    Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

    -- Cavaliers 115, Warriors 101-- First time since 1966 that a team down 3-1 in Finals forced a Game 7.

    -- Last time a road team won Game 7 in NBA Fials; Washington Bullets at Seattle Supersonics, way back in 1978.

    -- 12 different American Presidents have been in office since Vin Scully has been calling Dodger games.

    -- Tigers 10, Royals 4-- Victor Martinez missed last three games with a bad knee, but hit three solo home runs in this game.

    -- Whit Merrifield has scored in Royals' last ten home games.

    -- A's AAA farm team in Nashville drew10,092 fans Thursday night; no way the A's drew that many fans for their listless loss to Texas Thursday afternoon. Announced crowd was 14,236, which is science fiction.

    **********

    Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here......

    13) 19 of Cleveland Cavaliers' last 21 games were decided by 11+ points.

    12) LSU rookie Ben Simmons declined to work out for the 76ers? No idea what this means, but I doubt it is a positive sign. Maybe it is nothing, maybe he is angling to be a LA Laker, but red flags are increasingly popping up around the Australian rookie.

    11) Bob Davidson has been a major league umpire for 30+ years and he isn't a crew chief? What does this say about him? Davidson did the plate in Cubs-Nationals game Wednesday; by end of the game, both sidies were livid with his ball/strike calls.

    10) City of Philadelphia put a 1.5 cent-per-ounce tax on soda, making it the biggest city in America to do so (Berkeley had been). So my 20-ounce Cherry Coke goes up 30 cents a bottle, but God forbid someone on the Terror Watch List not be allowed to buy an assault weapon. Politicians are scum.

    9) Oakland A's pulled a fast one on their competitors when they signed Yoenis Cespedes to a 4-year, $36M deal in 2012; they went 256-175 and made playoffs all three years Cespedes played for them. Since they traded him? 117-167.

    8) Pittsburgh Pirates have had a brutal travel schedule the last couple weeks; they played at Citi Field last night and have a day game in Chicago today. This is wrong; if you have a day game, your getaway day game also should be a day game.

    7) So I'm in a 16-team keeper fantasy league, four pickups a month, good league and highly competitive. I need another hitter and I'm listening to Mets' TV guys pumping up Wilmer Flores last night. I'm about to click on his page on my laptop, and Flores gets drilled on the hand by a pitch- he leaves the game. So much for that idea. .

    6) Tampa Bay rookie pitcher Blake Snell is wearing #4, making him 4th big league pitcher this year to wear a single digit number.

    5) With Florida AD Jeremy Foley retiring this week, you wonder if that played into Billy Donovan bolting Gainesville for the NBA last spring. If you're a college coach, you want to work for the AD that hired you. Makes life a lot easier.

    4) Other than the Pittsburgh/San Francisco markets, Buffalo had highest TV ratings for the Stanley Cup Finals, amongst American markets.

    3) Two groups have bid over $4B to buy UFC, thats how popular UFC is.

    2) Playing football is difficult. Steelers' center Maurkice Pouncey had six operations and a skin graft, just last year.

    1) Only nine golfers finished the first round of the US Open Thursday; if you like to watch golf on TV, today is your day.

              Nine for nine: Surprise starters cashing for MLB bettors

              After Thursday night's near-perfect game Colby Lewis is +$923 when it comes to starters money.

              On June 8, highly-touted 24-year-old pitching prospect Jameson Taillon made his Major League debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates in what eventually hit the box scores as a 6-5 loss to the defending National League Champion New York Mets. In that defeat, the 6-5, 240-pound righty from Lakeland, Florida surrendered just three earned runs through six credible innings of work. For all his efforts, Taillon was sent back down to the minors.

              That’s not to say the Pirates weren’t impressed, because they most certainly were. There just wasn’t enough space on the 25-man roster to retain their bright young pitching star. But Taillon was called up again this past week when ace Gerrit Cole went on the disabled list with a right triceps strain and this time around he dazzled to the tune of 8.0 innings of work with just two hits and zero runs surrendered in a 4-0 win over that same New York Mets club.


