Armadillo:Saturday's six-pack

— Golden State paid the Bulls $3.5M for the pick they grabbed Jordan Bell with.

— Chris Paul, Blake Griffin both opted out of their contracts, are free agents.

— Toronto Blue Jays are 0-9 this season when trying to get back to .500.

— Orioles have allowed 5+ runs in 20 consecutive games, first team to do that since 1924.

— Louisville’s Donovan Mitchell Jr was drafted #15 Thursday; his dad works in the Mets’ community relations office, so good for them.

— RIP coach Frank Kush, who won 176 football games at Arizona State and is a main reason why ASU is now in the Pac-12. He also coached the Colts for three years.

Armadillo:Saturday's List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here……

13) Can you imagine being a high school/college pitcher, being really excited about the draft, and then being picked by the Colorado Rockies? Can’t be a good feeling- Coors Field is the worst pitchers’ park in the major leagues, thanks to the high altitude.

12) Must be fun recruiting for teams at Fresno State these days, with alums Derek Carr, Aaron Judge and Paul George in the news so much, all for very good reasons.

11) Miami Marlins batters swung at 71 of Max Scherzer’s pitches Wednesday; they missed 30 of them and got only two hits. Scherzer threw 118/121 pitches in his last two starts; you wonder if they’ll give him an extra day of rest, or make sure he is held under 100 pitches in his next start.

Don’t want your meal ticket getting burned out in June, especially when you have such a big lead in your division.

10) Mets’ TV guy Keith Hernandez was exasperated watching the Dodgers pummel the Mets this week; late Wednesday night, with LA way ahead of another game, Mets’ skipper Terry Collins was writing down some notes on a card.

“What could he possibly be writing on that piece of paper?” Hernandez said.

9) Dodgers are 21-4 when they hit 2+ homers in a game, 4-16 when they don’t hit any homers, 23-6 when they hit one.

8) San Antonio is moving up from AA to AAA baseball next year; they’re going to get a new ballpark at some point. Sounds like Colorado Springs is out as a AAA city- hard to have your young pitchers throwing in high altitude, without losing their confidence.

Amarillo is expected to take San Antonio’s place in the AA Texas League.

7) NBA’s projected salary cap will come in at $99 million, $5M higher than last year, but about $2 million less than estimates in April. The crummy playoff season, with so many fewer games than there could’ve been, was blamed for the decrease.

The luxury tax was lowered from $121 million to a projection of $119 million.

6) When the Colorado Rockies had their expansion draft in 1992, two of the guys they picked are now major league managers— Joe Girardi and Brad Ausmus.

5) Minnesota Twins/Cleveland Indians will play two regular season games in Puerto Rico next season.

4) Kansas City Chiefs gave coach Andy Reid a contract extension, then surprisingly fired GM John Dorsey, who had been with the Chiefs for four years.

3) Remember a few years ago, when a guy named Frank McCourt owned the Dodgers and got into a nasty divorce dispute involving the ball club with his future ex-wife? Well, that ex-wife is now going to be the US ambassador to Belgium. Hope she can get the baseball package on TV over there.

2) IUPUI was invited to replace Valparaiso in the Horizon League. Valpo replaced Wichita State in the MVC, after the Shockers jumped to the AAC.

1) Woman named Nina Skye was recently fired from her teaching job at a religiously-affiliated preschool in Los Angeles; the reason?

Turns out Christian preschools aren’t fond of their teachers being porn stars.

Whoops.

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

Double-Play Picks

Baltimore Orioles at Tampa Bay Rays (-153, 9)

The Baltimore Orioles and the Tampa Bay Rays will tangle in a late afternoon contest at Tropicana Field. Most of the 8,000 or so fans in attendance may not even realize it, but something truly historic is on the line today and the Rays could have a big part in re-writing the record books.

The Orioles pitching staff has allowed five or more runs in an astonishing 20 consecutive baseball games. Their dubious feat has tied the 1924 Philadelphia Phillies for the all-time major league record and one more poor pitching performance today will make history.

We first noticed this run of bad pitching performances when it reached 10 games and have been relishing in their pain ever since. The streak began with a seemingly innocuous 5-2 loss versus David Price and the Boston Red Sox back on June 3. Since then it has been the perfect storm of poor starting pitching performances, terrible bullpen work, and meaningless runs in blowout victories - 20 consecutive games of five runs or more allowed.

The Rays are riding a bit of an offensive wave. They put up 15 runs in yesterday's record tying victory over the O's, they are averaging 5.48 runs per nine innings at home against right-handed pitching this season, and in their last 10 games they are averaging 7.14 R/9 vs. righties.

Dylan Bundy is the guy who will have most of the pressure on him today. Bundy will attempt to plug the leaking pitching staff but he's had a rough run of late. Over his last three starts Bundy owns a 7.63 ERA and the Orioles average runs against in his last three starts is 8.67.

