    Armadillo: Saturday/Sunday's six-pack


    -- Nolan Arenado broke his finger on a head-first slide; when will teams ban their players from sliding head first, to reduce hand injuries?

    -- There is an aquarium in the backstop at Marlins Park. Not right behind the plate, but over towards the on-deck circle.

    -- Earliest Stephen Drew will play for the Red Sox is June 2nd.

    -- Joey Votto took the count full on 151 ABs LY; Mike Trout had 132, Mike Napoli 131. This year, Carlos Santana leads with 52 full counts, Napoli has 49.

    -- Hall of Famer Bert Blyleven once allowed 96 homers in a two-year span, 50 in 1986, 46 the next season.

    -- San Jose Sharks didn't raise ticket prices for next year, first time in five years. Getting ousted in first round of playoffs is said to be the reason why.

    Some notes of NFL season win total over/unders
    -- Would take lot of guts to lay over 8, -$150 on the Lions, seeing as Jim Caldwell is their new coach; only time he won was with Peyton Manning as his QB, and that includes eight years as a college head coach.

    -- Jaguars, Raiders, Vikings have lower totals than the Browns, who are on their third head coach in three years.

    -- Under 7.5 is -$145 for the Redskins; how healthy is RGIII?

    -- Seeing how Cincinnati drafted a QB, over 9, -$135 seems steep for the Bengals, who also have two new coordinators this season.

    -- Under 8 wins is -$130 for Miami; not sold on Taneyhill as the franchise QB.

    -- Tennessee over 7 is -$130; lot of faith in Jake Locker there.


    *****

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

    13) Heat 99, Pacers 87-- Paul George is 9-29 from floor in the last two games.

    12) Tampa Bay 6, Boston 5 (15)-- Red Sox scored five in top of first vs David Price, then didn't get a hit for six innings and lost a brutal in 15 inning game when their defense imploded. Rays won last three games, all on walk-offs. Boston has now lost its last nine games, its longest skid since 2001.

    11) Hockey players are tough: Rangers' Derek Stefan played almost all of Game 3 vs Montreal with a broken jaw; no tight hamstrings or pulled obliques for him.

    10) Houston Astros are 17-6 when they score 4+ runs, 1-26 when they do not.

    9) Saturday night was Throwback Night in Seattle; I am one of the few people I know who liked the Astros' rainbow uniforms from 30 years ago. Seattle wore its original uniforms, with the pitchfork-style M on the cap.

    8) Pitchers average around 32 starts a year now, if they stay healthy; back in the early 70's, White Sox had a knuckleball pitcher named Wilbur Wood who made 224 starts from 1971-75-- thats 44.8 starts a year!!! He once started both games in a doubleheader and went 24-20 one season.

    7) Eight of Victor Martinez' 12 homers have come with two strikes; he's struck out only 13 times all season.

    6) Went into a store Saturday that I hadn't shopped in over a year; saw three people I knew, two of which I hadn't seen in at least three years. Weird.

    5) Odd splits for David Wright, who is 1-18 with two out and a man in scoring position, but 13-30 with a man in scoring position and less than two outs. He is killing lefties this season (.468) but is only .243 vs righties.

    4) Umpire Doug Eddings has the plate in Miami today; nine of ten games he's worked this season came in under the total.

    3) Texas Rangers have 13 guys on the DL; seven of them are on 60-day DL.

    2) Miami Heat guard Norris Cole once grabbed 20 rebounds in a college game for Cleveland State; he is a 6-2 guard. There are 7-footers who don't grab that many rebounds in a week.

    1) Memphis Grizzlies fired Lionel Hollins last year after he won 56 games; now all they want from Minnesota for coach Dave Joerger is a 2nd round draft pick. Lot of odd comings and goings with NBA coaches recently.

    You win 56-50 games in two years and are still looking for your third head coach in three years? Why would anyone think Memphis is a good job, other than there are only 30 NBA head coaching jobs in the world?

      Game of the Day: Spurs at Thunder
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      San Antonio Spurs at Oklahoma City Thunder (-2, 208.5)

      Spurs lead series 2-0.

      San Antonio dominated the first two games of the Western Conference finals and Oklahoma City strives to record a breakthrough victory when the Thunder host the Spurs on Sunday. San Antonio won two home games by an average of 26 points, including a 35-point victory in Game 2 that left the Thunder shell-shocked. Oklahoma City also dug itself a 0-2 hole in the 2012 conference finals against the Spurs before rallying to win the next four games.

