Thursday?s 6-pack

Favorites for the Memorial golf tournament this weekend:

12-1? Dustin Johnson, Jason Day 12-1

14-1? Justin Thomas, Justin Rose, Rory McIlroy

16-1? Jordan Spieth, Eldrick Woods

20-1? Rickie Fowler

25-1? Henrik Stenson

33-1? Matsuyama, Reed, Leishman, Watson

Quote of the Day
?There remains a fundamental question the owners are going to have to address. When you take away the home plate umpire?s control over the strike zone, you take away a principal piece of his authority in terms of managing the whole game. You really need to think carefully about whether you want to make that change.?
Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred

Thursday?s quiz
Which two NBA teams was Eric Musselman head coach of?

Wednesday?s quiz
When Detroit Lions? QB Matthew Stafford played HS ball in Texas, Clayton Kershaw was the center on their football team.

Tuesday?s quiz
In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy was from Kansas.

************************

Thursday?s List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud

13) Didn?t write about this yesterday because I was trying to fully grasp whats going on, but there are strange doings on social media this week. Apparently 76ers? GM Bryan Colangelo was discovered to be running five burner Twitter accounts, which did various things that a GM shouldn?t be doing, like disclosing players? medical information and ripping his predecessor.

12) 76ers put out a statement saying they?re investigating the whole thing.

Joel Embiid said ?I talked to him and he said that he didn?t say that. He called me just to deny the story. Gotta believe him until proven otherwise. If true though, that would be really bad.?

One thing no one in Philly wants to do is tick off Embiid.

11) There are 30 teams in the NBA- their draft is two rounds, so that is 60 guys who will get drafted in late June.

Last I heard, 77 kids have bolted college early for the NBA; when you add in foreign players and international players, going to be lot of disappointed kids after the draft. G-League draft will have lot of recognizable names in it.

10) Cleveland Browns? DB Demarious Randall tweeted this week that if the Cavaliers beat Golden State in the NBA Finals, he would buy everyone who re-tweeted his tweet a Cavaliers? jersey (they cost around $100).

Well, 831,404 re-tweeted his tweet, and since Randall doesn?t make anywhere near $9M a year, he had to use the ?obviously it was a joke? line, referring to his offer to buy lot of jerseys.

9) Did some research this week; looking at which umpires call the highest %age of strikes, Here is part of what I found. Most every umpire is somewhere around 17%.

Highest %age of strikes called (for starting P?s only):
Culbreth 20.8%, Greg Gibson 20.6%, Nelson 19.9%, Lentz 19.5%

8) Lowest %age of strikes called (for starting P?s only):
Reynolds 14.4%, Woodring 14.9%, Bucknor 15.4%, Welke 16.0%

7) Duke, Northwestern, Purdue are leading the race for Clemson transfer QB Hunter Johnson, who has to sit this season out, but then will have three years to play. Johnson was rated asthe #2 pro-style passer in the 2017 recruiting class

6) Cubs scored 8+ runs in seven of Jon Lester?s 11 starts.

5) Dodgers put P Kenta Maeda (hip strain) on DL.
Phillies put LF Rhys Hoskins (jaw) on DL.

4) Washington 3, Vegas 2? This is just third time since 2005 that Stanley Cup finals are tied 1-1.

3) Nevada Wolf Pack got very good news Wednesday, as the Martin twins are coming back to Reno to play another year of ball, which makes the Wolf Pack a top 20 team.

2) The baseball commissioner hinted this week that calling balls/strikes via automation isn?t impossible in the future. Does this guy even like baseball? Why would this be a good idea?

Having humans call balls/strikes is as important as having humans play the game.

Call me paranoid, but if my favorite team the A?s was playing New York in the ALCS, with the big money TV ratings for the World Series at stake, do you think I?d be trusting that someone wasn?t rigging the automated umpire to favor New York? You bet your ass I?d think that.

1) If you want a laugh, find the front page of today?s New York Post. It has a picture of two people sitting in the Oval Office, after their discussion about prison reform. I?m not going to say anything else about it, other than you can find the picture on Twitter or the Post?s website.

Read the captions above the picture; classic New York Post stuff.

Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

Over/under totals for TD passes thrown this season:

27.5? Carson Wentz

26.5? Kirk Cousins

22.5? Alex Smith

21.5? Patrick Mahomes

20.5? Case Keenum

3.5? Nick Foles


**********

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Random stuff with the weekend here??.

13) Sports betting starts in Delaware Tuesday; a vote is scheduled in New Jersey for Thursday and when that passes, it?ll start in the Garden State soon after that.

12) In 1971, Nike changed its name from Blue Ribbon Sports to Nike; a college student named Carolyn Davidson designed the now-famous swoosh logo. She was paid $35 and a few shares of Nike stock for her artwork. She should?ve held out for more.

