Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

Six of the top prospects for the Tampa Bay Rays:

1) Wander Franco, SS— Will be 19 years old on March 1.

2) Brendan McKay, P/DH— Started 11 games in the majors last year.

3) Matthew Liberatore, P— Was 6-2, 3.10 as a 19-year old in A ball.

4) Vidal Brujan, 2B/SS— Hit .266 in 55 games in Southern League.

6) Shane Baz, P— Acquired from Pirates in Chris Archer trade.

7) Brent Honeywell, P— Missed last two years with injuries.

**********

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

13) Robert Covington was traded from Minnesota to Houston this week; he took a 6am flight to Houston Wednesday, caught a red-eye flight to LA, had a crash course film session with the Rockets’ coaching staff, and later scored 14 points in 30:00 off the bench at Staples Thursday.

Houston won the game 121-111; they were +16 with Covington on the court, -6 with him on the bench.

Covington is making $11,301,219 this year, which breaks down to $137,819.74 per game.

12) Suns 127, Rockets 91— Houston beats the Lakers in Staples Thursday, then loses by 36 in Phoenix the next night. Kelly Oubre scored a career-high 39 points for the Suns.

11) Maryland 75, Illinois 66— Illini scored 42 points in first half, only 24 in second; Maryland swept them, which is impressive.

10) South Alabama 70, Troy 66— When ESPN started up 40 years ago, Sun Belt was one of the first leagues to let them televise their basketball games- there were a lot of Sun Belt games on TV back then. As ESPN’s profile grew, they dropped the Sun Belt, which is too bad- the league is pretty good right now and deserves more TV exposure.

9) Northern Illinois 57, Kent State 54— Huskies haven’t been to NCAA Tournament since 1996; they’re 15-9 this year, 8-3 in MAC, leading the West Division. Can the Huskies make it this year?

8) VCU 73, Davidson 62— 148th consecutive home sellout for VCU, in the 7,637-seat Siegel Center; its good to be a big fish in a smaller pond.

7) Former UNLV basketball coach Marvin Menzies sold his old home in a Las Vegas suburb for $1.15M on Friday; Menzies is now an assistant coach at Grand Canyon.

6) Why doesn’t ESPN or the MLB Network televise the Caribbean Series? They want to grow the game, but they blow a chance here to promote the game- this is good baseball being played.

5) Kendrys Morales retired after a major league career where he hit 219 homers and earned around $75M; I’ll always remember Morales for hitting a walk-off homer, leaping on home plate in celebration, but breaking his ankle when his spikes slipped off of home plate; he missed the whole 2011 season because of that injury.

4) North Carolina A&T is leaving the MEAC for the Big South Conference, apparently to reduce travel time for road games.

3) Clemson’s offensive coordinator makes $1.7M a year; if he’s smart, he’ll grab a head coaching job after QB Trevor Lawrence moves on to the NFL a year from now.

2) Houston Astros players can’t be penalized by MLB in the sign-stealing debacle; they were given immunity so they would tell MLB what they knew about what went on.

1) Turns out the Peloton exercise bike costs $58 a month, for someone in a studio somewhere to yell at you while you ride an exercise bike at the crack of dawn. Ummm….no thanks.

TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS AT MONTREAL CANADIENS
BUDS AND HABS LOOKING FOR GOALS

Searching for an Over on Saturday night, we set our sites on two teams who are in the Top-4 in Expected Goals For over their last five and in the bottom half in Expected Goals Against. The Toronto Maple Leafs (7-3 O/U last 10) and Montreal Canadiens (2-2-1 O/U since the All-Star break) have played each other twice this year with 18 total goals being scored in the pair of Montreal wins.

The Leafs lead the league in High-Danger Chances For since the break and have been a bit unlucky as their shooting percentage of 18 percent is well off their average of 23 percent.

