Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

Phil Steele’s top six teams in college football this season:

6) Penn State— Have 15 starters back this season.

5) Oklahoma— Wonder if coaching change will lower their rating?

4) USC— Last three times they were preseason top 10, they finished 22nd once and out of top 25 twice

3) Florida State— Play Alabama, Clemson Florida this year; none of them at home.

2) Ohio State— First two times Urban Meyer lost a bowl game, he won national title the next year. Buckeyes lost their bowl LY.

1) Alabama— Jump up to #67 in experience this year, after being #126 LY.

**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday…….

13) RIP Adam West, 89, TV’s Batman from the late 60’s, one of my favorite TV shows when I was a little kid, maybe my first favorite TV show. Late in his life, West did voiceovers for animated TV shows; Showtime did a special couple years ago on his family’s (successful) efforts to get their dad a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Lot of famous actors were guest villains on Batman; the show was great fun. RIP, sir.

12) I’m in a 16-team dynasty fantasy baseball league, which means you keep your players from year-to-year. Our league is 12 years old; I’ve had Giancarlo Stanton on my team since he was an 18-year old in the Class A Florida State League.

So I turn the Marlins’ game on Saturday and Ichiro Suzuki is already on first base, Yelich is batting— I figure they gave Stanton the day off, but no, he got drilled on the wrist and has already left the game. This is not good.

Jose Abreu got drilled on the knee Friday night and left the game— he’s on my squad too. No bueno when your two best hitters are both hurt, though Abreu did come back and played Saturday night.

11) Which reminds me of a story: I’m coaching a Little League All-Star tournament in Spring Valley, NY, about two hours south of where I live. This is 1995; my team needs to beat the same team twice in one night to win the title- they only had to beat us once to win.

So the first inning of the first game, one of our batters gets hit; then my pitcher gets hit in the head while batting in the same inning. Kid is lying on the ground; as we’re trying to make sure he is OK, have to tell the 2nd game pitcher to warm up to pitch this game.

Out of the blue, one of our fans (we’re in the third base dugout) yells out: “Stop throwing at our players!!!” Now this is a game in a foreign environment; the nightcap, if there is one, will be an actual night game under the lights— I don’t need this. Umpires did a good job of keeping most everyone calm.

Story has a happy ending; we win the first game, the kid who got hit in the head showed lot of guts by pitching (and winning) the second game. We advanced to Maryland for the next round of the tournament, a great example of the players carrying their coach!!!

10) Clark Griffith and Rockies’ manager Bud Black are only two men in baseball history who won 100+ games as a pitcher, and then 600+ games as a manager. Griffith wound up owning the Washington Senators; he was 237-146 in a career than spanned from 1891-1914.

9) Cardinals shook up their coaching staff Friday and also DFA’d SS Jhonny Peralta. Apparently the assistant hitting coach was put on a leave of absence; hard to believe their slump is that guy’s fault.

8) South Florida’s leading scorer Geno Thorpe (15.1 pts/game) will play at Syracuse next season as a graduate transfer. Hope he has some warm clothes.

7) Rays’ OF Kevin Keirmaier broke his hip on an awkward slide at 1B this week, is on the DL.

6) Detroit Lions’ LT Taylor Decker tore his labrum, could be out 4-6 months.

5) Houston Astros have some hard decisions to make; if Dallas Keuchel’s neck injury is serious, then they have to trade for one, probably two starting pitchers. Even if Keuchel comes back, the Houston pitching is shallow- they have a ton of good position players.

4) Milwaukee Brewers lost their last six extra-inning games.

3) Quote of the Day, part 2, from ESPN.com and Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo, which refer to the rescheduling of a rained out Nationals-Orioles game to this past Thursday:

“It rained all day that day (May 11), and the forecast said it would rain until 9:30 or 10. I sat in Buck’s (Showalter) office at 6:30, and we talked about it for 20 minutes. He was 100 percent on-board. He didn’t say anything about not canceling the game.

Their GM [Dan Duquette] was nowhere to be found for three, four hours. We wanted to play the next day. They refused to play then, so the next [open] day was [Thursday]. They drove 32 miles to get there. We flew 3,000 [expletive] miles, and we beat their [behinds]. So quit your whining. Quit whining.”

2) College football teams with best turnover ratio last year:
Washington/Western Michigan, both +18. Ohio State +!5

Teams wth worst turnover ratio last year:
Purdue/Southern Miss, both -17, East Carolina/Bowling Green, both -16.

