Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Mid-week musings……..

13) “There are no coincidences.” Friend of mine used to say that a lot.

So when Saints @ Vikings shows up as a Week 1 Monday Night Football game, and then five days later, former Viking Adrian Peterson signs a two-year, $7M contract with the Saints, you have to think the league knew about it in advance and had them delay the announcement until after the schedule was released.

12) Tuesday was a rainy night in the northeast; games in Boston, NYC, Philly were all rained out, which screws up fantasy league owners who had two-start (Tues/Sun) pitchers this week, but now will only make one start.

11) Detroit 19, Seattle 9— I wish it rained in Detroit, seeing as how Felix Hernandez is on my fantasy team; he got shelled in two lousy innings of work. Mariners are now 2-10 on the road. Detroit had 19 hits, just in the first five innings.

10) St Bonaventure is 35-19 in conference play the last three basketball seasons; look at a map and find Olean, NY- it is in the middle of freakin’ nowhere, on the Southern Tier of New York. There aren’t any big-time basketball high schools anywhere near Olean.

How has no big money college not hired Bonnies’ coach Mark Schmidt to run their program? This guy is a very good coach who should be working on a bigger stage.

9) Dodgers 2, Giants 1: Dodgers are 5-17 in their last 22 games in San Francisco, losing last six of last seven games there.

Dodgers called up top outfield prospect Cody Bellinger, who is expected to play almost every day while Joc Pederson (groin strain) is on the DL.

8) PGA Tour event in New Orleans this week is a team event; two-man teams, first time there has been one on the PGA Tour since 1981.

7) Los Angeles Angels traded for Atlanta minor league pitcher David Hernandez, who was immediately added to the Halos’ big league roster. Hernandez was at a Faith Hill/Tim McGraw concert when he was notified of the trade.

6) Astros star Jose Altuve left Tuesday’s game in Cleveland in the 8th inning with what looked like a sore jaw after he collided with RF Teoscar Hernandez, who looked like he had a much more severe injury to his left leg.

5) Kansas has three hoop transfers who will be sitting out next year, then will be eligible to play in 2018-19; the Lawson brothers from Memphis and PG Charlie Moore from Cal. That reduces their eligible scholarship players for next year to 10 at the most- their bench could be thin.

4) When TNT replays NBA playoff games in the middle of the night, they replay the whole game, even the halftime shows. ESPN cuts a decent amount of their NBA game replays: “Due to time constraints we move ahead to further action”. Not sure why they do that.

3) ESPN was supposed to show Tigers-Indians this coming Monday night, but after the Red Sox threw at Manny Machado Sunday, they dropped that game and added Orioles-Red Sox to their Monday night programming.

2) 182 underclassmen (137 college, 45 foreign) have declared for the NBA Draft, in which only 60 players are drafted. Lot of the kids do not have agents and can go back to school, but there will also be several players heading to the D-League or Europe, having gotten poor advice.

You can make good money playing in Europe, but it ain’t the NBA.

1— I’ve whined a decent amount this year about NBA players needing “maintenance days” to rest up, either mentally/physically, from the grind of a long season.

Then there is the NHL; it came out after they lost to Edmonton in the playoffs that San Jose Sharks’ Joe Thornton played four games, with a torn ACL and MCL.

Let me repeat that: he played four hockey games WITH AN ALMOST TOTALLY SHREDDED KNEE!!! No maintenance days in pro hockey. Just really tough guys.

MLB Daily Line Drive: Wednesday's Picks, Betting Odds and Analysis

Double-Play Picks

Tampa Bay Rays at Baltimore Orioles (-140, 8)

The Orioles send red-hot Dylan Bundy to the mound in hopes of taking the rubber-match of a three game series against the visiting Rays.

Bundy is finally looking like the prospect who was so highly touted for all those years in the Orioles organization. The 24-year-old right hander is 3-1 in his four starts this season, pitching to a 1.37 ERA and a .987 WHIP and the best part is he has gotten stronger as the season has gone on.

Bundy has given up zero earned runs in 13 innings pitched with nine strikeouts and two walks in his last two outings.

Meanwhile for the Rays, Alex Cobb has been struggling. The right-hander has had trouble keeping runners off the base paths, pitching to a 1.589 WHIP and a 5.89 ERA in his last three starts which has resulted in the Rays dropping his last three starts.

Additionally, Will Little will be calling balls and strikes in this one. The home team is 10-1 in Little’s last 11 games behind home plate when Baltimore plays.

Pick: Orioles -140

Minnesota Twins at Texas Rangers (-150, 9)

The Twins will attempt to sweep away the Rangers when they close out a three-game series in Texas Wednesday night. Here’s hoping we don’t go to the well too many times in this series, but it’s hard to pass up.

As noted yesterday, 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 and surprise, surprise, the one-run they scored in last night’s 8-1 drubbing was via the long ball.

Texas ranks fourth in the bigs in home runs, but are 28th in batting average and 16th in scoring. The result has been them going Under in 10 of their last 12 games.

Making things tougher on Rangers batters they face Twins’ lefty Hector Santiago. The 29-year-old has had a great start to the season, pitching to a 2.19 ERA with 17 strikeouts and four walks in his four starts this season.

Luckily for Texas, they send Cole Hamels to the mound. The veteran has pitched well this season, throwing to a 2.77 ERA and is coming off an eight-inning, three hit performance in a 3-1 win over the Royals.

Pick: Under 9

Yesterday's Picks 1-0-1
Season to date: 12-11-1

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Tanner Roark, Washington Nationals (2-0, 3.65 ERA, $155)

Tanner Roark isn't exactly the flashiest name on today's starting pitching list. How does the Nationals' big righty stand out from the likes of Hamels, Lester, and Thor? Consistency.

Roark hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in any of his four starts this season. He owns a Team W/L record of 3-1 with the one loss coming in his best outing of 2017 (7 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 0 BB) in a 4-2 Nats loss against the Phillies.

Ground balls, ground balls, ground balls. Roark owns a 5.75/1 GB/FB ratio over his last two starts - that sounds like a recipe for success when faced with a start at Coors Field.

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!

Wednesday’s Top Trends

* The Tigers are 8-1 in their last 9 games vs. a left-handed starter. +125 today vs. Paxton and the M's.
* The Phillies are 1-11 in Vince Velasquez' last 12 starts. -105 today vs. Marlins.
* Under is 8-0 in the the Rangers' last 8 home games. Total today vs. Twins is set at 9.
* The Cardinals are 1-10 in their last 10 interleague home games. -190 today vs Blue Jays.

Weather to Keep an Eye on

After Tuesday's wild conditions in the Northeast wiped out a few games things look much better in that region today. Rain will impact the Kansas City Royals and the Chicago White Sox on the South Side of Chicago with a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon and a 40 percent chance of rain. There will also be rain in St. Louis where the Cardinals are scheduled to entertain the Toronto Blue Jays - a 90 percent chance of rain with the possibility of thunderstorms means this one could get bumped.

There should be a nice hitter's wind today in Arlington for the Twins at Rangers game (10-15 MPH out to center) and in Cleveland for the Astros and Indians (10-15 MPH out to left-center).

UMP of the Day

Ed Hickox: Hickox has drawn the home plate assignment for tonight's game between the Chicago Cubs and the Pirates in Pittsburgh. In three games behind the plate this season, Hickox owns a 3-0 Under record and the Under has cashed in six of his last seven dating back to last season. In those three games calling balls and strikes thus far in 2017, Mr. Hickox has a runs per game average of only 5.0. Jon Lester should enjoy getting an extra four inches on the outside corner today. The total for the Cubs and Pirates is set at 8.
