Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Odds to win the Stanley Cup this spring:

3-1— Chicago, Washington

7-2— Minnesota

5-1— Columbus

8-1— San Jose, Montreal, Pittsburgh

10-1— Edmonton

16-1— Anaheim

**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but…….

13) Steve Fisher retired as San Diego State’s coach Monday night, ending a 26-year career where he compiled a 495-288 record, winning the 1989 national title with Michigan, when he replaced Bill Frieder just before the NCAA tournament, after Frieder bolted for Arizona State.

Fisher later built San Diego State’s program up from practically nothing to one of the best programs in the west- he will be missed.

12) Cubs raised their World Series championship banner last night; they’ve moved the bullpens to under the outfield bleachers, and put in 500 new, premium-priced seats down each foul line, where the bullpens used to be. Cubs beat the Dodgers 3-2 to win their home opener.

11) What have you done for me lately?

NHL’s Los Angeles Kings won the Stanley Cup in 2012 and 2014, their only Cups in 52 years of existence, but they fired coach Daryl Sutter Monday, after six full seasons with the Kings- he won two of the last five Stanley Cups, but got canned- doubt he’ll be out of work long.

10) Reminder; if you’re in Las Vegas and come to the SouthPoint Casino, bring a fleece or a light jacket- excellent place to watch sports, but a little cool in here.

9) You meet people from all over the country here; was talking to a guy from Louisiana Sunday night— he told me one of the main reasons Ben Simmons chose to play basketball at LSU was that lot of the bigger-name schools wouldn’t OK a camera crew following Simmons around all the time so Showtime could do their infomercial/documentary on him.

Hard to figure out why LSU’s season went so far into the dumper that season.

8) Then there was the conversation between two friends sitting behind me last night, while I was watching the Padres-Rockies game. These two guys were talking politics and apparently they hadn’t seen each other since last November’s election. It was a spirited discussion between two friends, but it got heated now and then- they didn’t agree on too much.

7) Padres 5, Rockies 3— Wil Myers hit for the cycle, just the second Padre (Matt Kemp) ever to do that.

6) Mets 4, Phillies 3— Teams carry so many pitchers these days, their benches are short; Mets were tied 2-2 in the 7th inning last night- they had go-ahead run on second with two out and a righty on the mound for the Phils.

Terry Collins had Michael Conforto in the on-deck circle, but if he uses Conforto there, Philly puts a lefty in, and Collins counters with Wilmer Flores. So he used Flores against the righty, preserving Conforto for later in the game (he never got in) if he needed him. Smart.

5) Heat 124, Cavaliers 121— Miami stays alive in the playoff race, barely beating a Cleveland team playing without Lebron James/Kyrie Irving. Heat still needs the Pacers to lose a game to make the playoffs— Indiana beat the 76ers in Philly last night.

4) Giants 4, Diamondbacks 1— Buster Posey got beaned in his first at-bat yesterday, was removed from the game as a precaution. Giants later scored three runs on a ground ball to the pitcher, something you rarely see, even in a Little League game.

3) NFL announced the Saints-Dolphins game from London will be one of those hideous 9:30am ET kickoffs. Imagine working in a sports book here in Las Vegas, with a 6:30am kickoff? Oy.

2) Active managers who will be in the Hall of Fame someday: Bruce Bochy, Joe Maddon and Terry Francona. Cubs’ GM Theo Epstein will also get in.

1— Lawson brothers bolted Memphis’ basketball team last week; four of their teammates have since followed them out of town, gutting the Tigers’ roster- they’re basically an expansion team right now, a total rebuild.

Lawsons surfaced Monday at Kansas; we’ll see how that goes.

I know this; recruiting is a cut-throat business and it never seems to end.

Tuesday's MLB Game of the Day: Orioles at Red Sox
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pomeranz originally was slated to make his season debut over the weekend in Detroit before a rainout on Thursday curtailed that plan.

Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox (A: -105, H: -115, Total: 9.5)

What oddsmakers consider most when making MLB betting odds: Live From Las Vegas
Ever wonder what goes into those daily MLB moneylines and totals? We get the inside story behind the numbers from Johnny Avello, executive director of race and sports for the Wynn Las Vegas.

