NHL Playoffs on NBC: What bettors need to know
By BILL MCBRIDE

St. Louis Blues at Los Angeles Kings (-135, 4.5)

Los Angeles leads series 3-0

The talent was always there in Los Angeles. But perhaps it just needed time to mesh, a new voice in Darryl Sutter, and a postseason stage for it to all come together. Whatever explanation you want to throw out there, something’s working. The Kings are 7-1 in the playoffs so far and seeking more.

St. Louis searching for answers

Ken Hitchcock did a wonderful job turning around the Blues and he will likely win the Jack Adams Award for his efforts. But he’s been outcoached in this series by Sutter and his line combinations just aren’t working.

Above all else, though, St. Louis trails this series because of its depth -- or lack thereof. The Blues came at opponents in waves during the regular season and seemed to have a perfect blend of youth and experience.

But it’s all gone away against the Kings. For the playoffs overall, forward Andy McDonald has been great with five goals and 10 points. No one else has more than three goals.

Waiting on Carter

There’s no reason to be concerned when you're winning at this kind of rate, but surely the Kings are expecting more out of forward Jeff Carter, traded to Los Angeles at the deadline from Columbus. But perhaps it's shouldn't be too surprising.

Carter has one goal and four points in eight postseason games, but he's still firing away. He's third on the team with 23 shots and he's at his best when his team has a lead, so a turnaround might be in store.

But it's not like this is foreign territory for him. In Philadelphia's 2010 run to the Stanley Cup Finals, Carter snared a lot of the credit for leading the forwards and doing the little things. His numbers weren't great then, either. Consider that the Flyers went all the way to a Game 6 against Chicago before succumbing and Carter had just seven points in the playoff run overall, posting a minus-5.

Jumpin’ Jonathan

Perhaps it's a testament to just how even the West really is, but that should not take away from anything Los Angeles goalie Jonathan Quick has accomplished.

The Kings are not your typical No. 8 seed; they are more of an upper-tier club that simply struggled during the regular season. But defeating the Presidents' Trophy winner, Vancouver, as easily as he did, and then to follow it up with a 3-0 edge on the No. 2-seeded Blues? Fairly impressive.

Quick has allowed 13 goals in eight games and has one shutout. His defense has played well in front of him and Sutter keeps his lines fresh. The surging Kings spend a lot of time on the other end of the ice, which also helps. But that doesn't change the fact that he has a 1.62 GAA and a .950 save percentage against the two best teams in the Western Conference this season.

History

St. Louis has won five of its last six games on Sundays and seven of its last nine when returning after two days’ rest. Los Angeles has won four straight and four consecutive on Sundays, as well. Two of three games in this series have gone over.

Philadelphia Flyers at New Jersey Devils (-115, 5.5)

New Jersey leads series 2-1

Flyers coach Peter Laviolette gets a lot of credit for his motivational tactics and getting the most out of his clubs at all times. That was illustrated in HBO’s “24/7” reality series leading up to this year’s Winter Classic.

Well, he’s not getting the most out of this team in this series and we’ll truly see what he’s made of, as Philadelphia tries to avoid the dreaded 3-1 hole.

Carried by Kovalchuk

Devils forward Ilya Kovalchuk simply wasn’t himself in Game 1. He didn’t have a shot on net and was a minus-2, as the Devils lost 4-3 in overtime. Clearly, something was off and it turned out to be his back. He walked around the locker room last Sunday with a pad on his back after the loss and then took Game 2 off.

New Jersey responded without its regular-season leading scorer, posting a 4-1 win in that contest, and setting up his return in Game 3. And it was worth it.

Kovalchuk had a goal and three points, including a pretty, 50-foot pass for an assist to Alexei Ponikarovsky on the overtime goal that delivered the 4-3 win. He was all over the ice and finished as a plus-2 on 31 shifts.

Much has been made of Kovalchuk and his lack of a resume at this time of year and that’s all true. But he’s building that playoff bio, step by step, and the Devils are ahead in this series as a result.

More heart from Hartnell

This was bound to happen at some point, especially because things were going so well for Flyers forward Scott Hartnell. The veteran posted 37 goals in the regular season, after never having more than 30 in any one of his 11 years in the league.

