Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

-- Jurickson Profar is second-youngest player ever (Whitey Lockman, '45) to homer in his first major league at-bat.

-- Detroit swept the White Sox, teams are now tied atop AL Central.

-- Huge moment in Atlanta, with Chipper Jones hitting a 3-run walkoff as Braves scored five runs in bottom of 9th to stun the Phillies 8-7.

-- Arizona State hired former NBA head coach Eric Musselman as an aide to Herb Sendek. Hopefully it was Sendek's decision and Musselman isn't a head coach-in-waiting if ASU has a rough year.

-- Texas State (+36.5) won 30-13 at Houston, one of biggest pointspread upsets ever; Bobcats are coached by Dennis Franchione, who used to be coach at both Alabama/Texas A&M. He is better as an underdog.

-- Nine series left in the baseball season, 4.5 weeks, roughly 28-30 games. It gets really, really interesting now.......

c) LVH-- Nice pool, superior sportsbook, good deli in the back.

8) 3 best basketball players of all-time: Kareem Adbul-Jabbar/Michael Jordan/Magic Johnson (Lebron James will probably replace Magic on this list someday soon).

7) 3 favorite scenes in a sports movie:
a) Bob Cousy/Nick Nolte talking in a dimly-lit gym in Blue Chips, while Cousy makes every foul shot he takes. On the first take, too.

CFL

Week 10

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Canadian Bacon: This weekend's CFL preview
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three regional rivalries are set for Sunday and Monday in the CFL. Here’s a few tidbits on the three matchups:

Monday

Toronto Argonauts at Hamilton Tiger-Cats (-3.5, 53.5)

Toronto is coming off a disappointing 27-17 home loss to Edmonton. The Argonauts (4-4) continue to struggle with Ricky Ray under center and are having a tough time putting points up on the board (2-6-0 O/U) this season.

Hamilton dropped a close 31-29 decision to Montreal last week and has lost three straight. The Tiger-Cats (3-5) have the top offense in the CFL, scoring an average of 29.5 points per game (6-2-0 O/U).

TRENDS AND NOTES

*Argonauts are 1-5 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.
*Under is 5-0 in Argonauts last five games overall.
*Tiger-Cats are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a S.U. loss.
*Argos boast the top-ranked pass defense in the league, holding opponents to an average of 233.8 YPG.


Edmonton Eskimos at Calgary Stampeders (-3.5, 48.5)

Edmonton prevailed 26-17 over Toronto last week. The ground game continues to be the focus for the Eskimos (5-3) with new running back Cory Boyd now in the fold. Edmonton has the league’s worst passing attack at 239.5 YPG.

Calgary is also coming off a win last week, downing the Roughriders, 17-10. The Stampeders (4-4) also love to run the ball with their feature back Jon Cornish. The Calgary passing attack is sputtering with Kevin Glenn at the helm, so expect an old-fashioned ground war.

TRENDS AND NOTES

*Under is 4-0 in Calgary’s last four games overall.
*Eskimos are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a S.U. win.
*Under is 3-0-1 in Eskimos’ last five road games.
