Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

-- Virginia basketball coach Tony Bennett gets a contract extension thru 2021, and a $200K+ raise to go with it-- he's done well coaching the Cavaliers.

-- Marshall transfer Kareem Canty must be a classic; he committed to Auburn, had second thoughts and said South Florida, now he's back to Auburn. Awesome.

-- Tampa Bay is horrendous, getting shut out on 88 pitches by Henderson Alvarez 1-0 in Miami. Rays have now lost their last eight games.

-- Tom Brady sold his $40M mansion to Dr Dre. Alrighty then.

-- Mike Trout left in the second inning last night, after missing Saturday/Sunday games with a bad back; not good for the Angels.

-- Cleveland Indians beat Boston 5-3, have now won eight in a row at home.

**********

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but.........
13) Baseball’s amateur draft is this week, the most inexact of all drafts; for instance, a few years ago the Mets took an OF from Wyoming named Brandon Nimmo, whose high school didn’t have a baseball team- he played American Legion ball.

In Wyoming.

Mets passed on Jose Fernandez, which isn’t good- there are lot of examples of stuff like that happening. Smaller market teams have to make less mistakes than the big money teams in this draft to stay competitive.

12) State of Washington voted in a minimum wage hike to $15 an hour, more than double the federal minimum wage. Things must be good in Washington. Thats bad news for businesses like pizza places or McDonald's.

11) San Diego Padre pitchers threw 248 pitches in a hideous 10-3 loss to the Pirates Monday night; that is 27.6 pitches per inning, which is really painful to watch. Nine inning game took 4:04; only thing that made it bearable was Dick Enberg/Mark Grant on TV- they’re a good pair to listen to, even watching a bad game.

10) Lot of upsets in the NCAA baseball tournament; TCU made it thru to the Super Regionals, despite having to play a 22-inning game late Saturday night/Sunday morning. You want to know where pitching injuries occur, lot of them are because college coaches are butchers when it comes to pitchers’ arms. Kid on Cal-Irvine started Monday on two days’ rest, after he threw 107 pitches in his previous outing. Oy.

9) Alabama football coach Nick Saban signed a deal that pays him $6.9M a year; Kirby Smart, who is his defensive coordinator, will make $1.3M a year. Simply wow-- I mean, they're paying freakin' Lane Kiffin $680,000.

8) 42 major league games this year have been 0-0 after five innings, which works out to 4-5 per week. Just thought you’d like to know.

7) Clayton Kershaw’s great uncle is credited with discovering the planet Pluto, at least that’s what the White Sox announcers said during the game Monday night and I believe them. Who could make that up?

6) Speaking of those announcers, Hawk Harrelson/Steve Stone voiced a preference for all baseball players to work on one-year contracts every year, thinking effort would increase with hungrier players. I’m guessing that neither guy felt that way when they were major league players.

5) Tickets for Games 3-4 of the Stanley Cup Final in Manhattan are more expensive right now than Super Bowl tickets were; then again, the game is indoors and it isn’t February. Cheapest ticket for Game 3 is still more than $1,000.

4) San Francisco Dons signed a 3-star recruit in guard Devin Watson, who was recruited by lot of Pac-12 schools; now all they have to do is keep him- Rex Walters lost PG Cody Doolin last year- kid will play his last season of college ball at UNLV this fall. Signing a kid is one thing; keeping them in the program is just as important.

3) Sergio Garcia (59) and Adam Scott (51) have played in the most consecutive golf majors; KJ Choi (48) has the 3rd-longest streak, but it looks like he will miss the US Open, after failing to qualify by a stroke Monday.

2) World Cup soccer teams must be training here before going to Brazil for the tournament; Mets shared their hotel in Philly with the Nigerian soccer team- they’re sharing their hotel in Chicago with the Mexican team.

1) Big week for former Marist basketball coaches; first Jeff Bower landed a gig as the Pistons’ new GM, now Chuck Martin gets an assistant’s job at Indiana. Red Foxes will have their third head coach in three seasons this fall.

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

New York Rangers at Los Angeles Kings (-150, 5)

After upending the defending champion, the Los Angeles Kings vie for their second Stanley Cup title in three years when they host the New York Rangers in Game 1 on Wednesday. The Kings went the distance in each of their previous series, becoming the first team to win three consecutive Game 7s - all on the road - to advance to the Stanley Cup final. Los Angeles ousted Pacific Division rivals San Jose and Anaheim before defenseman Alec Martinez scored 5:47 into overtime to eliminate Chicago in the Western Conference final.

For the Kings to resume their place on the throne, they'll need to solve, well, "The King" Henrik Lundqvist. The Swedish Olympian guided New York to seven-game series victories over Keystone State representatives Philadelphia in Pittsburgh in the first two rounds before bouncing Montreal in six in the Eastern Conference final. Lundqvist has recorded a postseason-best .928 save percentage to go along with a stingy. 2.03 goals-against average - better than Los Angeles counterpart and 2012 Conn Smythe Trophy winner Jonathan Quick (9.06, 2.86).

