Armadillo: Monday's Den: Wrapping up a sports weekend
13) This is baseball, 2020:
In the Miami-Tampa Bay game Sunday, the Marlins? 41st game this year:
? Miami?s Trevor Rogers threw 100 pitches.
? Tampa Bay?s Tyler Glasnow threw 105 pitches.
It was the first time this season, in Miami?s 41 games, that both starting pitchers threw 100+ pitches in the same game.
12) Atlanta?s Freddie Freeman hit two grand slams in the last three games; in 10 years in the major leagues before this weekend, Freeman had never hit a grand slam.
11) Umpire Joe West threw Washington Nationals? GM Mike Rizzo out of the game Sunday; the thing is, Rizzo was sitting in a luxury box in the third level of the stadium. With no fans in the ballpark, umpires can hear a lot more of what their critics think of them.
Rizzo got a 3-year contract extension Saturday, so he can afford the fine he?ll get.
10) Astros-Angels played a doubleheader Saturday; it was 109 degrees in Anaheim when the first pitch was thrown. Tough weekend for the catchers in Orange County- it was 106 degrees for Sunday?s game in Anaheim.
9) Toronto leads the Bronx Bombers by a game in the race for 2nd place in the AL East; they play 10 of their last 20 games against each other, starting Monday in Buffalo.
8) Interesting conversation on the YES Network Sunday; top of 7th inning, Orioles led New York 4-1, but the visitors have two men on, with catcher Erik Kratz at bat, tying run at the plate.
Kratz is a career backup, but Gary Sanchez is having a dreadful season, so he?s been benched; if they pinch-hit for Kratz, they pretty much had to put Sanchez in the game, which they obviously didn?t want to do.
The three TV guys then discussed why this was happening, and how manager Aaron Boone isn?t making all the decisions as far as who plays and who doesn?t, the type of manager/front office issues we saw in the movie Moneyball.
It was an unusually frank discussion, and it was good stuff.
7) Sunday was the 25th anniversary of Cal Ripken Jr surpassing Lou Gehrig?s record for most consecutive games played, with 2,131.
Longest current active streak of consecutive games played? Whit Merrifield, 288 games.
6) SMU 31, Texas State 24? Imagine being Texas State and being on ESPN Saturday at 4:30, the only televised football game at that time? What a recruiting bonanza for the Sun Belt?s Bobcats, who hung in with SMU but couldn?t spring the upset- they got good exposure, though, and that sure helps their recruiting.
5) Villanova basketball coach Jay Wright made it known that he doesn?t want to be the 76ers? head coach. He already has a lucrative gig with more job security.
4) They opened a new sportsbook in the Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas, one of the few strip casinos I?ve never been in. I look forward to seeing it someday.
3) Pittsburgh Steelers cut QB Devlin Hodges, who started six games for them LY and brought back QB Josh Dobbs, who had been a backup in Jacksonville.
2) From Ralph Michaels:
Since 2014 in the NFL, Week 1 divisional underdogs are 21-5-1 ATS.
1) If the baseball playoffs started today (they do not):
AL East- Tampa Bay, Toronto
AL Central- Chicago, Cleveland
AL West- Oakland, Houston
AL Wild Cards- Minnesota, New York
NL East- Atlanta, Philadelphia
NL Central- Chicago, St Louis
NL West- Los Angeles, San Diego
NL Wild Cards- Colorado, Mia/SF

NHL public betting, odds movement September 7

Goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy and the Lightning are coming off a week's rest entering Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Islanders. PointsBet USA has Tampa Bay a -160 favorite.
NHL betting odds heat up as the Stanley Cup playoffs reach the opening game of the Eastern Conference finals Monday. The second-seeded Tampa Bay Lightning are right where they expected to be, while the sixth-seeded New York Islanders are perhaps a surprise in this spot.
PointsBet USA provided insights on NHL opening odds and early odds movement, sharp money and public betting for Monday?s contest.
NHL odds movement
Tampa Bay wasted little time getting to this point, winning each of their first two playoff series in five games. So the Lightning are well-rested after finishing off Boston with a 3-2 overtime win Aug. 31. New York got out to a 3-1 lead over Philadelphia in the East semis, but needed seven games to advance, wrapping it up with a 4-0 victory Saturday.
PointsBet USA opened the Lightning -150 and quickly moved to -160 Sunday morning, with the Islanders +135. A little later Sunday, news broke that standout Tampa forward Steven Stamkos ? yet to play since the NHL?s restart began ? would not play in this series, still recovering from what?s been termed a core muscle injury.
The Stamkos news had no impact on the Game 1 line, but PointsBet USA made a slight series price adjustment on the Islanders, from +170 to +165, with Tampa Bay -200 to advance.
NHL public betting
The Consensus often provides a good indication of where public opinion is, and not surprisingly, the Game 1 lean is toward Tampa Bay. As of Sunday night, the Lightning were landing 63 percent of early Consensus picks.

