Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

How Nevada casinos made their money in July:

$10.5M— sports betting

$32.2M— roulette

$39.3M— craps

$77.1M— baccarat

$87.2M— blackjack

$307.1M— penny slots


**********

Armadillo:Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud……..

13) Monday, a courageous soul in Las Vegas wagered $33,000 on the Colts (+7) in Week 1 against the Chargers. That gambler has lot of faith in Jacoby Brissett.

12) New England Patriots made two trades for offensive linemen Wednesday, addressing their need for depth on their front line.

11) Cubs 10, Mets 7— Chicago pounded Noah Syndergaard for eight runs in first two innings.

10) This is a little weird: Eagles backup QB Josh McCown will be on the sidelines at Myers Park HS in Charlotte every Friday night this fall as an assistant football coach, in addition to playing for the Eagles on Sundays, and practicing with the team during the week. McCown plans to fly to rejoin the Eagles on Friday night/Saturday morning each week.

9) Life for a marginal big league pitcher: Astros’ pitcher Cy Sneed has been called up from AAA/sent back to AAA five times in the last 48 days. Lot of frequent flyer miles.

8) Back in 2000, David Glass bought the Kansas City Royals for $96M; he is expected to sell the ballclub soon, with the price expected to be a little over $1B. Thats billion, with a B.

7) Baseball stuff:
— Dodgers’ 3B Justin Turner was suspended for a game for making contact with an ump.
— Giants DFA’d 2B Scooter Gennett.

6) Obscure stat of the day, from Christopher Kamka: Lou Piniella hit 102 career home runs, most ever by a player who never hit two home runs in a game.

5) Perk to being an NBA player: Myles Turner and Brook Lopez acted as roadies for Fleetwood Mac Tuesday night in Sydney, Australia— that must have been fun.

4) More and more, you hear NFL-types talking about how teams holding joint practices is more productive than exhibition games. The practices are over a 3-4 day period and starters can get 80+ good reps in different situations, and against other starters.

In coming years, we’ll likely see only two preseason games a year, and more joint practices.

3) Jeremy Lin signed a deal to play basketball in China this winter.

2) Indianapolis Colts now have $56.6M in salary cap space, $19.6M more than any other team in the league (Houston is 2nd).

1) Raise your hand if you’ve heard this before; USC QB Jack Sears will enter the transfer portal and will play elsewhere in 2020-21, as a graduate transfer, because he lost the starting job to sophomore QB JT Daniels. Apparently Sears is going to graduate from USC in only three years. Because of that, he can still be on the Trojans’ roster this year, and play elsewhere in 2020.

DALLAS WINGS AT CHICAGO SKY (-11.5, 160.5)

If you’re a believer in betting trends, there’s been no more clear-cut pattern than backing the Dallas Wings at home and fading them on the road.

Dallas is 9-6 ATS as a host, with an average margin of +1.8 points in those games, but only 5-9 ATS as a visitor, losing those away games by an average of -11.8 points. Tonight, the Wings find themselves in the Windy City taking on a Chicago Sky team that is 10-5 ATS at home.

The Sky post 83 points per home game on the season and have been especially hot in August, scoring 90.5 points inside Wintrust Arena this month. Chicago is pushing for at least a first-round playoff bye and currently sits fifth overall – just outside of that fourth and final qualifying spot.

While books are piling on the points, the Sky have the fire power to topple the chalk Thursday night.

PREDICTION: Chicago -11.5


PHOENIX MERCURY AT ATLANTA DREAM (+4.5, 153.5)

It’s been a busy week for the Phoenix Mercury, who travel to Atlanta for their third game in five days Thursday night.

Phoenix, which sits in the eighth and final postseason spot, lost at Chicago Sunday then flew to New York for a win over the Liberty Tuesday. A victory over the Dream tonight would lock the Mercury into the playoffs.

That postseason push has sparked the Mercury’s offense, which has posted scores of 86 and 95 in those two most recent outings. Phoenix is firing at a near 51 percent clip over those contests, and takes on an Atlanta defense that has allowed opponents to run up the score this month.

The Dream are giving up 84.6 points per game in August – a significant jump from the 77.7 points allowed through the first three months of action. That has turned out some profitable results for Over backers, with Atlanta going 7-1 Over/Under in its eight games in August.

With Phoenix finding its form and the Dream dropping big numbers to foes, we see another Over winner Thursday night.

PREDICTION: Over 153.5

Tuesday's picks: 1-1
Season to date: 67-43-1
