Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

-- Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz is 20-30 in games decided by 4 or less points.

-- Bret Bielema lost his last 11 games decided by 7 or less points; seven at Arkansas, four when he was at Wisconsin.

-- Combining NFL/UCLA days, Jim Mora Jr is 15-9 in games decided by 4 or less.

-- Tough day for Felix Hernandez; 2.1 IP, 12 hits 10 earned runs. Not good. When you face 20 batters and half of them score, thats a tough day.

-- Good day for Jackie Bradley, who batted 9th; three doubles, two homers, five runs scored, seven RBI. Best day ever by a 9th-place hitter?

-- School started Friday in Fort Collins, CO; why start school on a Friday?


**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Things I think, things I don't think......

13) I don't think Eldrick Woods enjoys playing competitive golf anymore.

12) I think the NFL season should be: two preseason games, 18 in regular season, with the Super Bowl Sunday night of Presidents Day weekend. Then the Daytona 500 could be Saturday night and it is the best sports weekend of the year.

11) I think 95% of sports bars don't have a clue; place near my house Saturday afternoon had no golf, no NFL Network on. they have boxing, Little League and a freakin' talk show on. Stupid. Graney's on New Scotland Ave is still the best sports bar in this area and thats not counting the very attractive bartenders they have.

10) I don't think Little League games should be on national TV. Ever.

9) I think at some point, John Elway is going to realize that John Fox is a better coach than Gary Kubiak. Fox got to a Super Bowl with Jake freakin' Delhomme at QB. Now I know Elway and Kubiak are buddies from their playing days, but still......

8) I don't think anyone named Clinton or Bush should run for President next year. It is clear people are dissatisfied with our government; thats how a crackpot like Donald Trump leads a lot of polls. Anyone different is better than the status quo.

7) I think the designated hitter has its place: spring training and All-Star Games.

6) I still can't believe Kansas hired Charlie Weis as its football coach and is still paying him; not only that, Notre Dame is also still paying this fraud of a coach.

5) I think HBO's Hard Knocks would be the best show on TV if it carried thru an entire regular season; the stuff we don't see when the emotions run highest, during the regular season. Coaches' meetings might be the best part of it all.

4) I don't think Seattle's Lloyd McClendon should be a major league manager.

3) Now that I'm retired, I am amazed how terrible weekday daytime television is; awful talk shows, idiots getting paid huge money to provoke controversy. If not for all the CSI/NCIS/Law and Order reruns, it would be even worse. Game shows need to make a comeback-- daytime TV was better when I was a kid. Game shows are fun.

Side note: as I am typing this, White Sox are losing to the Cubs again: they just gave away a run on a throwing error. Hawk Harrelson's analysis: "You've got to be bleepin' me". Good stuff. He actually said "bleepin'"

2) I don't think we're as creative a culture as we used to be; reality TV is 95% crap, and that might be a low figure. The most entertaining stuff on TV is CNN and the real life shenanigans that happen in Washington DC. Now THAT is quality reality TV.

1) I think of the 32 current NFL head coaches, only ones who are getting in the Hall of Fame are Tom Coughlin and Bill Belichick.

Small chance of thunderstorms in Minnesota

According to weather forecasts, there is around a 30 to 45 percent possibility of thunderstorms when the Minnesota Twins host the Cleveland Indians at Target Field Sunday afternoon.

Conditions should be fine leading into gametime with probability of thunderstorms increasing as the game progresses.

Temperatures will be in the low-80s with wind blowing across the field at around 10 miles per hour.


Blue Jays not capitalizing on RISP opportunites

The Toronto Blue Jays began their series against the New York Yankees with a 0.5-game lead in the AL East, but are on the verge of being swept if they lose Sunday.

The Jays biggest problem over the past two games? Cashing in runners in scoring position. Jays' bats are just 1-17 with RISP in the series.

Toronto's lack of punch has ensured Over bettors have cashed, however, as the Under has gone 2-0 in the series and has actually cashed in six-straight meetings between the AL East rivals.

Pirates cashing Under bets with Rackley umpiring

Under wagers have gone 8-0 in the last eight Pittsburgh Pirates games that umpire David Rackley has worked behind home plate. Rackley is slated to work the dish when the Pirates visit the New York Mets Sunday afternoon.

Included in the streak a pair of Buccos games this season. Rackley was calling balls and strikes when the Pirates lost to the Detroit Tigers 2-0 on April 14 and when Pittsburgh defeated the Miami Marlins 5-1 on May 26.

Season to date, the Over/Under count 6-9 in Rackley's 19 games working behind home plate.

Jeff Locke is scheduled to pitch for the Pirates while the Mets are expected to counter with Matt Harvey. The total is presently 7.


Total on the move in Indians-Twins matchup

The total for Sunday's meeting between the Cleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins has gone up to 8.0 from the opening 7.5 earlier Sunday morning.

The first two meetings in this three-game set had both stayed under the closing number with Cleveland winning 6-1 on Friday and Minnesota winning 4-1 Saturday.

Carlos Carrasco is expected to take the mound for the Indians while Tommy Milone is slated to get the ball for the Twins.


Saturday a big day for MLB Over bettors

The Over went 10-5 in 15 MLB games on the board Saturday, good enough to cash in at a rate of 66.67 percent on the day.

Season to date, the Over has the slight edge with a record of 827-820 heading into Sunday's schedule.

Braves have been toxic for bettors in Miller's starts

Despite pitching reasonably well, the Atlanta Braves have gone 0-10 in the last 10 ball games started by Shelby Miller.

The 24-year-old gets just 2.74 runs of support per start - the lowest in Major League Baseball heading into Sunday's action.

Miller heads into Sunday's start with a 5-9 record but owns a 2.48 ERA and 1.17 WHIP - both numbers good enough to place him in the top 15 among NL starters in each category.

The Braves host the Arizona Diamondbacks Sunday afternoon. Miller is expected to get the ball while the Dbacks are slated to counter with Rubby De La Rosa.


Mariners need strong outing from Nuno Sunday

The Seattle Mariners could use a long outing from starting pitcher Vidal Nuno when they face the Boston Red Sox Sunday afternoon.

The Mariners bullpen has pitched a combined 11 1/3 innings of work the previous two games as Mike Montgomery was chased after just 2 1/3 innings in a 15-1 loss Friday and Felix Hernandez allowed 10 runs over the same number of innings in Saturday's football-like 22-10 scoreline Saturday.

Nuno and the Mariners are presently +104 while the Red Sox, who are expected to start Henry Owens, are currently around -113. The total opened and has remained at 9.


Oakland abysmal against AL East opposition

Let's face it, the Oakland A's are a pretty terrible ball club across the board this season, but they have really struggled against clubs from the American League East.

Heading into Sunday's contest against the Baltimore Orioles, the A's have lost 14 of their last 17 ball games against AL East foes.

The A's have dropped the first two against the O's, and were swept by the Toronto Blue Jays prior to visiting Baltimore. Oakland's last win against the AL East came against these Orioles back on Aug. 4 when they prevailed 5-0 at home.

Baltimore is presently -166 with Wei-Yin Chen expected to start. Oakland (+153) is scheduled to hand the ball to Kendall Graveman.
