Armadillo:Monday's six-pack

— Nationals 23, Mets 5— Noah Syndegaard is headed to the DL (lat). No bueno.

— Anthony Rendon was 6-6 with three HR’s, 10 RBI; his 16 total bases is three short of the all-time record (Shawn Green).

— Jazz 104, Clippers 91— People who run the Clippers have some hard decisions to make this summer.

— Diamondbacks 2, Rockies 0 (13)— Weirdly low-scoring game between these division rivals.

— Cold-weather Cleveland Browns traded up to draft a kicker from Arizona State; what could possibly go wrong?

— Buffalo Bills fired their GM the day AFTER the draft, which is very strange.

May good month/bad month MLB starting pitchers

For horse racing fans, May is all about the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes. For baseball purists, May is simply the second month of the season as we head toward summer. For die-hard baseball fans that enjoy handicapping America’s pastime, it also signals the arrival of our annual May Good Month/Bad Month pitchers report.

Listed below are hurlers that have enjoyed a two-to-one or better success ratio in team-starts over the course of the last three seasons during the month of May. On the flip side, we've also listed pitchers that struggle in May, winning 33 percent or less of their team-start efforts. To qualify pitchers must have made a minimum of 10 starts, with at least one start each May over the last three years. And for your convenience alongside each record we break down each pitcher’s greatest success or greatest failure rate either home (H) or away (A) within his good or bad month.

Note: * designates a categorical repeat appearance by this pitcher, maintaining status quo from last season’s May list.

GOOD MONTH PITCHERS:

Madison Bumgarner, San Francisco Giants (15-3, 8-1 A)

Bumgarner is one the premier pitchers in baseball, though not the best bike rider which is why he starts this month on the DL. The left-hander is winless thus far after four starts, but that is a function of San Francisco not scoring as much as anything. MadBum is presumed to return to winning ways when he comes back.

Johnny Cueto, San Francisco Giants (12-4, 6-0 H)

Ceuto is the perfect No. 2 starter on almost any team and his array of starts and stops in his delivery keeps hitters off-balance. To date his numbers are off much like his team, but he's been top notch on May.

Zack Greinke, Arizona Diamondbacks (10-5, 4-2 A)

After a down year in 2016, Greinke is returning to his form of old. While he might not throw as hard as a few years ago, he has an outstanding collection of pitches to keep batter's guessing. The righty is the leader of an improving Arizona staff.

Phil Hughes, Minnesota Twins (10-5, 6-2 H)

Once thought of as a potential ace, Hughes has turned out to be a serviceable starting pitcher. Though he's enjoyed good success this month, he has an ERA around 4.5 for his career and team's have a batting average of about .270 against him.

* Felix Hernandez, Seattle Mariners (12-4, 7-1 A)

The King has right shoulder inflammation and will not likely return until the middle of May. Though only 31, the velocity continues to drop and Hernandez is finding his way to the DL more often after a decade of heavy usage.

Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers (11-5, 6-2 H)

Kershaw is still the best pitcher in baseball and has been for some time. His numbers are that of another era, as opposing teams are batting .205 lifetime against him. Already a first ballot Hall of Famer.

Lance Lynn, St. Louis Cardinals (8-3, 6-1 H)

Lynn is back from elbow surgery and has been better than new with every one of current stats well below career norms. What we have witnessed is more tilt on the breaking pitches and he's really spotting his fastball expertly.

David Price, Boston Red Sox (11-5, 5-1 H)

Price's rehab has been coming along and at the end of April was supposed to start throwing to batters. If all goes well, should return sometime this month. Great talent who has lost a little on the fastball, however, secondary pitches are still excellent.

Garrett Richards, Los Angeles Angels (8-4, 4-2 H)

Has not thrown since suffering biceps strain and has not been cleared to throw. Richards is elite talent who keeps finding ways to get hurt. The Angels could really use their ace.

* Chris Sale, Boston Red Sox (10-3, 4-1 A)

Sale is at the top of his game and embraced the role of being Boston's best pitcher. The big left-hander decided to sacrifice a little velocity (still throws in the mid 90's) in order to pitch deeper into games and to say that is working is an understatement. Like Kershaw, is a must watch hurler.

BAD MONTH PITCHERS:

Andrew Cashner, Texas Rangers (3-9, 1-4 H)

Overrated starting pitcher for years who fits the old Yogi Berra line "He pitches good enough to lose." Cashner's ERA remains under 4 for his career, but makes that one or two mistakes that costs his team's games. Currently has more walks than strikeouts.

