Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

— US Open champ Brooks Koepka is the great-nephew of Dick Groat, the former Pirates’ SS who at age 86, is still on the Pitt Panthers’ basketball radio broadcast team.

— 20 days later, Hunter Strickland’s 6-game suspension from the Bryce Harper incident was upheld. What took so long?

— William & Mary grad transfer Greg Malinowski has committed to Georgetown; he scored 7.7 ppg at W&M last year, made 40% of his 3’s.

— Butler’s best recruit, Kyle Young, jumps from the Bulldogs to Ohio State, now coached by former Butler coach Chris Holtmann.

— Since becoming the Cubs’ leadoff hitter, Anthony Rizzo is 5-5 with a walk in the 1st inning.

— Marlins 8, Nationals 7— Miami was down 6-0 in this game.

**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but……..

13) Colorado Rockies are 46-26, the Cinderella team of baseball; their pitching rotation has four rookie starters. Here is their experience and IP last year:

Tyler Chatwood: Most experienced of the five- he threw 158 IP LY, missed all of 2015, most of 2014 with an injury. Has started 20+ games three times in six MLB seasons. He’s tossed 90.1 innings this year.

German Marquez: 187.1 IP LY, only 20.2 of them in majors. He’s thrown 63.2 innings this year, technically still his rookie season.

Jeff Hoffman: 150 IP LY, 31.1 of them in majors; 76 IP this year, 32 of them in the majors.

Antonio Senzatela: Threw only 34.1 innings LY, has thrown 83.1 this year, his rookie season. He threw 144 innings in 2014, 154 in 2015.

Kyle Freeland: Threw 162 innings LY, has thrown 81.2 this year, his rookie season.

Pitching home games in Coors Field figures to be more stressful than most big league ballparks; can these rookie pitchers stand up for 3.5 more months? I’m not saying they can’t, but it is a fair question to ask.

12) Golfers Brooks Koepka and Daniel Berger were teammates at Florida State in 2012; now they’ve won on the PGA Tour in consecutive weeks.

Koepka finished 11th in the ACC tournament in 2012. Wonder what those other 10 guys are thinking today?

I looked at the 10 names who finished ahead of Koepka; only ones I recognized were Berger and Ollie Schneiderjans, who were in a 4-way tie for 7th.

Last seven golf majors have all been won by first-time major winners.

11) Former Minnesota Timberwolves’ GM David Kahn told this story on CBSSports.com:

“In 2009, just days after my May 22 hiring as President of Basketball Operations for the Minnesota Timberwolves, the agent for Steph Curry told me that Steph’s father, Dell, did not want his son to be drafted by Minnesota — “No offense,” as I recall Jeff Austin, his agent saying to me at the Chicago draft combine.”

Archie Manning did the same thing with the Chargers and his son Eli, forcing a trade, so Lavar Ball is not the first dad to meddle in his son’s dealings, he is just the loudest one.

10) Kahn didn’t do too well with Minnesota; he went on NBAtv once during a summer league game in Las Vegas, and Chris Webber, the analyst on the game, ripped him to shreds over some of his moves. When Kahn compared one of the Wolves to Webber as a player, Webber lit into him and the interview quickly degenerated from there.

9) Obscure movie trivia: At the end of The Bodyguard, when Kevin Costner’s character is guarding some police chief at a Rotary Club banquet, the actor who introduces the chaplain to give the invocation is Bert Remsen, who played the basketball coach Gabe Kaplan’s team had to beat at the end of the great basketball movie Fast Break, one of my favorite movies.

8) I’m not sure which one confuses me more, Michael Strahan as host of the $10,000 Pyramid or Drew Carey hosting The Price is Right. I watched both of these shows a lot during my misguided youth, when Dick Clark/Bob Barker were the hosts.

If they bring back Gambit and Wink Martindale isn’t the host, I ain’t gonna be happy.

7) Washington Redskins benefit from a Supreme Court ruling in a dispute over trademark issues- it likely increases the chances of the Redskins being allowed to keep the trademark for their controversial nickname.

6) Earlier this spring, I read a cool article on ESPN.com about Houston Rockets’ coach Mike D’Antoni and his wife, who have been together for a long time.

