Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

-- Indians' 3B Lonnie Chisenhall turned into Mike Schmidt for a night; he hit three HRs, had nine RBI as the Indians beat Texas 17-7.

-- Derek Fisher will get $25M for five years to coach the Knicks. He's never been a coach before; $5M a year is pretty good entry level pay.

-- Orioles have been outscored 46-7 in Ubaldo Jimenez' six home starts (0-6).

-- Baltimore's Nick Markakis is 25-60 (.417) in the first inning this season.

-- Pirates' Neil Walker had an emergency appendectomy, allowing Pittsburgh to bring up its prize prospect Gregory Polanco from AAA.

-- Rays lost 3-0 to Seattle, ninth time they've been shut out this season; they lost 13 of their last 14 games.

**********

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

13) The college football playoff this January is going to be huge; they finally hit on the goldmine that has been waiting there for a long time. Think national media will be surprised by how big this is going to be.

12) NCAA settled one of the video game lawsuits for $20M or so; would be ironic if Ed O'Bannon's lawsuit was to bring down NCAA; they were ones who pushed him to go to UCLA to force Jerry Tarkanian to retire at UNLV, when he was rebuilding his team after the great 1989-91 run. O'Bannon blew out his knee in a pickup game, was never really the same again, which led him to this point.

11) Minnesota Twins sent Jason Kubel down to AAA, if they can’t trade him in 10 days, after signing Kendrys Morales. Heath Bell used his opt-out for the Orioles and is now a free agent. Only a truly desperate bullpen will pick him up. Morales was in the lineup Monday, hitting 6th as the DH.

10) Michigan State didn’t have a great recruiting year in basketball, but they did pick up West Virginia transfer Eron Harris, who scored 17 ppg for WVU last season- he has to sit out this coming season, will have two years left to play.

9) Dayton picked up a transfer from James Madison couple weeks ago, but lost starting PG Khari Price this weekend, in what appears to be the case of a kid just wanting to go to school closer to home. Louisiana Tech is a rumored destination for the young man.

8) USC’s leading scorer Byron Wesley winds up transferring to Gonzaga, where he is supposed to be eligible immediately. He’ll help the Zags with scoring from the wing. USC will have a lot of new guys this fall.

7) Tennessee-VCU, Michigan State-Navy will be a twinbill in Annapolis November 14, start of an annual event Navy will host to tip-off college basketball season. Other three teams will change each year.

6) That just made me realize that I’m going to be in Las Vegas for the start of college basketball this fall, and for ESPN’s college hoop marathon—that’ll be fun.

5) Florida State sold out its football season tickets for the first time since 2003, proving once again, that if you build it and win, they will come.

4) 13 times this year a pitcher threw 125+ pitches in game. Cole Hamels has done it three times, CJ Wilson twice. Eight others once each.

3) Had no idea that when an NFL player fires his agent, he has to wait five days to hire another one; some of these guys could change their mind 8-10 times in that long a period, then wind up with the same agent they originally fired.

2) An accountant familiar with such things estimated a pro athlete on a $500,000 contract winds up taking home around $265,000, which is good pay but it ain’t $500K.

1) Jacksonville Jaguars are putting a party deck in their stadium, one with two pools and 16 cabanas, which will go for $12,500 a day, or $250 per person. Someday they’ll probably be an actual casino in an NFL stadium.

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

San Antonio Spurs at Miami Heat (-4.5, 197.5)

Series tied 1-1

LeBron James avoided cramping issues in Game 2 and he looks to help Miami take the series lead when the Heat host the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. James received plenty of criticism for the Game 1 situation in which he missed most of the final 7 1/2 minutes but his legs held up fine on Sunday as Miami evened the series. James had 35 points and 10 rebounds in Game 2.

San Antonio played a lackluster fourth quarter in Sunday’s 98-96 loss and a tipping point was when point guard Tony Parker and power forward Tim Duncan each missed two free throws in a nine-second span with the Spurs leading by two points midway through the stanza. James scored the next five points and San Antonio held the lead just once the remainder of the contest. Chris Bosh hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:17 left and James finished 14-of-22 shooting in a strong bounce-back performance. “Look, he’s the best player in the game,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters afterward. “He has an incredible way to put his fingerprints on a game.”

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ABC

LINE HISTORY: The Heat opened at -4 and quickly moved to -4.5. The total opened at 198.5 and has been bet down to 197.5.

INJURY REPORT: N/A.

