Armadillo:Tuesday's six-pack

According to Baseball America, six of the Twins' top prospects........

1) Miguel Sano, 3B-- Hit 28 homers in Midwest League LY.

2) Byron Buxton, OF-- High School Player of Year last year.

6) Aaron Hicks, OF-- Was once a highly regarded pitching prospect.

9) Trevor May, P-- Part of package in Ben Revere trade with Philly.

10) Max Kepler, OF-- Son of ballet dancers, raised in Germany.

29) Kennys Vargas, 1B-- .309 hitter needs to control his weight better.

*****

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

13) Refs for Sunday’s NC State-Georgia Tech game: Brian O’Connell (working 5th day in row), John Cahill (6th game/7 days) and Doug Sirmons (4th game/5 days).

This is not to criticize them, because they’re all good refs and with 347 D-I teams, refs get spread very thin, but no way do NBA refs work this much, and this late in the year, it has to be tough for a guy in his 50’s to do that much running. (O'Connell worked again in Louisville Monday night).

At $1,500 or so for a TV game, it makes it easier, but still…….

12) Sirmons has worked 70 games this year (this data is on statsheet.com, by the way), so if he made an average of $1,000 a game, that’s $70,000 since Veterans' Day, or basically four months’ work. He probably averages more than $1,000 a game. Its not easy, lot of travel and constant limelight, but its very good money, especially for a second job.

11) Three non-athletes who should be in Baseball Hall of Fame: Bill James, who headed the revolution on how baseball views analytics, and two doctors, Frank Jobe and James Andrews, who have kept pitchers' arms in the game for a long time now. Those three people have added a lot to the actual game and how it is played.

10) 20 years ago when I used to go out to watch NFL games on the satellite, remember saying it was worth it, just to watch Barry Sanders run with the ball, and I’m not a Lions’ fan. I feel the same way when reading an article written by Bob Ryan in Boston; he is very sensible and he presents a strong opinion based on sound logic. Just a great writer.

9) This is how a lot of coaches feel about dealing with the media: John Calipari skipped this week’s SEC teleconference because he had to go to the dentist. At least at the dentist they give you novocaine, and hopefully don’t ask you about Arkansas.

8) Gonzaga is #1 in AP poll for the first time; some writer posted on Twitter that New Mexico, and not the Zags should be a #1 seed in the NCAAs. Given the chance, if New Mexico played Gonzaga on a neutral court and the game was pick ‘em, that writer would bet on the Lobos? If that’s true, I’d like the guy’s phone number, so I could make a few bucks.

7) Monday was 20th anniversary of the Jimmy V “Don’t Give Up” speech, one of the most memorable speeches ever televised. It does not like seem like 20 years, but ESPN and especially Dick Vitale have done great work since then raising money to fight cancer. Hopefully someday soon, a brilliant researcher will find a cure for cancer. We can only hope.

6) In a not-so-shocking development, the NRA is sponsoring a NASCAR race at the Texas Motor Speedway April 13. We had a NRA rally out in front of the building I work in last Thursday; 7,000 people in a misty, cold rain, a lot of them wearing camo, many holding signs promoting the second amendment. Looked like a lot of NASCAR fans to me.

5) In August, FOX is changing Speed Channel into Fox Sports 1, which it hopes will be a challenger to ESPN as a national sports network. They are expecting to sign the new Big East to anchor their basketball coverage.

4) Chicago Blackhawks are 19-0-3, an amazing start; they've trailed four games in third period, tying one game with 0:03 left. They're 7-3 in OT/SO, 12-0 in regulation time.

3) Florida is only SEC team in AP top 25; Missouri is only other SEC team getting votes. SEC tournament in Nashville is going to be excellent.

2) Good news, bad news: My tab at Dunkin’ Donuts was 55 cents lower than usual Monday morning; when I asked why, the woman looked at me and said, “The senior citizen discount, sir”.

