Heat at Spurs: What bettors need to know

Miami Heat at San Antonio Spurs (1.5, 188)

Best-of-seven series tied 2-2.

There has been only one dramatic contest in the NBA Finals, which is now a best-of-3 series when the San Antonio Spurs host the Miami Heat in Sunday’s Game 5. The Spurs won a close game in the opener and put a 36-point drubbing on the Heat in Game 3, while Miami’s two victories have been by 19 and 16 points. Tony Parker’s hamstring is an issue for the Spurs, while the Heat crave another big effort from Dwyane Wade.

Wade rediscovered his form with a spectacular performance (32 points, six steals) in Game 4 that was easily his best of a postseason in which he has been severely hampered by a knee injury. “He’s willing to go out there and compete for his teammates and open himself up for criticism with expectations of something bigger,” Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. “He’s giving us everything he has, and (Thursday) he was able to dig deeper and go to another place that we needed.” Parker has a strained right hamstring and revealed Saturday that it could tear at any time and that he would be sidelined for about 10 days if it were the regular season. Parker is hopeful that the two full days off between games will allow him to play better on Sunday after he gave a substandard performance in Game 4.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ABC

ABOUT THE HEAT: Forward LeBron James had his best outing of the series with 33 points in Game 4 but his performance was just the third-most crucial behind those of Wade and center Chris Bosh. After a largely ineffective postseason, Bosh suddenly has three consecutive double-doubles and his 20 points matched his high of the postseason. He grabbed 13 rebounds and is averaging 14.3 points and 9.5 rebounds in the finals. “I don’t know really what the difference has been with Chris,” Spoelstra said. “All we know is we need it.” James was 15-of-25 from the field in Game 4 after going a combined 21-for-54 over the first three games.

ABOUT THE SPURS: Veteran guard Manu Ginobili is struggling through a woeful series. The 35-year-old Ginobili has scored seven or fewer points in each of the last three games and is averaging 7.5 points and shooting 34.5 percent from the field. “He’s having a tough playoffs, and hasn’t really found a rhythm or found his game yet,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. “I think that he’s obviously not as confident as usual, and he knows full well he hasn’t performed the way he would like and the way he’s used to.” Power forward Tim Duncan is doing his part with two 20-point scoring games and three double-digit performances and guard Danny Green is 19-for-28 from 3-point range while averaging 16.5 points.

TRENDS:

* Heat are 0-7 ATS in their last seven games following a win.
* Spurs are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a loss.
* Over is 4-1 in Heat’s last five road games.
* Over is 5-0 in Spurs’ last five home games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The NBA Finals has been tied at 2-2 on 27 previous occasions with the Game 5 winner claiming the title 20 times.

2. After matching the NBA Finals record with four turnovers in Game 1, San Antonio has committed 49 over the last three games.

3. Bosh was fined $5,000 for flopping in Game 4 after being lightly bumped by Duncan.

Under trending in MLB Father's Day games

As we look forward to celebrating Father's Day this Sunday, we take a look at the over/under results during the past seven seasons in the MLB schedule on the day we celebrate dear old dad.

Over the past few seasons, Father's Day is a day on the calendar where we are used to a full slate of interleague games. This season, with the new IL format, the Washington Nationals at the Cleveland Indians is the only IL matchup on the board.

In total, there have been 105 games played on Father's Day. The over/under record is 49-54-2 in those games.

Since 2009, however, the trend is leaning toward the under. In that time, the under is 38-22 in the 60 Father's Day games.

Last year, the under went 11-4.

Here is a look at the O/U break down on Father's Day since 2006:

June 18, 2006: 8-7 O/U
June 17, 2007: 12-3 O/U
June 15, 2008: 7-6-2 O/U
June 21, 2009: 5-10 O/U

Sunday Night Baseball: Giants at Braves
By STEVE MERRIL

It's West vs. East on Sunday Night Baseball as the Giants take on the Braves in Atlanta.

San Francisco Giants at Atlanta Braves (-147, 8)

TIP TOP TIM NO MORE

Tim Lincecum is far from his ace days as he takes the mound on Sunday night. The righty is just 4-6 with a 4.70 ERA. He has given up 15 runs in his last three road starts against the Pirates, Rockies, and Diamondbacks. The Giants’ pitcher faced the Braves at home back on May 12 and gave up just two hits and three walks in seven innings while picking up a 5-1 win. Lincecum has been inconsistent this season; he has six starts in which he has allowed two earned runs or less. Those good outings have been mixed in with seven other starts where he has allowed four runs or more.

JULIO IS JARRING HITTERS

Julio Teheran is 4-3 with a 3.62 ERA on the year for the Braves. He has struck out 58 batters while walking just 15 hitters in 77 innings of work. The last time he was home, the righty nearly no-hit the Pirates. His next start was a rough one in San Diego as he gave up five runs in just six innings of work. He beat the Giants in San Francisco back on May 9. In that game, Teheran gave up three runs and seven hits striking out three while walking none. In his last 10 starts, Teheran has allowed six hits or more seven times.