This from the article: “Many of D’Antoni’s best qualities as a coach— patience, humor, a refusal to scream and yell for the sake of screaming and yelling— are infused with her advice.”

it was just cool to read that a guy can be a really good coach, a good guy, and be happily married.

5) Cleveland Cavaliers fired their GM David Griffin Monday night; after all, they’re 161-85 the last three years, with three straight trips to the Finals and one NBA title- Griffin is obviously a slacker.

Cut the pretense; name Lebron James as GM on personnel side, hire a paper pusher to do the office work, and be done with it.

4) Injury updates:

— Reds’ SS Zack Cosart is hitting .320 but is on the DL now with a quad injury.
— Bronx Bomber SS prospect Gleyber Torres needs Tommy John surgery on his non-throwing elbow after he was hurt in a collision at home plate— he is out for the year…
— Michael Brantley (Indians) goes on the DL with a sprained ankle.
— JJ Hardy is out 4-6 weeks with a broken wrist; Ruben Tejada will get his AB’s- they’re not going to move Manny Machado back to short.

3) Major leaguers whose at-bats end up the most in either a walk-strikeout-HR: Joey Gallo 55.9%, Chris Davis 55.6%.

2) ESPN the Magazine is usually a waste of time, but their most recent issue, with Manny Machado on the cover, has some interesting stuff in it about Hispanic players playing pro baseball and some of the stuff they go thru when they’re here, living in a foreign country.

If you own a major league team, how can you not insist that your coaches/trainers be bilingual?

We have a NY-Penn League team about 10 miles from where I live, Class A team of the Astros; I met someone last summer who is a tutor for the players on that team, helping them learn English as they start their pro baseball careers. Has to be tough living somewhere where you don’t know the language.

1) April 5, 2015, the Padres traded Cameron Maybin, Carlos Quentin, Matt Wisler and a draft pick to Atlanta for closer Craig Kimbrel and Melvin Upton. San Diego went 74-88, 18 games out of first place in the NL West. Manager Bud Black was fired during the season, his 8th with the Friars.

222 days later, on November 13, 2015, the Padres traded Kimbrel to Boston, for four prospects, two of whom have yet to make the majors, as well as 2B Carlos Asuaje and OF Manuel Margot. Asuaje is back in AAA, Margot has shown promise but is hurt right now.

San Diego is 96-136 since that trade; their GM, AL Preller, has been suspended twice by MLB for a month each for misdeeds, once when he worked with Texas, once with the Padres.

But hey, Preller went to Cornell so he must be smarter than the rest of us. Forget that Bud Black is now managing the Colorado Rockies, who are 46-26 and are the surprise team in baseball. San Diego is 28-42 this season, 17 games behind the Rockies.

If I owned the Padres, I’d be wondering what the hell is going on.

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

Double-Play Picks

Cleveland Indians at Baltimore Orioles (+125, 10.5)

The Orioles and Indians continue their four-game set in Baltimore on Tuesday night, in a matchup of two American League teams which couldn’t be headed in more opposite directions.

The Tribe dealt the first blow in the series, hammering the Orioles 12-0 on Monday night, in a game that is pretty much these two teams in a nutshell right now.

The Indians have won six consecutive ball games, which includes of four-game sweep of the Twins to surpass Minnesota for first place in the American League Central, scoring an average of 8.7 runs per game, while allowing just 2.2 in those contests.

Meanwhile the Orioles have fallen off a cliff and the ground is coming up fast. Baltimore was 22-10 back on May 9th and leading the American League East, but since they have gone 12-25, dropping all the way to last in the division.

Their last 16 games have been particularly bad. The Orioles are 5-11 in those contests, but have allowed five runs or more in each and every one of those games. Ouch. The Over is not surprisingly 13-3 in those contests.

The pitching matchup in the second game of this series also leaves a little to be desired as Cleveland’s Josh Tomlin toes the rubber against Baltimore’s Chris Tillman.

It’s been a tough year for Tomlin, who is 4-8 with a 5.83 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP in 13 starts this season and while the O’s have struggled, they are still prone to break out offensively from time to time.

It’s been even worse for Tillman.

