Preview: Reds (5-5) at Cardinals (6-3)
Game: 3
Venue: Busch Stadium
Date: April 19, 2015 8:05 PM EDT

Another April, another fast start for the St. Louis Cardinals at the expense of the Cincinnati Reds.


The Cardinals look to finish a three-game sweep of their NL Central rivals Sunday night and post a fifth win over the Reds in the young season.


Since the start of the 2011 season, St. Louis is 16-6 in games played in the month of April versus the Reds. After taking two of three at Cincinnati last week, the Cardinals (7-3) are poised to sweep this three-game series following Saturday's 5-2 win.


Jason Heyward hit his first home run since joining the team in the offseason and Matt Carpenter continued his strong start with a two-run double. Carpenter has recorded six consecutive two-hit games, going 12 for 27 with six doubles in that span.


"Carp comes up again today and takes a real nice aggressive swing," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "He's driving the ball and not just taking pitches. It's a nice stroke he has going right now."


Matt Holliday extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a first-inning double before leaving with a stiff back and is questionable for this game. He has fared well against Reds scheduled starter Mike Leake, going 14 for 36 (.389) with a homer and three doubles.


They're not the only ones swinging hot bats for St. Louis, as Yadier Molina is 8 for 15 with six RBIs over his last four games.


Adam Wainwright (1-1, 2.08 ERA) wouldn't mind being the beneficiary of a continued consistent offense, but he also has fared well against Cincinnati recently. The right-hander did not allow a run and struck out 21 over 15 innings in winning both his starts versus the Reds last year and carries a 17-inning shutout streak against them into this contest.


Wainwright failed to build off a solid season debut against Milwaukee on Monday after being reached for five runs - three earned - and eight hits in seven innings of a 5-4 defeat. While successful versus Cincinnati last year, he has lost four straight home starts to the Reds while posting an 8.05 ERA in those defeats.


Cincinnati (5-6) has lost three straight and six of seven since a 4-0 start. The Reds have been held to three or fewer runs in five of those games during this slide while giving up four or more five times.


'We kept coming at them, we hit some balls hard,' manager Bryan Price said after the Reds stranded nine runners for the second straight game. 'But we weren't able to string together the big inning that we needed.'


After being erratic with six walks in his season debut on April 8 versus Pittsburgh, Leake (0-0, 4.97) was wild in the strike zone Monday at Wrigley Field, giving up two home runs and four runs in seven innings but was in line for a victory before Cincinnati eventually lost 7-6 to Chicago in 10 innings.


Jay Bruce, who is 2 for 14 in his last four games, has been feast or famine versus Wainwright - going 11 for 33 with two homers and two doubles while striking out 12 times. Speedster Billy Hamilton, who is day to day with an irritated right groin, may be given the day off since he has struck out in seven of his eight plate appearances against Wainwright.

Sunday's Early Tips


April 18, 2015


**Boston at Cleveland**


-- As of Saturday afternoon, most books had Cleveland (53-29 straight up, 39-43 against the spread) installed as an 11.5-point 'chalk' with a total of 203 points. Bettors can back the Celtics to pull the outright upset for a +650 payout at Sportsbook.ag. For first-half bets, the Cavaliers are favored by 6.5 with a total of 99.5.


-- Boston (40-42 SU, 49-32-1 ATS) has won six in a row and eight of its last nine both SU and ATS. The late-season surge allowed the Celtics to garner the Eastern Conference's No. 7 seed and get to the playoffs for the first time since Brad Stevens left Butler to take over the storied franchise.


-- The acquisition of explosive guard Isaiah Thomas from Phoenix at the trading deadline proved to be a shrewd move by GM Danny Ainge. In 21 games for the C's, Thomas has averaged a team-high 19.0 points per game while also dishing out 5.4 assists per contest. He has a 23/6 assists-to-turnovers ratio in the last four games.


-- Cleveland has been locked into the East's No. 2 seed for a few weeks, so it's debatable whether or not bettors should be concerned about its 2-7 ATS slump in the last nine games of the regular season. The Cavs did win outright in six of their last eight games.


-- Cleveland is back in the playoffs for the first time since LeBron James left via free agency for the Miami Heat. James's return is obviously the reason. He won't take MVP honors this season, but his numbers are stellar once again. In 69 regular-season games, James averaged 25.3 points, 7.4 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game.


-- James gets plenty of help from Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. Irving averages 21.7 points and 5.2 assists per game, while Love averages 16.4 points and 9.7 rebounds per contest. J.R. Smith was acquired from the Knicks earlier this year, and the veteran gunner has played well. Smith scored at a 12.7 PPG clip and drained 39.0 percent of his 3's in 46 games with the Cavs.


