Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

-- Miami made 11-19 3's, including 2-3 in last 0:30 of regulation to get to an overtime where they beat the Spurs and forced a Game 7 Thursday.

-- Ginobili had eight turnovers and was -21, meaning Spurs were +18 in the 18:00 he was off the floor. Will he start Game 7?

-- By way of comparison, in their Game 1 win, Spurs had a total of four turnovers for the whole game. Only time Miami can really run is after San Antonio turns the ball over.

-- Miami held Danny Green to 1-7 from the floor in Game 6. Parker missed 17 of 23 shots and looked exhausted in the overtime period.

-- Spurs led 71-58 with 3:10 left in third quarter; Lebron James missed a trey with 0:23 left and Miami down 5, but Spurs couldn't finish the deal.

-- There is no metric that measures heart, resiliency or mental toughness; to win Game 7 after coming so close Tuesday, the Spurs will have to refresh some old legs, reboot their brains and try to forget Game 6 happened.

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud..........

13) Mets/Braves finished three games on Tuesday, the first one at 1:23am, the last two in a day/night twinbill; last team to do that were the ’96 Reds, who followed up a late night in Atlanta with a doubleheader in Miami the next day.

12) Speaking of the Braves, Tuesday they became last MLB team to use a sixth starting pitcher this season; always nice to have healthy hurlers.

11) Home team is 14-1 when Tim Hudson starts; Braves are 7-0 in his home starts, they're 1-7 in his starts on foreign soil.

10) Mets' radio voice Howie Rose called BJ Upton "Ike Davis South" late in first game of Tuesday's doubleheader, referring to Upton struggling with the bat a lot like Davis, who is now hitting .204 at AAA Las Vegas.

Unusual for an announcer to call out an opposing player like that.

9) In NBA nickname news, New Orleans Hornets are now the Pelicans; the Charlotte Bobcats are going back to being the Hornets, but word out of Washington is that the Wizards won’t go back to being the Bullets- they used to have cool bright orange uniforms, back when Earl Monroe/Wes Unseld made them a formidable team.

8) DePaul hired an AAU coach from Washington DC as an assistant coach, a recruiter; he has strong ties to the DC Assault AAU program, which produces a lot of excellent players. Strange that a Chicago program would want to establish a presence in Washington, but maybe its because they're in the big East and will still play lot of games in the northeast.

7) Missouri hired former Drake coach Mark Phelps as an assistant; he was 77-86 at Drake, but more notably, has also assistant Herb Sendek at Arizona State/NC State, so he is a tactician. Every staff needs a couple recruiters and at least one strong tactician.

6) Georgetown F Greg Whittington may have torn his ACL, which means he could miss next basketball season; he was the Hoyas’ second-leading scorer LY, before grades derailed him midway thru the season.

5) A basketball player from NC-Asheville transferred to LSU? A guard who scored 15 ppg this season will have two years to play at LSU after he sits out next season. Where was LSU when he came out of high school?

This poaching needs to stop; bigtime schools stealing kids is hurting mid/low majors. Its a free country, but it stinks.

4) Kansas City has had zero starts this season from a pitcher signed/ drafted by the Royals, although Yordano Ventura could end that streak later this season- he’s made three starts in AAA, and looks pretty good.

3) Baseball favorites of -$150+ went 2-5 Tuesday; big night for dogs.

2) Bigger day for the Mets, who swept day/night twinbill in Atlanta, with Harvey/Wheeler beating the Braves. Wheeler put nine Braves on base in his six innings, but none of them scored and thats what counts. Mets are building a solid starting rotation; their outfield still needs some work.

1) New Arkansas football coach (former Wisconsin coach) Bret Bielema wants to legislate against no-huddle offenses, making it mandatory for offenses to wait 15 seconds after getting a first down. Ol’ Bret ain’t in the Big Dozen anymore, he’s in the freakin’ SEC. Get used to everything happening fast buddy and no, there are no Indianas in this league.

Heat open as 6.5-point faves for NBA Finals Game 7

The Miami Heat opened as 6.5-point home favorites for Game 7 of the NBA Finals after escaping with a 103-100 win in overtime versus the San Antonio Spurs at the American Airlines Arena Tuesday night.

Miami improved to 13-0 SU coming off a loss since Jan. 10 but fell short of the 6.5-point spread, marking the first time the Heat failed to cover in those rebound games during that span. The Heat and Spurs have alternated wins and loss since San Antonio took Game 1 of the finals.

Miami is just 2-4 ATS in the finals and 11-11 ATS in the postseason. San Antonio boasts a 14-6 ATS mark in the playoffs.

The total for Game 7 Thursday opened at 190 points. After playing under the number in the opening two games of the series in South Beach, the Heat and Spurs have topped the total in four straight games. The Game 6 total closed at 192 points. San Antonio is 11-9 over/under in the playoffs while Miami owns an 11-9-2 over/under postseason count.