Even worse is the Leafs’ shooting percentage on scoring chances. Since January 17, they are scoring on good chances at a 14-percent rate (15th in the league), but on the season, they own the 5th-best shooting percentage on scoring chances.

We like more goals in this Atlantic rivalry. Take the Over on Saturday night, even if it means jumping on the intimidating 7.

NEW YORK ISLANDERS AT TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING
FINDING VALUE IN THE DOG

The New York Islanders have owned the Tampa Bay Lightning this year winning both matchups by a combined score of 10-3. The Islanders won in Tampa as +160 road dogs and as +100 home dogs. Taking a stab at the line, we’d assume New York would be a big road dog on Saturday night which is fine with the Islanders as they have won six of their last nine road games as the underdog.

Tampa Bay has dominated at home dating back to December 7, going 10-3 SU, but have played a slew of bottom-half teams from the East. The Islanders could reward backers in a big way as the underdog even though both teams have similar record. We are barking at the moon on Saturday night and taking the Islanders as big road dogs.

SUNDAY OVER DAY

The Weekend’s finale gives us a slate of five games with Detroit and Boston starting things off at 12:30 ET and the Wild and Avalanche finishing things at 7:30 ET. However, we are focusing on another match with our eyes set on the Over.

The Chicago Blackhawks and Winnipeg Jets are both averaging under three goals a game since the break but both clubs sit in the Top-10 in Expected Goals for (WPG 4th; CHI 9th) and Expected Goals Against (WPG 3rd; CHI 10th). So not only are we getting two clubs who are getting AND giving up good chances, but we should get a great total as they have been scoring and letting in goals at lower numbers than the stats indicate.

In the last 10 matchups, the Over has hit seven times including a 5-2 Chicago win back on January 19. We are taking the Over here and would love to see a 6, but have no problems with 6.5 either.

GOALIE PROFILE: TUUKKA RASK, BOSTON BRUINS

Since returning from a concussion that sidelined him for three games, Tuukka Rask has picked up right where he left off. The Bruins goalie hasn’t allowed more than two goals in a start since December 24th and hasn’t lost in regulation across nine straight outings.

The veteran goalie is coming off a 3-0 shutout win versus Vancouver on Tuesday and is in line to make the start against the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday. Be careful taking the Over in Boston’s weekend game’s as the Bruins are 2-6 O/U in their last eight and Rask is 3-7 O/U in his last 10 starts.

INJURY UPDATE: D CODY CECI, TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

The Leafs just got back Top-4 defenseman Jake Muzzin but will now be without Cody Ceci (20:38 min/g) thanks to an ankle injury. With Morgan Reilly still out, this will put the Buds down two blueliners again for “a while” according to reports.

Ceci is a punching bag for the media, but he is at least an NHL-caliber defenseman who has a near-neutral Corsi For percentage. The absence is bad news for a team without its best goalie and just had to pull a few strings to bring in backup Jack Campbell from Los Angeles to plug some holes in a sinking ship. It’s tough to trust the Leafs right now.

HAT TRICK TRENDS

• Last week we were talking about underdogs, but the favorites have swung the battle back in their favor after going 28-17 (62 percent) last week. Away favorites were the big winners over that stretch going 15-5 (75 percent) but covered the -1.5 puckline just seven times in 20 games. Home favorites did an even worse job of covering (28 percent). Over the last month and on the year, favorites are covering at 35 percent.

• Only four teams are hitting the first-period Over at 70 percent or better: Washington Capitals 8-2 O/U last 10, Anaheim Ducks 8-2 O/U last 10, Winnipeg Jets 8-2 O/U last 10 and the Chicago Blackhawks 7-3 O/U last 10.

• Looking to play some Overs? Be careful of these goalies as they lead the league in save percentage over the last month: BOS-Tukka Rask .963, CLS-Elvis Merzlikins .953, MTL-Carey Price .944, TB-Andrei Vasilevsky .940 and CAR-James Reimer .938.
