Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

-- Giants 45, Redskins 14-- Please shut up about the Giants' new offense.

-- Royals, Mariners won; Oakland lost; not a good night for the A's, whose hitters look like they're using wiffle ball bats.

-- Giants clinched a playoff spot when Milwaukee lost to the Reds.

-- Oklahoma State 45, Texas Tech 35-- Firing the defensive coordinator didn't do much to help Tech's defense.

-- UCLA 62, Arizona State 27-- Losing senior QB Kelly crippled ASU's season.

-- I must admit, I don't understand why the Ryder Cup is such a big deal. Do the people in Europe dislike us that much?


**********

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Things I'm looking for this weekend.....

13) Its last weekend of baseball season; the A’s have stumbled down the stretch, thank the lord Seattle has played worse. By Sunday night we should know the Wild Card matchups and how this year’s playoffs will line up. Looks like Pirates-Giants in NL Wild Card; Mariners are still fighting to make it in the AL.

12) Dolphins-Raiders are in London, as somehow Miami has a QB controversy, with coach Philbin refusing to endorse Ryan Tannehill as the long-term starting QB. Teams that play in England have their bye week right after, so Matt Moore could be getting the mod in Week 6, if he Dolphins struggle across the pond.

11) Ticket sales are lagging for Minnesota-Michigan in Ann Arbor, so much so that earlier this week, they were giving you two game tickets if you bought any two Coke items, including 20-ounce sodas. That’s two game tickets for $3.

They stopped it when national media got wind of it, but nothing gets a coach fired than rapidly declining attendance figures, which are attached to winning less.

10) 49ers have been outscored 52-3 in second half in their first three games, now they host the Eagles, who are 3-0 despite training all three games by 10+ points, first team ever to do that. If the 49ers get tired of Jim Harbaugh, the teams listed in notes 11-12 would probably love to take him off the Niners’ hands.

9) Earlier this month, Colorado played at UMass; this week, Colorado State visits Boston College. Why? Long road trips are becoming more common in college football. Has to be pretty expensive. Steve Addazio is doing a solid job rebuilding at BC, by the way.

8) Ryan Fitzpatrick was the Bills’ starting QB for parts of four seasons, now his Houston Texans host the Bills this week, with both teams coming off their first loss this season. Winner of this game will be excited to be 3-1.

7) Steve Spurrier was so annoyed with his kick coverage team last week, he said he’s coaching special teams this week for South Carolina; interesting game with Missouri here. Gamecocks’ defense hasn’t been very good so far. Mizzou got upset at home by Indiana last week, but they can score.

6) Steve Smith’s old team, the Panthers, visit his new team, the Ravens in a battle of teams who both lost a key player via domestic violence issues. Carolina went in the tank in the fourth quarter against Pittsburgh last week; with no Ray Rice, doubtful that Baltimore can pound them on the ground the way the Steelers did.

5) North Carolina gave up 70 points at East Carolina last week. 70. Now they go to Clemson, which is coming off a loss to Florida State’s backup QB. Tigers will go with freshman Watson under center; this could get ugly for the Tar Heels, unless they suddenly figure out how to tackle.

4) Florida State @ NC State—Jameis Winston is back playing this week; if I’m Jimbo Fisher, my lecture to ol’ Jameis last week would’ve had two key elements to it: a) When you’ve been cleared of rape charges, try not to yell out sexually explicit rap lyrics in public; people might get the wrong idea. b) Stay the hell off of cafeteria tables; if the table collapses with you on it and you break your arm, we both lose an awful lot of money.

3) When Adrian Peterson’s trial comes up, if I’m a lawyer trying the case, I have to ask prospective jurors if any of them are ticked off at AP because they drafted him in fantasy football and he ruined their team by getting suspended for the year. It’s a fair question; you ruin my fantasy football team, I’ll send your butt to jail, if I can. People can be weird. Vikings host Atlanta this week, by the way, with Falcons having three extra days to prep after their Thursday night win last week.

2) Georgia is 17-point favorite over Tennessee, biggest spread in this rivalry since at least 1980, when Herschel Walker announced his presence with authority by running over Bill Bates on his way to becoming a Bulldog icon. Vols are going to be pretty good eventually, but they’re too young right now.

