**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but........

13) College sports is very big business.

Maryland was supposed to pay $52M in exit fees to leave the ACC for the Big 14 conference, but sides negotiated a deal and the final tab appears to be $31,361,788, so that’s a 39.7% discount for the Terrapins. Will be odd to see them playing Midwestern schools; the move hasn’t worked well for West Virginia in either sport, we’ll see how Maryland makes out with it.

12) American League has a 132-109 edge in interleague play this season; this is how home field advantage in the World Series should be decided, not by who wins the All-Star Game.

11) NFL coaches look at the second and (especially) third preseason games as dress rehearsals for the season opener. The first games are tryouts for the bottom of the depth chart; the fourth is a cash grab from season ticket holders- those games are mostly a farce. These next two weeks, the games have a little more meaning.

10) Tyler Johnstone, Oregon’s starting left tackle, tore his ACL and is out for the year, bad news for the Ducks and their fine QB, Marcus Mariota.

9) Indiana’s hoop team lost 109-101 to a team from Ottawa on its exhibition tour of Canada; losing doesn’t matter much, but scoring 101 points and losing is alarming, unless Tom Crean suddenly morphed into Paul Westhead, which is doubtful. Play some defense!!!!

8) USC LB Jacob Ruffin tore his knee up and is done for the year, reducing USC’s “recruited athletes” to 65. Not sure if that means scholarship athletes or what, but Trojans are dangerously thin as they start the Steve Sarkisian era.

7) TV ratings for the PGA Championship Sunday were the highest they’ve been in five years, good news for a CBS announce crew that was shilling heavily for the Tour Sunday, as a Tiger-less FedEx Cup slate lies ahead.

Losing Eldrick Woods would be damaging, but the sport does have a lot of great players, as Sunday showed.

6) Anyone have a clue what the Phillies are doing? They’ve only traded one person (Roberto Hernandez) away, hardly a big star; do they really think this team can contend in 2015, or is the GM just trying to put off his inevitable firing, as the franchise slides into a down period?

Their nucleus is old and their payroll is high; a very bad combination.

5) At the end of the Cowboy-Charger game Friday, the two QBs playing were alums of those two noted football factories, West Texas State and Southern Utah; that’s what training camp is all about, guys getting their chance to impress.

4) Odd situation at the end of the Saints-Rams game Friday; St Louis had the ball and was going to spike the ball to kick a 48-yard FG to win but QB Austin Davis fumbled the snap before he spiked the ball, which makes the spiked pass intentional grounding, which has a 0:10 runoff and a 5-yard penalty.

Since the spike happened with 0:11 left, Rams had to rush to get the now 53-yard FG off and it missed, so the Saints won 27-26. This would’ve been a debacle had it been a regular season game, but then again, Rams would’ve had their regular long snapper in and might not have missed.

3) Lovie Smith has already earned his paycheck for this year; Tampa Bay Bucs are sold out for the season; no blackouts!!! The Schiano era was depressing for Bucs fans; they should be better with Smith in charge.

2) ESPN.com has a way of measuring defensive performance in baseball; according to them, the Mariners’ defense has been 110 runs better this year than last, that’s a full run per game, part of why they’ve improved and are contending for a Wild Card spot.

1) First week of NFL exhibition games, there were 355 penalties called, 95 of which were either defensive holding, illegal contact or pass interference. Someone needs to tell these people that throwing 800 flags on the defense does not equate to better offense, just more points scored; its horrible to watch.

You want more good offensive plays? Stop calling so much offensive holding, give QB’s time to throw; then you’ll have more points scored and some good highlights to show on TV. No one, I repeat no one, pays to watch a referee throw his flag. Not even Ed Hochuli.

NFC East NFL betting preview: Eagles favorites in overrated division

Most folks will tell you that the NFC East has been one of the most overrated, not to mention overhyped, divisions in football for years. While that may be the case, it does promise to be ultra-competitive in 2014.

Philadelphia Eagles (2013: 10-6 SU, 8-8 ATS)

Division odds: +140
Season win total: 9

Why bet the Eagles: Chip Kelly’s offense operated at warp speed a year ago, and it should be even faster in 2014. At least that’s the plan. DeSean Jackson is gone but the Eagles still boast considerable depth at wide receiver, with Jeremy Maclin back and Riley Cooper poised to build on a career year. The addition of Darren Sproles gives Philadelphia even more versatility while LeSean McCoy might just be the biggest gamebreaker in the league.