ABOUT THE SPURS: San Antonio closed Game 1 with an impressive 31-9 burst but lacked a finishing kick in Game 2 when it went 6-of-17 shooting in the final quarter. Coach Gregg Popovich noticed issues well before the final 12 minutes and was greatly disappointed with the club’s approach. “We can’t put it in somebody’s hands and have them create everything for us,” Popovich said in his postgame media session. “It’s got to be a group effort and we didn’t do that. That puts a lot of pressure on everything else. It means we’re going to have to be perfect on defense, we can’t miss four free throws in a row, those sort of things.”

ABOUT THE HEAT: Bosh scored 18 points in Game 2 as he was assertive in making sure he got his touches. He not only drained the decisive shot but also threaded a pinpoint pass to guard Dwyane Wade for a layup with 9.4 seconds to give the Heat an insurmountable five-point lead. James was most impressed with some dunks Bosh threw down while being ecstatic about his teammate’s solid all-around game. “He had two dunks that we haven’t seen in a long time, man,” James told reporters. “When he has that mindset, he just mixes it up. He’s the forgotten guy on our team. Shouldn’t be. Obviously, without his aggressiveness, we don’t win.”

TRENDS:

* Favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings
* Under is 13-5 in the last 18 meetings in Miami.
* Heat are 1-5 ATS in their last six vs. Western Conference.
* Spurs are 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games.

CONSENSUS: Fifty-one percent of wagers on consensus on the Heat.

Spurs-Heat Game 3: The game inside the game
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Game #1 of this series was so much about what LeBron James could not do - play down the stretch. Game #2 was so much about what James could do, and did. But while the superlatives are naturally flying across the sports mediaverse following that performance, there were some unique aspects about how his numbers, and the Miami win, were produced that provide the key starting points in building a Game #3 handicap.

James was good, very good. But perhaps so good that there are parts of the game that may not be recapped properly. One of the most basic tenets of sports handicapping is to properly sort through the conundrum of whether it was “Good Offense or Bad Defense” when points get scored, and that may take us to the heart of the Sunday night result. James was great, the Miami offense was uninspiring, and for a team that allowed 52.9 percent shooting, the Spurs played good defense. That means time to go to work.

If Gregg Popovich was given a tape of every Miami possession that ended with a James shot attempt, but the camera stopped stopped the minute the ball left his hands, Pops would likely have been thrilled with it. James had 22 FG attempts, while only getting to the line for five FT’s, a 4.4:1 ratio far batter than San Antonio could have hoped for – in the regular season it was 1.8:1, and prior to Sunday it had been 1.3:1 in the playoffs. Of the 48 Miami shots James did not take, he only managed three assists, another dream distribution for Popovich.

Consider this stretch – the Spurs led 62-56 with 5:56 remaining in the 3rd quarter, and over a period of 2:18 Miami would have six possessions, with five of them ending with James taking long jumpers, two from beyond the arc. There was an opportunity for the game to break open.

But we all know the result, and the scoreboard was driven by the simple fact that James made the shots. The Heat went on a 13-2 run in which Popovich might have been OK with his defense on all but one of the possessions (one pull-up triple on the break), but that is what can happen when a super player reaches a super level.

Here is the issue in projecting the series ahead – while James is indeed a unique talent (his ability to lock down Tony Parker at crunch time is a major end-game issue that the Spurs must solve), he is not a great shooter. The heat do not run plays to get him open for perimeter jumpers; he tends to take those shots when nothing else became available on a possession. As such Miami did not solve the San Antonio defense – it took a 14-22, including all three triples, from James to only generate a two-point scoreboard margin.

That sequence in the third quarter was a dramatic one, but the Spurs had yet one more opportunity to take control. Leading 85-83 at 6:43, Parker and Tim Duncan went 0-4 at the FT line over a span of nine seconds, and on the ensuing Miami possession James nailed a forced triple, over the out-stretched hands of Kawhi Leonard as the shot clock expired. It had little to do with X’s and O’s basketball, just the matter of San Antonio failing to take advantage of an opportunity, and then James being James. That was Game #2, defined.

