Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

Odds to win the college football national title this season:

5-2— Alabama

3-1— Ohio State

7-1— Southern California

8-1— Florida State

15-1— Oklahoma, LSU

20-1— Washington, Wisconsin, Penn State


**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind……..

13) Arizona pitcher Robbie Ray was drilled in the head by a 108 MPH line drive Friday nite, but is out of the hospital as I write this, with a gash on his head the only apparent injury. He is lucky, because it looked ugly when it happened.

The ball hit him so hard it was caught in the air….in foul territory.

12) From sound of it, Baltimore Ravens may be forced to sign Colon Kaepernick; their starting QB Joe Flacco is out for a month or so, and Friday, backup QB Ryan Mallett was so awful that the defense was mocking the offense, for everyone to hear.

Mallett threw at least five INT’s Friday- his backups right now are a kid from West Texas State and a QB from the Champions Indoor Football league.

11) Many of the things about a successful QB are things the general public cannot see; poise, confidence, composure, ability to help others in the offense— does he study a lot of film?

Mallett missed a practice in Houston once because he “overslept”, the day after he was named the #2 QB. Sounds like a lack of maturity.

10) Would love to know the won-loss record of teams that load the bases in the first inning, but do not score. Not sure how cumbersome a research project that would be- it sounds like a lot of work.

9) Rays traded for reliever Steve Cishek/1B Lucas Duda, who batted clean-up for them last night in the Bronx. Tampa Bay is 2.5 games behind Kansas City for the second AL Wild Card spot.

8) Troy Tulowitzki/Matt Kemp/Robbie Ray all got hurt last night. George Springer/David Price both went on the DL before Friday night’s games.

7) Terry Francona is a great manager; he won two World Series in Boston, and increased the Indians’ win total from 68 to 92 in his first year with Cleveland, in 2013. Just dealing with the Boston media on a daily basis and winning as much as he did there was very impressive.

6) Joel Lanning was Iowa State’s QB last year; he’s going to be their middle linebacker this year. Have never heard of anything like that at the college level. High school, kids play both ways.

5) Falcons’ WR Julio Jones lost a $100,000 earring in a lake this week. Oy.

4) Forgot to mention this yesterday; Winnipeg beat Montreal 41-40 in the CFL Thursday night; they trailed 41-28 with 1:00 to play, but scored a TD with 0:45 left, recovered an onside kick, then scored the winning TD on the last play of the game. Horrible way to lose a game.

3) Brewers 2, Cubs 1— Milwaukee hangs on to win a game that you sensed might’ve ended their contention had they blown it. Brewers are 3-9 in their last 12 games; beating the Cubs means a lot to them, since so many Cub fans trek to Milwaukee for games at Miller Park. Brewers are four games out of the second NL Wild Card spot.

2) Phillies traded Howie Kendrick to Washington, Jeremy Hellickson to Baltimore; Phils have a lot of good young players coming up— it is about time they started playing them.

1) If the baseball playoffs started today (they do not):
AL: Boston-Cleveland-Houston Wild Cards: New York-Kansas City
NL: Washington-Chicago-Los Angeles Wild Cards: Arizona-Colorado

LEADING OFF: Beltre nears 3,000th hit, KC tries for 10th W
July 28, 2017

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


GETTIN' CLOSE

Adrian Beltre has 2,998 career hits and is swinging a hot bat for Texas. He's 9 for 14 through four games of a nine-game homestand. The 38-year-old Rangers third baseman is on the brink of becoming only the 31st player in the 3,000-hit club. He'll next face Baltimore righty Kevin Gausman, who's 4-0 in his last six starts.

ROYAL RUN

Kansas City goes for its 10th straight win when Trevor Cahill makes his first start for the hard-charging Royals. Cahill was 4-3 with a 3.69 ERA when he was acquired this week from San Diego. The righty will be facing the Red Sox. He is 0-2 with a 7.79 ERA at Fenway Park.

BACK AND FORTH

After recently being overtaken by the Cubs, the Milwaukee Brewers can go back into first place in the NL Central with a win over Chicago at Miller Park. Kyle Hendricks goes for the Cubs after a seven-week stint on the disabled list with right hand tendinitis. Junior Guerra starts for the Brewers.

ONE LAST LOOK?

Left-hander Francisco Liriano (6-5, 5.99) makes what could be his final start for Toronto when he takes on the Angels. He allowed two runs in five innings to beat Oakland in his last outing, and has been mentioned in trade speculation as Monday's deadline for making deals without waivers approaches.

NEW POP

Detroit lefty Matthew Boyd (4-5, 5.48 ERA) makes his first start since the birth of daughter Meira Joy Boyd on Thursday. He'll be at home against the Astros - righty Collin McHugh (0-0) is scheduled to open for the Astros. He returned last weekend for his first start of 2017 after being out with shoulder problems.

