Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

Top six QBs in passing yardage in NFL history.......

6) John Elway 51,475-- Now he's a pretty good team executive.

5) Tom Brady 53,258-- Think he'll watch DirecTV the first four weeks?

4) Drew Brees 56,033-- Saints are expected to run ball more this year.

3) Dan Marino 61,361-- Only guy on this list who never won a Super Bowl

2) Peyton Manning 69,691-- Brother Eli is number 15 in passing yards.

1) Brett Favre 71,838-- Is an offensive coordinator at a Mississippi high school.

**********

Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend......

13) Difference between first and second place at the US Open was $720,000; thats how much Dustin Johnson's 3-putt on 18th green cost him Sunday night in Tacoma. Dramatic ending to an interesting week of golf.

12) Johnson didn't seem all that upset after the dramatic finish; he made $1M+ for the week, he's engaged to Paulina Gretzky, his life is pretty damn good, he just didn't get the championship trophy. He'll win a major eventually.

11) Louis Oosthuizen shot 29 on the back side Sunday, damn near snuck into a playoff today; he shot 77 Thursday, has to be kicking himself for that.

10) Tom Brady got paid $170K for a speech at Salem State last month; he donated all that money to charity. Not sure why they paid him $170K, but they did.

9) It is June 22 and Albert Pujols already has ten homers this month; teams had been walking Mike Trout intentionally in key spots to pitch to Pujols, which at the time we said was stupid and I'm sticking with that. Pujols can still crush the ball.

8) I'm grocery shopping this weekend and noticed Steph Curry on a Wheaties box; didn't know they still did that. Wheaties are horrible, but it is cool that guys like Curry gets recognized for their excellence.

7) If you're a blood donor in Sweden, they text you when the blood you donated gets used by another person. Must make people feel good.

6) Opening Day baseball rosters this year, there were 83 players from the Dominican Republic, 65 from Venezuela, 18 from Cuba.

5) Florida State hired former SE Missouri State hoop coach Dickey Nutt as its video coordinator/dirctor of ops. Nutt is way over-qualified for the post and he cannot go off-campus to recruit, but he'll be a big help to old friend Leonard Hamilton's program.

4) Rough weekend in Washington for the Pirates, who came into the nation's capital on an 8-game win streak- they got outscored 19-3 in a three-game sweep, and got no-hit by Max Scherzer Saturday.

3) Mets didn't fare any better in Atlanta; they're 3-16 in last 19 road games, 56-103 at Turner Field. At 36-35, they're a pretty big disappointment. Matt Harvey is very good, but they're still just 3-6 in his last nine starts.

2) Orioles 13, Blue Jays 9-- Game was 7-6 in second inning. Then there are the White Sox, who scored 11 runs in their last seven games. Not good.

1) Vanderbilt-Virginia start best-of-3 College World Series tonight in Omaha.

MLB roundup: Tigers' Martinez hits 3 homers vs. Yanks

NEW YORK -- J.D. Martinez hit three home runs and drove in six runs as the Detroit Tigers roughed up Masahiro Tanaka and snapped a four-game losing streak with an 12-4 rout of the New York Yankees on Sunday.

Martinez hit his first home run during Detroit's four-run first when he drove a 0-1 fastball from Tanaka (4-3) to the loading dock over the left-center field wall. His second home run opened the fifth when he sent a first pitch curveball over the center field wall adjacent to Monument Park and that gave him his first career two-homer game.

Martinez became the first Tiger to get three home runs in a game since first baseman Miguel Cabrera on May 19, 2013, when he hit a 1-1 fastball from rookie reliever Danny Burawa into the first row of the second deck in right field with one out in the sixth.

Victor Martinez also homered and drove in four runs for the Tigers. In his third game off the disabled list, he hit a two-run home run with two outs in the first and added a two-run single in the second.

Indians 1, Rays 0

CLEVELAND -- David Murphy's sacrifice fly with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning drove in the winning run as Cleveland shut out Tampa Bay.

Roberto Perez led off the bottom of the ninth with a single to left off right-hander Kevin Jepsen (1-5). Jason Kipnis singled to right, extending his hitting streak to 15 games. Perez went to third on the hit by Kipnis, Francisco Lindor flied out to left for the first out and Michael Brantley was intentionally walked, loading the bases. Murphy then hit a fly ball that was caught by center fielder Kevin Kiermaier, but the throw was a fraction of a second late to get the sliding Perez.

