MLB roundup: Pirates land 1B Davis from Mets
By THE SPORTS XCHANGE

After trying throughout the winter and spring training to add a left-handed hitting first baseman, the Pittsburgh Pirates got their man on Friday as they acquired Ike Davis from the New York Mets.

The Pirates traded minor-league reliever Zack Thornton and a player to be named for Davis. The 27-year-old was hitting .208 with one home run and five RBIs in 12 games.

The Pirates are hoping Davis can regain his form of two years ago when he hit 32 home runs and had 90 RBIs. Last year, he batted just .204 with nine homers in 103 games before his season ended Aug. 31 with a right oblique strain.

The Mets assigned Thornton to their Triple-A Las Vegas farm club. Thornton, 25, was 2-0 with a 1.23 ERA in four games with Triple-A Indianapolis.

---Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said he is concerned about right fielder Yasiel Puig over reports that he has receiving death threats since joining the team last year.

Los Angeles Magazine and ESPN The Magazine published feature stories on Puig this week detailing his escape from Cuba. According to the reports, the threats were a result of friction between rival groups that helped Puig leave the island and whether they should share in the $42 million contract he signed with the Dodgers.

Puig and the Dodgers' front office are not commenting, but Mattingly said, "If you care about Yasiel, you worry about it. There's some serious stuff that he has to deal with. I think you have to worry about it if you care about him as a person. You worry about what he's going through."

---New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira is set to come off the 15-day disabled list on Sunday, according to MLB.com.

Teixeira has been on the DL with a strained right hamstring. He last played April 4. If he is activated Sunday for a game against the Tampa Bay Rays, that means he spent the minimum required amount of the time on the 15-day DL. He played three innings of minor-league extended spring training session on Thursday.

---The Texas Rangers placed struggling pitcher Tanner Scheppers on the 15-day disabled list Friday with inflammation in his right elbow.

An MRI found no structural damage, but Scheppers will rest his arm for 10 days, MLB.com reported. Texas' Opening Day starter has posted an 0-1 record with a 9.82 ERA in four outings. He has given up 20 earned runs in 18 1/3 innings.

The Rangers purchased the contract of left-hander Aaron Poreda to fill Scheppers' spot on the pitching staff and designated infielder Andy Parrino for assignment to make room on the team's 40-man roster.

---The Oakland Athletics signed left-handed reliever Sean Doolittle to a five-year contract on Friday that includes club options for the 2019 and 2020 seasons.

Financial terms were not disclosed, but the deal begins with the 2014 season and extends through 2018. Doolittle's previous one-year contract was worth $505,000 in the majors and $295,500 in the minors. He would have been eligible for arbitration for the first time next winter.

The 27-year-old Doolittle is a converted first baseman, making the switch near the end of the 2011 season, and he has proved effective out of the bullpen for the A's. In the 2012 and 2013 seasons, he posted a 7-6 record with a 3.10 ERA, four saves and 129 strikeouts in 122 relief outings. This year, he has a 0-0 record with a 3.12 ERA and one save in eight appearances.

---Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis Chapman has been cleared to pitch batting practice for the first time since he was hit in the face by a line drive during an exhibition game on March 10.

The left-hander sustained fractures of his nose and a bone above his left eye when hit by a line drive off the bat of Salvador Perez of the Kansas City Royals.

Reds manager Bryan Price said he was not sure exactly when Chapman will pitch for the first time, but added that it probably will come during the Reds' 10-game trip that ends April 27. He added that Chapman will go on a minor league rehab assignment before rejoining the Reds.

Andre Gomes - 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 701/702 Under 194 @ -110 / 1.91 on BetOnline

This should be a fun series to watch w/ plenty of tight games and (hopefully) w/ game 6 and/or game 7 on the horizon.

For the first contest I really think that we have some edge w/ the Under as my fair line in here is 190/192 points.

Note that in this series, we will deal w/ half court battle. In the regular season, TOR was ranked #23 in Pace Factor & BKN = ranked #25! 3 of the 4 H2H's games between these two teams were slow paced contests, so we can expect this trend to keep going in this series.

