    Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

    Odds to win the 2018 World Series

    — Los Angeles Dodgers 11-2

    — Houston Astros 7-1/Cleveland Indians

    — Cleveland/New York (A)/Chicago Cubs 15-2

    — Boston Red Sox/Washington Nationals 10-1

    — St Louis Cardinals/Arizona Diamondbacks 20-1

    — Toronto Blue Jays 22-1


    **********

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

    13) Lions 30, Packers 17— Detroit wins for just 2nd time in last 26 visits to Wisconsin; Green Bay’s season is in the ashcan. Stafford threw for 361 yards, and scored TD’s in red zone.

    12) Eagles are 8-1 heading into their bye week; in the last 20 years, out of 45 teams to start a season 7-1, only the ’12 Bears, ’96 Redskins started 7-1, and then missed the playoffs.

    11) Seattle Seahawks penalties the last three games: 41 penalties for 358 yards. They need to knock those numbers down- 120 yards a game is tough to overcome.

    10) Bulls’ Zach LaVine signed a 4-year, $35M deal with adidas; he is making $3,202,217 from the Bulls this season. Why is a sneaker company paying him 273% what the Bulls pay him?

    9) Only players ever to hit a home run on Opening Day, and then in Game 7 of the World Series that same year: George Springer this year, and Yogi Berra, in 1956. Thats it.

    8) Atlanta Falcons are getting killed by bad field position; in their last four games, they lost field position by 9-7-11-16 yards.

    7) Tampa Bay’s star WR Mike Evans gets suspended for this week’s games with the Jets after his cheap shot at a Saints defender Sunday. The suspension costs Evans $290,967.37.

    Bucs also shut QB Jameis Winston down because of his sore shoulder; Tampa Bay’s season is a mess- they had very high expectations this summer.

    6) Eastern Illinois beat Illinois in one of this exhibition games for charity; surprising result, but the game doesn’t count, so Illinois may not have taken it as seriously as it should have. You know Eastern Illinois took it very seriously.

    5) Clippers/Lakers both played at home Sunday, in the Staples Center; would be curious to know how many people paid to watch both games.

    4) Miami Marlins dumped 44-year OF Ichiro Suzuki last week, possibly ending a career that will undoubtedly end with a Hall of Fame induction. He is still good enough to come off of someone’s bench; we’ll see if this is the end for Ichiro.

    3) SI.com points out that the Cincinnati Bengals have made 106 trades in their 50 years, but none of them were with the Browns or Steelers, their two biggest rivals. The AJ McCarron trade last week that the Browns butchered with their incompetence would’ve been the first one.

    2) They had four refs working a G-League basketball game on ESPNU last night; good Lord, just what we need, more refs. As an old coach once said when they went from two to three refs: “Just one more to yell at.” Now they have two more to yell at.

    1) College basketball starts Friday night, with a ton of games; more suspensions than usual early on this fall, so it is a good time to sit back, study and start to get a handle on this season. There will a lot of information to process late Friday night.

    Auburn already has two kids suspended, Texas A&M two, USC one and Southern Illinois has two kids hurt- Rhode Island had a kid arrested over the weekend- no word yet on his status. The recruiting scandal that is ongoing will probably result in more players being held out of the lineup.

              Tuesday's NBA GOTD betting preview and odds: Clippers at Spurs
              ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

              Los Angeles Clippers at San Antonio Spurs (-3.5, 202.5)

              The Los Angeles Clippers' hot start is a thing of the past after four losses in the last five games - all at home - and things only get tougher as they embark on a stretch with eight of nine on the road. The first of those contests is Tuesday, when the Clippers visit the San Antonio Spurs.

              Los Angeles ripped off four straight wins to begin the campaign but failed to take advantage of a five-game homestand and hits the road after dropping a 104-101 decision to the Miami Heat on Sunday despite overcoming a 25-point deficit. "The road sometimes can be very mean. And sometimes it can be great," Clippers coach Doc Rivers told reporters. "You're kind of forced together. You spend more time together on the road. You just try to build. We're a team right now that every game is not an easy game. And so, we have to be ready to play." The Spurs were in a similar spot with four wins to start the season followed by four losses but have since turned things around again with a pair of wins. San Antonio got strong play from its bench in each of the last two games and continues to operate without Kawhi Leonard (quad) and Tony Parker (quad).

              TV:
              8:30 p.m. ET, FSN Prime Ticket (Los Angeles), FSN Southwest (San Antonio)

              LINE HISTORY:
              The home Spurs opened as five-point favorites but that number has been bet down to -3.5. The total hit betting boards at 200.5 and had been bumped up two full points to 202.5.

              INJURY REPORT:


              Clippers - SF D. Gallinari (Doubtful, Hip), SF J. Wilson (Out Indefinitely, Back), PG M. Teodosic (Out Indefinitely, Foot).

              Spurs - PG D. White (Out Indefinitely, Wrist), C J. Lauvergne (Out, Ankle), PG T. Parker (Out, Quadricep), SF K. Leonard (Out Indefinitely, Quadricep).

              POWER RANKINGS:
              Clippers (-11) - Spurs (-10.9) + home court (-3) = Spurs -2.9

              CHAMPIONSHIP FUTURES:


              Clippers +7,000
              Spurs +1,200

              ABOUT THE CLIPPERS (5-4 SU, 5-4 ATS, 3-6 O/U):
              Los Angeles outscored the Heat 35-15 in the fourth quarter on Sunday and is trying to take that momentum out onto the road. "We've got to carry this over," guard Austin Rivers said, according to the Los Angeles Times. "That feeling that we had as a team that last quarter, we've got to feel that. And understand that if we play like that, we give ourselves a good chance every night." The Clippers were led by 23 points from Blake Griffin, who is averaging 23.7 points.

              ABOUT THE SPURS (6-4 SU, 5-5 ATS, 4-6 O/U):
              San Antonio had four players off the bench score in double figures in a 108-101 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday and turned the same trick during Sunday's 112-95 drubbing of the Phoenix Suns. Shooting guard Bryn Forbes is making the most out of his opportunities off the bench and averaged 17 points on 13-of-23 shooting in those two wins. Veteran small forward Rudy Gay was brought in to lead that second unit and he is averaging 12.6 points in 23.2 minutes, scoring in double figures in eight of the team's 10 games.

              TRENDS:


              * Clippers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games.
              * Spurs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
              * Under is 5-1 in Clippers last 6 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.
              * Over is 5-1 in Spurs last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
              * Underdog is 19-7 ATS in the last 26 meetings.

              CONSENSUS:
              72 percent of the spread wagers are on the home favorite Spurs while 61 percent of the totals selections are on the Over.
