Grizzlies at Clippers: What bettors need to know

Memphis Grizzlies at Los Angeles Clippers (-5, 180)

Best-of-seven series tied 2-2.

The road team has yet to win in this Western Conference first-round series and the Memphis Grizzlies would like to change that when they visit the Los Angeles Clippers in Tuesday’s Game 5. Los Angeles opened the series with two home victories before the Grizzlies took the next two in Memphis to even the series. The Clippers averaged 102.5 points in their home wins and just 82.5 in their two losses. The Grizzlies’ wins were by a combined 33 points.

Memphis nearly notched a road victory in Game 2 but Chris Paul hit the game-winning basket with one-tenth of a second remaining. A victory in Game 5 would give the Grizzlies a chance to sew up the series at home in Game 6. “You can’t win a series without winning in L.A.,” Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said after Game 4. The Clippers appeared superior to the Grizzlies in their home wins and then were severely outmatched on the road. “We’ve got to take care of business in Game 5 at home in front of our fans,” Los Angeles coach Vinny Del Negro said after the 104-83 loss on Saturday. “But there’s no question we’re going to have to get back to playing the way we did the first couple games.”

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, TNT, Fox Sports Tennessee (Memphis), Prime Ticket (Los Angeles)

ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES: Center Marc Gasol (24 points, 13 rebounds) and power forward Zach Randolph (24 points, nine rebounds) each had strong performances in Game 4 after being relatively quiet through the first three games. The double-double was Gasol’s first of the series while Randolph has put together back-to-back stellar outings after playing poorly in Los Angeles. Point guard Mike Conley had 23 assists against two turnovers in the two Memphis wins as he outplayed Paul. “I try to contain him as much as possible, but Mike is one of those guys that year-in and year-out just keeps getting better,” Paul said. “He’s a handful.” Conley set a Grizzlies’ postseason record with 13 assists in Game 4.

ABOUT THE CLIPPERS: Paul and Blake Griffin each had 19 points in Saturday’s loss and could use some help from the other three starters. Center DeAndre Jordan had two points while forward Caron Butler and guard Chauncey Billups were both scoreless as the trio went a combined 1-of-13 from the field. The potent bench has also been struggling. Sixth man Jamal Crawford was just 7-of-21 shooting in the two road games and forward Matt Barnes was 5-of-14. Guard Eric Bledsoe was 3-for-12 after being 10-of-13 from the field in the two games in Los Angeles while forward Lamar Odom (6-of-17) has been subpar throughout the series.

TRENDS:

* Grizzlies are 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall.
* Clippers are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games.
* Over is 7-1 in Clippers’ last eight home games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Grizzlies set a franchise postseason mark with the 21-point Game 4 victory. The previous top margin of victory was 18 points over San Antonio during the 2011 playoffs.

2. Griffin grabbed 10 rebounds in Game 4 for his first double-double since April 7.

3. Memphis was 15-3 during the regular season when Gasol notched a double-double.

Tuesday Starters with a Combined 17-2 UNDER Record

Here's a look at four MLB starters taking the hill on Tuesday who combined have a 17-2 under record and have made $1,352.31 for $100 bettors in their 19 starts:

Jose Quintana, Chicago White Sox (2-0, 2.78 ERA, 1-3 O/U)

Since getting torched for five earned runs in four innings in his first start, Quintana has given up only two earned runs in his next three starts. He hasn't allowed a home run to 94 consecutive batters.

Kevin Slowey, Miami Marlins (0-2, 2.43 ERA, 0-5 O/U)

Slowey's under record is strengthened by his offense giving him six runs of support in his five starts, but the under will usually stay strong when you yield only eight earned runs in those outings. Slowey has displayed pinpoint control, walking only six batters this campaign.

Trevor Cahill, Arizona Diamondbacks (1-3, 3.00 ERA, 0-5 O/U)

The lowest total Cahill has seen this season is 8.5, but he has gone well under that in his four other starts. Cahill gave up no earned runs in two outings and 10 earned runs in his other three starts combined.

Jorge De La Rosa, Colorado Rockies (2-2, 2.86 ERA, 1-4 O/U)

De La Rosa's last four starts have been eerily similar. He pitched six innings, giving up a combined five earned runs, and has given up an average of 4.3 hits per outing, with each game going under. The Rockies' offense has scored only 10 runs in his last four starts.

DAVE ESSLER

MLB Cliff Notes Tuesday

Mets at Miami: Hefner shut down the Dodgers, but everyone does that. He's not gonna pitch deep and the Marlins owe him one from his first start of the season. Because Wright may not be back, it's the Fish or nothing.

Washington at Atlanta: I've been leary of Hudson most of the year as I do think he's wearing down, but he had a way of coming up big. Gio has been Gio most of the year, but I have to think he avenges his only loss this season. Braves pen has been underperforming and with Ramos back I like the Nationals.

Padres at Cubs: Shocking to see the Cubs -145 over too many people, and simply by process of elimination I would take the Padres. How the mighty (Volquez) have fallen, but he has pitched against either good or hot teams, shut down Milwaukee, and has been keeping the ball on the ground.

Pirates at Brewers: Estrada a very under rated pitcher (1.29 WHIP) but he does give up the long ball. MacDonald is feast or famine and has been owned by the Brewers. Lean Brewers and over, if the roof is open, but if it's closed there's a stiff breeze blowing in from right, so in that case, under.

