Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

-- Nets dropped from 40-1 to 10-1 to win NBA next season after trading for Garnett/Pierce Thursday night.

-- Atlanta Braves retired Larry Wayne Jones’ #10 Friday night. Chipper could’ve gone to the AL and hung on as a DH for few more years, but opted for retirement.

-- Shelby Miller threw 51 pitches in the second inning alone Friday, most pitches thrown by any pitcher in any inning this season.

-- My friend John submits two more sets of look-alikes: Bronx C Chris Stewart and the Joker on Batman; Rangers 1B Lance Berkman and NASCAR’s Tony Stewart.

-- Stan Musial had 3,630 hits in his career; 1,815 at home, 1,815 on road.

-- Congrats to Juniata College on signing Trevor Clune to play basketball next year; young Clune played for Meadville HS-- if he has dad's ability and his mom's smarts, he has a bright future.

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind.......

13) 26 of the 60 players drafted in last year’s NBA Draft played in the D-League, and this year’s draft was even weaker. Am curious to see some summer league games in Las Vegas in a couple weeks.

12) Chip Kelly went 46-7 in four years coaching Oregon; I’m thinking he loses more games than that in his first year with the Eagles.

11) 166 poker players ponied up $111,111 each to get in what is really the most elite tournament of the World Series of Poker, because the steep buy-in pretty much eliminates amateur players. That’s a prize pool of over $18M, so it’ll be interesting to follow who wins that. Think Antonio Esfandiari won last year’s event.

10) Why wasn’t Jeff Van Gundy on ESPN’s draft coverage? Unless he didn’t want to be, it makes no sense for a network not to have your top analyst with a role in the broadcast.

9) New Memphis Grizzlies’ coach Dave Joerger paid his dues, coaching several years in pro hoops’ minor leagues, winning the ’07 D-League title with the world-famous Dakota Wizards. Phil Jackson/George Karl coached in the CBA in the 80’s; that’s how you learn your craft.

Joerger is a no-name, but am betting he’ll wind up being a damn good coach. Plus from the team’s standpoint, obscure guys get paid less than big names, at least until they win.

8) Former Nets’ head coach Lawrence Frank is back with the Nets, as Jason Kidd’s top lieutenant. You’d think a former head coach would have too big an ego to make a move like that, but Frank was a student manager as a college student at Indiana so despite being a former head coach, his ego is probably somewhat smaller than most.

7) Rodney Hood is expected to make a splash at Duke this winter after transferring from Mississippi State, but he hurt his Achilles this week while playing for USA Basketball, and his people are holding their break that it isn’t a torn Achilles.

6) D1scourse.com points out that over the last five years, 19 players from the teams in the new AAC were drafted by NBA teams; only 15 players from current Big East schools were selected.

5) Celtics-Clippers aren’t allowed to make any more trades with each other until the end of next season.

4) Sharpshooter Jordan Price has transferred from Auburn to LaSalle, where he’ll have three years to play starting in 2014-15. Price made 11 treys in a row at one point last season, before injuring his foot.

3) Friday was a day for undrafted players to scramble for a summer league team to play on. One kid I think will wind up being a good pro is UNLV’s Anthony Marshall, who will play for Miami’s summer league team in Las Vegas next month.

2) 33 of the 125 Division I-A college football coaches were quarterbacks in their playing days; only three were running backs.

1) In 1975-76, George Seifert went 3-15 as the head football coach at Cornell, and the Ivy League school fired him.

13 years later, Seifert was hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy as head coach of the Super Bowl champion 49ers. Life is funny, it goes in cycles. Have to hang in there through the rough patches.

NFL Games of the Year: Expect tight odds in Manning vs. Brady

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

NFL Week 12: Denver Broncos at New England (-3)

Past history: NE 3-1 SU and ATS (3-0 both SU and ATS since 2011), 1-3 O/U (“over” last three), all since 2009; the Patriots have scored 39 ppg in three meetings since 2011 against John Fox’s Denver defense.

