Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

-- Davidson College is selling season ticket packages using their #1 alum to draw fans, six years after Stephen Curry graduated. Get t-shirts that look like his old Davidson uniform, enter a drawing for a signed stadium chair, stuff like that.

-- 50 NBA players make more $$$ than Curry; three of them play for the Warriors, which is unfathomable.

-- Someone stole $40K worth of stuff from NBA Entertainment before the game last night in Oakland. Bunch of cameras, five laptops.

-- Warriors 108, Cavaliers 100 OT-- James/Irving took 60 of Cleveland's 94 shots in this game, then Irving got hurt. Cavs scored two points in OT. Very seldom does an NBA team play only eight guys in a game, when they have a full roster.

-- JR Smith was 3-13; Klay Thompson did a good job on him; if Smith doesn't score 15+ points a game, this could be a very short series.

-- This game was entertaining to watch, for sure; three of the non-Lebron Cavaliers are castoffs from the Knicks, he is one of the five greatest players all-time and he is proving it by dragging this cast of ragtag misfits to the Finals.

**********

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

13) Golden State is the first NBA Finals team that had no players with previous Finals experience since Utah in 1997.

12) Its weird to me how close some fans are to the head coaches on NBA sidelines; its a matter of time before there's an incident, right? Some coaches have onversations with Jack Nicholson when they play the Lakers in Staples Center.

11) Some major league teams, Texas being one, give computer printouts to the starting pitcher of what pitches the home plate umpire called strikes in his recent games behind the plate. Wonder how much that helps and if there are pitchers who don't want info like that. Some athletes don't like too much information.

10) Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com wrote that people in Chapel Hill are relievedthat the NCAA's findings weren't a little more harsh than they are, as far as North Carolina's problems with the NCAA. Still not good, but Dodd writes that things could've been a lot worse for the Tar Heels.

9) Cubs 2, Nationals 1-- Washington had two on, two out in 9th inning, when the guy on first got picked off first to tend the game. A walk-off pickoff.

8) A's are 9-3 in last 12 games; they caught Detroit at the perfect time. Tigers have ton of injuries and played terrible baseball this week. Cespedes left the game early on Thursday; if they don't get healthy soon it could be a long summer.

7) Josh Hamilton (hamstring) is on the DL already; Arte Moreno had to eat a lot of money when he got rid of the troubled outfielder, but he's going to wind up being right about cutting bait with Hamilton and admitting an expensive mistake.

6) Rangers' TV had a couple cool video clips last night; they had film of the ill-fated Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park in 1977, when they blew up a ton of disco records in centerfield in between games of a doubleheader, but in process they set the grass in centerfield on fire and incited a riot that caused the White Sox to forfeit the nightcap when they were still in the pennant race. An unfortunate night.

They also had a clip from the Washington Senators' last home game in 1971; that team moved to Arlington the next year and became the Texas Rangers.

5) Exactly how many people are running for President? If many more people get in the race, they can bracket it like the NCAA tournament and have elimination debates all next year. A lot of these people I've never heard of.

4) Mets are 23-3 when they score 4+ runs, 7-22 when they do not.

3) White Sox have been outscored 46-14 in the first inning this year. 46 to 14.

2) I like seeing starting pitchers hanging out together in the dugout during games; its almost like a team within a team, they support that night's pitcher, then the next night that guy is rooting for his teammate who is on the mound that night.

1) Today is National Doughnut Day; have one for me!!!!

Game of the Day: Cardinals at Dodgers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St. Louis Cardinals at Los Angeles Dodgers (-120, 6.5)

Carlos Martinez superbly stymied Los Angeles on Sunday and looks for another strong performance when the St. Louis Cardinals visit the Dodgers on Friday. Martinez struck out eight and allowed just one hit in seven shutout innings as St. Louis posted a 3-1 victory over the Dodgers.

Martinez has pitched 20 1/3 scoreless innings over his last three outings and has allowed just 10 hits during the stretch. He will be looking to help the Cardinals win for the 10th time in 12 games after St. Louis rolled to a 7-1 victory in Thursday's series opener. The top four hitters in the Cardinals' lineup were a combined 8-for-15 in the opener, led by a three-hit game from shortstop Jhonny Peralta. Los Angeles center fielder Joc Pederson had his homer streak end at five consecutive games as his attempt to continue it came up short when he doubled off the left-center field fence in the third inning.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, FSN Midwest (St. Louis), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles)

LINE HISTORY: The line opened at LAD -123 before shifting to -120. The opening total of 6.5 has remained steady.