Reds at Cardinals: Both Arroyo's beatings have come on the road, so there is no chance of taking Cincinnati. However, I am always wrong on the Reds, and even factoring in his bad starts his WHIP is 1.09. Perhaps. If nothing else Garcia typically keeps the ball in the park, and has typically been better at home.

Giants at Arizona: I'd normally not look much further than Bumgarners' 0.89 WHIP and be done with it, especially with the D-Backs injuries, and that's against Cahill who has been brutalized on the road. Giants pen has been great at home and not so much on the road. I still like the under in this one, and the Giants.

Rockies at Dodgers: Tempted to make the auto-under bet with tow lefties in Dodger Stadium at night. De La Rosa has pitched well in every game and Ryu can get the ball up at times. Rockies and under.

Houston at Yankees: We aren't laying -300 but could use them in a parlay somewhere. No chance of taking the over because we might need the Yankees to get all nine and they won't get the ninth at bat. Humber hasn't pitched five inning total in his last two starts, so his stock is the lowest in the league. Since he has pitched well against the Yankees, the RL or even a flyer on +280 isn't out of the question.

Minnesota at Detroit: Interesting that Verlander is .60 less against a pitcher like Worley who's been lit up. He pitched decent in his last two games, but threw over 100 pitches in both of them. Not many teams know Verlander as well as the Twins, so nothing would surprise me here. Lean under simply because of the wind and JV, but the Tigers could well get all of them.

Boston at Toronto: So Toronto hasn't been hitting very well, and my guess is that Lester wakes the bats up, simply because they owe him one and are rested. The bad news is Morrow has been terrible and threw 112 pitches last game. Almost have to lean over in this one.

White Sox at Texas: There is no chance of laying -200 with Darvish against a team like Chicago that CAN score a ton of runs via the long ball. It is warm in Dallas but the wind is blowing in pretty hard from right, so I could clearly see taking the under here, with a flyer on Quintana and the White Sox bullpen. All those -200 favorites won't all win. They never do.

Tampa Bay at Kansas City: I'd love to take the suddenly hot-hitting Rays but not against Shields, whose pitching against his old team. Wanted to take the under here, but there's a big boy breeze blowing out to left and it's warming up in KC, so I might think about the over, especially at 7.5 (+105) or so.

NHL Eastern Conference Playoff Preview: Round 1

The Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins were the runaway favorites to come out of the East and compete for Lord Stanley's mug a little over a month ago, but the balance of power evened out a bit in the NHL’s Eastern Conference during the final month of the shortened campaign.

Here's our Eastern Conference playoff preview:

No. 1 Pittsburgh Penguins vs. No. 8 New York Islanders

Season series: Penguins won 4-1 SU, 2-2-1 over/under

Season prices: Penguins -600, Islanders +400

Why bet the Penguins: The Penguins have been the Stanley Cup favorites since odds were released and appear to be the beasts in the East. Even injuries to key cogs Evgeni Malkin, James Neal and captain Sidney Crosby didn’t slow the Pittsburgh attack down the stretch. The Pens have taken the last four meetings with the Islanders by a combined score of 16-5 and Crosby is on the mend.

Why bet the Islanders: The Islanders are huge underdogs in the series and have nothing to lose. John Tavares will be considered for the Hart Trophy after accumulating 47 points in 48 games and they can lean on the playoff experience of veteran goaltender Evgeni Nabokov.

No. 2 Montreal Canadiens vs. No. 7 Ottawa Senators

Season series: Tied 2-2 SU, 2-2 over/under

Season prices: Canadiens -200, Senators +160

Why bet the Canadiens: The Canadiens can rely on three lines to produce offense. Eight of Montreal’s nine forwards that make up those lines tallied at least 25 points during the regular season. The Habs will also feel like they have home advantage in every game of the series, as their raucous supporters will surely make the short trip to Ottawa to drown out Ottawa’s notoriously weak fan base.

Why bet the Senators: Craig Anderson. The Ottawa netminder led the league with a 1.69 GAA and .941 save percentage. Also, the return of reigning Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson (Achilles) to the lineup has given the squad a huge morale boost heading into the playoffs.

No. 3 Washington Capitals vs. No. 6 New York Rangers

Season series: Tied 1-1 SU , 0-1-1 over/under

Season prices: Capitals -115, Rangers -115

Why bet the Capitals: The Caps aren’t getting much respect for prevailing out of the weak Southeast Division, but that could work to their advantage. Washington has failed miserably in past seasons in the role of the favorite and has been building some serious momentum down the stretch. The Capitals picked up wins in 11 of their final 13 games and Alex Ovechkin seems to have his head back in the game after a slow start.

Why bet the Rangers: The Rangers also thrived down the stretch, snatching wins in 10 of their final 14 contests (10-3-1). New York has a distinct advantage in goal with Henrik Lundqvist, who finished the season with a 2.05 GAA and .926 save percentage. These squads played an unforgettable second-round series in last year’s playoffs where every game but the first was decided by a single goal.

No. 4 Boston Bruins vs. No. 5 Toronto Maple Leafs

Season series: Bruins won 3-1 SU, 1-2-1 over/under

Season prices: Bruins -280, Maple Leafs +210

Why bet the Bruins: The Bruins took all six meetings with Toronto last season, outscoring the Leafs 36-10. And Boston took three of four from Toronto this year. The Bruins struggled down the stretch, but this physical team is built for the playoffs and has the ability to wear down any opponent.

Why bet the Maple Leafs: The Bruins are losers of seven of their last nine and have had very little rest down the stretch. Sunday’s finale with the Senators was their sixth game in eight days, which could work to the Maple Leafs' advantage. Toronto is playoff-bound for the first time since 2004 and has nearly 10 years’ worth of frustrations to take out on its opponents.