INJURY REPORT

The Giants are a relatively healthy team. They have Angel Pagan and Pablo Sandoval on the disabled list. The Panda is expected to be activated around June 24th. They are also without Ryan Vogelsong who is dealing with a fractured right hand. Atlanta’s injury list is also short and about to become shorter with the return of Brandon Beachy on June 18. He had Tommy John surgery last year. The bullpen is without Jonny Venters and Eric O’Flaherty who both underwent Tommy John this season.

TRENDS

The under is 4-1-1 in the Giants’ last six Sunday games.
Giants are 4-1 in Lincecum’s last five Sunday starts

Braves are 12-4 in their last 16 Sunday games
The under is 5-1 in Teheran’s last six starts.

HITTERS TO WATCH

Brian McCann 10-for-30 vs. Lincecum
Justin Upton 11-for-47 vs. Lincecum

Buster Posey 2-for-3 vs. Teheran
Brandon Belt 2-for-3 vs. Teheran

Confederations Cup betting: Day 2 matches

The FIFA Confederations Cup continues with two matches Sunday. Here is a quick cheat sheet for the two games kicking off Father's Day.

Mexico v Italy (+240, +210, +125)

Site: Rio De Janeiro

These two sides continue the action in Group A following the opening match between Brazil and Japan Saturday. Mexico has struggled to score in recent World Cup qualifying matches and is coming off a 0-0 draw against Costa Rica. The Italians might be without scoring-threat Stephan El Shaarawy due to a muscle strain. Italy had an underwhelming performance in a friendly against Haiti resulting in a 2-2 draw.

The last time the two nations played was a friendly in 2010. Mexico won 2-1.


Spain v Uruguay (-167, +275, +125)

Site: Recife

Spain is right behind Brazil for the tourney favorites at +163 and get action started in Group B. And with good reason. Spain has World Cup and European Championship trophies and is celebrated as the best team in the world. Oh. Also, the Spaniards haven't lost in 21 matches. Uruguay will have two of the best strikers in the world on display as Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez will lead a threatening strike force. However, Uruguay has suffered some bad losses in World Cup qualifying to teams like Bolivia, Colombia and Chile.

Spain defeated Uruguay 3-1 in a friendly in February as Pedro scored twice. In the six matches the two nations have played, Uruguay has never won.

NASCAR betting: Quicken Loans 400 preview

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads north to the Irish Hills and the Michigan International Speedway for the Quicken Loans 400 Sunday.

Michigan is one of the fastest racetracks on the circuit and the wide corners allow for passing.

Here’s our betting preview:

Favorite: Jimmie Johnson (+400). . . 521 points

Johnson, who leads all drivers with 521 points, dominated last week’s race at Pocono and picked up his third win of the season. Johnson has four top-fives and nine top-10s in 22 career starts at MIS.

Live dog: Clint Bowyer (+2500)

Bowyer has the highest driver’s rating for the last four races at Michigan. He finished in seventh place in both races at MIS last year and finished in eighth place in the pair of races in 2011.

Long shot: Ryan Newman (+4000)

Newman posted his second top-five finish of the season last week in Pocono. He has two wins, five top-fives and seven top-10s in 22 starts at MIS.

Key stat: Roush Fenway Racing has 12 Sprint Cup Series wins at Michigan, the most of any team.

Notable quotable:

“Regardless of new pavement or not, it’s wide-open racing, and you can run from top to bottom. The biggest thing used to be to find grip there. But with the new surface, there is a ton of grip now. Before, you had grip for maybe five laps, and then you’d just be out to lunch. But now the tire wear is all out the window, and the racetrack is very fast. And the wide racetrack is good. That’s what makes Michigan so exciting and so fun. That’s the biggest deal about it.” Kyle Bush on MIS.

Jimmie Johnson 4-1
Matt Kenseth 7-1
Kasey Kahne 7-1
Dale Earnhardt Jr. 8-1

U.S. Open odds: Value in the field behind Mickelson

Phil Mickelson is the favorite heading into the final round of play at the U.S. Open and is the only player under par after 54 holes.

Par (70) was a good enough score for Mickelson to retain his lead and remain the favorite (+250) at Merion Golf Club with an overall score of 1-under. Lefty has never won the U.S. Open and will be celebrating his 43rd birthday Sunday.

Hunter Mahan (+600), Charl Schwartzel (+450) and Steve Stricker (+550) are all within stroke of Phil heading into the final round.

Justin Rose, Billy Horschel and Luke Donald are just two strokes back of the lead and also within striking distance Sunday.

