Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

-- Horrendous call on pickoff at 2B ended Brewer-Philly game; instant replay is needed in the big leagues, the sooner the better.

-- Over their last ten road games, Giants were outscored 44-8 in the first three innings- their starting pitching has slipped noticeably.

-- Eric Mangini left ESPN to become a consultant with the 49ers, who are breaking in a new offensive coordinator this year. Interesting.

-- Eldrick Woods shot 44 for his first nine holes Saturday, playing holes 15-18 in +7. Thats seven over par for four holes. Yikes.

-- Toronto-San Diego game is 10pm first pitch Sunday night because of a Rock 'n Roll Marathon in San Diego during the day Sunday.

-- Mark Buehrle's 26 interleague wins are most in MLB history.

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Some late spring college hoop knowledge........

Its never too early to start thinking college basketball; the rankings we use in this article are from 2013 Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings. Here are some conference-related notes we came up with this weekend:

13) Over last 12 years, the eventual national champ is 11-1 vs spread in its second tournament game, with ’07 Florida Gators (W74-67, -11.5) the only exception to that trend.

12) Big East has become more of an NBA-style league, ranking 26th in offensive efficiency LY, by 2nd in offensive rebounding %age, meaning there’s lot of brute force on display under the basket, and less skill on the perimeter. This was the 4th year in row Big East ranked in top 2 in offensive rebounding.

11) Losing VCU hurt the CAA, as it slipped to the #18 league (out of 32) its lowest ranking in over a decade; 28 of its 99 games were decided by 4 or less points or in OT, the highest %age of close games of any conference.

10) Six of 108 Pac-12 games were decided by 20+ points, a surprisingly low number.

9) Mountain West home teams were 51-21 SU LY; they had so many good teams, they were all tough at home. MWC took a huge hit with graduation this spring though- lot of those teams will be rebuilding this fall.

8) Atlantic Sun lost Belmont to the OVC and slipped from #15 to #24 league, even with Florida Gulf Coast’s fun run to the Sweet 16.

7) Look at it this way though; if Belmont stays in the A-Sun, they probably win that league again, and Andy Enfield still lives in Fort Myers, while USC has a different coach. Funny how USC’s fortunes were indirectly tied to Belmont (Bruins of all people!!!) switching leagues.

6) I’m surprised the Ivy League has played slowest games in country two years in a row; why hasn’t one of those teams adopted the Paul Westhead run-‘n-gun style and tried to create a unique niche for itself? Ivy teams made 72.8% of their FTs this year (#1 in country), 36.9% of its 3-pointers (#2 in country).

5) Only three of 56 Ivy League games were decided by 20+ points. I’m telling you, if one of these teams committed to a breakneck pace, they could make a dent in this league.

4) MEAC teams press a lot; they played 2nd-fastest games in country. 22 of its 90 games were decided by 20+ points, indicating a lack of balance, but the #’s 1-4 teams in MEAC all lost their first conference tournament game, so go figure.

3) WCC home teams were only 36-36 SU; talent gap in this league, with Gonzaga/St Mary’s so dominant, they win just about all their road games too.

2) Patriot League jumped to the #16 league this year, first time in 12+ years it has been in top 20. Only 8 of their 56 games were close games, decided by 4 or less points or in OT.

1) Ken Pomeroy’s ratings favor teams that protect the ball well, so its no surprise the Big Dozen ranked #1 in the country for third year in a row; for the 8th time in last 10 years, Big Dozen games ranked last or 2nd-to-last in average tempo.

NASCAR betting: FedEx 500 preview

NASCAR is taking on the Monster Mile at the Dover International Speedway for the FedEx 400 Sunday.

The event will mark the midpoint of the 26-race regular season and a year ago, nine of the top-10 ranked drivers leaving “The Monster Mile” wound up punching their tickets into the Chase.

Here’s our betting preview:

Favorite: Jimmie Johnson (+400)
Johnson has owned Dover in the past and was the fastest on the track at practice this week. He won both races at Dover in 2002, becoming the first driver in history to score a season-sweep at a track during his rookie campaign. Johnson has seven wins, 11 top-fives, and 16 top-10s in 22 starts at the Monster Mile. He is also the defending champ.

Live dog: Kurt Busch (+2000)
In 25 Dover starts, Busch has one win (2011), six top-fives and eight top-10s. He led 90 laps in his October 2011 win and has led at least two laps in each of his last four starts. He’s starting to heat up and bettors can get great value on him this weekend.