INJURY REPORT: Cardinals - 1B Matt Adams (Out-Quad), RP Jordan Walden (Out-Shoulder) Dodgers - 2B Howie Kendrick (Ques-Knee), OF Yasiel Puig (Out-Hamstring)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Carlos Martinez (5-2, 3.13 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Brett Anderson (2-3, 3.42)

Martinez has fanned eight batters on five occasions this season and has 64 overall in 60 1/3 innings. He gave up 14 runs over nine innings in his first two May starts before turning things around over his last four turns. Martinez is 1-1 with a 3.43 ERA in five career appearances (four starts) against Los Angeles.

Anderson faced Martinez on Sunday and took the loss as he allowed two runs and five hits in six innings. He is 0-2 over his last four outings and has allowed two or fewer runs in five of his last six turns. Anderson is 1-0 with a 2.89 ERA in five home starts.

TRENDS:

*Cardinals are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
*Dodgers are 8-2 in their last 10 during game 2 of a series.
*Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.
*Over is 8-1 in Martinezs last 9 starts vs. a team with a winning record.

CONSENSUS: 53 percent of the Consensus is behind the Cardinals with 62 percent on the over.

Maybe home teams just thought they could kick their feet up Thursday, but it did not pan out as they went an abysmal 1-9 straight-up. Teams taking to their home diamonds managed to amass a mere 2.3 runs, with four teams only plating a lone runner.

Road teams dominated the scoresheet by almost doubling up their hosting counterparts (44-23). Four road teams even managed to win by three or more runs in hostile territory Thursday.

The lone home team to leave action with a 'W' Thursday was the Texas Rangers, and it took them 11 innings to pull a 2-1 victory over the White Sox.

On the season as a whole home teams have won 53.41 percent of the time.

Nationals bats have gone shockingly quiet

The Washington Nationals have dropped six of their past seven games. The hardest numbers to ignore during that stretch is the Nationals lack of run scoring ability.

The Nats are scoring 2.1 runs per contest in their past seven, including an 8-0 shutout to the Blue Jays, compared to their season average of 4.33.

On the defensive side, the Nats have been struggling to stop teams too, with the team allowing 5.4 runs during this span.

Washington is currently -126 when they play host to the Chicago Cubs Friday.

Friday, June 5

Pitcher change announced - Moscot, Cincinnati

Cincinnati vs. San Diego on June 5 at 7:10 PM. Previous Starter: Raisel Iglesias

Can Odorizzi return to his Under ways vs. Seattle?

Jake Odorizzi has been a boon for Under bettors all season long, and they'll be hoping the right-hander can keep that trend going versus the Seattle Mariners Friday.

The Over/Under has gone 2-8 in Odorizzi's 10 outings so far this season. Prior to last week's 9-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles that went well above the 8 run closing total, the 25-year-old was riding a seven-game Under streak.

J.A. Happ is expected to counter for the M's. Sportsbooks opened the matchup with a 7 run total and have not moved off that number since.

Low totals the story in Dodgers-Cards games

The Under has paid out in six out of the last seven meetings between the L.A. Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals.

They'll collide once again Friday in California, with Carlos Martinez probable to get the ball for the Cards and Brett Anderson slated for the Dodgers.

Oddsmakers have set a total of 7 for the matchup.

Will books adjust low totals for Padres?

Over bettors have been relishing the Padres, as San Diego has a 7-0-1 over/under record in their past eight games.

Those eight games have seen the Padres average 4.9 runs per game while allowing 4.4.

None of the closing totals during those eight games have gone past 7, with 50 percent of those games closing at 6.5 or lower.

San Diego will visit Cincinnati, another hot over team, Friday with the total currently set at 8.

Niese's struggles have Mets losing, Overs cashing

New York Mets' P Jon Niese is struggling as of late, which has lead the team to drop their last four games with the leftie starting.

Niese has worked 20 innings in his past four starts while allowing 20 runs and five home runs. It should not come as a shock then that all four of those starts have been losses for the Mets and overs for bettors.

The Mets are currently +108 with a total of nine when they travel to Arizona Friday.

Braves bats suddenly some of the best in the bigs

The Atlanta Braves are 4-0-1 over/under in their past five contests as they have tallied at least six runs in each of those affairs. The five consecutive games of six runs or more is tied for the longest in the MLB this season (Astros, Tigers).

The Braves has plated 34 runs in their past five, while they amounted the same amount in the 12 previous games.

Atlanta hosts the Pittsburgh Pirates Friday with a current total of 7.5.

Volquez has been lights out at Kauffman Stadium

Edinson Volquez must be really enjoying his offseason decision to go to Kansas City as the pitcher is 4-1 while the Royals are 5-1 with him on the mound at Kauffman Stadium.

In KC, Volquez has posted a 2.19 ERA while allowing opposing batters to hit a mere .176 across 37 innings of work.

The Royals are currently -156 when they host the Rangers Friday.