Tiger Woods fell off the map Saturday after firing a 6-over 76 – his worst third-round score at the U.S. Open as a pro. He now sits at 9-over par for the tournament, making it virtually impossible for him to capture his fourth career U.S. Open title.

Here are the outright odds courtesy of Bet365:

Phil Mickelson +250
Charl Schwartzel +450
Steve Stricker +550
Hunter Mahan +600
Justin Rose +900
Luke Donald +1000
Billy Horschel +1400
Jason Day 1400
Rickie Fowler +2800

Stephen Nover | NBA Sides - Sunday, Jun 16 2013 8:07PM
709 MIA -1.0(-110) Hilton vs 710 SAN triple-dime bet

Analysis:
The Heat have another gear. The Spurs don't. The Heat's Big Three are in their prime. Two of the Spurs' Big Three are past their prime and Tony Parker isn't 100 percent with hamstring and calf injuries. Miami has held Parker to an average of 11.3 points per game during the last 3 games. Ginobili is shooting 34.5 percent from the field during the series. Duncan is shooting 41.5 percent from the floor in the series. Contrast this with the Heat where LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh put together their best game of the series in Thursday's Game 4 109-93 victory. James was near unstoppable making 15 of 25 shots from the field, Wade was his old superstar self with 32 points and Bosh got his confidence going chipping in with 20 points. The Heat turned up the intensity and the difference was startling. The Heat stepped up in the fourth quarter in Game 4 finishing on an incredible stretch of scoring 51 points in 32 possession, which averages out to 159.4 points per 100 possessions. The Spurs can't match that kind of production. I see the Heat building on this. They have it together again. San Antonio doesn't and doesn't have the capability. The pressure is squarely on San Antonio to win this Game 5 home game. It's a new thing for some of the key San Antonio contributors such as Gary Neal and Danny Green. Not so for the Heat. They've been through this and their Big Three thrive on it. The Heat have covered 21 of their last 28 road games. They are 15-6 ATS on the road when playing an opponent with a winning home mark.

Drivers to Watch

Denny Hamlin (10/1) - He is certainly back in the swing of things after missing four races with his back injury. Since his return, Hamlin has finished eighth or better in three of four races. The one exception was Dover, when he was racing from the pole position and leading for 41 laps before crashing. Hamlin's double-digit odds at Michigan are certainly favorable considering his history here (two wins, five top-5's in 14 starts). In the past four spring races at this track, he's finished 3rd, 1st, 1st and 34th last spring as the result of a crash. Expect a redemption performance and put your largest wager on Hamlin on Sunday.

Greg Biffle (12/1) - The defending champion of this track racked up his third career win at Michigan last fall, giving him an impressive nine top-5's in 20 starts at this venue. The streaky Biffle could be poised to go on a nice little run here as we approach the start of summer. After a 7.5 average finish over a four-race stretch, he then had six straight finishes outside the top-12 (25.0 average). Last week we predicted Biffle (35-to-1 odds) to contend at Pocono, and he made us look great with a second-place showing. You could certainly make the case of placing your largest wager on Biffle this weekend, as he and Hamlin appear to shine above the rest in terms of betting value.

Jimmie Johnson (4/1) - Maybe the weekly advice should be laying an automatic unit on Johnson, whose three wins in 14 races this season have come with 12-to-1 odds (Daytona), 4-to-1 odds (Martinsville) and 5-to-1 odds (Pocono). And even though he hadn't won at Pocono since 2004, we still picked Johnson as the best bet of the five chalkiest drivers last week (Hamlin, Kenseth, Kahne and Kyle Busch), and he sure came through. Johnson has never won at Michigan, but he's finished sixth or better five times in his past 11 starts at this track. In his past three starts, he came in 2nd place, 5th place and 27th last fall due to engine failure in a race he led for 23 laps. He's incredibly chalky for a driver that has never won at this venue, but Johnson is just too hot to ignore completely.

Matt Kenseth (7/1) - He has really struggled since winning at Darlington, placing 15th at Charlotte, 40th (engine problems) at Dover and 25th at Pocono. But this is exactly the setting to move back up the standings. His average finish is an impressive 9.6 in 27 career starts at Michigan, where he's finished outside the top-20 just once due to a crash in the 2007 spring race. The past two spring races, Kenseth finished runner-up in 2011 to Denny Hamlin, and then placed third last year. There is better value on the board, but Kenseth is still worthy of a small wager here.

Joey Logano (40/1) - There aren't a whole lot of darkhorses to choose from in this race, but Logano has performed well enough on all different sized tracks to like him again here. In the past eight races he's actually finished (excluding Kansas crash and Talladega engine problems) the 23-year-old has placed 10th or better six times (3rd, 3rd, 5th, 5th, 7th and 10th). He also has three top-10's in his past seven starts at Michigan.