The win went to right-hander Cody Allen (1-2), who pitched the top of the ninth. Right-hander Cody Anderson, in his major league debut, was impressive, pitching 7 2/3 scoreless innings on six hits, with four strikeouts and one walk.

Reds 5, Marlins 2

CINCINNATI -- Jay Bruce snapped a 2-2 tie with a two-run homer and rookie Michael Lorenzen settled down to turn in seven solid innings as Cincinnati bounced back to beat Miami.

Todd Frazier also hit a two-run homer, and Lorenzen helped himself with an RBI single as the Reds completed a 3-1 homestand in which one game was lost to rain.

Lorenzen (3-2) lasted seven innings for the second time this season, allowing seven hits and two runs with one intentional walk and five strikeouts.

Nationals 9, Pirates 2

WASHINGTON -- Yunel Escobar had two hits in the first inning, including a three-run homer, and Bryce Harper contributed to the record-setting frame with a two-run homer as Washington swept the three-game series.

Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez (5-4), who gave up five runs in his last start, allowed just four hits and no runs in seven innings before Matt Thornton took over in the eighth. First-place Washington has won seven in a row over the second-place Pirates.

The Nationals set a franchise record of 24 innings in a row without allowing a run when Thornton set down the side in the eighth. Corey Hart hit a two-run homer in the ninth off Felipe Rivero to ruin the shutout bid by a trio of lefties.

Phillies 9, Cardinals 2

PHILADELPHIA -- Adam Morgan made a successful major league debut and got some much-needed offense from a lineup that had been struggling for weeks, as Philadelphia salvaged the series finale with St. Louis.

Morgan (1-0), who was notified late in the week that he would be moving up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to replace right-handed pitcher Seth Rosin, exited the game to raucous applause after throwing 5 2/3 innings, allowing just one run on six hits and striking out six batters on 78 pitches, 54 of which were strikes. He became the first Phillies starter to earn a win since May 23, a franchise-record span of 25 starts without a victory for the rotation.

The Phillies' offense made it easy for him, scoring more runs than it had in any game this season. The Phillies hit the scoreboard first in the bottom of the second inning in a big way, scoring three runs on Cardinals starter Michael Wacha (9-3).

Orioles 13, Blue Jays 9

TORONTO -- J.J. Hardy singled in the go-ahead run in a four-run ninth inning as Baltimore defeated Toronto.

Ryan Flaherty followed with a two-run triple against Blue Jays left-hander Brett Cecil (1-4.). The Orioles squandered a 7-0 lead and fell behind 9-7 before tying the game in the seventh on a single by Hardy.

Right-handed reliever Darren O'Day (4-0) earned the win for the second game in a row as the Orioles took the rubber match of the three-game series.

Cubs 8, Twins 0

MINNEAPOLIS -- Jake Arrieta threw a complete-game shutout, allowing just four hits and striking out seven as Chicago won the rubber match of a three-game series against Minnesota.

Arrieta improved to 7-5 and lowered his season ERA to 3.07. He retired 12 in a row between the fourth and eighth innings. The Cubs had 30 hits over the final two games of the series.

Anthony Rizzo had two hits, including a solo homer, and Dexter Fowler had a grand slam for the Cubs.

Red Sox 13, Royals 2

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- David Ortiz hit a milestone home run and Xander Bogaerts stroked three doubles and drove in three runs as Boston thrashed Kansas City Royals.

The Red Sox set season highs with runs, eight doubles and 13 extra-base hits. Left-hander Wade Miley (7-7) stymied the Royals on five hits, while striking out two and walking three in six scoreless innings.The Red Sox's 16-hit attack included three hits each by Mookie Betts, Brock Holt, Dustin Pedroia and Bogaerts.

Ortiz led off the fourth with his 476th career home run, passing Hall of Famers Stan Musial and Willie Stargell for 28th on the all-time list.

White Sox 3, Rangers 2 (11 innings)

CHICAGO -- Gordon Beckham hit his first career walk-off home run in the 11th inning to give the White Sox their second straight win after losing eight straight games.

Beckham, who had replaced Conor Gillaspie at third base in the 10th inning, launched the game-winning solo shot off Rangers reliever Alex Claudio (1-1).