Early look at the Broncos: As long as Peyton Manning stays in the lineup and upright in the pocket, Denver remains the team to beat in the AFC West. With another season to get more comfy with a dynamite receiving corps that only got stronger in the offseason when adding Wes Welker from the Patriots, it should be easier for Manning to fully detonate the no-huddle and accelerated tempo the Broncos were stressing in the offseason. Successful implementation of such tweaks might be the difference between an early playoff exit (like last season) and a Super Bowl trip.

Early look at the Patriots: The Aaron Hernandez fiasco, on top of Welker’s departure and Rob Gronkowski’s injury concerns, have cast more doubts upon Tom Brady’s receiving corps than at any time in recent memory. Having said that, Brady has made successful adjustments before and by late November the new targets, such as WR Danny Amendola, should have indoctrinated themselves to offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels’ hurry-up scheme. Bill Belichick’s rebuilt defense also helped get the Patriots back to the AFC title game last season.

Where this line will move: Peyton Manning failed to cover his first eight chances against Belichick-coached teams early in his career, but has covered in five of eight since. The Patriots were favored by 6.5/7 in last year’s game at Gillette Stadium, played in early October. Had the teams met in an AFC title rematch (as was expected) in Denver, the Broncos would have been slight favorites at home. In Foxborough, however, no matter how well Manning and the Denver offense might be performing in late November, this line is likely not moving in the Broncos’ direction if the Patriots are enjoying their customary success. In that scenario, it’s hard to envision the price dipping beneath the current number.

NASCAR betting: Quaker State 400 preview

Who will be victorious in the third NASCAR Sprint Cup Race at Kentucky Speedway, which has a reputation for being a "rough track" on Sunday?

Here’s our betting preview:

Favorite: Kyle Busch (7-1)

Busch has one win, one top-five and two top-10s in two starts at Kentucky Speedway. There have been 534 laps circled across the two races held at Kentucky and KB has led 45.5 percent of them

Live dog: Brad Keselowski (12-1)

Keselowski won last year's race at Kentucky with a backup car. He took a gambled on fuel late in the race to rack up his third win of the 2012 season. He ranks second, out of 45 drivers with an average place of 3.8 at Kentucky.

Long shot: Ryan Newman (80-1)

Newman finished fourth in the 2011 race at Kentucky but crashed with 59 laps to go last year after qualifying fifth. He has two top-10 finishes in his last five Sprint Cup races and has great value at 80-1 this week.

Key stat: Ten different drivers have posted top-10 victories at Kentucky in just two Sprint Cup races.

Notable quotable:

"I love how much character that racetrack has. It's so rough. The groove moves around, and you really are just trying to dodge the big swells and bumps to find grip for your race car.” –Jimmie Johnson on racing Kentucky Speedway

Roughriders at Eskimos: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saskatchewan Roughriders at Edmonton Eskimos (+1.5, 49)

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are hoping their prized acquisition Geroy Simon will be ready when they open their regular season by visiting the Edmonton Eskimos on Saturday. The veteran slotback and all-time CFL career receiving yards leader suffered a leg injury during the preseason but is considered probable to start alongside Weston Dressler in what should be a fearsome offence for the Roughriders. Edmonton allowed a West Division-worst 25 points per game last year, but the team addressed the issue by acquiring free agent Odell Willis while defensive end Marcus Howard is now healthy.

Saskatchewan finished last season on a four-game losing streak and fell 36-30 to Calgary in the playoffs. Edmonton will have its third different opening-day quarterback in three years as former BC Lions backup Mike Reilly will get the start with Matt Nichols suffering from an ACL injury. Reilly has two previous CFL starts in his career. Pivot Darian Durant is entering his fifth season as the starter for the Roughriders, who posted a 31-24 victory over the Eskimos to open the preseason.

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, TSN

LINE MOVES: Saskatchewan opened as a 1-point road underdog but action in the Riders has swayed the line to Saskatchewan -1.5. The total opened at 50 and has moved to 49 with money on the under.

ABOUT THE ROUGHRIDERS: Saskatchewan is starting its season with eight players on the injured list, including veteran fullback Neal Hughes, wide receiver Kierrie Johnson and linebacker Abraham Kromah. Along with the injuries, the team will also be without defensive lineman Tearrius George, who will serve a one-game suspension for a helmet-to-helmet hit against Calgary in the playoffs last year. Durant had the most efficient season of his career in 2012, throwing 20 touchdowns and completing a career-high 64.4 percent of his passes while recording his lowest interception total (12) since becoming a starter.