But Hartnell has come back to earth a bit in the postseason. He has just two goals and seven points in the playoffs, and is a minus-4 in this round. On Friday, when speaking with the Philadelphia media, Hartnell said the Flyers were being “outhustled,” which is surprisingly true. Surprising because he leads a gritty group of forwards who rarely are outworked for pucks in the corners, and that is happening routinely in this series.

Hartnell did have three shots on net in Game 3, so perhaps he’s about to break out. Keep that in mind tonight.

The big four-O

New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur made his NHL debut in 1992, the same year some NHL players were born. New Jersey defenseman Adam Larsson, 19, is one of them. But age doesn’t bother him and that’s a good thing, because Sunday is Brodeur’s birthday and it’s a big one at that: 40.

It’s been a long and stellar career for Brodeur, proud owner of three Stanley Cup championships. And though he’s lost a step and gives up more soft goals than he used to, the fact of the matter is this: He’s won four of his last five playoff games, including three in overtime, and he’s feeding off the emotion and energy of the younger troops in front of him.

Brodeur, many times this season, has made mention of how much fun he has playing with Kovalchuk and the likes of forwards Zach Parise and Travis Zajac. At this point, with his insinuations, it’s likely Brodeur will even return next season.

For now, he’s after the Flyers for the fifth time in his postseason career. He’s 6-3 so far in the playoffs this season, with a 2.16 GAA and one shutout.

History

The Devils have won three consecutive postseason home games, including two in overtime, and have won seven of their last eight at the Prudential Center. The Flyers have lost consecutive playoff road games, but have won five straight on Sundays. The over is 2-1 this series.

NBA Playoff Sunday: Who will and won't play

It's a star-studded Sunday of NBA playoffs, but how many stars will actually suit up?

The injury bug is really taking its toll, and we're not even through the first round. Here's the latest injury info on key players:

Joakim Noah, Chicago Bulls: The Bulls' center has a severely sprained left ankle. He is not expected to play Sunday in Game 4, or even make it back during the series. Noah left Saturday's film session on crutches and did not speak to reporters.

Josh Smith, Atlanta Hawks: Atlanta's versatile big man, who missed Game 3 with a knee injury, said he plans to play Sunday "[unless] I fall down the escalator and re-injure something." Smith did not practice Saturday but is fully expected to start over Marvin Williams.

Amare Stoudemire, New York Knicks: The frustrated forward practiced Saturday and is listed as both doubtful and a game-time decision, barring any further bouts with fire extinguisher cases. "He looked pretty good out here on the floor," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. "But again, it's not my decision. It's going to be the doctor's and his decision." Stoudemire would have to play with a large bandage on his hand, if he did try it.

Al Harrington, Denver Nuggets: Andrew Bynum's elbow broke Harrington's nose in Game 3 on Friday, but the Nuggets forward, who averaged 14.2 points in the regular season, expects to play Sunday. "I think I’m going to have to wear a mask," he said. "If it’s real uncomfortable, I’ll probably just play without it. We’ll see."

[poopoo333]

Sunday's streaking and slumping starters

STREAKING

Yu Darvish, Texas Rangers
4-0, 2.18 ERA

The 25-year-old Japanese sensation has fanned 19 batters in his last two starts covering 15 1/3 innings. He’s allowed one or zero runs in his last four starts. In fact, since a bad first inning in his major league debut, Darvish has allowed four runs over 32 innings. He gets the Indians in Cleveland on Sunday.

Brandon Beachy, Atlanta Braves
2-1, 1.38 ERA

Batters are hitting .193 against the 25-year-old right-hander, who has a fine strikeout-to-walk ratio of 22:7. He’s allowed two or fewer runs in all five of his starts entering Sunday’s visit to Coors Field. However, current Rockies are 7-for-15 against him with two homers and five RBIs.

SLUMPING

Phil Hughes, New York Yankees
1-4, 7.48 ERA

Hughes has served up seven homers in five starts, and the league is hitting .298 against him. He’s lasted five innings in only two starts. Still, Hughes is expected to keep getting the ball, at least until Andy Pettitte returns. He faces the Royals in K.C. on Sunday.