Um, I’m not 55 yet, and won’t be for a while. Whatever…..lol If you work 225 days a year and save 55 cents every day, over the course of a year that’s $123.75. I’m saving money because I look older than I am. So be it.

1) At noon on Tuesday, Winthrop faces Radford in the first round of the Big South tournament, as March Madness officially gets underway. Should be a fun month. Charleston Southern/High Point are top top seeds there.

See spot. See spot bet: This week's best spot bet opportunities

Spot bets are a classic handicapping practice that have proven profitable no matter what sport you’re betting. Whether it’s a team looking past this week’s opponent, one coming off a hard-fought victory, or a rough patch of schedule, bettors can find value picking their spots.

Lookahead spot

Not having North Carolina in the NCAA tournament is like not having cheese on your pizza. But there is a chance the Tar Heels could get snubbed by the selection committee after a disappointing ACC run. They have won five in a row SU and ATS and have covered the spread in seven of their last 10 heading into the final week of the schedule. But UNC lacks a big win, with a recent victory over NC State as the lone feather in its cap.

The Tar Heels have one more shot to impress in the finale versus Duke at home this weekend. However, before adding the next chapter to the Tobacco Road Rivalry, UNC must take on another bubble team in the ACC – the Maryland Terrapins. The Terps are scratching for a place in the field of 68 and are always a tough out at home, going 3-1 ATS and SU in their last four contests in College Park.

Letdown spot

The Los Angeles Lakers have pulled themselves to .500, winning 13 of their last 18 games (8-10 ATS), and can make a huge statement in the Western Conference with a victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder Tuesday. Los Angeles is chasing the final postseason ticket in the West and heads into Tuesday’s road test 2.5 games back of the ninth-place Houston Rockets.

Following Tuesday’s tilt, Kobe & Co. move a few steps down the intensity ladder when they visit the New Orleans Hornets Wednesday. The Hornets are second last in the conference and have just four wins in their last 10 games, heading into Monday. New Orleans did, however, give L.A. a scare in their most recent meeting, covering as an 8-point road underdog in a 111-106 loss on Jan. 29.

Schedule spot

The last time the St. Louis Blues left on an extended road trip, they came home in the hunt for a high seed in the Western Conference. The team was hoping to have the same success again, starting a five-game Western road swing Sunday, but fell 4-1 to the Dallas Stars.

The Blues, who will be living out of their suitcases for a five-game, eight-day trek, take on the reigning champion Los Angeles Kings Tuesday, visit the Phoenix Coyotes (7-4-1-0 at home) Thursday, play at San Jose Saturday, and close the trip versus the Pacific-leading Anaheim Ducks Sunday.

Winter storm could wreak havoc on travel plans

Old Man Winter isn’t done wreaking havoc on the travel plans of collegiate and professional sports teams just yet.

Significant snowfall will make travel dangerous Monday night and Tuesday in the Upper Midwest, especially around major cities like Minneapolis, Indianapolis and Chicago, which is expected to get its biggest snowfall of the season — as much as 10 inches by Tuesday evening.

The storm will then track east towards Maryland and could cause significant travel delays.

Here are a few teams that could have their travel plans altered because of the storm:

NBA

Utah Jazz – The Jazz are in Milwaukee Monday night and need to get to Cleveland for their next road game with the Cavs on Wednesday.

Boston Celtics – Boston is in Philadelphia Tuesday night and has to board a plane immediately for Indiana for a clash with the Pacers on Wednesday.

NHL

Minnesota Wild – The Wild hosted the Oilers Sunday and visit the red-hot Blackhawks in Chicago Tuesday night.

NCAAB

St. John’s and Ohio St. could have travel delays/issues Tuesday. The Red Storm are at Notre Dame and the Buckeyes visit Indiana.

North Carolina could also face delays in its travels to Maryland for a game on Wednesday.

