Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Current odds to win the World Series this season.......

13-2-- Detroit Tigers-- This was before Cabrera got hurt last night.

7-1-- St Louis Cardinals-- Will they add a player before trade deadline?

8-1-- Atlanta Braves-- Stole a game at Citi Field Monday night.

9-1-- Boston Red Sox-- Last year's disaster seems like a long time ago.

9-1-- Los Angeles Dodgers-- From worst to first place in 22 days.

10-1-- Oakland A's-- AmericA's team needs a healthy Cespedes.

*****

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Random thoughts as I head home........

13) Tigers lost Miguel Cabrera with a hip flexor Monday night; not good for them if the big guy misses an extended period. He's that good.

12) Pirates lost closer Jason Grilli with right forearm issues in ninth inning Monday; they should go get Jonathan Papelbon. Try to win.

11) Nationals have now lost Dan Haren's last 11 starts; tough year for the Nats, who were expected to be a playoff team.

10) If you bet the total in the first five innings of a game, which is an option, note that since the All-Star break, under is 33-24-3 in the first five innings of a game.

9) UTEP hoop coach Tiom Floyd is mad because his prize recruit, Isaac Hamilton, is never going to get to El Paso- he's miraculously come up with a sick grandmother in LA and wants to go to school in that area. The school that lands Hamilton (UCLA or USC) will have some explaining to do, as far as tampering charges go.

If it is USC, the plot thickens, since Floyd used to be the coach at USC, before recruiting issues cost him his job there. Ironic.

8) SEC football coaches are all over ESPN; last week it was pre-season press conferences on ESPNU, this week they're all in studio, with the SEC Network starting next year. Has to help recruiting a lot.

7) Tim Lincecum threw a no-hitter last week, then went out Monday and gave up eight runs in 3.2 IP. Giants have an interesting decision as far as he is concerned; kind of tough to give him a big contract after the last two years.

6) Orioles won 9-2 in Kansas City Monday; Baltimore pitchers threw only 116 pitches, while KC hurlers threw 201. Buck Showalter is winning games with a pitching staff that doesn't have a true #1 ace starter.

5) Forgot to mention this last week; former Missouri coach Quin Snyder is an assistant coach with the Atlanta Hawks and coached their summer league team. Further proof that sitting next to Mike Krzyzewski doesn't make you a great coach, or even a good one.

4) I don't give a rat's ass about the Royal Family; I hope the little baby is healthy and happy, but other than that, don't want to hear a word about any of them. What do they do? Do they have any special skill? Oy.

3) RIP Dennis Farina, the great character actor who played so many tough guys in TV/movies. He was also the manager of the Twins who got fired in the beginning of Little Big League, an underrated movie.

2) Bottom line on the Ryan Braun suspension is this: Milwaukee's season is history, so Braun took a plea bargain, is docked $3M+ in salary but gets to start over next season. We'll see who else goes down that path this month.

1) I'm heading home from summer vacation, energized by my friends and the fun we've had, ready to tackle whatever lies ahead. If you've never been to Las Vegas, you should do it, even if only once- there's a little something for everybody here. I hear gambling is legal here.......lol

See spot. See spot bet: This week's best spot bet opportunities

Spot bets are a classic handicapping practice that have proven profitable no matter what sport you’re betting. Whether it’s a team looking past this week’s opponent, one coming off a hard-fought victory, or a rough patch of schedule, bettors can find value picking their spots.

Lookahead spot

The Montreal Alouettes opened the 2013 CFL season with high hopes and +400 odds of winning their first Grey Cup since 2010. Things haven’t gone as planned for the Als, who head into Week 5’s encounter with the Edmonton Eskimos at 1-3 SU on the year and set as 5-point favorites. Montreal’s offense is at the bottom of the CFL barrel, averaging just 275.2 yards per game – most noticeably the rushing attack which has stammered for an average of 67 yards.

The Als have some serious tinkering to do on their bye week, which so happens to follow this Thursday’s home game. New head coach Dan Hawkins is feeling the pressure and a break would allow him to re-think his game plan - or career path. His players are also feeling the crunch and could be miles away – mentally - from Percival Molson Memorial Stadium with some vacation around the corner.

Letdown spot

Don’t give the Baltimore Ravens any extra motivation. You never know what could happen. Last year, Ray Lewis’ swan song carried the club to a Super Bowl. Now, everybody and their dog are banking on a Baltimore downgrade in 2013. But the club can prove them wrong with a strong showing versus the Broncos – this year’s Super Bowl fave – in the Week 1 opener.

Win or lose that Thursday Night Football matchup, the Ravens are ripe for a letdown at home hosting the Cleveland Browns in Week 2. Early odds have Baltimore set as a 7.5-point favorite coming off an emotional season opener, on a night when it will celebrate its Super Bowl title. The Ravens were 3.5-point chalk in both meetings with Cleveland last year, covering in each game.

