Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

-- Happy Canada Day to all our friends north of the border.

-- A movie called Monsters University raked in $46.2M this weekend. At one point, people thought the invention of VCRs would really hurt movie theaters. Guess not.

-- Canucks surprisingly dealt goalie Cory Schneider to New Jersey, when it was Roberto Luongo who wanted to be traded. Schneider was 17-9-4 for the Canucks this past season.

-- Manny Machado has 38 doubles; the record is 67, set back in 1931.

-- Nashville Predators took D Sean Jones with the 4th pick in NHL Draft; Sean is son of 13-year NBA veteran Popeye Jones.

-- I am baffled by teams fighting to land Dwight Howard as a free agent; he isn't worth all that money. Coach-killer.

*****

Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend.........

13) Pirates beat Milwaukee 2-1 in 14 innings Sunday in front of 35,951 happy fans, Pittsburgh's first non-sellout in their last six home games.

12) Pittsburgh hits the halfway mark 51-30 with a 2-game lead over the Cardinals; why did the Rockies fire Clint Hurdle? He had them in the World Series in 2008- his firing was a puzzler.

11) One last Pirate note; they wear 1971 throwback uniforms on Sundays, the ones Roberto Clemente and Willie Stargell wore. Pretty cool.

10) ESPN is showing the putrid Mets on Wednesday night baseball this week; God forbid they put the Pirates or A's on. You know, good teams.

9) Someday, the little girl on the AT&T/slow turtle commercial is going to be very embarrassed when she looks back on her explanation as to why it would be good to be a slow turtle. Not her finest moment.

8) Bill Haas won the AT&T golf tournament this week, despite getting a triple bogey during the week; he is the first golfer to win with a triple on his card since Phil Mickelson at the '09 Tour Championship.

7) 14 of 27 PGA Tour events this year have had at least one rain delay.

6) Puig-o-nometry: Yasiel Puig went 4-5 Sunday, with a double/triple; he is 44 for his first 100 in the major leagues. Not bad.

5) Before last week, I had never heard of Paula Deen; still not that sure what she does, but she sure is getting fired by a lot of companies who were apparently paying her to endorse their products.

4) David Lough had four extra base hits Sunday, the first Royal to do that since Johnny Damon in 2000 (and second since 1986).

3) If you had under 7.5 in Padres-Marlins game Sunday, you experienced a very bad beat. A Jeff Mathis walk-off grand slam? Oy.

2) Knicks are talking about trading for Andrea Bargnani; his best game was back on December 8, 2010, when he had 41 points, 16 rebounds. Against the Knicks.

His contract is a bad one, but the Nets spent serious money this week, so I guess New York feels they have to be equally short-sighted.

1) Whatever the Orioles are paying Buck Showalter, it ain't enough.

NFL Games of the Year: Books have different opinions on Ravens, Lions

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 15: Baltimore Ravens at Detroit Lions (+1)

Past history: The teams split SU and ATS results in their last two meetings, played in 2005 and 2009. Both of those games went over the total as well. Both coaches (Baltimore’s John Harbaugh and Detroit’s Jim Schwartz) were on the job when the Ravens won the last meeting by a 48-3 score at M&T Bank Stadium in 2009.

Early look at the Ravens: We’ll see if the subtle adjustment made by offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell, allowing QB Joe Flacco more audible freedom after Cam Cameron’s December dismissal, keeps Flacco soaring as he was late last season when tossing 15 touchdowns and only one pick in the last seven games during the Ravens’ Super Bowl run. The gnarly defense has lost some familiar names (Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Paul Kruger), but respected tactician Dean Pees should still be able to scheme effectively with a more versatile group of playmakers augmented by free-agent addition LB/DE Elvis Dumervil and a collection of well-regarded rookies featuring hard-hitting S Matt Elam (Florida) and LB Arthur Brown (Kansas State).

Early look at the Lions: By this point in the season, we should have a good idea if the under-fire Schwartz is going to be able to save his job. Or, if things have already gone pear-shaped at Ford Field, as they did a year ago when mental mistakes were rampant and morale was low, Schwartz could have walked the plank by this point. Detroit thinks it has enough offense to get back into the playoff mix, especially after the offseason addition of RB Reggie Bush. How defensive coordinator. Gunther Cunningham successfully juggles his stop unit personnel mix will be key. Top draft picks DE Ziggy Ansah and CB Darius Slay, plus free-agent addition FS Glover Quin, need to make immediate contributions.

