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

13) Revisionist historians were out at the NFL Draft last weekend; Bill Walsh didn’t “find” Joe Montana in the 1979 draft, he didn’t even want the 49ers to take him. Seriously.

49ers had a scout named Tony Razzano who (along with former Denver coach John Ralston) wanted the Niners to draft Montana. Walsh wanted Steve Dils, whom he had coached at Stanford. The scouts won out and since then people have jostled for position to take credit for it.

49ers took Montana in the third round; Dils wound up getting selected by Minnesota in the 4th round, lasted 10 years in the NFL, starting only 27 games (10-17).

12) A football fan in San Francisco paid $30,000 to sit in the 49ers’ draft room last weekend.

11) A 3-star basketball recruit from Georgia was all set to sign with Eastern Kentucky, until Duke jumped in and offered the kid a scholarship, which the kid took.

Huh? Duke doesn’t pursue 3-star recruits, so what gives?

Well, current Blue Devil Frank Jackson hasn’t withdrawn from the NBA Draft yet, and Trevon Duval hasn’t decided where his six months of college will happen— if neither of those two guards plays at Duke next year, then Jordan Goldwire will find himself as Duke’s point guard.

If Jackson/Duval both attend Duke next year, then Goldwire will work hard in practice and never see the light of day in game situations that matter.

10) So far this baseball season, Cubs’ starting pitchers have a 9.69 ERA in the first inning, which is very bad.

9) Boston’s Chris Sale threw behind Manny Machado in the first inning last nite; both benches were warned. Machado later homered in the 7th inning off of Sale.

Orioles turned a triple play in the bottom of the 8th inning of a 5-2 Boston win.

8) Miami’s Edinson Volquez allowed three runs in 4.1 IP last nite; he walked 8, struck out 9 in a Little League-like appearance. Of the 23 batters he faced, 17 walked/struck out. He is only the second pitcher in last 100 years to walk 7+ hitters, strike out 9+ and not finish the 5th inning- he left with a blister problem.

7) Phillies’ pitcher Vince Velasquez has good potential; he struck out 16 Padres in an April game LY, but in order to help the Phillies, he has to get deeper into games.

Philly handed Velasquez a 7-0 lead in 2nd inning Monday, but he still lasted only five innings, throwing 98 pitches. That means the bullpen needed to get 12 outs in a game where they had a huge lead and should’ve been able to relax some.

Over the course of a long six-month season, bullpens need some down time.

6) When he was 11-12 years old. Tampa Bay Rays’ P Alex Cobb was a spring training batboy for the Dodgers in Vero Beach. Sounds like a fun job for a kid.

5) Looks like Valparaiso will be replacing Wichita State in the Missouri Valley Conference; there was some thought that the league would add three teams (Omaha, Murray State were mentioned) to get to 12 teams.

4) Indians’ ace Corey Kluber left last night’s game with back discomfort, bad news for Cleveland.

3) ESPN fired Ed Werder even though his contract runs thru April 2019; how does this make any sense? The guy is really good at his job, you have to pay him for two more years anyway, and you still fire him? It makes you wonder what really is in play here.

2) Nick Saban got a contract extension this week. From ESPN.com:

“Saban will receive a $4 million signing bonus and make $6.725 million in salary this year. He gets another $400,000 bonus for completing the season, bringing his total compensation for the year to $11.125 million. He has completion bonuses in each year of the contract, culminating in a $3.6 million payout after the 2021 season before going back down to $400,000 per year in subsequent seasons.”

Saban is the 2nd-highest paid college coach in the country, behind Jim Harbaugh.

1— The wife of talk show host Jimmy Kimmel gave birth to a little boy couple weeks ago; young man was born with some heart problems, but is doing better now. Kimmel started his show Monday nite with a monologue describing what happened and thanking all the people who helped. He had a list and read it, with lot of nurses/doctors’ names on it.

Kimmel is a wealthy guy, but what if it was my kid or yours? Could I afford that kind of health care? Could you? The baby has already had one heart operation; he’ll need two more before the problem is totally behind him.

One of Kimmel’s points in his monologue was this: No parent should have to decide whether he/she has enough money to save their child’s life. Good health care is for all Americans, not just the wealthy ones. Makes a lot of sense.

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

Double-Play Picks

Arizona Diamondbacks at Washington Nationals (-132, 8)

The Washington Nationals and their No. 1 ranked offense will look to bounce back in their series against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks after dropping the opener 6-3.

The Nationals lead the majors with 173 runs scored this season, that’s 26 more than the next closest team (the unfathomable 23 run outburst against the Mets on Sunday helps a bit), including 76 in their last seven games.

