Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

Six of the top minor league prospects of the Arizona Diamondbacks.......

1) Archie Bradley, P-- Was 1-4, 5.18 in five AAA starts at age 22

3) Aaron Blair, P-- Highest player ever drafted out of Marshall U.

4) Yasmany Tomas 3B/OF-- Cuban defector got $68.5M to sign.

8) Pete O'Brien C/1B-- Acquired from Bronx in Martin Prado deal.

11) Robbie Ray, P-- Went 1-4, 8.16 in six starts with Detroit LY.

18) Andrew Chafin, P-- Went 0-1, 3.86 in three starts for Arizona LY.

**********

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

13) Eldrick Woods was +2 on 3rd green (12th hole of his day) when his caddy picked up his ball marker and they went home; he has a bad back and withdrew, which forced Golf Channel announcers to actually watch other golfers play. I asked this last week, but how long does this go on before it stops being a story?

12) Woods now has three missed cuts and three WDs in his last eight tournaments, as reports circulate that he still owes his ex-wife $50M from their divorce settlement.

11) There is a golfer on the ladies tour named Brooke Pancake; tremendous name. If she did a radio talk show with former Giants' CB Elvis Patterson, they could call it "Pancake and Toast".

10) Starter at the Farmers' tournament this weekend in LaJolla is the dad of pro golfer Pat Perez, who has only one pro win, the '09 Bob Hope Classic. Perez played golf at Arizona State, where the coach (since 2011) is Phil Mickelson's brother Tim.

9) For the second time in the last four offseasons, Victor Martinez has screwed up his knee during a workout; why doesn't the guy just lay on his couch until he goes to spring training? One thing a fantasy baseball owner doesn't want to see in February is one his players' name in the paper. Almost always bad news.

This time at least, the injury isn't as bad as three years ago- he should be good to go sometime in April. He missed all of 2012 after two operations on the same knee.

8) UAB 80, Louisiana Tech 60-- Will be quite a story if Blazers get into NCAAs, in same academic year when school dropped its football program, which has caused lot of ill will within the UAB community. No matter what, Jarrod Haase has done a great job of reviving the program Gene Bartow started in 1978.

7) Of the 351 Division I basketball coaches, only two have a PhD degree; LaSalle's John Giannini and Brett Reed of Lehigh.

6) Cavaliers 105, Clippers 94-- Cleveland was up 32 after three quarters, sat their starters for rest of game; they've now won 12 games in a row and no one talks about them anymore. Maybe Doc Rivers shouldn't have given his guys Tuesday night off in Manhattan-- letting pro athletes loose in NYC is an invitation for too much fun.

5) Kansas State suspended two players, including leading scorer Marcus Foster; Bruce Weber has been doing a nice job with these Wildcats, but the margin of error for so many D-I teams is very thin, losing a guy like Foster could be a back-breaker.

4) ESPN named Rece Davis the new host of college football GameDay, a great move seeing as Davis is their best college football voice. Chris Fowler will still be on the Saturday night games; he was better on the pregame show than he is calling games.

3) Saw part of the football schedule next fall for Bishop Gorman HS in Las Vegas; its first six opponents come from five different states, with two from California. This is a high school program; their first game in August is going to be on ESPN.

2) Jim Harbaugh got himself a QB in Houston transfer John O'Korn, who was lot better as a freshman than a sophomore, when he lost his starting job halfway thru this past season. O'Korn will sit this year, play for Michigan in 2016-17.

1) Kam Chancellor played the Super Bowl with a torn MCL; Earl Thomas has a torn labrum, Richard Sherman's elbow might need Tommy John surgery. Football is a tough sport to play and thats a vast understatement.

Mid-Major Money: Big profits from NCAAB small conferences

Team to watch: Yale Bulldogs (15-6 SU, 8-3-1 ATS)

Upcoming: vs. Dartmouth on Friday, vs. Harvard on Saturday

Yale sits atop the Ivy League at 4-0 in conference play (15-6 overall) and it has won five games in a row (3-1 ATS) dating back to Jan. 10. Leading scorer Justin Sears has surpassed his average (14.7 ppg) in four straight outings and is 26 for 41 from the floor in his last three.

This weekend’s opponents, Dartmouth and Harvard, are both dealing with issues. A huge cheating scandal hit Dartmouth in early January and three basketball players were among 64 offending students. Of the three, only Brandon McDonnell (almost seven minutes per game) saw any real playing time, but the Big Green are 3-5 (1-4 ATS) since handing out the indefinite suspensions. Meanwhile, Harvard big man Kenyatta Smith (4.9 ppg, 3.4 ppg, 1.5 bpg) has missed the past four games with a leg injury and is questionable for this weekend.

Yale is 8-3-1 ATS on the season. Dartmouth is 2-8 ATS and Harvard is 5-7 ATS (2-4 ATS on the road).

Team to beware: East Tennessee State Buccaneers (13-8 SU, 4-11-1 ATS)

Upcoming: vs. Wofford on Thursday, vs. Samford on Saturday

East Tennessee State’s 2014-15 campaign got off to an inauspicious start when 6’6’’, 250-pound forward Ron Giplaye went down with a season-ending knee injury in early December. Giplaye had played at least 13 minutes in each of his six games and had turned in a 10-point, nine-rebound performance in a win over UNC-Asheville.

ETSU is 4-11-1 ATS, including 1-5 ATS at home. It is 1-7 ATS in its last eight games, a stretch that already includes ATS losses to upcoming opponents Samford and Wofford. The Bucs edged host Samford 76-74 and fell at Wofford 72-64. Senior guard Rashawn Rembert has scored in single-digits in each of the last three games and has shot a combined 6 for 23 from the floor in those three.

