Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

This is how strange the NBA has become.........

-- Since 2010, 25 of 30 NBA teams have changed coaches.

-- Since 2010, Charlotte has had four coaches, Detroit three.

-- For some reason, Cleveland Cavaliers re-hired Mike Brown, who couldn't win them a title when he had Lebron James, and couldn't win in LA when he had Kobe Bryant. Brown should hug his agent daily.

-- The Clippers, Denver and Memphis all went 56-26 or better this season, but all three will have new coaches next season. None of the three deposed coaches left voluntarily.

-- Jason Kidd was named coach of the Nets less than two weeks after he retired as a player. TWO WEEKS!!!!!

-- Doc Rivers has three years, $21M left on his contract, but Boston and the Clippers are talking about a huge trade, where Rivers would wind up coaching Garnett and Pierce in the Staples Center. Go figure.


*****

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

13) You watch these Stanley Cup playoff games, you admire the great effort these players give, and you see how fine a line the difference between winning and losing is. The first two games lasted the length of three, with all the OTs; it is just great entertainment.

12) Last night's Bruin win was the 26th OT game of these playoffs.

11) Indiana pitcher Joey DeNato threw a 136-pitch complete game as Indiana blanked Louisville 2-0 in the College World Series; kid is undrafted as a junior, so he may not be a pro prospect-- is 136 pitches abusive? As I sit here and type this, I'd say no, if the kid isn't a pro prospect.

10) For the recvord, the most pitches thrown in a major league game so far this season is 132, by Clayton Kershaw.

9) Pretty cool of Indiana hoop coach Tom Crean to go to Omaha for the College World Series; according to Mapquest, its 650 miles from Omaha to Bloomington, so not an easy road trip.

8) ESPN's Orel Hershiser, who is very good on TV, said baseball teams in the Big Dozen are getting better because schools have become more liberal about letting coaches pull (partial) scholarships from failed players who don't play up to expectations. Well, alrighty then....

7) In their last 14 home games, Pirates have won three 1-0 games.

6) Trouble for the Bronx Bombers, with Mark Teixeira headed back to NYC to see a doctor about his injured wrist. He didn't even wait until after the road trip ends Sunday; he's flying back before the game.

5) Jeremy Guthrie allowed five runs in seven IP in a 5-3 loss at Tampa Bay Saturday; he faced 31 batters, who swung at 41 of his 114 pitches, and didn't miss any of them. Thats not good for Mr Guthrie's fantasy owners.

4) Speaking of fantasy baseball, I'm in a 16-team keeper league, with 25-man rosters where you can draft minor leaguers. I'm typing this at 4am, and while I've been typing, a guy in our league just picked up a third baseman from the Class A South Atlantic League. At 3:40am. Pretty fun league.

3) Cal Bears must have a damn good golf team; three of their kids made it to the US Open, and two of the three made the cut.

2) Last time the Stanley Cup finals were 1-1 after two games was 2004, when Calgary-Tampa Bay were being ignored by most of America; coach of the champion Lightning that year? John Tortorella, just canned by the New York Rangers-- he's a pretty darn good coach.

1) If you're over 50 like me, you remember cigarette commercials on TV; now it is electronic cigarettes they're peddling, and the commercials are all over TV. Commercials for tobacco cigarettes were outlawed decades ago. It is still odd to be in Las Vegas and see people smoking in casinos, since here in New York, smoking indoors in public places isn't allowed.

NASCAR betting: Quicken Loans 400 preview

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads north to the Irish Hills and the Michigan International Speedway for the Quicken Loans 400 Sunday.

Michigan is one of the fastest racetracks on the circuit and the wide corners allow for passing.

Here’s our betting preview:

Favorite: Jimmie Johnson (+400). . . 521 points

Johnson, who leads all drivers with 521 points, dominated last week’s race at Pocono and picked up his third win of the season. Johnson has four top-fives and nine top-10s in 22 career starts at MIS.