Anibal Sanchez, Detroit Tigers (4-11, 2-6 A)

Sanchez is 33 and his stuff has gotten bad enough where Detroit can no longer keep him in the rotation. He is now doing long relief or middle of the game relief and Sanchez has hardly been a relief with an ERA over 9.

Ervin Santana, Minnesota Twins (3-8, 1-4 H)

Santana has been fantastic to start the year for Minnesota, with an ERA under one and teams batting an unfathomable .116 against him. Will this continue, no, because no matter how Santana starts, fast or slow, he almost always is around career numbers. Nonetheless, he has been overwhelming.

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

Double-Play Picks

Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals (-155, 8.5)

The Brewers and Cardinals kick off their four-game rivalry series with a Monday evening matchup of righty starters - Zack Davies and Michael Wacha.

This first pick of the new week comes down to two major factors: the Brewers' starting pitcher and the weather.

Davies is not an acceptable major league starting pitcher. Somehow, he managed to spin five shutout innings in his last start at home against the Cincinnati Reds, but despite that effort his season ERA is still a puffy 6.57. All five of his starts this season, and nine of his last 10 overall dating back to last season, have gone Over the closing total. Davies' last start against the Cards was two weeks ago when he allowed four runs over 5.1 innings of work - he'll be hard-pressed to duplicate that mediocre effort tonight.

Never place a totals wager without checking the weather report! The wind for Monday night in St. Louis is expected to be blowing straight out to center field at 13-15 miles per hour.

Pick: Over 8.5

Chicago White Sox at Kansas City Royals (-115, 8.5)

Revenge is a dish best served...pretty warm...perhaps even hot.

One week ago in Chicago, Kansas City Royals' lefty Jason Vargas swaggered his way into Guaranteed Rate Field on the city's South Side as the best pitcher in baseball (3-0, 0.44 ERA). By the end of that evening the White Sox had taught him a valuable lesson about being too confident, with the final result (mostly because of the Royals' bullpen) being a 12-1 Kansas City loss.

Exactly seven days later, Vargas will straddle the rubber atop his home field mound at Kauffman Stadium loaded with just the right amount of "fear and ignorance" (or is it "fear and arrogance"?), and he will spite his evil enemy with a might revenge performance.

Pick: Royals -155

Yesterday: 1-1
Season: 17-16-1

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Dylan Bundy, Baltimore Orioles (3-1, 1.65 ERA, $300)

The Orioles send Dylan Bundy to the mound at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox in a game that should carry with it some playoff intensity after the events of last week between these two teams.

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 five starts this season (Team W/L 4-1), pitching to a 1.65 ERA and a .980 WHIP

Slumping: Gerrit Cole, Pittsburgh Pirates (1-3, 3.60 ERA, $-51)

Gerrit Cole gets the ball for the Pittsburgh Pirates today in Cincinnati against the Reds. The "Slumping Starting Pitcher" section for today is not reserved for a starter who is off to a terrible start to 2017 (Team W/L of 2-3 and a 3.60 ERA could certainly be worse), but instead for a starting pitcher who is slumping, and has always slumped, against one particular opponent.

The Pirates have been a very competitive team in the National League Central for most of Cole's career (this is his fifth season) but for some strange reason they can not beat the Reds when he pitches. Today will be his ninth career start against Cincinnati and the Pirates are 0-8 in his previous eight outings.

He has never allowed any more than five earned runs against the Reds in any start, but for some reason his team just can't seem to win those games. Snake-bitten.

Monday's Top Trends

* Over is 10-0 in Trevor Bauer's last 10 starts vs. the Detroit Tigers. Total today @ Detroit is set at 9.
* The Pittsburgh Pirates are 0-8 in Gerrit Cole's eight career starts vs. the Cincinnati Reds. Pirates -125 faves @ Cincy.
* The Miami Marlins are 8-1 in Wei-Yin Chen's last nine starts at home. -130 today vs. Rays.
* Under is 10-1 in Jason Vargas' last 11 starts. Total today vs. White Sox set at 8.5.

Weather to Keep an Eye On

There is a 40-50 percent chance of rain all day on the North Side of Chicago where the Cubs will welcome the Philadelphia Phillies to town. If this game happens it will feature a 17-20 mile per hour wind blowing straight out to center field at Wrigley. The total was late arriving, but has been set at 10.5.

One other notable hitter's wind will happen at Busch Stadium in St. Louis where the Cards and Brewers hitters will be enjoying a 13-15 miles per hour breeze blowing straight out to center. The total for that one is currently at 8.5.
