Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

According to Baseball America, six of the top minor league prospects of the San Diego Padres........

1) Casey Kelly, P-- Was 2-3, 6.21 in six major league starts LY.

3) Jedd Gyorko, 2B/3B-- .319 hitter in 1,343 minor league ABs.

8) Joe Wieland, P-- Was 0-4, 4.55 in five big league starts LY.

15) Brad Boxberger, P-- Had 2.60 ERA in 28 IP in relief for Padres LY.

18) James Darnell, 3B-- Going from Texas League to Petco has to be shock for any hitter, not to mention facing big league pitchers.

26) Juan Oramas, P-- Had Tommy John surgery LY after pitching in the Mexican Pacific League for three years, basically pitching year-round.


*****

Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend.....

13) Felix Hernandez' $135M contract extension is on hold because of concerns about King Felix' elbow, his right elbow, obviously.

Hernandez has been a workhorse in his career, with 1620.1 IP already; in fact, Elias Sports Bureau reports that since 1969, only three pitchers have thrown more innings before their 27th birthday, Bert Blyleven, Fernando Valenzuela and Dwight Gooden.

You throw an extra $135M at someone, you want to have a pretty good idea they're going to be around to earn it.

12) Celtics are 7-0 since Rajon Rondo got hurt, beating Denver in triple OT in a wild game, where Denver's bench shot just 17-49 (34.7%) from the floor. Interesting to see how the veteran-laden Celtics play in their next game.

11) Boston College took a financial hit, hosting Duke at same time Celtics were playing, and while train service in Boston was still shut down-- crowd wasn't very big. BC let one slip away, losing 62-61 to Duke squad that flew up to Boston Sunday morning, because of the blizzard.

10) There was another multi-OT game Sunday, as Illinois-Chicago won at Youngstown State in triple OT. Somehow, I doubt a replay of this game will make it to ESPN Classic; thats reserved for the BCS conferences.

9) Couple of big upsets Sunday, as Cal Bears won at Arizona, and Illinois backed up its upset of Indiana with a win at Minnesota. Selection committee is going to have its hands full next month, bracketing teams for the NCAAs.

8) Jacksonville State coach James Green was suspended for a game by the OVC after getting two technicals and being tossed from his team's game at Tennessee Tech this weekend. Green is doing a good job at Jacksonville; his team is 15-8 and much-improved- he used to be coach at Southern Miss.

7) Denver Nuggets are 33-19, one of the NBA's better teams, but they do not have an All-Star this season. They'll be well-rested coming out of the All-Star break next week.

6) San Antonio Spurs have nine foreign-born players on their roster, the most in NBA history.

5) Cleveland Indians signed Jason Giambi/Diasuke Matsuzaka this weekend; not really sure why. Guess Giambi will take Travis Hafner's place as the old, oft-injured DH. Tribe is hurting for pitching if they signed Dice-K.

4) Arizona Wildcats' football team went 8-5 this year, which earned coach Rich Rodriguez a $225,000 raise and a one-year contract extension. What will they give him if they ever make it to the Rose Bowl?

3) Houston Astros' owner Jim Crane tied for 3rd at the Pebble Beach pro-am golf tournament, teamed with pro Kevin Streelman. Crane played college baseball, so he's no stranger to competition.

2) Its good to be golfer Brandt Snedeker, who won $15M playing golf LY, and finished 2-2-1 in his last three tournaments this year; he jogged this week at Pebble Beach, and has jumped to #4 in World Rankings. .

1) Our condolences to St John's coach Steve Lavin on the passing of his dad, who died this weekend. During his seven years on ESPN, Lavin often referenced his father, who played at USF- they were obviously very close.

Georgetown has worked its way back up in the Big East with wins in five straight and seven of the last eight, but it is still lagging one game behind first-place Marquette. Marquette edged Georgetown 49-48 back on Jan. 5 and has won four of five after taking down DePaul on Saturday. The Golden Eagles are about to begin the roughest part of their Big East slate, with Pittsburgh coming up after Georgetown and then two on the road before games against Syracuse and Notre Dame in Milwaukee. Marquette has ascended to the top of the conference by beating the teams it is supposed to beat from the bottom of the league. The Golden Eagles have taken out DePaul, South Florida (twice), Providence and Seton Hall by an average of 12.8 points. In the first meeting with the Hoyas, Marquette built up a 34-25 advantage on the glass and went 13-for-18 at the free throw line to pull out the slim victory. Georgetown is 4-0 ATS in its last four home games.

(15) Kansas State at (5) Kansas (-8)

Kansas has experienced a dreadful stretch and Kansas State has taken advantage to move into first place in the Big 12. Kansas State has won four consecutive games while Kansas has lost three in a row to allow the Wildcats to possess a one-game lead over the Jayhawks and Oklahoma State. Kansas is allowing 73 points per game during its skid after giving up an average of 52.3 over its previous six outings. The Wildcats allow a conference-low 58.3 points per game, but the Jayhawks defeated Kansas State 59-55 on Jan. 22 in Manhattan. The Wildcats are 0-6 ATS in the last six meetings in Kansas.