Hector Noesi, Seattle Mariners
1-3, 7.83 ERA

Like Hughes, Noesi can’t keep the ball in the park, allowing five homers in five starts. He barely has more strikeouts (13) than walks (10). While he pitched decently his last time out, giving up three runs in 5 2/3 innings vs. the Rays, Noesi must put it together soon or else he’ll be knocked out of the rotation. He gets the Twins at home Sunday.

Sunday's betting tips: Devils profitable at Prudential

Weather to watch

A 12-mph wind will be blowing in from right when the Cubs host the Dodgers on Sunday afternoon. There’s a 20 percent chance of rain; temperatures will be in the low 70s.

Who’s hot

NBA: Chicago is 4-1 ATS after scoring 75 or fewer points in its previous game.

NBA: Miami is 7-1 ATS in its last eight playoff games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5 points.

NHL: The Devils are 7-1 in their last eight home games.

MLB: Baltimore is 7-1 in Tommy Hunter’s last eight starts.

MLB: The Angels are 5-0 in Jerome Williams’ last five home starts, and 7-2 in his last nine starts on grass.

Who’s not

NBA: The favorite is 1-6 ATS in the last seven Hawks-Celtics games.

NBA: The over is 6-21 in the last 27 Lakers-Nuggets games.

NHL: St. Louis is 2-8 in its last 10 games as a road underdog.

MLB: Minnesota is 0-6 in Nick Blackburn’s last six starts.

MLB: Houston is 1-10 in its last 11 games facing St. Louis starter Adam Wainwright.

Key stat

19-1 – That’s the Celtics’ record when point guard Rajon Rondo records a triple-double. In Boston’s overtime win in Game 3, Rondo became the first player in NBA history with at least 17 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists and four steals in a playoff game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Since the start of the 2008-09 season, Rondo has posted an NBA-high 20 triple-doubles, one more than LeBron James. Rondo’s seven career playoff triple-doubles are tied with James for second-most among active players; Jason Kidd leads that category with 11.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Padres closer Huston Street strained his right shoulder while pitching in the 10th inning of Friday’s 9-8 loss to the Marlins. It is unclear how long the injury will sideline Street, who has four saves and a 0.93 ERA. He went for an MRI on Saturday. In the meantime, Andrew Cashner will move into the closer’s role.

Games of the day

Philadelphia Flyers at New Jersey Devils (-110, 5.5)

Los Angeles Lakers at Denver Nuggets (-2, 201)

Notable quotable

"The thing is, injury is part of the game. You have to have a mental toughness to get past all of that. We've had injuries all year and you just deal with it. If you look, you can find something every night, every game. Shorthanded, regular season, back to back, early start, whatever it is, or you can find a way to win. That's what you need. You need guys that have great will to win, and no matter what the circumstances are will find a way to win." – Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, whose depleted team trails 2-1 in the series to Philadelphia.

Notes and tips

Coyotes defenseman Rostislav Klesla faces a disciplinary hearing Sunday for boarding Predators winger Matt Halischuk during the first period of Game 4 on Friday night. Replays showed Klesla grabbing Halischuk’s jersey before shoving him into the boards. "I looked at it and it was a really dangerous hit in my eyes," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "How the referees or the league will view it, I can't really speak on that, but from my eyes and knowing from playing defense, drilling him when you do that whiplash effect of pulling the shirt and then driving him, it was really fortunate that Halischuk did sort of spin at the last moment." Klesla drew a two-minute penalty for boarding. Halischuk left the game but returned. With a 3-1 lead in the series, Phoenix can close it out at home on Monday.

Flyers center Sean Couturier could return to the lineup for Sunday's Game 4 in New Jersey. He injured his leg in the first period of Philly’s 4-3 OT loss on Thursday night. Analysts said the absence of Couturier, who anchors the checking line, enabled Devils winger Ilya Kovalchuk to get loose for a goal and two assists.

Cubs right-hander Matt Garza (2-1, 2.67 ERA) won’t start Sunday against the Dodgers because of the flu. Garza and infielder Jeff Baker were the latest to come down with the virus that has spread through the team’s clubhouse. Travis Wood was called up to make the spot start in Garza's place.

