Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Six major league umps with largest strikeout/walk ratios when they work plate:

6) Scott Baker 3.53 strikeouts per walk, eight games behind plate

5) Paul Schrieber 3.58, five games

4) Adam Hamari 3.71, eight

3) Dana Demuth 3.75, seven

2) Ryan Blakney, 4.80, four

1) Mark Ripperger 4.81, six

**********

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud.....

13) Bryce Harper has to chill; he obviously now has a bad reputation with umpires, getting tossed for arguing ball/strikes for second time in last week. He is only 22 but very intense- his team needs him in the game.

12) Speaking of the Nationals, Bronx Bombers came on the field to take batting practice before the game Tuesday and the PA system in Washington started playing Send in the Clowns, the Judy Collins classic. Coincidence?

11) Jeff Teague plays for the Hawks, Kyrie Irving for Cleveland; long time ago, their dads were teammmates at Boston University.

10) Let me get this straight; Scott Books got fired by the GM who let James Harden walk? Interesting......

9) Sacramento Kings are in the NBA draft lottery most years; of the last 17 times they were in the lottery, they've never moved up but have fallen at least one slot eight times.

8) Charlie Weis is still getting paid $4.5M this year, despite not having a job; this fraud is still in top 10 nationally of highest paid college football coaches. How Kansas ever got suckered into hiring him is beyond me.

7) Top 10 college basketball recruit Caleb Swanigan flipped from his initial choice Michigan State to Purdue, whch will make the Boilermakers' games in East Lansing the next couple of years more interesting affairs.

6) Toronto Maple Leafs land coach Mike Babcock from Detroit, giving him an 8-year, $50M contract. Babcock has won the Stanley Cup, something the Leafs haven't done since the mid-60's.

5) QB Everett Golson transfers from Notre Dame to Florida State for his last year of college football, but he won't have the benefit of spring practice and Jimbo Fisher's playbook is complex by college standards, so Golson is no lock to start for the Seminoles in September.

4) Why are the Indianapolis Colts not giving coach Chuck Pagano a contract extension? With Andrew Luck at QB in a weak division, Indy figures to be good again this year, which will only boost Pagano's leverage in negotiations.

3) Actor/wrestler Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson once played defensive line with Warren Sapp at Miami, where their position coach was Ed Orgeron, who is now in the same job at LSU. Lot of strong personalities in those meetings.

2) Seriously, the Knicks couldn't find a way to utilize JR Smith?

1) If laughter is indeed the best medicine, David Letterman helped heal a hell of a lot of people over the last 35 years. Thanks for everything, sir.

Diamond dogs, unders cash for bettors Wednesday

Underdogs and the under were the wagers to make in Major League Baseball action Wednesday, with pups going 10-5 straight up and the under having a huge night at 13-2.

The 66.67 percent success rate for the underdogs is huge considering they are cashing at a rate of 45.93 percent this season.

As for the unders, it has been a decent week with them going 51-39, bringing the season average up to 48.24 percent.

Indians and White Sox make it 13 unders in a row

Well, we hope you've been paying attention.

After the Cleveland Indians 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox Wednesday night, the teams played to the under for the 13th consecutive time when facing each other.

The under is also a crazy 21-3 between the AL Central rivals dating back to last season.

The teams will try for 14 unders in a row when they continue complete their four-game series Thursday night in Chicago.

The Indians will call on righty Danny Salazer (4.06 ERA, 5-1 O/U) to start, while the White Sox counter with lefty John Danks (4.66 ERA, 1-5-1 O/U).

Bumgarner has gotten the best of Kershaw

Madison Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants have the upperhand on Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers as San Fran has won the past four meetings with those two pitchers starting.

Those four Giants win has seen Bumgarner pitch 28.1 innings while only surrendering five runs and striking out 31. Kershaw though has not been bad, while only allowing nine runs in 28.0 innings of work while registering 33 K's.

The Giants are currently +116 home dogs with a total sitting at a very low 6.0 runs.

Marlins still costing bettors money

The Miami Marlins fell 6-1 to the Arizona Diamondbacks Wednesday night, making it six losses in a row despite being the favorite in all six games.

The Marlins closed as -126 favorites for last night's game and the consecutive losses as favorites have plummeted them down the money standings. The Marlins are the second worst money team in the bigs at $-1124.

The Marlins will be favored once again Thursday as they close out their series with the D-Backs. Mat Latos and the Marlins are currently -141 favorites over Arizona's Archie Bradley.
