Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

-- Buffalo Bills have already opened training camp; their opener is Sept 7.

-- NFL Draft will be in either LA or Chicago next year; it hasd been held in New York City every year since 1965.

-- Dan Uggla got released by Atlanta; Giants are rumored to be interested.

-- CC Sabathia had his knee scoped, is officially done for the season.

-- Where is there an ad for U of Toledo on the wall of the Detroit Tigers' bullpen? Toledo and Detroit are in different states.

**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Random stuff on a summer Saturday

13) Angels acquired closer Huston Street from San Diego in a six-player trade late Friday; the other five players are all minor leaguers. This strengthens Angels' biggest weakeness, the bullpen.

12) John McDonald singled at 12:22am here in Las Vegas to give the Halos a 3-2 win in 16 innings over Seattle.

11) Anytime a team dumps salary like this, it is depressing; Padres went out and lost 5-4 to the Mets, giving up a run in top of 9th, the inning Street would normally pitch in a tie game at home. Bud Black has his hands full now.

10) Oakland stayed 1.5 games up in the AL West, as Josh Donaldson homered in the bottom of the 9th inning, beating Baltimore 5-4.

9) You read Pat Riley's quote up above about Udonis Haslem and that is the ultimate compliment Riley can give a player. Total praise.

8) UNLV alum Anthony Bennett lost 20 pounds, has been playing way better in summer league, where 2nd-year players have a big edge over rookies anyway. While I'm on the subject, teams like the Cavs, Knicks, Warriors' summer teams are better off playing under their new head coach-- there's something about the boss running things, as opposed to an assistant coach. Just human nature.

7) Johnny Manziel already has a Nissan commercial that runs during Indian games on TV in Cleveland; he's hitting a truck on a square-in pattern.

6) Twice this week, I've seen a runner hit by a batted ball; both lefty hitters, with runner going to second. You can go a whole year without seeing it once.

5) If you were an NBA GM, would you trade Andrew Wiggins for Kevin Love? Its an itneresting question that will determine who gets fired and who keeps his job in both Cleveland and Minnesota.

4) I don't think Miami Heat will be that bad next year; they added couple of good players (Granger/McRoberts) and sub Deng for Lebron James, which obviously is a big loss, but Deng is pretty good. They'll get more out of Chris Bosh by using him closer to the basket- if they stay healthy, they'll still be pretty good.

3) Stadium issue in Oakland is a debacle; newest rumor is the Raiders sharing the 49ers' new stadium for a while, while a new one is built. Not sure whats going to happen out there, but the sides can't agree on what day it is.

2) Rough day for the Astros, who didn't sign their #1 pick and taking grief from the player's agent and MLB because of it. Astros get the #2 pick next year, but in their last three drafts, their #1 picks haven't fared too well and that how you improve.

1) Next spring training, expect to see infielders doing drills on keeping the tag on runners throughout the entire slide. Robinson Cano doubled to lead off an inning last night, but came off the bag for a split second; because the 2B had the glove on him the whole time, he was called out. Big play in a tight game.

Ross highlights Padres woes, hot under play

Tyson Ross will go to the mound for the San Diego Padres with a dubious record. In Ross' last eight starts the Padres are 1-7.

In all of this, Ross has only given up two runs per game on average and twice has held the opposing team scoreless. In those starts however, the Padres offense has managed a mere eight runs of production.

Bettors have cashed in for eight straight unders in those starts.

Reds have absurd record with this pitcher starting

The Cincinnati Reds will send Alfredo Simon to the mound Saturday, which is nothing but good signs for the team. The Reds are 15-3 this season in games Simon starts.

Simon has allowed two or fewer runs in 12 of his 16 starts this and is sporting a stellar 2.70 ERA.

Nationals pitcher flourishing at home

Gio Gonzalez has been lights-out this season in the friendly confines of Nationals Park. The Washington Nationals and Gonzalez are 5-1 in his six home starts this season.

Gonzalez has only given up an average of four hits and only two runs per game at home this season.

Game of the Day: Alouettes at Lions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Montreal Alouettes at BC Lions (-6.5, 49)

The BC Lions return home to host the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday. The Lions are hoping to turn things around after dropping their home-opening contest, while Montreal is looking for its first road victory. BC defeated the Saskatchewan Roughriders to avoid starting the season 0-3 and will need to string more victories together to make up ground in the West Division.

Troy Smith is getting more comfortable as the Alouettes’ starting quarterback with each game, throwing for over 300 yards and completing three touchdowns against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last week. Veteran pivot Kevin Glenn has yet to impress for the Lions, but completed his last start without throwing an interception after tossing six in the opening two contests. No team with three games played has fewer points than BC (55), which is facing a Montreal defence with 10 sacks.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, TSN

LINE HISTORY: The opening line saw the Lions -5.5 before quickly being bet up to -6. It stayed a -6 for 24 hours before again jumping another half-point to -6.5.

