Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Westgate Superbook's odds on random football games this coming fall..........

-- Week 8: Packers (-3.5) @ Atlanta

-- Week 9: Broncos @ Oakland (-1.5)

-- Week 10: Seahawks @ New England (-3.5)

-- Week 11: Bears @ NJ Giants (-4)

-- Week 12: Vikings (-1) @ Detroit

-- Week 13: Colts @ NJ Jets (-2.5)

**********

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

13) Warriors 118, Thunder 91-- No one on Oklahoma City had more than 9 points, other than Durant/Westbrook. They need a third double figure scorer to compete.

12) Knicks are apparently going to name Jeff Hornacek head coach; good coach, good basketball guy, but kind of feel about him the same way I felt when the Mets hired Art Howe as manager-- not very New York-ish. Sometimes that matters.

11) Chicago White Sox turned their second triple play of the season last night; they are first team since '07 Phillies to turn two triple plays in same season.

10) A's 8, Rangers 1-- Khris Davis has nine HRs, 20 RBI in first 18 days of May.

9) NBA playoff favorites of 8+ points are 19-6 vs spread this season.

8) Why is the price of gasoline 45 cents a gallon cheaper in New Jersey than here in New York? Is Crhis Christie that good a governor that his constituents don't get ripped off like we do? By the way, in New Jersey they put the gas in your car for you.

7) NBA Summer League will be July 8-18 at UNLV and on TV every day on NBA TV. Solid entertainment; I'll be out there for the AAU tournaments later in the month.

6) Illinois got good news: big man Mike Thorne got a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA, very important for John Groce's team.

5) More transfers, as number approaches 600 this year (there are 351 D-I teams):
-- Anthony Livingston goes from Arkansas State to Texas Tech.
-- Kendall Stephens goes from Purdue to Nevada

4) This will be the sixth NFL season for 49er QB Blaine Gabbert, who will have his sxith different head coach, sixth offensive coordinator, sixth QB coach. Oy.

3) Why would the Ravens intentionally break the NFL rule about not using full pads during rookie minicamps? Sounds like they did just that.

2) Minnesota Twins are 4-2 against the Cleveland Indians, 0-15 against the rest of the AL Central. No bueno. Minnesota is 5-12 in games where the winning run scores from the 7th inning on.

1) Werid story about Robert Griffin III and his relationship with his coaches in Washington; if that story is remotely true, Daniel Snyder is the worst owner in the NFL and the Browns may have made a colossal mistake acquiring RGIII, who appears to be a complete jerk if you believe the article, which is excerpted up above.

Thursday's Diamond Notes
May 19, 2016

Hottest team: Giants (7-0 last seven)
Johnny Cueto followed Madison Bumgarner's lead and pitched a complete game of his own in last night's 2-1 win over San Diego. Cueto continued San Francisco’s fantastic run of quality pitching, going the distance against the Padres for the second time this season. Bruce Bochy will certainly have a rested bullpen for this series finale as a result, but is hoping for another strong start from Jeff Samardzija (5-2, 2.88), whose worst outing thus far in 2016 came against the Pads.

Samardzija gave up five runs in just 5.2 innings and still got the win in a 13-9 home win. He's allowed four runs in the last 23.2 innings, which fits right in since the Giants have given up just nine runs over the past six games. San Francisco used the run to grab a 2.5-game lead over the Dodgers and Rockies in the NL West. It has seen the ‘under’ prevail in 10 of its last 11 games. James Shields (2-5, 3.12) takes the ball for host San Diego and has allowed more than a single run just once in his last four starts. He was a hard-luck 1-0 loser in an April 26 duel with Cueto. These NL West foes get together next week at AT&T Park after the Giants host the Cubs this weekend.

Coldest team: Twins (3-15 last 18)
The Blue Jays received consideration for this spot, having lost a league-high five straight at home, but they'll hit the road looking to get healthy against Minnesota, which has only won three series all season, two of which have come against Cleveland. The Twins were just swept by Detroit, getting outscored 23-13 over the three losses.
Minnesota has only played three home dates this month, but have lost its last six at Target Field, last winning on April 26. Ervin Santana (1-2, 3.38), coming off his first victory in a May 14 win over the Tribe, has been erratic thus far. Toronto will counter with Marco Estrada (1-2, 2.89), who hasn't won since his first start on April 10. He's earned no-decisions in four of his last five despite giving up a single run in three of those.

Hottest pitcher: Chris Sale (8-0, 1.67 ERA)
Sale will be looking to become the first pitcher to start a season 9-0 since Brandon Webb managed to in '08. Thus far, he's won every time out and hasn't given up more than two runs in a single appearance in his last six, a streak that dates back to April 9. Sale is coming off a complete game win over the Yankees last Friday and should have a fresh arm. Collin McHugh (4-3, 5.58) will pitch for the Astros and has won his last three decisions.

Coldest pitcher: Jeff Locke (1-3, 5.45 ERA)
The Pirates lefty closed April by pitching six shutout innnings in Denver, but he's been a mess in May, giving up 12 earned runs in 18.1 innings and walking six and striking just 10 over three starts. The Pirates haven't won in a single one of his outings this months, but are out to claim three of four from the Braves. Atlanta ace Julio Teheran allowed just one run yesterday after his teammates surrendered 20 over the first two games of this series, so Pittsburgh will be looking to rally in the finale against Mike Foltynewicz (1-1, 2.89).

