Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

-- Russell Martin hit a dramatic 3-run homer in the 8th inning as Pittsburgh beat the Brewers 4-2, extending their lead in the Wild Card race.

-- Detroit-Oakland-Seattle all won; rough night for the Royals in the AL.

-- South Florida 17, UConn 14-- They'll use the rain as an excuse, but this was an awful football game. UConn's first TD came on an all-time lucky pick-6.

-- David Ortiz hit two homers as Boston won 5-3 in 10 innings in Baltimore.

-- Clayton Kershaw won his 20th game, Dodgers clinched a playoff spot as they whacked the Cubs 14-5 at Wrigley.

-- Florida State has now suspended QB Jameis Winston for the whole game tonite vs Clemson; I'm sure the TV people are thrilled about that.


**********

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

13) Umpire Joe West got suspended for a game for grabbing Jonathan Papelbon by the shirt during Papelbon’s meltdown as he left the field after blowing a save Sunday; interesting that the suspension was made public. I’m pretty sure not every umpire suspension is made public.

12) NHL preseason games start Sunday, as in, tomorrow. Apparently summer is over.

11) When ESPN first started out in 1979, Exxon owned most of the company; apparently they had talks about pulling the plug on it early on, since it really was a pioneer in TV, an all-sports network and obviously it didn’t make money right away. Media world might be lot different now if they had quit the project.

10) Florida State’s QB tonight will be Sean Maguire, a kid from New Jersey whose high school ran the wing-T, meaning that ol’ Sean probably won’t be throwing the ball too much tonight.

9) Golfer Nicolas Colsaerts hit a golf ball 447 yards in Wales earlier this week; it was downhill/downwind, but still, going driver/wedge and getting on the green of a 613-yard hole in two is pretty impressive.

8) Tom Brady posted his college resume on Facebook this week; he spent his summers in college mostly working on a golf course- he also worked at a brokerage firm one summer. He said something about thinking he’d need that resume, once he wasn’t drafted in the 5th round that year, but things worked out pretty well for him.

7) Sean Payton bought 100 Devon Still jerseys at $100 apiece, with proceeds going to a children’s hospital in Cincinnati. Pretty cool move by Payton. Still’s 4-year old daughter is battling cancer.

6) A lawyer in New York City had his Jaguar stolen in 1968; it was found this month as it was put on a boat, headed for Europe. Yes it took them 46 years to find a stolen car. Lawyer lives in Florida now; imagine his surprise when he got that phone call.

5) Texas Tech fired its defensive coordinator (technically he quit, but come on….) amidst rumors he came to work under the influence. Arkansas shredded the Red Raider defense last week, which is the main reason he got canned.

4) Bunch of baseball teams shuffled their minor league affiliates for next year: Sacramento will be a Giants’ team now, Astros take over in Houston, Dodgers in Oklahoma City, Rockies in Albuquerque, A’s in Nashville. Apparently Nashville wasn’t at all pleased with the Brewers, who wanted their AAA team to stay there, but the feeling wasn’t mutual. I’mthink it saves a lot of money having your AAA team close to the big league team; makes calling players up hell of a lot easier.

3) Why have the 49ers won nine of their last ten games with Arizona? In those ten games, Niners turned the ball over seven times, Redbirds 30 times. Stanton is starting at QB again this week, oer the injured Carson Palmer.

2) When Auburn won 20-14 at Kansas State Thursday, it snapped their 13-game win streak against the spread. Still a good win that wouldn’t have been a win had K-State’s kicking game been at a collegiate level- they missed a 22-yard FG.

1) Weird baseball stat: Felix Hernandez has a 1.89 ERA in his no-decisions this year. Weirder stat: Jeff Samardzija has had five starts this year where he didn’t allow a run; his team lost all five of those games, three with Cubs, his last two starts for Oakland.

Three ways you should wager on MLB playoff clinchers

When it comes to clinching MLB teams, bettors beware.

Teams that secure playoff berths with games to spare have a tendency to tinker with their rosters heading into the postseason, and that has had a significant impact on the outcomes of their games over the past three years.

Here are three trends worth monitoring when it comes to betting on - or against - teams that already know they're headed to the playoffs:

In the Playoffs? Take it Easy

In each of the past three years, teams that have clinched a division title or wild-card berth have performed well below their previous winning pace for the remainder of the regular season. Last season, teams entered their stretch of largely meaningless games with a cumulative .590 winning percentage but won at just a .520 clip the rest of the way. The difference was less pronounced in both 2012 (.578 to .545) and 2013 (.598 to .569), but still significant to bettors.

"While they're still playing for home-field advantage, if teams have already clinched a spot, then the games generally no longer mean quite as much," says Covers Expert Ben Burns. "This can sometimes lead to regulars getting some extra rest and/or to a dropoff in overall intensity level."

Bettors should bear this in mind when considering how to approach the three teams that have already secured their division: Washington, Baltimore and the Los Angeles Angels.

The Orioles finish against three likely non-playoff teams in Boston, the Yankees and Toronto, and will almost assuredly give their regulars some rest. The same may apply to the Nationals, who end with seven straight home games against the Mets and Marlins. The Angels finish with six road games against Oakland and Seattle - both fighting for a playoff spot - and should face a steady stream of regulars in both series, making them likely underdogs throughout.

Value as an underdog

While division and wild-card clinchers lose virtually all value as a favorite the rest of the way, they're still hot plays as underdogs. Last year's top teams went 6-4 as underdogs down the stretch, while clinchers finished 11-11 as dogs in 2012 and 6-6 in 2011.

That doesn't necessarily make them a super-hot play moving forward, but consider that underdogs this season are converting at just under 43 percent this year - and haven't been higher than 43.14 percent over the past three years. With no clincher underdog winning percentage lower than 50 percent in any of the previous three seasons, they do represent a slightly better play compared to the norm.

Given the three teams presently locked into playoff spots, only the Angels appear to be obvious underdog candidates. The moneylines for the other two teams will depend heavily on whether they decide to rest starting pitchers or position players. Los Angeles probably won't be favored in any of its final six games, unless the Athletics and/or Mariners somehow fall out of playoff contention before then.

Shrinking totals

Totals bets are always a dicey proposition, but there's evidence - at least in the short-term - to suggest that clinchers play lower-scoring games down the stretch. The qualifying teams posted a 19-29-2 O/U mark in 2013 and a 20-34-1 O/U record in 2012.

Even an Over-heavy result in 2011 - teams went 27-21-3 - comes with an explanation. The Milwaukee Brewers (5-0 O/U down the stretch) were playing for National League playoff seeding and boasted a pair of sensational offensive weapons in Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun (who was still competing for the batting title.), while the Detroit Tigers (11-4-1 O/U down the stretch) led the majors with a .280 average and had incredible lineup depth.

So why the strong Under results?

"Likely just a product of watered down talent with September call-ups taking may spots in the order," says Covers Expert Sean Murphy. "Pitchers aren't given quite as much rest, as it's generally better for them to stay on schedule leading up to the postseason."