Live dog: Clint Bowyer (+2500)

Bowyer has the highest driver’s rating for the last four races at Michigan. He finished in seventh place in both races at MIS last year and finished in eighth place in the pair of races in 2011.

Long shot: Ryan Newman (+4000)

Newman posted his second top-five finish of the season last week in Pocono. He has two wins, five top-fives and seven top-10s in 22 starts at MIS.

Key stat: Roush Fenway Racing has 12 Sprint Cup Series wins at Michigan, the most of any team.

Notable quotable:

“Regardless of new pavement or not, it’s wide-open racing, and you can run from top to bottom. The biggest thing used to be to find grip there. But with the new surface, there is a ton of grip now. Before, you had grip for maybe five laps, and then you’d just be out to lunch. But now the tire wear is all out the window, and the racetrack is very fast. And the wide racetrack is good. That’s what makes Michigan so exciting and so fun. That’s the biggest deal about it.” Kyle Bush on MIS.

Odds to win the Quicken Loans 400 courtesy of JustBet:

Jimmie Johnson 4-1
Matt Kenseth 7-1
Kasey Kahne 7-1
Dale Earnhardt Jr. 8-1

Armadillo's Write-Up

Sunday, June 16

Heat's spread results in last ten games are LWLWLWLWLW; Miami is now 0-7 vs spread in game following last seven wins. Heat is 4-23 in franchise history at this site, but 2-1 this season. James has still taken only ten foul shots in first four series games, but if Wade goes for 32 again, and Heat scored 60 points in a half, this series won't go seven. Five of last seven Miami games stayed under total; seven of Spurs' last eight home games went over. Spurs are 7-2 at home in playoffs; this is a much bigger game for Spurs, their last home game of the season. If Heat loses this game, all they need to do is hold serve at home for title.

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

Miami Heat at San Antonio Spurs (1.5, 188)

Best-of-seven series tied 2-2.

There has been only one dramatic contest in the NBA Finals, which is now a best-of-3 series when the San Antonio Spurs host the Miami Heat in Sunday’s Game 5. The Spurs won a close game in the opener and put a 36-point drubbing on the Heat in Game 3, while Miami’s two victories have been by 19 and 16 points. Tony Parker’s hamstring is an issue for the Spurs, while the Heat crave another big effort from Dwyane Wade.

Wade rediscovered his form with a spectacular performance (32 points, six steals) in Game 4 that was easily his best of a postseason in which he has been severely hampered by a knee injury. “He’s willing to go out there and compete for his teammates and open himself up for criticism with expectations of something bigger,” Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. “He’s giving us everything he has, and (Thursday) he was able to dig deeper and go to another place that we needed.” Parker has a strained right hamstring and revealed Saturday that it could tear at any time and that he would be sidelined for about 10 days if it were the regular season. Parker is hopeful that the two full days off between games will allow him to play better on Sunday after he gave a substandard performance in Game 4.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ABC

ABOUT THE HEAT: Forward LeBron James had his best outing of the series with 33 points in Game 4 but his performance was just the third-most crucial behind those of Wade and center Chris Bosh. After a largely ineffective postseason, Bosh suddenly has three consecutive double-doubles and his 20 points matched his high of the postseason. He grabbed 13 rebounds and is averaging 14.3 points and 9.5 rebounds in the finals. “I don’t know really what the difference has been with Chris,” Spoelstra said. “All we know is we need it.” James was 15-of-25 from the field in Game 4 after going a combined 21-for-54 over the first three games.

ABOUT THE SPURS: Veteran guard Manu Ginobili is struggling through a woeful series. The 35-year-old Ginobili has scored seven or fewer points in each of the last three games and is averaging 7.5 points and shooting 34.5 percent from the field. “He’s having a tough playoffs, and hasn’t really found a rhythm or found his game yet,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. “I think that he’s obviously not as confident as usual, and he knows full well he hasn’t performed the way he would like and the way he’s used to.” Power forward Tim Duncan is doing his part with two 20-point scoring games and three double-digit performances and guard Danny Green is 19-for-28 from 3-point range while averaging 16.5 points.