The veteran right-hander just has not been able to find his groove since coming off the disabled list. In eight starts he has a putrid 8.07 ERA with a 2.10 WHIP and has struck out just 26 batters, while walking 19. Opponents are also hitting .350 against him this season. And it’s not like he started poorly and is improving. Tillman has allowed 14 combined earned runs in his last two starts.

Pick: Over 10.5

Detroit Tigers at Seattle Mariners (-135, 9)

We're dipping back into the "fade the Tigers" well once again Tuesday night. Last night we faded our favorite fadable starting pitcher, Anibal Sanchez, to a comeback win (thank you Mike Zunino) and tonight we will be fading a Tigers' starter who has been horrible on the road this season.

Overall, Jordan Zimmermann's numbers don't look horrible - he's 5-5 in 13 starts with an ERA that is a bit inflated at 5.35. However, when you pull out just his road numbers he becomes an automatic fade whenever he's scheduled to start away from Comerica Park in Detroit. In six road starts this season Zimmermann is 0-3 with a team win/loss record of 0-6, a 6.35 ERA, and a road WHIP of 1.588.

Ariel Miranda gets the ball tonight for the Mariners and he's been very good this season at 6-3 (team win/loss: 8-6) with a 4.17 ERA and a WHIP of 1.249 and his home splits have been tremendous at 3-1, 2.14 ERA, and 0.929 WHIP.

The M's have won six of the last seven meetings with the Tigers who are in the midst of a very tough stretch as losers of eight of their last 11 games. As a result of their 6-2 win last night the Mariners are now a very respectable 21-13 at home this season.

Pick: Mariners -135

Yesterday's Picks: 2-0
Season To Date: 68-56-7

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Edinson Volquez, Miami Marlins (3-7, 3.72 ERA)

After getting off to a terrible start to the 2017 season, Edinson Volquez has been dynamite over his last four outings. The Marlins have won all four of his last four starts (including a no-hitter against the Diamondbacks back on June 3) and he owns a very tidy 1.73 ERA. Volquez has also only allowed 10 hits over his last 26 innings of work.

The Marlins are slight underdogs at +105 against Gio Gonzalez and the Washington Nationals tonight.

Slumping: Matt Moore, San Francisco Giants (2-7, 6.00 ERA)

It doesn't get a whole lot worse than Matt Moore has been over his last three starts...and on the road this season.

In his last three outings Moore has a team win/loss of 0-3, an ERA of 11.08, a WHIP of 2.38, and an opponent's on base percentage of .456. On the road this season Moore owns a team win/loss of 1-7, an ERA of 9.24, a WHIP of 2.11, and an opponent's on base percentage of .425.

Just awful stats.

Moore and the Giants are -110 tonight in Atlanta.

Tuesday's Top Trends

* The San Francisco Giants are 1-8 in Matt Moore's last 9 road starts. -110 today @ Braves.
* The Miami Marlins are 10-1 in their last 11 home games. +105 today vs. Nationals.
* The Toronto Blue Jays are 6-0 in Francisco Liriano's last 6 starts. -120 today @ Rangers.
* Over is 9-1 in the Los Angeles Dodgers' last 10 overall. Mets/Dodgers Total: 8.5.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

There is a chance of thunderstorms and a 50-60 percent chance of rain throughout the evening tonight in Atlanta where the Braves are schedule to host the San Francisco Giants. This is a Pick 'Em game and the total is set at 9.5.

There will be a nice hitter's wind at Yankee Stadium where the Los Angeles Angels will be in town. A stiff 10-15 mile per hour breeze will be blowing straight out to center field and the total tonight is currently set at 10.

Our daily Wrigley Field report shows rain prior the game but tapering off before first pitch. A light 5 mile per hour breeze will be blowing in from right field. The total has been set at 9 with the Padres in town.

Ump Of The Day

D.J. Reyburn: Bad news for the Texas Rangers tonight. Not only do they have to face a Blue Jays team who has won starting pitcher Francisco Liriano's last six starts, but D.J. Reyburn will be calling balls and strikes. The road team has won Reyburn's last seven games behind the plate and nine of his last 10.

The Rangers are currently listed as +115 dogs at home tonight.
