Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

— This is an open recruiting period for college hoop; UConn offered three 10th graders this weekend off the same AAU team in Georgia.

— Mets are 8-17 in their last 25 games with Washington- they visit our nation’s capital this weekend.

— Brewers 11, Reds 7- Eric Thames hit two more HR’s, has 10 for the season; he has 7 HR’s in 21 PA’s against Cincinnati.

— Raptors 118, Bucks 93— Toronto won last two games by 11-25 points, have 3-2 series lead.

— Hawks 111, Wizards 101— Home team won all four series games.

— Giants 2, Dodgers 1– Buster Posey picked Justin Turner off 2B to end the game with Adrian Gonzalez at the plate. Oy.

**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but………

13) Get well soon, Steve Kerr; the Warriors’ coach has had severe pain/discomfort since he had surgery on his spine a couple years ago. Fluid leaked from his spine and has created problems so unique that doctors aren’t even sure what the real problem is now.

Kerr seems like a genuinely decent and normal guy; we wish him the best in getting healthy.

12) Oklahoma City lost at home to Houston Sunday; they were +14 in 39:00 Russell Westbrook was on the court, -18 in 9:00 he was on the bench.

Billy Donovan has forgotten more basketball than I will ever know, but if I’m him, I might just leave Westbrook out there the whole 48:00 and see what happens. There are enough TV timeouts to get him a decent amount of rest.

11) Thursday night the Mariners lost a tough game in Oakland; at one point, a ground ball single went thru the legs of CF Leonys Martin, who actually went to one knee to stop the ball, but still whiffed on it. Ball took an odd hop, but not a REAL bad hop.

Sunday, the Mariners designated Martin for assignment, which means they are done with him. I’m guessing that error Thursday night was a part of that decision.

10) Pro wrestler Jon Cena’s grandfather Tony Lupien played in 614 big league games as a first baseman for the Red Sox, Phillies, White Sox. Sunday would’ve been Mr Lupien’s 100th birthday.

By the way, Jon Cena does more stuff for kids in the Make-a-Wish program than any other celebrity. He is incredibly generous with his time and makes a lot of kids smile. Good for him.

9) You think about how much the Rams paid Tennessee last year for their first pick in the draft that turned into Jared Goff and a big part of that was a belief that there is no great QB prospect in this draft, so if LA was going to draft a young QB, it had to be done last year.

Mel Kiper doesn’t give any QB’s first round grades this year; that is telling.

8) Phillies were 1-1 in 8th inning Sunday, then they hit three consecutive homers against the Atlanta bullpen- that doesn’t happen much.

7) Runs batted in by outfielders this season:
Miami 46, Washington 37

Kansas City 11, San Diego/Toronto, 12 each.

6) Houston Astros are 6-2 on the road which obviously is very good but a red flag; Astros haven’t led any of those games (0-5-3) after five innings- their deep lineup beats up on middle relievers.

5) Best records in games decided by 1-2 runs: Orioles 10-1, Rockies 10-2, Astros 6-2, Nationals 9-3……..Worst records? Toronto 2-10, Dodgers 3-6, Minnesota 2-6.

4) Former Cowboys’ executive Gil Brandt points out on Twitter that Texas A&M’s Myles Garrett had 31 career sacks at Texas A&M, but only 14 of them came in SEC games— Aggies’ non-league opponents were mostly Sun Belt/C-USA teams (UTSA, Rice, ULM).

3) From Wikipedia: The Wonderlic Personnel Test is a popular group intelligence test used to assess the aptitude of prospective employees for learning and problem-solving in a range of occupations. It consists of 50 multiple choice questions to be answered in 12 minutes.

How much do Wonderlic scores matter when NFL teams are drafting players this week?

I have to ask around, seeing as this is NFL draft week; I think I remember being told a few years ago that some teams care about the results, some do not.

I’ll get back to you on this.

2) Red Sox threw behind Manny Machado’s head Sunday, causing a ruckus, after his slide into second base Saturday sent Dustin Pedroia to the pines. Hopefully this will all go away, but Machado does have a way of annoying opponents— he got into it with Josh Donaldson in Oakland a few years ago.

1— New York Giants used to have training camp here in Albany; friend of mine’s adult son wanted Eli Manning’s autograph, so he went to camp with a friend of his, who happened to be an exotic dancer. The young lady called for Eli, he came over to them, and my friend’s son asked Eli to sign the Giants’ mini-helmet he had.

He hands Eli the helmet and a silver Sharpie, but Eli wouldn’t sign with the silver pen; he had a black Sharpie he used, and he was insistent that he use it.

“I won’t be able to read your signature” the young man complained.

“You’ll be able to read it just fine” Eli replied, signed the helmet and that was that.

Thats how they tell the difference between the stuff Eli signs for Steiner Sports and those he just signs for free, by the color pen he signs with.

I’ll say this: if you pay extra for “game-used” items, you’re a damn fool, because demand exceeds supply, which means the “game-used” stuff you’re getting probably isn’t.

