— Rams (-1) @ Dallas

— Minnesota (-2.5) @ LA Chargers

— Indianapolis @ New Orleans (-9)

**********

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Mid-week musings…….

13) I get it that all retired baseball players speak glowingly of the late Marvin Miller, who was the head of the players’ union; he made them all very rich. If Miller made me rich, I’d want him to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, too.

But as an Oakland A’s fan, I had no great fondness for Miller, who helped institute a system that made the A’s a 2nd-rate franchise, financially. Stephen Strasburg making $35M a year is a bit much; not really sure Miller deserves to be in the Hall of Fame- did he make the game better? Did star players being multi-millionaires improve the game?

I’d rather see Dr Frank Jobe get in the Hall of Fame; surgeons who perform Tommy John surgery have done a hell of a lot more to help baseball than a guy who helped make all the players millionaires.

12) Speaking of Marvin MIller, Bronx Bombers signed Gerrit Cole to a 9-year, $324M contract late Tuesday night. Cole is 29 years old, so this might be his last contract.

Last three years, Cole started 33-32-33 regular season games; if he does that next season, it works out to $1,090,909.09 per start.

11) 2020 Bronx Bombers:
— Gerrit Cole, $36M
— Giancarlo Stanton, $26M
— Masahiro Tanaka, $23M
— Aroldis Chapman $17.2M

That adds up to $101.5M…….for four guys.

Oakland A’s made the playoffs the last two years; their ENTIRE payroll last year?

$92,178,333

10) Excellent article on actionnetwork.com about how college bowl betting lines are made; it ain’t easy, especially when you have to make them quickly, with matchups coming out early Sunday afternoon- lines were posted roughly four hours later.

9) NHL leaders in going over in first period:
Colorado 23-7, Los Angeles 21-10, Carolina 20-10

NHL leaders in going under in first period:
Calgary 9-23, Dallas 12-19, Jets/Wild/Penguins 13-17

8) Baseball stuff:
— Giants signed P Kevin Gausman to a 1-year deal.
— Phillies signed SS Didi Gregorius
— Angels dumped some salary, trading SS Zack Cozart for cash and a prospect.

7) Random question: Are people allowed to meet at a vegan restaurant?
(Think about it, maybe you’ll chuckle later)

6) Every player at the Outback Bowl will get a gift suite that includes a Fossil watch; $125 Amazon gift card; Jostens ring; Outback Steakhouse gift card; hat.

All the bowls have gift packages like that.

5) Funny how Golden State Warriors seem to have disbanded for a year; Draymond Green still plays most of he time, the uniforms are the same, and Steve Kerr still coaches, but with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson not playing, this is a totally different team, one that will be in the NBA Draft Lottery, maybe even getting the first pick.

Would Golden State draft LaMelo Ball, the youngest of the three Ball brothers? Cole Anthony? James Wiseman, the big kid from Memphis?

4) Major League Baseball will relocate its annual amateur draft to Omaha to try and increase interest; Omaha is where the College World Series is played every year. I’m guessing some of the college coaches in the CWS won’t be thrilled with the potential distractions.

3) Of course the Miami Marlins move their outfield fences in the year after they trade Stanton, Yelich and Ozuna. Makes perfect sense.

2) Texas Tech 70, Louisville 57— Cardinals are already the 4th #1 team in country to lose this season and it is only December 11. There aren’t any great teams this year.

1) ESPN drained every last drop out of the Eli Manning story Monday night; he played really well in the first half but the Giants were shut out in the 2nd half as Manning made what will probably be his last-ever appearance on MNF.

Now America will have to wait a couple years for the next Manning; Eli’s nephew Arch is a 9th-grader at Newman HS in New Orleans, where he already is the starting QB.

Wednesday's Essentials
Tony Mejia

Game of the Night - Clippers (-3/219.5) at Raptors, 7 p.m.

Raptors fans are great and there’s obviously a stereotype that Canadians are among the friendliest people on earth, but I would think they’re going to stop short of cheering whenever Kawhi Leonard touches the ball once the actual game starts.

C’mon, they’ll at least stop after the first quarter.

The 2019 Finals MVP is back in town for the first and only time this season since departing for his hometown after leading Toronto to its first NBA title. Returns are always mired by the certainty that the player coming back into town will have to deal with animosity, but that simply won’t be the case here. There should still be extra juice in the Air Canada Centre, so expect a great atmosphere and hopefully a game that lives up to it.

The pregame tribute video has already started making the rounds on social media and fans have been advised to arrive early, so make no mistake that this is going to be similar to Mike Conley returning to Memphis earlier this season or Leonard’s former teammate Tony Parker cycling back through San Antonio during his one season with the Hornets.