INJURY REPORT: Alouettes: N/A Lions: QB Travis Lulay (Shoulder/Questionable)

ABOUT THE ALOUETTES (1-2): Montreal added backup quarterback Jonathan Crompton, who was released by the Edmonton Eskimos earlier in the season. The Alouettes also secured the services of fullback Dahrran Diedrick and linebacker Kyler Elsworth. John Bowman leads the defence with four sacks. Running back Brandon Whitaker has 203 rushing yards, helping relieve pressure on Smith.

ABOUT THE LIONS (1-2): Running back Andrew Harris took home Offensive and Canadian Player of the Week honours after recording 232 total combined yards in Week 3. Linebacker Solomon Elimimian leads the league with 19 tackles. Stefan Logan has a league-leading 398 return yards.

TRENDS:

*Under is 6-1 in Alouettes last 7 games overall.
*Under is 4-1 in Lions last 5 home games.
*Alouettes are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 meetings in BC.

CONSENSUS: 55 percent of wagers are on the Lions -6.

Tigers and Indians are on impressive streak

The Detroit tigers host the Cleveland Indians in the second game of their weekend series Saturday and teams are on an impressive totals streak.

The AL Central rivals have gone over the run total in eight straight meetings. The total for today's contest is currently at 8.5 runs.

These teams have unexpectedly played to the under

When you think of under plays you don't traditionally think of the Texas Rangers and the Toronto Blue Jays, but maybe you should.

The under is 10-1 in the last 11 meetings between the two teams, including the last eight games in a row. The total for the Saturday afternoon's game is currently set at 9.0.

Must read weather update for Saturday's action

With Major League Baseball back in full swing we have the forecast you should take a look at before placing your wagers.

In Detroit, where the Tigers host the Cleveland Indians, there is a chance of thunderstorms and a 66 percent chance of rain. There will also be a 10 mile per hour wind blowing in from left field.

The Pittsburgh Pirates host the Colorado Rockies with an 88 percent chance of rain and a chance of thunderstorms in the forecast.

The Braves host the Philadelphia Phillies in Atlanta, where there is a 76 percent chance of rain and a chance of thunderstorms. There will also be a 10 mile per hour wind blowing out to left field.

Sun Belt college football betting preview: Little league holds big value

The Sun Belt looks like a four-team race for the title, but that means there’s big betting value outside of those contenders in college football’s tiniest conference.

UL Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns (2013: 9-4 SU, 5-8 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +110
Season win total: 9

Why bet the Ragin’ Cajuns: UL Lafayette is the best team on paper in the Sun Belt coming into the 2014 season. The Ragin’ Cajuns return 17 starters, including quarterback Terrance Broadway, who put up big numbers last season. The offense will be potent once again after averaging 33.8 points per game in 2013. Their defense improved last season and they will move forward once again.

Why not bet the Ragin’ Cajuns: Despite returning 17 starters, UL Lafayette's best playmaker - Darryl Surgent - graduated. Surgent was a solid receiver and an exceptional return man, giving the Ragin’ Cajuns consistent good field position. Losing one skill guy shouldn’t be an issue, but Surgent was a difference maker and ULL will miss his presence.

Season win total pick: Over 9

South Alabama Jaguars (2013: 6-6 SU, 8-4 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +320
Season win total: 8

Why bet the Jaguars: South Alabama was much better than its 6-6 record last year. The Jaguars were a competitive bunch with five of their six losses coming by seven points or less. With 15 returning starters, South Alabama should have good fortune and win the close games. The Jaguars improved on both sides of the ball in 2013, so this team is on the upswing.

Why not bet the Jaguars: South Alabama’s schedule is brutal down the stretch as three of its last five games are on the road. Trips to Louisiana and Arkansas State in conference play, and a game at South Carolina will be difficult, especially if the Jaguars are fatigued or beset with injuries.

Season win total pick: Over 8

UL Monroe Warhawks (2013: 6-6 SU, 5-7 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +450
Season win total: 7

Why bet the Warhawks: UL Monroe plays the quirky 3-3-5 defensive scheme and with nine starters back, the stop unit will be much improved. The Warhawks didn’t get a bowl invite last season despite winning six games, so they will play with a chip on their shoulder, especially since they return 15 starters in 2014.

Why not bet the Warhawks: The loss of quarterback Kolton Browning to graduation leaves UL Monroe with a big hole to fill in 2014. The schedule doesn’t help either as the Warhawks play three road games at SEC opponents and close the season by playing four of their last five games on the road.

Season win total pick: Under 7

Arkansas State Red Wolves (2013: 8-5 SU, 6-7 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +450
Season win total: 7

Why bet the Red Wolves: Arkansas State has been a consistent team over the last three seasons. It is 28-11 over its last 39 games, so ASU has developed a winning tradition in Jonesboro. The Red Wolves will have a strong defense that should keep them competitive.