              The point of the story here is that the Pirates aren’t the only club in Major League Baseball that will be calling up highly-regarded pitching prospects over the next few months. In fact, several clubs will want to take a good, long look at what they have in their respective farm systems. The key, however, is to identify which of these pitchers will be able to deliver the goods at a great betting price night in and night out. But before we take a look at the prospects who could make some waves in the near future, let’s analyze nine surprising pitchers who have turned a sizeable profit through the first three months of the 2016 MLB season.

              Chris Tillman, RHP, Baltimore Orioles (2.87 ERA)

              Decisions: 9-1, +$883
              Overall: 12-2, +$1,065

              Analysis: The Orioles have emerged victorious in ten of Tillman’s last 11 starts, with the eight-year veteran surrendering two or fewer earned runs eight times during that stretch. Tillman boasts a diverse four-pitch arsenal (four-seam fastball, changeup, slider, knuckle-curve) that devastated the Red Sox for seven full innings on June 14 (5 hits, 1 earned run, 7 Ks) en route to a 3-2 Orioles victory despite entering the game as +176 underdogs. Take note, however, that the 6-5, 200-pound righty has been listed as a favorite in eight of his last nine trips to the bump.

              Next start: Sunday, June 19 vs. Toronto Blue Jays

              Colby Lewis, RHP, Texas Rangers (2.81 ERA)

              Decisions: 6-0, +$821
              Overall: 10-4, +$923

              Analysis: Despite pitching for the A.L. West-leading Texas Rangers, Lewis has taken the mound as an underdog in six of his last seven starts, delivering a tremendous return on investment in the process. His latest gem came in the form of a complete game, two-hit masterpiece in Oakland on Thursday where the 36-year-old took a no-hitter into the ninth inning before surrendering a lone run in a 5-1 Texas victory. After losing back-to-back Lewis starts on May 4 and May 9, the Rangers have since rattled off seven straight wins with Lewis leading the charge, a stretch that has seen the pitcher lower his ERA from 3.20 to 2.81.

              Next start: Tuesday, June 21 vs. Cincinnati Reds

              Michael Fulmer, RHP, Detroit Tigers (2.52 ERA)

              Decisions: 7-1, +$710
              Overall: 8-1, +$860

              Analysis: Since surrendering five runs on ten hits in a 9-4 loss at Cleveland on May 5, Fulmer has won six straight decisions while dropping his ERA from a lofty 6.30 to 2.52. More recently, the 23-year-old from Oklahoma City has rattled off a four-start stretch that has featured four wins, 27.1 innings pitched, nine hits and a staggering zero total earned runs. Give a large portion of the credit for that run to Fulmer’s incendiary fastball, the four-seam variety of which averages 94.4 mph with a complementary two-seamer that sits at 94.9 mph.

              Next start: Friday, June 17 at Kansas City Royals

              Josh Tomlin, RHP, Cleveland Indians (3.27 ERA)

              Decisions: 8-1, +$707
              Overall: 10-2, +$805

              Analysis: Tomlin has allowed more than two earned runs in an outing just four times in 12 starts this season and only once over his last six trips to the hill, which has been intriguing to most observers considering the Cleveland staff features three starters in Cy Young-winner Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar who were expected to dominate the headlines in 2016. Another big plus here is the fact that despite all his early-season success, Tomlin has still been listed as an underdog in three of his last five starts, a trend we expect to see shift in the very near future.