NHL Western Conference Playoff Preview: Round 1

The NHL’s Western Conference playoffs are seemingly always a crapshoot because very little separates all eight teams that qualify for the playoffs.

The Los Angeles Kings were the darlings of last year’s playoffs and are back to defend their Stanley Cup title as the No. 5 seed, but everyone is talking about the Chicago Blackhawks and their dominance on ice this season.

Here is our Western Conference playoff preview:

No. 1 Chicago Blackhawks vs. No. 8 Minnesota Wild

Season series: Blackhawks won 3-2 SU, 1-4 over/under

Series prices: Wild +325, Blackhawks -450

Why bet the Blackhawks: The Blackhawks are the Presidents’ Trophy winners for establishing the league’s best regular-season record. Chicago allowed a league-low two goals per game while netting 3.1 markers – the second-highest output in the NHL.

Why bet the Wild: The Wild haven't appeared in the playoffs since the 2007-08 season so their faithful are starved for playoff hockey. The frenzied Minnesota crowd is sure to make life difficult for Chicago at the Xcel Energy Center. The Wild outhit the Blackhawks in all three meetings (66-38 overall) and could wear down Chicago in a long series. The Blackhawks have lost in the first round of the playoffs the last two seasons after winning the Stanley Cup in 2010.

No. 2 Anaheim Ducks vs. No. 7 Detroit Red Wings

Season series: Red Wings won 2-1 SU, 2-1 over/under

Series prices: Red Wings +110, Ducks -140

Why bet the Ducks: The Ducks are the Pacific Division champs and boast a two-headed monster in goal. Jonas Hiller and Viktor Fasth form a formidable one-two punch and coach Bruce Boudreau won’t hesitate to pull the trigger on a goaltender switch at any point in the series.

Why bet the Red Wings: The Wings have already been playing playoff-style hockey down the stretch in order to qualify for their 22nd consecutive postseason. Goaltender Jimmy Howard has posted two shutouts during Detroit’s current four-game win streak.

No. 3 Vancouver Canucks vs. No. 6 San Jose Sharks

Season series: Sharks won 3-0 SU, 0-1-2 over/under

Series prices: Sharks +110, Canucks -140

Why bet the Canucks: When these squads last squared off in a playoff series two years ago during Vancouver's run to the Stanley Cup final, the Sharks had a significantly higher physical component going for them, with the likes of Ryane Clowe, Douglas Murray and Jamie McGinn. Vancouver has struggled against physical opponents at times throughout the regular season, but shouldn't be pushed around by San Jose. The Canucks have been cup contenders for the past few seasons, and boast a roster loaded with plenty of playoff experience.

Why bet the Sharks: The Sharks have one distinct advantage over the Canucks - a goaltender that boasts a Stanley Cup ring. Antti Niemi has been carrying the team all season long and has been there and done that in the NHL postseason. The Sharks also have an experienced core of forwards such as Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau, and Joe Pavelski that will be out to change their reputations as chokers in the postseason.

No. 4 St. Louis Blues vs. No. 5 Los Angeles Kings

Season series: Kings won 3-0 SU, 2-0-1 over/under

Series prices: Kings -120, Blues -110

Why bet the Blues: The Blues fought hard down the stretch and won 12 of their final 15 contests to earn home-ice in the first round. They also have a hot goalie. Brian Elliott has returned to form, allowing just 16 goals in April on 305 shots (.948 save percentage). He also led the NHL in April with 11 wins and a 1.28 goals-against average.

Why bet the Kings: The Kings are the defending Stanley Cup champs. Los Angeles made history as the No. 8 seed last season and not having home-ice in any of the four rounds didn’t matter. The Kings will also welcome back captain Dustin Brown for Game 1 after he served a two-game suspension for an elbow on Minnesota’s Jason Pominville.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Blackhawks' Bolland, Emery out for Game 1

Chicago Blackhawks forward Dave Bolland and goaltender Ray Emery will not suit up against the Minnesota Wild in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series Tuesday.

Both players are suffering from lower-body injuries and are considered day-to-day, according to Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville.

Bolland, who is a key two-way forward for the Hawks, has missed three consecutive games since sustaining the injury against the Vancouver Canucks on April 22. He has seven goals and seven helpers in 35 contests.

Emery has missed two straight games and Quenneville has announced that Henrik Karlsson will serve as backup to first-string goaltender Corey Crawford for Game 1. Emery has a 17-1-0 record with a 1.94 goals-against average and a .922 save percentage this campaign.

The Hawks opened as high as -250 favorites on the moneyline at some books and that number has been bet down to -220 as of Monday evening.

The total is set at 5.

Champions League semis: Second leg betting notes

Since the 2003-04 Champions League season, 12 teams have won the first leg by three or more goals, as Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund did last week. Those teams are 8-1-3 in the second leg (67 percent).

The chances of either Barcelona or Real Madrid overturning the deficit is even more remote. In the 138 knockout ties since 2003-04, the only club to advance after losing the first leg by three or more goals is Deportivo La Coruna in 2004. It lost the first leg 4-1 to AC Milan, and won 4-0 at home in the second leg to win the tie 5-4.

Here's the odds and notes for the second leg of the Champions League semifinals courtesy of Bet365.com:

Real Madrid v Borussia Dortmund -154 +350 +400

* Real Madrid will advance to the final if it wins 3-0. If Real Madrid leads 4-1 on the night after 90 minutes, then the tie will go into extra time, if no goal is scored in extra time, the tie will be decided by penalties. If Dortmund scores twice, Madrid has to score six.