Tweet of the Day
?Dustin is one of the greatest Chiefs of all-time and I?m grateful I had the opportunity to coach him these past seven years. The longevity of his career here in Kansas City shows you just how consistently he has performed at a high level. Beyond his impact on the field, he was a great teammate and leader. I will always be a huge Dustin Colquitt fan.?
Chiefs? coach Andy Reid, who signed with the Steelers Monday

In the 70?s, a guy named Ray Kroc owned the McDonald?s hamburger chain; which major league team did he also own?
Monday?s quiz
Lou Brock began his major league career with the Chicago Cubs.
Sunday?s quiz
Clint Hurdle managed the Colorado Rockies in their only World Series appearance.
*************************************
Tuesday?s Den: Nobody asked me, but??.
13) Southern Mississippi?s football team lost its first game last week, 32-21 to South Alabama as a 13-point home favorite; no idea what happened behind the scenes, but Jay Hopson is out as the Golden Eagles? head coach. After one game.
12) When Freddie Freeman hit his first career grand slam Friday, it came on his 232nd career home run; only Sammy Sosa waited longer to hit his first grand slam? his first one was on his 246th career homer.
11) Jacob deGrom got 35 swings/misses from the Phillies Sunday, tied for most by any pitcher since they started keeping track of such things in 2008.
Danny Duffy (2016), Clayton Kershaw (2015) also got 35 whiffs in a game.
10) Eagles signed 41-year old Josh McCown as their emergency QB for this season; he?ll bank $204,000 for that task, all while he lives in Texas. If something happens and the Eagles need him, he?ll take a private plane to Philly; until then, he?ll participate in Zoom meetings with the Eagles? offense and do his film study at home in the Lone Star State.
9) Toronto 12, Bronx 7? Blue Jays trailed 6-2, then scored 10 runs in the bottom of the 6th inning; they?re two games up in the battle for 2nd place in the AL East.
8) Celtics 111, Raptors 89 (Boston leads 3-2)
? Game was 62-35 at the half, so not much of a game at all.
7) Clippers 113, Nuggets 107 (LA leads 2-1)
? Clippers outscored Denver 29-19 in 4th quarter.
? Lou Williams was +20 in 28:00 off the bench.
6) Washington Redskins named Dwayne Haskins their starting QB.
5) Duke Blue Devils named Chase Brice their starting QB; the last two years, Brice was Trevor Lawrence?s backup at Clemson.
4) Josh Rosen signed on as a backup QB with Tampa Bay, where he re-unites with Byron Leftwich, who was his OC with the Arizona Cardinals.
3) When this baseball season started, no one figured that Kyle Tucker would be the Astros? best player, but it is September 8th, and here we are. Tucker is a very good hitter.
2) If the baseball playoffs started today (they do not):
AL East- Tampa Bay, Toronto
AL Central- Chicago, Cleveland
AL West- Oakland, Houston
AL Wild Cards- Minnesota, New York
NL East- Atlanta, Philadelphia
NL Central- Chicago, St Louis
NL West- Los Angeles, San Diego
NL Wild Cards- Miami, San Francisco
1) RIP to the great Lou Brock, who passed away over the weekend; he was one of the great leadoff hitters of all time, stole over 900 bases, won two World Series rings with St Louis. He was also the all-time stolen base leader, until Rickey Henderson passed him. RIP, sir.
RIP to poker Hall of Famer Mike Sexton, a recognizable face on TV who also passed away this weekend. Sexton won a bracelet at the 1989 World Series of Poker, won over $6M in tournaments; he was one of the TV voices of poker for the last 20 years. RIP, sir.