PHILADELPHIA FLYERS vs. NEW JERSEY DEVILS (May 6 7:35 PM)

PHILADELPHIA FLYERS (-1)

Philadelphia is a perfect 15-0 this season when coming off a 1-goal loss in their previous game. The Flyers outscored their opponents by an average of 2.8 goals per game in those 15 contests. The Flyers have been resilient all season long going 28-9 after a loss, including 13-3 off a road loss, and 9-0 if the loss occurred in overtime. Martin Brodeur will be a first ballot hall of fame selection but tomorrow he will be hard pressed to keep a desperate and high powered offensive club like the Flyers in check. Play on the Philadelphia Flyers.

Hondo

Hondo’s action-packed day ended with a small loss yesterday as he hit with the Dodgers and White Sox but missed with the Blue Jays, D’backs and Creative Cause, as well as his Creative Cause-Hansen-Trinniberg exacta box. As a result of those results, the IOUs grew to 900 cepedas.

Today, don’t mark him down for a Marcum play -- 10 units on Cain to be gigantic.

Atlanta +205/+5½ over BOSTON

Every game these two have played over the past year has been close. In fact, dating back to April of 2011 and over seven games including this year’s playoffs, the biggest margin of victory has been nine points and that was in game one of these playoffs. Two of those have gone into OT and four of them have been decided by five or less. Now with a total of 171½ and with Josh Smith’s likely return, the Hawks are being offered significant points in a game they can not only stay within range but could win outright. One could argue that the Hawks could be up 3-0 in this series as oppose to being down 2-1. They lost the last game in OT, they had the C’s on the ropes in game 2 and were in complete control in the opener. All the value is on Atlanta here, as Boston simply does not warrant this tag and so we’ll play the Hawks both on the point-spread and money line. Play: Atlanta +5½ (Risking 1.09 units to win 1) Play: Atlanta +205 (Risking 1 unit).

Denver -2 over L.A. LAKERS

A confidence boost is exactly what the doctor ordered for the Nuggets and they got a big one in game three when they jumped out to a 41-17 lead and held off a furious Laker rally. The entire series now has a different feel, as the Nuggets are in position to even it up. L.A. has a decided edge in the low post with Andrew Bynum but that’s where any edge they have ends. The Nuggets are much quicker and they have the NBA’s best bench. The deficiencies of the Lakers' bench were bound to be exposed at some point and the Nuggets were the first to put this glaring weakness on full display. Denver’s bench manhandled the Lakers' second unit, outscoring it 39-9 in game three and there’s likely more of that to come here. The longer this series goes and the more minutes Kobe plays, the bigger toll it will take on a guy that has played far too many minutes over the past four months. The Lakers have been prone to big runs against all season long on the road and suffered its worst one in game three when Denver went on a 28-2 run. The Lakers' starters need some help and at this point it's unclear where that will come from. Line is cheap as a direct result of the Lakers enormous popularity with the betting public and once again we can take advantage. Play: Denver -2 (Risking 2.2 units to win 2).

Arizona +101 over N.Y. METS

The thing you have to love about Trevor Cahill is that he’s an extreme groundball pitcher and that gives him a great chance to pitch deep into games and pile up the W’s. Cahill has a 64% groundball rate and what that also does is keep the ball in the park and makes every hitter a potential double-play candidate. In 32 innings, Cahill has been taken yard just one time. The D-Backs have won three of his five starts with his only disaster outing being against Atlanta. He’ll face a laboring Mets team that has dropped four of five and that is hitting just .242 over their past five games and .242 over their past 10 as well. The fact that R.A. Dickey emerged as a big league regular in his mid-30s and throws a knuckler might make some wonder if he's going to turn into a pumpkin soon. But consider that he's tossed 400 innings in a Mets uniform over the past two seasons with few bad starts. He gets lots of ground balls, strikes out almost six per game and has excellent control. Maybe it's time to believe. However, he’s allowed at least one jack in every game thus far and has already been tagged for seven bombs. Other than that he’s pitched well and that allows us to take back a small tag on a warm Snakes club with a pitcher who is very difficult to go yard against. Play: Arizona +101 (Risking 2 units).

