Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

Only ten colleges had teams in the NCAA basketball tournament, NCAA baseball tournament and a football bowl game this school year.........

Florida Gators
Oklahoma Sooners
Kansas State Wildcats
Oklahoma State Cowboys
Louisville Cardinals
Oregon Ducks
Ole Miss Rebels
San Diego State Aztecs
NC State Wolfpack
UCLA Bruins

*****

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud.........

13) 2014 NFL Draft will be the second weekend in May, pushed back three weeks from this year; I think eventually, once this concussion lawsuit is settled, the NFL will go to an 18-game regular season, with the Super Bowl being played Presidents’ Day weekend.

12) Going into Tuesday night’s games, Mike Napoli (4.48) and AJ Ellis (4.41) have seen the most pitches per plate appearance.

11) Four of the top six on this list are/were catchers; three of the top eight play for the Indians.

10) On flip side, Steve Lombardozzi (3.03) and Nolan Arenado (3.18) have seen the fewest pitches per plate appearance.

9) Monday night’s crowd of 32,911 was smallest ever for a Mets-Bronx game. New York City, like most places, is a town for frontrunners now and not the great baseball city it once was. The hideous Wilpons have beaten the joy out of baseball for a lot of Met fans.

8) Want to feel old? I know I did when someone told me Tuesday was Jerry West’s 75th birthday. Ever see the NBA logo? That’s Jerry West, 40+ years ago, when he was a great player and before he became a great, great executive.

7) New Hofstra coach Joe Mihalich (a sharp guy) hired Speedy Claxton as a special assistant to the basketball program; Claxton is probably Hofstra’s best-ever basketball player who had a fairly long NBA career.

6) Over the last 16 years, under is 13-3 in the Tennessee Titans’ first road game of the season. Just thought you’d like to know.

5) How does Rutgers hoop coach Mike Rice get fired but the new AD and school President keep their jobs?

From what you read, the AD was more abusive as a coach than Rice, but now she gets hired to oversee an entire program? How does this happen?

4) Sunday against the Cardinals, Carl Crawford was 3-4 with two doubles, a terrific game; Monday, he sat out the first game of Freeway Series because CJ Wilson was pitching. Crawford is 3-18 with a HR vs Wilson in his career, but he is hitting .308 with an OB% of .369 this year. He's a good player.

Crawford makes $20.8M a year; Dodgers didn't play on Thursday, so he had only played three days in a row. How does he not play vs Wilson? Dodgers are floundering badly; they need all hands on deck, especially the hands that are filled with serious amounts of cash.

3) Last time there was an NBA postseason without a 4-0 series sweep was 2000.

2) San Antonio Spurs are most underrated franchise in all of sports, but you get feeling they like it like that; they’re also a kick in teeth to American basketball, as nine of their 15 guys were born outside the United States. Maybe that’s why Greg Popovich hasn’t been the Olympic coach.

1) Should Spurs play Miami in NBA Finals, it’ll really be the first time the starting 5’s have met this season. First meeting in November was the night the Spurs openly gave Parker-Duncan-Ginobili the night off, still led in the 4th quarter, before losing by 5.

NBA fined them six figures for blatantly tanking a nationally televised game. Rematch was night Miami said Wade/James “were injured” so they didn’t play, and Heat won by hoop, led by big night from Bosh. Miami didn’t get fined because they were politically correct. Will be lot of mind games if this series takes place.

Wednesday, May 29

Presidents' Cup winner Blackhawks forced Game 7 at home with wins in Games 5-6; they are 5-1 at home in playoffs, with only loss in Game 2 of this series. Five of Hawks' seven playoff wins are by 3+ goals; they're 2-3 in games decided by 1-2 goals. Detroit has same amount of power plays as Chicago in series, but is 1-21 on power play, while Chicago is 4-21. Detroit is 3-4 on road in playoffs, winning a Game 7 in Anaheim, but they led this series 3-1, then had 2-1 lead after two periods in Game 6 and couldn't close deal, doubtful they're going to win second consecutive Game 7 on road. Hosts are 19-4 in this round of playoffs, with under 12-7-4, 2-1-3 in this series. Under is 15-4-4 in last 23 series games.

