Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

-- Longest current hitting streak in big leagues? Marco Scutaro, at 18.

-- Dodgers are 14-8 if Kershaw/Greinke/Ryu start, 4-17 otherwise.

-- Oakland's Jed Lowrie has eight games with 3+ hits, most in the AL.

-- Red Wings beat Chicago in Game 3, now lead favored Blackhawks 2-1.

-- Patrick Corbin is 7-0, 1.44 for the Diamondbacks; who knew?

-- Our thoughts and prayers to people in Oklahoma; twisters are a scary thing. Just very sad.


*****

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but..........

13) Miguel Cabrera is a tremendous hitter; he’s on pace to knock in 181 runs (the all-time record is Hack Wilson’s 190, baseball’s most underrated milestone). He’s not exactly Brooks Robinson at 3B, but boy can he swing the bat.

12) Before Clayton Kershaw's complete game win Monday night, Dodger starting pitchers had been 0-3, 3.68 in their previous 13 road games; you’d think with that good an RA, they’d win a game or two, but the LA bullpen is 5-13 so far this year. $230 million doesn’t buy as much as it used to.

11) While we’re on this subject, if I own the Dodgers and I’m shelling out $230M for a ballclub, I want a top-flight manager, not Don Mattingly, who may or may not turn out to be good, but he is in no way experienced enough to be a top-flight skipper. His body of work so far says very average, not more, not less.

10) If I’m the Orioles and I have a big home series with the Bronx Bombers starting last night, an eyebrow gets raised when Toronto-Bronx game got rained out fairly early Sunday afternoon, which freed up CC Sabathia to pitch the opener of the Baltimore series.

Ballclubs have say-so on whether a game is started or not; once it starts, then its in the umpires’ hands. Big benefit to a banged-up Bronx team to delay games until later in the season, when more of their highly paid (currently injured) stars will be back in the lineup.

9) If you bet college football with 5Dimes, Alabama is -23.5 over Virginia Tech in the season opener; if you play with BetOnline, the Crimson Tide is -16. Pretty sizeable 7.5-point middle right there.

8) Indiana Pacers are first NBA team since ’94 Utah Jazz to make it to the conference finals with no players who were top 5 picks in NBA Draft.

7) All four teams still alive in the NBA playoffs finished in the top five in team defense. The Knicks were #17. Draw your own conclusions.

6) None of NBA’s Final Four was in the NBA before 1976; Spurs/Pacers are old ABA teams, Heat and Grizzlies were expansion teams. Spurs were originally known as the Dallas Chapparals.

5) Why do the Spurs-Grizzlies play two games before Heat-Pacers play one? TV dictates all this, so TV people must think Miami will make short work of the Pacers.

4) Giants' P Ryan Vogelsong broke finger on pitching hand Monday night and is out 6+ weeks; this was his first good start this season, too.

3) Guard Malik Smith, who scored 14.1 ppg under Richard Pitino at FIU LY, is following his coach to Minnesota and can play this coming season, since FIU is banned from the postseason because of poor academic performance under former coach Isiah Thomas. Bet the folks at ol’ FIU just love that one.

2) Sounds like the NFL Draft might get pushed back into mid-May starting next year. I have absolutely no opinion on this; whenever it is, I’ll watch it.

1) Under Florida law, if the person who won the $590M Powerball jackpot wanted to remain anonymous, he/she could not, since if someone asks, the law says the winner’s name must be disclosed, undoubtedly to lessen the chances of chicanery.

I’m developing a list of things I would do if I hit the lottery; when its finished, you’ll be the first to know.

See spot. See spot bet: This week's best spot bet opportunities

Spot bets are a classic handicapping practice that have proven profitable no matter what sport you’re betting. Whether it’s a team looking past this week’s opponent, one coming off a hard-fought victory, or a rough patch of schedule, bettors can find value picking their spots.

Lookahead spot

One of the big questions heading into the NCAAF season is if Notre Dame can maintain its spot among the nation’s elite – a question that will likely be answered in Week 2 when the Irish visit Michigan for a night game at the Big House. This rivalry recently had some fuel thrown on the fire when Wolverines head coach Brady Hoke claimed Notre Dame was “chickening out” of the series with UM after cancelling the 2015-17 games.