BKN's offense will have some problems vs. TOR's underrated defense! TOR is a top 10 team in not committing TO's (ranked #9 in the regular season) and this could be a problem for a BKN defense that is great in creating TO's and convert those TO's w/ a pretty decent transition offense. Also, Amir Johnson & Patrick Patterson are quick and mobile "bigs", so BKN's undersized lineup won't have the usual edge that they are used to have vs. traditional frontcourt units.

On the other side, this Raptors team doesn't have much experience @ playoffs, and this first contest could be a tough mental spot for them. Note that we are dealing w/ a team that takes a ton of mid range jumpers…

BKN will have S. Livingston back and also K. Garnett could play some significant minutes as well - an obvious boost for their defense!

The correlation of all these factors = Single Dime Play w/ Under!

#707 - #708 Golden State Warriors - Los Angeles Clippers OVER 212

This total has been driven up from the opening number for good reason. These teams have gone over in 7 of their last 9 meetings and the Clippers have gone over in 8 of 10 overall and in 8 of their last 10 against Western Conference opponents. Have to like the Warriors to knock down a bunch of 3's and the Clippers to make a ton of dunks getting this game over the number.

SPORTS WAGERS

NBA - Series bet
TORONTO +136 over Brooklyn

Saturday, April 18, 12:35 PM EST. Frankly, it’s ludicrous that the Nets are favored in this series against the higher-seeded Raptors and regardless of outcome we’re absolutely going with the best of it here. Since trading Rudy Gay to the Kings in December, the Raptors are 41-22 - the best record in the Eastern Conference over that span. The breakout backcourt of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan poses all sorts of problems for opponents. Dwayne Casey's team takes care of the ball, ranking 10th in turnover percentage. Up front, big man Jonas Valanciunas can control the boards, and his late-season surge (18 points and 11.7 rebounds per game in April) suggests that he could be a scoring factor down low, too. Overall, balance is the strength of Toronto's game. The Raptors were the only team in the East to rank in the top 10 in offensive and defensive efficiency.

It's been a tale of two seasons for the Nets. Entering January, the Nets were 10-21 and one of the biggest disappointments in the NBA after their offseason acquisitions of Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. But the New Year brought new life to Brooklyn. The Nets have posted the second-best winning percentage in the East since Jan. 1 (.667, 34-17), largely on the strength of a new small-ball style, an approach that gave the Raptors fits in their most recent game. Brooklyn's experience can't be underrated. Nets players have started a combined 417 postseason games, compiling more than 17,000 playoff minutes. Pierce and Garnett each boast NBA titles, and Deron Williams and Joe Johnson understand the pressure of the NBA's largest stage as well. In a close game, Kidd knows he has players who can hit big shots. Can Casey say the same? No, he can’t but the Raps won’t be fazed by this stage. The Raps have a huge edge in depth and rebounding (Brooklyn ranked 29th in rebounding) and that’s significant in any game or series.

The Nets have been saying all the right things about their actions over the final few games of the regular season, insisting they were focused on rest, not playoff positioning. After Brooklyn lost four of its final five regular-season games to fall out of the fifth seed — and a meeting with playoff-tested Chicago — and into sixth and a matchup with inexperienced Toronto, the phrase “tanked on purpose” has been used repeatedly. No question the Raptors are aware of the Nets tanking in order to face them instead of Chicago so this is a very unique situation. You have a third seed who’s really good and you a have team that was trying to lose to get to them. That move not only isn’t wise but it’ll motivate the Raps even more.

Lastly, and we hate to bring this up but it’s an issue that must be stated. Our one big concern here is the manipulation of the NBA to get playoff matches that attract big audiences. In that respect, you can’t expect the referees to be helping out Toronto in any way. In other words, don’t expect the calls to go in Toronto’s favor. The NBA would hate to see Toronto advance because TV audiences in the US would diminish drastically. It’s for that reason we are not betting more on Toronto. We hope we’re wrong but we doubt it. Still, the value is on the Raps because they should not be a pooch with home court advantage against an inferior opponent.

Our Pick TORONTO +136 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.72)

[Can'tPickAWinner]

NBA Eastern Conference playoff betting preview: Round 1

Brooklyn Nets at Toronto Raptors (-2.5, 194)

The Nets' starters boast a combined 399 career playoff games, while there are three playoff rookies - guard DeMar DeRozan, forward Terrence Ross and center Jonas Valanciunas - among the Raptors' first five. The teams split four meetings this season, with each squad going 1-1 on its home floor and three of the four games decided by four points or fewer.