Philadelphia +106 over WASHINGTON

Ryan Zimmerman is a tough pitcher. He’s had one quality start after another this season and owns a stellar 1.89 ERA. He’s walked just three batters in 33.1 innings while strikeout out 22. However, he’s also a hard luck pitcher that rarely gets run support and that has just 13 wins over 54 major league starts. There’s no explanation for it and it has to play on one’s mind after a while. Zimmerman opposes Cole Hamels here and is probably thinking he has to be near perfect to win. He might be right. Hamels is among the elite pitchers in the game and is pitching for a contract next season when he becomes an unrestricted free agent. The Phillies have won his last four starts. Hamels has struck out 36 while walking five in 32.1 innings. The guy is the straight goods and anytime we can take back a tag with Cole Hamels going, it’s a bet we’ll make just about every time. Against this anemic offense, it’s a bet that must be made. Play: Philadelphia +106 (Risking 2 units).

NEW JERSEY -105 over Philadelphia

The Flyers really seem to be running out of gas. They beat the Penguins in a series they weren’t supposed to win and that round one victory appears to have taken too big an emotional toll. Against the Devils, Philadelphia has been outclassed, outhit, outhustled and there’s no reason to believe things will change here. The scores have been close on paper but have not told the true story of what has transpired on the ice in this series. From the opening faceoff of game one, New Jersey has clearly been the better team in every way and that includes game two without Ilya Kovalchuk. Today’s line does not reflect that one bit and it’s for that reason we’ll confidently step in and play the home team in a game they should be favored by more than a nickel in. Definite underlay. Play: New Jersey -105 (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).

Atlanta Hawks at Boston Celtics
Prediction: Atlanta Hawks

10* graded play on the Atlanta Hawks as they take on the Boston Celtics set to start at 7:00 PM ET in their first round playoff matchup in the Eastern Conference. The simulator shows a high probability that Atlanta will lose this game by five or fewer points and have an excellent shot at winning the game and tying the series at two games apiece.

Boston leads the series two-game-to-one, but it took overtime to get the win in Game 3. Boston and Atlanta have had significant injuries on their squad all season and the toll is showing particularly with the Celtics club. Boston head coach Doc Rivers gave the team off Saturday , which is very rare in playoff action since it was the only day that they had to practice.

Ryan Allen came back Friday after not playing since April 10 and was a big lift for the Celtics, especially in the second half of Friday?s win. Avery Bradley went down with a shoulder injury and Allen logged in 38 key minutes Friday. Bradley has had the shoulder issue all season and trainers are able to ?snap? it back in place most of the time. This is just one example of the series of nagging injuries affecting the Celtics and the Hawks squads in the shortened and compacted 66-game schedule.

The biggest factor is Atlanta is younger and will recover faster in the day-to-day grind of the NBA playoffs. I think it speaks volumes that Rivers gave the team a complete day off as it may be his only chance to win this series if the team is given as much rest as possible. I just don?t see Boston being able to get through this series and advance with this series tied at 2-2 and becoming a bet-of-three series.

Boston has the second best scoring defense in the NBA allowing 89.0 points per game on the season. They have held Atlanta to two straight games shooting under 40%, but I see Atlanta making the adjustments and will shoot far better in this game. One of those adjustments is that looking to create more fast break scoring opportunities off of missed Boston Celtic shots attempts.

The Hawks rank sixth in the NBA averaging 15.9 fast break points per game on the season. Boston ranks fifth in the NBA allowing 11.7 fast break points per game,, but I strongly believe that Atlanta will be able to attack early in this game looking to wear down the aged Celtics. The more running the Hawks execute, even without ending the break with a score, will slowly wear down the Celtics starting five.

In watching the game, look for the when the majority of perimeter shots begin to be short for the Celtics. This is the first and most prevalent sign of fatigue in basketball and that is when Atlanta can put the peddle to the metal and run the Celtics off the court.

