Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

-- If you like baseball, March is your month to watch MLB Network- they have 2-3 games on most every day, some on tape delay.

-- St Louis Cardinals have already sold 2.6M tickets for this season.

-- Cincinnati Reds aren't doing so well selling season tickets, so the owner did what rich people do- he blamed someone else (in this case, the media).

-- Arizona State PG Jahii Carson is heading to the NBA after this season, even though he hasn't had that good a year. Curious decision.

-- Towson State is the #2 seed in CAA tourney; two years ago, they were 1-31, albeit in a much tougher CAA. Pat Skerry has done a terrific job.

-- Yup, the Olympics sure promote world peace. Took Russians less than a week to start trouble over there. What a farce. How did Sarajevo make out after it hosted the '84 Olympics? Not very well.

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

13) They had an outdoor NHL game at Soldier Field Saturday night and it snowed, which is good; they tried to have one in Vancouver Sunday but it rained, which is bad. Vancouver has a retractable dome, so they closed it and played the outdoor game indoors, in front of 50,000 fans who paid to watch a game played outdoors, in the elememts. Oh well......

12) Eldrick Woods withdrew from the Honda Classic after the 13th hole Sunday, citing back pain as a reason. It is the 7th time Woods has withdrawn from a tournament, the fourth time in last five years.

11) Interesting baseball stat: Giants' 3B Pablo Sandoval swung at 45.5% of the pitches he saw last year that were out of the strike zone. Amazing that he swung at almost half the bad pitches he saw.

10) Giancarlo Stanton saw a strike on only 38.2% of pitches he saw LY, due to Miami being so terrible they don't have any other solid hitters in their lineup- he swung at 30.5% of those bad pitches, down from 37.1% he swung at the year before. Good thing walks count in my fantasy league.

Those stats are from Fangraphs.com, by the way.

9) Ohio State started this season 15-0, averaging 75.7 ppg; since then, they are 7-8, averaging 64.4 ppg. They look like a tired team.

8) Steve Alford is in his 23rd year as a coach already? Yikes.

7) Tulane's 16-14/8-7 mark doesn't look like much, but Ed Conroy had done a good job with the Green Wave, who were decimated by transfers after the school failed to get into the Big East.

Conroy also won at Citadel, going 36-29 his last two years there, which is almost impossible to do; the next SEC job that opens could be his.

6) Joakim Noah leads the Bulls in assists; he could be the first center to lead his team in assists since David Robinson 20 years ago.

5) Bruins beat the Rangers 6-3 in New York last night; interesting that the two head coaches, Claude Julien and Alain Vigneault, were once teammates in the early 80's with the minor league Salt Lake Golden Eagles. Good coaches come from all different kinds of backgrounds, not just ex-star players.

4) Oregon State basketball coach Craig Robinson is 38-68 in conference tilts in his six years with the Beavers; his predecessor, Jay John, got shown the door after going 28-80 in league games over six years.

Robinson is 7-9 in Pac-12 this year but has a veteran team that should be better; fact of the matter is, he is the President's brother-in-law and won't be fired, but you could make the case that he deserves to be.

3) Jake Peavy got scratched from his Monday start after he cut a finger on his left hand in an accident with a fishing knife. Andrew Cashner did the same thing couple years ago, only the injury turned out to be worse. Luckily for Peavy, he hurt his non-pitching hand.

2) NBA has to stop showing the Knicks on national TV; they're not a good adveertisement for their product.

\1) March Madness starts tonight, with two games in the Patriot League tournament. That makes two full weeks of conference tournament games.

American League East preview: Yanks look build off strong offseason

The AL East is always a deep and talented division.

The defending World Series champions are Boston, the free agency champions are New York, and a potential sleeper team is Tampa Bay. The Orioles have recently become a playoff threat and the Blue Jays were actually the favorite to win this division just one year ago.

Baltimore Orioles (2013: 85-77, +37 units, 75-78-9 over/under)

Division odds: 15/1
Season win total: 81.5

Why bet the Orioles: This is a deep lineup if Nick Markakis can stay healthy. Manny Machado, Chris Davis and Adam Jones form a nice 2-3-4 order in the lineup. Defensively they can rely on JJ Hardy and his gold glove and Matt Wieters is the best defensive catcher in baseball. The rotation got a boost when they signed Ubaldo Jimenez. They also have their usual arms in the bullpen which provide for good mix and match situations late in games.

