Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

Phil Steele’s top six QB’s heading into this college football season………

6) JT Barrett, Ohio State

5) Lamar Jackson, Louisville

4) Josh Allen, Wyoming

3) Mason Rudolph, Oklahoma State

2) Josh Rosen, UCLA

1) Sam Darnold, USC

**********

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

13) Cavaliers really didn’t consult Lebron James before they fired GM David Griffin? Does this mean they’ve given up hope of Lebron being in Cleveland after next season?

Related item: the NBA Draft is Thursday, as in tomorrow. In the history of the world, how many teams fire their GM three days before the bleeping draft?

12) How long will Griffin be out of work? Cleveland was in the Finals the last three years (I know, they’ve got Lebron which is all that really matters) so some NBA team will be happy to sign the guy up, right?

Will the fact that he went to Arizona State instead of an Ivy League school hinder him in finding another job? Listen to the guy talk; he is very sharp, yet Cleveland just fired him, apparently against the wishes of Lebron James, an iconic player.

Why? Life makes no sense sometimes.

11) Lakers are trading Timofey Mozgov, D’Angelo Russell to the Brooklyn Nets for Brook Lopez and 27th pick in tomorrow night’s draft. Lakers dumped Mosgov’s salary ($48M over next three years) as they clear cap space to eventually wind up with Paul George.

Elsewhere, Charlotte is sending Miles Plumlee, Marco Belenelli and the 41st pick to Atlanta for Dwight Howard and the 31st pick. Howard plays on a lot of different teams.

10) Why teams lose: On June 19, 2016, the Mariners traded Chris Taylor to the Dodgers for Zach Lee. Taylor is hitting ,302 with 32 RBI for the Dodgers- he bats in the middle of the order.

Lee was selected off waivers by the Padres last December and just got DFA’d, meaning he is either headed back to AAA, or to free agency. He has an 8.53 ERA in 12.2 IP in the majors.

9) Clayton Kershaw has given up 17 homers in 103.1 IP this season; he allowed 8 taters in 149 IP all of last year.

8) Phil Mickelson and his caddy for the last 25 years, Bones Mackay, have parted ways.

7) Oakland A’s got two hits in their first-ever game in Oakland, in 1968; a pinch-hit by future Hall of Fame manager Tony LaRussa and a home run by future Dodgers’ radio guy Rick Monday.

Monday was a very good player; he had a 19-year career with A’s-Cubs-Dodgers, had a .361 career on-base %, made two All-Star games, but what he might be most famous for was when two morons ran on the field during a day game at Dodger Stadium and tried to burn an American flag in left-center field.

Monday sprinted over and snatched the flag away from the father/son combo and kept the flag safe.

6) One of Jon Gruden’s sons won a gold medal at the IPF World Powerlifting Championships in Belarus; the young man has very, very big arms (obviously).

5) I laugh when I see that Michelle Pfeiffer is a year older than I am; she looks 20 years younger. My favorite two movies of hers: Fabulous Baker Boys and Tequila Sunrise.

4) It hit 117 degrees in Las Vegas Tuesday, just the 4th time since 1942 its gotten that hot in Las Vegas.

3) A bookmaker in Europe posted 1.5 games as the over/under for the number of games rookie QB Mitch Trubisky starts for the Chicago Bears this season. Yes, you can wager on this stuff.

2) Joe West umpired his 5,000th major league game last night in Denver, the 3rd-most games anyone has ever umpired, so good for him.

1) Anthony Rizzo homered leading off the 1st inning last night; he is now 6-6 with a walk as the leadoff hitter in the 1st inning, with three home runs.

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

Double-Play Picks

Cleveland Indians at Baltimore Orioles (+150, 9.5)

The Baltimore Orioles scratched out a 6-5 win at home over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night, however, the alarms in regards to their pitching staff continue to ring long and loud...much like the hits they've been giving up lately.

After last night's five runs allowed (all by stating pitcher Chris Tillman) the O's have now allowed five runs or more in 17 consecutive baseball games.

Tonight the Orioles will send one of their worst starters to the hill in Kevin Gausman. Gausman owns a 6.60 ERA on the season, a 5.09 ERA at home, and a very sloppy 9.19 ERA over his last three outings. His WHIP over his last three starts is 2.234 and he has an opponent's on base percentage of .467.

If the O's do their normal thing and give up a bunch of runs today they will be in big trouble with Carlos Carrasco toeing the rubber for the Tribe.