Boston is one of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA ranking 29th and averaging 46.8 rebounds per game. Atlanta is not that much better ranking 22nd and averaging 49.6 boards per game. However, Atlanta can focus on minimizing Boston?s second chance scoring opportunities knowing that Boston ranks dead last in the NBA at 30th averaging just 7.6 offensive boards per game. So, Atlanta will do a great job defending their glass and preventing Boston from getting second chance scoring opportunities.

For Atlanta, forward Josh Smith, is listed as probable for this game with a knee injury. Tracy McGrady, who had a huge Game 3, before rolling an ankle on the heel of Rondo after a three point shot attempt, is listed as probable. Cebnter, Zaza Pachulia is listed as doubtful with s foot injury.

For Boston, guard Ray Allen is probable for Sunday?s game with a tender ankle. He played 38 minutes on that ankle and at his age, it does become difficult to come back from a game like was played on Friday. Avery Bradley will play, but is listed as questionable with the shoulder injury.

The Bottom line is that ATlanta is younger, faster, and has the personnel and bench to wear down the Celtics in the second half of this game. Atlanta will look to force the pace of play on every opportunity and I strongly believe they will be successful and win the game.

Take the Atlanta Hawks for a 10* graded Titan play.

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets

Well, it looks like we now have a series in the three-seed vs. six-seed
matchup in the Western Conference, as the Denver Nuggets (39-30, 38-31 ATS)
took Game 3 at home 99-84 on Friday after the Los Angeles Lakers (43-26, 29-40
ATS) took the first two game at Staples Center. That makes the Nuggets 7-1
in their last eight home games and they will try and stay hot and even this
series up in Game 4 from the Pepsi Center in Denver, CO on Sunday night at
9:30 ET on TNT.

Not to take anything away from Denver's performance in Game 3, but the
Lakers did not come out with the same intensity they showed in Los Angeles, and
thus the Nuggets ran them out of the building early while building up an
incredible 41-17 lead. Still, give the Lakers credit for fighting back as they
actually had the deficit down to four points in the fourth quarter before
Denver pulled away again late. Los Angeles ended up shooting just 37.2 percent
for the game, and once again, the bench was a no-show despite playing more
minutes due to the altitude. The bench totaled only nine points, as Matt
Barnes scored six points in 20 minutes. Steve Blake was even worse scoring
three points in 27 minutes and Jordan Hill was scoreless in 13 minutes. As for
the starters, Kobe Bryant was the leading scorer as usual but he was not his
dominant self with 22 points on just 7-of-23 shooting. While the Lakers
figure to get off to a better start in Game 4 since they do not figure to be as
passive as when they were while playing with a 2-0 series lead, they still
probably need to get some production from the bench, as once again the
Nuggets figure to run a lot in the altitude and the LA starters could get gassed
fairly quickly without some extended rests.

Surprisingly, the Nuggets shot only 39.8 percent in Friday's victory, but
they also had 15 more field goal attempts (93 to 78) as they committed only
seven turnovers in the entire game compared to 15 by the Lakers. This is a
team that actually lost 13 games at home this season but you would not know it
from its recent performances here as four of their last five home wins have
now been by at least 15 points. The Nuggets led the NBA in scoring during
the regular season at 104.1 points per game while ranking a dismal 29th in
defense allowing 101.2 points per contest, but they have actually stepped
things up on defense here at home lately, just in time for the playoffs. Denver
has kept its opponents below 100 points in five of its last six home wins
and Game 3 marked the fourth time in those five occasions that it has held
teams below 90 points.

It would appear that defense has usually ruled the day when these clubs
have gotten together in recent years, as Friday's result brought the 'under' to
an amazing 23-7 in the last 30 head-to-head meetings. Then again, those
games have averaged 202.5 combined total points, so the success of the 'under'
has had as much to do with inflated totals as it has with stiff defense.

