Armadillo:Saturday's six-pack

— Clippers 98, Jazz 93— Game 7 is in Staples Center Sunday afternoon.

— Boston eliminated the Bulls, Wizards ousted the Hawks, both on the road.

— Blues 2, Predators 1— Nashville’s first loss in six playoff games this spring.

— Oilers 2, Ducks 1— Edmonton wins first two series games, both on the road.

— Arizona P Shelby Miller tore his UCL, is done for the year.

— Larry Bird stepped down from running the Pacers Friday; playing the game and running a franchise are two different skills.

**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Random stuff with the weekend here……..

13) Apparently our politicians make a boatload of money; I’ve heard of three groups involved with buying the Miami Marlins— one includes Jeb Bush, one includes Ivanka Trump’s brother-in-law and another one involving Mitt Romney’s son.

Must be nice to be rich.

12) Florida State’s Dalvin Cook finally got drafted by the Vikings with the #41 pick; apparently there are concerns about some of his friends, who he hangs out with.

With lot of players, the concerns aren’t about during the season, it is about the off-season, when their free time combined with having a lot of money can turn into problems. Hopefully things will work out of the best for Cook— he’s an excellent player.

From watching the Showtime show on Florida State football last fall, Cook also seemed like a good kid.

11) With the #48 pick, the Bengals took Oklahoma RB Joe Mixon, who dropped in the draft because he broke his girlfriend’s jaw (on camera) three years ago. It was reported Friday nite that only four teams considered drafting Mixon.

10) Chicago Bears beat the 49ers 26-6 last December, which is why they had the #3 pick, not the #2 pick in the draft. That win cost them two draft picks, the picks they sent to SF to switch spots Thursday night.

9) Bronx 14, Baltimore 11 (10)— Orioles led 11-4 in the middle of the 7th inning. These teams are now tied for first place in the AL East.

8) It is April 29 and the White Sox are in first place in the AL Central. Surprising.

7) Mets are 9-13; Syndergaard is hurt, Cespedes is hurt. Been a rough month.

6) There are 2.5 games separating first and last place in the NL Central.

5) Jason Terry is a substitute guard for the Bucks; he’s played 17 years in the NBA. Last summer, he interviewed for the vacant UAB head coaching job. I’m guessing he would’ve had to take a pay cut if UAB hired him.

4) If I ever write a book, one of the chapters will be “Baseball players get hurt a lot.”

3) I have a team in a 16-team fantasy baseball league; 25 guys on a team, can have minor leaguers on the roster.

As I type this this, there are 42 players on the DL, only 3.5 weeks into the season, and thats not counting the guys who got cut because they might be out for the year or most of the year.

2) Was watching the Toronto-Milwaukee NBA game Thursday night; was cool to see players from the Milwaukee Brewers watching the game together in a suite in the arena. Players live together for 7-8 months; bonding events like this one must make the season more fun.

1— This is old news, but bears reporting: St Peter’s went 10-0 vs spread in their MAAC road games this past winter. Very hard to do that; they didn’t cover either of their games in the MAAC tournament, but they finished the season 23-13 with the #34 experience team in the country.

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


Double-Play Picks

Los Angeles Angels at Texas Rangers (-160, 8.5)

The Rangers and Angels continue their AL West showdown this weekend after the Angels took the first game of the series 6-3 for their fifth consecutive win.
The Halos squeaked out three of those victories by a mark of 2-1 and are averaging just four runs per game during their current streak, which is just a tick higher than their season average of 3.86. That ranks 26th in the MLB.

The Angels face a tall task if they hope to extend the streak to six games as they go up against Rangers ace Yu Darvish.

Darvish has had a solid start to the season going 2-2 with a 3.03 ERA and 31 strikeouts. The right-hander has also face the Angels once this season, throwing seven innings of shutout ball, allowing five hits while ringing up 10 Los Angeles batters.

While the Rangers offense has struggled this season (except for when it comes to hitting dingers), they should be able to succeed against Angels starter Jesse Chavez, who has a 4.12 ERA and allowed a home run in three of his last four outings.

Pick: Rangers -160

Atlanta Braves at Milwaukee Brewers (-120, 9)

The Milwaukee Brewers offense led by Eric Thames has been the talk of this young season, but it was the Braves who outslugged the Brewers 10-8 in Game 1 of their three-game weekend series.

The Brewers rank second in runs scored this season at 5.33 per game, second in OPS at .806 and first in home runs at 43 thanks to the ridiculously hot start from Thames, who has taken the league by storm since his return from Korea, leading the majors in home runs with 11 and OBP at a whopping 1.354.

The new and power-happy Brewers lineup has been a boon for Over bettors going 10-1 O/U in their last 11 games including 5-0 in the last five, in which they have averaged a huge 8.2 runs per game.

Meanwhile the Braves offense hasn’t been too shabby, scoring 8.3 runs per game in their last three, cashing the over in each game. The Over is also 5-0 in the Braves last five games against NL Central teams.

Throw in the fact this game features a pitching matchup of Jamie Garcia (4.24 ERA) and Jimmy Nelson (4.56 ERA) and it feels like the trend should continue.

Pick: Over 9


Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Zack Greinke, Arizona Diamondbacks (2-2, 2.93 ERA, $132)

Maybe it just took Zack Greinke a year to get used to those Arizona uniforms, before he could get comfortable, because he is starting to look like his old self in 2017.

The Diamondbacks ace is 2-2 with a 2.93 ERA, while racking up 31 strikeouts to just six walks this season. Greinke has been even more dominant in his last two outings, allowing just two runs in 14 innings of work with 17 strikeouts and just one walk. The Diamondbacks are currently -126 faves against the visiting Rockies.

Slumping: Steven Wright, Boston Red Sox (1-2, 8.66 ERA, $-238)

It feels like a long time since Steven Wright was an All-Star for the Red Sox , even though it was just last July.

The knuckleballer has allowed four or more earned runs in three of his first four starts this season, resulting in a ballooned ERA of 8.66. Wright has struck out just nine batters, while walking four and he has really struggled in keeps runners off the base paths allowing an opponent’s OBP of .448.

Friday's Top Trends

* Royals are 0-8 in their last eight games overall and 0-11 in last 11 against division opponents. -125 vs. Twins.
* Astros are 10-0 in the last 10 meetings against the Athletics. Astros -153
* Yankees are 7-0 in their last seven vs. American League East opponents. -173 vs. Orioles today.

There is also going to be a 70 percent chance of rain during the game. The total for this contest is currently 8.