Saturday's Diamond Notes
July 29, 2017

Hottest team: Royals (9-0 past seven overall)

The red-hot Royals continue their series in Beantown against the Red Sox, looking to hit double digits with their win streak. They send the newly acquired Trevor Cahill to the mound at Fenway Park opposite left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. Kansas City has won nine in a row, four stragiht on the road and they're 4-1 over their past five on the road vs. LHP. The Royals have won just six of their past 23 on the road against teams with a home winning percentage over .600, however, and they're just 1-4 in their past five overall vs. LHP. The Red Sox have struggled with E-Rod on the hill, however, going 4-9 over Rodriguez's past 13 starts at Fenway and 0-6 in his past six tries against AL Central foes.

Coldest team: Reds (2-13 past 15 overall)

The Reds have dropped the first two of their four-game set in Miami, outscored 11-5 so far. Cincinnati has droped five in a row, and eight of their past nine overall. The Reds are also a dismal 2-12 over their past 14 tries against NL East foes, while going 1-9 in their past 10 against teams with losing records. Tim Adleman hasn't been terribly helpful for the Reds, as they're just 0-5 over his past five starts on the road and 1-4 over his past five outings overall. The Marlins have been hot, winning four of their past five, while going 9-2 in their past 11 at home against teams with a road winning percentage under .400. They're been hot with Adam Conley on the bump, too, going 4-1 over his past five starts on a Saturday. They're also 15-6 in their past 21 at home vs. RHP.

Hottest pitcher: Corey Kluber, Indians (8-3, 2.74 ERA)

The All-Star Kluber has ascended to fourth in the majors in ERA, sitting at 2.74. He has been even better at Progressive Field in Cleveland, going 6-1 with a 2.38 ERA. Unfortunately, his start will come on the road where he is just 2-2 with a 3.35 ERA across six outings, although each of his two complete games this season have come away from home. He has been untouchable lately, going 4-0 with a 1.26 ERA over six starts in June, and 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA across his past four outings in July. He has been hard on the Pale Hose in his previous two outings this season, going 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA and one of his two complete games, striking out 17, walking four and allowing zero homers.

Coldest pitcher: Tim Adleman, Reds (5-8, 5.11 ERA)

Adleman has struggled with a 5-8 record across 18 starts and one relief appearance so far this season, posting a subpar 5.11 ERA. In addition, he is tied for ninth in the majors with 23 homers allowed over just 100 1/3 innings while opponents are hitting .259 against him. He does have a very respectable 92 strikeouts while walking just 39, so many of his splits aren't horrible. He is 1-5 with a 5.23 ERA over eight road outings while serving up eight homers over 41 1/3 innings while opponents are hitting .269 against him. This will be his first-career meetings against the Marlins.

Biggest UNDER run: Brewers (10-3 past 13 overall)

Total bettors have been cashing frequently with the 'under' and the Brewers. The under has connected in 10 of their past 13 games overall, while going 18-7-1 across their past 26 against right-handed starting pitchers. In addition, the under is 5-0 in Milwaukee's past five inside their division while going 9-3 across Junior Guerra's past 12 against NL Central opponents. The under is also 11-4 across Guerra's past 15 against a team with a winning overall mark. While the over is 8-1 in the past nine meetings in this series, the under is 14-5-2 inthe past 21 battles in this series at Miller Park while going 9-3 over the past 12 starts by Kyle Hendricks against the boys from Cream City.

Biggest OVER run: Braves (5-0 past five overall)

The 'over' continues to hit frequently for the Bravos, going 5-0 over their past five outings while going 4-0 in their past four inside the division. The over is also 4-0 in their past four against a right-handed starting pitcher while hitting in 10 of the past 11 road outings. The over is also 41-20-2 in their past 63 road games against a right-handed starter. While the over has hit plenty for Atlanta lately, the under is 4-1 in the past five meetings in the City of Brotherly Love. The under is also 10-4-1 in Philadelphia's past 15 at home, 4-1 in Jerad Eickhoff's past five home outings and 3-1-1 in his past five assignments overall.

Matchup to watch: Rangers vs. Orioles

The Orioles and Rangers have both been very disappointing this season, and each finds themselves under .500 and most likely to be sellers at the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. Kevin Gausman has been a huge bummer for the O's this season, although he has picked up the pace lately. He is 7-7 with a 5.79 ERA across 112 innings over 22 starts, but he is a solid 3-0 with a 4.85 ERA across five July outings while opponents are hitting .262 against him. That isn't great, but opponents are hitting .312 overall against him, so he has been trending in the right direction. Gausman continues to struggle on the road, going 3-4 with a 6.90 ERA over 10 outings while the opponent is hitting .339 against him. The Orioles have won four of the past five in this series, although they're a dismal 1-8 in their past nine trips to Arlington.

