    Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

    -- Oklahoma City outscored Clippers 17-3 over last 4:00 to nip LA 105-104 and take a 3-2 series lead in a game with shaky guard play and dubious officiating.

    -- Wizards won 102-79 at Indiana; Pacers look dreadful when they lose, but they still have a 3-2 series lead, are 7-5 overall in playoffs. .

    -- Mets beat Bronx 12-7, have won seven in a row over the Bombers.

    -- Chicago/Rangers won their series, move on to the NHL conference finals.

    -- Chris Parmalee hit a walk-off homer as Minnesota beat the Red Sox 8-6, spoiling a two-homer night for former Twin David Ortiz.

    -- Stan Van Gundy is being offered $35M by the Pistons to be coach and run the basketball operations in Detroit.


    *****

    Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but........
    13) Why isn’t more analysis done of drafts 3-5 years after they happen? That’s when you can properly figure out who was sharp and who wasn’t; doing an analysis of this draft 12 hours after it happens is pointless, but I guess we’re a society that lives in the right now so that’s what people want to read, but seeing stuff from the 2009-2011 drafts would certainly be more telling as to why teams are in the position they’re in now.

    12) If I was a Cleveland Browns’ fan, I’d be happy to hear Brian Hoyer starts the season as the starter; let the rookie Manziel learn, observe and get his feet wet. Throwing guys in right away is a new trend of the last 5-7 years and not necessarily a positive one.

    11) LVH is posting NFL season win total over/unders Sunday at 5pm, so we’ll knowledge on those numbers in this space Monday.

    10) They’re already selling Houston Texan mini-helmets signed by Jadeveon Clowney for $200 a pop; must be nice to get paid for signing your name.

    9) Remember once my father wanted me to get an Eli Manning signed mini-helmet for him, to give to someone as a thank you gift, so I go to the memorabilia store in the ****- a signed Giants’ helmet, with a scribbled signature was $190 or so (this was a few years ago). I mention to the cashier that its too bad he doesn’t have an Ole Miss helmet signed by Manning, that would be cool. The guy perks up and says, “I have one in the back!!!” and returns with it, with a perfect signature, as if Eli labored to do it just right. Only $100.

    Giant helmets and Ole Miss helmets are exactly the same except for the logo on the side, dark blue with a red stripe. So I saved $90 or so just by making conversation.

    8) Mike Brown has been fired again by the Cavaliers, the third time he’s been fired in four years; he’s probably still cashing checks from the first time Cleveland fired him. Guy couldn’t win a title coaching Lebron or Kobe; can we give someone else a chance, please?

    7) There is actually a junior college in Florida called Daytona State? Heard of them for the first time this week; where do their students go on spring break?

    6) A’s skipper Bob Melvin hit 35 major league homers during his playing days; three of them were against Fernando Valenzuela, a damn good pitcher- that’s more than Melvin hit against anyone else.

    5) Vikings’ college scouting director Scott Studwell resigned after 12 years, which is a big change for that organization. NFL scouts are largely anonymous but obviously they do critical work when it comes to personnel decisions that make or break a season.

    4) ACC basketball tournament will now be Tuesday-Saturday, with final 8:30 on Saturday nights on ESPN, going head-head with the Big East tournament on FOX Sports1. There could come a time where there are no conference tourney games on Selection Sunday, except maybe for some one-bid leagues that want TV exposure, like the Sun Belt or Southland.

    3) Anthony Hickey is one of three players to leave LSU’s basketball program, after playing three years for the Tigers; he averaged 31.1 mpg LY, so something’s up there. Curious to see where the young man winds up. Sounds like he was dismissed, rather than transferring, although he will undoubtedly surface somewhere else.

    2) Seattle lifted starter Iwakuma after 97 pitches with a 1-0 lead after 8th inning; closer Rodney blew the save. Tampa Bay left starter Price in, also with 97 pitches, and he closed out the Rays' dramatic 2-1 win. This is why Joe Maddon is one of the best managers in baseball; he usually gets a lot from a limited roster.

    1) Baseball teams in New York, Chicago, LA and the SF/Oakland bay area would like more rivalry games in interleague play, but teams like Colorado/Seattle don’t have natural rivals, so what would those teams do?

    I still think total geographic realignment would be a good idea, but that’s too radical an idea for baseball’s glacier-like progressive thinking.

      Trail Blazers at Spurs: What bettors need to know
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Portland Trail Blazers at San Antonio Spurs (-7.5, 208.5)

      The Portland Trail Blazers avoided elimination for at least one more game and will attempt to keep their season alive when they visit the San Antonio Spurs for Game 5 on Wednesday. The Trail Blazers made some changes to their rotation in Game 4 to catch the Spurs off-guard and dominated the final 17 minutes to pull within 3-1 in the best-of-seven series. Portland is attempting to become the first NBA team in history to recover from a 3-0 deficit and win the series.