The Indians are 10-3 in Carrasco's 13 starts this season, 6-1 in his seven starting assignments on the road, and 7-1 in his last eight starts overall. On the road this season he owns a 2.89 ERA, 0.939 WHIP, and only two home runs allowed in seven starts.

The Indians will score plenty and the Orioles will not. The moneyline is slightly chalky at -170 but feel safe taking the Tribe on the runline. This feels like a 6-2 type of game.

Pick: Indians -1.5 (+100)

New York Mets at Los Angeles Dodgers (-190, 8.5)

Ok Cody Bellinger, we get it. You’re good.

The rookie outfielder just keeps hitting dingers and the Dodgers just keep rolling. Los Angeles thumped New York 12-0 in the second game of a four-game set Tuesday night and go for the series win when they host the Mets on Wednesday.

The Dodgers have been red-hot the past two weeks, going 11-1 in their last 12 games, scoring a whopping 7.4 runs per contest over that stretch. It’s no coincidence that as Bellinger’s bat has gotten white hot so have the Dodgers. Bellinger has hit 10 home runs in the last 10 games. Let me repeat that, Bellinger has hit 10 home runs in the last 10 games.

Thanks to the surge, Los Angeles now ranks fifth in runs per game, seventh in OPS and 14th in home runs. To make matters worse for the Mets, L.A. is even better at Dodger Stadium this season. They have scored the second most runs in the major leagues at home, while hitting 58 homers.

It will be Mets rookie Tyler Pill who will have to deal with the potent Dodgers lineup. The right-hander will be making just his third career start and is 0-1 with a respectable 3.48 ERA, but hasn’t faced anything like this Dodgers team.

The Dodgers counter with Rich Hill, who has had a bit of a tough time this season, dealing with a blister on his left middle finger. Hill is 3-3 with a 5.14 ERA and a 1.571 WHIP in 2017 and if there is only one thing the Mets can do right this season, it’s score runs.

They rank ninth in the Bigs in runs per game, 11th in OPS and sixth in home runs.

Oh yeah, the Over is 10-1 in the Dodgers last 11 games and 5-0 in their last five at home.

Pick: Over 8.5

Yesterday's Picks: 2-0
Season To Date: 70-56-7

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Jeff Hoffman, Colorado Rockies (4-0, 2.25 ERA, $544)

The Colorado Rockies are one of the hottest teams in baseball, winners of six straight and 13 of their last 16 and their talented young rotation, including Hoffman has been a big reason why.

The Rockies have won all five of Hoffman's starts since he has joined the rotation, mostly because he has been dealing. The rookie right-hander is 4-0 with a 2.05 ERA and a 0.946 WHIP while racking up 34 strikeouts to just six walks. Opponents are also hitting just .202 against him when he starts. Hoffman and the Rockies are -145 home faves against the Diamondbacks.

Slumping: James Paxton, Seattle Mariners (5-2, 3.23 ERA, $-140)

No one had a hotter start to the season than the Mariners' southpaw Paxton, but he has really cooled off since returning from injury at the end of May.

Paxton's last three starts in particular have been pretty rough. He is 1-2, but has a massive 9.95 ERA, with a 2.29 WHIP. Paxton and the Mariners are currently -141 home favorites tonight against the Tigers.

Wednesday's Top Trends

* The Cincinnati Reds are 1-10 in their last 11 overall. +110 today @ Rays.
* Over is 8-1 in the Washington Nationals' last nine overall. Nats/Marlins Total: 7.5.
* The Los Angeles Angels are 0-9 in Nolascos last nine starts. +165 today @ Yankees.
* The Houston Astros are 8-0 in the last eight meetings in Oakland. -135 today @ A's.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

There is a 40 percent chance of rain this evening in the Atlanta area where the Braves are scheduled to play the San Francisco Giants. The visiting Giants are -120 favorites and the total is set at 9.5.

The most notable wind today will be a hitter's wind in Kansas City where the Royals will entertain the Boston Red Sox this afternoon with a 15-18 mile per hour wind howling out to left-center field. The total is currently set at 9.5.

Our daily Wrigley Field check shows only a light eight mile per hour breeze blowing in from right field. The total for the game between the Cubs and the visiting Padres is set at 9.

Ump Of The Day

Ed Hickox: The Over is 6-0-1 in Hickox's last seven games calling balls and strikes. This is great news for Over bettors looking into the game tonight between the White Sox and Twins (total: 9.5).

It's also worth noting that Hickox also favors the home team at 9-3 this season. The Twins are big -200 home faves tonight with Jose Berrios on the mound.