Pick: LA LAKERS+2

Game: Chicago White Sox at Detroit (1:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: Detroit -160 (moneyline)

The stumbling White Sox are on a 3-8 run and play Game 3 of a seven-game road trip. Offense is a problem for Chicago, No. 17 in runs scored, No. 19 in on-base percentage and batting average. Chicago goes with 26-year-old righty Dylan Axelrod, and the Tigers are 35-16 in their last 51 games vs. a right-handed starter. They are also 47-14 in their last 61 games as a favorite of -151 to -200 and go with Rick Porcello (2-2). He has already shut down Chicago this season with a win and a 1.17 ERA against them in 7+ innings, only five hits allowed and no walks. The Tigers are 18-6 in Porcello's last 24 starts as a favorite and 4-0 in Porcello's last four starts against the White Sox. When these teams meet, the White Sox are 8-21 in the last 29 meetings, including 1-5 in the last six meetings in Detroit. Play Detroit.

PHILADELPHIA FLYERS vs. NEW JERSEY DEVILS (May 6 7:35 PM)

PHILADELPHIA FLYERS (-1)

Philadelphia is a perfect 15-0 this season when coming off a 1-goal loss in their previous game. The Flyers outscored their opponents by an average of 2.8 goals per game in those 15 contests. The Flyers have been resilient all season long going 28-9 after a loss, including 13-3 off a road loss, and 9-0 if the loss occurred in overtime. Martin Brodeur will be a first ballot hall of fame selection but tomorrow he will be hard pressed to keep a desperate and high powered offensive club like the Flyers in check. Play on the Philadelphia Flyers.

Ross' Sunday Night NBA 50* Best Bet Nuggets/Lakers!

LOS ANGELES LAKERS vs. DENVER NUGGETS (May 6 9:35 PM)

DENVER NUGGETS (-2.0) (-1.1)

The Nuggets always have a bit more of edge because of the altitude in the Mike High City, and that's just extra juice versus a Lakers team that's just 15-19 SU and a dismal 11-22-1 ATS on the road this season. Denver is a very profitable 8-1 ATS this season when playing just their 2nd game in 5 days. The Nuggets outscored those 9 opponents by an average of 11.0 ppg.

Any home favorite or underdog of 3.0 or less that averages 103 or more points per game, and they're facing an opponent of a loss by 10 points or more is 34-12 ATS (74.1%) ATS since the start of the 1996-1997 season. Play on the Denver Nuggets.

ATLANTA BRAVES vs. COLORADO ROCKIES (May 6 3:10 PM)

ATLANTA BRAVES (-1) (B BEACHY)

The Atlanta starter Brandon Beachy has been superb this season posting a 1.38 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 5 starts. The Colorado starter Juan Nicasio has been very shaky in 3 home starts this season posting a lofty 7.20 ERA and 1.87 WHIP. Atlanta is a perfect 8-0 this season after their previous 2 games went over the total. The Braves are hitting a red-hot .295 as a team over their last 7 games. Colorado is a dismal 1-9 the last 2 seasons after scoring 7 or more runs in each of their previous 2 games. Colorado is also a horrible 6-21 the last 2 seasons versus a starting pitcher that averages 6.5 innings or more per start on the season.

Any road team that's facing a National League opponent that's allowing 4.8 runs or more per game on the season, and they've scored 6 or more runs in each of their last 5 games is 37-12 (75.5%) since the start of the 1997 season. Play on the Atlanta Braves.

Miami is 14-3 over the last 2 seasons versus teams with a winning percentage of .380 or less. The Miami starter Ricky Nolasco has been rock solid this season going 4-1 in his team starts with a stellar 2.76 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. Nolasco is 14-4 in his career team starts versus teams from the NL West. San Diego is 11-28 the last 2 seasons as a home favorite or underdog of 125 or less.

Any team that's coming off 5 or more wins in a row that has a winning percentage of between .460-.490 versus a team with a losing record is 89-44 (66.9%) since the start of the 1997 season. Play on the Miami Marlins.

LOS ANGELES ANGELS (-1) (J WILLIAMS)

The Toronto starter Drew Hutchinson enter today in bad form off his first 3 starts of the season posting a lofty 6.61 ERA and 1.65 WHIP. The Angels starter Jerome Williams enters in terrific form off his last 3 starts in posting a 1.99 ERA and 0.88 WHIP. In 1 start versus the Blue Jays last season Williams allowed 0 earned runs and 6 hits in 6.3 innings of work. The Angels are well overdue to get it going.