1) Three college football teams with most returning experience on the offensive line this year:
San Jose State, Tennessee, Auburn

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

Double Play-Picks

Milwaukee Brewers at Arizona Diamondbacks (-155, 8.5)

Two of the hottest pitchers in baseball go head-to-head at Chase Field in Phoenix this afternoon when Chase Anderson and the Brewers take on Robbie Ray and the Diamondbacks.

We're going with the pick that gives us the best chance to cash a ticket today in this game.

Over his last three starts, Anderson owns an ERA of 0.00 in 21.2 innings pitched. He has been tremendous with only 10 hits allowed to go along with 22 strikeouts and only five walks (WHIP 0.69). The Under has cashed in those last three outings.

It's no secret that Robbie Ray has been the best pitcher in baseball over the last few weeks. In his last four trips to the hill, Ray has allowed only one earned run (0.30 ERA), 11 hits, and five walks to go allow with 36 strikeouts (0.527 WHIP). Five of his six starts at home this season have cashed for Under bettors.

Very rarely do these collisions of stellar pitching arms pan out into a pitcher's duel. However, in our opinion, the current total of 8.5 is too high (it actually opened at 9.5 and was bet down to the current number).

Both guys may not be in for a gem on the mound today, but one of them will spin a beauty and put the pressure on their offense to get above the posted number. This sets up like a 4-1 or 5-1 game this afternoon.

Pick: Under 8.5

Detroit Tigers at Boston Red Sox (-155, 11)

Sunday Night Baseball tonight will feature the struggling Detroit Tigers concluding their weekend series at Fenway Park in Boston against the Red Sox. The Sox won the first two games of the series and will be looking to convert the three-game sweep Sunday night.

The Tigers will send lefty Daniel Norris to the mound. Norris has been average this season with a team win/loss record of 5-6 and an ERA of 4.48. The dangerous number might be his opponent's on base percentage which currently sits at .356 for the 2017 season. Simply too many walks with 27 BBs over 11 starts this season (2.45 per start). Putting unnecessary runners on base at Fenway Park, especially as a lefty, can be a very dangerous game.

The Red Sox will counter with Drew Pomeranz who has recently turned into the starting pitcher they hoped they were acquiring from the San Diego Padres at last year's trade deadline. Over his last three starts, Pomeranz is 3-0 with an ERA of 2.00 and a very tidy 26 strikeouts to go along with only three walks. He's also been great at home in 2017 with a team win/loss record of 5-1 at Fenway.

Note: The Red Sox are 11-1 in their last 12 home games against left-handed starters.

Pick: Red Sox -155

Yesterday's Picks: 2-0
Season To Date: 59-48-6

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Max Scherzer, Washington Nationals (7-3, 2.35 ERA, $88)

Over his last three starts, Max Scherzer has looked more like the dominant power-pitcher that we're used to seeing on the mound for the Nationals.

"Mad Max" is 3-0 with a 0.73 ERA and a 0.61 WHIP in those last three outings. The most eye-popping numbers are his strikeouts with 38 Ks over his last 24.2 innings pitched - and only four walks.

Scherzer and the Nats, of course, are big favorites at -270 at home against the Texas Rangers this afternoon.

Slumping: J.A. Happ, Toronto Blue Jays (0-4, 5.33 ERA, $-360)

J.A. Happ was one of the big surprises of the 2016 season going 20-4 for the Toronto Blue Jays and looking fully in command in almost every one of his starts last season - 2017 has been a little bit of a different story for Happ.

He is 0-4 with an ERA of 5.33 and he missed more than a month with some left elbow inflammation. His two starts since returning from the D.L. haven't really been any better for him - 6.75 ERA, six walks and only 7 strikeouts, and four home runs allowed.

Happ is starting today in Seattle (which is always like a home game for the Blue Jays) and the Mariners are -145 favorites.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

Ump Of The Day

Alfonso Marquez: Marquez will be calling balls and strikes in Boston on Sunday Night Baseball tonight and he is one of MLB's top Over umpires at 9-2 this season, including Over in his last seven games behind the plate. Combine a stingy strike zone with the weather noted above and we could be in for a long night at Fenway Park.

The total for tonight's game between the Tigers and Red Sox opened at 10 and was bumped up to 11 due to sharp betting action on the Over.