1) Curious to see how bad New England’s offense is Monday night at Arrowhead. Oakland actually had the tying TD nullified by a penalty in last minute last week, then turned the ball over on the next play. Patriots lost five of their last six visits here, but Belichick is 4-0 vs Andy Reid.

MLB Final Weekend betting cheat sheet: Kazmir looks to end struggles
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here’s a comprehensive look at betting notes for the final weekend of the regular season:

Washington Whitewash

The Washington Nationals (-170, U 6.5) continued their sizzling Under streak Thursday, blanking the visiting New York Mets 3-0 behind seven innings of one-hit ball from Gio Gonzalez. The Nationals are 2-9 O/U in their last 11 games, allowing more than two runs just twice in that span.

Putting the K in Kluber

Cleveland ace Corey Kluber looks to rack up more strikeouts in his final start of the season as the Indians (-164, 6.5) host Tampa Bay. Kluber has 28 strikeouts in his last two starts; the Indians are 8-2 SU and 1-9 O/U in starts where Kluber records double-digit whiffs.

Rockies’ Road Woes

Colorado will try to avoid going out with a whimper as it resumes its season-ending series Saturday against the host Los Angeles Dodgers. The Rockies are an astounding 6-36 SU in their last 42 games away from Coors Field, scoring more than four runs just four times over that stretch.

Favorites Finish Strong

Expect the usual suspects to prevail as the regular season draws to a close Sunday. Favorites are 33-13 SU over the previous three years, winning at a 71.7-percent clip that far exceeds the 2014 regular-season average of 57 percent.

Pitching Notes

* Oakland lefty Scott Kazmir will look to end his recent struggles Friday as he leads the Athletics (-167, 8) against the host Texas Rangers. Kazmir has allowed six or more runs in four of his previous six starts to see his season ERA balloon to 3.63.

* Masahiro Tanaka ends his rookie season against a familiar foe as his New York Yankees take on the host Boston Red Sox. Tanaka faced the Red Sox twice in his first major-league campaign and recorded a pair of wins, including a complete-game seven-hitter on June 28.

* A fantastic season comes to an end Sunday for St. Louis Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright. The veteran right-hander (20-9, 2.38 ERA) enters the weekend 13th in starter value ($1,015) and hasn’t allowed a run in back-to-back starts; he’ll face visiting San Diego on Sunday.

Hitting Notes

* Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Edwin Encarnacion is ending the season on a high as he prepares to face the visiting Baltimore Orioles (-105, 8) on Friday. Encarnacion is batting .391 with two homers, 11 RBIs and a 1.160 OPS over the last seven days.

* Expect a big game from Chase Utley on Saturday as his Philadelphia Phillies tangle with Aaron Harang and the Atlanta Braves. Utley is a .406 career hitter against Harang, with four doubles, a home run and six RBIs over 32 at-bats.

* It could be a long day for Los Angeles Angels hitters on Sunday as they wrap up their regular season against Seattle ace Felix Hernandez and the host Mariners. Members of the Angels roster are hitting a combined .208 with 115 strikeouts in 432 combined at-bats versus Hernandez.

Totals Streak

Los Angeles Dodgers (14-2-2 O/U): The Dodgers are ending the season with a bang, having either scored or allowed seven or more runs in 10 of their last 13 games. The season-ending Over surge has moved Los Angeles to 80-70-9 entering the final weekend of the 2014 campaign.

Prop of the Day

Bettors may want to consider a lower line for Friday’s matchup between the Rays and Indians, with Under 5 paying +200. Kluber has been one of the stingiest pitchers in baseball since the All-Star Break, while counterpart Chris Archer has allowed just four runs over his last three starts.

Injury Notes

* Washington Nationals outfielder Denard Span (knee) will return to the lineup for Friday’s doubleheader against the visiting Miami Marlins. It isn’t clear whether Span, who suffered the injury Tuesday night, will play one or both ends of the twin bill.

* White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia left Thursday’s game against Kansas City with lower back stiffness and will sit out Friday. Garcia missed a whopping 113 games from early-April to mid-August with a shoulder injury; Chicago was 54-59 SU, 56-54-3 O/U and +651 units in that span.

Weather Watch

* Fans at AT&T Park should expect winds blowing out to right-center field at 11 mph for Friday’s game between the host Giants (-147, 6.5) and San Diego. Teams averaged 1.43 home runs while batting .262 in 23 games under similar conditions in 2013, slightly above stadium averages.