Schedule spot

The mish-mash MLB interleague schedule marches on with random matchups each week. Over bettors are licking their chops with the upcoming AL-versus-NL battle between the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies – the top two over teams in the majors. Combined, the Tigers and Phillies are 105-88-3 over/under as of Monday, topping the total in more than 54 percent of their games.

Philadelphia comes to the Motor City for three games, starting Friday. The teams haven’t met in interleague play since 2007, when they played over the number in two of three games at Philadelphia. So far in 2013, Detroit has gone 6-3 over/under versus NL foes while Philadelphia is 7-10 over/under in interleague play.

NFL Top 3: Run-happy teams looking to pass more

You’ve got to throw the pigskin to keep pace in the NFL these days. Only three teams ran the ball more than 50 percent of the time in 2012, and even those clubs are looking to pass a lot more in 2013.

Total bettors should keep a close eye on teams turning up the intensity and airing it out, finding added value in betting the over in their early games. Here are three run-heavy offenses looking to the skies.

Seattle Seahawks (11-5 SU, 8-8-0 over/under)

Pass offense: 27th (189.4 ypg)
Rush offense: 3rd (161.2 ypg)

The Seahawks were the most rush-heavy offense in the NFL last season, handing the ball off on 54.24 percent of their plays. Marshawn Lynch rumbled for 1,590 yards and 12 TDs while QB Russell Wilson threw only 393 passes.

Wilson proved himself worthy of more touches down the stretch and was awarded for his efforts by the acquisition of speedster Percy Harvin and a more wide open playbook. He joins breakout WR Golden Tate and Sidney Rice in an impressive Seahawks receiving corps. Seattle went 4-6 over/under in its first 10 games before Wilson got hot and led them to a 5-1 over/under mark after the bye.

San Francisco 49ers (11-4-1 SU, 9-6-0 over/under)

Pass offense: 23rd (206.1 ypg)
Rush offense: 4th (155.7 ypg)

The Niners went 10-1 over/under when Colin Kaepernick took over for the fallen Alex Smith last season. The dynamic dual-threat passed for 1,814 yards but the 49ers still called for the run in 51.51 percent of their offensive plays – third most in the NFL. That helped San Francisco average 155.7 yards on the ground, which was fourth in the league.

This offseason, the Niners are looking for a lot more from Kaepernick under center. The 49ers added Anquan Boldin and still have Mario Manningham and TE Vernon Davis downfield, despite losing Michael Crabtree for the season. Running back Frank Gore could get limited carries with speedy backs LaMichael James and Kendall Hunter catching balls in the flat.

Kansas City Chiefs (2-14 SU, 6-9-0 over/under)

Pass offense: 32nd (169.6 ypg)
Rush offense: 5th (149.7 ypg)

The Kansas City Chiefs didn’t do much well in 2012, besides run the football. They rushed for 149.7 yards an outing, which was fifth best in the league. Kansas City ran 49.26 percent of the time and only threw for 6.2 yards per pass attempt with Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn sharing snaps. An injury to star WR Dwayne Bowe also compounded the passing issues in Arrowhead.

The Chiefs made some of the biggest splashes this offseason, picking up spurned QB Alex Smith and bringing in former Eagles head coach Andy Reid, who ran the ball just 38.28 percent of the time during his last year in Philly. Bowe is back and healthy and Jon Baldwin showed he could be a real weapon. Running back Jamaal Charles will be split carries and catches in the backfield in Reid’s pass-happy playbook.

Mountain West Conference college football preview

Note: Team write-ups are excerpts from the 2013 PLAYBOOK Football Preview magazine. Numbers following team name represent the amount of returning starters on offense and defense, with an asterisk (*) designating a returning quarterback. Potential designated ‘Play On’ and ‘Play Against’ Best Bets follow each team’s preview.

Mountain Division

AIR FORCE (3/5)

Team Theme: MISSION POSSIBLE

On paper the Cadets look mighty thin with only 3 starters back on offense and a defense that’s gone backward each of the last three years. But rebuilding and reloading is never an issue with a military team as prospects waiting in the wings are always ready to be the next man up. That experience this season comes in part from 24 first-time starters last year, the most in the nation. And remember this: only five times since the AFA joined the Commander-in-Chief competition in 1972 have they been swept in the same season, as was the case last year. With skipper Troy Calhoun off his first losing season with the Academy, expect a u-turn in 2013.

Stat You Will Like: Three of the last four games with Navy have gone to overtime.