Where this line will move: The oddsmakers have built in a slight downgrade for the Ravens, while anticipating a recovery from last year’s collapse by the Lions. Both notions could be flawed. Almost the entire regular season will have been played by this point and remember that each of Harbaugh’s first five Baltimore teams have not only made the playoffs but also won a game in the postseason. If the Ravens don’t dip as much as some believe, and the Lions continue on their self-destructive path, it’s easy to see this number moving considerably in Baltimore’s direction. At the moment, the tenuous situation involving Schwartz would seem to make Detroit a very risky future proposition as the season progresses.

'Over' bettors cash big in CFL Week 1

The ‘over’ went a perfect 4-0 in Week 1 CFL openers,

The eight teams combined to score 277 points in Week 1 (69.25 points per game) with the Calgary Stampeders leading the way with 44 points in their opener against the BC Lions. The two clubs played 24 points over the 52-point total.

In fact, the four openers played over their respective totals by a combined average of 17 points.

Here are some of the biggest adjustments on the CFL futures board after Week 1:

Saskatchewan Roughriders (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS, 1-0 over/under)

Opened: +800
After Week 1: +400

The Roughriders destroyed the Edmonton Eskimos at Commonwealth Stadium, 39-18, on Saturday. The Green Riders received a 131 yard-effort from RB Kory Sheets and put four offensive TDs on the board. Saskatchewan’s focus now turns to its Week 2 home opener against the Calgary Stampeders.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS, 1-0 over/under)

Opened: +1700
After Week 1: +2200

Oddsmakers opened the Blue Bombers as the biggest underdogs in the league and their odds have tumbled further after falling 38-33 to the Montreal Alouettes in the season opener.

MLB betting: July good/bad month pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Listed below are MLB hurlers that have enjoyed a two-to-one or better success ratio in team starts the last three seasons during the month of July.

On the flip side, we’ve also listed pitchers that struggle in July team starts, winning 33 percent or less of their efforts.

To qualify pitchers must have made a minimum of 10 starts, with at least one start each July over the last three years.

GOOD MONTH PITCHERS:

Mark Buehrle (10-5)

After a repugnant start to the season with his new team, Buehrle has lowered his ERA by over two runs and been a contributor to the Blue Jays turning around their season. With the warmer weather on the way, the left-hander is expected to use all four of his pitches and move them around the edges of the strike zone and win games as per usual.

Kevin Correia (10-4)

Correia is a bit of a dinosaur these days, with a fastball topping out in the high-80’s. What he does do for the teams he’s played for is keep them in games and more often than not places them in a position to win, something the right-hander has been very good at historically in this month.

Roy Halladay (10-3) DL

“Doc” has begun long tossing as part of his rehab for damaged wing and is expected back sometime in August for the Phillies.

Tim Hudson (12-5)

The Braves starter will turn 38 years old this month and is having a season more typical of when he first joined Atlanta in 2005, giving up quite a few home runs and not hitting his spots. Chances are Hudson will find a good groove, but needs more run support if he’s going to continue racking up wins in July.

Ian Kennedy (10-5)

Kennedy is back after serving his 10-game suspension for his part in the Diamondbacks/Dodgers brawl. To date, the Snakes righty has not been very good and though many of his peripherals are similar to the past, he’s given up 25 percent more home runs than his career average. Arizona needs Kennedy if it is to remain atop the NL West.

Clayton Kershaw (11-5)

It has certainly been an unusual year for Kershaw with a 6-5 record, in spite of being on pace for a career-lows in earned run average and opponents batting average. His problems have been giving up the big hit at the wrong time and the lack of support from the Dodger bats. Even a few runs would take the pressure off and let this 25-year-old stud get in his regular groove.

Rick Porcello (8-4)

Once thought to be ace material, Porcello is a back of the rotation hurler for Detroit. He’s a ground ball pitcher and the Tigers’ infielders cover the least amount of ground as any team in baseball according to fielding metrics, which beefs up his hits allowed. When Porcello is right, he wins a lot of 5-3 games, helping his club in the win column.

