Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

Some interesting pointspreads for Labor Day weekend college football games:

— Wyoming @ Iowa (-11.5)

— Florida vs Michigan (-3) (@ Cowboys Stadium)

— Florida State vs Alabama (-4) (@ Atlanta)

— West Virginia vs Virginia Tech (-5) (@ Redskins Stadium)

— Texas A&M @ UCLA (-4)

— Tennessee (-3) vs Georgia Tech (@ Atlanta)

**********

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Random stuff with the long weekend here

13) One of the tough parts about coaching in the NFL is when there is tension between the offense and defense; one side of the ball doesn’t carry its weight and the losing that results creates dissension and other problems.

Seattle Seahawks have been really good the last several years, but they also have lot of strong personalities; there are stories on the Interweb this spring of defensive players being unhappy with the offense, both players/coaches, since the Super Bowl loss to New England, when Seattle had the ball on the Patriots’ goal line at the end of the game but failed to score.

Its going to take maturity from the players involved to soothe things; the Seahawks’ window is closing- they have lot of veteran guys. Will be interesting to follow that this fall, especially if they bring Colin Kaepernick in as a backup QB.

12) South Point Casino has one of the best sportsbooks in Las Vegas; they posted odds Thursday for Week 1 of college football, which is Labor Day weekend. With game limits at $1,000 a game, they had $70,000 in action in the first two hours the lines were posted.

11) College basketball teams are allowed to take one overseas trip in the offseason every four years. Among the teams taking overseas trips this summer: Arizona State, Butler, Oklahoma, TCU and Kansas. These trips really help, as far as improving team chemistry and also the ten practices teams can have before the trip.

10) Cavaliers 135, Celtics 102— Cleveland’s 75 first half points were the most first half points in any NBA playoff game since Dallas had 83 against the Kings in a 2003 game.

The NBA has a problem when Charles Barkley is on TV, saying he is going back to his hotel to watch the hockey game on TV, instead of the NBA game.

9) David Price will make his 2017 debut for the Red Sox Monday afternoon, against the White Sox in Chicago. Price is in the second year of a 7-year, $217M contract; he has had problems with elbow/forearm inflammation.

8) Thursday was Ryan Braun’s 10th anniversary as a big leaguer, and since his whole career has been with Milwaukee, that makes him a 10-and-5 man; Brewers can’t trade him now without his consent. (Braun left Thursday night’s game with a pulled calf muscle.)

7) In case you were wondering, Cardinals’ WR Mel Gray (14), Redskins’ WR Charley Taylor (13) have scored the most TD’s against the Dallas Cowboys.

6) Astros’ reliever Jordan Jankowski made his MLB debut against Detroit this week; his wife’s name is also Jordan Jankowski- she is pregnant. Mrs Jankowski was openly sobbing in the stands as her husband was making his debut- tears of joy, I’m assuming. Always good to see happy people.

5) Baseball season is 54 days old; Dodgers have already put 20 players on the DL.

4) Mississippi State football coach Dan Mullen seems like a good guy; he was on Paul Finebaum’s show on EPSNU Thursday, which was at a golf course where it was pouring rain.

Without missing a beat, Mullen looks at the rain and says: “I’d play thru. I don’t think the heavy stuff is going to come down for a while”, a direct quote from Bill Murray in Caddyshack.

You think Nick Saban could rattle off a Caddyshack quote like that? I think not.

3) Mets have eight players on the DL; Terry Collins has apparently stopped talking to the media about injured players and their conditions— has the front office told him to stop? If so, postgame talks will either be really contentious or really short— there isn’t a whole lot else to talk about with this team, which at this point isn’t a good team.

2) Padres 4, Mets 3— More incompetence from the Mets, who lose here to a pitcher named LaMet; they scratched Jacob deGrom from his start Thursday because it might rain— it did rain some, but the game was never even delayed and the Mets lost to the woeful Padres. Now deGrom has a tougher task Friday, pitching at Pittsburgh. Geniuses.

1) For me, the worst part of being an Oakland A’s fan is that this time of year, with the A’s drifting near the bottom of the standings at 21-25, speculation has started about their trading their better players for prospects, to restock their farm system.

ESPN’s Buster Olney writes about this stuff a lot this time of year; I wish I had a dollar every time he wrote “A’s to trade Barry Zito to New York”, which never happened, but now he comes out with his “Sonny Gray is on the trading block” story Thursday. Oy.

Have some imagination; write about trades AFTER they happen. Find some other interesting stuff to write about. Small market fans are tired of having their pockets picked every summer, whether in real life or by lazy sportswriters looking for an easy story to write.

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

The Rockies return home after a grueling 10-game road trip and their reward? A date with the Cardinals Carlos Martinez Friday night.

Double-Play Picks

St. Louis Cardinals at Colorado Rockies (+103, 10.5)
At the start of the season many people believed this would be the year the Rockies would take a leap forward, but not many thought the leap was going to be this big. Colorado leads the NL West with a 31-18 record and they look to improve that record when they welcome the Cardinals to town Friday night to start a three-game weekend set.