Samford is 12-6-1 ATS this season, having covered the spread in each of its past three contests. Wofford is 4-1 ATS in its last five overall.

Total team: Canisius Golden Griffins (12-9 SU, 4-6 O/U)

Upcoming: at Manhattan on Friday, at Monmouth on Sunday

The Golden Griffins have not scored more than 67 points in any of their last four contests, a span that includes a 46-point performance in a loss at Rider on Jan. 24. They had posted at least 76 points in their previous three.

Canisius won’t be helped by the absence of Phil Valenti (10.6 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 2.6 apg). The sophomore forward sustained an ankle injury last Friday and is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks.

The under is 6-4 in games involving the Golden Griffins this season, including 3-1 when they venture away from home. Three of their last four games have stayed under the total. Canisius’ previous meeting with Manhattan on Jan. 4 was a defensive battle in which both teams scored fewer than 30 points in the second half as the Jaspers survived 63-60.

Game of the Day: Warriors at Hawks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Golden State Warriors at Atlanta Hawks (+1.5, 214.5)

The Atlanta Hawks and the Golden State Warriors both have comfortable leads on the rest of their respective conferences. The two juggernauts will try to decide which team in the best in the NBA when the Warriors visit the Hawks on Friday. Golden State owns the best winning percentage in the league at .830 but is two behind Atlanta in total wins as it embarks on a stretch of 10 of the next 11 games on the road.

The Warriors appeared to be looking ahead to Friday in the first quarter of Wednesday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, falling behind 24-4 early in the first quarter before turning things around on both ends. The Hawks had their own bounce-back performance on Wednesday with an easy victory over the Washington Wizards two nights after their franchise-record 19-game winning streak came to an end. Golden State and Atlanta both rely on rapid ball movement while ranking first and second, respectively, in the NBA in assists.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, CSN Bay Area (Golden State), SportSouth (Atlanta)

LINE HISTORY: The line opened as ATL +1.5 with a total of 214.5.

INJURY REPORT: Warriors - N/A Hawks - G Shelvin Mack (Ques-Calf)

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (39-8, 31-15-1 ATS, 24-23 O/U): Stephen Curry went for a season-high 51 points while burying 10 3-pointers in the 128-114 win over the Mavericks on Wednesday and has gone for 21 or more points in six straight games. The All-Star guard averages 24.9 points on the road this season and Golden State is 14-1 against the East, including 6-0 against the Southeast Division. “Everyone feels good right now. We’re in good shape and ready to roll,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters. “There shouldn’t be any excuses.”

ABOUT THE HAWKS (41-9, 35-15 ATS, 27-23 O/U): Atlanta’s 24-3 home record is bested only by Golden State’s 23-2 mark, and the Hawks picked up their 11th straight home victory in Wednesday’s 105-96 triumph over the Wizards. Atlanta doesn’t have anyone like Curry but is instead exceptional due to its balance, which was highlighted when the NBA named all five starters as co-Players of the Month for January. “It’s something that is reflective of how the group is playing and that our team, hopefully, can be a challenge for our opponent every night on both ends of the court and that we are doing things together collectively,” Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer told reporters. “That is what we are talking about every day whether anybody else recognizes it or not.”

TRENDS:

* Warriors are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games vs. a team with a winning SU record.
* Hawks are 22-4 ATS in their last 26 games following an ATS win.
* Over is 4-0 in Warriors last four games playing on one days rest.
* Over is 5-1 in Hawks last six games overall.

Under goes perfect 4-0 on the hardcourt Thursday

It was a big night in the NBA if you were an under bettor Thursday. All four contests in the association failed to top the closing total, with games averaging a mere 188.5 points per game.

Washington, Sacramento and Phoenix all failed to break the 90 point plateau, with the Kings tallying a feeble 78 points.

The under has had a significant lean in the NBA this season, with 53.62 percent of games (340-393 O/U) cashing out below the total. That number has been even greater over the past month, with 58.48 percent of games going under.

76ers surprisingly strong against the spread

The Philadelphia 76ers have now covered in five straight games. Thanks to improved play by Philly, who have outscored opponents by 3.4 points per game during that span, while facing an average spread of +10.5.

The 76ers who face the Boston Celtics Friday, have also covered in their past four against the Eastern Conference.

Calender year dictated by lack of offense for Heat

Since the start of 2015, the Miami Heat are 3-13 over/under, thanks to their inability to score. The team from South Beach have averaged 88.9 points and have scored fewer than 90 points (five) than they have hit triple-digits (three).

Miami has been hitting the under all season-long, heading into Friday's game with a 18-31 O/U record.

Wizards lose yet another game for backers

Are you still backing the Washington Wizards at the betting window?

Faithful Wizards' bettors have been left disappointed after the team dropped their ninth-straight game at the betting window after a 94-87 loss (as 2-point faves) at the Charlotte Hornets Thursdays.

The Wiz are just 2-7 SU during the nine-game ATS funk. The skid has plummeted them toward the bottom of the ATS standings as they sit 20-30-1, barely ahead of the Los Angeles Clippers (20-30 ATS) and slightly ahead of the last-placed New York Knicks (19-29-1).

The Wizards are back on the court Saturday as they host the Brooklyn Nets.

Lackluster offense keeping Nuggets from covering

The Denver Nuggets have lost their past four games, both straight up and against the spread. During those four games the Nuggets have averaged 88.25 points, including a 69 point performance against Memphis.

Denver has been one of the worst ATS teams this season, going 19-28-3.