White Sox reliever Jake Petricka (2-2) pitched out of bases-loaded, one-out jam in the top of the 11th to get the win.

The Rangers had tied the game 2-2 in the seventh inning on a solo home run by center fielder Leonys Martin.

Diamondbacks 7, Padres 2

PHOENIX -- Arizona All-Star candidates Paul Goldschmidt and A.J. Pollock had two-run singles, and right-hander Jeremy Hellickson struck out a season-high seven in the Diamondbacks' victory.

First baseman Goldschmidt and center fielder Pollock did their damage in a seven-run second inning off right-hander Andrew Cashner (2-9), who was victimized by two infield errors.

Hellickson (5-4) gave up two runs and six hits and did not walk a batter in six innings while making the fifth quality start in his last six. Hellickson also had an RBI when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the second, the Diamondbacks' biggest inning of the season.

Andrew Chafin had a three-inning save for Arizona, which has won seven of its last 10 games.

A's 3, Angels 2

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Scott Kazmir gave up one run over 7 1/3 innings, and Oakland defeated Los Angeles at the O.co Coliseum, taking two of three games to win the series. Kazmir had lost four straight starts against the Angels, one of his three former teams, before ending that streak.

Albert Pujols hit his American League-leading 21st home run, a two-run shot in the eighth inning off closer Tyler Clippard, cutting Oakland's lead to 3-2.

Garrett Richards (7-5) gave up three runs on eight hits over seven innings as his two-game winning streak ended. It was his third straight quality start since allowing six runs on five hits in just two-thirds of an inning in an 8-2 loss to the Yankees on June 6.

Rockies 10, Brewers 4

DENVER -- Colorado ended a long, disappointing stretch of games with a one-sided win over Milwaukee that gave the Rockies their third victory in 12 games.

Charlie Blackmon had a season-high four RBIs, and Nick Hundley tied his career high with four hits. Troy Tulowitzki drove in three runs, and Nolan Arenado homered.

Chris Rusin rebounded from two poor starts to pitch six strong innings as the Rockies won the rubber game of the series, giving them consecutive victories for the first time since June 8-9.

Braves 1, Mets 0

ATLANTA -- Julio Teheran allowed just one hit over seven shutout innings while outdueling Matt Harvey in Atlanta's victory over New York at Turner Field.

The win gave Atlanta a sweep of the three-game series and handed New York its fifth consecutive loss. Atlanta pulled within a half-game of the Mets for second place in the National League East. The Braves trail the first-place Washington Nationals by two games.

The Braves broke the scoreless tie in the seventh inning. Ryan Lavarnway doubled high off the wall in left field with two outs and scored on a pinch-hit single to shallow center field by Pedro Ciriaco.

Astros 6, Mariners 2

SEATTLE -- Houston piled up 10 hits, including home runs from Colby Rasmus and George Springer, to snap its two-game losing streak with a win over Seattle.

Rasmus broke open a close game with a two-out, two-run shot off Seattle reliever Tom Wilhelmsen in the seventh inning, giving the Astros a 5-2 lead. Springer added a solo shot to lead off the ninth.

Seven different Houston players had hits in the win, with Springer going 3-for-5 and Rasmus added a pair of hits on a day when the Astros used six pitchers. The Houston bullpen allowed only one hit over the final 5 2/3 innings, with reliever Will Harris (4-0) earning the win.

Dodgers 10, Giants 2

LOS ANGELES -- Yasmani Grandal hit two of Los Angeles' four home runs in a rout of San Francisco in front of 53,509 at Dodger Stadium.

The Dodgers used the victory to extend their lead over the second-place Giants in the National League West to 1 1/2 games, and to salvage one contest in the three-game weekend series.

Grandal and Adrian Gonzalez each had three of the Dodgers' 16 hits. Gonzalez and Justin Turner added a homer apiece, with Turner driving in three runs.

Inclement weather expected to impact this game

It's going to be a windy night at Wrigley Field for Monday's Cubs-Dodgers contest, a forecast that won't appeal to the men on the mound.

The Windy City is living up to its name as gusts of 20 mph blowing out to dead center are expected at game time. Inclement weather could play a factor as well, evidenced by a 74 percent chance of precipitation in the form of thunderstorms heading to the Chicago area an hour after play begins.

Oddsmakers have pegged the Cubs as +165 pups with a total of 9.

