Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Six top prospects for the Chicago White Sox:

1) Eloy Jimenez, OF— Hit .353 in 18 games in the Southern League LY.

2) Michael Kopech, P— Has 344 strikeouts in 269 career IP

5) Dane Dunning, P— florida alum has 2.76 ERA in two years in A ball.

9) Zach Collins, C— Supposedly a good hitter, but hit .229 in first two years in the minors.

9) Gavin Sheets, 1B— Wake Forest alum is son of former big leaguer Larry Sheets

13) Carson Fulmer, P— Vandy alum was 3-1, 3.86 in seven big league games (5 starts) LY.


**********

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

13) There are reports out of Los Angeles that the Dodgers are having $$$ problems and are looking for minority investors (25%??). You’d think the Dodgers are one team that wouldn’t have money problems, but these are weird times– you never know.

Dodgers paid over $48M last year to players who never played for them, otherwise known as dead money.

12) Thinking ahead; since the NCAA’s went to 68 teams, the 11-seeds who advance with Tuesday/Wednesday play-in wins are 8-6 vs spread in their first-round games that they play on short rest. 13 of those 14 teams were underdogs; Tennessee (-4) covered as the lone favorite in the next round, back in 2014.

11) Red Sox were 15-3 in extra inning games last year, most extra inning games played in the major leagues last season.

10) Five major leaguers played every game last season:
Joey Votto, Freddy Galvis, Rougned Odor, Eric Hosmer and Alcides Escobar.

Galvis and Hosmer left their 2017 teams and will be teammates on the Padres this year.

9) Golfer Justin Thomas has won 7 of the last 31 PGA tournaments he entered.

7 of the last 15 PGA tournaments went to a playoff, but hey, Eldrick Woods finished 12th.

8) Quinnipiac lost seven of its last eight games heading into the MAAC tournament, but three of those seven losses were in double overtime. Mike Dunleavy’s son Baker is the coach there; this is his first season. Teams are shooting 40.8% behind the arc vs Quinnipiac this year, 4th-highest %age against any team in the country.

7) JD Martinez will make $22M a year for the Red Sox; he has played more than 123 games in a season ONCE in his career!!!!

If JD Martinez spends 120+ days on the DL with Boston, Red Sox will get some salary relief later in his contract. Martinez knocked in 104 runs in 119 games for Detroit/Arizona LY, which is a lot of production, but he does get hurt a lot.

6) Conference tournament knowledge: #1 seed has won the last seven Big Sky tournaments. Last four Atlantic 14 tournaments were won by teams seeded #3 or worse.

5) NC State won its last four basketball games; in those games, backup G Sam Hunt made 14-17 behind the arc. Hunt has had an interesting career; he played a year at Jacksonville, then two years at North Carolina A&T- in those three seasons, he made 34.3% of his 3-pointers. This year, playing as a senior in the ACC, Hunt is making 41.8% (46-110) behind the arc.

4) Los Angeles Rams got CB Marcus Peters from the Chiefs, sending 2nd/4th round picks to KC. Rams also get a 6th-round pick in the deal.

3) It is weird to me that the Big 14 tournament is this week instead of next week; having it in New York City doesn’t matter much to me, since TV is TV, but having it at the same time as Arch Madness and the MAAC tourney and the WCC is just so different.

2) Doing some conference tournament research: over the last six years, in the semis/finals of the OVC tournament, the underdogs are 12-5 vs spread- one game had no line. Favorites are 15-8-1 vs spread in the first two rounds.

1— Colleges who have already fired their basketball coach:
Charlotte
Colorado State
East Carolina
Eastern Kentucky
Ole Miss
Cal-Riverside
UTEP

NCAAB Game of the Day: Miami at North Carolina betting preview and odds
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miami-Florida Hurricanes at No. 10 North Carolina Tar Heels (-10, 152)

With the regular season winding down, North Carolina is heating up with six straight wins and is in position to clinch a double-bye for the ACC Tournament with a victory over visiting Miami on Tuesday night. The Hurricanes reached 20 wins for the sixth time in coach Jim Larranaga's seven seasons with a last-second 79-78 triumph over Boston College on Saturday and desperately need to keep winning to have a chance at an NCAA Tournament berth.

This game is special for two of the Tar Heels' all-time greats in Joel Berry and Theo Pinson as this will be their final game in front of the UNC faithful at Dean E. Smith Center. The seniors have been instrumental in North Carolina's success and are a huge reason why the Tar Heels have a good chance at making their third straight NCAA championship game appearance and second straight title. "It's Senior Day at North Carolina," Larranaga told reporters. "We're expecting a vocal crowd, very enthusiastic." It's a tough spot for a Hurricanes team that has won two in a row after a three-game skid but needed late rallies to pull them off, including a clutch last-second Lonnie Walker IV 3-pointer to top off a 14-point comeback - Miami's largest - against BC.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN

LINE HISTORY: North Carolina opened as 11.5-point home favorites but that number has been bet down to the current number of -10. The total hit betting boards at 152.5 and has been dropped slightly to 152.

ABOUT MIAMI (20-8 SU, 10-13 ATS, 12-11 O/U): Larranaga stuck with the bigger starting lineup against Boston College and the move paid off for the second straight game as the Hurricanes held a 39-27 rebounding advantage against the Eagles, with 15 coming on the offensive glass, their third-most offensive rebounds this season. Dewan Huell (team highs of 16 points, nine rebounds) and Anthony Lawrence (13 points, nine rebounds) each fell one rebound shy of a double-double while freshmen Walker (14) and Chris Lykes (15) also scored in double digits as the Hurricanes extended their record to 10-3 when four or more players hit double figures. Miami had problems containing the Eagles as they hit 56.6 percent of their shots from the floor, but the Hurricanes made their free throws count, nailing 13-of-15, including nine in a row down the stretch.

ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA (22-7 SU, 16-11-1 ATS, 17-11 O/U): Berry (18 points) scored the game-winning points on a steal and a layup in Wednesday's 78-74 victory over Syracuse, the third time he hit the winning points in an ACC game this year, but Luke Maye had a quiet outing with nine points and three rebounds, far below his averages of 18.0 and 10.2. Pinson had his usual success delivering the ball with a game-high seven assists but he also put together one of his best shooting performances with a career-high 23 points, including a pair of 3-pointers, the first time this year he hit multiple times from long distance in a game. The Tar Heels, who face rival Duke in the season finale, remain the ACC's top rebounding team (43.1 per game) and Kenny Williams led North Carolina for the first time with a career high-tying eight boards against Syracuse.

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Hurricanes are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win.
* Tar Heels are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
* Over is 5-1 in Hurricanes' last 6 road games.
* Over is 12-3 in Tar Heels' last 15 home games.
* Under is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings @ North Carolina.

TIP-IN BETTING TIDBITS:

- North Carolina owns a 21-7 series advantage over Miami, but the Hurricanes have won five of the last eight meetings.

- Miami and North Carolina join Duke and Virginia as the only ACC schools to own six or more 20-win seasons in the last seven years.

- The Tar Heels are 15-1 this season when Pinson has five or more assists.

CONSENSUS: Numbers show 58 percent of contest players like the road underdog Miami Hurricanes to cover the spread.