Washington also leads the MLB in team batting average, OPS and are second in home runs.

They’ll face off against the D-backs' Robbie Ray, who has an ERA of 6.00 in his last two starts with a WHIP of 1.583.

Meanwhile, the Nats will send Gio Gonzalez to the hill, who is having somewhat of a resurgence this season. The lefty is 3-0 with a 1.62 ERA in five starts, allowing two earned runs or fewer in each.

This is too much value for an offense this good, sending a good pitcher to the mound.

Pick: Nationals -132

Pittsburgh Pirates at Cincinnati Reds (+115, 8.5)

The Pittsburgh Pirates continue their four-game series in Cincinnati Wednesday against the Reds with the NL Central rivals splitting the first two games.

Cincinnati actually won the first four games against Pittsburgh this season, but the Pirates exacted some revenge Tuesday in a 12-3 thrashing of the Reds.

The Pirates offense is starting to get on track, plating 6.7 runs per game over their last six games, but it’s been pitching that has carried the Bucs. They rank ninth in team ERA (3.84) and fourth in quality starts with 16.

Pittsburgh sends Jameson Taillon to the mound Wednesday. The 25-year-old right-hander has been excellent for the Pirates, going 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA in five starts and has been even better on the road, pitching to a 0.47 ERA.

The Reds meanwhile are starting to come off the rails. Their team ERA has ballooned to 4.79 (29th in the MLB) and have allowed 7.8 runs per game in their last 10 contests.

Cincy counters with Rookie Davis. Davis, a rookie (no, seriously, that’s his name) at 24-years-old, has been hammered in his young major league career, pitching to a 11.17 ERA in three starts. Opponents have a crazy good .472 OPB against him and he has just two more strikeouts than walks.

Pick: Pirates -135

Yesterday: 0-2
Season: 19-18-1

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Kendall Graveman, Oakland Athletics (2-1, 2.25 ERA, $51)

His Win/Loss numbers may not be setting the world on fire (2-1, Team W/L 2-2), but that's life as a starting pitcher for the Oakland A's.

Despite being pushed back with a minor shoulder issue, his last start was typical of 2017's Kendall Graveman - at least six innings, less than 2 runs allowed, solid K:BB ratio. Graveman hasn't allowed more than two runs in any of his four starts this season and is emerging (if nothing else) as a solid Under play (3-1 in 2017, 11-3 in last 14 dating back to last season).

Graveman starts today in Minneapolis against the Twins (Hector Santiago). The A's are slight dogs at -105 and the total is set at 9.

Slumping: Jered Weaver, San Diego Padres (0-2, 4.71 ERA, $-500)

You have to feel a little bit sorry for Jered Weaver, right? He hasn't pitched horribly this season (although three home runs allowed in his last start isn't a great look) but his team just isn't winning games for him. Oh well, he chose to sign with the Padres rather than take a minor league deal or bullpen role with a better team.

Weaver is 0-2 on the season with a Team W/L record of 0-5. He had a good sinker/change combo going for him in his first four starts but that went out the window in his last start at Chase Field against the Diamondbacks, allowing five runs on three long-balls.

Weaver gets the ball at home today against the Rockies as a +105 underdog, the total is set at 8.

Wednesday's Top Trends

* Under is 6-0 in Carlos Carrasco's last 6 starts overall. O/U: 7.5 tonight @ Tigers.
* Over is 9-1 in the Cincinnati Reds' last 10 overall. O/U: 8.5 tonight vs. Pirates.
* The New York Yankees are 0-6 in CC Sabathia's last 6 starts vs. the Toronto Blue Jays. -110 today at Yankee Stadium.
* The Oakland Athletics are 1-7 in their last 8 overall. -110 today @ Twins

Weather to Keep an Eye On

Based on the current forecast, it looks like the Brewers and Cardinals could be washed out this evening in St. Louis. There is a 90-100 percent chance of rain all evening.

As for wind, there will be a 10-15 mile per hour hitter's wind blowing out to right at Fenway for the Orioles and Red Sox. The total is currently 9. There will be a pitcher's wind (10-15 miles per hour) blowing straight in from center at Kauffman Stadium for the White Sox and Royals with a total of 8 on the board.

Ump of the Day

Bill Welke: Let's just get right to the point here...Bill Welke doesn't like Canada. Of course we're kidding, but the fact that the Jays have only won one of their last six with him behind the plate certainly doesn't help his case any. Also of note with Welke - the home team has won his last five games calling balls and strikes involving the Yankees and the home team is 3-0 in his three career games calling for CC Sabathia.

The Yankees and Jays are a Pick 'Em today at Yankee Stadium and the Total is set at 8.5.