Angels place Weaver on disabled list

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Right-hander Jered Weaver's rough season turned even worse Sunday when he

was placed on the 15-day disabled list with inflammation in his left hip.

Weaver will have a battery of tests Monday, including an MRI.

"I think it just got to a point in the last couple starts where you see mechanically he's not where he wants to be," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said before the Angels' 3-2 loss to Oakland. "His shoulder, his arm feels great, but we have to find out exactly what's going on and hopefully reset and get him back out there."

Weaver is 4-8 with a 4.75 ERA and has lost four straight starts, matching his longest such skid of his career.

Cardinals ready to activate RHP Lynn

The team with the best record in baseball looks to get stronger later this week.

St. Louis right-hander Lance Lynn will come off the 15-day disabled list Thursday and face off against the Miami Marlins.

Lynn landed on the disabled list with a right forearm strain and is eligible to be activated on Tuesday.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, manager Mike Matheny doesn't want to push back starts for right-hander Carlos Martinez and left-hander Jaime Garcia.

Matheny said Lynn passed every test on Sunday and that "he's good to go."

Lynn has compiled a 4-4 record with a 3.07 ERA.

Left-hander Tyler Lyons replaced Lynn in the rotation and made two starts -- both wins. Matheny was unsure if Lyons would stay in the bullpen or be sent back to Triple-A Memphis.

Mariners release INF Weeks

The Seattle Mariners on Sunday night released veteran second baseman Rickie Weeks. The team designated Weeks for assignment last week.

Weeks started at second for the Milwaukee Brewers for nearly a decade, but lost the job to Scooter Gennett.

He signed a one-year deal worth about $2 million with the Mariners. In 84 at-bats, he hit .167 with two homers and 9 RBIs for the Pirates.

Game of the Day: Royals at Mariners
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kansas City Royals at Seattle Mariners (-152, 6.5)

Felix Hernandez attempts to become the American League's first 11-game winner when the Seattle Mariners open a three-game series against the visiting Kansas City Royals on Monday. Hernandez has won at least 15 games only twice in his stellar career but has a solid chance to surpass that mark and perhaps match - or eclipse - his career-high 19 victories from 2009.

Hernandez outdueled San Francisco ace Madison Bumgarner in his last start, when he allowed just four hits over eight scoreless innings. Seattle won two of three over first-place Houston over the weekend but recorded just four hits in Sunday's 6-2 loss - its second game since Edgar Martinez replaced Howard Johnson as hitting coach. Kansas City leads the American League Central by 3 1/2 games but dropped two of three to lowly Boston, including a 13-2 drubbing on Sunday. This is the first time the teams have met this season after Seattle won five of seven against the Royals last year.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, FSN Kansas City, ROOT (Seattle)

LINE HISTORY: The Mariners opened as -160 favorites and have been bet down to -162. The total has held steady at 6.5 runs.

INJURY REPORT:

Kansas City - SP D. Duffy (probable Wednesday, bicep), SP Y. Ventura (15-day DL, hand), SP J. Vargas (15-day DL, hip).

Seattle - RP - D. Rollins (July 4, suspension), SP H. Iwakuma (Late June, back), SP J. Paxton (15-day DL, finger).

PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Joe Blanton (1-0, 1.80 ERA) vs. Mariners RH Felix Hernandez (10-3, 3.08)

Blanton emerged victorious in his first start since 2013 as he allowed one run and five hits in five innings against Milwaukee on Wednesday. He pitched well in relief for Kansas City before landing the start and has recorded 17 strikeouts against three walks in 20 frames this season. Blanton is 8-7 with a 3.69 ERA in 18 career starts against the Mariners.

Hernandez was just 3-3 over a six-start span prior to the superb outing against the Giants, including the worst start of his career in which he was battered for eight runs while registering just one out against Houston on June 12. He has struggled this month, allowing 16 runs and 17 hits over 20 innings for an unsightly 7.20 ERA. Hernandez is 4-4 with a 2.80 ERA in 11 career outings against Kansas City.

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-0 in Hernandez's last four starts against the Royals.
* Under is 4-1-1 in the last six meetings in Seattle.
* Royals are 1-4 in the last five meetings.
* Mariners are 7-1 in Hernandez's last eight starts as a favorite between -152 and -200.

CONSENSUS: So far 57.42 percent of wagers are being paced on the Mariners.