Why not bet the Orioles: Their starting pitching rotation is full of question marks. Miguel Gonzalez and Bud Norris both posted ERAs over 4.00 in the second half of the season, while the fifth starter spot is undecided. While the bullpen has good arms, it doesn't have Jim Johnson - who was traded to Oakland -, so Tommy Hunter may need to step up. The bench is lacking as well with Jemile Weeks and Henry Urrutia the only options to be counted on.

Season win total pick: Under 81.5

Boston Red Sox (2013: 97-65, +1,864 units, 74-84-1 over/under)

Division odds: 7/4
Season win total: 88

Why bet the Red Sox: Last year's defending World Series champions, returns their offensive lineup almost completely intact, with a slight upgrade at catcher with AJ Pierzynski. Jackie Bradley Jr. will be an improvement from last year although he won't be Jacoby Ellsbury. The rotation is good with Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz leading the way. Koji Uehera was a god-send out of the bullpen last season, posting incredible numbers.

Why not bet the Red Sox: A lot broke right for Boston last year. They will miss Ellsbury at the top of the lineup as well and Xander Bogaerts will try to hold down the shortstop position. The back end of the rotation is questionable as Ryan Dempster's departure raises issues. The team caught some breaks last year with their longest losing streak being just three games. A lot of older players on this team might now feel fat and happy after winning a title last season.

Season win total pick: Under 88

New York Yankees (2013: 85-77, +454 units, 67-85-10 over/under)

Division odds: 12/5
Season win total: 87

Why bet the Yankees: As usual, they had a strong off-season with the additions of Carlos Beltran, Jacoby Ellsbury and Brian McCann. They also had addition by subtraction with the suspension of A-Rod. Derek Jeter's pending retirement could be a motivating factor for the Yanks. Kelly Johnson was also a nice addition as he can play several positions. CC Sabathia, Hiroki Kuroda and Masahiro Tanaka will provide a nice 1-2-3 order in the rotation. If Michael Pineda can get healthy, he'll be a productive piece for them as well. David Robertson isn't Mariano Rivera, but he is a solid closer.

Why not bet the Yankees: The rest of the bullpen is suspect outside of Robertson. Ass for the starting rotation, Kuroda slowed down during the end of the season and Sabathia is also coming off a rough season in which he allowed the most earned runs in the league last year. This is an aging team, so injuries and extended stays on the disabled list is always a concern.

Season win total pick: Over 87

Tampa Bay Rays (2013: 92-71, +71 units, 76-78-9 over/under)

Division odds: 7/4
Season win total: 88

Why bet the Rays: The Rays have won 90 or more games in each of the past four seasons and could do so again with magnificent starting pitching. David Price, Alex Cobb, Matt Moore, Chris Archer and Jeremy Hellickson all back for the the deepest rotation in baseball. Evan Longoria is back as well to hold down the hot corner and stabilize the lineup. Wil Myers was the first player to lead AL rookies in RBI with less than 90 games played since the late 1940's.

Why not bet the Rays: The back end of the bullpen is a problem again. They signed Heath Bell and Juan Carlos Oviedo who have closing experience, but aren't the answer at that position. Certain parts of the offensive lineup - which struggled to score at times last season - is weak and so is the bench. This lineup does not steal bases and often has a hard time manufacturing runs.

Season win total pick: Over 88

Toronto Blue Jays (2013: 74-88, -1,080 units, 79-80-3 over/under)

Division odds: 15/1
Season win total: 79.5

Why bet the Jays: Toronto was the favorite to win the East last year and although they underachieved, they still have a solid nucleus of Jose Reyes, Melky Cabrera and Jose Bautista. If Edwin Encarnacion, Brett Lawrie and Adam Lind can live up to their potential, then this offensive lineup will be fierce. Mark Buehrle is the picture of consistency with at least 10 wins and 200 innings for 13 straight seasons. Casey Janssen is an underrated closer and recorded a solid 2.56 ERA and 0.99 WHIP last year.

Why not bet the Jays: Last year did happen and the best team money could buy did not win ballgames. Encarnacion, Lawrie, Lind and Colby Rasmus are all inconsistent. The back-end of the rotation is up in the air with Esmil Rogers and J.A. Happ, the front-runners to nap the last two starting spots. Brandon Morrow has injury issues and he will need to stay healthy in order to solidify the third spot in the pitching rotation.

