Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

— Mookie Betts hit 3 HRs, knocked in 8 in a 16-2 Boston win over the awful Diamondbacks.

— Orioles 8, Giants 7– Baltimore trailed this game 7-1 in 7th inning.

— Chip Kelly/Bill O’Brien were both defensive assistants in a 1994 UNH-Brown game; what were the odds that they would both end up as NFL head coaches?

— Justin Rose won the Olympic gold medal in golf; Ryan Moore won the Quad Cities Open and $864,000. Advantage, Moore.

— Toronto 80, UNLV 79– Rebels fouled 3-point shooter with 0:00.5 left, kid made all three FTs to hand Rebels a loss on their first game in the Bahamas.

— Thoughts/prayers to people in Louisiana, where more flooding is taking place this weekend.

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

13) They put 89,000 fans in the LA Coliseum Saturday night, as the NFL returned to Los Angeles for first time in 22 years. Great atmosphere for a game in August; hopefully it’ll carry thru the whole season.

12) Wouldn’t bother me if the Rams let Jared Goff “red-shirt” this year, just let him learn the NFL from the sidelines and in practice, the way QBs used to be developed. When Jeff Fisher coached Steve McNair in Tennessee, McNair started only six games his first two years. People aren’t that patient these days and that’s too bad.

11) Cowboys struck gold with 4th round pick Dak Prescott, who started 37 games for Mississippi State. Makes me wonder; Prescott got nailed for a DUI just before the draft, a huge red flag, but Dallas took him anyway.

Then last month, just before camp, the whole DUI thing just goes away. There was no evidence he failed a breathalyzer test. Makes you wonder if Dallas staged the whole event to make sure they could draft Prescott with a lower draft pick. They wouldn’t do something like that, would they?

I mean, they took Dez Bryant after Bryant was ineligible his whole senior year at Oklahoma State. Hmmmm…..

10) My advice to you would be not to wager on NFL preseason games; why bet on a game when the coaches don’t really care if they win or lose? That said, I’ll have some preseason trends in this space later this week, since people love to bet on football, even if preseason action is a bad idea.

9) Umpire Eric Cooper tossed Colorado pitcher Tyler Anderson out of the game Saturday night after he hit Mikael Franco with a pitch in the 4th inning. No warnings had been issued; the pitch hit Franco below the knee, but Franco had homered in his previous at-bat, so Cooper over-reacted and tossed Colorado’s best pitcher.

8) You have to wonder about the Olympic basketball team; Draymond Green sits at end of the bench, Carmelo Anthony is the anointed “star” of the team, then people complain about the team’s defense.

France was 36-54 (66.7%) inside the arc yesterday. Oy.

7) USA 100, France 97–Tony Parker didn’t play Sunday; why? Saving his legs for a game the coach thinks they can win? Guess what, they could’ve won this game. Curious strategy.

6) Zach Greinke has allowed 7+ runs in three of his 19 starts for Arizona. In 92 starts for the Dodgers, that never happened.

5) Giancarlo Stanton is out for the year, with a groin injury. This was Stanton’s 7th year in big leagues- he has played more than 123 games twice, knocked in more than 87 runs once– he always gets hurt. Maybe he is too muscular; I don’t know enough about it, but maybe a little less weight training and more flexibility- its not the damn NFL.

Anyway, if I was on the hook for $30M a year with Giancarlo, I’d be a little worried. Seems like a terrific person, but very much an overrated hitter. 500-foot homers count the same as 405-footers. He had a terrific year defensively in right field this year, but that’s not what he gets paid for. He gets paid to drive in runs; can’t do that on the DL.

4) Kevin Durant played 30:00 in each of the last two Olympic games and took a total of ten shots from the floor. How is this smart? When was the last time Durant took only 10 shots in a 2-game stretch?

3) Melvin Gordon might be a good fantasy pick this year at RB; Chargers finished 30th/31st in rushing yards last two years- they want to get more balance this season, figure to have less shotgun formations to help run the ball better.

2) Dustin Kerns posted this on Twitter: the Carolina Panthers’ roster has players from 63 different colleges- NFL players come from all over, not just the SEC and Pac-12.

1– Serious question: Would you rather win an Olympic gold medal in golf, or win the Quad Cities Open and its $1M first prize (and two year exemption)?

MLB betting cheat sheet and odds: Marlins malaise

The Marlins learned Sunday they’ll be without star slugger Giancarlo Stanton for the rest of the season with a groin injury.

Our MLB cheat sheet breaks down the best MLB betting notes so you can handicap every series like a pro this week, including the Miami Marlins who received some really bad news in their chase for a National League wildcard spot.

Minnesota Massacre

An incredible offensive display in July by the Minnesota Twins has given way to repeated pitching meltdowns as we reach the middle of August. The Twins dropped an 11-4 decision to the Kansas City Royals on Sunday for their fifth loss in the past six games; they’ve surrendered a whopping 53 runs over that stretch, the main contributor to their 5-1 O/U mark in that span. The Twins are easily the top over team in baseball (72-40-6) heading into a six-game road swing against hosts Atlanta and Kansas City.

Breaking Even

Speaking of the Royals, they’re back to being the closest break-even bet in baseball following Sunday’s one-sided win over Minnesota. The defending World Series champions are a +2 in units won through 117 games, slightly ahead of the San Diego Padres (+6). Kansas City has been one of the safest bets at home (36-21), but has been positively abysmal away from Kauffman Stadium (21-39). The Royals will look to improve that wretched road mark as they open a three-game set Tuesday in Detroit.

Marlins Malaise

The Miami Marlins face an uphill climb in their quest to reach the National League postseason. The Marlins learned Sunday they’ll be without star slugger Giancarlo Stanton for the rest of the season with a groin injury. Miami enters this week’s action a whopping 8 1/2 games behind the division-leading Washington Nationals, and in a multi-team battle for the second NL wild-card spot. But take heed, Marlins fans: Miami is 5-3 SU and +231 units in eight games with Stanton out of the lineup.

Batting Stats

* We’ve said before that Jose Altuve is pivotal to the Houston Astros’ success, and he proved it again Sunday - going 0-for-4 in a 9-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. The Astros fell to 7-19 SU and 8-17-1 O/U when Altuve - the runaway American League batting leader - fails to record a hit.

* Joey Votto of the Cincinnati Reds continues to be one of the most torrid hitters in the second half, adding a pair of hits in four at-bats Sunday to boost his post-All-Star-break average to .463. The Reds are an impressive 16-11 SU and 12-12-3 O/U over that stretch.

Pitching Stats

* Bet against Danny Duffy at your peril. The Royals left-hander opens the week fourth in baseball in units won ($1,172) and is on an impressive stretch in which Kansas City has won each of his last nine starts. He has allowed two runs or fewer in seven of those nine outings.

* Fans at Camden Yards will be treated to quite the showdown Wednesday when Boston Red Sox lefty David Price takes on Orioles ace Chris Tillman. Price has been one of the worst value pitchers in baseball this season (-$941) while Tillman comes in leading the majors in units won ($1,553).

Totals Trend

The Toronto Blue Jays have been an Under bettor’s dream so far this season, going 18-35-3 O/U away from the hitter-friendly confines of Rogers Centre. The Blue Jays embark on a pivotal six-game road trip beginning Monday night at Yankee Stadium.
