Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

Monmouth College ran a poll of favorite Halloween candies:

— Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups: 36%

— Snickers: 18%

— M&M’s: 11%

— Hershey bars: 6%

— Candy corn: 6%

— Skittles: 5%

**********

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here…..

13) Phillies signed Bryce Harper, Padres signed Manny Machado, but Washington won the World Series. Here is the money Washington spent on pitching:

— Strasburg: seven years, $175M
— Scherzer: seven years, $210M
— Corbin: six years, $140M
— Sanchez: two years, $19M

Starting pitching still matters.

12) Gerrit Cole is about to break the bank in free agency; wonder what his agent’s blood pressure was Wednesday night when Cole started throwing in the bullpen, three nights after he threw 110 pitches Sunday. Don’t want the star client getting hurt.

Lets say Cole banks $35M a year for four years in his next contract (Zack Greinke makes that now); the agent’s take (3%) of all that would be $4,200,000.

11) 49ers 28, Cardinals 25— 49ers led 28-14 but Arizona kept America entertained until the end; Garoppolo was 27-36/306 and four TD’s passng, as the 49ers improved to 8-0.

10) When the Rams traded injured CB Aqib Talib to Miami this week, you figure Talib would be insulted or ticked off, but because of state income tax laws, Talib actually saves $560,000- he moved from California to Florida, where taxes are lower. Good week for him.

9) Two of my favorite NBA players to watch are both on the Clippers; Patrick Beverley and Montrezl Harrell; they aren’t stat guys, they just work their butts off and make life uncomfortable for their opponents. Guys like that make life easier for the stat guys.

8) Baylor 17, West Virginia 14— Bears improve to 8-0, even though they’ve been favored only twice in their last five games. Baylor has three wins by 3 or fewer points.

7) NFL road teams are 71-45-2 ATS so far this season.

6) Jimmy Butler’s stats in Miami’s 106-97 win over Atlanta Thursday: 5 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists, 6 steals and 3 blocks. Heat was +21 with Butler on the floor, -12 with hm off the floor. You don’t have to score all the time to be a difference maker.

5) Wayne Ellington has scored 5,298 points in his 11-year NBA career; Knicks are the ninth NBA team he’s played for. His best scoring year was two years ago, when he scored 11.8 ppg for Miami.

Ellington played three years at North Carolina, scoring 14.7 ppg, was 28th player taken in the 2009 Draft. Betcha he could write a helluva book, playing on nine teams in 11 years.

4) Georgia Southern 24, Appalachian State 21— Mountaineers had gotten up to #20 in country, but then lost at home on national TV to their longtime rivals from back in their I-AA days.

3) Joel Embiid and Karl Anthony Towns both got suspended two games for their part in a small scuffle during Wednesday’s game. On NBA TV, couple of retired players were laughing, saying that back in the 90’s, when the NBA game was much more physical than it is now, the players wouldn’t even have gotten tossed out of the game.

2) Kansas City Royals named former Cardinal skipper Mike Matheny their new manager; he was 591-474 in seven years in St Louis, 21-22 in playoff games, but he missed the playoffs this last three years, which is why the Cardinals told him to take a hike.

1) Only 105 days until pitchers/catchers report for the 2020 baseball season.

READY TO START

Don't be surprised to see the Colorado Avalanche enjoying a first intermission lead as they look to continue their hot start to the season Friday night against visiting Dallas. The Avalanche have excelled in a variety of ways en route to the best record in the Western Conference, including an impressive first-period showing: Colorado ranks second in the league in scoring over the opening 20 minutes (17) while boasting a +3 goal differential for the period.

Dallas, on the other hand, has scored just nine times in the opening frame with a -1 differential. We like Colorado on the first-period moneyline.

DON'T BE FOOLED

You might see two high-powered teams in the Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins facing off Saturday afternoon and immediately mash the Over. But don't be so hasty: these teams have actually been a superior Under play in recent meetings, having combined for five or fewer goals in four of six encounters in which Oilers mega-star Connor McDavid has played.

But if you're not convinced, you could certainly opt for some player point props instead; McDavid has 10 points in six meetings with the Penguins, while Pittsburgh superstar Sidney Crosby has points in three straight games vs. the Oilers.

THE CURE FOR WHAT AILS THEM?

The Chicago Blackhawks have had all sorts of problems generating offense this season, particularly on the road. But a trip to Staples Center could be the remedy for their offensive maladies as they tangle with the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday Night. The Blackhawks have scored just three goals in their first three games away from Chicago; only the New Jersey Devils have been less proficient on the road.

The Kings have accommodated many a visitor in the early part of the season, boasting a hideous 3.33 home goals-against average that ranks eighth-worst in the league as of Friday. We see Chicago breaking out here.

HOME-ICE DISADVANTAGE

The road team has been strangely dominant in the recent head-to-head series between the Calgary Flames and Washington Capitals, which resumes Sunday Night at Capital One Arena. The road team has prevailed in eight of the previous 11 meetings, though the Capitals swept their two-game series last season and have won three of the past four encounters overall.

That said, Calgary was one of the top road teams in the NHL last season, with its 24 away victories ranking second-best in the league. And as good as Washington has been this year, it enters Friday with a minus-1 goal margin in five home games.

GOALIE PROFILE: MATT MURRAY, PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

Oddsmakers seem to have high expectations of the Penguins on a yearly basis, which means less profit opportunity for Pittsburgh bettors. But Murray has helped keep the Penguins in the black in the early going, with Pittsburgh entering Friday at +1.57 units won for the season.

Murray is off to a sensational start; his seven wins rank second (behind only former teammate Marc-Andre Fleury) while he sits sixth in goals-against average (2.20) and ninth in save percentage (.923). His netminding prowess is a major reason why Pittsburgh is 5-8 O/U despite owning one of the top scoring averages in the NHL.

INJURY UPDATE, F PATRIK LAINE, WINNIPEG JETS

The Jets have a litany of injury concerns at the moment – and while Patrik Laine's certainly isn't the most serious, it could very well have the biggest short-term impact as Winnipeg visits San Jose on Friday night. Laine is day-to-day with what the team is calling a "minor" lower-body injury, but he won't be in action against the Sharks.

Laine has been one of the offensive lynch pins for the Jets this season, sharing the team lead with 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) in 12 games. What was already going to be a difficult task becomes even tougher for the Jets, which is why we like the home team on the -1.5 puck line.

HAT TRICK TRENDS

• Scores are starting to creep up, as evidenced by last week's eye-opening totals trends. There were 24 Overs in the previous seven-day period, compared to only 15 Unders in that same span; extra-time games played a big part, going 7-3 O/U. That puts the Over tally at 100 for the season, with the Under at 87 – so don't be surprised to see a few more 6.5s moving forward.

• Peter MacDougall has finally been unseated as the Over King of the Referees. Eric Furlatt has taken the lead in total Over value produced in his games, with 6.48 units won thanks to an incredible 8-1 O/U mark so far; teams are averaging 7.2 goals per game in his assignments. MacDougall (9-3 O/U, +5.70 units, 6.92 gpg) is a close second.

• Two teams stand out above the rest from a totals perspective entering Friday's slate of games. The Capitals have been the strongest Over play in the league with 10 games that have surpassed the total, while the Stars are the only team in the league with double-digit Under results (10) at this point in the season.
