Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday........

13) Listening to The Masters on TV has become disturbing, since there is obviously a gag order on any criticism of the course. Gary McCord made some wiseass comments (thats what he gets paid to do) a few years back, and hasn't been seen at Augusta since.

When you can almost hear the announcers walking on eggshells so they keep their jobs, it makes for bad TV, to the point where the mute button is the preferable option. Nick Faldo spoke his mind Saturday morning on the Golf Channel, but by 3:10 on CBS, he was towing the company line that letting Eldrick Woods play was the right thing to do.

At least Saturday morning was good TV, when it was out of the hands of some of the strangest people in America, the members at Augusta National.

12) Bottom line is this: TV ratings would've crashed if Eldrick Woods had WD or been DQ'd, and no one benefits from that, not CBS or the PGA Tour or the nitwits at Augusta. But from this point on, spare me the BS that golf is a game of honor moreso than other sports. Saturday proved otherwise.

11) Albert Pujols hit a walk-off double as Angels scored twice in the 8th, twice in the 9th to nip Houston 5-4, avoiding a 2-9 start, and also ending the Astros' three-game winning streak.

10) This is how my sports weekend has been: one of the ballgames showed a graphic with these three faces on it:
-- Jose Reyes, my fantasy SS, out three months (ankle).
-- Giancarlo Stanton, my fantasy RF, out for weekend (shoulder)
-- Yoenis Cespedes, A's LF, on 15-day DL (hand).

Freakin' awesome.

9) Indiana has 14 basketball players signed up for scholarships for 2013-14; problem is, they can only give out 13, so before next fall, someone will have to get the boot, or magically become ineligible. Last year at this time, Indiana had 15 kids for 13 spots; one sub transferred out, another flunked out.

Its a shady way of doing business, but also generally accepted.

8) Cullen Neal was all set to play PG for St Mary's next year, until his dad Craig became the head coach at New Mexico, so now the younger Neal will also be a Lobo. Bad news for the Gaels, who lose Matthew Dellavedova to graduation and need a point guard.

7) Philip Humber pitches for Houston Sunday; Kevin Slowey pitches for Miami. Its third start of season for both guys; their team was shut out in each of their first two starts. Hope they get some support Sunday.

6) Only six of 30 starting pitchers finished the 7th inning Saturday, with both Shields/Wainwright tossing complete games.

5) When I was a kid in the 70's, starting pitchers went much deeper into games, and closers generally got more more than three outs a game, so there were roster spots in the bullpen that weren't that important.

Nowadays, middle relievers are critical to a team's success, since starters generally only last six or so innings (100-110 pitches) and closers rarely are asked to get more than three outs. Those six outs in the 7th-8th innings are gotten now by guys who wouldn't have been on the mound 30-40 years ago, especially the 7th inning guys.

4) Glad Diamondbacks hired analyst Bob Brenly away from the Cubs; he's a regular guy who explains the game well-- never got that much of a chance to listen to him when he was in Chicago, since they play so many day games. The best TV broadcasts have a little laughter, a little discussion about current hot topics and a little silence to let the game breathe.

3) I love watching football. Spring football? Not so much.

Still think they should play exhibition games in full uniform and make some more money off the kids in the spring. Then I'd watch.

2) I can say it now: Papa John's pizza is the best pizza I've ever had.

1) Odds to win Masters, as of late Saturday night:
Snedeker 2-1, Scott 7-2, Cabrera 5-1, Woods 11-2, Day 7-1, Kuchar 10-1.

Five NHL teams fighting for their playoff lives
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Action is heating up in the NHL and every game is likely to have playoff intensity in the final two weeks of the season.

Here are a few teams fighting for their playoff lives down the stretch:

Winnipeg Jets (21-19-2 SU, 21-21 ATS, 16-25-1 over/under, ninth in East)

Remaining schedule: vs. Tampa Bay, vs. Carolina, vs. Islanders, at Buffalo, at Washington, vs. Montreal

The Jets and Rangers both have 44 points heading into action Saturday, but New York holds the tiebreaker. Winnipeg also trails Washington by two points for the Southeast Division lead. The Jets have a favorable schedule down the stretch and the division title could up for grabs when they square off with the Capitals on April 23.

