Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

College football recruiting notes, from Phil Steele's magazine.......

-- Six of the top ten freshman classes this year are in the SEC.

-- Jim Harbaugh had a late start, brought in the #40 recruiting class this year.

-- Top four freshman QBs are at: UCLA-Texas A&M-Alabama-Ohio State.

-- UNLV hired Tony Sanchez as coach, from Bishop Gorman HS, a regional power, but he brought in only the 107th ranked recruiting class.

-- One of his players ar Bishop Gorman was Cordell Broadus, who is going to UCLA; he is the #35 WR, and is Snoop Dawg's son.

-- Boise State brought in Brett Rypien, the #24 QB, the nephew of former NFL QB Mark Rypien.

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind...........

13) Alex Rodriguez got his 3,000th hit last night with a home run, only third player ever to do that; he is hitting .278 with a .384 OB%, Bronx is 37-30, in the middle of a playoff race, but no one sees to want to give ol' A-Rod credit. Go figure.

12) So much of A-Rod's career has been about money; ironic that the guy who caught the home run ball last night, A-Rod's 3000th hit, is Zack Hample, a 37-year-old from NYC who has caught more than 8,000 baseballs in batting practice-- and even wrote a book about it. He says he is keeping the ball, which is estimated to be worth $50K+.

11) The CEO and COO of the Bronx Bombers even went out to try and talk the guy out of keeping the ball. My godson said if he had the ball, he would ask ARod for one game's salary for the ball, roughly $136,400. Wonder if that would've worked.

Guy on Twitter said he would start the bidding at a million bucks.

10) Scary moment at the US Open, when Jason Day collapsed on the 9th fairway, his last hole of the day. Day has been batting vertigo and had an attack at the end of his round. He managed to finish the last hole, but no word if he will be able to play the third round today. He is -2 and in contention.

9) It is good to be a pro golfer; their courtesy cars this week are Lexus SUVs.

8) Six golfers in the US Open this week won an NCAA singles championship; seven others are former US Amateur champs.

7) Someone ht a 7-iron 226 yards yesterday, at which point Jack Nicklaus probably threw something at his TV. Modern equipment is really, really good.

6) FOX is doing its first US Open; one addition that is a big help-- when a putt is rolling towards the hole or a ball is in the air, they keep the player's name who hit the shot on the screen. How has no one ever thought of that before?

5) Non-ARod oddity in the Bronx last night; both teams had a runner picked off first base in the first inning. Not sure I've ever seen that before.

4) Texas 2, White Sox 1-- Chicago's Chris Sale is third pitcher in baseball history with five consecutive starts of 12+ strikeouts; he allowed 17 hits in his last 37.1 IP, with six walks and 65 strikeouts. This was a brutal loss for the White Sox last night.

3) Braves 2, Mets 1-- Similar doings in Atlanta, where Jacob deGrom was vicitimized by left side of his infield, which continues to be suspect. Mets have a chance to make the playoffs, but not unless their defense tightens up- they're now 3-14 in their last 17 road games, which is not the mark of a playoff team.

2) Angels 12, A's 7-- You're up 7-2 in 7th inning with Sonny Gray pitching; what are odds you don't win? Top of 7th inning of this fiasco was so ugly, I had to turn it off and watched this movie Whiplash, about a music teacher who emotionally tormented his students to try and get their maximum performance out of them.

JK Simmons (the guy in the Farmers' Insurance commercials) won an Oscar for his portrayal of the teacher who was such a bastard one of his students physically attacked him and another one took his own life. Disturbing movie.

1) If you caught A-Rod's 3,000th hit, what would you charge him for it?

Just how good are the Jays at home with Buehrle?

The Toronto Blue Jays love playing behind Marc Buehrle in the Great White North, which is the situation they find themselves in once again Saturday afternoon when the Baltimore Orioles come to town.

Toronto is 5-1 in Buehrle's last six outings at Rogers Centre. Countering for the O's is Kevin Gausman.

Oddsmakers have priced the Bluebirds as -120 favorites for the AL East tilt.


Under bettors are loving this squad lately

The Under has paid out in five out of the last six times the Minnesota Twins have taken the diamond.

Minny plays host to the Chicago Cubs in an interleague affair Saturday. Trevor May is slated to take the bump for the Twinkies, while Jon Lester is the probable starter for the Cubbies.

Pinnacle Sports is currently offering the Twins as +102 pups with a total of 8.5.

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

San Francisco Giants at Los Angeles Dodgers (-150, 7.5)

The Dodgers have lost four of their last five and need more production from their entire lineup, including shortstop Jimmy Rollins, who is mired in a 6-for-47 slump and has seen his batting average plummet to .197. Manager Don Mattingly shook up his lineup Friday and had Yasiel Puig in the leadoff spot for the first time this season, but he went 0-for-5 in the Dodgers’ 9-5 loss. San Francisco’s outfield received a boost Friday with the return of Gregor Blanco, who missed nine days due to a concussion. With Hunter Pence (wrist) expected to miss at least another two weeks, Blanco will platoon with Justin Maxwell in right field and serve as Angel Pagan’s primary backup in center.

TV: 7:15 p.m. ET, CSN Bay Area (San Francisco), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles)

LINE HISTORY: Books opened the Dodgers as -142 faves, but have since adjusted that number to -150.

INJURY REPORT: Giants - M. Scutaro, H. Pence, J. Peavy, M. Cain. Dodgers - C. Hatcher, J. Peralta, P. Rodriguez, P. Baez, B. League, C. Crawford, H. Ryu, B. McCarthy, B. Beachy.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants RH Tim Hudson (4-6, 4.65 ERA) vs. Dodgers RH Carlos Frias (4-4, 4.14)

Hudson has failed to pitch past the fifth inning in each of his last two starts, including last Monday when he yielded three runs over five frames in a 5-1 loss to Seattle. The 17-year veteran is 7-6 with a 3.80 ERA in 18 career starts against the Dodgers, including 6 1/3 scoreless innings in the Giants’ 2-0 victory on May 19. Adrian Gonzalez is 10-for-29 with two home runs against Hudson while Puig is 5-for-11 with two homers.

Frias is looking to bounce back from a rough outing against Texas last Monday, when he allowed four runs on five hits over 5 1/3 innings. The 25-year-old is 1-1 with a 2.61 ERA in three career games (one start) against the Giants, including six innings of one-run ball on May 19. Frias has issued 17 walks in 54 1/3 innings, including seven over his last three outings.

TRENDS:

*Giants are 5-2 in Hudsons last 7 road starts.
*Over is 6-1 in Giants last 7 games following a win.
*Giants are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.
*Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Los Angeles.