Why not bet the Eagles: The Eagles essentially stood pat when it comes to offseason moves on the defensive side of the football. They believe they can take a big step forward, but a look at their personnel indicates otherwise. There’s also a lot more pressure on QB Nick Foles following his breakout 2013 campaign. He certainly won’t catch opposing defenses by surprise.

Season win total pick: Under 9

Washington Redskins (2013: 3-13 SU, 5-11 ATS)

Division odds: +350
Season win total: 7.5

Why bet the Redskins: New head coach Jay Gruden should inject some life into the Redskins, who suffered a massive letdown due to injuries last season. A healthy Robert Griffin III obviously makes all the difference in the world, as does the addition of DeSean Jackson to the receiving corps. Don’t forget Pierre Garcon quietly led the league in catches a year ago.

Why not bet the Redskins: The defense. It was bad last season and could be even worse in 2014. The biggest problem lies in the secondary, where the Skins are likely to get torched on a weekly basis. A lot of pressure will be placed on the front seven to pick up the slack, especially in a pass-happy NFC East division. Will this group be completely worn down by the midway point of the season?

Season win total pick: Over 7.5

Dallas Cowboys (2013: 8-8 SU, 9-7 ATS)

Division odds: +350
Season win total: 8

Why bet the Cowboys: The window of opportunity is closing for a number of Cowboys stalwarts and that should be more than enough motivation to draw their best effort in 2014. Dallas more than held its own with an awful defense a year ago. So if it can improve even marginally in that department, it should be able to control its own destiny this season.

Why not bet the Cowboys: Tony Romo is recovering from offseason back surgery but that’s the least of the Cowboys concerns in the injury department. They lost the star of their defense, Sean Lee, to a season-ending injury. That’s not to mention the departures of DeMarcus Ware and Jason Hatcher on that side of the football.

Season win total pick: Over 8

New York Giants (2013: 7-9 SU, 7-9 ATS)

Division odds: +250
Season win total: 8

Why bet the Giants: Changes needed to be made following a disappointing 7-9 campaign and owner John Mara didn’t disappoint, adding no fewer than 20 new players and opening up the wallet to the tune of $100 million. The offense should improve thanks to a new West Coast scheme, while the defense has been shored up, particularly in the secondary. Playing in the NFC East, that point is magnified.

Why not bet the Giants: You never really know whether sweeping changes will pay off, especially in the short term. How will Eli Manning adapt to the new offensive philosophy? Can the offensive line hold up its end of the bargain following a miserable 2013 season? To be honest, there are more questions than answers at this point. That’s not to mention the fact that the Giants schedule is unforgiving, especially early on.

Season win total pick: Under 8

Week 7

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Game of the Day: Blue Bombers at Argonauts
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Toronto Argonauts (Pick, 50)

The Toronto Argonauts could not have imagined they would still hold sole possession of the top spot in the CFL's East Division after enjoying a much-needed bye week. But that's exactly where they sit - despite struggling to a 2-4 start - as they prepare to face the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in a rare Tuesday night affair at the Rogers Centre. The Blue Bombers come in looking for answers after dropping a 23-17 home decision to Saskatchewan on Thursday.

The Argonauts have been the best of a remarkably bad bunch so far, with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Ottawa Renegades and Montreal Alouettes all losing their Week 7 games to remain in a three-way tie for second at 1-5. The Blue Bombers, meanwhile, share the top spot in the West with Calgary and Edmonton but will look to break the deadlock while hoping to improve to 4-0 on the road. Winnipeg opened the season with a 45-21 home victory over Toronto.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, TSN

LINE HISTORY: Bet365 opened this game as a Pick with a total of 50.

INJURY REPORT: Blue Bombers - SB Nick Moore (Questionable, foot), Argonauts - SB Andre Durie (Indefinitely, collarbone), SB Jason Barnes (Indefinitely, knee), SB Chad Owens (Indefinitely, foot).

ABOUT THE BLUE BOMBERS (5-2): Winnipeg's impressive showing masks a significant concern centered around the team's non-existent run game. Nic Grigsby finished with seven yards on 10 carries in the loss to the Roughriders, the latest in a string of unimpressive performances that has first-year coach Mike O'Shea concerned. "It's never one thing," he told the Winnipeg Sun. "That's the issue, is generally a few mistakes on the same play that cost us, that allow us to get caught in the backfield."