* Dortmund hasn't lost in its last nine matches (8-1-0) in all competitions.

* Dortmund has lost only one match by more than three goals this season, 4-1 to Hamburg in the Bundesliga on Februrary 9.

* Real Madrid has won 17 matches in all competitions by at least three goals, including three Champions League games.

* Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski, who scored all four goals for Dortmund in the first leg, has scored 21 goals in his last 20 appearances for the club.

* Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo is fit to play after missing Saturday's 2-1 win against Atletico Madrid with a thigh problem.

Barcelona v Bayern Munich -110 +320 +280

* Barcelona has to beat Bayern Munich by five goals to qualify for the final. A 4-0 Barcelona win after 90 minutes will take the tie to extra time, and if no goal is scored in extra time, the tie will be decided by penalties. If Bayern scores once, Barcelona has to score six goals.

* Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquetes is in a fitness race to play on Wednesday. He missed Saturday's La Liga game against Athletic Bilbao with a groin problem and did not train on Sunday.

* Bayern Munich has won 10 games in a row and 21 of its last 22 matches in all competitions.

* Barcelona fullback Jordi Alba is suspended for the second leg and defender Javier Mascherano is also expected to miss out. Marc Bartra, who struggled in the first leg, is expected to partner Gerard Pique in the center of defense.

* Barcelona has won 10 games this year in all competitions by four goals.

* Bayern Munich hasn't lost a game in any competition by four goals or more since April 8, 2009. (Barcelona 4 Bayern Munich 0)

Butler-Jordan-Billups combined to go 1-13 last game; LA needs much more, obviously; there is immense pressure on Clippers to win here. Clippers made 22-78 from arc in series- so far in series, their FG% has gone from 55.4% to 47.4% to 38.8% to 41.0% in series- they need more easy baskets. Memphis outrebounded LA by 27 in last three games, after being -24 in Game 1. Clippers have taken 32 less FTs than Griz so far in this series.

Tuesday NBA & MLB

Warriors +7.5 over Nuggets
At what point in this series have the Nuggets dominated enough to be a 7.5 pt favorite. The Warriors are making all of their shots and its hard to beat up on a hot shooting team. Some teams just matchup better against other teams. Golden State seems to have an advantage in this series. Home court means a lot and there was no better team in the regular season, but the Nuggets have not been dominate at home and I just don't see them blowing Golden State out if they do win the game. Take the Warriors.

Memphis +5 over Clippers
Memphis really has dominated the boards in this series other than game 1 in which they did not show up to play in. This Grizzles team is physical and are getting to the foul line a lot more than the Clippers are. L.A is not a great foul shooting team however they have really shot the ball well from the charity stripe this series and still are not dominating. I think this is a series in which home court means just about everything, but there is something I really like about this Memphis team and to me they seem ready to take that next step into round 2. This game is going to be a battle in which I believe will be won in the final minute. I like the points. Take Memphis.

Red Sox -130 over Blue Jays
Lester/Morrow
The Red Sox are hitting the ball well, Lester is off to a hot start and this bullpen is rock solid. The Bluejays are only 1-6 against left handed pitching and it wont be easy for them today against Lester as they could not touch him earlier this year. Look for Boston to take this with ease. Take the Red Sox

Champions League Semis

Second Leg Betting Notes

Since the 2003-04 Champions League season, 12 teams have won the first leg by three or more goals, as Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund did last week. Those teams are 8-1-3 in the second leg (67 percent).

The chances of either Barcelona or Real Madrid overturning the deficit is even more remote. In the 138 knockout ties since 2003-04, the only club to advance after losing the first leg by three or more goals is Deportivo La Coruna in 2004. It lost the first leg 4-1 to AC Milan, and won 4-0 at home in the second leg to win the tie 5-4.

Here's the odds and notes for the second leg of the Champions League semifinals:

Real Madrid v Borussia Dortmund -175 +375 +450

* Real Madrid will advance to the final if it wins 3-0. If Real Madrid leads 4-1 on the night after 90 minutes, then the tie will go into extra time, if no goal is scored in extra time, the tie will be decided by penalties. If Dortmund scores twice, Madrid has to score six.

* Dortmund hasn't lost in its last nine matches (8-1-0) in all competitions.

* Dortmund has lost only one match by more than three goals this season, 4-1 to Hamburg in the Bundesliga on Februrary 9.

* Real Madrid has won 17 matches in all competitions by at least three goals, including three Champions League games.

* Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski, who scored all four goals for Dortmund in the first leg, has scored 21 goals in his last 20 appearances for the club.

* Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo is fit to play after missing Saturday's 2-1 win against Atletico Madrid with a thigh problem.

Barcelona v Bayern Munich -120 +320 +320

* Barcelona has to beat Bayern Munich by five goals to qualify for the final. A 4-0 Barcelona win after 90 minutes will take the tie to extra time, and if no goal is scored in extra time, the tie will be decided by penalties. If Bayern scores once, Barcelona has to score six goals.

* Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquetes is in a fitness race to play on Wednesday. He missed Saturday's La Liga game against Athletic Bilbao with a groin problem and did not train on Sunday.

* Bayern Munich has won 10 games in a row and 21 of its last 22 matches in all competitions.

* Barcelona fullback Jordi Alba is suspended for the second leg and defender Javier Mascherano is also expected to miss out. Marc Bartra, who struggled in the first leg, is expected to partner Gerard Pique in the center of defense.

