The Cavaliers will be looking to keep their playoff winning streak intact on Wednesday night when they host the Magic in the opening game of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Cavs are coming off back-to-back sweeps of the Pistons and Hawks in the first two rounds of the postseason, closing out Atlanta with an 84-74 win on May 11. The Magic bounced the defending-champion Celtics in the second round, cruising to a 101-82 win in that series' deciding contest on Sunday.

Oddsmakers are still with the Cavaliers for the third round, as they've been listed as 9-point home favorites for Wednesday night; Cleveland has managed to cover seven of eight spreads so far in the postseason, while Orlando is 6-7 vs. the number over 13 games. The total for the series opener is pegged at 184.5 points.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

Struggling Rays starter Scott Kazmir (4-3, 6.97 ERA) will be looking to get back on track on Wednesday night when his team continues their home series against the Athletics. The lefthander was knocked around for seven earned runs on 10 hits over 3 1-3 innings of work against the Indians last time out. Kazmir, though, did beat the Athletics back on April 24. Taking the mound for Oakland with be lefthander Brett Anderson, who is winless at 0-4 with a 6.03 ERA in six outings.

Also on the American League schedule for Wednesday: Texas at Detroit, Baltimore at the Yankees, Cleveland at Kansas City, Minnesota at the White Sox, the Angels at Seattle, and Toronto at Boston. Probable Blue Jays starter Brett Cecil is 2-0 with an impressive 1.80 ERA in his three starts for the team this year.

Over in the National League on Wednesday the Cardinals are expected to turn to Chris Carpenter for their home game against the rival Cubs. The righthander went just 10 innings at the beginning of the season before landing on the DL with a strained ribcage muscle, going 1-0 without allowing an earned run. The Cubs counter with Ryan Dempster, who is 3-2 with a 4.65 ERA through his eight starts.