PLAY ON: at Navy (10/5)

BOISE STATE (*5/4)

Team Theme: BOWL ME OVER

For the second straight year, head coach Chris Petersen finds the cupboard bare with just nine returning starters back for the Broncos. This year, however, his troops will take on six 2012 bowl teams in the first eight games of the season, with bowlers dotting the agenda in five of six road games. A puzzling home loss to San Diego State helped snap the Broncos’ skein of four straight 12-win seasons, the only team to accomplish that feat since 1920! In addition, the schedule finds three Friday games and two bye-weeks (make it 3 if they advance to the MWC title game on 12/14). Other than that, it should be no problem for the nation’s winningest team since 1997 (a stellar 168-35) to retain a season-ending spot in the Top 15 for the 16th straight season.

Stat You Will Like: The Broncos are 18-4 SU and 16-6 ATS on Fridays, including 6-0 ATS as single-digit favorites.

PLAY ON: at San Diego State (11/23) - *KEY

COLORADO STATE (*9/6)

Team Theme: “RAM U”

Beware: 2nd-year head coach Jim McElwain’s comprehensive off-season program called “Ram U” was derived from its all-around approach to physical and mental conditioning… and it’s working. The proof is in the pudding as CSU’s 2nd half turnaround last season, despite being gutted with injuries, was remarkable. Behind a rushing attack that improved 70 YPG the final five games of the season, the Rams won three of their final five games. Nine returning starters on offense (plus OG Brandon Hayes, who started 7 games in 2012) and the entire RB corps, along with 8 of the top 9 WR’s, meld with six starters on defense (plus an influx of JUCO linemen) to give them sleeper status in 2013. Make sure you don’t snooze on this team.

Stat You Will Like: The Rams finished 17th in the nation and 2nd in the MWC in red-zone efficiency (21/24 scores) last season.

PLAY ON: at Wyoming (10/19)

NEW MEXICO (5/3)

Team Theme: LET’S STAY PHYSICAL

If you wonder how much a coach means to a program, witness Bob Davie at New Mexico. He pulled the Lobos out of three years of misery and changed the culture and psyche of the team in one season. ”There is only one way to play this game and that’s to be physical. A year ago we were trying to be competitive… now we are thinking about how we can win games. It’s a major, major change,” says Davie. He will be up against it in 2013, though, as 50 first and second-year players (as opposed to 28 third, fourth and fifth year players) comprise the majority of the roster. A pistol offense that improved 188 RYPG last season returns its top three rushers.

Stat You Will Like: The Lobos were the most improved team in scoring margin in 2012 (+25.2 PPG).

PLAY ON: vs. Air Force (11/8)

UTAH STATE (*8/8)

Team Theme: CLIMBING TO NEW HEIGHTS

The Aggies usher in a new coach, Matt Wells, to lead them into a new conference off a record-setting performance in 2012. The question begs: what can they do for an encore? Wells, last year’s offensive coordinator and a former starting QB at Utah State, assumes the reins from Gary Andersen who was lured to Wisconsin after leading USU to its first conference title since 1936. He welcomes a cast of 16 returning starters, 10 of whom won all-WAC honors, including record-setting QB Chuckie Keeton who was 275-of-407 for 3,373 yards, 27 TD’s and 9 INT’s in the air, in addition to picking up 619 yards and 8 TDs on the ground last season. Coming off the school’s second-ever bowl victory, there is no question that the deck is stacked. Let’s just hope the well doesn’t dry up.

Stat You Will Like: The Aggies were the only team in the nation not to allow a 1st-quarter touchdown last season and have not allowed a 1st-quarter TD in the last 16 games.

PLAY ON: vs. BYU (10/4)

WYOMING (*7/7)

Team Theme: BRETT MAVERICK

Meet Brett Smith, the star performer in the cast of Cowboys this campaign. Not only does this star-studded quarterback lead all active MWC QBs in passing efficiency (157.7), he was also the nation’s 5th-ranked signal caller in points responsible for last season at 20.2 PPG. However, the offense is not the concern, the defense is: it’s regressed every year under Dave Christensen and must rely on an infusion of JUCO transfers to change direction. It’s imperative the Boys get out of the gate in strong fashion against losing foes in six of their first seven games as they close out the campaign against bowlers in four of their final five contests. Look for Smith to break out this year.

Stat You Will Like: From College Football News.com: The Cowboys scored 116 points in the 2Q – and 37 points in the 3Q last season.

PLAY ON: at Air Force (9/21)

West Division

FRESNO STATE (*7/8)

Team Theme: BABY, YOU CAN DRIVE MY CARR

Former Texas A&M DC Tim DeRuyter made an impact in his first season on the sidelines in Fresno when his Bulldogs improved their numbers substantially on both sides of the ball last year en route to 9-win, five game improvement. It tied for 6th-best increase among all FBS teams last season. Leading the charge was all-MWC QB Derek Carr, a 5th-year senior who enters the season with a .652 completion percentage to go along with 63 TD’s and only 16 INT’s in his career. His prime target, WR Davante Adams, reeled in 102 passes as a freshman in 2012, while catching TDs in each of his last 8 games of the season. A 13th bowl game in the last 15 years appears in the offing.