Before the Irish try to make Hoke eat his words, Notre Dame will stretch its legs as a 28-point favorite hosting Temple in Week 1 of the season. Not only will the Fighting Irish be slugging through a hangover from their BCS beating last January, but the Golden Domers will be tweaking the playbook and experimenting against the Owls before the Week 2’s showdown in Ann Arbor. Twenty-eight points seems too much for a team playing by trial and error.

Letdown spot

Being as good as the Miami Heat are is a double-edged sword. Sure, the Heat have rolled through postseason competition, sweeping the Bucks and beating the Bulls in five games. But all that down time can leave the team rusty, like it did in a Game 1 upset to Chicago in the second round.

Miami has had its feet up since eliminating the Bulls on May 15 and won’t take the court for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Indiana Pacers until Wednesday – seven full days between outings. Indiana, on the other hand, will still be playoff sharp having knocked off the Knicks Saturday. Books are giving the Pacers 7.5-points in South Beach in Game 1.

Schedule spot

The St. Louis Cardinals have succeeded in just about every category and situation this season, jumping to the top of the National League Central. They’re a stellar 14-8 at home and 14-7 on the road and rank among the Top 10 in many batting and pitching statistics. The only spot the Cardinals haven’t truly excelled in is versus NL West opponents. St. Louis is 23-11 versus the East and Central but only 5-4 versus the NL West.

The Cards are currently in San Diego for a trio of games with the Padres, who split a four-game series with the Nationals and took two in a row in an interleague set with the Orioles. St. Louis then heads to Los Angeles to play the Dodgers, who own a 5-1 mark versus NL Central foes this season. Last season, the Cardinals were swept 0-3 in both trips to San Diego and Los Angeles.

Armadillo's Write-Up

Tuesday, May 21

Zach Randolph averages over 17 ppg in his 12-year career, but Game 1, Spurs held him to two points (1-8 FG) in 28 minutes (-28), so Grizzlies have lot of room to improve there. Memphis covered ten of their last 11 games, winning eight of last ten; they're 5-1 vs spread in last six games on road. Home team won last five series games, with Grizzlies losing last three here by 4-21-22 points. Over is 8-4 in Grizzlies' playoff games, 5-2 on road. Spurs are 4-2 vs spread as playoff home favorite. No Grizzly starter took a 3-pointer in Game 1 (Pondexter 5-9, others 0-3).

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

Memphis Grizzlies at San Antonio Spurs (-5, 181.5)

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

The Memphis Grizzlies dug themselves a hole in each of their first two playoff series. And the San Antonio Spurs haven’t forgotten what happened in last season’s Western Conference finals. Memphis attempts to even the series in Tuesday’s Game 2 against the host Spurs after being blown out 105-83 in the opener. San Antonio set a franchise postseason record with 14 3-pointers and Grizzlies star Zach Randolph was a nonfactor with two points.

The Spurs had a 2-0 lead in the West finals a year ago before Oklahoma City won the next four games. That bad taste still resonates with the San Antonio veterans. “I can promise you this: Nobody’s happy in our locker room because we were up 2-0 last year and we lost,” Spurs point guard Tony Parker said. “It’s just one game. It means nothing. We still have a long way to go.” Memphis was down 0-2 against the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round and lost the opener against the Thunder so this isn’t new territory for the franchise. “We were soft,” Randolph said of the Game 1 showing. “We didn’t play our game. We didn’t play grit and grind basketball.”

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN

ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES: Randolph played so poorly that he apologized to his teammates. He was 1-of-8 shooting with his lone basket coming on a putback with 9:26 left in the game. “I have to come out and give them something,” Randolph told reporters on Monday. “I’ve been hard on myself. I couldn’t sleep (Sunday) night.” San Antonio placed a heavy emphasis on stopping Randolph and routinely collapsed multiple defenders on him and also fronted him so he couldn’t receive the ball in areas in which he could operate. Randolph had four double-doubles in the five games against Oklahoma City and Memphis has no shot at beating the Spurs if the two-time All-Star can’t get his game going.