ABOUT THE ARGONAUTS (2-4): The Toronto passing game has struggled mightily in 2014, but the blame can hardly be placed on the shoulders of quarterback Ricky Ray. The Argonauts have just two players ranked in the top 20 in receiving yardage through the first seven weeks - and both players are out of the lineup due to injury. Star wideout Chad Owens is still recovering from a mid-foot injury and isn't expected back until early September, while running back Anthony Coombs is out indefinitely with a shoulder ailment that may require surgery.

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* Argonauts are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games overall.
* Under is 6-1 in Argonauts last seven games in Week 8.
* Blue Bombers are 9-19 ATS in their last 28 meetings in Toronto.

CONSENSUS: 51.52 percent of wagers on Consensus are backing the visiting Blue Bombers.

Thunderstorms headed for this ball park

According to DailyBaseballData.com, forecasts are calling for a 70-80 percent possibility of thunderstorms hitting Oriole Park at Camden Yards Tuesday.

The Orioles are set to host the New York Yankees Tuesday as the home team looks to further the gap atop the American League East.

Shane Green is scheduled to get the ball for the Yankees, while the O's are slated to counter with Wei-Yin Chen. The Orioles are currently -141 home favorites.

Orioles' SS J.J. Hardy, questionable Tuesday

Hardy has a sprained left thumb and has missed the last two games. X-rays were negative and he is questionable to return on Tuesday against the Yankees.

CFL

Tuesday, August 12

Spread continues to move in this matchup

Upon opening as a pick at most off shore books, the line in the Tuesday night CFL game between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Toronto Argonauts has been active.

Offshores moved the Argos to -1 shortly after post, then to -1.5, -2 and -2.5 before moving to -3 which is where the number currently stands. Station Casinos in Las Vegas opened the Argos as 3-point favorites earlier Tuesday morning.

Hey Udog--I don't believe in 'Lock' games, but last night's TOR-SEA tilt probably comes as close to a 'lock' as I've seen in yrs. Imagine--Tor plays a 19 inn affair in Toronto against DET--then hops a plane to fly all the way out to Seattle--where they face none other than Felix Hernandez!!! As Armadillo would say--OY!!!!!!

Edwin Encarnacion, Toronto - Mid Aug

Encarnacion is on the 15-day disabled list with a Grade 2 strain in his right quad. He is on a rehab assignment and could rejoin the team for the series opener against the White Sox on Friday.

Under tends to follow this pitcher around

In Baltimore Orioles pitcher Wei-Yin Chen's last six outings, the Under is 5-1. Bettors banking on low totals will hope that trend continues when the 29-year-old gets the ball against the New York Yankees in Maryland Tuesday.

The Yanks counter with Shane Green. The O's are currently -134 faves with a total of eight.

Trend shows Minor mowing down NL West clubs

The Atlanta Braves have had a tough time manufacturing W's lately, but one particular trend is working in their favor for their matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday.

Mike Minor will be on the bump for Atlanta at home. In Minor's last 15 starts against NL West clubs, the Braves are 12-3. Dan Haren gets the nod for L.A.

The Braves are presently -121 faves with an O/U of eight.

Check out this ump trend before placing your bets

Joe West will be behind home plate for Tuesday's meeting between the Texas Rangers and the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field, which is bad news for Rangers backers.

In Texas' last seven games with West calling balls and strikes, the Rangers are a pitiful 0-7. Tampa is currently -132 home faves with the total set at nine.

Tigers happy to see this ump behind home plate

The Detroit Tigers have struggeld to the point where they are no longer in first place in the American League Central and are hoping that having umpire Alfonso Marquez behind home plate will change their fortunes.

The Tigers are 14-3 in their last 17 games when Marquez is calling balls and strikes and he will be doing just that when Detroit visits the Pittsburgh Pirates Tuesday. The Pirates are currently -120 home favorites.

Top Under umpire working the plate Tuesday

With an Over/Under record of 4-17 when he's been tasked with calling balls and strikes, you'd be hard pressed to find an umpire that has catered to Under bettors more efficiently than Kerwin Danley.

Danley is scheduled to work home plate at Turner Field as the Atlanta Braves host the Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday evening. Oddsmakers have tabbed the matchup with a total of eight.

Only Hal Gibson III (9-17 O/U) and Brian O'Nora (5-17 O/U) have as many games resulting in Unders and only Tony Randazzo (1-11 O/U) has a higher winning percentage for Under bettors among umpires with at least 10 games behind the plate.

According to our umpire stats database, there is an average of 5.77 runs scored per game when Danley is working the plate. That's the lowest per game total of any umpire with at least 10 games calling pitches.