If Bundy does his best on the mound today, this historic contest could come down to the O's bullpen. They had to work over five innings in yesterday's blowout loss, they have a combined ERA of 4.97 over their last 10 games, and they have allowed the third most home runs of any relief corp in major league baseball with 42.

A late inning Rays' home run to break the record would be exciting.

Pick: Team Total - Rays Over 4.5 (-135)

Minnesota Twins at Cleveland Indians (-240, 9.5)

The Minnesota Twins beat the Cleveland Indians 5-0 on Friday night at Progressive Field and the Tribe will be looking for some revenge this evening with their ace on the mound.

Corey Kluber has been great all season but he has been especially locked in over his last four starts. He has won three of his last four outings (the bullpen blew one of them) and over those four starts he owns a 1.61 ERA, 0.7143 WHIP, and 39 strikeouts to go along with only 4 walks.

Kluber's opponent on the mound today is Kyle Gibson. The Twins' right-hander has been the benefactor of some solid offensive performances this season despite his very mediocre pitching. The Twins' average runs scored in Gibson's starts is 6.58 for the season, 7.20 on the road, and 8.00 over his last three outings. He won't get that kind of run support today against Corey Kluber and a rested Indians' bullpen.

Speaking of offense. Before being shutout Friday night, the Indians were riding a wave of offensive performances that would give the Orioles' pitching staff night terrors. The Indians had scored five runs or more in nine consecutive ball games and were averaging 7.56 runs per game during that stretch.

We expect Kluber to do his thing and the Indians' bats to get back on track today in Cleveland.

Pick: Indians -1.5 (-125)

Yesterday's Picks: 1-1
Season To Date: 73-59-7


Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Jacob Faria, Tampa Bay Rays (3-0, 1.37, $335)

Jacob Faria is only three starts into his Major League Baseball career and it appears that he has figured out this whole big-league starting pitcher thing.

Over his first three starts, Faria is 3-0 with a tidy 1.37 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP, while racking up 22 strikeouts to just four walks, all of his appearances have earned quality starts.

Faria and the Rays are -152 home chalk today against the whimpering Baltimore Orioles pitching staff.

Slumping: Marco Estrada, Toronto Blue Jays (4-5, 4.98, $-158)

While Faria has figured something out, it appears as though big league hitters have figured out how to hit/smash Marco Estrada. The Blue Jays’ righty relies on his change up for outs and hitters have zeroed in, in a big way.

Over his last four starts, Estrada is 0-3 with a loathsome 14.68 ERA, 2.98 WHIP over 14.1 innings of work.

Estrada and the Blue Jays are -109 on the road against the Kansas City Royals.

Saturday's Top Trends

* The Kansas City Royals are 9-1 in Jason Vargas' last 10 starts vs. a team with a losing record. -105 today vs. Blue Jays.
* The Baltimore Orioles have allowed five runs or more in 20 consecutive games. +130 today @ Rays, BAL/TB Total: 9.
* The San Francisco Giants are 1-8 in their last 9 home games. -110 today vs. Mets.
* The St. Louis Cardinals are 3-13 in their last 16 vs. National League Central. -120 today vs. Pirates.
* The Los Angeles Dodgers are 23-5 in Clayton Kershaw's last 28 starts vs. Rockies. -255 today at home.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

There is a 45-50 percent chance of rain/thunderstorms at SunTrust Park in Atlanta this evening where the Braves will entertain the Milwaukee Brewers. The weather in Atlanta will be awful most of the day, so we’ll wait and see if the first pitch gets pushed back.

There will be notable hitter’s winds blowing out to right-center field at Yankee Stadium for the Yankees and Rangers (12-14 MPH, Total: 11), at U.S. Cellular Field blowing out to center for the White Sox and Athletics (17 MPH, Total: 10.5), at AT&T Park the Giants host the Mets with wind blowing to center (18 MPH, Total: 7.5), Fenway Park has winds blowing out to right center with the Angels in town to play the Sox (10-12 MPH, Total: 10), and at Busch Stadium the Cardinals host the Pirates and hitters will be greeted with 10 MPH wind blowing out to right field. The total currently sits at 8.5.

As for the pitchers, Progressive Field in Cleveland, where the Twins are in town, has a 13-15 MPH wind blowing in from left field. The total is at 9.5.

Ump Of The Day

Jordan Baker will be calling balls and strikes in San Diego tonight and that isn’t promising news for Padres fans. He currently sits at the bottom of Covers Umpire Home Money Chart at $-970.00.

In 2017, the home team has won only three of Baker’s 12 appearances behind the plate. Dating back to last season the road team is 12-3 in his last 15 games behind the dish. In his last 5 games with the gear on in San Diego the Padres are 1-4.

The Detroit Tigers are in San Diego tonight and are available at -101.