Why not bet the Red Wolves: The Red Wolves return just four starters on offense and they will be playing for their fifth new coach in five years. Blake Anderson moves from offensive coordinator to head coach - a position he’s never held before. At some point, the coaching turnover has to catch up to Arkansas State and 2014 might be the year.

Season win total pick: Under 7

Troy Trojans (2013: 6-6 SU, 6-6 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +1,200
Season win total: 6

Why bet the Trojans: Troy’s offense projects to be explosive this season and as long as it gets consistent play from the quarterback position, the Trojans will be competitive. Their conference schedule is very kind and Troy should be able to take advantage of that, making its a sleeper in the Sun Belt.

Why not bet the Trojans: The Trojans defense has a lot to prove this year after four straight seasons of allowing more than 30 points per game. Troy’s team success hinges on the stop unit. Replacing QB Corey Robinson is also a major hurdle to overcome. He graduated as the Sun Belt’s all-time career leading passer.

Season win total pick: Over 6

Texas State Bobcats (2013: 6-6 SU, 5-7 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +1,500
Season win total: 6

Why bet the Bobcats: The Bobcats offense has a very strong rushing attack that can eat clock while paying ball control. They return eight starters, including a ton of experience along the offensive line. Sophomore QB Tyler Jones got plenty of experience last season and natural improvement should occur in his second season.

Why not bet the Bobcats: The Texas State defense returns only four starters and the coaching situation has set it back. Coordinator John Thompson has coached at big-name schools, but he was hired just one week before spring practice. He will implement a 4-2-5 scheme but with inexperienced players, the Bobcats will struggle to stop opponents in 2014.

Season win total pick: Under 6

Georgia Southern Eagles (2013: 7-4 SU, 1-0 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +5,500
Season win total: 5

Why bet the Eagles: Georgia Southern has finished the last four years with a winning record. The Eagles won at Florida last season and with 15 returning starters, their transition from FCS to FBS may be a bit easier than normal. Their talent fits in well with Sun Belt opponents.

Why not bet the Eagles: There’s a lot of change going on with Georgia Southern in 2014. Willie Fritz is the new head coach and he’s looking to open up the Eagles’ run-based offense. Depth is also an issue for Georgia Southern as it only has 63 scholarship players (FCS rules) compared to the 85 allowed for FBS teams. The Eagles also play seven of their 12 games on the road this season.

Season win total pick: Under 5

Idaho Vandals (2013: 1-11 SU, 3-9 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +10,000
Season win total: 3

Why bet the Vandals: Idaho is taking a step down in class by joining the Sun Belt. The Vandals can only improve off their one-win season and the return of 17 starters is definitely a plus. The lesser competition will give Idaho a major boost and it will be a much improved team in 2014.

Why not bet the Vandals: The Vandals finished dead last in the FBS in scoring defense last season, giving up 46.8 points per game. Things don’t get easier for Idaho as it is now in a conference known for explosive offenses. The Vandals’ offense also needs to step way up as they averaged just 18.2 points per game last year and only 15.8 ppg in 2012.

Season win total pick: Over 3

New Mexico State Aggies (2013: 2-10 SU, 4-7 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +10,000
Season win total: 3

Why bet the Aggies: New Mexico State will benefit from playing in the Sun Belt conference. Its schedule was brutal in head coach Doug Martin’s first season. But this year, the Aggies have manageable games that are winnable. The offense will surprise teams and the ability to score points will make New Mexico State better in 2014.

Why not bet the Aggies: Statistically, New Mexico State had the worst defense in the country in 2013. It allowed 44.6 points and 550 yards per game. It returns just five starters to that unit and must learn the new schemes under new defensive coordinator Larry Coyer.

Season win total pick: Over 3

Appalachian State Mountaineers (2013: 4-8 SU, 1-0 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +20,000
Season win total: 3

Why bet the Mountaineers: Appalachian State suffered its first losing season since 1993 after going just 4-8 in 2013. Winning programs tend to bounce back strong off a subpar season, so the Mountaineers will be hungry coming into 2014. With 15 returning starters, including nine on offense, Appalachian State will improve this season.

Why not bet the Mountaineers: The team is moving up from FCS to FBS and it is a young and inexperienced team. Head coach Scott Satterfield is in just his second season and he has little experience as well. Facing better competition every week will prove to be too much for the Mountaineers in their first season in FBS.

Season win total pick: Under 3

Georgia State Panthers (2013: 0-12 SU, 8-4 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +25,000
Season win total: 2

Why bet the Panthers: After going 0-12 in 2013, there’s nowhere to go but up for Georgia State. Despite going winless, the Panthers lost five games by 10 points or less so they were somewhat competitive and it showed in their ATS record.

Why not bet the Panthers: Georgia State hopes its second year in FBS play will be better. But with only nine returning starters, expectations are extremely low. The Panthers have a weak offense and a terrible defense and anything more than two wins would be considered a successful season in Atlanta.

Season win total pick: Under 2