After a slow start and a notable trade that sent swingman Rudy Gay to Sacramento, Toronto went 42-22 over the final four-plus months of the season to record a franchise record in victories and storm to the Atlantic Division crown - its first since 2006-07. DeRozan and point guard Kyle Lowry were the catalysts all season for Toronto, combining to average 40.6 points and 11.4 assists and stepping up their games against Brooklyn; DeRozan averaged 22.3 points and Lowry 22 points versus the Nets.

TRENDS:

* Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Toronto.
* Home team is 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings.
* Nets are 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall.


Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Clippers (-7, 211)

The Golden State Warriors went into the playoffs as the No. 6 seed last season and knocked off the third-seeded Denver Nuggets. They will be attempting to turn the same trick again this spring, though the competition will be different when the Warriors visit the third-seeded Los Angeles Clippers. Golden State and Los Angeles did not get along very well during the regular season, and Warriors guard Klay Thompson continued the war of words this week by talking about Clippers All-Star forward Blake Griffin. “He’s kind of like a bull in a china shop, kind of out of control sometimes,” Thompson told 95.7 The Game radio in San Francisco. “And then you do just see him flop sometimes, like how can a guy that big and strong flop that much?”

The Clippers are primed for a deep playoff run and brought in coach Doc Rivers in part for his experience in the postseason. Rivers is the biggest change from last spring, when Los Angeles dropped a first-round series to the Memphis Grizzlies under Vinny Del Negro, but he is not the only difference. The Clippers led the league in scoring and became a defensive force as the season progressed and DeAndre Jordan grew more comfortable with his role as an enforcer and rim protector. Clippers G Chris Paul averaged 28 points, 12.7 assists and 3.7 steals in three games against Golden State this season.

TRENDS:

* Home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings.
* Warriors are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 Conference Quarterfinals games.
* Under is 9-3-1 in Clippers last 13 home games.


Atlanta Hawks at Indiana Pacers (-7.5, 186)

Atlanta was 10 games under .500 on April 3 before closing with six wins in the last eight games, including a 107-88 drubbing of the Pacers in Indiana on April 6. The Hawks bowed out in six games in the first round to the Pacers last season, dropping the final two games after evening the series with a pair of home victories. Atlanta doesn’t have Al Horford this time around but does have All-Star Paul Millsap. Atlanta can spread the floor with its frontcourt rotation of Millsap, Pero Antic, DeMarre Carroll and Mike Scott, and all five in the starting lineup are capable of stepping out and hitting 3-pointers.

The Pacers went 10-13 over the last six weeks of the season, briefly dropping out of the top spot in the East before winning three of four to close things out and top the Heat by two games. Indiana’s slump came after trading away veteran Danny Granger and signing mercurial center Andrew Bynum, and downturns in production from Roy Hibbert and Paul George didn’t help. Hibbert averaged 17 points and 9.9 rebounds in the playoffs last spring and the Pacers are counting on him to carry a heavy load again. Hibbert averaged five points on 28.1 percent shooting and 3.8 rebounds in the four games against the Hawks.

TRENDS:

* Over is 13-3-1 in the last 17 meetings in Indiana.
* Favorite is 25-9-1 ATS in the last 35 meetings.
* Pacers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven Conference Quarterfinals games.


Memphis Grizzlies at Oklahoma City Thunder (-7, 192.5)

The Memphis Grizzlies eliminated an Oklahoma City team missing Russell Westbrook from last season’s playoffs and take aim at stunning the Thunder again when the first-round series opens in Oklahoma City on Saturday. The trio of Gasol, power forward Zach Randolph and point guard Mike Conley are used to waging battle with the Thunder, having surprisingly taken Oklahoma City to seven games in the 2011 conference semifinals before last season’s impressive series victory.

The Thunder posted the NBA’s second-best record despite Westbrook missing 36 games due to his balky knee and are expecting the first-round series to be quite a tussle. “It’s going to be a tough but fun series,” Kevin Durant told reporters. “We have a lot of history with these guys. We’re looking forward to getting the opportunity to play for a championship.” Durant is the favorite to win NBA MVP honors after leading the league in scoring with a 32-point average, the highest since Kobe Bryant averaged 35.4 points for the Lakers in 2005-06.