Leonard hasn’t beaten the Spurs at AT&T, where he has been booed whenever possible, averaging 20 points, four boards and six assists in a pair of lopsided losses. He fell once with the Raps and earlier this season in a Nov. 29 setback that snapped a seven-game Clippers’ win streak.

He’s 2-2 as a visitor in Toronto, although none of the times he came into Canada carried any special significance prior to him being acquired in a package highlighted by DeMar DeRozan in July of 2018. For what it’s worth, and I don’t think it’s much, Leonard is shooting 32 percent (11-for-34) as a visiting player at the Air Canada Centre. The Spurs went 2-2 in those games.

Leonard should be fresh after Monday’s helping of load maintenance. He spent the Clippers’ 110-99 victory over the Pacers cheering on Paul George as he dominated despite being booed by Indiana fans in his second trip back through town since being moved to Oklahoma City. L.A. improved to 2-1 on its current six-game road trip that ends with a back-to-back Friday and Saturday in Minnesota and Chicago.

Leonard and George are 7-2 as teammates this season despite limited practice time alongside one another. Both losses have come on the road by double-digits as both played poorly by their standards at the Spurs and Bucks. George had yet to debut when L.A. defeated Toronto at Staples 98-88 on Nov. 11. Despite shooting just 2-for-11, Leonard finished with nine points, 11 rebounds and nine assists as the Clips used a 25-10 fourth-quarter to post a comeback win. The Raptors were without point guard Kyle Lowry and key reserve forward Serge Ibaka, while starting small forward OG Anunoby played just two minutes. Lou Williams led all scorers with 21 points.

The Clippers are looking to get to .500 on the road this season – they’re 13-1 at Staples Center – and are already 3.5 games behind the Lakers. Toronto is running third in an Atlantic Division where 1.5 games are separating it from the Celtics an 76ers, but there have been struggles of late. The Raptors struggled to hold off Chicago on Monday night in an ugly game, winning 93-92 to snap a season-worst three-game losing streak. They have failed to cover in any of their last four games, last doing so on Dec. 1.

This will be the first time the Raptors will play an underdog role at the Air Canada Centre all season. Toronto is 9-2 at home (8-3 ATS) but has dropped consecutive games to the Heat and Rockets by double-digits. L.A. is 4-3 SU (3-4 ATS) as a road favorite.

Raps guard Fred VanVleet, who suffered a knee contusion during the losing streak and was dealing with some inflammation, missed the Bulls win but probably returns tonight unless the Raptors plan on being overly cautious.

Shooting guards Landry Shamet (ankle) and Rodney McGruder (hamstring) are close to returning but have been ruled out for this one. Reserve forward JaMychal Green is considered doubtful with a tailbone injury.

If the numbers sticks, this will mark only the fourth time a total will close sitting below 220 in games involving the Clippers. The 'under' is 4-0 in those games.

Best of the Rest

Celtics at Pacers (-2/210.5), 7:10 p.m. ET: Gordon Hayward returned for the Celtics on Monday and looked sharper than expected after a lengthy layoff after a broken hand by finishing 7-for-10 from the field. He's due for more minutes if Marcus Smart can't return from an eye infection, but the plan is for the standout defender to be out there. Domantas Sabonis comes off a 22-rebound game in the loss to the Clippers and point guard Malcolm Brogdon is back from his hand injury, but center Myles Turner has been shaky on offense despite providing his typical shot-blocking presence. The 'under' has prevailed in four straight games involving Indiana and three straight involving Boston.

Lakers (-7/213) at Magic, 7:10 p.m. ET: With Avery Bradley due back, the Lakers are set to be at full strength so long as fellow point guard Rajon Rondo returns from a hamstring issue. L.A. has won 11 straight true road games but is just 4-4 ATS in the favorite's role in opposing arenas. A win here would tie the franchise's second-longest road win streak, matching the '71-'72 version. The Magic are still without center Nikola Vucevic, who should miss his 10th straight game but is growing closer to a return. They're 8-4 at Amway Center but are just 1-3 as an underdog.

Thunder at Kings (-2), 10:10 p.m. ET: A victory would move the Thunder back to .500 for the first time as they've fought back from a 1-4 start and own a season-best three-game win streak, which include road conquests in Portland and Utah on their current four-game trip. OKC will be looking to hold an opponent under 100 points for the third straight game. Sacramento is hot too, coming off wins at Dallas and Houston in games that came down to the closing seconds. The Kings are searching for their first three-game win streak since last February and finally get back forward Marvin Bagley III, who will return after breaking his thumb in the season opener. It remains to be seen whether he'll start or come off the bench given the success Nemanja Bjelica and Richaun Holmes have had as a tandem.