ABOUT THE ESKIMOS: Linebacker JC Sherritt was named Most Outstanding Defensive Player after setting a league record with 130 tackles last season. Sherritt was also tied for second on the team with five interceptions, one behind league leader Joe Burnett. Reilly fared well in his two previous career starts with the Lions, throwing for 682 yards and completing 69.3 percent of his passes. The 28 year old’s main target will be veteran slotback Fred Stamps, who finished second in the league with 1,310 receiving yards last year.

TRENDS:

* Under is 14-4 in the last 18 meetings in Edmonton.
* Roughriders are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 meetings.
* Roughriders are 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings in Edmonton.
* Eskimos are 1-4 ATS in their last five games in June.
* Roughriders are 37-17-1 ATS in their last 55 games in Week 1.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Edmonton, which finished last season with a 7-11 record, was 3-7 against West Division opponents.

2. Stamps is expected to play on Saturday despite sitting out much of Edmonton’s preseason due to soreness.

3. Roughriders RB Kory Sheets completed a mediation course last month after facing charges of battery domestic violence filed in January. The charges were dropped following the completion of the course and Sheets has been cleared to play by the team.

MLB Top 4: Bettors beware clubs about to self-destruct
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The MLB season is quickly approaching the halfway mark and with it, the July 31 trade deadline.

Trade rumors have hogged the headlines over the past week, and more than a few teams are making regular appearances in those reports.

Baseball bettors should beware of clubs about to push the plunger and blow up their roster – along with 2013’s aspirations. Players on the trading block are focused on where their next paycheck is coming from, not the next pitch, and teams can take a nose dive as the deadline draws closer.

Here are four MLB clubs who could be swinging the wrecking ball over the next month:

Philadelphia Phillies (38-42, -9.05 units)

The Phillies have been on dynamite watch around this time in each of the past three seasons. An aging roster and massive payroll haven’t produced results and Philadelphia sports fans don’t have much patience left for the franchise. Honestly, this team should have been blown up back in 2011.

Cliff Lee continues to be the big name floating around, even though the Phillies brass denies trade talks. Also cracking the rumor mills are Jonathan Papelbon, Chase Utley, Chris Young, Carlos Ruiz, and even Roy Halladay – the latter four are all free agents this winter.

Chicago White Sox (32-43, -11.92 units)

Everybody in the American League Central has a shot at the division crown this season, with Minnesota only six games back in fourth place. Everyone but the White Sox that is, according to the trade buzz coming out of the Southside.

With Chicago nine games back of the lead, it appears that the ChiSox are willing to clean house with the exceptions of starter Chris Sale and veteran slugger Paul Konerko. According to CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman, a fire sale could include names like Alex Rios, John Danks and Alexei Ramirez.

Chicago Cubs (33-44, -7.14 units)

The Cubbies are still in rebuilding mode in Year 2 under wiz kid Theo Epstein and a deconstruction of 2013’s foundation appears to be on the way, starting with ace Matt Garza. The right-hander has improved his stock with three straight solid outings and is on the radar of just about every contending club in the bigs.

Chicago is also dangling carrots like Scott Feldman, Kevin Gregg, Carlos Marmol, David DeJesus, Nate Schierholtz, and Alfonso Soriano this month. The Cubs’ July schedule has them on the West Coast for a good chunk of the month.

Milwaukee Brewers (32-45, -15.46 units)

You’d have to be drunk off your ass to be betting on the Brew Crew right now. Milwaukee has been blitzed by the injury bug all season, fielding a different lineup almost every night. Ryan Braun is out with a bum thumb and who knows what suspensions lay ahead for him in the MLB’s ongoing PED investigations.

The Brewers pitching staff could stand for a good implosion, currently touting a collective ERA of 5.00 – second worst in the majors. Ace Yovani Gallardo is their biggest card in the deck when it comes to making moves. From the sounds of it, Milwaukee is on the fence about whether or not to pack it in. But with 11 of their next 17 away from home, where the Brewers are 13-22, the decision could be clearer by mid July.