Season win total pick: Over 79.5

Game of the Day: Canadiens at Kings
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Montreal Canadiens at Los Angeles Kings (N/A)

The Montreal Canadiens look to extend their point streak to seven contests as they begin a four-game road trip against the Los Angeles Kings on Monday. Montreal improved to 5-0-1 in its last six games with a 4-3 overtime triumph over visiting Toronto on Saturday. Max Pacioretty completed his eighth multi-goal performance of the season - and second against the Maple Leafs - by netting his second of the night during a power play at 3:28 of the extra session.

Los Angeles seeks its fifth consecutive victory after skating to a 3-1 home triumph over Carolina on Saturday. Defenseman Alec Martinez snapped a tie with a power-play goal midway through the third period as the Kings improved to 3-0-0 since returning from the Olympic break. Los Angeles routed the Canadiens in Montreal on Dec. 10 as Martinez, Tyler Toffoli and Anze Kopitar each recorded a goal and an assist while Martin Jones made 31 saves in a 6-0 victory.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, TSN, RDS (Montreal), FSN West (Los Angeles)

LINE HISTORY: The odds for the game are currently off the board.

POWER RANKINGS: Canadiens (-158) / Kings (-153)

INJURY REPORT: Montreal - Michael Bournival (Ques - Concussion), Carey Price (Ques. Lowe body), Ryan White (Ques. Illness).

ABOUT THE CANADIENS (34-21-7): Montreal hopes to have Carey Price back from a lower-body injury he aggravated while leading Canada to the gold medal at the Sochi Winter Games. Peter Budaj has gone 2-0-1 in Price's absence, making three straight starts for the first time since April 4-7, 2012. Reigning Norris Trophy winner P.K. Subban scored a goal and set up another Saturday, increasing his career-best totals to 32 assists and 41 points.

ABOUT THE KINGS (34-22-6): Mike Richards ended his 12-game goal-scoring drought Saturday with just his second tally since Nov. 25 - a span of 37 contests. The veteran center needs three goals to surpass his career-low total of 10 from 2006-07 while with Philadelphia. Jonathan Quick has faced 25 shots in each of his last three outings, allowing a total of two goals while also posting his fourth shutout of the season.

TRENDS:

* Canadiens are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Los Angeles.
* Canadiens are 7-1 in the last 8 meetings.
* Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Los Angeles.

Miller makes 23 saves, wins Blues debut

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Ryan Miller era for St. Louis got off to an inauspicious beginning.

However, when the Blues finally broke an eight-plus-period scoring drought, they kept on scoring to make his debut a winning one.

St. Louis trailed 2-0 after two periods before rallying for a 4-2 win over the Phoenix Coyotes on Sunday.

Blues center Patrik Berglund scored twice, and left wing Magnus Paajarvi and defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk also scored third-period goals.

St. Louis (40-14-6) posted its first victory since the Olympic break after losing twice.

Blue Jackets getting good at stringing together wins

The Columbus Blue Jackets are attempting to claw their way into playoff position in an extremely tight Eastern Conference race. They are within striking distance now because of their recent consistency.

The Blue Jackets are 9-2 in their last 11 games following a win and they are coming off a decisive victory over Florida.

The Blue Jackets will travel to Toronto as 1 +115 road dog Monday.

Road team trending in Minnesota/Denver meetings

When the Minnesota Timberwolves visit the Denver Nuggets they will be looking to continue a solid trend for bettors. In the Timberwolves and Nuggets last 26 meetings the road team is 20-5-1 against the spreads.

Nuggets bettors should also be weary as Denver is currently mired in a 2-10 ATS stretch that began on Feb. 5.

Arron Afflalo, Orlando - Ques Wed

Affalo suffered an ankle injury February 21st against the Knicks and has not played since. He is questionable to return Wednesday against the Rockets.

Parker returns, leads Spurs past Mavs

SAN ANTONIO - Guard Tony Parker lobbied to return to the San Antonio Spurs' lineup on Friday against Charlotte. His coach, Gregg Popovich, elected to hold Parker out one more game.

Popovich's decision worked out well for the Spurs. They beat Charlotte without Parker. Then Parker, back after missing six games, scored 22 points and handed out seven assists in 32 minutes as the Spurs defeated the Dallas Mavericks 112-106 Sunday night.