11) A televangelist from Louisiana says Jesus has asked his followers to buy a new private jet- this one costs a mere $54M. The guy already has three other jets.

Oy.

10) Shohei Ohtani in day games: 4-0, 2.18, Angels won all five of his daytime starts.

Shohei Ohtani in night games: 0-1, 5.84, Angels lost two of his three night starts.

9) Former NFL coach Mike Martz will coach the San Diego team in the new AAF next spring, which means San Diego will score a lot of points and waste a lot of timeouts.

8) Joe Namath turned 75 years old this week; QB of the Jets who won Super Bowl III that made the AFL-NFL merger happen. Namath became a hideously overrated player because he won a title for a team in New York City- the playoff games he won that year were the only playoff games he ever won, but he also turned out to be a really nice guy who is always pleasant with fans and is a really good ambassador for the game.

7) There was an odd play early in the Phillies-Dodgers game Thursday; Mikael Franco tried to score from second on a single, the throw bounced away from the catcher, but Franco never touched home plate, in fact, he never came close to touching it.

No one said anything, the run scored and the game went on.

6) Carlos Torres was the ump for the Rays-A?s game Thursday; someone needs to tell him to call some damn strikes. He was squeezing both pitchers badly; the game is better if the ball is in play more. Get the hitters swinging the bat.

5) Baseball players get hurt a lot:
? Cardinals P Alex Reyes (lat strain) goes on the DL
? Clayton Kershaw will have an MRI on his back tomorrow.

4) St. John?s poached Auburn transfer Mustapha Heron; with the Big East expected to be a little down next winter, Red Storm could make some noise in conference for first time in a while.

3) Phillies 2, Dodgers 1? Bad news for LA; Clayton Kershaw?s back tightened up during this game and he?ll have an MRI on it.

2) Warriors 124, Cavaliers 114? Golden State wins Game 1 in OT, overcoming Lebron James? 51 points? he also had 8 rebounds, 8 assists.

This game didn?t sell out in Oakland, which is surprising. Golden State won, which isn?t surprising.

1) JR Smith rebounded a missed free throw in a tie game with 0:04.7 left; instead of shooting the ball, he dribbled it out, thinking Cleveland was ahead by a point. Whoops.

Smith was -20 in his 38:00 on the court, the worst plus/minus of anyone in the game. In the 15:00 Smith sat out, the Cavaliers were +7.

A guy who has played 13 years in the NBA didn?t know the score of a tie game with 0:04.7 left. That not good, especially if you bet the under.

WNBA Betting Recap - 5/28-6/3
June 5, 2018

League Betting Notes (Monday, May 28 through Sunday, June 3)

-- Favorites went 9-5 straight up (SU)
-- Favorites went 7-6-1 against the spread (ATS)
-- Home teams posted a 8-6 SU record
-- Road teams posted a 7-6-1 ATS record
-- The 'over' went 8-6

Team Betting Notes

-- It was a memorable week for Las Vegas (1-5), as they were able to pick up the first regular season victory in franchise history. The Aces scored an 85-73 victory over Washington (5-3) on June 1 in Nevada. The loss snapped a 4-0 ATS run for the Mystics, so it was rather surprising. The 'under' has cashed in three of the past four for Washington, too.

-- Connecticut (5-0) continues its early-season assault on the rest of the WNBA, covering four of their five outings so far. That includes a perfect 2-0 ATS through two road contests. The four-game road odyssey continues with stops in Atlanta (2-3) and New York (2-2) this week.

-- The Dream has alternated losses and wins through their five outings, doing the same against the spread, too. If the trend continues, a win and cover against the visiting Sun on Tuesday will be coming. One thing that isn't erratic about Atlanta is their work against the total, as the 'under' has hit in four in a row.

-- After two setbacks to open the new season the Liberty has won each of their past two. They have also covered three in a row, while the 'over' is 3-1 on the young campaign.

-- Chicago (3-3) slapped the brakes on a three-game losing streak, edging the Aces 95-90 on Sunday. The Sky has posted 80 or more points in four of six outings, while allowing at least 76 points in the past five. The 'over' has hit in three in a row for Chicago.

-- Indiana (0-6) is still searching for its first victory of the season. Defense has been the issue for the Fever, as they have allowed 82 or more points in all six contests. The 'over' has connected in four of their past five outings.

-- Like Atlanta above, Dallas (3-3) has alternated losses and wins through their six battles to date. Defense has been an issue for the Wings, as they have yielded at least 76 points in all but one of their four outings, including 92.0 PPG allowed over the past two games. The 'over' has hit in four of their contests. Dallas is on an impressive 4-1 ATS run over the past five heading into the new week.