Long shot: Ryan Newman (+7500)
Newman has great value this week for a driver that boasts three wins and six top-fives at Dover in 22 starts.

Key stat: The winner of 16 of the last 19 races at Dover has come from a driver who started inside the top 10.

Notable quotable

"Dover is one of my favorite tracks. It's one of the few tracks that you get your greatest sense of speed. You can really feel the speed inside the car and anything can happen at that one-mile oval, making the nickname 'Monster Mile' very fitting. When you drop off into the corner, you feel the speed the most.” - Paul Menard

Jimmie Johnson 4/1
Kyle Busch 5/1
Matt Kenseth 6/1

NFL Games of the Year: Bears-Steelers stuck on key number

Odds are out for the biggest and best games of the upcoming NFL season. Covers Expert Bryan Power gives you his insight into some of these marquee matchups and predicts where the odds could move before kickoff.

NFL Week 3: Chicago Bears at Pittsburgh Steelers (-3)

Past History: 1-1 SU, ATS, 2-0 Under (since ’01)

Early look at the Bears: For a second straight season, the Bears collapsed down the stretch. They were the only team to win 10 games and miss the playoffs last season. Many tabbed them as a dark-horse Super Bowl contender at this time last year, but that’s not the case in 2013 as most books have their win total at 8.5, which in a tough NFC would probably have them on the outside looking in.

Early look at the Steelers: The Steelers rarely have back-to-back losing seasons, so after finishing just 8-8 (also fell apart late in the season), the knee-jerk reaction is to call for improvement and a return to the playoffs. Oddsmakers are calling for a three-horse race in the AFC North with the Steelers, Bengals and Super Bowl Champion Ravens having all near identical odds to bag the division title. Pittsburgh is projected at nine wins (some 9.5’s) at most books.

Where this line will move: It’s surprising to see the Steelers only get the token three points for home-field advantage in this one. It’s probably because sharp bettors would jump all over Pittsburgh at -2.5 or Chicago at +3.5. This will be the Bears' road opener after opening against the Bengals and Vikings at home. Pittsburgh should win its opener at home versus Tennessee, but could be off a loss in Week 3 as it travels to Cincinnati the week before. Either way, it would be tough to see this game coming off the key number of three.

Armadillo's Write-Up

Sunday, June 2

Chicago outshot Kings 17-2 in first period yesterday, but trailed 1-0; they scored twice in second period to win 2-1, win 4th game in row and take 1-0 series lead. LA is now 1-6 on foreign ice in playoffs; Blackhawks have killed 42 of 43 power plays in playoffs- they're 6-41 with man advantage, Kings are 7-37. Chicago is 3-1 vs LA this year. Under is 6-3-4 in Chicago's playoff games, 11-2-1 in Kings'-- last six LA games all had exactly three goals scored in them. Not sure why teams are playing back/back days, but Kings are 5-3 this season when playing second night in row, 3-1 if it is second night in row on road. Chicago won 10 of its 11 games this season if they played night before.

Kings at Blackhawks: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Kings at Chicago Blackhawks (-160, 4.5)

Blackhawks lead best-of-seven series 1-0.

The Los Angeles Kings faced little resistance on the road during last season's impressive run to the Stanley Cup. This year's path has been paved with pitfalls, however, as the fifth-seeded Kings will look to overcome their troubles away from Staples Center and level their Western Conference final series at one game apiece on Sunday when they visit the top-seeded Chicago Blackhawks. Patrick Sharp scored his NHL-leading eighth goal and Marian Hossa tallied nearly four minutes later in the second period as the Blackhawks skated to a 2-1 triumph in Game 1 on Saturday.

The final score is a certainly familiar one for Los Angeles, which has lost all six of its postseason contests by that same result. The setback dropped the Kings to 1-6 away from home - a stark contrast to their 10-1 mark during last season's playoffs. Corey Crawford turned aside 21 shots as Presidents' Trophy-winning Chicago improved to 7-1 at the United Center.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBC Sports, TSN, RDS

ABOUT THE KINGS: Jonathan Quick deserved a better fate after stopping all 17 shots in the first period and 34 overall. The reigning Conn Smythe Trophy winner allowed goals following a rebound and a deflection in the second period before closing the door. Justin Williams followed up his magnificent Game 7 performance versus San Jose with his third goal in two contests - although he technically didn't even shoot the puck on his first-period goal on Saturday. Chicago's Dave Bolland attempted to clear the puck from the slot, but it bounced off Williams' stick and inside the right post.