-- These clubs split four regular-season meetings with the Celtics going 3-1 ATS. The 'under' also went 3-1 in the four encounters.


-- The first showdown took place on Nov. 14 when Cleveland captured a 122-121 win as a six-point road 'chalk.' James rallied the Cavs to victory after they trailed by 19 in the fourth quarter. He finished with 41 points and seven assists, while Irving had 27 points and five assists. In the losing effort, Kelly Olynyk led the C's with 21 points and six rebounds, while Jarred Sullinger had 19 points and 10 boards.


-- The Cavs cruised to a 110-79 win as 11-point home favorites on March 3. James led the way with 27 points and five assists, while Brandon Bass scored a team-best 15 points in defeat.


-- These teams met twice in the last week of the regular season. On April 10 at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Boston won a 99-90 decision as a six-point road underdog. The Cavs played this game without Irving and Iman Shumpert, who were resting injuries. Marcus Smart paced the winners with 19 points, while Thomas and Avery Bradley finished with 17 and 15 points, respectively.


-- Two nights later in Beantown, the C's collected a 117-78 victory as a 10-point home 'chalk.' Cleveland gave Irving, James and Smith the night off to rest. Thomas produced 17 points and six assists for the victors.


-- Boston owns a 23-8 spread record when listed as an underdog of six points or more. The C's have been double-digit 'dogs five times, going 3-2 versus the number.


-- Cleveland is 11-9 ATS as a double-digit favorite.


-- The series price for Cleveland is -5000, while the C's are +1700 underdogs (risk $100 to win $1,700).


-- The 'under' is 48-33-1 overall for the Cavs, 26-15 in their home games.


-- The 'over' is 42-39-1 overall for Boston, but the 'under' is 21-20 in its road assignments.


-- Tip-off is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. Eastern on ABC.


**Brooklyn at Atlanta**


-- As of Saturday afternoon, most betting shops had Atlanta (60-22 SU, 50-30-2 ATS) favored by 10 with a total of 201.5 points. Gamblers can back the Nets on the money line for a +500 return at 5Dimes (risk $100 to win $500). For first-half wagers, the Hawks are favored by six with a total of 102.5.


-- Atlanta won all four regular-season meetings against Brooklyn, and three of those victories came by double-digit margins. The Hawks won by 23 at Brooklyn in the first meeting, and they followed up that win with 113-102 and 131-99 home triumphs over the Nets. In the most recent encounter at Barclays Arena on April 8, Atlanta captured a 114-111 victory as a 4.5-point road underdog. Al Horford was the catalyst with 24 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and one blocked shot. Mike Scott added 20 points and eight boards, while Jeff Teague tallied 15 points, 12 assists, six rebounds and four steals.


-- Atlanta has a balanced attack and an unselfish team. Four of its starters made the All-Star Game with DeMarre Carroll serving as the lone exception. And Carroll is a helluva player, averaging 12.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game.


-- Atlanta shooting guard Kyle Korver led the NBA in 3-point shooting percentage, draining treys at a 49.2 percent clip. Paul Millsap lead the Hawks in scoring (16.7 PPG) and averages 7.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game. Horford might be the team's best overall player, averaging 15.2 PPG while making 53.8 percent of his shots from the field. The University of Florida product also averages 7.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.3 blocked shots and 0.9 steals per game. Teague enjoyed a breakout campaign, averaging 15.9 points, 7.0 assists and 1.7 steals per contest.


-- Brooklyn (38-44 SU, 39-41-2 ATS) beat Orlando 101-88 as a nine-point favorite in its regular-season finale. When the Pacers lost at Memphis later that night, the Nets were given the East's No. 8 seed. Bojan Bogdanovic torched the Magic for 28 points on 12-of-17 shooting from the field. He drained 4-of-8 from downtown. Joe Johnson and Thaddeus Young added 16 points apiece.


-- Brooklyn veteran center Brook Lopez was the key to the team qualifying for the playoffs. In the Nets' last 23 games, Lopez averaged 21.0 points and 9.5 rebounds per game.


-- If the playoffs aren't motivation enough for the Nets, perhaps they'll find life due to a pair of circumstances. Starting point guard Deron Williams was just ripped by former teammate Paul Pierce in an interview that got a lot of run this past week. Johnson used to play for the Hawks and was given the NBA's best contract. He'll face jeers galore from the crowds at Philips.


-- Scott, a reserve forward for the Hawks, missed the last regular-season game with a back injury. However, he practiced Saturday and will play in Sunday's Game 1. Scott averages 7.8 PPG and is a streaky shooter from long distance.


