Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Odds to win the College World Series, with Super Regionals this week

-- 5-1-- Florida, Louisville, Mississippi State, Texas A&M

-- 6-1-- Miami-- Stadium is named after A-Rod, but he never played there.

-- 7-1-- LSU-- Les Miles should coach first for a couple innings.

-- 10-1-- Texas Tech-- Wouldn't want to pitch in Lubbock if wind is blowing out.

-- 12-1-- South Carolina-- Not a lot of northern teams on this list.

-- 25-1-- Coastal Carolina, Arizona, Cal-Santa Barbara

**********

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

13) Sauerkraut got a lot of support from e-mailers today, which baffles me, but that is what makes life interesting-- we like different things.

12) I was also informed that the world's largest sauerkraut factory is in Phelps, NY, near where a friend of mine's grandfather lives. You learrn new stuff every day.

11) Speaking of which, it is now illegal to sit on a sidewalk in Saratoga Springs, NY, where the six-week horse racing meet is held every summer. Not sure if the mayor is a guy who sells benches, but that seems like a dumb thing to have as a law.

10) Maria Sharapova was suspended for two years, which means she is likely to lose as much as $50M in income during that time. Sharapova has been the world's highest-paid female athlete for the last 11 years, but that streak is over now.

9) A Uber driver from Boulder, CO won $1M in a World Series of Poker tourney this week, after being down to one $500 chip at one point in the tournament. Something you rarely read about are people who try to become pro poker players and fail; this guy went bust couple years ago, moved to Colorado and started driving for Uber, then built up some cash and took a shot in this year's WSOP and hit it big. Good for him.

8) Jacksonville Jaguars paid WR Allen Hurns $40M for four years this offseason, now find out Hurns is allergic to grass; no bueno. Will they switch to Field Turf?

7) Washington 11, White Sox 4-- James Sheilds faced 17 batters in his White Sox debut and seven of them scored, not what the struggling Pale Hose needed. He threw 84 pitches and got six outs. Chicago is 6-20 in its last 26 games.

6) Braves' play-by play Chip Caray, grandson of Harry, son of Chip, has improved a lot as a play-play guy; he used to be awful. Haven't listened to Braves' games much the last few years because I don't have any Braves on my fantasy team, but I have this year and Chip is pretty good now. He has a very good partner in Joe Simpson.

5) Phillies young pitching star Vince Velasquez left Wednesday's game after two pitches, never a good sign. Apparently some kind of biceps issue. Last thing Phillies need right now is a pitching injury. Last thing anyone needs, actually.

4) Why I like Phil Martelli as a college hoop coach; St Joe's is 12-3 vs spread in its last 15 conference tournament games, 11-4 vs spread as a road underdog in conference games. He has good players and he lets them play, which gives them confidence.

3) Rumors in NYC this week that St John's assistant coach Barry Rohrssen is off to another job, possibly to be replaced by former NBA star Mitch Richmond. St John's gets to play the Big East tournament on its home court every year, yet they are 0-7 vs spread in last seven Big East tournament games.

Then there is Providence, which covered its last seven Big East tourney games.

2) Cavaliers 120, Warriors 90-- 10 of last 12 Cleveland games were decided by 11+ points. Golden State is 3-5 on the road in playoffs. Still think all playoff series should be best-of-3 and the Finals best-of-5. Much more dramatic that way.

1) Tonight was Golden State's 102nd game this season, not counting the handful of preseason games they play; it was Cleveland's 99th game. NBA is a long season, then the draft is June 23, and the NBA Summer League is in Las Vegas starting July 8. Not a lot of rest for the executives of the good teams.

Regular season ended in mid-April, so the lesser teams have had some time off.

Thursday's MLB Game of the Day: Indians at Mariners
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Josh Tomlin was named the No. 5 starter out of spring training but his strong season has him in the running for an American League All-Star team spot.

Cleveland Indians at Seattle Mariners (A: +110, H: -130, Total: 8.0)

Josh Tomlin strives to continue his unforeseen torrid start when the Cleveland Indians close a four-game series against the host Seattle Mariners on Thursday. Tomlin has compiled eight wins — tied for second in the American League — while already posting the second-highest victory total in his seven-year career.

Tomlin was named the No. 5 starter out of spring training but his strong season has him in the running for an American League All-Star team spot. He missed most of the 2015 season due to April shoulder surgery but returned in mid-August and finished strong by going 7-2 with a 3.02 ERA in 10 starts. Seattle has won the past two games after dropping the series opener and catcher Chris Iannetta hit two homers and drove in four runs in Wednesday's 5-0 victory to improve to 7-for-12 over his past four games. "I wasn't getting results for a while," Iannetta said in a postgame interview after his second career multi-homer game, the other coming in 2011 with the Colorado Rockies. "I was just missing balls. It is part of the game. It's tough to go through."

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, SportsTime Ohio (Cleveland), ROOT (Seattle)

INJURY REPORT:

Indians - C Y. Gomes (Questionable Thursday, groin), LF M. Brantley (15-Day DL, shoulder).

Mariners - CF L. Martin (Out Thursday, hamstring), RP T. Zych (15-Day DL, shoulder), RP C. Furbush (15-Day DL, shoulder).

WEATHER REPORT: There is a 50 percent chance of rain this evening in Seattle where the Mariners will host the Cleveland Indians - good thing Safeco Field has a roof. It'll be a perfect evening for baseball underneath the giant steel rain-blocker.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Indians RH Josh Tomlin (8-1, 3.54 ERA) vs. Mariners RH Nathan Karns (5-2, 4.23)

Tomlin knocked off the Kansas City Royals in his last outing when he gave up one run and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings. His impeccable control has been on display with seven walks in 61 innings and has helped him allow two or fewer runs in six of his 10 starts. Tomlin is 4-1 with a 3.41 ERA in five career starts against the Mariners but has struggled to retire Kyle Seager (5-for-9, four doubles) and Robinson Cano (5-for-14, one homer).

Karns is coming off his worst start of the season as he was pounded for seven runs and eight hits in four innings while losing to Texas on Saturday. The rough outing also included a season-worst five walks as his five-game winning streak reached an end. Karns is 1-1 with a 3.78 ERA in three career starts against Cleveland with the loss occurring April 21 when he gave up five runs (four earned) and five hits in 5 1/3 innings.

TRENDS:

* Indians are 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter.
* Indians are 17-4 in Tomlins last 21 starts.
* Mariners are 5-1 in their last 6 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15.
* Mariners are 8-2 in Karns' last 10 starts.
* Under is 5-0-1 in Indians last 6 overall.
* Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.

CONSENSUS: Early returns for this matchup are showing a 50/50 split on moneyline wagers and 52 percent of the picks on the total are on the Under.