* Barcelona has won 10 games this year in all competitions by four goals.

* Bayern Munich hasn't lost a game in any competition by four goals or more since April 8, 2009. (Barcelona 4 Bayern Munich 0)

Game: Detroit at Anaheim (10:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: Detroit +130 (moneyline)

The Detroit Red Wings will be making their 22nd consecutive playoffs appearance, as they open on the road in Anaheim. The Wings had to win their last four to get here, but having done so, their playoffs experience gives them an edge. Anaheim got off to a very strong start, which was hidden by the long streak of the Chicago Blackhawks. The Ducks opened 22-3-4 through 29 games, but it was this same Detroit team that cooled them off, as Detroit came into Anaheim and won back-to-back games against the red-hot Ducks, so they are certainly capable here. Detoit has amassed an 8-1-2 mark in their last 11 against the Ducks. After starting so strong, Anaheim finished the season just 3-7 on home ice. Take Detroit.

Pick: Tampa Bay +115 (moneyline)

The Tampa Bay Rays will get to face their former teammate James Shields for the first time. They will have a pretty good one of their own on the hill with Alex Cobb, who is off of 8.1 innings vs. the Yankees, allowing no runs, and retired 19 of 20 at one point in that game. Cobb has allowed 3 runs or less in 18 of his last 19 starts, dating back to last year. The Royals have faced a soft schedule, but that changes starting tonight, as they enter a stretch of 29 of their next 32 games vs. teams that were over .500 last year. The Rays are 8-2 in Cobb's last 10 starts vs. a winning team, and 7-0 when he takes the ball if they scored 5+ in their previous game. Make the play on Tampa Bay.

2 UNIT = Boston Red Sox @ Toronto Blue Jays - RED SOX TO WIN (-127)
Listed Pitchers: Lester vs Morrow
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.57 units)

The Red Sox are 18-7 on the year and 7-2 on the road, while the Blue Jays are 9-17 on the year and 5-8 at home. These two teams met three times in Toronto early in April and the Red Sox won 2 of 3 including the game that Lester started 13-0. Lester is a solid 4-0 on the year with a 2.27 ERA, .214 OBA and 1.11 WHIP. Brandon Morrow will take the mound for Toronto and he is 0-2 on the season through 5 starts with a 5.27 ERA, .292 OBA and 1.54 WHIP. Morrow doesn't look like the pitcher he was last year when he went 10-7 with a 2.96 ERA. In his last start Morrow went 6.1 innings giving up 3 hits and 3 earned runs with 4 strikeouts and 3 walks. As a Toronto fan they have been hard to watch as they sit 28th in the Majors with a .229 batting average and 27th with a team .291 OBP. The Red Sox are 3rd in the MLB with a team batting average of .272 and 2nd with a .347 team OBP. Toronto enters this game losers of 4 straight and 6 of their last 7, while the Red Sox have won 5 straight and 6 of 7. Boston is a perfect 5-0 in Lester's 5 starts, and 7-3 in his last 10 road starts. Toronto is just 1-4 in Morrow's 5 starts, and 7-20 in their last 27 games vs AL East opponents dating back to last season. Take Boston tonight.

The following is one of our 3 baseball picks tonight.

Take Boston Red Sox on the Money Line (-118) against Toronto Blue Jays risking 3% (Lester and Morrow must start)
The Boston Red Sox missed the playoffs the past two seasons but have come back with a vengeance this year and are right now technically the "best" team in the league so far. The Red Sox own a league best 18-7 record and have won 5 consecutive games! They are 7-3 in their last 10 games, 7-2 on the road this season and they currently have a 3 game lead in the AL East. As a team the Red Sox are hitting .272 with David Ortiz hitting .516, Dustin Pedroia hitting .330, Daniel Nava hitting .310, and Shane Victorino is hitting .292. There isn't a spot in this batting order that isn't capable of producing hits and getting men on base. The Red Sox this season are turning into the Yankees of old as they make teams pay for allowing players on base. Each and every Red Sox batter is a threat to hit it out of the park and the fact that they have already hit 23 home runs as a team supports that.
The Red Sox opponents are hitting just .221 and the Boston pitching staff has a combined ERA of 3.39. In seasons past it has been the pitching that has truly let the Red Sox down. Both Clay Buchholz and Jon Lester struggled to find any kind of rhythm last season. This season however, those two have been the stars of the Red Sox pitching rotation. For game one in Toronto the Red Sox start Jon Lester who has been on fire thus far this year. For the season Lester has allowed 25 hits and 8 earned runs while striking out 28 over 31.2 innings for a 2.27 ERA! Tonight Lester will look to join both Buchholz and Tampa's Matt Moore as April's only 5-0 pitchers.
The Blue Jays are a team with a good squad that has struggled to start the season. The Jays have lost four in a row and are just 2-8 in their last 10 games! As a team the Blue Jays are hitting .229 with Melky Cabrera hitting .250, J.P Arencibia hitting .242, and Edwin Encarnacion hitting .227. The Blue Jays opponents are hitting .263 and the Toronto pitching staff has a combined ERA of 4.46. Brandon Morrow gets the start for the Jays tonight and Morrow is still looking for his first win of the season. Morrow has allowed 33 hits and 16 earned runs while striking out 19 over 27.1 innings of work for a 0-2 record and a 5.27 ERA so far this season.
Toronto is 7-20 in their last 27 games against the AL East and only 6-18 in their last 24 games as an underdog. Boston on the other hand is 4-0 in their last four road games, 13-3 in their last 16 games overall, and 7-3 in Lester’s last 10 road starts. There is good value backing the Red Sox tonight who I feel are the better team and have the better pitcher.