Now the venue shifts, and Miami goes to the chalk role at home, with even a few -4.5’s in the marketplace as of mid-day on Monday. The handicapping challenge of evaluating the shift in pricing comes down to weighing the superstar value of James, vs. the fact that the Spurs floor game has been superior. The Heat could only get a two-point win out of a 52.9 percent to 43.9 shooting advantage, which is actually not a good sign, and in terms of quality of shots there is an intriguing comparison to be made. Through two games San Antonio has a small lead in FG’s, 76-74, but a monster one in assists, 56-32. Yes, those final seven minutes from Game #1 are statistically meaningless, and close that assist gap, but even after that adjustment it is still a significant one.

Keep this as a major part of your thinking, in expounding on that theme – the Spurs know who they are. But because the Miami rotations have changed so much during the playoffs, the Heat will not show the same rhythm and chemistry. Prime example - Ray Allen had not had back-to-back games all season of 32:00 or more until the first two of this series. Meanwhile Udonis Haslem has gone from being a starter to an 0:46 sneeze on Sunday. The shots made by James enabled them to overcome that, but through 96 minutes a ratio of 32 assists vs. 27 turnovers is not the kind of chemistry that wins championships.

As for the Total it was a most unique flow on Sunday – how often do we see a 45-41-69-39 distribution by quarters? Outside of that James explosion in the middle of the third the pacing was Under throughout, even though the shooting was again good. The teams are over 50 percent from the field through two games (150-298), including an exceptional 45-99 from 3-point range. But fast break points shrank from 39 in the opener to 22 in Game #2, and as the teams now have a better feel for just what the opposing rotations are going to be, that familiarity may slow things down a bit more, especially off of shorter rest and with the plane ride to Miami included.

Rough weather expected at many ballparks Tuesday

From thunderstorms to strong winds, there is some rough weather on the way at several ballpark's across the country Tuesday.

In Cincinnati, the Reds (-106, 7.5) host the Los Angeles Dodgers, where there is a an 80 percent chance of rain and expected thunderstorms. There is will also be a seven mph wind blowing in from right field.

In Baltimore, the Orioles (-111, 9) host the Boston Red Sox. There are thunderstorms expected in the area, but just a 28 percent chance of rain.

In Philadelphia, the Phillies (-101, 7.5) host the San Diego Padres, where there is a chance of thunderstorms and a 35 percent of rain.

The Pirates (-155, 7.5) host the Chicago Cubs in Pittsburgh, where there is a 37 percent chance of rain and a chance of thunderstorm.

In New York, the Mets host the Milwaukee Brewers (-121, 7.5). There are thunderstorms expected in the area and a 28 percent chance of rain. There will also be a five mph wind blowing out to left field.

The White Sox host the Detroit Tigers (-131, 8) in Chicago, where there will be a strong wind blowing out to right field at eight mph. There is also a 25 percent chance of showers.

Away teams have solid night against runline

If you backed road teams against the runline, you probably went home happy Monday night.

Away teams put up a respectable 7-4 mark against the runline last night, good for a 64 percent success rate.

Away favorites did most of the work going 3-1 against the runline, while away dogs went 4-3. Away dogs are still the best bet in baseball, still hitting at almost 63 percent for the season.

Tigers' Cabrera (hamstring) still day-to-day

The good news for the Detroit Tigers is that first baseman Miguel Cabrera was feeling healthy enough to be in the starting lineup against the Chicago White Sox on Monday night at U.S. Cellular Field, and he hit a home run.

The bad news is that he started at designated hitter, and he will be monitored on a day-to-day basis for a hamstring injury that forced him to leave Sunday's game early. Manager Brad Ausmus said the issue isn't related to a groin injury that nagged Cabrera for the second half of last season and the playoffs.

Nationals-Giants low total may be illusion

Historically AT&T Park has always been a pitchers park, which explains the low 6.5 total for the Washington Nationals-San Francisco Giants game Tuesday. However, recent history seems to suggest that the teams may buck the trend.

In the 32 games this season at AT&T Park, there is an average of 7.4 runs per game scored and teams have combined for double-digit runs 11 times. The past three games in San Francisco teams have scored 11,10 and nine runs respectively.

Looking at the teams individually shows that offense has been trending upward. The Nationals have themselves averaged 6.2 runs per game over their past 10, while the Giants have tallied 4.6 rpg.

Cuddyer out 6-8 weeks with fractured shoulder socket

Yesterday the Rockies placed Michael Cuddyer on the disabled list with a left shoulder strain. Turns out it’s more than a strain: Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports: an MRI revealed that he has a non-displaced fracture of the glenoid socket in his left shoulder.

Helluva night! I was surprised when I read that it tied the team record. Last night, I was certain it must be a record!