San Antonio (43-16) won for the sixth time in seven games. Dallas (36-25) has lost eight straight games to the Spurs.

Magic hand Sixers their 14th consecutive loss

ORLANDO, Fla. -- When opportunity knocked Sunday night, third-year forward Tobias Harris was more than happy to answer the door.

With veteran starting guards Arron Afflalo and Jameer Nelson sidelined due to injuries, Harris attacked from multiple angles, scoring a career-high 31 points to lead the Orlando Magic to a 92-81 victory over the hapless Philadelphia 76ers.

Philadelphia lost its 14th consecutive game.

Bulls on-fire ATS in the Eastern Conference

The Chicago Bulls have been stellar against the Eastern Conference. The Bulls are 8-1 against the spread in their last nine against Eastern Conference opponents, with the lone ATS loss coming to the Miami Heat.

The Bulls will look to continue their ATS dominance against the East when they travel to Brooklyn as Monday.

Deron Williams, Brooklyn Nets - Prob Mon

Brooklyn Nets PG Deron Williams is nursing a nagging wrist injury but is expected to play Monday against the Bulls.

Bobcats request waivers on G Gordon

The Charlotte Bobcats requested waivers on guard Ben Gordon on Sunday.

Gordon is averaging 5.2 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 14.7 minutes over 19 games this season for Charlotte.

"With the recent acquisition of additional backcourt depth to our roster, we believe this is in the best interests of both parties," general manager Rod Higgins said in a statement. "We want to thank Ben for his contributions over the past two seasons and wish him the best as he moves on in his career."

The Bobcats acquired Gordon from the Detroit Pistons along with a future first-round draft pick in June 2012 for forward Corey Maggette. Gordon averaged 10.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 19.6 minutes over 94 games in two seasons with the Bobcats.

Charlotte's roster is at 14 players.

Rockies scrambling for starter with Chacin out

The Colorado Rockies began spring training with four starters set in their rotation and several pitchers competing for the fifth spot.

But the shoulder injury to right-hander Jhoulys Chacin has created an additional opening in the rotation at the outset of the season.

Chacin has a strain and inflammation in his right shoulder, but an MRI last Monday revealed no structural damage. He began using resistance bands on Friday, the first step toward light throwing. Chacin had not thrown a bullpen session before being shut down, and it is uncertain when he will be ready to do so.

Hence, Chacin, a candidate to pitch on Opening Day at the Miami Marlins on March 31 along with left-hander Jorge De La Rosa, will miss his first regular season start and likely more as he builds up arm strength. Barring a setback, mid-April seems a more realistic time for Chacin to launch his 2014 season.

Dodgers OF Kemp cleared to start running

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp's recovery from October ankle surgery moved to another phase this weekend as he was cleared to increase his on-field activities.

Kemp has been limited to running on a treadmill, taking batting practice and fielding ground balls in the outfield through the first three weeks of spring training. But the latest MRI and examination of his left ankle showed sufficient healing for him to increase that activity and begin doing some running on the field.

No timetable for Greinke's return

There is no timetable for when Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Zack Greinke will return from a strained right calf, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday.

Greinke sustained the injury Thursday. He made just four pitches against two batters in his spring-training debut before exiting with the injury. He played catch and walked without limping Friday.

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Sunday his status has not changed.

Greinke caused somewhat of a stir last week when he said he had no interest in traveling to Australia for the Dodgers' season-opening, two-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

But the Dodgers' No. 2 starter backtracked on Thursday, saying he would like to make a start in Sydney. He is likely to pitch in Australia if he is healthy but the injury clouds those plans.

Marlins' Fernandez starting Opening Day

Miami Marlins manager Mike Redmond named right-hander Jose Fernandez the Opening Day starter, making him the youngest pitcher to start a team's first game of the season in seven years.

Fernandez is the reigning National League Rookie of the Year who finished third in the Cy Young Award voting last season.

Fernandez, who will be 21 years and 274 days old when the Marlins open the season March 31 against the Colorado Rockies, will be the youngest Opening Day starter since the Seattle Mariners' Felix Hernandez in 2007. Hernandez was 20 years and 359 days old.

Previously, the youngest Opening Day starter in Marlins history was Josh Beckett, who was 22 years and 320 days old in 2003.

Fernandez went 12-6 with a 2.19 ERA with 187 strikeouts in 172 2/3 innings last season.
