Odds to win the World Series:

7-2: Boston Red Sox

5-1: Houston Astros

6-1: Chicago Cubs

8-1: Bronx Bombers

10-1: Cleveland Indians

12-1: Oakland A’s

**********

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

13) The offensive/defensive coordinators in Cleveland either aren’t getting along very well, or they staged this exchange for HBO’s Hard Knocks:

Todd Haley, upset with the defense getting too close to QB Baker Mayfield: “Good teams don’t touch the fucking quarterback!”

Gregg Williams: “Block ‘em then!”

12) More on the Browns, this from USA Today:

“Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson said rookie receiver Antonio Callaway played so many snaps Thursday as a punishment for his recent marijuana citation.

Rather than discipline a player by benching him, as coaches often do, Jackson told reporters Sunday that he decided to go in the opposite direction, playing Callaway even when he asked for a breather.

‘I was trying to make him play the whole game if we could. I did not want him to come out.'”

11) This tweet from former NFL RB Danny Woodhead:

“If I’m an undrafted rookie for the browns I’m gonna make sure i get in trouble before the next game! Playing all game just gives you an opportunity to make the team! This isn’t a punishment this is a gift!”

Alrighty then.

10) From Baseball Reference: David Bote’s walk-off grand slam for the Cubs Sunday night was the first “down 3-0” walk-off grand slam since Samuel Byrd (Reds) off Cy Blanton (Pirates) on May 23, 1936.

9) Cardinals are 16-9 under interim manager Mike Shildt; they’re back in the Wild Card race and there’s an increasing chance that Shildt will become the full-time manager for 2019.

8) Brooks Koepka is the first golfer to win the U.S. Open and PGA Championship in the same year since 2000; his ranking is up to #2 in the world.

7) Chris Sale has an 0.69 ERA in his last 10 starts, striking out 109 in 65 innings; since June 8, hitters are batting .147 against him.

6) Not only are the Oakland A’s 36-12 in their last 48 games, their AAA team in Nashville has won its last 13 games, and is now 64-55 in the PCL. Sounds turned a triple play in their win on Sunday.

5) Chicago Bears still haven’t signed Roquan Smith, their first round draft pick. Not good.

4) You can actually wager on who the starting QB’s will be at colleges whose teams have a QB controversy this summer, teams like Alabama, Florida State.

Wonder if anyone has a prop bet over where Jalen Hurts will transfer to if he isn’t the starter at Alabama after the Crimson Tide went 26-2 in his starts the last two years?

3) Why won’t the Mets bring 1B Peter Alonso? When your team sucks, its a good thing to give your fans some hope for the future by letting them watch young players play and hopefully develop into stars. Alonso hit .314 in AA, is hitting .260 in AAA, has 105 RBI between AA and AAA this year. I’m guessing Met fans have seen enough of Jose Bautista and Jose Reyes.

2) Giants’ rookie RB Saquon Barkley strained his hamstring in Monday’s practice. Not sure what exactly a “mild strain” means, but I know it ain’t good.

1) Jeez….Indians’ OF Leonys Martin has been battling a life-threatening bacterial infection that attacked his internal organs. He is currently in stable condition, and is improving.

We pray that he feels better real soon.

WNBA Betting Recap - 8/7-8/12
Joe Williams

League Betting Notes (Tuesday, Aug. 7 through Sunday, Aug. 12)

-- Favorites went 13-5 straight up (SU)
-- Favorites went 11-7 against the spread (ATS)
-- Home teams went 10-8 SU
-- Home teams went 10-8 ATS
-- The 'over' went 10-6-2

Team Betting Notes

-- Atlanta (22-10) has opened up a two-game lead in the Eastern Conference with just two regular season games remaining, but those two games are difficult road contests to finish the season. The Dream are on fire heading into the final week of the regular season, going 6-0 ATS over the past six outings, and 14-1 ATS across the past 15 contests.

-- Chicago (11-20) has put up a little bit better of a fight down the stretch, but they still have lost more than they're winning. They're a respectable 4-2 ATS over the past six outings, and the 'under' is 4-1 in the past five, so the Sky can still be helpful at the betting window.

-- Connecticut (18-13) split a home-and-home with the Sky this past week, and the 'under' on Sunday pumped the brakes on a 4-0 'over' run. The Sun have caught fire at the right time, winning six of their past seven games overall while going 5-2 ATS across the past seven.

-- The freefall continues for Dallas (14-17), as the Wings have dropped eight in a row at the most inopportune time. For a while back in mid-July the Wings appeared to not only be a playoff team, but one who could do some damage once they got there. Now, there are just three games remaining against playoff hopefuls, and the best they can do is a .500 record. The 'under' has hit in five of their past seven outings.

-- Indiana (5-26) had shown some signs of life earlier in the month, but they took it on the chin in three straight this past week while going 0-3 ATS. The defensive woes were back, as the opposition dumped in 93.3 points per game (PPG) in the three-game slide with the 'over' going 1-0-2.

-- Las Vegas (13-17) ended a four-game slide, and five if you could their forfeit from the travel woes to D.C., pounding the Fever into submission on Aug. 11. The cover also snapped an 0-4 ATS skid. Two of their final three regular season battles will be against Eastern Conference foes.

-- Los Angeles (18-13) looked like they had it trending in the right direction, but they dropped back-to-back games in Atlanta and Phoenix (18-14) to create more questions than answers heading into the final regular season week. The Sparks enter Tuesday's game against New York (7-23) on an 0-4 ATS run.

-- Minnesota (17-14) just can't seem to piece together a lengthy win streak anymore. And they're 2-5 ATS over the past seven outings. Total bettors are loving them at the window right now, however, as the 'under' has hit in six straight, and 12 of the past 13.

-- The Liberty are just playing out the string, dropping nine in a row heading into the final week. Continue to fade the Liberty if you want to make some bread, as they're just 2-7 ATS across the past nine outings. The 'over' is also an impressive 8-2 over their past 10.

-- Phoenix (18-14) has won back-to-back games for the first time since a four-game winning streak June 26-July 5. That's uncharacteristic for the Merc. They are a solid 4-1 ATS over the past five outings, so perhaps they're kicking it into high gear at just the right time. A showdown against the Dream on Friday will be a good measuring stick test.

-- Seattle (24-8) recovered nicely from a 100-77 beating in D.C. to top the Lynx 81-72 in the Twin Cities over the weekend. The Storm maintain the best record in the WNBA, and they can clinch home-court advantage in the playoffs with a win against either New York or Dallas in one of the final two regular-season battles. The Storm are an impressive 6-1 ATS over the past seven outings, and 13-3-1 ATS over the past 17.

-- Washington (19-11) is closing the season well, but they can't seem to make up any distance on the equally red-hot Dream. The Mystics have won five in a row, and six if you include their forfeit victory against the Aces. Washington has also covered three in a row, which ties their longest cover streak since they went 4-0 ATS from May 24-30.
