Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

— Nationals 14, Reds 4— Washington outscored Reds 29-11 the last three days.

— Dodgers 3, Marlins 2— LA won its last nine games, is now 64-29

— Cubs 8, Orioles 0— Quintana had 12 K’s, allowed three baserunners in seven IP

— Braves 7, Arizona 1— Atlanta has found its way back to .500 (45-45).

— A’s 7, Indians 3— Trevor Bauer threw 43 pitches, never finished the first inning.

— RIP Martin Landau 89, who passed away Sunday. A great actor; he played the law professor in Rounders. His scenes with Matt Damon were tremendous.

Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend……

13) Being an A’s fan isn’t as fun as it used to be; Oakland had a great walk-off win Saturday night- they’re 7-2 in their last nine games, but then Sunday they traded Doolittle/Madson to Washington, for two Class A prospects and Blake Treinen, who if he was any good, this trade wouldn’t have happened.

I mentioned the other day how the A’s had roughly $24.5M on the books for 2018-20, total; well, dealing Doolittle/Madsen eliminates about half of that amount.

It is now an annual event, like the swallows returning to Capistrano; the A’s don’t contend, then they sell some of their decent players for minor leaguers in July, then are lousy the rest of the year, they make excuses about being a small market team. Oy.

On July 31, 2014, the then-contending A’s traded Yoenis Cespedes for free agent-to-be Jon Lester and Jonny Gomes- since that genius move, Oakland is 201-270, but no one in the front office gets fired. Coaches on field get fired; they don’t create the roster. Go figure.

12) A’s social media was working overtime after the trade was announced, liking every positive tweet that ran after the walk-off win Saturday night, trying to create positive vibes.

Positive vibes come from having a contending team, or at least trying to have one.

11) NL Wild Card race is going to get crazy; Rockies are 6-15 in their last 21 games; Arizona is 3-11 in its last 14 games, as the Dodgers pull away in the NL West. The Wild Card pack is going to catch up quickly unless the Rockies/D’Backs wake up.

10) Christopher Kamka on Twitter pointed out that Jose Quintana is 9th guy to pitch for both Cubs/White Sox in same season; last one was Matt Karchner, in 1998.

9) I’m adamant that when a player assists on a 3-point basket, he should get 1.5 assists; just like if a pass leads to free throws, he should get half an assist for each foul shot made.

8) Phillies-Brewers wore late 70’s/early 80’s throwbacks this weekend; Phillies wore light blue road unis, which lot of teams wore back then.

They closed the roof at Miller Park in the 2nd inning, which according to Brewers’ TV guys, changes how fly balls carry in the park. Ryan Braun struggled on a fly ball right after the roof closed. Once the roof is closed during a game, it cannot be re-opened during the game.

7) 7-foot and 8-foot high outfield fences are awesome in baseball, because guys can rob home runs. Marcell Ozuna made a great catch Sunday, robbing Kike Hernandez of a homer in the sixth inning. Check out MLB Network for highlights; you worry when a fielder climbs a chain-link fence- you don’t want his cleats to stick in there, but this was a tremendous play.

6) Chris Paul’s AAU team won the Peach Jam tournament in Augusta this weekend, which is a very good tournament. Decent amount of NBA players sponsor AAU teams.

5) Jordan Spieth’s brother Steven is on the Dallas Mavericks’ squad in the Las Vegas summer league. Steven went to college at Brown; he had 5 points against the Celtics Saturday night.

4) Odd Stats of the Day: The Cubs have won their last 13 games played on July 15.

Mets won their last 18 games when one of their pitchers homers in that game.

3) Seattle Mariners’ catcher Mike Zunino grew up in Florida; was he destined to play for Seattle? He played for Mariner High School is Cape Coral, FL.

2) Jed Lowrie makes $6.5M; he is now the Oakland A’s highest-paid player, which means he will be gone too, soon. Sonny Gray makes $3,575,000 a year; he better not get traded unless they get back really, really strong prospects in return. Good starting pitchers are invaluable.

1) Another Bastille Day passes with no mention of Sebastian Cabot, who played Mr French on the 60’s sitcom Family Affair. Who was more French than Mr French?

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

Double-Play Picks

Philadelphia Phillies at Miami Marlins (-150, 9)

The Phillies and Marlins meet Monday night for the opening tilt of a three-game series in Miami and both teams are sending out starting pitchers that are severely struggling.

Jerad Eickhoff will be getting the ball tonight for Philly and he is having a horrible season. His team win/loss record on the year is 3-12 and on the road things have been even worse at 0-7 (0-9 if you go back to late last season). His road ERA in 2017 is 5.05 and the Phillies have allowed an average of 6.14 runs per game in his seven road starts this season.