MLB

Pittsburgh (McDonald) at Milwaukee (Estrada) (-140) 8:10 PM ET

3% Milwaukee (Estrada) (-140)

Losing streaks are made up of bad handicapping, bad game selection management, bad luck and close losses. We had all of those in abundance in a losing day on Monday which dropped our combined record in MLB and NBA to 85-59 (59%). All selections on this App will be FREE today as I author the huge Bounce Back day using the same type of winning analysis that has been so successful this month.

In this matchup today, we feature a Milwaukee team who has won 7 consecutive home games and has dominated their opponent more than any other on their home field. The Brewers enter tonight with a record of 45-7 on this field vs. the Pirates including 5-0 recently. In fact, they have won 8 consecutive games from the Pirates scoring 59 runs in the process. Pittsburgh is one of the most improved teams in MLB and is on the verge of snapping their 20 year sub .500 record. In no small part, we must credit a bullpen who has a 173 relief index, the best in MLB. They have converted 92% of their save opportunities and have an 81% strand rate. Tonight they send McDonald to the hill, who since reviewing his strike out reel he has pitched 2 of his better games of the year. That includes allowing just 3 runs in a 6-4 victory vs. the Phillies in his last outing. But from this mound, like many other Pirates, he has been a disaster with a 1-3 record and 8.75 ERA in 5 outings at this site. Compare that to Milwaukee starter Estrada who, against the Pirates, is 3-0 with a 1.43 ERA including a 40/3 KBB in 37 2/3 IP. Estrada has pitched well this season including his most recent outing in which he allowed 1 earned run on 5 hits in 6 1/3 IP vs. San Diego. Out of respect for the huge edge the Pirates have in the bullpen, I advise you to make this a 5 inning play.



Boston (Lester) (-120) at Toronto (Morrow) 7:00 PM ET
3% Boston (Lester) (-120)

The Red Sox have the best record in Baseball at 18-7 and are playing that way. They enter tonight on a 5 game win streak and 13-3 recently in which they have averaged 5.1 RPG with a pitching staff that has authored a .221 BAA. Compare that to a Toronto team who returns from a 1-6 road trip in which they were swept by NYY in a 4 game series this weekend. That drops the Toronto record to 9-17 including 5-8 at home. For the season, they have a .229 BA. Morrow will not be the answer tonight. He stands 0-2 for the season with a 5.27 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 8.28 lifetime ERA vs. Boston. Far prefer the slants of the red hot Lester who is 4-0 with a 2.27 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 28/10 KBB and a record of 6-2 at this site with a 2.13 ERA.


NBA

Golden State at Denver (-8) 8:00 PM ET TNT

2% Golden State +8

Denver entered the Playoffs on a 23-3 regular season run. They had won 24 consecutive home games and now have a record of 39-4 on their home court. But after an Andres Miller layup at the buzzer allowed the Nuggets to emerge with a 97-95 victory in Game #1, it has been all Golden State. Oddly enough that coincides with the loss of one of their best players, Lee. In fact, in the previous 3 years, the Warriors were 3-18 SU without Lee in the starting lineup. But Jarrett Jack and the ability of HC Jackson to mix and match his rotation has made Golden State unstoppable. They have scored 356 points or 118 per game in victories of 14, 2 and 14 points. Curry and Company have been on fire from behind the arc and Bogut has been a beast in the interior. Now it’s up to Denver HC Karl to make the necessary adjustments on a strong home court following 3 consecutive Ls. No doubt that could happen but the percentage side is clearly with Golden State playing the best offensive basketball of anyone in the Playoffs.
Memphis at the LA Clippers (-5-) 10:30 PM ET TNT

2% LA Clippers -5-

3% UNDER 180

We need to go no further than the rebounding numbers to corroborate the fact that the home team is now 4-0 SU, 3-1 ATS in this series. The Clippers won the 1st 2 games of the series on this court by outrebounding Memphis 87-61. But when the series switched to Memphis, the Grizzlies owned the boards by a combined count of 91-62. Now the series turns to LA where the Clippers stand 25-13 ATS as home favorite of 4 or more points. The zig-zag is clearly on their side. That’s home teams following exactly 2 losses of double digits, the last being the 20 point loss, are a strong situational play. But this series now looks like it is going to evolve into a half court defensive war. I limit the rating due to the Memphis record of 96-66 ATS as underdog with HC Hollins and recommend a stronger play on the UNDER 180.

NBA playoff betting notes: Nuggets' Faried battling ankle injury

Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried is battling through a sprained left ankle and is probable Tuesday. Here is a look at some NBA playoff notes heading into Tuesday night's action.

Faried frustrated with ankle sprain

Denver Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried is probable to play Tuesday as he heals from a sprained left ankle.

Faried injured the ankle in Denver's April 14 game versus the Portland Trail Blazers.

He missed Game 1 due to the injury but played in the next three. Faried averages 28.1 minutes, nine points and seven rebounds per game. He came off the bench in Game 2, but has started Games 3 and 4.

"It's extremely frustrating," Faried told Christopher Dempsey of the Denver Post. "Especially when it's taking away my most powerful weapon — my legs. I've just got to fight through it and hopefully I'll be all right."

