Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

Updated odds to win the NBA championship next spring........

2-1 Miami Heat-- Going for the three-peat.

11-2 Oklahoma City Thunder-- Need Westbrook to get healthy.

10-1 Los Angeles Clippers-- I hear they got a new coach.

10-1 New Jersey Nets-- To paraphrase George Allen, the future is now.

11-1 Chicago Bulls-- Hopefully Derrick Rose will decide to play.

11-1 San Antonio Spurs-- All five Finals appearances? Odd # years.

*****

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

13) Max Scherzer has made 16 starts for Detroit this season; in those 16 games, Miguel Cabrera is hitting .500, with 8 HRs, 21 RBI. He has 158 RBI in his last 162 games.

12) Think about that, then realize Hack Wilson knocked in 190 runs in a 155-game season; that record might never get broken, if it wasn't broken during the steroids era.

11) San Diego Padres are stretching out Andrew Cashner's starts, as a way to limit his innings; teams generally don't like a pitcher to throw more than 20% more innings than his previous high-- Cashner threw 69 innings LY, has already tossed 86 this year, but because he's a starting pitcher for the first time, he'll go over the 20% mark.

Look for the Padres to shut him down in September, if they fall out of the NL West race. He's a good pitcher with a bright future.

10) We noted yesterday that Shelby Miller threw 51 pitches in an inning he never finished Friday, the most pitches in any one inning by a pitcher this season. Wade Davis of the Royals broke that record Saturday, throwing 53 in the first inning at Minnesota.

He threw 16 more pitches in the second inning, didn't get anyone out, and was sent to an early shower. Rough day.

9) Adam Jones has gone 168 plate appearances without a walk, which isn't good; the record (at least since 1974) is Mariano Duncan, who once went 325 plate appearances without a walk; again, not good.

8) Toronto's Jose Bautista has 140 homers the last four years; he had 61 homers in 6+ seasons before that.

7) When I hear someone say "....to be honest with you," I always wonder how many times that person hasn't been honest with me.

6) Pro golfer Jessica Korda fired her caddy during a round Saturday and replaced him with her boyfriend; this is the US Open, not the best time to be having fights with your caddy on the course.

5) Feel bad for the football players at Arkansas State, who will have their fourth head coach in four seasons this year, and thats not counting the interim coaches from their bowl games. Doesn't make for a great experience.

4) Former Oregon Ducks/NBA guard Luke Jackson, who is only 31, is the new basketball coach at Northwest Christian, an NAIA school in Oregon; he got the job when he met the old coach in the grocery store, and was asked if he'd like to be considered for the job. .

3) Why are the Clippers so anxious to trade Eric Bledsoe?

2) NBA is the one league that is more interesting in the off-season than during the season. Free agency is starting up in a couple days already.

1) Good to see former Southern Miss point guard Dwayne Davis will be playing for Golden State's team in the Las Vegas summer league, so will be fun to see him play out there..

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

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

New York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles (-121, 8.5)

TILLMAN ON FIRE

Chris Tillman is 9-2 with a 3.72 ERA for the Orioles. He has won six of his last seven starts and he is 5-0 in the month of June. The righty has given up just 10 runs in those five starts this month with wins coming over the hard-hitting Tigers and Red Sox. Tillman has had a bit of a control issue in his last three starts; he has a negative 10/11 strikeout/walk ratio. He has not faced the Bronx Bombers since September 2nd when he allowed 2 runs and two hits in three innings in an 8-3 Baltimore win. Tillman hasn’t seen the Yankees at home since September 19th, 2010 when he gave up six walks in just over three innings.

KURODA KEEPS ON GOING

Hiroki Kuroda is 7-5 with a 2.77 ERA. He has held opposing hitters to a .200 batting average over his last three starts which came against the Dodgers, Rangers, and Athletics. He has not won a road start in his last four chances picking up two losses and two no-decisions. He pitched in Baltimore back on May 22nd and gave up 5 runs and eight hits in two innings. Kuroda has been able to pitch into the sixth inning in six straight starts.

INJURY REPORT

The Yankees continue to have numerous big names on their injury list. Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson, Derek Jeter and Kevin Youkilis are all out as well as Michael Pineda and Francisco Cervelli. Pineda is on a rehab assignment and he could be back after the All-Star break. A-Rod is ready to start a rehab assignment with Jeter aiming to return in July as well. Granderson could be back next week after fracturing his pinkie finger.

Baltimore's injury list is short and about to get shorter with Brian Roberts most likely being activated on Sunday. Wei-Yin Chen is dealing with an oblique injury, while Wilson Betemit has a knee injury that may keep him out until the end of July.

TRENDS

Yankees are 0-4 in Kuroda’s last 4 road starts
Yankees are 34-15-2 Under in Kuroda’s last 51 starts

Orioles are 21-8 in Tillman’s last 29 starts
Orioles are 3-1-1 Over in their last 5 Sunday games

HITTERS TO WATCH

Robinson Cano 8-for-16 vs. Tillman
Ichiro Suzuki 1-for-10 vs. Tillman

Nate McLouth 3-for-22 vs. Kuroda
J.J. Hardy 2-for-14 vs. Kuroda