Moneyline odds have Miami priced as a -300 favorite to win Game 7 SU and earn back-to-back NBA titles. San Antonio is listed as a +240 underdog.

Blackhawks at Bruins: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chicago Blackhawks at Boston Bruins (-130, 4.5)

In order to take a step toward solving the Boston Bruins, the Chicago Blackhawks will need to tackle the task that is Tuukka Rask. The goaltender has kept the President's Trophy-winning Blackhawks off the scoreboard for over 122 minutes as the Bruins have claimed a 2-1 edge in the Stanley Cup final. After Rask recorded his third postseason shutout by stopping all 28 shots he faced in a 2-0 triumph on Monday, Chicago will look to get the better of the young stud in Wednesday's Game 4 and end Boston's seven-game home winning streak - thereby evening the series in the process.

The Blackhawks are expected to receive a boost with the "likely" return of Marian Hossa, according to coach Joel Quenneville. Hossa, who shares the team lead with 15 points, was a late scratch with an upper-body injury on Monday - despite taking part in the pre-game warmup. An ailing power play continues to plague Chicago, which has failed to score on all 11 opportunities with the man advantage in the series and 20 consecutive dating back to Game 2 of the Western Conference final versus the Los Angeles Kings.

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

ABOUT THE BLACKHAWKS: After sharing the team lead in goals with Patrick Kane in the regular season, captain Jonathan Toews has mustered all of one during the playoffs. "Whether it's him or our power play, offensively I think we're all a little gun shy in that area," Quenneville said. "One thing with Johnny, you can always measure how he's going to be competing because game in, game out, he leaves it out there." Quenneville admitted that he has considered reuniting Kane and Toews on the same line - as he did briefly against the Kings. The presence of towering Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara has played a part in splitting the two.

ABOUT THE BRUINS: Credit Patrice Bergeron for adding to Chicago's troubles as last season's Selke Trophy winner scored a power-play goal and won 24 of 28 faceoffs in Game 3. Bergeron has tallied twice with the man advantage in the Stanley Cup - and has won the respect of his teammates in spades. "(He) is by far the best two-way centerman in the league," Brad Marchand said. "He proves it night in and night out how special he is as a two-way guy." Daniel Paille scored for the second straight contest and has three points in the Stanley Cup final.

TRENDS:

* Bruins are 7-1 in their last 8 overall.
* Under is 11-3-3 in Blackhawks last 17 games playing on 1 days rest.
* Under is 4-0 in Bruins last 4 home games.
* Blackhawks are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings in Boston.

OVERTIME:

1. Chicago C Michal Handzus lost all 10 of his faceoffs in the first two periods of Game 2. He did not take another in the third period.

2. The Bruins have killed off their last 27 short-handed chances.

3. Boston has won 11 of its last 13 games.

Fading MLB traveling teams a profitable betting practice
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The circus life of Major League Baseball is unlike any other pro sport. Teams play a game, rush to the airport to fly across the county that night, and are back on the field the next day staring down a new opponent.

Only four American League clubs have a winning record in this situation – Baltimore, Oakland, Seattle and Texas – while six National League teams are above .500 when coming off a game and travel the night before – Atlanta, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, St. Louis and San Francisco.

Just the AL East (29-28) and NL Central (29-26) have a collective winning record in this situation. American League clubs are 76-93 coming off a game and travel while the National League boasts a 76-86 record when going field-runway-field. That’s an MLB-wide 45.9 winning percentage for teams playing and traveling the night before.

“(Travel) does play into (the odds) for sure,” Peter Korner, founder of the Nevada-based odds service The Sports Club, told Covers. “It’s a long season and clubs have to rest some people. We consider it more in extreme cases.”

Korner notes that oddsmakers send out the overnight MLB odds for the next day before that day’s schedule is even played, and says bettors can find value scouting those teams traveling that night especially if that day’s contest goes long.

“If we put the line out for the next day and that night’s game goes long or into extras, (bettors) play it. And it’s up to the bookmakers to make the change, but usually by that point (bettors) have already made their play,” he says. “It’s an angle bettors should play. There are so many games and it’s such a long tough season.”

A perfect example of finding value fading a team with a busy travel sked are the Pittsburgh Pirates, who enter Tuesday's action as the best bet in the majors at +15.10 units (41-29). However, the Bucs would be even more profitable if they weren't 2-10 in outings when coming off a game and travel the day before.

Here are the best and worst records in the majors when coming off a game and travel the night before:

Best travel bets (Records as of June 18, 2013)

St. Louis Cardinals: 8-2, 5-3-2 O/U
Oakland Athletics: 9-5, 10-4 O/U

Atlanta Braves: 6-4, 6-4 O/U
Seattle Mariners: 6-5, 4-6-1 O/U