ABOUT THE BLACKHAWKS: While Bolland's brutal hit on Los Angeles' Mike Richards late in the third period brought the United Center fans to their feet, it may also receive some attention from the league. Richards was behind the net when he elected to change course in an attempt to tuck the puck inside the near post. Bolland appeared to leave his feet when delivering the hit to the chin of Richards, who had trouble regaining his faculties as he skated to the bench. "I just came in and hit him," Bolland said matter-of-factly. "It's a quick game. It's a hard-hitting game. It's just the way it is."

TRENDS:

* Kings are 1-12 in their last 13 road games.
* Under is 8-0-2 in Kings’ last 10 road games.
* Blackhawks are 9-2 in their last 11 Sunday games.

OVERTIME

1. After killing off both of Los Angeles' power plays, Chicago has yet to yield a goal in 23 short-handed situations at home in the playoffs. In total, the Blackhawks are 42-for-43 on the penalty kill.

2. D Duncan Keith led Chicago in ice time (23:55) and matched LW Bryan Bickell for the team lead with five shots.

3. The reason for the quick turnaround between games stems from a Rolling Stones concert, which is scheduled for Monday at the United Center.

Sunday Night Baseball: Red Sox at Yankees
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunday Night Baseball comes to New York as the Yankees host the Red Sox.

Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees (-115, 8)

MOLDING WINS FROM CLAY

Clay Buchholz is back after missing a start due to soreness in his right AC joint. The righty is 7-0 with a 1.73 ERA while holding opponents to a .194 batting average. This will be his second start against the Yankees after picking up a win against them on April 3 in New York. In that game, Buchholz allowed one run and six hits in seven innings, striking out four while walking two. The righty has been spectacular on the road, allowing just four total runs in his four starts away from Boston. His one weakness may be a lack of control, but even that hasn't been too bad with exactly three walks in each of his past three outings.

KURODA KEEPING IT GOING

Hiroki Kuroda has been one of the best pitchers for his team this season. The Yankees’ starter is 6-3 with a 2.39 ERA. He got a no-decision his last time out in a pitcher's duel with Matt Harvey when Mariano Rivera blew his first save of the season. Kuroda had a rough outing against Boston at home back on April 3 when he gave up two runs and four hits in just 1 1/3 innings before getting hit by a line drive. The righty has allowed only five earned runs in five starts at home.

INJURY REPORT

The injury situation is steadily improving for the Yankees who just recently got Kevin Youkilis and Mark Teixeira back from injuries. The lineup is still awaiting the return of Curtis Granderson, Alex Rodriguez, and Derek Jeter. They are also without Eduardo Nunez and Francisco Cervelli. Andy Pettitte is going to return from his neck injury on Monday against the Indians. Michael Pineda is also potentially coming back in June as he returns from a shoulder injury. Boston’s list is a lot shorter with Shane Victorino and Will Middlebrooks on the DL. Both are expected back early this month. The loss of Joel Hanrahan to Tommy John surgery could make things interesting for Boston’s bullpen.

TRENDS

The under is 8-2 in Buchholz’s last 10 Sunday starts.
Red Sox are 9-1 in Buchholz’s last 10 starts
The over is 9-4-1 in the Yankees’ last 14 Sunday games.
Yankees are 7-3 in Kuroda’s last 10 starts

HITTERS TO WATCH

Robinson Cano 12-for-28 vs. Buchholz
Lyle Overbay 7-for-25 vs. Buchholz
Stephen Drew 8-for-24 vs. Kuroda
Dustin Pedroia 7-for-15 vs. Kuroda

MLB betting: Cardinals an awesome road bet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The St. Louis Cardinals have been absolute gold for bettors on the road.

The Cardinals boast a league-best 20-9 road record heading into action Saturday. The next best clubs away from home (Boston, Baltimore) are only five games above .500.

Any $100 bettor would be up $1,083 if they wagered on each of St. Louis’ away games. However, bettors will have to wait until June 7 for the Cards’ next road tilt.

St. Louis hits the road for a 10-game trip down the east coast, beginning in Cincinnati. The Cardinals will then head down the coast for three-game sets with the New York Mets and Miami Marlins.

St. Louis has a combined 7-3 record against the Reds and Mets this season, and has yet to square off with the lowly Marlins.

The Cardinals are averaging 5.06 runs per game and their pitching staff boasts an impressive 2.97 ERA away from Busch Stadium.

Unfortunately, that hasn’t translated to a prevailing over/under trend. St. Louis is 14-13-2 O/U on the road to date.