New Jersey Devils (15-16-10 SU, 19-22 ATS, 16-18-7 over/under, 10th in East)

Remaining schedule: at Toronto, at Philadelphia, vs. Florida, at Rangers, vs. Montreal, vs. Pittsburgh, at Rangers

The Devils have dropped nine straight games to fall out of playoff contention, but it’s not too late for New Jersey to turn things around. The Devils trail the Jets and Rangers by four points for the eighth and final playoff spot heading into action Saturday. New Jersey plays New York (Rangers) twice down the stretch and will need victories in both affairs to have a shot at the playoffs.

Dallas Stars (20-17-3, SU, 24-16 ATS, 21-15-4 over/under, ninth in West)

Remaining schedule: vs. San Jose, at Chicago, vs. Vancouver, at St. Louis, at Los Angeles, at San Jose, vs. Columbus, vs. Detroit

The Stars have won four straight games to catapult them into a three-way tie for ninth in the West. Dallas has found the back of the net 18 times during the win streak and is one of the best puckline bets in the league (24-16 ATS). But bettors beware: The Stars have an incredibly tough schedule down the stretch against quality opponents.

Phoenix Coyotes (18-16-7 SU, 20-21 ATS, 18-18-5 over/under, ninth in West)

Remaining schedule: vs. San Jose, at St. Louis, at Chicago, at Detroit, vs. San Jose, vs. Colorado, at Avalanche

The Coyotes are only 5-9-6 on the road to date and they’ll have to find a way to earn points away from the desert in order to make a push for the playoffs.

Columbus Blue Jackets (18-16-7 SU, 30-11 ATS, 15-24-2 over/under, ninth in West)

Remaining schedule: at Minnesota, at Colorado, at Anaheim, at Los Angeles, at San Jose, at Dallas vs. Nashville

The Blue Jackets play six of their final seven contests on the road where they have been a great under play (6-12 O/U) to date. Bettors have been cashing on Columbus’ league-best 30-11 ATS record all season long.

All stats and schedules prior to action Saturday.

Spurs at Lakers: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

San Antonio Spurs at Los Angeles Lakers (+6, 204)

After carrying the Los Angeles Lakers all season, Kobe Bryant will have to watch his team make its final playoff push without him. Bryant will miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn left Achilles’ tendon in the final minutes of Friday’s win over Golden State, and the Lakers will need to regroup quickly in order to hold onto the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. They have two regular-season games remaining, starting with Sunday’s matchup against the visiting San Antonio Spurs.

The game could be a first-round playoff preview if San Antonio grabs the first seed and Los Angeles maintains its one-game lead over ninth-place Utah. The Lakers, who finish the regular season on Wednesday at home against Houston, have no margin for error since the Jazz own the tiebreaker. The Lakers have lost four straight to the Spurs, who clinched at least the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference on Friday. San Antonio has struggled recently, losing four of their last seven games.

TV: 9:30 p.m. ET, KENS (San Antonio), TWC SportsNet (Los Angeles)

ABOUT THE SPURS (58-21): San Antonio made a surprising move on Friday, waiving veteran small forward Stephen Jackson just six days before the end of the regular season. “We’re getting ready for playoffs and putting our team together, what we want to do and who we want to do it with,” coach Gregg Popovich told reporters. Jackson, 35, averaged 6.2 points in 55 games this season. His release was prompted by several factors, including the emergence of Kawhi Leonard, who leads the team in steals.

ABOUT THE LAKERS (43-37): Los Angeles controls its playoff destiny, but hardly anyone was thinking about that after Bryant’s injury. “It’s a tough blow for everyone,” forward Pau Gasol told reporters in a quiet locker room after Friday’s 118-116 victory over the Warriors. “It’s difficult to ****** what happened.” Gasol registered his sixth career triple-double in the win, and the Lakers will need a repeat performance against the Spurs. Reserve guard Jodie Meeks is expected to start in place of Bryant.

TRENDS:

* Spurs are 0-4 ATS in their last four games overall.
* Under is 7-0 in Spurs’ last seven road games.
* Over is 4-0 in Lakers’ last four overall.
* Road team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Spurs F Boris Diaw will miss three to four weeks after having back surgery on Friday.

2. Lakers PG Steve Nash has missed the last six games with lingering right hip and hamstring issues.

3. The Lakers are 3-7 in their last 10 games against San Antonio.

Sunday Night Baseball: Orioles at Yankees
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Orioles are on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball for the first time since 2008. They take on the Yankees in a battle of AL East foes.

