Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Happy 5th of July!!!!

13) Gordon Hayward signed with the Celtics, then wrote an article thanking Utah.

I get tired of players bolting teams, then writing an article thanking the previous city for everything. If you loved it so much, why don’t you stay? He gets four years, $128M from the Celtics, but he would’ve gotten that in Utah, too- he might’ve gotten more than that.

Maybe its because I’m an A’s fan and I’ve spent the last 42 years seeing our best players either leave via free agency or get traded (at a loss) before that happens. Losing isn’t fun.

But at least guys who bolt the A’s are leaving for huge raises. This isn’t about money. Jazz traded for Ricky Rubio to try and entice Hayward to stay in Utah. Now what? Their franchise is screwed.

12) Celtics’ title odds jump from 15-1 to 12-1 with Hayward aboard; Utah’s drop from 150-1 to 250-1. If you want to bet on the Jazz to win the NBA title, just go give the money to a homeless guy— at least that money will help someone.

11) Celtics beat the 76ers 89-88 in the first game of the Utah Summer League Monday night; Jayson Tatum finished with 21 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals in 34 minutes, while Markelle Fultz put up 17 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocks for the Sixers.

Who wins these games don’t matter much; both players played well, which matters a lot.

10) Boston Globe newspaper publishes the entire Declaration of Independence every 4th of July.

9) Joey Chestnut won the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest by downing 72 hot dogs in 10:00 in Brooklyn Tuesday. I am told the average American eats 70 hot dogs a year.

8) Daniel Murphy has 34 RBI in 31 games against the Mets, who let him walk two years ago.

7) First-place Milwaukee Brewers are only 33-1 to win the World Series. Not a lot of faith there.

6) Midwestern trivia: Barbed wire was invented in DeKalb, Illinois.

5) Tigers’ star Miguel Cabrera left Tuesday’s game with left hip tightness, bad news for Detroit and Cabrera’s fantasy owners (I am not one).

4) Freddie Freeman was activated Tuesday and is now the Braves’ third baseman, so they can keep Matt Adams in the lineup at first base. He lined a single to center in his first at-bat back.

3) Why are phone solicitors calling me on July 4th, trying to sell me solar energy panels? It is a damn national holiday; go have some potato salad and leave me the bleep alone.

2) I understand the Marlins aren’t very good this year, but their entire pre-game show Tuesday was about the All-Star Game or Home Run Derby, which are a week from now. Enough.

The constant badgering to vote for Justin Bour in the Final 5 voting intrudes on the game.

1) Gonzaga basketball coach Mark Few still hasn’t watched his team’s national title game with North Carolina from three months ago; John Calipari hasn’t watched the Memphis-Kansas national title game his Tigers lost at the very end. Apparently, successful people prefer to look ahead.

WNBA Betting Recap - 6/26-7/2

League Betting Notes (Monday, June 26 through Sunday, July 2)

-- Favorites went 9-3 straight up (SU)
-- Favorites went 9-3 against the spread (ATS)
-- Home/road teams posted a 6-6 SU record
-- Home/road teams posted a 6-6 ATS record
-- The 'over/under' went 6-6

Team Betting Notes

-- Atlanta (6-7) ended a three-game skid Sunday against New York (7-7), winning 81-72 at home despite entering as a 4 1/2-point underdog. It was a rare cover for the Dream, as they're still just 2-7 ATS over their past nine outings. The 'under' has now connected in three of the past four four Atlanta and 8-3 over the past 11 outings.

-- The Liberty have dropped a season-high three in a row following their road loss in the ATL. After an impressive 4-0 SU/ATS streak from June 2-11, the Liberty are 1-4 SU/ATS over the past five outings.

-- Chicago (3-12) has dropped three in a row, and they really have bottomed out. They provided San Antonio (1-14) with their first victory of the season. For the Sky, they're 0-3 SU/ATS while losing by an average of 16.0 points per game during the span.

-- The Stars have been inching closer to a win lately, before finally breaking through against Chicago. While the first win came Friday, they're an impressive 3-1 ATS over the past four outings.

-- Connecticut (8-7) had a very successful week, topping the Seattle (7-8) and Indiana (7-8) after a loss to Los Angeles (12-3). The Sun are now an impressive 9-2 ATS over their past 11, and 11-3 ATS over their past 14. The 'over' is also a frequent result for Connecticut lately, going 8-1 over their past nine outings.

-- Dallas (8-9) was tripped up at home Saturday by the visiting Storm, snapping a four-game winning streak. The 'under' connected, however, and is now 4-1 over the past four for the Wings.

-- The Fever have been solid, yet unspectacular so far this season. They haven't won or lost more than two games in a row at any point so far. The same goes for their work against the spread. Next up for Indiana is a date with Atlanta, a team they polished off 85-74 back on June 15.

-- The Sparks continue to roll right along. They took care of Washington (10-6) by a 76-69 score, narrowly covering a 6 1/2-point number on Sunday. L.A. has posted a season-high nine game winning streak and they're a perfect 4-0 ATS over the past four outings. Total bettors are also a fan of the Sparks, as the 'under' is now an impressive 5-1 over their past six outings.

-- Minnesota (12-1) picked up a 91-83 win in Phoenix (7-6) in another high-scoring affair. The 'over' has cashed in four in a row for the Lynx, and six of the past seven overall.

-- The Mercury have alternated wins and losses over the past eight outings. They're not having much luck against the number, however, going 1-4 ATS over the past five outings.