TRENDS:

* Grizzlies are 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meetings.
* Under is 5-1 in Thunder's last six Conference Quarterfinals games.
* Grizzlies are 5-0 ATS in their last five Conference Quarterfinals games.

NBA Western Conference playoff betting preview: Round 1

No. 8 Dallas Mavericks vs. No. 1 San Antonio Spurs

Season series: Spurs won season series 4-0 SU (3-1 ATS), 3-1 O/U
Series Prices: Mavericks +500/Spurs -700

Why bet the Mavericks?

This may appear to be one of the most lopsided matchups of the first round but the Mavs may give the Spurs a little more than people expect. Dallas is a very good offensive team that balances scoring between both its starters and its bench. They take high-percentage shots, evidenced by their 47.4 field goal percentage and are the league’s second-best, 3-point shooting team. As well, the Spurs don’t really have anyone to guard Dirk Nowitzki when the big man steps out of the paint.

Why bet the Spurs?

Everything the Mavs can do, the Spurs do better. They balance their scoring and hit threes. As well, they are able to play the type of defense that wins championships. They beat the Mavericks all four times they met this season, never shooting less than 41 percent from the field and only once hitting below 40 percent from the 3-point arc.


No. 7 Memphis Grizzlies vs. No. 2 Oklahoma City Thunder

Season series: Thunder won season series 3-1 SU (2-1-1 ATS), 3-1 O/U
Series Prices: Grizzlies +300/Thunder -360

Why bet the Grizzlies?

The Grizzlies are the team no one wanted to play in the first round. They slow the game down, averaging only 92.2 possessions per game, but score an efficient 103.3 points per 100 possessions. Defensively is where they’re most scary. Memphis only allows the opposition’s starters an average of 65 points per game and, once you get past the starters, the Thunder have a mediocre bench that averages only 32.2 points per game.

Why bet the Thunder?

The Thunder handled the Grizzlies fairly easily this season, winning three of four by an average of 10-plus points per game and outrebounding Memphis in each contest. While much is being made of Memphis’ ability to control the pace of the game, OKC is no slouch in offensive efficiency, averaging 108 .1 points per 100 possessions. What’s more Russell Westbrook only played in two games against Memphis this season.


No. 6 Golden State Warriors vs. No. 3 Los Angeles Clippers

Season series: Tied 2-2 SU (Clippers went 3-1 ATS), 2-2 O/U
Series Prices: Warriors +320/Clippers -380

Why bet the Warriors?

Never count a team out that has Stephen Curry in its lineup. What’s more, never count a team that has Stephen Curry and the home-court crowd at Oracle. The Warriors were an improved defensive unit this season, allowing teams less than 100 points per game and had the fourth-best point differential. They managed to keep the Clippers under their 107.9 points per contest average in both games in Oakland.

Why bet the Clippers?

The Clippers may have two of the league’s top five players and the league’s best coach. They’re healthy and deep, able to throw different looks at their opponents depending on the situation. There may be concerns over last year’s disappointing exit but it’s not Vinny Del Negro on the sidelines. It looks like Andrew Bogut will be sidelined and Jermaine O’Neal and David Lee can’t protect the rim alone versus “Lob City”.


No. 5 Portland Trail Blazers vs No. 4 Houston Rockets

Season series: Rockets won 3-1 SU (Tied 2-2 ATS), 4-0 O/U
Series Prices: Trail Blazers +175/Rockets -200

Why bet the Rockets?

This will be a series marked by the 3-pointer but it won’t be won by it. Whoever defends and scores at key moments will come out on top, and with Dwight Howard defending the basket on one end and James Harden getting to the hoop on the other, the advantage has to go to the Rockets. Houston won the three of the four meetings during the season, never scoring less than 116 points and held Portland to more than a basket less than its season average during the fourth quarters of these wins.

Why bet the Trail Blazers?

If Portland can knock down its open looks, it has a decent chance of advancing. What’s good news for Blazers bettors is the fact the team has been doing that in recent games. Portland won five in a row to end the season, shooting nearly 46 percent overall and an impressive 43 percent from downtown in their last three games in that stretch.