      The Thunder have upgraded power forward Serge Ibaka (calf) from out to day-to-day and general manager Sam Presti cautioned that the announcement doesn’t mean Ibaka is playing in Game 3. “I think it’s important, when you look at this, to recognize that we’re not saying that he’s playing but what we’re really trying to indicate is that the information is telling us that we can’t rule him out,” Presti told reporters on Friday. San Antonio has thrived in the interior with 120 points in the paint over the first two games and has also made nine 3-pointers in each contest.

      TV:
      8:30 p.m. ET, TNT

      LINE HISTORY:
      The line open at the Thunder -2.5, but quickly got bet down to -2 with the total jumping slightly from a 208 opening to 208.5.

      INJURY REPORT:
      Thunder - S. Ibaka (Questionable/Calf)

      ABOUT THE SPURS:
      The veteran club isn't willing to rest on its laurels despite the consecutive routs. Power forward Tim Duncan and guard Manu Ginobili both referenced the collapse of two years ago in their respective sessions with reporters on Friday. “We cannot take anything for granted,” Ginobili said. “We had a great start and ended up losing the series. We are playing a team that is so talented and has so many way of scoring – it is never over until you win the fourth game. We know that and most of us were on that team.”

      ABOUT THE THUNDER:
      Earlier this week, Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks made it clear Ibaka wasn't going to return during the series but the situation quickly changed with the Thunder landing in a dire situation. Oklahoma City went 4-0 against the Spurs in the regular season but has been caught in a severe mismatch against Duncan without Ibaka’s presence. “He’s still out,” Brooks told reporters. “We’re still focusing on trying to beat the Spurs without him playing, and that has not changed. I know he’s listed as day-to-day but, still, he is out until I’m told differently. All of our attentions and game planning is to focus on ways to play much better than we did last game.”

      TRENDS:

      *Spurs are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
      *Under is 6-2 in Thunder last 8 games following a SU loss of more than 10 points.
      *Home team is 8-2-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
      *Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Oklahoma City.

      CONSENSUS:
      52 percent of bettors are taking the Thunder -2 with the bulk of the total on the over.

      Is extended playoff break good or bad for Spurs bettors?
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The San Antonio Spurs landed a lethal combo in Games 1 and 2 that had the Oklahoma City Thunder out cold on their feet before being saved by the bell – rather a three-day layoff between Wednesday’s 112-77 beatdown and Game 3 in Chesapeake Energy Arena Sunday.

      The Spurs won those first two games by a combined 52 points, easily covering as home favorites in both contests. But, San Antonio faces a double-edged sword with the series swinging to OKC. The veteran team has an extended hiatus to rest its weary legs but loses a ton of momentum from those first two games of the series.

      Oddsmakers are expecting the break to have a negative effect on the Spurs, setting them as 2-point road underdogs for Game 3. That spread opened as high as Oklahoma City -2.5 and dropped half a point with 69 percent of wagers on San Antonio as of Friday afternoon.

      “The good: they're big three have time to rest, especially (Tony) Parker with his ailing hamstring,” Michael Stewart of CarbonSports.ag says of the Spurs’ layoff. “The bad: momentum could be lost and the Thunder could figure some things out on defense to slow the Spurs offense.”

      Stewart points to San Antonio’s conference finals meeting with the Thunder in 2012, when it won the first two games at home but then dropped four straight to Oklahoma City. He believes that memory is still fresh in the minds of Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and his players.

      “The Spurs seemed determined not to let what happened in 2012 happen again,” says Stewart.

      San Antonio has plenty to benefit from the time off, with an average age of 28.5 (fifth oldest) compared to the Thunder’s average age of 26.3. While it might not seem like much of a difference, consider the Spurs’ top three players – Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker - have a combined age of 102 years while OKC’s top three – Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and Reggie Jackson – stack up a total of just 74 years.

      Sean Murphy definitely believes the stretch between Games 2 and 3 cools off a red-hot Spurs squad, which has won seven of its last eight playoff games SU and ATS since losing to Dallas in Game 6 of their first-round series. But he’s hesitant to say that the break will solve the Thunder’s issues, especially when it comes to keeping San Antonio out of the paint.

      “To be honest, I'm not sure a couple of days off will make that much of a difference,” says Murphy. “(Oklahoma City) simply can't replace (injured center) Serge Ibaka. As far as momentum goes, I don't believe it will play a big factor as the Spurs are a veteran team that can manage that aspect of the emotional game.”

      Extended lapsed between games didn’t faze the Spurs during the regular season. San Antonio was perfect 4-0 SU (2-2 ATS) when coming off three or more days rest, with a 3-1 Over/Under record in those games. Sunday’s total is set at 208.5 points.

