    Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack


    -- Angels won a wild 11-6, 13-inning game in Atlanta, after they blew leads in both the 9th/10th innings.

    -- Colorado beat the Giants 5-4 on a two-run, inside-park HR in the 9th inning by Brandon Barnes- its fifth loss in six games for San Francisco.

    -- Barnes has two home runs this year; both were inside-the-park.

    -- Pirates are 11-5 in their last 16 games, have fought back to .500 (34-34).

    -- Amar's Stoudemire declined the chance to become a free agent, will stay with the Knicks, which probably didn't make Phil Jackson that happy.

    -- If you have any heart at all today, root for Erik Compton to win the US Open; the guy has had two heart transplants. He is on his third heart, at age 34.

      Heat - Spurs Game 5: The game inside the game
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      A series that many hoped would resemble the seven-game thriller of last June has been filled with Mastery, not Mystery. So as the teams head to San Antonio for Sunday night, the question becomes whether there is anything that the Heat can do to prevent a Championship trophy, on Fathers Day, going to someone called “Pops”.

      The Miami issues in this series have been documented on these pages. The Game #2 win was not good basketball from the Heat, but rather a great individual performance from LeBron James that overcame a mediocre floor game. Outside of that, considering that the Spurs are flowing offensively as well as any team since the Magic-Worthy-Kareem Lakers, it has not been a surprise that they were able to take advantage of the Miami holes. It is how easily it has happened that would have been difficult to anticipate – no team in NBA Finals history ever won back-to-back road games by 40 points.

      To recap the cracks in the Heat armor, it is a bit of a Good News/Bad News situation. The good is that Erik Spoelstra had a cast of veterans on the bench that he could mesh into just about any flow that was needed, and through these playoffs there has been a lot of lineup juggling, largely successful through the earlier rounds. The bad is that the San Antonio chemistry and execution is at such a high level that it takes a tremendous amount of teamwork to be able to match up. Spoelstra’s current configuration lacks that teamwork. Rashard Lewis, Ray Allen and Norris Cole are getting many more minutes than they had been accustomed to, and there just is not any way to get them into a defensive rotation that can cope with the way that the Spurs are moving the ball, especially when there is not a shot blocker to protect the rim. Imagine Spoelstra’s desperation when he went to Toney Douglas down 46-28 in the second quarter, the first time Douglas had left the bench in the first half of these playoffs.

      San Antonio shot a sparkling 58.2 percent in the two wins at Miami, with 46 assists paving the way. It was a beautiful ballet of basketball to watch. Until the Heat got the ball, when those same chemistry issues came into play. By halftime of Game #4 Miami was down to a 50-50 ratio of assists to turnovers for the entire series, and imagine how ugly the Game #4 bottom line would have looked if not for that late barrage from James Jones (4-4 for 11 points, nailing all three triples) – the Heat were sitting on 75 with a little over 2:00 remaining.

      There is also an issue that goes beyond the tactical X’s and O’s. A couple of weeks ago there was a take here on Dwayne Wade, and how the injury time off may have actually kept him a little fresher for the playoffs, with his spark vs. Indiana reminiscent of his former abilities. On Thursday Wade simply looked gassed. There was no lift in his legs, and he only managed 3-13 from the field, with two rebounds, over 32:54. He does get an extra day off before Game #5 tips off, but that may not be enough.

      For as good as Miami has been in winning back-to-back titles, there simply may not be any options to correct the flaws this matchup brings. Spoelstra can not build a defensive chemistry over two practice sessions, and with Kawhil Leonard gaining in confidence as he guards James, the answers on offense are problematic as well. James has continued to shoot well from the perimeter, but as was discussed on this page earlier in the series, Gregg Popovich will give him those shots all evening.

      Consider this – James was a terrific 19-31 from the field in the two games in Miami, including 6-12 from beyond the arc, and the Heat lost by 40. How does that happen? It happens because the offense works best when he is getting to the basket to break down the defense and create for the others. Leonard and the Spurs are closing that off, with part of the result reflected in James only getting to the line for nine FT attempts in the two defeats. As for the other part of the equation, on Thursday he only had two assists, and for the series it has been 18 turnovers vs. 15 successful dishes.

      Now on to Sunday. The early markets have settled in at San Antonio -6, which marks the biggest underdog price Miami has been offered in the 380 games of the James era. But even the most ardent of Zig-Zag followers are going to find it difficult to reach into their pockets. If there is a chance for the Heat to be in the hunt it will not come from X’s and O’s adjustments, but from James reaching back for a special effort, or Wade finding his legs again. As such, if you harbor Miami notions you may want to look at individual James props instead, rather than a team wager – it would be no surprise if he played well into the 40’s if the game is competitive.

      That last line perhaps says it all. In the Game #4 prelude the closing line was that for the Heat to win - “they will have to execute a level they might not have reached yet in the 2014 playoffs”. The gap really is that wide, and if Sunday brings us the last chance to see the Spurs in this configuration (Tim Duncan could make this his NBA Swan Song), the level of basketball they have played is something that will be appreciated far into the years ahead.

              Sunday, June 15



              Nationals flawless streak with Fister on the mound

              Doug Fister has been quietly going about a fantastic year for the Washington Nationals. In Fister's first start he got shellacked for five runs in 4.1 innings, but has since been stellar.

              In Fister's six starts since, he is 5-0 with one no decision. Through six games, Fister has allowed only eight runs and has only walked three batters. In not one start has any team registered more than two runs against the hurler.

              The Nationals, who are 6-0 in Fister's last six starts, travel to St. Louis Sunday.