Study group: Tuesday’s Top 25 NCB betting notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St. John’s at (24) Notre Dame (-9.5)

St. John’s could use a strong road win to impress the NCAA tournament selection committee. The Red Storm did not do themselves any favors with a loss at Providence on Saturday and have dropped four of their last five games. Coach Steve Lavin suspended leading scorer D’Angelo Harrison for the remainder of the season Friday, a move that will be taken into account by the selection committee. The Fighting Irish are close to a lock for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament but could use wins over St. John’s and at Louisville in their final two regular season tests to really secure their fate. The Red Storm are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings.

Virginia Tech at (4) Duke (-20)

Blue Devils F Ryan Kelly scored a career-high 36 points as Duke defeated first-place Miami on Saturday in a stunning performance. He had missed the previous 13 games with a foot injury. Virginia Tech beat Clemson on Saturday for its second win in three games. The Hokies had lost nine straight games prior to recent victories over Florida State and Clemson and reside in last place in the 12-team conference. Virginia Tech was routed at home by the Blue Devils 88-56 on Feb. 21. The Hokies are 0-5 ATS in their last five games following a win.

(17) Marquette at Rutgers (+5.5)

Marquette has been unbeatable at home, but the Golden Eagles will have to win on the road if they hope to have a shot at winning the Big East Conference regular-season championship. Marquette is tied for second place with Louisville - one game behind Georgetown - with two to play. Rutgers will be holding Senior Night as it attempts to reverse a skid that has seen the team drop four straight and 10 of 11 games. The Scarlet Knights' drought continued with a 64-51 defeat at Big East leader Georgetown on Saturday. Rutgers' only win in the last 11 games was a two-point decision at home over Seton Hall, although each of its last four losses prior to Saturday was by eight points or fewer. Marquette has won the past six meetings with the Scarlet Knights and is 4-1 ATS in its last five games overall.

TCU at (10) Kansas State (-21.5)

Kansas State has made itself a lock for the NCAA tournament with wins in five straight games and nine of its last 10. The 10th-ranked Wildcats will be trying to keep their hopes of a regular-season Big 12 title alive when they host lowly Texas Christian. The Horned Frogs made their season with a shocking 62-55 triumph over Kansas back on Feb. 6, but have dropped seven straight since then and squandered their only chance to stay out of the Big 12 basement by falling at Texas Tech on Saturday. The Wildcats won at TCU 67-54 on Jan. 16, but will have to be careful not to overlook the Horned Frogs with a battle at Oklahoma State coming up on Saturday. TCU is 0-6 ATS in its last six road games.

(13) Ohio State at (2) Indiana (-8.5)

Indiana attempts to clinch the Big Ten regular-season title when the Hoosiers host Ohio State. The Hoosiers have a two-game lead over four other programs – including the Buckeyes – entering play in the final week. Ohio State has won three straight games but suffered an 81-68 home loss to the Hoosiers on Feb. 10. Indiana’s victory last month was just its second in the last nine meetings with Ohio State. The Buckeyes are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings.

(20) Memphis at Texas El-Paso (+4)

One game removed from clinching the Conference USA regular-season title, Memphis will try to remain unbeaten in league play when it travels to Texas El-Paso. The Miners will be returning home after playing three of four on the road, where they have struggled this season. In conference play, they've gone 3-4 away from the Don Haskins Center and 6-1 inside its confines. A win on senior night would help wrap up a first-round bye for the Miners in next week's Conference USA Tournament. The Miners have held opponents to below 40-percent shooting for five straight games and are 4-0-1 ATS in that span.

Betting the bubble: Four teams fighting for field of 68
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The final week of the regular season for the major conferences presents many bubble teams with a last chance to dance, needing convincing wins to inject their tournament hopes with life.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, which means college basketball bettors can find added value with these bubble teams against the spread. Here are four teams hoping to slide into the field of 68 at the last second.

Kentucky Wildcats (20-9 SU, 10-16 ATS)

Key wins: Missouri

It’s crazy to think the defending national champs might not make the tournament cut. But here we are in the final week of the schedule and Kentucky is teetering on a Selection Sunday snub. The Wildcats had a three-game winning run snapped at Arkansas, which makes this week’s games at Georgia and at home to Florida must-win situations.