-- Atlanta owns a 26-15 spread record at home this year. The Hawks went 6-2 ATS when favored by 10 to 13.5 points, but they are just 6-6 ATS as double-digit 'chalk' due to a 0-4 ATS mark when favored by more than 14 points.


-- Brooklyn is 5-6 ATS in 11 games as a double-digit underdog.


-- Atlanta is second in the NBA in 3-point shooting, making 38.0 percent of its attempts from beyond the arc.


-- Atlanta is -1400 for the series price, leaving Brooklyn at +800 on the comeback (risk $100 to win $800).


-- The 'over' is 42-40 overall for the Hawks, but the 'under' is 21-20 in their home games.


-- The 'under' is 45-37 overall for the Nets, 24-17 in their road outings.


-- TNT will have the broadcast at 5:30 p.m. Eastern.

Teams that go up 2-0 have sky high winning percentage


In all-time best-of-seven Stanley Cup Playoffs series, the team that goes up 2-0 holds a 293-48 record (a winning percentage of 86 percent), as pointed out by NHL PR.


That's a trend that will surely appeal to bettors of the Montreal Canadiens in the wake of their 3-2 overtime victory over the Ottawa Senators in Game 2 Friday evening.


The Sens will be looking for their first win when the series shifts to Ottawa for Game 3 Sunday. Oddsmakers currently have the Sens as -135 favorites on the moneyline for the tilt.

Game of the Day: Sunday's NBA Playoffs cheat sheet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boston Celtics at Cleveland Cavaliers (-11.5, 203)

The last time the Cleveland Cavaliers made the playoffs, LeBron James had his first run with the team come to a bitter end at the hands of the Boston Celtics. Back for his second go-around with the team, James will try to get some revenge when the second-seeded Cavaliers host the seventh-seeded Celtics in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs on Sunday.

James has endured some epic battles with Boston in the postseason as a member of both the Cavaliers and the Miami Heat, but this Celtics team bears little resemblance to the Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett-led playoff teams of the past. Boston won its final six regular-season games to surge into the No. 7 spot in the East, including a pair of victories over a less than full strength Cleveland squad in the last week, by leaning hard on the reserves and switching up the rotation based on matchups. "I think we’re going to continue to play our team," Celtics coach Brad Stevens told reporters. "We’ll see. If you feel like, after a couple games, that we need to shorten our rotation, so be it. We’ll continue to go with who is playing well.” The Cavaliers don’t go as deep but enjoy one of the best starting units in the NBA, led by James and Kyrie Irving.

TRENDS:

*Celtics are 21-8 ATS in their last 29 road games
*Cavaliers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 vs. NBA Atlantic.
*Under is 7-1 in Celtics last 8 Conference Quarterfinals games.
*Under is 17-8 in Cavaliers last 25 home games.


Brooklyn Nets at Atlanta Hawks (-10, 201.5)

The Atlanta Hawks went all the way from the bottom of the Eastern Conference playoff bracket to the top in one season and will now try to advance out of the first round. The Hawks will try to build on their franchise-record campaign when they host the Brooklyn Nets in Game 1 of the first round on Sunday.

Atlanta won a franchise-record 60 games in the regular season and goes into the playoffs as a heavy favorite to dispatch the Nets. “I don’t think we have any advantage over the Hawks,” Nets coach Lionel Hollins told reporters on a conference call. “That’s why they’re 60-22 and that’s why we’re where we are (38-44). They’re a very good team and we have to go out and develop a game plan to control the tempo, rebound and score against them consistently.” Brooklyn had to fight until the final day of the regular season to make the playoffs, briefly dropping out of the top eight after losing twice to Atlanta in April. The Hawks took all four meetings in the regular season, including a 131-99 drubbing at home on Apr. 4.

TRENDS:

Portland Trail Blazers at Memphis Grizzlies (-5.5, 188.5)

The Memphis Grizzlies have experienced little trouble against fourth-seeded Portland this season and look to continue their dominance when they host the Trail Blazers in Sunday’s Game 1 of the Western Conference playoff series. Fifth-seeded Memphis won all four regular-season meetings this season – two by double digits – and has won nine of the past 11 matchups.

Portland struggled down the stretch and lost its last four games and hopes to have small forward Nicolas Batum (knee) back in the lineup while shooting guard Arron Afflalo (shoulder) will miss the opener. Memphis also expects to have a key cog back in point guard Mike Conley (foot) and perhaps defensive stalwart Tony Allen (hamstring) while forward Jeff Green (back) is questionable. Grizzlies center Marc Gasol was bothered by an ankle injury late in the regular season but is now close to full health. Last season, Portland advanced to the second round for the first time since 1999-2000 before losing to San Antonio in the Western Conference finals while Memphis lost to Oklahoma City in the first round

TRENDS:

*Trail Blazers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall.
*Grizzlies are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. Western Conference.
*Over is 4-0 in Trail Blazers last 4 games following a SU loss of more than 10 points.
*Under is 23-4 in Grizzlies last 27 home games.