Red Wings at Blackhawks: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Detroit Red Wings at Chicago Blackhawks (-208, 5)

Series is tied 3-3.

The Detroit Red Wings are in the same position they were in during their Western Conference first-round series against the Pacific Division champion Anaheim Ducks. This time, however, the top-seeded Chicago Blackhawks have all the momentum on their side as they host seventh-seeded Detroit in Game 7 of their second-round matchup on Wednesday. The Red Wings trailed the Ducks 3-2 before winning Game 6 at home and emerging with a 3-2 victory in the decisive seventh game in Anaheim.

Detroit captured three straight games against Original Six rival Chicago after dropping the series opener but have been unable to put away the Presidents' Trophy winner. The Blackhawks were held to a total of two goals - both from Patrick Kane - in their three losses before their offense began clicking. Andrew Shaw scored twice in a 4-1 home triumph in Game 5 and Chicago erupted for three tallies in the first 9:43 of the third period on Monday to erase a one-goal deficit and avoid elimination a second straight time with a 4-3 win.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBCSN, CBC, RDS

ABOUT THE RED WINGS: Chicago has done a tremendous job shutting down Detroit's top two offensive weapons. Captain Henrik Zetterberg has recorded three assists over the first six games of the series, while center Pavel Datsyuk has scored one goal and set up one other. Considering their past production in Game 7s, the dynamic duo is being counted on to help the Red Wings avoid a total collapse. Zetterberg has collected eight points in seven career seventh games and Datsyuk has recorded five points in six Game 7s. "In games like these, that's when they shine the most," defenseman Niklas Kronwall told the Detroit Free Press. "They seem to find that comfort zone and just go out there and produce and make things happen out of nowhere." Center Damien Brunner has scored three of his team-leading five goals in this series.

ABOUT THE BLACKHAWKS: Right wing Jamal Mayers, who has yet to appear in a game this postseason, admitted his actions during pregame warmups on Monday were intended to unnerve the Red Wings. Mayers intentionally shot several pucks into Detroit's net with Jimmy Howard still standing in the crease, earning himself a fine from the NHL. "I was trying to get under their skin, I'm not going to hide behind it or lie to you," Mayers told the Detroit Free Press. Despite staving off elimination twice, the Blackhawks realize there's still work to do. "It's all for nothing if we can't win the next game," defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson told the Chicago Sun-Times. Marian Hossa added, "We still know if you lose, it's all a waste." Hossa (six) and Michal Handzus (four) are the only Chicago players to have appeared in more than one Game 7.

TRENDS:

* Under is 7-1-4 in the last 12 meetings in Chicago.
* Under is 19-6-4 in the last 29 meetings.
* Home team is 5-2 in the last seven meetings.
* Red Wings are 3-10 in the last 13 meetings.
* Red Wings are 1-5 in the last six meetings in Chicago.

OVERTIME:

1. The winner earns a trip to the conference final to face reigning Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles. The Blackhawks would begin the series at home, while the Red Wings would start on the road.

2. The Blackhawks became the 49th team in NHL history to force a seventh game after trailing 3-1 in a series. Half of the first 48 teams have won Game 7.

3. Chicago's Joel Quenneville is 0-5 as a coach in playoff series against the Red Wings.

MLB Top 4: Bankroll busters on the rise
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two of the big spenders this MLB offseason weren’t seeing an immediate return on investment, with the Los Angeles Angels and Toronto Blue Jays plummeting to the bottom of their respective divisions as well as the MLB money rankings

However, the Halos and Jays have picked themselves up in recent games and could start playing to their potential. Jumping on those clubs, as well as two other teams on the rise, presents some serious value before the market adjusts:

Los Angeles Angels (23-28, 8-1 last nine games)

The Angels were the worst bet in baseball for most of the season but an eight-game winning streak and the impending return of ace Jered Weaver has Los Angeles rounding into form. The Halos are hitting .320 in the past seven days, heading into Tuesday, and averaged more than 7.3 runs during the eight-game winning run.