CC Sabathia (10-4)

It has not been business as usual for the big left-hander and if Sabathia is going to have a typical July, he has to keep the ball in the park. In 2012, he surrendered a career-worst 22 long balls and has conceded 17 already this year. The Yankees need the CC they are accustomed to seeing in the highly competitive AL East.

Jered Weaver (13-5)

It’s hard to fathom, even with an injury, Weaver enters this month with just one victory in 2013. However, do not be surprised if this number rises rapidly, as the Angels ace closed last month strong and his velocity has been rising to normal levels. With more speed on his four-seam fastball, the array of spinning sliders, slow curves and changeups keep opposing hitters off balance.

BAD MONTH PITCHERS:

Bruce Chen (4-11)

After leading Kansas City in wins each of the last three years, Chen has been a fixture in the Royals bullpen this season.

Doug Fister (5-12)

Being supported by Detroit’s lineup card is a far better option than being backed by Seattle, Fister’s former team. This month has been extremely tough for the California native, as he’s seven games below .500 this month.

Jeremy Guthrie (5-12)

After a sensational start, Guthrie has witnessed his ERA jump from 2.28 on May 9, to 4.11 as July begins. The adjusted figure is more similar to his big league track record and the superior downward movement he had early on his fastball has dissipated, leaving more pitches up in the zone.

Bud Norris (4-11)

Pitching for the Astros since 2009 has not helped Norris when it comes to wins and losses. Houston is already listening to trade deadline offers for the 28-year-old who can be overwhelming at times. Yet for any pennant contender, Norris has an ERA of 5.49 the past three years on the road, which plays a factor in his miserable numbers in July.

Ricky Romero (4-12)

After a couple of ugly starts in early May, Romero was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo, trying to reboot his career.

Jays don't give bettors reason to celebrate on Canada Day
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Rogers Centre will be a sea of red and white Monday with the sold-out home crowd celebrating Canada Day. The Toronto Blue Jays, who will sport their special red July 1 uniforms, take on the Detroit Tigers in Game 1 of a four-game set.

The Blue Jays haven’t been at their best on Canada’s birthday in recent years. In fact, they’ve lost three straight July 1 matchups heading into Monday’s contest.

Since 1999, Toronto is 5-9 on Canada Day, including a 3-3 record at home. If you wagered $100 on each of those 14 games, you’d be down -$310.64 and trading in your ice-cold Moosehead Cracked Canoe for a warm case of Laker Lager your uncle found in his old boat.

The Jays have been home for the holiday the past two seasons, losing 10-6 to the Los Angeles Angels last year and 7-6 to the Philadelphia Phillies in 2011. Both of those games played over the total.

Toronto is an even 7-7 over/under on July 1 (3-3 over/under at home) and has actually outscored opponents 72-67 over those 14 games, with an average of 9.93 combined runs in those contests against an average total of 9.28.

Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (7-8, 4.72 ERA) gets the call for Canada Day, coming off a two-hit shutout of the Tampa Bay Rays his last time out. The Blue Jays are 9-8 over/under in his 17 starts this season. He matches pitches with Tigers rookie Jose Alvarez (1-1, 3.78 ERA, 1-2 O/U).

Toronto is just 2-6 as a moneyline favorite on Canada Day since 1999, with a 3-3 mark as an underdog.

L.A. baseball teams finally turning profits for bettors
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles baseball clubs, who were the worst bets in baseball for most of the season, are starting to turn profits.

The Dodgers have won eight of nine and the Angels are winners of six straight.

The Dodgers had put together six consecutive wins before getting routed 16-1 by the Phillies on Friday. Dodgers pitchers allowed only 2.33 runs per game during the six-game run and helped the under cash in four of the contests (2-4 over/under). Any $100 bettor would be up $687.36 if they had bet on each of the Dodgers' last nine games.

The Angels have been underachieving all season long, but could they be starting to turn the corner? The Halos have strung together six consecutive wins to move within four games of .500.

Any $100 bettor would be up $597.58 if they had bet on each game of the Angels' impressive run.