The Rockies have always been known for their bats and this season is no different as they rank in the Top 10 in runs, average, OPS and home runs, but what is different is their young rotation.

Led by the likes of Jon Gray, Kyle Freeland and Antonio Senzatela, the Rockies pitching staff ranks 13th in ERA, 11th in WHIP and 11th in strikeouts.

It will be Senzatela toeing the rubber Friday night and while the rookie has faded a bit recently, it has mostly been an outstanding campaign. The 22-year-ld leads the Rockies in wins with six and owns a 3.67 ERA and a 1.222 WHIP, which is impressive seeing as over half his starts come at the very hitter friendly Coors Field.

The Cardinals will counter with Carlos Martinez. The Cardinals right-hander has been dealing, pitching to a 2.79 ERA in his last five starts and is coming off a nine inning, two-hit, shutout performance in his last outing against the Giants. St. Louis’ offense has fallen off a bit lately scoring just 3.9 runs per game over the last eight games.

The Rockies are also coming off a grueling 10-game road trip, where they mostly feasted on lesser pitching, but the bats could be in for a let-down after their first night at home in about a week and a half.

So, we have two good pitchers going at it, with an inflated Coors Field total, with a home team coming off a major road trip. Oh yeah, the Under is also 4-1 in the last five meetings in Colorado.

Pick: Under 10.5

Arizona Diamondbacks at Milwaukee Brewers (-114, 8.5)

The Milwaukee Brewers slugged their way to the top of the NL Central standings, but their bats have gone silent so far during their current home stand, scoring just 2.33 runs per game. The Brew Crew will continue their four-game set with the red-hot Diamondbacks Friday night after getting shutout 4-0 in the opener.

The Brewers offense has tailed off, just as first baseman Eric Thames has cooled off after a red-hot start. Thames hit 11 home runs in his first 22 games, but has just two in the 25 games since.

Milwaukee sends right-hander Junior Guerra to the mound to make just his second start of the season after straining his right calf in his first start back on April 3.

Arizona, which has won nine its last 10 ball games, has feasted on right-handed pitching this year. They have scored the second most runs in the MLB of right-handed pitching and are first in batting average and OPS when facing righties.

The Diamondbacks counter with Zack Godley. The 27-year-old right hander is coming off three consecutive quality starts and has a 2.45 ERA in his four starts this season.

Look for the Diamondbacks to stay hot.

Pick: Diamondbacks +104

Yesterday's Picks: 0-2
Season to Date: 43-36-3

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Eduardo Rodriguez, Boston Red Sox (3-1, 3.10 ERA, $358)

It might have taken longer than Red Sox fans wanted but Eduardo Rodriguez is starting to live up to the hype and become an integral piece of the starting pitching staff.

The southpaw has polished off six consecutive quality starts and ranks in the top 20 of our Starter Money Leaderboard at $+358. While his 3-1 record is deceiving, the Red Sox are 6-2 (2-0 at Fenway Park) when he takes to the rubber.

In his last six starts he has a BAA of .196 a ERA of 1.83 and only allowed two home runs. The Red Sox are -159 home chalk today against the Seattle Mariners.

Slumping: Masahiro Tanaka, New York Yankees (5-3, 6.56 ERA, $112)

It has been an awful two weeks for Masahiro Tanaka and the Yankees when the righty takes to the mound. In his last two starts he’s went a combined 4.2 innings and allowed a staggering 14 earned runs.

The Yankees offence has hidden how awful Tanaka has been this season, in nine starts this season he has given up 13 home runs, has an ERA of 6.56 and a BAA of .310. And the over has cashed in seven of his nine starts.

Can he snap out of his slump today at Yankee Stadium? The total for Yankees hosting the Athletics is 9.5.

Friday's Top Trends

* Royals are 0-8 in the last 8 meetings in Cleveland. Indians -166
* Marlins are 1-10 in their last 11 home games. Angels +105
* Diamondbacks are 7-0 in their last 7 games vs. a right-handed starter. Diamondbacks -105
* Cardinals are 8-1 in their last 9 road games vs. a right-handed starter. Cardinals -105
* Braves are 7-0 in their last 7 vs. National League West. Braves +107

Weather To Keep An Eye On

The only high chance of precipitation in Friday’s MLB forecast is in Detroit where the Tigers will host the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. There is a chance of thunderstorms developing throughout the day with a P.O.P. listed at 85 percent at first pitch, but that does decrease as the evening goes along. The line is currently off the board.

There will be a moderate hitters wind at Yankee Stadium, where the Yankees host the Athletics. It will be gusting out to right field around 10 miles per hour. The total is currently 9.5.

The wind will be blowing out to straight center field at a clip between 12-15 miles per hour at AT&T Park in San Francisco, where the Braves are in town for a weekend series. The total is currently at an even 8.