MLB betting cheat sheet: A tale of two teams in the city that doesn’t sleep
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a comprehensive look at betting notes for this week’s major-league schedule:

Mets not so amazin’

Once 10 games over .500 at 13-3, the New York Mets are one loss away from an even record at 36-36 after losing five in a row, mainly because their bats have gone to sleep. New York has scored a mere six runs in its last five games. The team has not crossed the plate more than four times in any outing since June 14.

Mr. 3000

Alex Rodriguez’s 3000th hit last Friday did not exactly come out of nowhere. This has been a season of surprising consistency for the New York Yankees’ slugger. Rodriguez (.282, 14 HR, 40 RBI) has been in especially fine form of late. He is on a five-game hitting streak and his average has climbed from .267 since last Wednesday. The Yankees are 4-0 O/U in their last four overall.

Rocky road for Kendrick

Kyle Kendrick and the Colorado Rockies will host the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday, and that may not be a good thing. Colorado, which is 3-9 in its last 12 overall, is 0-4 in Kendrick’s last four starts and 0-4 in his last four home starts. The veteran righty is 2-9 with a 5.95 ERA this season.

Pitching Notes

* He is not quite on a Max Scherzer stretch of two games, but St. Louis' Cardinals' southpaw Jaime Garcia has not given up a single run in any of his last two outings. In 28 innings over four June starts, Garcia has surrendered three earned runs. He will toss again at the Miami Marlins on Wednesday.

* After two disastrous outings in his last three, Seattle Mariners' ace Felix Hernandez baffled the San Francisco Giants for no runs in eight innings last Wednesday. He will take the mound against the visiting Kansas City Royals on Monday. King Felix is 6-2 with a 2.59 ERA at home compared to a 3.86 mark on the road.

Hitting Notes

* The three home runs hit by Detroit Tigers' right fielder J.D. Martinez on Sunday were by no means his first instances of success in 2015. Martinez (.275, 16 HR, 41 RBI) has hit safely in seven of his last eight games with five multi-hit performances in that span. The over is 4-0 in Detroit's last four overall.

* The Milwaukee Brewers have lost eight of their last nine games. During this stretch they have scored two runs or fewer on five occasions. Outfielder Ryan Braun is batting .209 this month and third baseman Aramis Ramirez has a .197 average in June.

Totals Streak

Tampa Bay Rays (28-40-3 O/U): The Rays have been a consistently strong under play and they have certainly delivered in that department of late. All three of their games at the Cleveland Indians this past weekend stayed under the total and the under is 4-1 in their last four overall. Tampa Bay has allowed only one run in each of its last three outings and it has limited opponents to one run or fewer in five of its last seven games.

Injury Notes

* Atlanta Braves' first baseman Freddie Freeman has not played since last Wednesday because of a wrist injury. With 12 dingers and 41 RBIs to go along with a .299 average, Freeman is Atlanta’s biggest power threat at the plate. Stay tuned for results of an MRI that is scheduled for Monday.

* Toronto Blue Jays' second baseman Devon Travis is expected to make his return sometime this week. Travis has not played since May 16 due to a shoulder problem. Toronto must be eagerly anticipating the comeback, because Travis was hitting .271 with seven homers and 26 RBIs through 36 games.

Twins have dominated Danks at home

Historically speaking, the Twins have been anything but Minnesota nice to Chicago White Sox left-hander John Danks at home.

In Danks' last 14 starts in Minny, the ChiSox are a paltry 2-12. Over bettors have been cashing in rapidly recently, evidenced by each of the 30-year-old's previous eight outings in the North Star State going above the closing total.

The South Siders will seek to buck that trend when they send Danks to the bump at Target Field Monday. The Twinkies are slated to counter with Tommy Milone.

Sportsbooks are presently offering the Pale Hose in the +132 ballpark. The total opened at 8.5 but has moved north a half-point to 9 as of this writing.

Which team is on fire for Over bettors?

In the Houston Astros' last 10 games, the Over is a scorching-hot 9-0-1.

The 'Stros have averaged 7.3 runs per game during that span while allowing 3 runs/game.

Brett Oberholtzer is Houston's probable starter for Monday's clash with the Los Angeles Angels. Left-hander Hector Santiago is scheduled to take the mound for the Halos.

Pinnacle Sports is presently dealing a total of 7.5 for the contest.