              Next start: Monday, June 20 vs. Tampa Bay Rays

              Aaron Sanchez, RHP, Toronto Blue Jays (3.38 ERA)

              Decisions: 6-1, +$486
              Overall: 8-5, +$151

              Analysis: Yes, Sanchez has turned a very respectable profit in his seven decisions this season, but bettors need to be advised that the 23-year-old has been the benefactor of elite run support through the first three months of the 2016 MLB campaign, with the Blue Jays scoring seven or more runs in five of Sanchez’s last six starts. Granted, the 6-4, 220-pound righty has limited the opposition to three or fewer earned runs in seven of his last nine outings, but that explosive Toronto lineup is a big reason why Sanchez has been listed as a favorite of -140 or higher in four of his last six trips to the bump.

              Next start: Friday, June 17 at Baltimore Orioles

              Rich Hill, LHP, Oakland A’s (2.25 ERA)

              Decisions: 8-3, +$480
              Overall: 8-3, +$480

              Analysis: Acquired on a one-year, $6 million free agent contract this past winter, Hill may go down as the best value signing of the offseason…and in classic Billy Beane/Oakland Athletics fashion, will likely be flipped at the trade deadline for prospects. The 36-year-old southpaw has enjoyed quite the renaissance in 2016 thanks to a devastating curveball that features more than eight inches of both horizontal and vertical movement. The downside here, however, is the fact that Hill is currently on the disabled list due to a groin injury and won’t resume throwing off a mound until next week at the earliest.

              Next start: TBD

              Tyler Chatwood, RHP, Colorado Rockies (2.89 ERA)

              Decisions: 8-4, +$434
              Overall: 9-4, +$534

              Analysis: Prior to the start of the season, many industry insiders considered the Rockies to be nothing more than a 70-win team at best. Yet, here we are on June 17 and Colorado resides at just one game under .500 thanks, in part, to the efforts of Chatwood, who has surrendered a grand total of just 12 earned runs over his last seven starts, with the 26-year-old winning four of his last five decisions. Credit a nasty two-seam fastball for the five-year veteran’s success, as Chatwood currently ranks first in the National League in ground ball percentage at 58.7 percent. Like they say, if the ball is on the ground, it can’t leave the yard.

              Next start: Saturday, June 18 at Miami Marlins

              Steven Wright, RHP, Boston Red Sox (2.22 ERA)

              Decisions: 8-4, +$418
              Overall: 8-5, +$289

              Analysis: Wright has emerged victorious in each of his last five starts while permitting two or fewer earned runs in four of those aforementioned outings. But perhaps what is more impressive is that the 31-year-old’s knuckleball has induced at least 12 ground ball outs in three of his last four trips to the hill after the four-year veteran notched just one such effort through his first nine starts of the season. Wright is coming on strong and bettors would be wise to take notice.

              Next start: Monday, June 20 vs. Chicago White Sox

              Christian Friedrich, LHP, San Diego Padres (2.12 ERA)

              Decisions: 3-1, +$268
              Overall: 4-2, +$301

              Analysis: True to form, the Padres are a dumpster fire, with two of their best pitchers (Andrew Cashner and Tyson Ross) on the disabled list unable to spray any additional gasoline on the fire. But almost too quietly, Friedrich joined the rotation in mid-May and has since proven to serve as a glimmer of hope, with six total starts featuring three or fewer earned runs surrendered. Not only that, but the 28-year-old lefty has allowed only one home run on 603 total pitches this season. The best part here? Friedrich has been listed as an underdog in five of six starts since joining the rotation.

              Next start: Friday, June 17 vs. Washington Nationals.

                        MLB betting cheat sheet: A Giant Run

                        Entering the weekend, it is the Giants who are MLB’s hottest team. They start an interleague series with the Rays Friday.

                        Power Sports breaks down the best betting notes in our MLB cheat sheet to help you handicap this weekend's series, including looking into the San Francisco Giants' red-hot run.

                        Giant Run

                        Entering the weekend, it is the Giants who are MLB’s hottest team. Fresh off a three-game sweep of lowly Milwaukee, they’ve won five in a row overall and now head to Tampa Bay to face an unfamiliar opponent. This is just the second series since 2004 these teams have played. There’s been an interesting line move for Friday’s series opener as despite San Francisco receiving the vast majority of wagers (as you’d expect), the line is moving in a different direction. As of 12:30 PM ET, the Rays are up to -128 on the money line with Chris Archer on the hill. An interesting note here is that the Giants are averaging just 2.2 runs per game in Interleague Play so far with a team batting average .186. Tampa Bay’s own offense has really come alive of late.