Faried's frustration spilled over following Denver's Game 4 115-101 loss versus the Warriors. Faried reportedly kicked a hole in the wall inside the visitors locker room at Oracle Arena in Oakland. He was unsure of which foot he used to kick the wall.

Dooling questionable

Memphis Grizzlies guard Keyon Dooling is reportedly progressing from a neck strain that held him out of Game 4 Saturday. He is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The veteran is averaging 10.7 minutes, 4.3 points and one assist per game in the postseason.

Rookie guard Tony Wroten played five minutes in Dooling's absence in Game 4.

Andris Biedrins questionable for Game 5

Golden State Warriors center Andris Biedrins is questionable for Game 5 Tuesday versus the Denver Nuggets.

Biedrins has yet to play in the series due to lower back tightness.

The 7-footer has only played 30 minutes since March 1 and averaged 0.5 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in the regular season.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

NHL

Tuesday, April 30

Will NHL playoffs' opening-round under trend continue?

Oddsmakers like to trim totals down to five as the standard number in the NHL playoffs. And with good reason.

In the opening round of the 2012 playoffs, there were 48 games played and 241 total goals scored - an average of 5.02 total goals per game. That led to an over/under record of 14-23-11 in the first round, paying out under bettors at more than 59 percent.

Only the infamous series between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Pittsburgh Penguins trended towards the over, going 4-2 over/under with the teams scoring 56 combined goals (9.3 goals per game).

Playoff jitters can sometimes lead to a decline in offensive rhythm early into first-round series. There were four teams in the 2012 playoffs that weren't in the previous postseason. Those teams - Florida Panthers, New Jersey Devils, Ottawa Senators, and St. Louis Blues - combined for a 6-10-10 over/under count.

This year, there are five teams which qualified for the playoffs that did not play in the postseason a year ago. The New York Islanders, Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, Minnesota Wild and Anaheim Ducks are all good candidates to be "holding their sticks a little tighter" due to a lack of recent playoff experience.

Three games open the NHL playoffs Tuesday. The Wild are on the road to face the Chicago Blackhawks, the Blues will host the defending champion Los Angeles Kings, and the Ducks host the the Detroit Red Wings. Each games total is set at five goals.

Under bets cashed in at a 54.08 percent rate during the lockout-shortened schedule this year, including a 62.79 percent rate in the final seven days of the season with teams rounding into playoff form.

Houston Astros vs New York Yankees
New York Yankees
-1½-129 (http://affiliates.5dimes.com/tracking/Affiliate.asp?AffID=af000123&mediaTypeID=633&Image=/tracking/banner/160x600/5dimes-MB-160x600v4.gif&AffUrlID=176) at 5dimes (http://www.5dimes.com/)


15* AL Tuesday No-Doubt Rout on New York Yankees -1.5 (-129)

After getting embarrassed by the Houston Astros in a 9-1 home loss in Game 1 of this series, I fully expect the New York Yankees to bounce back with a blowout victory in Game 2 tonight.

Given the edge they have on the mound in this one, you'll be counting your chips by the end of the 5th inning folks. Houston's Philip Humber is simply atrocious, going 0-5 with a 7.98 ERA and 1.817 WHIP through five starts this season.

New York's Hiroki Kuroda is one of the most underrated starters in the league, going 3-1 with a 2.79 ERA and 1.035 WHIP through five starts this season to pick up right where he left off last year. Kuroda is 3-0 with a 1.61 ERA and 0.985 WHIP In seven career starts against Houston.

Houston is 10-41 (-20.9 Units) against the money line as a road underdog of +175 to +250 over the last 2 seasons. It is losing by 2.7 runs/game in this spot. Humber is 0-9 (-9.4 Units) against the money line when the total is 8 to 8.5 over the last 2 seasons. His teams are losing by a whopping 5.8 runs/game in this spot. Bet the Yankees on the Run Line Tuesday.

15* AL Central PLAY OF THE DAY on Detroit Tigers -1.5 (-115)

I'll side with the 2011 AL Cy Young and 2011 AL MVP winner, Justin Verlander, to hand the Minnesota Twins a multi-run loss tonight. Given how he has fared in his most recent starts against Minnesota, it's easy to see why I'm backing the Tigers on the Run Line tonight.

Verlander is 7-0 with a 1.22 ERA in his last seven starts against the Twins dating back to 2010. Detroit has won ALL SEVEN of those games by 2 or more runs. Enough said. Take the Tigers on the Run Line Tuesday.

Philadelphia Phillies vs Cleveland Indians

15* Interleague PLAY OF THE DAY on Philadelphia Phillies -108

Rarely will you get the opportunity to get Roy Halladay at this kind of price against a team like the lowly Cleveland Indians. I'll gladly take advantage and back the former Cy Young winner, who has been returning to form.

Halladay got off to a slow start this season, which is why he is currently undervalued. However, he has returned to his old self of late, going 2-0 with a 1.71 ERA and 0.619 WHIP in his last three starts. He has allowed just 4 earned runs and 13 base runners over 21 innings in those three outings.

The Phillies are 54-26 in Halladay's last 80 starts. Philadelphia is 24-8 in Halladay's last 32 starts vs. a team with a losing record. The Indians are 20-47 in their last 67 games as an underdog. Cleveland is 3-10 in Zach McAllister's last 13 starts overall. Bet the Phillies Tuesday.

15* NL East PLAY OF THE DAY on Washington Nationals +105

The Washington Nationals should not be an underdog to the Atlanta Braves tonight. They will be highly motivated to put an end to an 8-game losing streak to Atlanta which extends back to last season.

