use the offense, as it dropped the first two contests of the series in the Steel City.

        "We're excited about the skill that he brings back to our team and we're looking forward to it," Ottawa coach Paul MacLean said. Although his minutes likely will be monitored, Spezza may be able to provide a jolt to a Senators' struggling power play (1-for-7). MacLean could also use a better effort in keeping Sidney Crosby in check as the captain recorded his second career postseason hat trick in Pittsburgh's 4-3 victory in Game 2 on Friday.

        TV:
        7:30 p.m. ET, NBC, CBC, RDS

        ABOUT THE PENGUINS:
        Crosby's high-octane night propelled him into a tie with teammate Pascal Dupuis and Chicago's Patrick Sharp for the postseason lead in goals with six. The captain also sits four postseason points shy of Kevin Stevens (106) for third place in franchise history. Mario Lemieux (172) and Jaromir Jagr (147) are atop the list. While Crosby's heroics dominated the headlines on Friday, Brenden Morrow's first postseason goal in over five years stood up as the winner in Game 3. Reigning Hart Trophy winner Evgeni Malkin is riding an eight-game point streak in the playoffs and is tied with Boston's David Krejci (14) for the league lead.

        ABOUT THE SENATORS:
        Stud defenseman Erik Karlsson admitted he's having a difficult time returning to form in the playoffs. After collecting a goal and five assists in Ottawa's first-round victory over second-seeded Montreal, Karlsson has failed to secure a point in the first two contests against Pittsburgh. "I'm not playing the way I want to," the reigning Norris Trophy winner said. "I (have to) play a little bit more poised with the puck and a little bit faster in our own zone. I can't doubt myself." The 22-year-old Karlsson, who suffered a left Achilles' tendon injury in a game versus the Penguins on Feb. 13, was beaten at the blue line on Crosby's first goal on Friday.

        TRENDS:

        * Penguins are 6-0 in their last six Sunday games.
        * Senators are 1-9 in their last 10 vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600.
        * Over is 4-1 in Penguins’ last five games following a win.
        * Penguins are 5-0 in the last five meetings.

        OVERTIME

        1. Although Ottawa G Craig Anderson allowed a pair of soft goals to earn an early exit in Game 2, MacLean announced on Saturday that he is sticking with his netminder to start Game 3.

        2. Pittsburgh G Tomas Vokoun has posted a 1.70 goals-against average and .945 save percentage en route to winning all four starts since replacing Marc-Andre Fleury.

        3. Ottawa has never won a postseason series after dropping the first two games.

          Detroit at Texas
          The Tigers look to bounce back from yesterday's 7-2 loss and take advantage of a Texas team that is 3-7 in Derek Holland's last 10 starts after allowing 2 runs or less in the previous game.

                  Sunday Night Baseball: Tigers at Rangers
                  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                  The Detroit Tigers and Texas Rangers take the spotlight this week on Sunday Night Baseball.

                  Detroit Tigers at Texas Rangers (-115, 9)

                  FISTING FOR VICTORIES


                  Doug Fister has been stellar for the Tigers, going 5-1 with a 3.06 ERA on the year. He'll face a Texas team that hit him up for nine runs over 4 1/3 innings in their only meeting last year. The righty has made four road starts this season and he's 1-1 in those games. He got shelled in Washington in the shortest start of his career giving up five runs and eight hits in three innings. Fister has benefited from seeing Houston in two of his last three starts, snagging a victory at home and a no-decision on the road.

                  HOLLAND TUNNEL IN TEXAS

                  Derek Holland is 3-2 with a 2.93 ERA this season. He has pitched well in May going 2-0 with a 2.18 ERA. The southpaw hasn't had many problems pitching at home this year, going 1-1 with a 1.57 ERA in three starts there. Holland has shown incredible control walking just three batters in his last four starts. Last year he picked up a no-decision against the Tigers after giving up one run and three hits while striking out nine in a 2-1 Rangers victory.

                  INJURY REPORT

                  The Tigers are almost completely healthy as a team. They are without Austin Jackson, who is on the disabled list with a strained right hamstring and Octavio Dotel, who is dealing with right elbow inflammation. The list is a bit longer for the Rangers. Their lineup is relatively intact as AJ Pierzynski is dealing with a strained right oblique muscle. He will return hopefully on Tuesday for their game against the Athletics. The Texas pitching staff is a different story. Matt Harrison, Alexi Ogando, Colby Lewis and Neftali Feliz are all out of the rotation while Joakim Soria has not pitched yet out of the team's bullpen. Those pitchers are expected to be back at varying times between May and August.

                  TRENDS

                  Tigers are 50-22 in their last 72 Sunday games
                  Tigers are 6-2 in Fister's last eight starts
                  Rangers are 37-18 in their last 55 Sunday games
                  Rangers are 35-16 in Holland’s last 51 home starts

                  HITTERS TO WATCH

                  Torii Hunter 10-for-34 vs. Holland
                  Miguel Cabrera 0-for-5 vs. Holland
                  Elvis Andrus 4-for-22 vs. Fister
                  Nelson Cruz 7-for-16 vs. Fister