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBC, CBC, RDS

LINE MOVES: The Kings opened as -150 faves at Pinnacle Sports. The total opened at 5 (-115) and has moved to (-114).

INJURY REPORT: Rangers - G Cam Talbot (Questionable, undisclosed), D John Moore (Out, suspension). Kings - D Robyn Regehr (Out, knee).

ABOUT THE RANGERS: Depth has been the driving force for New York as its looks to win its first Stanley Cup title since ousting Vancouver in seven games in 1994. Martin St. Louis leads the club with 13 points (six goals, seven assists) and hasn't missed a game in the playoffs despite the sudden death of his mother, France. In total, eight different players have recorded double-digit points for the Rangers.

ABOUT THE KINGS: Trade-deadline acquisition Marian Gaborik surpassed his regular-season goal total (11) by scoring a league-best 12 in the playoffs - and he'll look to add to that number when he faces a familiar foe in New York. The 32-year-old Slovak guided the Rangers to the Eastern Conference final in 2012 before being dealt the Columbus the following season. Anze Kopitar has also enjoyed a stellar postseason, collecting a league-best 19 assists and 24 points to garner consideration for the Conn Smythe Trophy as well.

TRENDS:

* Under is 4-0-2 in the last six meetings in Los Angeles.
* Kings are 6-0 in their last six vs. Metropolitan.
* Under is 9-4-2 in Rangers last 15 vs. Western Conference.
* Rangers are 4-1 in their last five road games.

CONSENSUS: Sixty-six percent of wagers on Consensus are on the Kings

Rockies' OF Carlos Gonzalez, doubtful Wednesday

Gonzalez was forced to leave Tuesday's game with left index finger injury and is not expected to return for Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

Hamilton returns to Angels but Trout leaves with ailing back

Angels left fielder Josh Hamilton was in the midst of a scorching hot

start to the 2014 season before an unfortunate decision to slide head first into first

base against the Seattle Mariners on April 8 resulted in his tearing a ligament in his

left thumb, an injury that cost him 48 games.

Hamilton was batting .444/.545/.741 with two home runs and six RBIs over eight games

before landing on the 15-day disabled list on April 9 and subsequently undergoing thumb

surgery. On Tuesday night, he returned to action in the Angels' 7-2 loss and picked up

right where he left off, finishing 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run. In his first at-bat, Hamilton hit a blast to straightaway center field that would have cleared the fence in most parks but was flagged down by Dexter Fowler.

"It felt good, I felt calm, I was seeing the ball, and overall, the at-bats felt good," Hamilton said.

With Hamilton back in the fold, the Angels were hopeful of finally putting their primary lineup on the field and getting the chance to watch that group work in concert. However, after one trip through the batting order, that dream was deferred when center fielder Mike Trout departed with mid-back discomfort after striking out in his first at-bat. Trout had missed the previous two games with lower-back stiffness and leaves the Angels wondering when he will be healthy enough to return unencumbered.

"We'll definitely take a half-step back here and try to figure out what's going on," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.

Line for Game 1 moving towards Kings

The line for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final is on the move when the Los Angeles Kings host the New York Rangers Wednesday at the Staples Center.

The Kings opened as -150 favorites to take Game 1 of the series and have since moved to -153 and then to -156 as of early Wednesday morning.

Los Angeles is favored to win the series at -180, while New York is listed at +157 according to Sportsbook.ag.

Rangers know 'hands are full' vs. powerful Kings

Despite a relatively even workload to this point in the playoff season, the Los Angeles Kings faced a much rockier road than the New York Rangers to reach the Stanley Cup finals.

By getting through the Western Conference gauntlet, the Kings are the favorite heading into the title series that begins Wednesday in Los Angeles.

"I think that perception is out there," Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. "The experts probably favor the L.A. Kings quite a bit. That's not going to change our approach, what we think we need to do."

The Kings played the maximum number of games to get to the finals, beating the San Jose Sharks, Anaheim Ducks and Chicago Blackhawks in decisive Game 7s on the road.

While the Rangers don't have quite as much tread on their tires, they aren't far behind, beating the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins in seven games in the first two rounds before topping the Montreal Canadiens in six games in the Eastern Conference finals.

NOTES: Rangers LW Daniel Carcillo is eligible to play in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals after his 10-game suspension for striking an official was reduced to six games upon appeal. The NHL Players' Association asked the league to review his suspension, which he received for abusing linesman Scott Driscoll, a violation of Rule 40.3, during the first period in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals. The case was heard by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman. ... The Kings are the first team in NHL history to win three Game 7s on the road in one playoff year to advance to the Stanley Cup finals. ... Kings G Jonathan Quick was banged up in practice Tuesday when he was struck in the collarbone with a shot. According to coach Darryl Sutter, Quick will be in the net Wednesday for Game 1. Sutter indicated that he is not concerned about Quick's status, adding, "Jonathan is a tough guy. He's probably the first guy out of the room."