      San Antonio let it slip away and barely attempted to recover on Monday, sitting Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker for the entire fourth quarter in the 103-92 loss. The Trail Blazers have been missing something off the bench with Mo Williams (groin) down, but Will Barton stepped up with 17 points in 30 minutes in Game 4 while Thomas Robinson added nine points and five rebounds. “We did what we needed to do and we’re looking forward to going to San Antonio and keep competing and keep playing our basketball,” Portland coach Terry Stotts told reporters.

      TV:
      9:30 p.m. ET, TNT

      ABOUT THE TRAIL BLAZERS:
      Portland held a lead for just 33 seconds total in the first three games of the series but took control at the end of the first quarter and held off the Spurs the rest of the way in Game 4. The big run came at the end of the third quarter, when Nicolas Batum converted a four-point play and buried another 3-pointer to spark a 20-7 surge. “We just played with a lot more energy,” guard Damian Lillard told reporters. “Usually we come out and we’re fighting from behind. We’ve had good third quarters every game, but (Monday) we had a lead going into the third, so it was a little bit different.” Batum finished with 14 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists and is embracing the challenge of digging out of the 3-0 hole. “Like we said, why not us? It’s never been done before,” Batum said.

      ABOUT THE SPURS:
      San Antonio is not worried about the Trail Blazers coming back and is ready to close things out in Game 5. “We have to treat Wednesday’s game like it’s a Game 7,” Parker told reporters. “It’s a big game for us. We worked hard the first three games to be in that position.” Parker outplayed Lillard in each of the first three games but was held to a series lows of 14 points and one assist in Game 4 before sitting out the final 14 minutes-plus. Portland tried out Batum defensively against Parker and kept the speedy guard from getting into the lane at will as he had in the first three games.

      TRENDS:

      * Over is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings.
      * Trail Blazers are 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings.
      * Spurs are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games following a ATS loss.
      * Over is 5-0 in Spurs last five home games.

      BUZZER BEATERS:

      1. Lillard is the first player in NBA history to record 25 or more 3-pointers and 50 or more free throws in his first 10 postseason games.

      2. Spurs G Danny Green is 4-of-18 from 3-point range in the series.

      3. Portland is the last team to force a Game 7 after being down 3-0 in a series, falling to the Dallas Mavericks 4-3 in the first round in 2003.

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

      Brooklyn Nets at Miami Heat (-7, 188.5)

      LeBron James has put Miami in position to close out the Eastern Conference semifinals and he will have a hard act to follow when the Heat host the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. James tied his personal playoff career high and set a Miami franchise record with 49 points in Game 4 as the Heat produced a 102-96 victory to take a 3-1 lead. Brooklyn won all four regular-season meetings but needs to come up with a strong effort to force a Game 6 at home.

      The Nets had no answer from the outset for James, who was 16-of-24 from the field while matching the 49 points he scored against Orlando in 2009 while playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Even with all those points, it was center Chris Bosh who drained the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 57.3 seconds left as James spotted him wide open in the right corner. “He just showed great poise and trust to make the right basketball play,” coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters of James’ decision to pass. “He reads the game as well as anybody that’s played the game.” Brooklyn set a franchise playoff record with 15 3-pointers in its Game 3 win before dropping off to 5-of-22 in Monday’s loss.

      TV:
      7 p.m. ET, TNT

      ABOUT THE NETS:
      Only eight teams have rebounded from a 3-1 deficit to win an NBA playoff series and the task is harder for Brooklyn when you factor in it needs to win three straight against the two-time defending champs. The veteran club knows it is on the verge of elimination but continues to vow the series will tighten up. “We just got to get one game,” forward Paul Pierce told reporters after Game 4. “That’s the mindset. The series is far from over.” Getting a solid performance from Deron Williams would help the cause as the point guard is just 8-of-34 shooting over the past three games after being a solid 7-of-10 for 17 points in Game 1.

      ABOUT THE HEAT:
      James could have reached 50 points but he split two free throws with 1.1 seconds left. He had 25 points in the first half and 15 more in the third as Brooklyn struggled to defend him. James was rubbed wrong by some trash talking from Pierce after the Nets won Game 3 and now has his focus on ending the series in five games and not making a return to Brooklyn until next season. “Play with a sense of urgency defensively, help one another, communicate, try to get the ball moving offensively from one side to the other and attack,” James told reporters of the Game 5 plan. “If we do those things, and do it with a clear mind but at the same time an aggressive mind, we give ourselves a good chance to win.”


      TRENDS:


      * Under is 6-1 in the last seven meetings in Miami.
      * Home team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings.
      * Over is 4-1 in Nets last five overall.
      * Heat are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 Wednesday games.