ABOUT THE SPURS: A huge factor in the Game 1 win was the outstanding long-range shooting. The Spurs were 14-for-29 from 3-point range with forwards Matt Bonner and Kawhi Leonard making four apiece and Danny Green hitting three. “It’s highly improbable we’re going to shoot at the clip we did last game,” Bonner told reporters on Monday. “They’ve got the best defense in the league. They’re going to come out and make adjustments and play better on defense for sure.” Point guard Tony Parker had 20 points and nine assists in the opener and has eight 20-point outings this postseason.

TRENDS:

* Grizzlies are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following an ATS loss.
* Spurs are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall.
* Over is 7-1 in Grizzlies’ last eight Tuesday games.
* Over is 4-0 in Spurs’ last four Conference Finals games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. San Antonio has held opponents under 90 points in five of its 11 postseason games.

2. Grizzlies reserve Quincy Pondexter scored 17 points in Game 1 and made all five of Memphis’ 3-pointers.

3. Spurs PF Tim Duncan had just six points in Game 1, marking the seventh time in 201 career postseason games that he failed to score in double digits.

Armadillo's Write-Up

Tuesday, May 21

Bruins outshot New York 16-5 in OT to win Game 1 on home ice, then dominated Game 2, winning 5-2, despite Rangers having four more power plays (0-5) than the Bruins (0-1) did. Boston lost 12 of last 14 visits to Manhattan (2-3 in last five); they had lost seven of nine to New York before this series started. Rangers won their last nine home games, with all three home playoff wins by a single goal- their last home loss was to Washington back on March 24. Bruins scored 3+ goals in all six of its playoff wins this spring, 1-1-2 in its three losses. Under is 10-5-3 in last eighteen series games.

Home teams are 10-1 in this round of Stanley Cup playoffs; home teams won 12 of last 13 King-Shark games, with LA losing last six games here. LA allowed a total of 11 goals in winning six of last seven games, streak that started after they fell behind 2-0 in St Louis series. Under is 8-2-2 in LA's last dozen games; defending champs are 4-3 vs San Jose this year, with home side winning all seven games. There were 67 penalty minutes in Game 3, after Games 1-2 had total of only 28; Sharks were 2-5 on power play last game, after LA was 3-6 on power play in Game 2. Kings got called for two penalties in last minute of regulation in Game 3, lost on power play goal in OT, then goalie Quick got misconduct on his way off ice after game; needless to say, that doesn't happen a whole lot.

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

Boston Bruins at New York Rangers (-135, 5)

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

The New York Rangers are no strangers to losing the first two games of a series. After all, one needs only to remember their Eastern Conference first-round set versus Washington. The Rangers held serve at home in that series - and will look to do the same against the fourth-seeded Boston Bruins on Tuesday when the Original Six rivals meet for Game 3 at Madison Square Garden. After dropping a 3-2 overtime decision in Game 1, the sixth-seeded Rangers allowed three unanswered goals in a 5-2 setback on Sunday.

"You don't want to be down 2-0," New York coach John Tortorella said on Monday. "We know what hole we're in, but by no means is this a really bad thing. We need to win a game and try to get momentum on our side." Boston can also reflect on its first-round series to see what can happen if it pulls its foot off the throttle. The Bruins led Northeast Division-rival Toronto 3-1 in its series before escaping with a historic victory in Game 7.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, NBC Sports, TSN, RDS

ABOUT THE BRUINS: Torey Krug is proving that the spotlight isn't too big as he navigates his way through his initial postseason. The 22-year-old defenseman scored his second goal of the series and added an assist on Sunday - with both points coming off fortunate bounces of the puck. "All that comes with confidence and being calm," Krug said of both goals. "If you're freaking out out there because the puck's not exactly where it is, you're going to get yourself in trouble."

ABOUT THE RANGERS: If Tortorella is searching for positives, well, Rick Nash finally scored his first goal of the postseason on Sunday. Nash, however, downplayed his accomplishment and shed light on the elephant in the room. "That's the obvious one. The power play has to be better," Nash said of the New York's 0-for-8 effort with the man advantage in the series and 2-for-36 mark in the playoffs. "We have to create more opportunities off it, more momentum."