Considering the Nationals have the edge on the mound in this one, I like their chances of ending the skid. Gio Gonzalez is by far the superior starter in this one over Tim Hudson even though their numbers are comparable in the early going this season.

Gonzalez is 22-7 (+13.2 Units) against the money line vs. teams whose hitters strike out 7 or more times/game over the last 2 seasons. His teams are winning 5.6 to 3.6 on average in this spot. Gonzalez is 16-4 (+11.8 Units) against the money line in road games over the last 2 seasons. His teams are winning 5.5 to 3.2 in this spot. Take the Nationals Tuesday.

15* NL Tuesday Total DOMINATOR on Padres/Cubs UNDER 10

The San Diego Padres and Chicago Cubs will play part in a pitcher's duel tonight. The books have set this number way too high as two underrated starters go up against two of the worst line-ups in baseball.

While neither starter has been dominant in the early going, both have been excellent against tonight's opposition. Edinson Volquez has posted a 2.21 ERA in six career starts against Chicago. Edwin Jackson sports a 3.99 ERA in six career starts against San Diego.

The Padres are hitting .243 and scoring 3.5 runs/game this season, including .233 and 3.2 runs/game on the road. The Cubs are hitting .232 and scoring 3.4 runs/game on the year.

The UNDER is 4-0 in Padres last 4 road games. The UNDER is 5-0 in Cubs last 5 during game 2 of a series. The UNDER is 6-1-1 in Padres last 8 games with the total set at 9.0-10.5. The UNDER is 6-1 in Cubs last 7 overall. These four trends combine for a 21-2 system backing the UNDER. Roll with the UNDER in this game Tuesday.

15* AL Non-Divisional KNOCKOUT on Chicago White Sox +185

The Chicago White Sox are showing tremendous value as nearly a 2-to-1 underdog to the Texas Rangers tonight. Yu Darvish is getting too much respect from oddsmakers due to his fast start this season.

Well, the underrated Jose Quintana has been nearly as good. Chicago's best-kept secret is 2-0 with a 2.78 ERA and 1.059 WHIP through four starts this season, including 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 0.585 WHIP in two road starts.

Quintana faced the Rangers once last season, giving up just one earned run over 8 innings while striking out eight in a 2-1 victory. Yu Darvish faced Chicago once last year, giving up 6 runs and 11 base runners over 6 1/3 innings of a 5-9 home loss to the White Sox.

The White Sox are 10-3 in their last 13 games following an off day. Chicago is 15-7 in its last 22 vs. AL West opponents. The White Sox are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings with Texas. Roll with Chicago Tuesday.

20* Grizzlies/Clippers TNT Tuesday No-Brainer on Los Angeles -5

The home team has won each of the first four meetings in this series with three of them being blowouts. After Memphis took care of business in Games 3 and 4 at home, I look for Los Angeles to return the favor at home in Game 5 with a blowout victory.

Chris Paul, one of the most underrated leaders in the game, will rally his troops and have everyone hitting on all cylinders tonight. Paul hasn't been getting much help since Game 1, but playing at home tonight, I look for the role players to feel a lot more comfortable, which will allow them to contribute a lot more.

Los Angeles is 39-23 ATS revenging a loss vs opponent over the last 2 seasons. Better yet, the Clippers are 18-6 ATS when playing with double revenge - 2 straight losses vs. opponent over the last 2 seasons. Bet the Clippers Tuesday.

BIG AL's RARE 5* NBA WINNER - 100%, 11-0 ATS ANGLE!
Game Date/Time: 4/30/13 10:35 pm
Our Selection: Clippers Opponent: Grizzlies Line: -5.5 Rating: 5*
Analysis: At 10:35 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Clippers minus the points over Memphis. We've had a lot of success in this series, as we've won all three of our plays (Clippers Game 1, Grizzlies Game 2, the 'under' in Game 3). For Game 5, we will take the homestanding Los Angeles Clippers. Memphis swept the two games at "The Grindhouse" with wins by 94-82 and 104-83 scores. That evened up the series at 2 games apiece, and both teams also come into Game 5 with identical 58-28 season records. And one of the things I love to do is play AGAINST .671 (or better) underdogs off 20 point (or greater) home wins, if they also won two games back. These underdogs are a miserable 0-11 SU/ATS since 1991 in the Playoffs! Even more remarkable: all 11 losses were by Double-Digits! This has been a very competitive series the past two seasons in the Playoffs. And in the three games where one of the teams had lost its two previous games, it bounced back to win -- each time by double digits. Further, the Clippers are a super 70% the past two seasons when playing with double revenge from two losses in that season, while the Grizzlies are a poor 38% when going into double revenge the past two years. This year, the Grizzlies have been terrific when priced from -4.5 to +2.5 points (75% ATS), but dreadful when priced from +3 to +5.5 points (33% ATS (and 38% in that situation two years ago)). The Clippers, this season, have played markedly better at home than on the road. But it's also important to filter out Los Angeles' 14-game stretch from January 14 to February 6 when Chris Paul was injured and missed 12 of their 14 games. If one just looks at LA's season when he was healthy, one finds that the Clippers are 51-21 SU, and have a point differential on par with the other top teams in the league (Spurs, Thunder, Heat). The Grizzlies weren't in that class this season. And, when those games are filtered out, one finds that the Clippers were 15-2 SU and 14-3 ATS when priced from -3.5 to -6.5 points, as well as 24-15-1 ATS at home this season. Take the Clippers to blow out Memphis.