      BUZZER BEATERS:

      1. SG Dwyane Wade, who is averaging 15.8 points in the series, held the former Heat playoff record of 46 points, set in 2010.

      2. Brooklyn F Mirza Teletovic missed all three of his 3-point attempts in Game 4 after going 10-of-16 over the previous two games.

      3. James has scored 30 or more points in four of Miami’s eight postseason games.

        Game of the Day: Canadiens at Bruins
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Montreal Canadiens at Boston Bruins (-173, 5)

        The Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins have been before - with the last time being three years ago. The Original Six rivals will compete in a Game 7 on Wednesday for the ninth time in history as the Canadiens and host Bruins decide their Eastern Conference second-round series. Carey Price recorded his fourth postseason shutout against Boston on Monday, turning aside all 26 shots he faced as Montreal staved off elimination by cruising to a 4-0 triumph in Game 6.

        Reigning Norris Trophy winner P.K. Subban didn't score in that contest, but he did tally with 1:57 to play in the teams' last Game 7 meeting - on April 27, 2011. The then-rookie defenseman tied the contest before Nathan Horton beat Price 5:43 into overtime as the Bruins began a surge that culminated in a Stanley Cup title. "It's going to be great," Subban said of Wednesday's winner-take-all game. "I can't wait for the crowd, the noise, the energy in the building. I can't wait to take that all away from them."

        LINE HISTORY:
        Pinnacle Sports opened the Bruins as -183 home faves, but that has been bet down to -173. The total has opened at 5.

        INJURY REPORT:
        Canadiens: C Alex Galchenyuk (Questionable, knee). Bruins: D Dennis Seidenberg (Out indefinitely, knee), C Chris Kelly (Out indefinitely, back).

        ABOUT THE CANADIENS:
        Thomas Vanek has proven himself to be a thorn in the side of the Bruins - and this series has been no exception. The 30-year-old Austrian scored twice on Monday to double his goal total for the series and has tallied 34 times in 61 career games versus Boston. Max Pacioretty (one goal, three assists in the series) admitted that he was getting outplayed by Boston captain Zdeno Chara in the set's first four contests, but the Connecticut native chimed in with a goal and an assist in Game 6.

        ABOUT THE BRUINS:
        David Krejci led Presidents' Trophy-winning Boston in the regular season with 69 points, but has just one (an assist in Game 2) in the series and three in the postseason. Despite his struggles, the Czech Olympian remains optimistic that he and fellow struggling linemate Milan Lucic (one goal, two assists in the series) will get it in gear. "Yeah, we had some good looks out there," Krejci said. "They didn't go in for us, but we're going to stay positive in here."

        TRENDS:


        * Over is 5-1-1 in the last seven meetings in Boston.
        * Canadiens are 5-2 in the last seven meetings in Boston.
        * Bruins are 11-4 in their last 15 Conference Semifinals games.
        * Bruins are 1-4 in their last five Wednesday games.

        CONSENSUS:
        75 percent of wagers are coming in on the Bruins.

        Ducks at Kings: What bettors need to know
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Anaheim Ducks at Los Angeles Kings (-137, 5)

        If their first-round series was any indication, the Los Angeles Kings have the Anaheim Ducks right where they want them. Los Angeles attempts to stave off elimination and even its Western Conference second-round matchup when it hosts Anaheim for Game 6 on Wednesday. The Kings lost their first three games against San Jose in the opening round before staging an historic rally to win the series, becoming the fourth team in NHL history to accomplish the feat.

        Los Angeles continued to surge, winning the first two games of this set in Anaheim. The Pacific Division-champion Ducks returned the favor with two victories at Staples Center before posting a 4-3 triumph on Monday to again push the Kings to the brink. Devante Smith-Pelly snapped a tie by tallying twice in an 83-second span early in the second period and rookie John Gibson made 39 saves as Anaheim withstood a comeback attempt to hand the Kings their second three-game losing streak of the postseason.

        TV:
        9:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, TSN, RDS

        ABOUT THE DUCKS:
        The two-goal performance was the second of the playoffs for Smith-Pelly, who also scored a pair - including the tying tally with 24 seconds left in the third period - in Anaheim's series-clinching overtime victory against Dallas in Game 6 of their first-round matchup. Gibson proved to be human in Game 5 by allowing three goals but improved to a combined 5-0-0 with two shutouts, a 1.40 goals-against average and a .955 save percentage in three NHL regular-season games and a pair of playoff contests.

        ABOUT THE KINGS:
        Regardless of the outcome of the series, Los Angeles' acquisition of Marian Gaborik at the trade deadline has been a superb one. The Slovakian registered 16 points in 19 regular-season games before turning it up a notch in the playoffs with 12 points in as many contests. Gaborik has registered three two-goal performances - including one in Game 5 - and leads the league with eight tallies.