TRENDS:

* Bruins are 6-0 in their last six Conference Semifinals games.
* Home team is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* Over is 3-0-1 in the last four meetings.

OVERTIME

1. New York G Henrik Lundqvist didn't use his ailing left shoulder as an excuse for his Game 2 performance. "It's under control," the reigning Vezina Trophy winner said.

2. Boston Ds Dennis Seidenberg (lower-body) and Wade Redden (undisclosed) practiced on Monday and will be game-day decisions, according to coach Claude Julien.

3. New York D Dan Girardi was on the ice for all five of Boston's goals in Game 2.



Los Angeles Kings at San Jose Sharks (-129, 4.5)

Kings lead best-of-seven series 2-1.

While they avoided facing the most difficult deficit against which to come back with an overtime victory on Saturday, the sixth-seeded San Jose Sharks still are in a virtually must-win situation when they host the fifth-seeded Los Angeles Kings in Game 4 of their Western Conference second-round series on Tuesday. San Jose was in danger of going down 0-3 to the reigning Stanley Cup champions as the teams ended regulation knotted at 1-1. But the Sharks began overtime with a 5-on-3 power play and cashed in 11 seconds after the first Kings penalty expired as Logan Couture scored at 1:29 to send the HP Pavilion faithful into a frenzy.

Los Angeles was in the same position San Jose found itself entering Game 3 as it lost the first two games of its first-round series at St. Louis before rallying to win four straight. The Sharks are optimistic they can continue along that path as their power play began clicking on Saturday. After going 7-for-24 in its first-round sweep of Vancouver, San Jose was 0-for-7 over the first two contests against Los Angeles before scoring twice on five opportunities in Game 3.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, NBCSN, TSN, RDS

ABOUT THE KINGS: Kyle Clifford may rejoin the lineup Tuesday after missing four games with an undisclosed injury. The left wing failed to register a point in Los Angeles' first five contests this postseason. Left wing Tanner Pearson, who made his NHL debut in Game 3, likely will sit out should Clifford return. Captain Dustin Brown was named as a finalist for the Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award on Monday. Brown, who was runner-up for the honor last year, joins fellow captains Jonathan Toews of Chicago and Daniel Alfredsson of Ottawa as finalists. "It's not something you go out and look for," Brown said. "To be among Toews and Alfredsson in that group was special." Jonathan Quick received a game misconduct for verbally abusing the officials after Couture's overtime goal on Saturday, but the goaltender avoided any further discipline from the league. Coach Darryl Sutter told the Los Angeles Times he believes Quick needs to learn to control his temper. "I think he's got to handle that," Sutter said. "He can't be frustrated. That's a by-product of being a great goaltender."

ABOUT THE SHARKS: Martin Havlat's return to San Jose's lineup was short-lived as the veteran right wing has been ruled out for Game 4. Havlat saw less than five minutes of ice time Saturday in his first appearance since the opener of the Sharks' first-round series against Vancouver before exiting with a lower-body injury. It's not known whether it's the same problem that caused Havlat to miss the team's previous five contests. Defenseman Jason Demers could replace Havlat in the lineup, as he skated with the forwards during Monday's practice. Demers has not played since April 18 due to a left ankle injury and is hoping to get back in the lineup. "I feel good. It's just a question of getting back into game shape," he said. "As soon as you do a couple of shifts, especially in this kind of series, you'll be in shape real quick. I'm just helping out wherever I can and going where they tell me to go." If not Demers, coach Todd McLellan is likely to insert Tim Kennedy into the lineup for Havlat.

TRENDS:

* Kings are 1-9 in their last 10 road games.
* Under is 5-0-2 in Kings’ last seven road games.
* Home team is 12-1 in the last 13 meetings.
* Over is 5-1-2 in Sharks’ last eight home games.

OVERTIME

1. Four of San Jose's five playoff victories over Los Angeles have come in overtime.

2. The Kings are 1-3 on the road this postseason, while the Sharks are 3-0 at home.

3. San Jose LW Patrick Marleau leads the team with five goals and has collected eight points in seven playoff games.