It may only be a week into the regular season, but the early story of the Boston Red Sox's campaign has been manager John Farrell's inability to fill out a lineup card in the way he had hoped during spring training. One day after placing Jackie Bradley Jr. on the disabled list, the Red Sox expect to get back Xander Bogaerts from bereavement leave on Tuesday as they return home to begin a two-game series with the Baltimore Orioles.

Farrell told reporters Monday the clubhouse at Fenway Park was fumigated and disinfected a few times while Boston was visiting Detroit over the weekend in an effort to fight a flu bug that has sidelined Hanley Ramirez and Mookie Betts while also sending reliever Robbie Ross to the disabled list. To add further insult to injury, Bradley joined Ross on the 10-day DL on Monday after learning he suffered a right knee sprain, while Bogaerts' return from Aruba was delayed a day when his flight never was cleared for takeoff Sunday night. The Orioles took a day off Monday to lick their wounds after becoming the last major-league team to suffer a loss in Sunday's 7-3 setback against the New York Yankees. Baltimore's dominant bullpen imploded in that defeat, as its relievers were charged with every run - including four in the ninth inning to Darren O'Day.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, MASN2 (Baltimore), NESN (Boston)

LINE HISTORY: The Red Sox opened at -120 and that moneyline has come back slightly to -115. The total hit the board at 9.5 and hasn't moved.

INJURY REPORT:

Orioles - CF J. Rickard (Out Indefinitely, finger), SP C. Tillman (Early May, shoulder), OF A. Santander (Out Indefinitely, elbow).

Red Sox - X. Bogaerts (Probable, personal), 1B H. Ramirez (Questionable, flu), RP J. Kelly (Questionable, flu), CF J. Bradley Jr. (Out, knee), SP D. Price (Early May, elbow), RP R. Ross Jr. (Late April, flu), SP D. Pomeranz (Probable, arm), RP C. Smith (Early June, elbow), RP T. Thornburg (Late April, shoulder).

WEATHER REPORT: It should be a beautiful evening for baseball at Fenway Park on Tuesday. Evening temperatures are expected to be in the low-70's with partly cloudy skies. Hitters may enjoy the wind as there is a 10-15 MPH wind in the forecast blowing OUT to left center.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Orioles RH Dylan Bundy (1-0, 1.29 ERA) vs. Red Sox LH Drew Pomeranz (2016: 11-12, 3.32)

Bundy allowed one run and four singles while registering eight strikeouts over seven innings in a win against Toronto on Wednesday. The fourth overall pick in the 2011 draft threw 69 of his 99 pitches for strikes and did not issue a walk as he limited the Blue Jays to one hit outside of a stretch in the third inning, when he gave up three straight. Bundy went 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA in six games (three starts) versus Boston last season and struggled against the two hitters he has faced the most: Bogaerts (4-for-12) and Dustin Pedroia (5-for-11).

Pomeranz originally was slated to make his season debut over the weekend in Detroit before a rainout on Thursday curtailed that plan, so he will draw his first start in the opener of this series instead after dealing with a flexor strain and a triceps issue during the spring. The 28-year-old struggled at Fenway after arriving from San Diego in a mid-July trade, going 0-2 with a 6.43 ERA in seven appearances (six starts). One of those poor home outings came in his lone 2016 start versus the Orioles, as he gave up five runs - including a pair of homers - over only two innings.

TRENDS:

* Orioles are 5-0 in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.
* Red Sox are 1-5 in their last 6 vs. American League East.
* Red Sox are 1-4 in Pomeranz's last 5 home starts.
* Under is 5-1 in Orioles last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter.
* Under is 4-0 in Bundy's last 4 starts overall.
* Under is 6-1 in Red Sox last 7 games vs. a right-handed starter.
* Under is 10-1-1 in Pomeranz's last 12 starts overall.
* Under is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings.

WALK-OFFS:

1. Orioles CF Adam Jones and 1B Chris Davis have homered in the same game 36 times since becoming teammates in 2011 - the highest total for any teammates over that span.
2. Boston is the only team that has yet to allow a stolen base, as Cs Sandy Leon (three) and Christian Vazquez (one) have thrown out the runner on each of their four attempts.
3. All seven of the runs Baltimore's bullpen has allowed in 20 2/3 innings this season came in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.

CONSENSUS: Early consensus on this rivalry matchup has 62 percent of the wagers on the home team Boston Red Sox and Over is picking up 52 percent of the totals selections.