Toronto Blue Jays (22-29, 4-2 last six games)

Toronto has also turned up the intensity on offense in recent outings. The Jays are batting a collective .299 and have scored 52 total runs in their last seven games – most in the majors. This current stretch is a small sample size but Toronto proved it can contend by winning the series opener with Atlanta. New pitchers R.A. Dickey and Mark Buehrle are also beginning to settle in.

Chicago White Sox (24-25, 5-2 last seven games)

The White Sox’s recent stretch has them right in the middle of the heated AL Central race. The ChiSox benefited from a visit by the Marlins but also took two over the Red Sox last week. Chicago finished April with a 10-15 record but has gradually picked up the slack in May thanks to steady pitching and a promising bullpen. Ace Chris Sale is also back on the mound after an injury scare this week.

Los Angeles Dodgers (21-28, 4-3 last seven games)

A 4-3 span isn’t going to make anyone rich, especially when you consider the Dodgers have already burned bettors for -13.89 units – most in the National League. However, L.A. faithful got their money’s worth Monday, with the team fighting back from a 6-1 deficit, beating the Angels 8-7. It was a ballsy win, one manager Don Mattingly desperately needs. Adrian Gonzalez is flexing his muscles at the plate and Hanley Ramirez is inching close to a return.

NCAAF Top 4: Small programs with big QB problems

Notre Dame joined the long list of big-name college football programs looking to replace stud quarterbacks with the recent suspension of Everett Golson.

The Irish join the likes of Florida State, Syracuse, USC and West Virginia, who are all moving on after the loss of exceptional passers. But the big boys aren’t the only ones with QB questions. Many smaller football programs are trying to plug the hole under center.

Here are four smaller programs with big QB problems this season:

Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (2012: 9-3 SU, 5-6-1 ATS)

The Bulldogs boasted the No. 1 scoring offense in the land, averaging 51.5 points per game under the guidance of QB Colby Cameron. He’s now in Carolina trying to hold a clip board for the Panthers and new head coach Skip Holtz is trying to iron out that wrinkle in his depth chart. He has redshirt junior Scotty Young, currently tabbed No. 1, or redshirt freshman Ryan Higgins.

Miami (Ohio) Redhawks (2012: 4-8 SU, 3-8-1 ATS)

Former QB Zac Dysert is going to the “Peyton Manning School of Quarterbacking” in Denver and the Redhawks are on the hunt for a No. 1 QB for the first time in four years. Miami (Ohio) head coach Don Treadwell will hand the ball to Austin Boucher but he could share snaps with Austin Gearing with the Redhawks expected to dumb down the passing game and run more. Miami (Ohio) averaged only 88 yards per game on the ground – 121st - last season.

Duke Blue Devils (2012: 6-7 SU, 6-7 ATS)

Duke isn’t technically a small school but the football team is treated as such in Durham. The Blue Devils had a steady start to the year with QB Sean Renfree making throws and even managed to make a bowl game for the first time since 1995. Now, head coach David Cutcliffe is putting his faith into Anthony Boone. He makes the offense more dangerous, making plays with his legs, but was shaky passing the ball in the spring.

Arkansas State Red Wolves (2012: 10-3 SU, 9-4 ATS)

Arkansas State had a big year in 2012, thanks in part to QB Ryan Aplin, who was one of the most accurate arms in college football. Aplin parlayed that success into an undrafted free-agent deal with Cleveland. The Red Wolves new head coach Bryan Harsin has plenty of experience grooming QBs at Boise State and Texas, but has his work cut out for him with sophomores Fredi Knighten and Stephen Hogan, and senior Phillip Butterfield.