* Dodger Stadium will see wind blowing out to center field at 7 mph Saturday when Los Angeles welcomes Colorado to town. Teams averaged nearly two home runs per game with the wind blowing out to center a season ago, well above the park average of 1.65.

Over has big night on the diamond

Though it will always be remembered as Derek Jeter's last game at Yankee Stadium, Thursday was also a successful day for bettors. In 12 games on the MLB slate, the over paid out in nine of them (75 percent).

Teams scored an average of 9.5 runs per game with seven games hitting double digits.

Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

-- Congrats to the Royals, who are in the playoffs for first time since 1985.

-- Mets' pitcher Jon Niese left his start Friday with an elevated heartbeat, an issue he's had before. Not the best way to head into the offseason.

-- Rajon Rondo broke his hand, is out 6-8 weeks, which means he'll miss the start of the Celtics' season.

-- Fresno State 35, New Mexico 24-- Bob Davie has a tough job in Albuquerque.

-- Cardinals won 7-6 in 10 innings in Arizona, lead the Pirates in NL Central by a game with two left to play.

-- Oakland/Seattle both won, A's lead by two games with two days left for the last playoff spot in the AL.


**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind........

13) In last seven years, Clint Hurdle brought the Colorado Rockies to a World Series and the Pirates to the playoffs. Twice. Think about that for a second. He’s a damn good manager.

12) Cubs had their lowest home attendance since 1998 this season; I can see why they traded Hammel/Samardzija, just mystified why they didn’t get pitching back in the trade. Not sure how they will get their starting rotation up to a level that will allow them to contend anytime soon.

All their prospects except for Kris Bryant are middle infielders and Bryant plays 3B, so you can’t move any of the other prospects there.

11) Greedy bastard update: Out west they’re selling two seats from old Candlestick Park for $750, while back east one of Derek Jeter’s game worn socks is going for $409. Not a pair of socks, one sock. Anyone who pays $409 for one sock deserves their name to be published so they can be mocked publicly.

10) Ryder Cup golfers don’t get paid, but they get $200K apiece for their favorite charity; I’m told their various sponsors also reward them for the added exposure they’ll get this weekend. Golf is nothing if not big business.

9) Had no plans to watch the Ryder Cup this weekend, until I found out they were on TV live at 3am. Live events at 3am are right in my wheelhouse. As recently as 1989, no networks televised the Ryder Cup; it was an obscure event on the USA Network, which also shows the WWE and dog shows. Ryder Cup has come a long way since then.

8) Diamondbacks fired Kirk Gibson Friday, which was an odd marriage to begin with, seeing as Gibson's famous homer in 1988 came against Tony Larussa's best Oakland team. Bench coach Alan Trammell also got a pink slip.

7) ESPN’s Danny Kanell had Oklahoma vs Florida State, Oregon vs Alabama as his prospective playoff matchups, if those playoffs started this week. We’ll see more of this as the clock ticks towards the first 4-team college football playoff.

6) RIP Caldwell Jones, who died this week at age 64. Very good basketball player, was a pro hooper for 17 years; he also had three brothers who played in the NBA.

5) Why does Eldrick Woods need a golf coach? As the great pitcher Bob Gibson once told a catcher who visited his mound, “…....the only thing you know about pitching is that you can’t hit it.”

Woods should be able to coach himself; his biggest question is this: are his ailments more physical or mental? Does he still have the desire/physical ability to practice well so he can play great?

4) Phil Hughes missed a $500K bonus by one-third of an inning Wednesday; apparently he turned down the chance to pitch this weekend, so he could make the extra half-mil. Hughes is signed up at $8M a year thru 2016, so his family will still eat, just too bad he missed out on the bonus by only one batter.

3) If you care about such things, thru three weeks, the Raiders (163) have run the least offensive plays of any NFL team.

2) Texas Longhorns already booted nine kids off the team in Charlie Strong’s first season in Austin; you wonder if some downtrodden program could somehow latch on to all nine of those kids, how much would it help/hurt their program? If they signed with Texas, they have to be pretty good players.

1) Want to feel old? Davis Love is on the Seniors Tour now. He’s almost as old as I am!!!!!