Bank shots: NBA betting news and notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each week, we look back on the NBA betting scene and give you the best –and worst – basketball bets, as well as some spots to keep an eye on with the upcoming schedule.

All stats prior to action Feb.10

Hottest ATS

Boston Celtics (4-0 SU, 4-0 ATS)

The Celtics have covered in seven straight games since G Rajon Rondo was lost to a season-ending ACL injury. Avery Bradley and veteran Jason Terry have filled in admirably in Rondo’s absence but Boston’s schedule gets tougher in coming weeks. The Celtics in Charlotte Monday for the second half of a back-to-back, and then welcome the Bulls Wednesday before heading west for a five-game tour after the All-Star festivities.


Coldest ATS

Milwaukee Bucks (0-3 SU, 0-3 ATS)

The Bucks have failed to cover in six consecutive games, posting a 1-5 SU record in the process. Milwaukee enjoys four of its next five games at home where it has a 10-14 ATS record. Up next are the Wizards, who boast the best ATS mark in the league (30-17-2) and have covered in four straight contests.


Best over

Memphis Grizzlies (2-2 SU, 4-0 over/under)

The Grizzlies have been an awesome under play (20-29-1 O/U) all season long, but that hasn’t been the case over their last four games. Memphis is known for its usually stout defense (90 ppg) but a temporary lapse over its past four contests (95 ppg) has led to four straight over plays. The team dynamic has changed since the departure of Rudy Gay, but the Grizzlies face five consecutive sub-.500 opponents beginning Sunday when Minnesota comes to town.


Best under

Philadelphia 76ers (2-1 SU, 0-3 over/under)

The Sixers have finally tightened the screws on defense and gone low in five straight games. Philadelphia has played a ton of home games recently and has been holding opponents to 81 points over its last seven – 14 points less than its season average (95 ppg). The Sixers have one last home affair with the Clippers Monday before hitting the road prior to the All-Star break.

Scouting the schedule:

-The San Antonio Spurs should benefit from the upcoming All-Star break more than any other team. Not only will it give the Spurs’ old legs a rest, but it breaks up their current season-long nine-game road trip. San Antonio is off to a 1-1 SU and ATS start on the trip and keep in mind the Spurs are a decent over play away from home with a 15-11-1 O/U mark.

Pucking the trends: This week's best NHL bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every week, we update you on who's hot, who's not and situational betting spots in the National Hockey League.

For the week of Feb.3-Feb. 9. All stats are prior to Sunday's action.

Hot team

Vancouver Canucks (3-0 SU, Season: 7-2-0-2, 5-6 ATS)

The Canucks downed the Flames 5-1 Saturday night to extend their winning streak to five games. Cory Schneider has responded after a slow start with a 1.00 GAA over his last two starts and Roberto Luongo has silenced critics with his strong play of late. Vancouver has a full-fledged goalie controversy on its hands, but both tenders seem to be pushing each other to be better, at least for the time being. Additionally, the Canucks could get a boost on offense in coming weeks. Stud center Ryan Kesler (shoulder/wrist) is back practicing with the team and is nearing a return.


Cold team

New York Islanders (0-4 SU, Season: 4-6-1-1, 6-5 ATS)

The Islanders skated to a respectable 4-3 SU start to open the shortened campaign, but they’ve taken a turn for the worst in the past week. New York has dropped four straight, managing only five goals during the losing skid. The Isles host the Hurricanes on Monday before two tough clashes with divisional foes New York and New Jersey.


Best over play

Pittsburgh Penguins (3-1 O/U, Season: 7-5 O/U)

The Penguins are always a tempting over play when Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are both healthy. Pittsburgh played over the number in three of its four games this past week, averaging a hearty four goals per contest in the process. The Penguins play the second half of a home-and-home with the Devils Sunday before welcoming the struggling Senators to The Igloo.


Best under play

Edmonton Oilers (0-2-1 O/U, Season: 2-8-1 O/U)

The Oilers haven’t played over the total in seven straight games. Edmonton is 0-6-1 O/U since playing over Jan. 26 in Calgary and averages just 2.2 goals per game. Surprisingly, the young Oilers have done a great job at keeping pucks out of their own net, allowing opponents to score 2.5 goals per game (10th in the league). Edmonton is in Columbus Sunday before returning to Rexall Place for a five-game homestand.


Surveying the schedule:

-The Philadelphia Flyers hit the road for six games starting Monday in Toronto. The Flyers are just 1-5 SU away from home and have been a horrible puckline bet (3-9 ATS).

-The Chicago Blackhawks have skated to a league-best 9-0-0-2 start and are entering a favorable stretch in their schedule. Chicago visits Nashville Sunday and then enjoys a seven-game homestand at the United Center. The Blackhawks have only played two home games this season – both one-goal victories.