                        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                        Sunday's MLB betting cheat sheet: Rienzo looks to pad money lead
                        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                        Boston Massacre

                        The Boston Red Sox lost their ninth straight game Saturday, falling 6-5 in 15 innings to the Tampa Bay Rays (-162). The Red Sox, who rank last in the majors in money lost at $1,472, enter Sunday's series finale at Tropicana Field as a +115 underdog against the Rays' Jake Odorizzi.

                        Andre the Giant

                        Keep an eye on Chicago White Sox starter Andre Rienzo, who will look to continue his hot start Sunday against Masahiro Tanaka and the New York Yankees (-170, 7.5). Rienzo leads the league in money earned at $890 but will be in tough against Tanaka (6-1, 2.39 ERA, 73 strikeouts in 64 innings).

                        Flawed Favorite

                        The San Diego Padres (-106) dropped a 3-2 decision to the visiting Chicago Cubs on Saturday to fall to 1-4 in their last five games as a favorite. The Padres hope that trend doesn't continue as they enter as a -141 fave in Sunday's series finale.

                        Pitching Notes

                        * Houston Astros hurler Dallas Keuchel is a perfect 4-0 in his last four starts as an underdog of +150 or greater, including an 8 2/3-inning gem en route to a 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels as a +174 'dog last time out. Keuchel is installed at +150 for Sunday's game against host Seatttle.

                        * Arizona right-hander Bronson Arroyo will welcome the midday sun as he faces the New York Mets (-102, 7.5) in the opener of a doubleheader. Arroyo has a 2.00 ERA and one homer allowed in 18 afternoon innings compared to a 5.65 ERA and six longballs surrendered in 36 2/3 innings at night.

                        Hitting Notes

                        * Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki belted his 14th home run of the season as the Rockies (+136) earned a 3-1 win over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Colorado is 10-3 S/U and 8-4-1 O/U when Tulowitzki hits at least one homer entering Sunday's game against the Braves (-163, 7.5).

                        * Texas rookie infielder Rougned Odor drove in a career-best five runs to lead the Rangers (+155) to a 12-2 rout of the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. Odor is hitting a respectable .278 in 12 career games, during which Texas is 4-8 S/U and 4-6-2 O/U.

                        Totals Streak

                        Chicago Cubs (1-6 O/U): The Chicago pitching staff has been rolling of late, allowing two runs or fewer in five of its last seven games - all victories. Take out an 11-1 drubbing at the hands of the Padres on Friday, and the Cubs have had one of the league's best pitching lines over the past week.

                        Prop of the Day

                        The Colorado Rockies are longshots to beat the Braves by four or more runs (+700). The Rockies boast the MLB's top ranked offense with their last 10 wins coming by an average of 4.8 runs per game including five games won by six or more runs.

                        Injury Notes

                        * Colorado outfielder Carlos Gonzalez is expected to return to the lineup Sunday after being out since Wednesday with inflammation in his left index finger. The Rockies were 1-1 SU, 0-2 O/U and +$36 in his absence, and he may miss additional games here and there as he continues to recover.

                        * Washington Nationals first baseman Adam LaRoche (quad) has been activated from the 15-day DL and will return to the lineup Sunday against host Pittsburgh (-120, 7). Washington went 5-8 S/U, 5-5-3 O/U and -$499 with LaRoche out of action.

                        Weather Watch

                        * Fans at U.S. Cellular Field will see wind blowing in from left field at 7 mph for Sunday's game between the White Sox and Yankees. Teams combined to average 7.87 runs and 2.12 homers in eight games under similar wind conditions in 2013 - slightly below the stadium averages.

                        Umpire Note of the Day

                        Under is 10-1 in umpire Doug Eddings' previous 11 games behind home plate. Eddings will call the balls and strikes for Sunday afternoon's showdown between host Miami (+104, 8) and Milwaukee.

                          Dogs provide value against the spread Saturday

                          Underdogs own Saturday against the spread in MLB.

                          Underdogs dominated against the spread in Major League Baseball Saturday, going 12-3 over the faves. Road dogs went a perfect 7-0 against the home favorites providing fantastic value for bettors.

                          Defense was the story as nine out of fifteen games went under in a day which saw some great pitching performances.


                          Gonzalez to return to Rockies’ lineup on Sunday

                          Carlos Gonzalez says he will be back in the Rockies’ starting lineup on Sunday, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports. The outfielder has been out since Wednesday due to inflammation in his left index finger. Gonzalez says that while his finger feels better, it is not completely healed.

                          Hand problems are not new to Gonzalez, as he suffered from a sprained middle finger last year and a contusion on his index finger earlier this month, but both were on his right hand. His current issue is on his left hand.

                          Gonzalez, 28, has put up decent numbers thus far, slashing .276/.321/.477 with seven home runs and 29 RBI.