        TRENDS:

        * Ducks are 5-0 in the last five meetings in Los Angeles.
        * Under is 4-1-1 in the last six meetings in Los Angeles.
        * Ducks are 25-9 in their last 34 vs. Pacific.
        * Kings are 5-2 in their last seven games playing on 1 days rest.

        OVERTIME:

        1. The Ducks have won three straight playoff games for the first time since 2007, when they captured five in a row against Detroit (three) and Ottawa en route to their Stanley Cup championship.

        2. Los Angeles D Willie Mitchell, who has missed six games with an undisclosed injury, skated on Tuesday but is doubtful for Game 6.

        3. Smith-Pelly leads Anaheim with five goals but has yet to record an assist in the playoffs.

                  MLB Top 4: No-name money pitchers
                  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                  Every season, a collection of unheralded pitchers return the kind of value usually reserved for the very best hurlers in the majors.

                  In some cases, these under-the-radar finds are able to maintain their hot streak throughout the season. Other times, the early-season good times give way to a more difficult schedule as hitters make adjustments.

                  Here are four no-name pitchers with the highest money values heading into the second half of May (records are team marks vs. moneyline):

                  Andre Rienzo, Chicago White Sox (4-0, 4.56 ERA, $548)

                  Rienzo has been the most fortunate pitcher on this list. The 25-year-old Brazil native hasn't necessarily pitched all that well, surrendering at least three runs in each of his four starts while failing to go longer than 6 1/3 innings in any of them. But the White Sox bats have provided Rienzo with overwhelming support, averaging 6.5 runs in those outings to help him to a 3-0 record despite an inflated ERA. Chicago was an underdog in all of Rienzo's first four starts.

                  Tyler Skaggs, Los Angeles Angels (6-1, 4.14 ERA, $509)

                  Like Rienzo, Skaggs has had his share of rough outings - allowing four or more runs in three of his last six starts. But the 22-year-old has actually been far more effective, limiting opponents to a .228 average while surrendering just four home runs in 45 2/3 innings and posting a solid 1.12 WHIP. The Angels have given him plenty of run support so far, scoring at least five runs in all but one of his starts. Skaggs has a respectable 3-1 mark against the moneyline as a dog.

                  Scott Kazmir, Oakland Athletics (7-1, 2.28 ERA, $504)

                  Kazmir is the most recognizable name on the list, but may also be the unlikeliest. His career thought to be over after wildness and prolonged struggles bounced him from the majors, Kazmir has stormed back to relevance. The 30-year-old left-hander has surrendered fewer than two runs in four of his eight starts while limiting opponents to just two home runs in 51 1/3 innings. Oakland has given him plenty of offense, averaging more than six runs per game in his outings.

                  Jordan Lyles, Colorado Rockies (6-2, 2.66 ERA, $440)

                  Lyles has been an underdog in five of his eight starts, but has risen to the challenge as the top pitcher for the surprisingly potent Rockies. The 23-year-old right-hander has registered five consecutive quality starts - three of those coming on the road - and has held foes to a .223 average while getting off to a 5-0 start. He has also benefited from the league's most potent offense, getting at least five runs of support in five of eight outings. He's a perfect 4-0 in those starts

                      Unders heating up on the ice

                      With the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs coming to a close, teams are tightening up the defense and unders are becoming a hot play on the ice.

                      Both Game 7 in the Rangers-Penguins series and Game 6 of the between the Wild and Blackhawks went under the total Tuesday night, making the under 5-1 in the last six playoff games.

                      There are two more games Wednesday night, with Game 7 between the Canadiens and Bruins and Game 6 between the Ducks and Kings. The game total for both is currently at 5.0.

                      Underdog shines on hardwood yet again

                      The underdog had another great night for bettors, going 2-0 against the spread in Tuesday's NBA Playoff action.

                      The Washington Wizards thumped the Indiana Pacers 102-79, covering as a 5.5-point road dog, and the Oklahoma City Thunder won 105-104, but it was the Los Angeles Clippers who covered as 5.5-point road dogs.

                      Underdogs are now 9-1 ATS since Friday May 9 and are 12-6 ATS in the conference semifinal round of the postseason.

                      The Brooklyn Nets are 7-point road dogs at the Miami Heat and the Portland Trail Blazers are 7.5-point road dogs at the San Antonio Spurs in Wednesday's matchups.

                          I'm with you Udog--Browns have to do something to quell this Manziel-mania--it's unbelievable.

                              I guess the best way to do that is for Hoyer to complete 8 of 8 for 185 yards and 3 TDs in the first half of the first game!

                              I think Manziel will do fine but he'll need some time to learn a very different game from anything he's ever played.

                              I keep hearing that his size may be a hinderance but, when you can scramble like that, you'll never have to try to throw over a DE anyway!