              Marlins send an incredibly hot Alvarez to the mound

              After a poor start to his season, Henderson Alvarez has been money for the Miami Marlins. After the Marlins went 1-4 in Alvarez's first five starts, the team has now won seven of his past eight.

              In Alvarez's last eight starts he has allowed only 16 runs and on four occasions did not have a single run earned against him. Alvarez also has an astonishing 32/7 strikeout/bases on balls ratio.

              The Marlins will look to stay hot when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday.


              Porcello facing the Twins has paid out for bettors

              It may come out to one of those sports-betting oddities, but when Rick Porcello takes to the mound against the Minnesota Twins bettors can expect a high-scoring affair.

              In the last five games against the Twins, the Detroit Tigers starer has never allowed less than six hits against and has given up an average of four runs per game. These solid, yet unspectacular numbers, do not tell the whole story though as in those five games the over play has paid out four times.

              During those five games, spanning this season and last, the Tigers and Twins have averaged 10.4 runs per game.


              Wainwright to miss Monday start

              The St. Louis Cardinals are choosing to take the safe route with Adam Wainwright, electing to forego his next scheduled start Monday.

              Wainwright has been dealing with elbow soreness since his last start, but luckily for him and the Cardinals an MRI revealed no structural damage to the pitchers arm. Wainwright's next start will come next Saturday.

              Wainwright has a 9-3 record for the Cards, while posting a 2.15 ERA with 91 strikeouts.

                      Hitter's wind in Bay Area

                      It could be a long day for pitchers in the Golden State Sunday.

                      When the New York Yankees take on the Oakland Athletics at Oakland Coliseum, winds of 15 mph will be blowing directly to center field at gametime. Hitters will have the same advantage during Colorado's meeting with the San Francisco Giants at At&T Park as well.

                      Starting for the Yankees is Vidal Nuno, while Jesse Chavez takes the mound for the Oakland. Across the bridge, it's Juan Nicasio getting the ball for the Rox with Madison Bumgarner countering for San Fran. The A's are currently -179 faves with a total of eight, while San Francisco presently sits at -210 with a total of seven.

                        Winds could favor under bettors at these two parks

                        Pitcher-friendly conditions in Detroit and Chicago could give under totals a boost Sunday.

                        With the Minnesota Twins facing the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park, gusts of up to 12 mph blowing from center field towards home plate are expected. At U.S. Celluar Field, heavy winds blowing up to 24 mph in from right field should help to keep baseballs in the park in the ChiSox's meeting with the Kansas City Royals.

                        After lighting up the scoreboard in May, it was only a matter of time the bats cooled off for the Toronto Blue Jays. That's been the case and then some through the first few weeks of June for Canada's only baseball team.

                        The under is 8-0-1 in Toronto's last nine games. When the Jays cap off their four-game series versus the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards Sunday, there's more evidence that trend could continue: The under is 6-0-0 in Baltimore's last six matchups.

                        Blue Jays manager John Gibbons has said he's not worried about his squad's lack of offensive production while adding he knows the bats will heat back up again. Until the Jays can start putting up more runs on the scoreboard, bettors need to take note of this trend.

                        The O's are currently slight -113 faves with a total of nine.

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

                          Miami Heat at San Antonio Spurs (-6, 196)

                          The San Antonio Spurs are one victory away from their fifth NBA title and can claim their first championship since 2007 when they host the Miami Heat in Sunday’s Game 5. San Antonio rolled to back-to-back dominating wins in Miami to take a 3-1 series lead and is in good shape when you consider no NBA team has ever recovered from that deficit in NBA Finals play. The Spurs’ three victories are by an average of 18.3 points.

                          Heat standout LeBron James was among the stunned players over how easily San Antonio dismantled Miami the past two games. “I mean, they smashed us,” James told reporters. “Two straight home games, got off to awful starts. They came in and were much better than us in these two games. It’s just that simple.” Spurs veteran Tim Duncan expects a fierce effort from the Heat as San Antonio attempts to avenge last season’s finals loss to the Heat. “We’re going to use our home court and we’re going to come with the same focus that we did in these last two games, and hopefully close it out at home,” Duncan told reporters.

                          LINE HISTORY:
                          The Spurs opened at -5 before moving to -5.5 and now currently sit at -6. The total opened at 197 before being bet down to 195.5.

                          ABOUT THE HEAT:
                          James is averaging 27.5 points in the series and is very much aware that no team has ever recovered from a 3-1 deficit to win the NBA Finals. He asserts that the players only have themselves to blame for the hole Miami finds itself in but doesn’t want to look past Sunday and ponder the historical aspect. “It’s never been done before but we’re still a confident bunch, even though our heads are lowered down right now,” James told reporters. “Of course, being down 3-1 and losing two straight games at home, that’s just human nature. But we’ve still got to go out and play on Sunday.”

                          ABOUT THE SPURS:
                          Small forward Kawhi Leonard produced back-to-back stellar efforts in Miami – averaging 24.5 points and nine rebounds in the two games – but versatile Boris Diaw has also been a valuable performer since San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich inserted him into the starting lineup for Game 3. Diaw had a solid all-around game with eight points, nine rebounds and nine assists in Game 4 and is averaging 6.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists in the series. “He knows what’s going on most all the time,” Popovich told reporters. “At the offensive end he’s a passer. He understands mismatches. He knows time and score. At the defensive end, he knows when to help. He’s active. So he just helps the whole team have a better IQ, I think.”

                          TRENDS:


                          *Heat are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 NBA Championship games.
                          *Spurs are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a S.U. win.
                          *Under is 8-3 in Heat last 11 games following a SU loss of more than 10 points.
                          *Under is 26-12 in the last 38 meetings.

                          CONSENSUS:
                          Fifty-four percent of bettors are backing the Heat +6.