Stat You Will Like: FSU ranked dead-last with 9 takeaways in 2011, and 5th with 35 takeaways last season. It was the largest improvement by a FBS program since the turn of the century.

PLAY ON: as a dog vs. Boise State (9/20)

HAWAII (*10/8)

Team Theme: ODIOUS OFFENSE

Little did the Warriors realize when they hired novice native Norm Chow as their head coach last season that the lifelong college assistant offensive guru would direct the worst offense in the FBS. Perhaps it’s what happens when you are forced to play 32 first-time players – the most in the nation. The problem, though, may not be just the youth issues, but Chow himself. Consider: Bill Connelly of SB Nation.com reports his 2008-10 Tennessee offenses ranked 114th, 88th and 90th in his three years with the Vols. Then in 2011 his Utah offense ranked 95th. Hawaii did, however, improve down the stretch, slashing its losing margin from -42.25 PPG the first five games to -22.2 PPG the final seven games of the season. The clothespins are standing by.

Stat You Will Like: The Warriors will take on teams that appeared in bowl games in each of their first five games of the season in 2013.

PLAY ON: vs. Colorado State (10/26) - *KEY if CSU off a loss

NEVADA (*7/5)

Team Theme: RELOADING THE CHAMBER

The Godfather of the Pistol, Chris Ault, has retired for the third time in his illustrious career at Nevada. In doing so, he leaves a legacy as an offensive innovator, so innovative that when he attended the NFL combine he was flocked upon like a rock star by NFL brass looking to pick his mind. Filling his shoes is 38-year old Brian Polian, son of former NFL GM Bill Pollian and never higher than a RB coach. Polian will rely on offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich, OC for the Wolf Pack last season and at Hawaii the previous nine years. He’ll hand the gun to QB Cody Fajardo who passed for 2,780 yards and 20 TDs last season while rushing for 1,121 yards and 12 TDs.

Stat You Will Like: During his three-term tenure with Nevada, the Wolf Pack went 49-65 in the 10 years without Ault.

PLAY ON: at San Diego State (10/4)

SAN DIEGO STATE (*7/9)

Team Theme: TAKING THINGS TO A NEW LEVEL

It’s safe to call San Diego State the Troy State of the west coast. After all, they are both resident red-headed step-children in their respective states and, as a result, they get the 2nd-level players. But 2nd-level is not a bad thing when you reside in the state of California, and the fact that the Aztecs have been to three straight bowl games confirms that notion. Not bad for a team that had been to just 3 bowl games in the previous four decades. Sixteen returning starters, including DB Nat Berhe and LB Jake Fely – who ranked among the top 4 players in the nation in tackles per game in 2012 – look to climb up another rung.

Stat You Will Like: San Diego State’s win over Boise State last year was its first victory over a ranked team since 1996.

PLAY ON: at San Jose State (11/9)

SAN JOSE STATE (*7/6)

Team Theme: DON’T FALE ME NOW

When Mike McIntyre headed to Colorado after leading the Spartans to their highest-ever season-ending ranking (21st in the nation) last year, not only did he plant the seeds for new head coach Ron Caragher – former UCLA assistant and University of San Diego coach (44-22), and Troy Aikman’s backup with the Bruins – he also left him a wealth of experienced talent. From a squad that went from 1-12 in 2010 to 11-2 last season, San Jose State welcomes the 4th highest number of returning starts overall (317) this 2013 season. The keys to this vastly improved racecar are in the hands of QB David Fales, who had 4,193 yards and 33 TDs on 73 percent completions last year. Failure is not an option.

Stat You Will Like: The last time the Spartans enjoyed back-to-back winning seasons was 1991-92.

PLAY AGAINST: at Minnesota (9/21)

UNLV (*9/9)

Team Theme: GIMME FIVE

If you like patterns, this should be an interesting year for the Rebels. The previous coach, Mike Sanford, won two games in each of his first three seasons before capturing five victories in each of his final two years with UNLV. Similarly, Bobby Hauck has delivered two wins in each of his first three seasons with the Rebels. Could a 5-win campaign – or more – be in the offing with a deep and experienced squad in 2013? Logic says yes, considering eighteen returning starters including QB Nick Sherry, RB Tim Cornett and last year’s top two wide receivers are back from the group that lost five games by 8 or less points last year. Should they shore up an Achilles’ heel (a porous rush defense), the prototype for success could be reached in 2013.

Stat You Will Like: Leading WR Devante Davis and RB Tim Cornett, as well as TE Jacobie Russell and receivers coach Cedric Cormier, all hail from Galena Park (TX) North Shore high school.

PLAY AGAINST: at Air Force (11/21)