San Antonio Spurs at Los Angeles Clippers (-1.5, 207)

The San Antonio Spurs are red-hot entering the postseason and their hopes of making another title run begin Sunday when they visit the third-seeded Los Angeles Clippers in the opening game of the first-round Western Conference series. Defending champion San Antonio won 11 consecutive contests before losing its regular-season finale against New Orleans and plummeting to the No. 6 seed.

Los Angeles also finished the season with a torrid stretch by winning its final seven games and 14 of its last 15. The two teams squared off in the second round of the 2012 postseason and San Antonio swept the four-game series, and Clippers players like center DeAndre Jordan haven’t forgotten that feeling. “They know what it takes to win a championship and they know how to turn it on,” Jordan told reporters. “For us to be a championship team, we have to be that way and better, especially against a team that’s been together so long.” The Spurs are in the playoffs for the 18th consecutive season and have won five NBA titles.

TRENDS:

*Spurs are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a S.U. loss.
*Clippers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games.
*Over is 7-1 in Spurs last 8 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
*Under is 5-1 in Clippers last 6 vs. Western Conference.

Blackhawks to sit Crawford, turn to Darling in Game 3

The Chicago Blackhawks will send backup Scott Darling to the crease in Game 3 Sunday against the Nashville Predators, per ESPN's Scott Powers.

The decision comes on the heels of starting netminder Corey Crawford allowing six goals Friday evening. Darling came into Game 1 in relief of Crawford, stopping all 42 shots he faced in a 4-3 victory. The series is tied at 1-1.

Books are currently dealing Chicago as -160 moneyline faves.


Preds D Weber will miss Games 3 and 4

All-Star defenseman Shea Weber of the Nashville Predators did not make the trip to Chicago with his teammates on Saturday and will miss Games 3 and 4 of their Western Conference playoff series against the Blackhawks.

Weber sustained a lower-body injury during the second period of the game Friday night and did not return.

Center Mike Fisher of the Predators, who left the opening game of the series because of a lower-body injury, made the trip but remains day-to-day.

The series is tied, 1-1, heading into Game 3 on Sunday.


Home ice providing nothing for Islanders

After splitting the first two games, the New York Islanders and the Washington Capitals head to Nassau Coliseum. What should be a home ice advantage has been anything but for the Islanders, as the team is 2-8 in their last 10 at home, one of the wins was against the terrible Buffalo Sabres.

In those eight losses though, the Isles have lost by only one goal in six of those occasions.

The series is 1-1, with the Islanders currently -140 Sunday.



NHL roundup: Lightning tie series vs. Detroit at 1-1

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Lightning coach Jon Cooper felt his team played well in a 3-2 loss in Thursday's playoff opener, so Saturday wasn't bouncing back as much as looking for more of the same.

The scoreboard looked much better for the Lightning, who got two goals from center Tyler Johnson on the way to a 5-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings at Amalie Arena.

"When you say 'bouncing back,' it sounds like you're saying we weren't very good in Game 1," Cooper said. "I thought we were pretty good in Game 1, and we continued with that. I'd like to see us coming out 2-0, but it's 1-1, and that's better than 0-2. So now we go win one on the road."

The series heads to third-seeded Detroit for Games 3 and 4 on Tuesday and Thursday. The teams split two games there during the season.

The five goals were the most allowed by the Red Wings in a playoff game since 2010.

Blues 4, Wild 1

ST. LOUIS -- Right wing Vladimir Tarasenko scored his first career playoff hat trick and goalie Jake Allen stopped 24 of 25 Minnesota shots as St. Louis evened the first-round playoff series at a win each.

Game 3 of the best-of-seven series will be Monday night in Minnesota.

Tarasenko, who led the Blues with 37 goals during the season, had been held without a shot on goal in the Blues' Game 1 loss. But he made certain that didn't happen again Saturday, scoring his fifth and sixth career playoff goals in the first period before completing the hat trick with an empty-net goal with 17 seconds to play.

Tarasenko, playing his ninth career playoff game, became the first Blues player to record a hat trick in the playoffs since Mike Sillinger in 2004. It was the 13th playoff hat trick in franchise history.

Left wing Patrik Berglund scored the Blues' other goal. Defenseman Marco Scandella scored for Minnesota.