Baltimore Orioles at New York Yankees (-135, 8.5)

AS THE INJURIES TURN

The Yankees were scheduled to have Andy Pettitte go on Sunday, but he was pushed back to Tuesday or Wednesday as he's dealing with back spasms. Manager Joe Girardi said it was a precautionary move and hopes that it won't be an issue in the future. Hiroki Kuroda will start in his Pettitte’s place on Sunday night. Kuroda has not been at his best so far early on, giving up five runs and nine hits in just over six innings of work. He walked four in a win over the Indians. The righty faced Baltimore three times last season, going 1-1 with a no-decision. He allowed seven runs and 17 hits in those contests.

SOLID SOUTHPAW FOR BALTIMORE

Wei-Yin Chen has not picked up a win yet this season despite pitching two fantastic ballgames. He has given up just five runs and 12 hits in road games against the Red Sox and Rays. The second year starter faced New York five times last season winning twice, while losing two times as well. Chen was a spectacular find for Baltimore going 12-11 with a 4.02 ERA in 32 starts for the Orioles last campaign. He showed good control walking only 57 in 192 2/3 innings, while striking out 154. Chen's one issue was that he gave up 29 homers which could become a problem with all the power hitters in the AL East.

INJURY REPORT

It's a tale of two different teams in this respect. Baltimore is without Brian Roberts and Wilson Betemit in the lineup. The Yankees, however, have a longer list of guys dealing with ailments. They are without Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson, and Alex Rodriguez. Jeter, Teixeira, and Granderson all hope to return by May, while A-Rod is looking at a July return. The rotation is without Michael Pineda who has not thrown a regular season pitch for the Bronx Bombers after undergoing Tommy John surgery last year. Pineda is expected to be out until June.

TRENDS

* The over is 5-2-1 in the Oriole’s last eight Sunday games.
* Orioles are 1-4 in Chen's last five road starts
* Yankees are 37-17 in their last 54 Sunday games
* The under is 4-1 in the Yankees’ last five games vs. a left-handed starter.

HITTERS TO WATCH

J.J. Hardy 1-for-10 vs. Kuroda
Nate McLouth 2-for-16 vs. Kuroda

Robinson Cano 3-for-11 vs. Chen
Kevin Youkilis 2-for-6 vs. Chen

Chicago Blackhawks at St. Louis Blues (-111, 5)

Probable starting goaltenders: Ray Emery (CHI), Brian Elliott (STL)

Blues G Brian Elliott recorded three consecutive shutouts before watching rookie Jake Allen struggle in the Blues' 4-1 loss to Columbus on Friday. The setback snapped a six-game winning streak for sixth-place St. Louis, which sits one point behind San Jose and one ahead of Minnesota in the congested Western Conference. Elliott extended his impressive shutout streak to 189 minutes, 31 seconds by leading the Blues to a 2-0 triumph over the Wild on Thursday. Chicago has won four straight and leads surging Pittsburgh by just two points in the race for the Presidents' Trophy. The under is 4-0-1 in the Blues’ last five overall.

Tampa Bay Lightning at Buffalo Sabres (-120, 5.5)

Probable starting goaltenders: Mathieu Garon (TB), Ryan Miller (BUF)

The Sabres have collected points in 11 of their last 16 games (8-5-3) heading into Sunday's home tilt against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning rallied from four goals down to forge a tie before dropping a 6-5 overtime loss at Washington on Saturday. Tampa Bay, which sits nine points behind the Rangers and 11 in back of Southeast Division-leading Washington, has allowed 22 goals in a 1-3-1 skid. The teams split a pair of 2-1 results at Tampa Bay earlier this season. The over is 4-1 in the Lightning’s last five overall.

Detroit Red Wings at Nashville Predators (+121, 5)

Probable starting goaltenders: Jimmy Howard (DET), Pekka Rinne (NSH)

Residing outside the top eight in the Western Conference, the Red Wings look to snap a three-game winless skid (0-1-2) on Sunday. The Music City representatives also have been singing sour notes of late, dropping five in a row and eight of nine (1-6-2) to fall seven points behind eighth-place Dallas. The Red Wings are 1-4 in the last five meetings.