                        Flying High, Flying Low

                        All of a sudden, the Blue Jays have won six of seven. They just got done destroying Philadelphia and have scored 10 or more runs in four of the past six games. The win streak started with them taking three in a row from the Orioles, but it should be pointed out that series was in Toronto and this weekend’s rematch will be in Camden Yards. I actually touched upon this when I previewed the last series between these two AL East rivals, but Baltimore has a very strong home vs. road dichotomy at 24-11 vs. 14-16. The O’s have lost at home just one time in the month of June. Also, Toronto has lost its last two series openers, including 7-0 to Philadelphia. Baltimore might be the better bet in this weekend’s series.

                        Not These Guys

                        The Cubs and Mets, last year’s two NLCS qualifiers, are teams you typically hope to avoid on the schedule. But for the respective opponents this weekend, that’s especially the case. The Cubs host the Pirates this weekend and are 5-1 so far in 2016 vs. their NL Central rival. Making matters worse for the Bucs is that Jake Arrieta starts Friday’s series opener. The Mets will welcome in an Atlanta team that they are 5-1 against this year. Expect both home sides to be large favorites on a game by game basis this weekend.

                        Hitter Notes

                        *Earlier, I referenced how Tampa Bay’s offense has gotten going after a slow start to the year. The driving force behind that has been Evan Longoria. Over the last 15 games, the third baseman is batting .371 with eight home runs and 20 runs batted in. But he sat out Thursday (team lost 6-4 at home to Seattle) due to an injured forearm. The team is hopeful that he’ll return to the lineup for Friday’s opener vs. the Giants, but this is a situation worth monitoring.

                        *What in the world has happened to the Marlins’ Giancarlo Stanton? The once feared slugger has been a disaster over his last 20 games with only one home run and five runs batted in. He’s batting just .193 for the year and has an OPS of .718. One would think that a weekend visit from the Rockies’ pitching staff would lead to a reversal of fortune for Stanton, but the Colorado staff has actually been decent this year outside of Coors Field.

                        Pitching Notes

                        *What an unfortunate season the White Sox’ Jose Quintana has had so far. He has a 2.66 ERA and 1.087 WHIP in his 13 starts, but the team is just 6-7. That ERA actually ranks 4th in the American League, but the problem has been a lack of run support as the offense is supplying him w/ just 2.67 per start. Each of his last six starts have resulted in team losses and the offense has scored only eight runs total in those games. Totals players will want to know that each of Quintana's last 12 starts have stayed Under the total.

                        *Milwaukee’s Zach Davies isn’t a name likely on your radar, but he has a 0.86 ERA and .0571 WHIP his last three starts overall and hasn’t lost a decision since April. That being said, his numbers are significantly worse on the road and he’ll be a sizable underdog Friday when he starts at Dodger Stadium.

                        Totals Trend

                        Minnesota lost Thursday, 4-1 to the Yankees. That result was a win for Under bettors, but you’ll want to note that the Over had been 10-0-1 Over their previous 11 games. They’ve allowed 10 or more runs in one game in each of the past three series.

                        Umpire Trend

                        Detroit won't be happy to see that Will Little will be calling balls and strikes for their Friday night game against division rival Kansas City. The Tigers are 0-5 in their last five games with Little behind home plate. Detroit is currently a -121 home favorite.

                        Friday's Weather Report

                        * There will be a bit of a pitcher's wind gusting at Progressive Field for Friday night's game between the Indians and White Sox. The winds will be blowing at 10-12 miles per hour in from center field. The total is currently 8.0.

                        Otherwise Friday should be a beautiful day for baseball!
