NHL

Tuesday, May 21

Bruins outshot New York 16-5 in OT to win Game 1 on home ice, then dominated Game 2, winning 5-2, despite Rangers having four more power plays (0-5) than the Bruins (0-1) did. Boston lost 12 of last 14 visits to Manhattan (2-3 in last five); they had lost seven of nine to New York before this series started. Rangers won their last nine home games, with all three home playoff wins by a single goal- their last home loss was to Washington back on March 24. Bruins scored 3+ goals in all six of its playoff wins this spring, 1-1-2 in its three losses. Under is 10-5-3 in last eighteen series games.

Home teams are 10-1 in this round of Stanley Cup playoffs; home teams won 12 of last 13 King-Shark games, with LA losing last six games here. LA allowed a total of 11 goals in winning six of last seven games, streak that started after they fell behind 2-0 in St Louis series. Under is 8-2-2 in LA's last dozen games; defending champs are 4-3 vs San Jose this year, with home side winning all seven games. There were 67 penalty minutes in Game 3, after Games 1-2 had total of only 28; Sharks were 2-5 on power play last game, after LA was 3-6 on power play in Game 2. Kings got called for two penalties in last minute of regulation in Game 3, lost on power play goal in OT, then goalie Quick got misconduct on his way off ice after game; needless to say, that doesn't happen a whole lot.

NBA

Tuesday, May 21

Zach Randolph averages over 17 ppg in his 12-year career, but Game 1, Spurs held him to two points (1-8 FG) in 28 minutes (-28), so Grizzlies have lot of room to improve there. Memphis covered ten of their last 11 games, winning eight of last ten; they're 5-1 vs spread in last six games on road. Home team won last five series games, with Grizzlies losing last three here by 4-21-22 points. Over is 8-4 in Grizzlies' playoff games, 5-2 on road. Spurs are 4-2 vs spread as playoff home favorite. No Grizzly starter took a 3-pointer in Game 1 (Pondexter 5-9, others 0-3).

2 UNIT = Kansas City Royals @ Houston Astros - ASTROS TO WIN (+120)
Listed Pitchers: Davis vs Norris
(Note: I’m risking 2.00 units to win 2.40 units)

The Houston Astros are coming off a 6-5 win last night vs Kansas City as underdogs. That extends Kanas City’s losing streak to 4 games and they are now just 2-8 over their last 10 games overall. The Astros have won 3 of their last 5 games overall, and although they are just 13-32 on the year they send their best starting pitcher to the mound. Bud Norris will be pitching for Houston and he is 4-4 on the season with a 4.32 ERA, .296 OBA and 1.54 WHIP. He is coming off a rough outing where he allowed 7 earned runs vs Detroit, but that came on short rest after going 8 innings allowing just 1 earned run at home vs the Angels. He has now had a full week of rest and should be ready to get back at it with a quality home start. At home this year he is 3-1 with a 2.30 ERA (compared to a road ERA of 7.71). That isn’t rare for Bud Norris as he was 4-1 with a stellar 1.71 ERA at home last year compared to a road ERA of 6.94. He will be facing Wade Davis who takes the mound for the Royals. Davis is 3-3 on the season with a 5.98 ERA, .349 OBA and 1.89 WHIP. After a pretty good start to the season Davis has had his troubles lately allowing 23 earned runs over his last 5 starts. His last time out he went 5.1 innings giving up 9 hits and 4 earned runs, and his start before that he allowed 7 earned runs over 5 innings of work. Over 4 road starts his ERA is at 4.95 with opponents hitting .369 against him. Take note that the Royals are just 3-10 in their last 13 games as a small road favorite between -110 and -150 and they are 0-6 in their last 6 games as a favorite overall. I will take the value on the underdog tonight.