-- Minnesota (2-5) is experiencing some uncharacteristic struggles, as they're in the midst of a four-game losing streak. They had been favorites in their first six outings, but they were an underdog for their most recent setback. Fade Minnesota if you want to cash big, as the Lynx are 0-7 ATS so far this season. The 'under' is also an impressive 5-2.

-- Los Angeles (4-1) is off to a solid start, with only a setback to the Sun back on May 24. They're also 4-1 ATS so far.

-- Seattle (5-2) had its five-game winning streak snapped in Big D, losing 94-90 against the Wings. The Storm have alternated non-covers and covers in each of their seven games. The 'over' has hit in six of their seven games so far this season.

Jordin Canada and Sue Bird's bond began before Seattle
June 5, 2018

Right before her senior season at UCLA, Jordin Canada was seeking advice on how to be a better point guard. Who better to turn to than Sue Bird?

The two got in touch and had a long phone conversation where Bird imparted some of her wisdom to Canada. Fast-forward eight months, and Bird is still offering advice to Canada, now as a teammate with the Storm after Seattle drafted her with the fifth pick in April.

''It's an honor being able to learn from the best,'' Canada said. ''It's great for me. I see her in practice and games and what she does, her confidence, the way she leads. It's unbelievable to experience that first-hand.''

Bird remembers the conversation last year with Canada and was flattered that the young guard reached out.

''It's a huge compliment when that happens,'' Bird said. ''They are doing it for a reason. I didn't know Jordin personally, but had seen her play a few times.''

Now Bird has gotten the chance to see Canada up close for the last month.

''Speed is what sticks out right away,'' Bird said of her young protege. ''It's one thing to see it on TV, but when you're experiencing it in person, it's incredible. It's not just the speed though, it's her ability to break defenses down. It's very important to have someone who can do that.''

Canada was one of the top point guards in college last year, and learning from a future Hall of Famer and the league's all-time assist leader has been great.

''I feel like I'm learning a lot from her in practices and shootarounds,'' Canada said. ''She is always talking to me in games making sure I understand different terminology.''

She got her first start for the Storm against Dallas on Saturday as Bird rested. The rookie had nine points, nine assists and five steals in a loss. Bird was constantly in her ear that game.

''Once this franchise started to rebuild a couple years ago, I always felt like this is my opportunity to help them and pass down as much knowledge as I can,'' Bird said. ''Prep them to take over and take this franchise and keep it going. That vibe has trickled on to Jordin.''

One thing that has stuck with Bird was that after they chatted, Canada wrote her a thank you note for talking to her. A rare sweet gesture in this day of texts and tweets.

''It was very touching she took the time to recognize that to thank me,'' Bird said. ''She didn't have to do that.''

MERCURY 80, LIBERTY 74

NEW YORK (AP) - Brittney Griner scored 26 points and Diana Taurasi had 21 to help the Mercury beat the Liberty in a school-day game at Madison Square Garden.

This was one of only two games at MSG this season, with the Liberty playing the rest of their home schedule in suburban Westchester County.

Phoenix (5-3) led by five at halftime and the second half was a back-and-forth affair, with neither team able to take a bigger lead until the closing minutes.

Marissa Coleman hit a 3-pointer with 3:23 left to give New York a 74-73 advantage. Those were the Liberty's last points.

DeWanna Bonner hit a 3-pointer from the corner with 2:15 left to give Phoenix a two-point advantage. The teams traded misses before Griner connected on a turnaround jumper with 39.8 seconds left that made it 78-74 Phoenix. Taurasi added two free throws for the final margin.

Tina Charles scored 25 points and Bria Hartley had 18 to lead the Liberty (2-3).

Stricklen's play lifts Sun past Liberty
June 7, 2018

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) Shekinna Stricklen had a four-point play at the buzzer to give the Connecticut Sun an 88-86 victory over the New York Liberty on Thursday night.

Stricklen caught the ball on the wing off a pass from Jasmine Thomas, hit the shot and was fouled as time expired. After a brief review by the officials, the basket was ruled good. Stricklen shot the free throw with no time on the clock.

The Sun (6-1) trailed by 13 at the half and took their first lead since early in the game on Thomas' layup midway through the fourth quarter. Thomas had left the game a few minutes earlier when she went down hard after committing a foul and grabbed her knee. She was on the sideline for a few minutes being looked at by the Sun's training staff before returning.

The teams traded the lead over the final few minutes before Marissa Coleman's driving layup with 29.7 seconds left gave New York the lead an 85-84 advantage. After a few misses by Connecticut, Bria Hartley was fouled and she made one of two free throws with 5.8 seconds left setting up the exciting finish.

Thomas led the Sun with 19 points.

Tina Charles had 24 points and nine rebounds for the Liberty (2-4).

Seimone Augustus added 16 points for Minnesota (3-5). She passed Katie Douglas and DeLisha Milton-Jones for 11th on the WNBA scoring list with 5,573 points.