*****************************
Wednesday?s Den: Mid-week musings??..
13) Have to be some basketball coaches, both in college and the NBA, who are a little queasy about their jobs today; Billy Donovan won?t be coming back to the Oklahoma City Thunder next year. Thunder went 243-157 under Donovan, 18-23 in playoff games, but may be headed towards a rebuild, so someone else will coach their team going forward.
If Donovan announced he wants to go back to college coaching, how many schools wouldn?t fire their coach to bring him in? His Florida teams are the last back/back NCAA champs.
12) Nigel Richards is a man from New Zealand who memorized every French word in the French scrabble dictionary and won the French Scrabble Championship without being able to speak any French. Why would you even attempt that, and how long did it take him?
Is there big money in Scrabble? Hope the guy made a fortune.
11) Sounds like college basketball could begin this season with a series of events in bubbles around the country, much like the NBA has done in Orlando, giving teams a few games to play out of conference before Christmas.
I?ve heard Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, Sioux Falls SD, Houston as potential bubble sites.
10) It snowed in Colorado, South Dakota this week; it is freakin? September 9 and it snowed. No bueno.
Denver Broncos had to practice indoors and right before the end of practice, their star LB Von Miller hurt his ankle and is probably out for the season.
9) Orioles 11, Mets 2? This has obviously been a weird season, but right now Baltimore is only a half-game out of a playoff spot in the American League. They lost 115, 108 games the last couple of seasons, but now they?re vastly improved at 20-21.
Random observations; Orioles have very nice hats. Also, their utility guy Pat Valaika is 8-12 against the Mets this season.
8) Padres 14, Rockies 5? If you bet over 8.5, you got to go to bed early; game was 5-3 after the first inning, 10-3 after the second. San Diego won 1-0 Monday night; they scored 10 runs in first two innings of this game.
7) September 7, 1993, guy on the Cardinals named Mark Whiten hit four home runs in one game, knocked in 12 runs. Imagine going up against him in fantasy that week? Quite a night.
I bring this up because two of the four home runs that night were hit against a Reds? pitcher named Mike Anderson, who was making his major league debut.
Mike Anderson is the brother of Brian Anderson, who is now the play-by-play guy for the Milwaukee Brewers; he also does NBA games on TNT. Brian Anderson was talking about that game with Stan Van Gundy on the NBA broadcast the other night; they were laughing, but if Mike was listening at home, maybe he wasn?t.
6) Marlins 8, Braves 0? Rookie Sixto Sanchez threw six shutout innings; Miami is 19-18 and would be in the playoffs if they started today.
5) NBA Draft was pushed back to October 16; no way the next NBA regular season starts before Christmas, maybe not even until Martin Luther King Day in January.
4) NBA players apparently bring their own food to the bubble every day; Celtics? star Jayson Tatum brings his lunch in a Lion King lunchbox, the square, metal kind of lunchbox we all used when we were kids. Pretty cool.
I had a Volkswagen bus lunchbox back in the day; they opened a new VW dealership near my house and they were giving them away.
3) Miami 103, Milwaukee 94 (Heat wins 4-1)
? Giannis Antetokounmpo sat this one out with a bad ankle.
? Miami?s four subs were a combined +68.
2) Lakers 112, Houston 102 (LA leads 2-1)
? Kuzma/Rondo shot a combined 15-21 off the bench.
? Rockets? starters other than Harden/Westbrook shot combined 7-19.
? Houston scored 64 points in first half, 38 in second half.

The Golden Knights hope to have more to celebrate after Thursday night's Game 3 against the Stars. Vegas opened a -165 favorite at The SuperBook, briefly went to -160, then returned to -165.
NHL betting odds are on the board as the Stanley Cup chase resumes Thursday with Game 3 of the Western Conference finals. The Vegas Golden Knights go for a second straight win in their series against the Dallas Stars.
The SuperBook at Westgate provided insights on NHL opening odds and early odds movement, sharp money and public betting for Thursday?s contest.
NHL odds movement
The Golden Knights got shut out 1-0 in Game 1, then returned the favor Tuesday night in Game 2, notching a 3-0 victory to knot the series. Vegas opened -165 at The SuperBook for Game 3, spent about 30 minutes Wednesday at -160, then returned to the opening price for an 8 p.m. ET puck drop. The Stars are +150.
On the total, The SuperBook was stable at 5.5 through late Wednesday night, although the Under is juiced to -135.
NHL public betting
The Consensus, often indicative of public action, showed a lean toward Vegas by late Wednesday night. The Knights were drawing 64 percent of early picks, while the Over/Under was almost dead two-way play, with 51 percent of picks on the Over.