Betcha didn’t know: Future Hall of Famer Adrian Beltre continues to inch closer to 3,000 hits. He needs just two more knocks to join the vaunted club. He is 4-for-14 (.286) iwth a double, a walk amd two strikeouts in his career against Gausman. Perhaps no one has been hotter than Nomar Mazara for the Rangers, however, as he is 7-for-12 with four runs scored and six RBI over his past three outings. That's the complete opposite of O's DH MarkTrumbo, who enters hitless across his past 13 at-bats with five strikeouts over the past three contests.

Biggest public favorite: Dodgers (-270) vs. Giants

Biggest public underdog: Twins (+110) at Athletics

Biggest line move: Yankees (-130 to -150) vs. Rays

Weekend Outlook
July 28, 2017

Colorado (58-45) at Washington (61-39)
Scheduled rotation: Marquez (8-4) vs. Roark (8-6), Freeland (10-7) vs. Fedde (0-0), Gray (3-1) vs. Jackson (1-1)
Series price: Nationals -155, Rockies +135

Look for lots of runs scored in this series just like when they met in April at Coors Field where the Nationals took three of four with all four games flying Over the total. The Nats scored a total of 46 runs between the four games. Not a lot has changed offensively for the Nats since then as they remain the NL leader in almost every hitting category including runs scored (5.6), batting average (.279) and slugging (.858). The Rockies come in hitting well also and have gone Over the total in 10 of their last 12 games. Colorado's offense will be aided this weekend because they'll miss Max Scherzer, Gio Gonzalez and Stephen Strasburg who just went on the DL. Taking Strasburg's place will be the Nats 2014 first round pick from UNLV, Erick Fedde, who makes him MLB debut Saturday. I'm rooting for him to do well because I went to UNLV also, but I'll be on the Over.

Chicago Cubs (54-47) at Milwaukee (54-50)
Scheduled rotation: Quintana 96-8) vs. Suter (1-1), Hendricks (4-3) vs. Guerra (1-4), Lackey (7-9) vs. Davies (12-4)
Series price: Cubs -180, Brewers +160

The Cubs are finally rolling and come in on an 11-2 run while the Brewers have lost nine of their last 11. The Cubs have taken control of the wide open NL Central and have a 1.5-game lead over the Brewers. Something to watch for here is the totals going Over. The Over has gone 13-3-1 in their last 17 meetings.

San Francisco (40-63) at LA Dodgers (71-31)
Scheduled rotation: Moore (3-10) vs. Wood (11-1), Blach (6-6) vs. Hill (7-4), Cain (3-9) vs. Ryu (3-6)
Series price: Dodgers -400, Giants +340

You can throw out the records and standings in this one and expect the Giants to be at their best against their most hated rivals. This is the playoffs for the Giants and they're on a run of winning nine of the last 13 against the Dodgers. The Dodgers have won five straight coming in. They haven't lost since Clayton Kershaw went down Sunday with a back injury (out 4-6 weeks). But the Giants have won two straight. Taking the Giants to win the series offers some decent value. Some of these match-ups we've seen already this season. Ty Blach beat Rich Hill, 2-1, in May and they'll hook up Saturday. Matt Cain beat Hyun-Jin Ryu, 2-1, in April and they'll face each other on Sunday. It's tough betting against a team on a 44-11 run, but San Francisco should be game. One note to also keep in mind is that the Giants have gone 10-3-2 to the Over in their last 15 games.

Pittsburgh (50-52) at San Diego (45-57)
Scheduled rotation: Kuhl (3-7) vs. Wood (1-3), Nova (10-7) vs. Lamet (4-4), Cole (8-7) vs. Richard (5-11)
Series price: Pirates -140, Padres +120

The most interesting thing about this series is what will happen with the totals because both teams are streaking in opposite directions. Petco Park is one of the most pitcher friendly parks in baseball, but the Padres are currently ona run of going 12-3-1 to the Over in their last 16 games. The Pirates have been getting solid pitching, good fielding and can't hit so the Under has been cashing regularly. The Under has gone 19-6-1 in their last 26 games. Because the Pirates have their best two starters going on Saturday and Sunday, laying the -140 with them to win the series is a good play.