Biggest UNDER run: Rockies (7-2 last nine)
Colorado has followed up its rather strong pitching at Coors Field by surrendering just three runs during the first two games of their nine-game road trip. Of course, they've only scored three runs themselves, splitting with the St. Louis and making a hard-luck loser out of lefty Chris Rusin, who shined but was denied in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Adam Wainwright. Hard-throwing Jon Gray (1-2, 4.71) takes the mound for the rubber game of the series finale and has allowed just four runs in his last 20 innings, sporting a 24-to-4 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The Cards counter with Michael Wacha (2-4, 3.23), who has lost his last four decisions.

Biggest OVER run: Indians (9-3-1 last 13)
Cleveland had outscored the Reds 28-7 over the first two games of this series, then grabbed in-state bragging rights for the season in style, or heartbreaking fashion as far as Cincinnati is concerned. Rajai Davis tied last night's game with a two-run homer in the top of the 9th, extending Cincy's bullpen woes, while Francisco Lindor ended up winning it in the 12th with a homer that held up as the difference. The Indians have scored at least seven runs in six games during this stretch despite seeing heavy-hitter Michael Brantley return to the DL earlier towards the beginning of this run. They'll look to complete the sweep by sending unbeaten Josh Tomlin (5-0, 3.82) to the mound against rookie Tim Adleman (1-1, 3.38), who comes off his first career loss.

Matchup to watch: Nationals at Mets
Bryce Harper is an astounding 0-for-20 in his career against Matt Harvey (3-5, 4.93), striking out seven times. Seeing whether that streak will end is worth tuning in alone, but the fact Stephen Strasburg (6-0, 2.95) is looking to remain perfect makes it spicier. He’s 4-0 on the road, winning every one of his outings and allowing just five runs in 27 innings. He was 1-2 against New York last season, but has had his share against the Mets over the years. His mastery of Harper suggests Harvey should have a better record than just 3-3 against the Nats over his career, but he’s had a few hard-luck losses in spite of a 1.78 career ERA. Washington will be facing a 2016 version that has often looked unrecognizable, coming off giving up a season-worst 11 hits and five runs in just 5.2 innings in Colorado. He’s yet to get out of the seventh inning, so we’ll see if the Dark Knight can rise up here to take out Strasburg’s perfect mark. Harvey has won the previous two head-to-head matchups.

Betcha didn’t know: Although the Angels got out of the gate slowly, it's still wild that Wednesday's win marked just their second sellout of the season, the first since falling to the Cubs 9-0 on Opening night. The Freeway Series is good for business, even if a lot of those fans that come to Angel Stadium arrive dressed in blue. With catcher Geovany Soto going on the DL, the bad injury luck has continued, but L.A. has won five of six for the first time all season and sends Jhoulys Chacin (1-2, 4.81) to the mound for the second time since acquiring him from Atlanta. He pitched well in his debut, allowing just two runs over seven innings in Seattle last Saturday. A win over the Dodgers would be the Angels' first Freeway Series triumph since 2012. The teams tied in '13 and the Dodgers had won eight of 10 entering this season. It would probably help the cause if Adrian Gonzalez misses a second straight game due to back tightness. He's questionable.

Biggest public favorite: Cubs (-160) at Brewers

Biggest public underdog: Padres (+135) vs. Giants

Biggest line move: Rockies (+138 to +115) at Cardinals

LEADING OFF: Sale goes for 9-0, Strasburg faces Harvey
May 19, 2016

A look at what's happening all around the majors today:

SALE ON

Chris Sale (8-0, 1.67 ERA) tries to become the majors' first nine-game winner when the White Sox host the Astros. Sale would be just the second White Sox pitcher to begin 9-0 after Eddie Cicotte won his first 12 starts in 1919. The last major leaguer to start 9-0 was Brandon Webb in 2008. Collin McHugh (4-3, 5.58) pitches for Houston.

ROUND 3

Washington ace Stephen Strasburg (6-0, 2.95 ERA) and Mets RHP Matt Harvey (3-5, 4.93) square off for the third time in the majors. Harvey has beaten Strasburg in both previous matchups, but things are going much better for the Nationals star this season. Strasburg recently agreed to a $175 million, seven-year contract, and Washington has won his past 12 starts dating to last year. Meanwhile, Harvey, not eligible for free agency until after the 2018 season, is struggling through the toughest stretch of his career. He'll try to extend his dominance against slugger Bryce Harper - the reigning NL MVP is 0 for 20 with seven strikeouts and three walks vs. Harvey.

GREEN GIANTS

The Athletics send out the suddenly unstoppable duo of Khris Davis and Danny Valencia to begin a four-game series against the Yankees. Davis followed Tuesday's three-homer performance - which included a walk-off grand slam- with another homer Wednesday in an 8-1 win over the Rangers. Valencia, meanwhile, had a three-homer game on May 15 and is hitting .414 with six homers this month.

FOR A GOOD CAUSE

Brad Ausmus made headlines with his rant and ejection from Monday night's win against Minnesota. Now he's making a little money off it, too. Ausmus donated the sweatshirt and cap he used to cover home plate during his argument, and MLB.com Auctions has made both items available in a weeklong auction. By 6 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, 13 bids had pushed the price up to $360. ''I wasn't proud of the tirade, but let's get something good out of it,'' Ausmus said.

GRAY MATTER

Jon Gray (2-2, 4.71) has been dominant of late for the Rockies and tries to keep that up in a start at St. Louis. Gray was the third overall pick in the 2013 draft and has a 1.80 ERA over his last three starts. Gray's average fastball velocity has spiked nearly a full mph to 95.3 this season, helping him land among the league leaders in strikeouts-per-nine-innings.