TRENDS:

* Heat are 0-7 ATS in their last seven games following a win.
* Spurs are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a loss.
* Over is 4-1 in Heat’s last five road games.
* Over is 5-0 in Spurs’ last five home games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The NBA Finals has been tied at 2-2 on 27 previous occasions with the Game 5 winner claiming the title 20 times.

2. After matching the NBA Finals record with four turnovers in Game 1, San Antonio has committed 49 over the last three games.

3. Bosh was fined $5,000 for flopping in Game 4 after being lightly bumped by Duncan.

Under trending in MLB Father's Day games
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As we look forward to celebrating Father's Day this Sunday, we take a look at the over/under results during the past seven seasons in the MLB schedule on the day we celebrate dear old dad.

Over the past few seasons, Father's Day is a day on the calendar where we are used to a full slate of interleague games. This season, with the new IL format, the Washington Nationals at the Cleveland Indians is the only IL matchup on the board.

In total, there have been 105 games played on Father's Day. The over/under record is 49-54-2 in those games.

Since 2009, however, the trend is leaning toward the under. In that time, the under is 38-22 in the 60 Father's Day games.

Last year, the under went 11-4.

Here is a look at the O/U break down on Father's Day since 2006:

June 18, 2006: 8-7 O/U
June 17, 2007: 12-3 O/U
June 15, 2008: 7-6-2 O/U
June 21, 2009: 5-10 O/U
June 20, 2010: 5-10 O/U
June 19, 2011: 8-7 O/U
June 17, 2012: 4-11 O/U

Sunday Night Baseball: Giants at Braves
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

San Francisco Giants at Atlanta Braves (-147, 8)

TIP TOP TIM NO MORE

Tim Lincecum is far from his ace days as he takes the mound on Sunday night. The righty is just 4-6 with a 4.70 ERA. He has given up 15 runs in his last three road starts against the Pirates, Rockies, and Diamondbacks. The Giants’ pitcher faced the Braves at home back on May 12 and gave up just two hits and three walks in seven innings while picking up a 5-1 win. Lincecum has been inconsistent this season; he has six starts in which he has allowed two earned runs or less. Those good outings have been mixed in with seven other starts where he has allowed four runs or more.

JULIO IS JARRING HITTERS

Julio Teheran is 4-3 with a 3.62 ERA on the year for the Braves. He has struck out 58 batters while walking just 15 hitters in 77 innings of work. The last time he was home, the righty nearly no-hit the Pirates. His next start was a rough one in San Diego as he gave up five runs in just six innings of work. He beat the Giants in San Francisco back on May 9. In that game, Teheran gave up three runs and seven hits striking out three while walking none. In his last 10 starts, Teheran has allowed six hits or more seven times.

INJURY REPORT

The Giants are a relatively healthy team. They have Angel Pagan and Pablo Sandoval on the disabled list. The Panda is expected to be activated around June 24th. They are also without Ryan Vogelsong who is dealing with a fractured right hand. Atlanta’s injury list is also short and about to become shorter with the return of Brandon Beachy on June 18. He had Tommy John surgery last year. The bullpen is without Jonny Venters and Eric O’Flaherty who both underwent Tommy John this season.

TRENDS

The under is 4-1-1 in the Giants’ last six Sunday games.
Giants are 4-1 in Lincecum’s last five Sunday starts

Braves are 12-4 in their last 16 Sunday games
The under is 5-1 in Teheran’s last six starts.

HITTERS TO WATCH

Brian McCann 10-for-30 vs. Lincecum
Justin Upton 11-for-47 vs. Lincecum

Buster Posey 2-for-3 vs. Teheran
Brandon Belt 2-for-3 vs. Teheran