Kansas City (53-47) at Boston (56-47)
Scheduled rotation: Vargas (12-4) vs. Porcello (4-13), Cahill (4-3) vs. TBA, Hammel (4-8) vs. Rodriguez (4-3)
Series price: Red Sox -175, Royals +155

Kansas City is red hot with an eight-game winning streak, but they can't make up any ground in the AL Central because all of a sudden the Indians have decided play their best ball and ride a seven-game win streak. The Royals still sit two games out of first-place. This is a very live spot for the Royals to keep rolling and win the series and things were made a bit easier as David Price was scratched and put on the DL Friday. The Red Sox return home after a poor road trip (2-4) and have lost five of their last seven allowing the Yankees to get back into the picture in the division after they faded. Boston only has a half-game lead over the Yankees. The Royals took two of three from Boston at Kansas City in June and have won eight of the past 11 meetings overall. Keep note of Boston currently staying Under in nine of its last 13 games. The Royals are batting .305 in their last 10 games while the Red Sox are hitting only .215 over the same span. Big Papi, where are you?

Cleveland (55-45) at Chicago White Sox (39-60)
Scheduled rotation: Salazar (3-5) vs. Holland (5-9), Kluber (8-3) vs. Gonzalez (5-9), Tomlin (7-9) vs. Rondon (1-4)
Series price: Indians -330, White Sox +270

This is a big series price for an Indians squad that has only won five of the nine meetings with the White Sox. However, the Indians are playing their best ball of the season and ride a seven-game win streak. At the same time, no team is playing worse than the White Sox who have lost 15 of their last 17. The best Indians theme all season has to bet them Under the total, especially on the road where they're on a 34-16-7 Under run.

Houston (67-34) at Detroit (45-55)
Scheduled rotation: Keuchel (9-0) vs. Zimmermann (6-8), McHugh (0-0) vs. Boyd (4-5), McCullers (7-2) vs. Verlander (5-7)
Series price: Astros -175, Tigers +155

Houston has lost 13 of their last 17 meetings in Detroit, but throw all that out the window. Both these squads are in drastically different places. When they last met in May, at Houston, the Astros took three of four. They kick off the series by welcoming back Dallas Keuchel who they've won 10 of 11 behind. Houston on the road is the most dangerous team in baseball going 37-13 for a profit of +22.2 units. They've only stayed Under the total in 13 of those games because they average 7.1 runs a game while batting .303 on the road. That is incredible! Detroit comes in having lost three straight and kick things off Friday with Jordan Zimmermann who has a 7.42 ERA between his last three starts, all of which went Over. Playing these totals Over daily in this series looks like the move.

CHICAGO (AP) Pinch hitter Brandon Guyer was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning for the go-ahead run, and the Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago White Sox 5-4 on Saturday night for their ninth straight victory.

Corey Kluber struck out 12 in 6 1/3 innings for Cleveland, and Carlos Santana went 1 for 1 with four walks. The AL Central-leading Indians moved three games ahead of second-place Kansas City, which lost 9-8 at Boston in 10 innings.

Jose Abreu hit a three-run homer for the White Sox, who have dropped 14 of 15.

It was 4-all when Chicago reliever Aaron Bummer (0-1) walked Santana with two outs in the ninth and Austin Jackson singled. Gregory Infante came in and hit Yan Gomes with a pitch, then plunked Guyer in the shoulder to force in a run.

Andrew Miller (4-3) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings for the win. Cody Allen got three outs for his 19th save.

RED SOX 9, ROYALS 8, 10 INNINGS

BOSTON (AP) - Sandy Leon slid into home plate and avoided catcher Drew Butera's tag on Eduardo Nunez's groundout in the 10th inning, lifting Boston past Kansas City and ending the Royals' nine-game winning streak.

Nunez also hit two solo homers over the Green Monster. He is 5 for 9 in two games since being acquired from San Francisco for two minor league pitchers on Tuesday night.

Lorenzo Cain connected for a three-run homer and Whit Merrifield had a career-best four hits for the Royals, who were looking to match their longest win streak since June 2014. Mike Minor (5-3) got the loss.

The Red Sox had lost five of six. They remained a half-game behind the AL East-leading New York Yankees.

Matt Barnes (6-2) pitched a scoreless inning for the win.

CUBS 2, BREWERS 1, 11 INNINGS

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Jason Heyward homered in the 11th inning, and the Cubs strengthened their hold on first place in the NL Central.

Kris Bryant had three hits, including a tying RBI single in the seventh inning, as the Cubs improved to 12-3 since the All-Star break. Mike Montgomery (3-6) worked the 10th for the win and All-Star closer Wade Davis got three outs for his 21st save in 21 chances, striking out pinch hitter Jonathan Villar with a runner on first for the final out.

Second-place Milwaukee pulled within a half-game of Chicago with a 2-1 victory in the series opener Friday night. But the Cubs responded with their fourth win in five games overall.