Villanova Wildcats (18-12 SU, 17-9-1 ATS)

Key wins: Marquette, Syracuse, Louisville

We had the Wildcats on this list last week, heading into an important matchup with Pittsburgh. Villanova came up short in overtime and now Wednesday’s home game versus No. 5 Georgetown may be all that stands between the Wildcats and a spot in the NCAA. At least they get the Hoyas at home, where they’ve scored their biggest conference wins this season.

Maryland Terrapins (20-9 SU, 10-11-1 ATS)

Key wins: Duke, NC State

The Terrapins have two huge games this week. Maryland has a chance to set back UNC’s tournament hopes at home Wednesday then can jump over Virginia in the selection pecking order if they can knock off the Cavaliers in Charlottesville this weekend. Even if it wins both games, Maryland may still have its bubble burst on Selection Sunday.

Iowa State Cyclones (19-10 SU, 12-12-0 ATS)

Key wins: Kansas State, Oklahoma

The Cyclones could be the odd men out in the Big 12 after losing at Oklahoma last weekend. Iowa State’s last chance to impress comes versus No. 14 Oklahoma State at home Wednesday. It lost by two the last time it took on the Cowboys. The Cyclones finish the schedule at West Virginia – a game that can do nothing but damage ISU’s resume if it comes out flat.

Flyers at Rangers: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Philadelphia Flyers at New York Rangers (-150, 5.5)

Rick Nash is certainly keeping the faithful at Madison Square Garden on the edge of its seat. The offseason acquisition will look to extend his point streak to seven games when the New York Rangers host the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday. Nash scored a power-play goal in the third period and also converted in the shootout to send the Rangers to a 3-2 triumph over Buffalo on Sunday.

The victory was New York's second straight since it dropped four consecutive contests during Nash's absence with an undisclosed injury. Philadelphia has also won two straight - and five of its last seven, for that matter - after posting a 2-1 victory over Ottawa on Saturday afternoon. The win capped a 3-2-0 homestand, but the Flyers are just 4-8-0 away from the City of Brotherly Love.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, NBC Sports, TSN2

ABOUT THE FLYERS (11-11-1): Ilya Bryzgalov recorded his 200th career victory with arguably his finest performance of the season. The Russian, who turned aside 33 shots versus Ottawa, has yielded just three goals en route to splitting a pair of contests against New York this season (a 2-1 win on Jan. 24 and a 2-1 loss five days later). Wayne Simmonds has netted a pair of game-winning goals in as many outings - and has five tallies and four assists in his last seven contests. Simmonds has a goal and two assists in the teams' two meetings this season.

ABOUT THE RANGERS (10-8-2): Brad Richards was on the receiving end of a brutal hit from Buffalo's Patrick Kaleta, who was suspended for five games on Monday. Coach John Tortorella spoke for his absent player by saying, "He'll be fine" following Monday's practice. New York is 2-1-0 on its four-game homestand, but sits one point behind Philadelphia as the teams juggle for postseason positioning. Reigning Vezina Trophy winner Henrik Lundqvist stopped 26 of 27 shots in the teams' last meeting to improve to 23-11-3 in his career versus the Flyers.

TRENDS:

* Flyers are 1-9 in the last 10 meetings.
* Over is 5-1 in Flyers’ last six games following a win.
* Rangers are 2-8 in their last 10 vs. Atlantic foes.
* Flyers are 5-0 in their last five games after scoring two goals or less in their previous game.

OVERTIME:

1. Philadelphia LW Harry Zolnierczyk will serve the first contest of his four-game suspension on Tuesday. Zolnierczyk was handed the punishment after he left his feet to deliver a crushing blow to Ottawa D Mike Lundin.

2. Nash, who has three goals and six assists during his point streak, has seven points in nine career outings versus the Flyers.

3. Philadelphia RW Jakub Voracek picked up in March where he left off in February. Voracek scored against Ottawa after collecting seven goals and 14 assists in the 28-day month.