Penguins 4, Rangers 3

NEW YORK -- Center Sidney Crosby scored a pair of second-period goals as the Penguins evened their best-of-seven series with New York.

Game 3 is Monday night in Pittsburgh.

Center Brandon Sutter and left winger Chris Kunitz also scored for the Penguins on Saturday, while goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 23 of 26 shots.

The Rangers received goals from centers Derek Stepan and Derick Brassard and left winger Rick Nash. Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist made 18 saves.

Washington Capitals at New York Islanders (-140, 5.5)
Series tied 1-1

After watching his team even its Eastern Conference first-round series without him, Braden Holtby plans to help the Washington Capitals gain the advantage when they visit the New York Islanders for Game 3 on Sunday afternoon. Sidelined with an illness, Holtby witnessed rookie Philipp Grubauer make 18 saves in his playoff debut and Jason Chimera score the go-ahead goal in the Capitals' 4-3 victory in Game 2 on Friday.

"I didn't stop shaking until 20 minutes after the game," said Holtby, who was able to take part in a brief practice on Saturday. Holtby had a good reason for his nerves as Washington yielded three of the first four goals on Friday before captain Alex Ovechkin scored late in the second period and Nicklas Backstrom and Chimera tallied nearly four minutes apart early in the third. "In the beginning we were pretty aggressive. We got a 3-1 lead and we got a little less aggressive," Islanders captain John Tavares said. "The second half of that game wasn't our best."

TRENDS:

*Capitals are 4-0 in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.
*Islanders are 2-8 in their last 10 home games.
*Over is 5-0 in Capitals last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.
*Over is 4-1-1 in Islanders last 6 vs. Metropolitan.


Nashville Predators at Chicago Blackhawks (-160, 5)
Series tied 1-1

The Nashville Predators came up with a huge performance in a must-win Game 2 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series, but they must go forward without their captain as the series shifts to Chicago on Sunday for Game 3 against the Blackhawks. Stud defenseman Shea Weber suffered a lower-body injury in Friday's 6-2 victory and will miss at least the next two games of the best-of-seven series that is tied at 1-1.

Weber, a four-time All-Star who has not missed more than four games in any of the past seven seasons, was hurt after taking a check from Chicago's Brandon Saad early in the second period of Game 2. "You certainly don't want to lose a guy who takes down as many minutes as (Weber) and the captain of your team,” Nashville coach Peter Laviolette. Chicago will be making a switch in net, replacing starter Corey Crawford with rookie Scott Darling. Crawford was yanked after surrendering three first-period goals in Game 1 and was lit up for six tallies in Game 2, including three in a span of 2:19.

TRENDS:

*Predators are 20-6 in their last 26 after allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game.
*Blackhawks are 0-5 in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.
*Over is 7-1-3 in Predators last 11 overall.
*Under is 3-0-1 in Blackhawks last 4 home games.


Montreal Canadiens at Ottawa Senators (-135, 5)
Canadiens lead series 2-0

While "The Hamburglar" was all the rage over the final 2 1/2 months of the season, Ottawa Senators coach Dave Cameron may be changing his appetite as it relates to his starting goaltender. Whether Andrew Hammond or Craig Anderson gets the nod for Game 3 on Sunday is unknown as the host Senators look to climb back into their Eastern Conference first-round series with the Atlantic Division-champion Montreal Canadiens.

"I haven't made up my mind yet," Cameron told the Ottawa Sun after watching Hammond yield seven goals on 81 shots in the first two games of the series. Hammond performed markedly better in the regular season, sporting a scintillating 20-1-2 mark with a 1.79 goals-against average while limiting veteran Anderson to just two appearances despite competing in 23 playoff games. Montreal's Alex Galchenyuk doesn't have a great deal of postseason experience, but came through in the clutch by scoring 3:40 into overtime to win Game 2 on Friday. The tally was the 21-year-old's second career playoff overtime goal, with the other coming in the 2014 Eastern Conference final versus the New York Rangers.

TRENDS:

*Canadiens are 2-8 in the last 10 meetings in Ottawa.
*Senators are 4-1 in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
*Over is 4-0-2 in Canadiens last 6 games following a win.
*Over is 20-7-3 in Senators last 30 home games.


Vancouver Canucks at Calgary Flames (-130, 5)
Series tied 1-1

****************

TRENDS:

*Canucks are 1-6 in their last 7 Conference Quarterfinals games.
*Flames are 5-1 in their last 6 games following a loss of 3 or more goals.
*Over is 5-2-4 in Canucks last 11 games playing on 1 days rest.
*Under is 6-1 in Flames last 7 home games.