MLB Daily Line Drive: Tuesday's picks, betting odds and analysis

Dallas Keuchel is looking much like the pitcher he was two years ago when he went 20-8 with a 2.48 ERA, a 1.02 WHIP and 216 strikeouts on his way to his first Cy Young Award.

The baseball schedule can be tough to navigate for even a seasoned bettor. We break down all the day's MLB betting angles for you including picks, trends, weather and analysis to help you handicap the big leagues like a pro.

Double-Play Picks

Houston Astros at Cleveland Indians (+105, 8.5)

The Astros begin a three-game series in Cleveland against the Indians in a matchup of two teams who many pegged to be serious contenders in the American League.

Houston is in the middle of a six game road trip, in which they just took two of three from the Tampa Bay Rays and are 9-2 in their last 11 games overall. The ‘Stros have gotten off to the hot start thanks to solid hitting and great pitching.

They rank fourth in the majors in batting average and sixth in OPS, while ranking third in team ERA, second in WHIP and fourth in strikeouts.

Houston sends ace Dallas Keuchel to the mound Tuesday, who looks every bit the guy who won the Cy Young Award in 2015. The lefty is 3-0 in four starts with a 0.96 ERA, 0.79 WHIP to go along with 22 strikeouts to just six walks.

Keuchel matches up with the struggling, to put it nicely Josh Tomlin. The Cleveland right-hander is 1-2 in two starts with a whopping 11.68 ERA, while opponents hold a very high .410 OBP.

Pick: Houston -125

Minnesota Twins at Texas Rangers (+101, 9)

The Twins and Rangers continue their three game series in Texas on Tuesday, in a matchup of two teams which have had an up-and-down start to the season.

After a 7-4 start, the Twins have dropped five of their last seven games, while the Rangers needed a four game winning streak to reach .500 before dropping Game 1 of this series to Minnesota.

The biggest problem for the Rangers this season seems to be their approach at the plate. They are not scoring if they aren’t hitting home runs. They rank third in the bigs in dingers, but are 28th in batting average and 14th in scoring. The result has been them going Under in nine of their last 11 games.

The Twins meanwhile send Ervin Santana to the hill Tuesday. In four starts this season, the right-hander is 3-0 with a miniscule 0.64 ERA, while opponents have managed just a .178 OPB against him.

Minnesota isn’t great at scoring either, ranking 20th in runs per game and 24th in batting average.

Pick: Under 9

Yesterday's Picks: 1-1
Season to Date: 11-11

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Dallas Keuchel, Houston Astros (3-0, 0.96 ERA, $109)

It's tough when you give up one run over seven innings and your season ERA still goes up. That's exactly when happened as a result of Dallas Keuchel's win over the Los Angeles Angels last week. Heading into that contest with the Angels, Keuchel was sporting a very tidy 0.86 ERA and after the game his number ballooned all of the way up to 0.96. Shame!

He is looking much like the pitcher he was two years ago when he went 20-8 with a 2.48 ERA, a 1.02 WHIP and 216 strikeouts on his way to his first Cy Young Award.

Slumping: Vince Velasquez, Philadelphia Phillies (0-2, 7.20 ERA, -$317)

Philadelphia Phillies' starter Vince Velasquez is not the worst starting pitcher in Major League Baseball, but if you just look at his numbers over the last two seasons you might think that he is.

In 15 innings this season he is 0-2 with a 7.20 ERA and an Opponents On Base Percentage of .377. Those numbers are bad, but the really alarming numbers come to the surface when you look at his Team W/L record. He had a decent start to the 2016 season, but from July of last year until now the Phillies are 1-11 in games that have been started by Velasquez - that's a winning percentage of 8.33 percent over his last 12 starts!

Tuesday’s Top Trends

* The Astros are 10-1 in their last 11 games vs. a right-handed starter. -125 @ Tomlin and the Indians.
* The Phillies are 1-11 in Vince Velasquez' last 12 starts. -105 today vs. Marlins.
* Under has cashed in 10 of the Royals' last 11 games overall. Total today @ White Sox is set at 8.
* The Cardinals are 1-9 in their last 10 interleague home games. -135 today vs Blue Jays.

Weather to Keep an Eye on

Rain could be an issue this evening in Philadelphia where the Phillies will welcome the Miami Marlins. The forecast is calling for rain all day, possibly tapering off later this evening. Even if they do manage to get this one in it will be miserable with temperatures in the mid-50's and a 20 mile per hour wind blowing in from right-center field.

We could also see wash-outs tonight in Boston and Queens where the Red Sox will host the New York Yankees and the Mets will welcome the Atlanta Braves. Rain is expected to fall all day in both game locations.

UMP of the Day

James Hoye: Tonight will be Hoye's fourth home plate of the 2017 season and there is certainly a distinct trend thus far...Under. All three of Hoye's previous games behind the plate this season have gone Under the closing total and seven of his last 8 games (dating back to last season) have cashed for Under bettors. He doesn't own a particularly high Strike Percentage (62.5%) but what you will notice about James Hoye is that he isn't afraid to ring up batters on third strike calls. Often home plate umpires will tighten their zone slightly with two strikes - Hoye is not one of those guys.