Eickhoff will be facing a Miami offense that ranks fourth in baseball with a .268 batting average.

On the other side, the Marlins will send out a starter who has been even worse than Eickhoff. Right-hander Tom Koehler is one of the more hittable starting pitchers in all of baseball. He owns an ERA of 8.00 and a WHIP of 1.73 overall in 2017 (10 starts) and at home he has been even worse at 8.84 and 1.75.

If you think perhaps he's been pitching well recently and that's why Marlins' manager Don Mattingly keeps running him out there, think again. Over Koehler's last three starts his ERA is 16.76, his WHIP is 2.69, and he owns an opponent's on base percentage of .474.

With two terrible starting pitchers hitting the hill tonight it's tough to back either side - sounds like a good time for an Over play.

Pick: Over 9

Detroit Tigers at Kansas City Royals (-120, 10)

Two teams with different goals moving forward in the season meet in Kansas City tonight for the first of a four-game series. The Royals still have their eyes on a playoff spot with a .500 record, while the Tigers are six games out in the AL Central and are doing more scouting of other team's minor league prospects than upcoming opponents in preparation for their trade deadline sell-off.

The Tigers will be hoping to unload tonight's starter Jordan Zimmermann, but who is going to want him and the three years remaining on his five-year, $110 million contract. Zimmermann owns a team win/loss of 1-8 on the road this season with a road ERA of 6.99 and a WHIP of 1.70. Over his last three starts his ERA is 9.95 with a WHIP of 1.89 and an opponent's on base percentage of .403.

Royals' starting pitcher Jason Vargas is coming off one of his worst starts of the season when he allowed six earned runs over five innings in a 9-6 Royals win in Seattle against the Mariners. Normally this would be a spot to be cautious in his first full season back from major arm surgery, but that start was 12 days ago. Vargas should be well rested and ready to go tonight at home and you can't ignore the fact that the Royals have won 13 of his 17 starts this season, including his last eight outings in a row. At home he has been tremendous with a 7-1 record and an ERA of 1.84.

Have oddsmakers really soured on Vargas after just one below average start (which was actually a Royals' win)?

Pick: Royals -120

Yesterday's Picks: 1-1
Season To Date: 90-78-8

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Marcus Stroman, Toronto Blue Jays (9-5, 3.28 ERA, $18)

The Blue Jays are on that buy/sell/hold bubble where they could, potentially, get back in the playoff chase if they can put together a two-week-long run. But is this something that can realistically happen with their current roster? The Jays will likely be mild sellers at the deadline, but one chip they won't be selling is Marcus Stroman.

Stroman isn't the staff ace they though he might be (he is a very good No. 2 or No. 3 guy in the rotation) but he is certainly pitching like one over his last three outings. Over his last three starts he owns an ERA of 1.37 with a WHIP of 1.12. He's also keeping the ball in the ballpark with zero home runs allowed over those last three starts, which seems to be the key to his success - keep the ball down in the zone.

Stroman starts on the road in Boston tonight against the first place Red Sox and is a slight favorite at -115.

Slumping: Chris Tillman, Baltimore Orioles (1-5, 7.90 ERA, $-243)

The Baltimore Orioles just continue to run garbage starting pitchers out to the mound night after night (except Dylan Bundy...he's decent). Chris Tillman gets the ball Monday and we shouldn't even have to go through this routine with him every time.

He is 1-5 with a 7.90 ERA and an opponent's on base percentage of .429 in 2017. Over his last five starts, Tillman's ERA is 11.25 with a WHIP of 2.60. Just horrible numbers.

Tillman and the Orioles are actually slight favorites at home against Andrew Cashner and the Texas Rangers tonight at -115.

Monday's Top Trends

* The Atlanta Braves are 6-0 in Julio Teheran's last six starts vs. the Chicago Cubs. Braves +145 tonight at home.
* The Philadelphia Phillies are 0-9 in Jerad Eickhoff's last nine road starts. +135 tonight @ Marlins.
* The Kansas City Royals are 11-1 in Jason Vargas' last 12 starts vs. a team with a losing record. -120 tonight vs Tigers.
* Under is 9-1 in the San Diego Padres' last 10 road games. Padres/Rockies Total: 11.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

There is a chance of a thunderstorm and a 30 percent chance of rain early in tonight's game between the Brewers and Pirates in Pittsburgh. There is also a very slight chance of a quick thunderstorm developing in the Atlanta area where the Braves will be hosting the Cubs.

There will be hitter's winds in four ballparks tonight:

* Blue Jays at Red Sox (Total: 9) - 9-12 mile per hour wind blowing toward the Green Monster in left field.
* Cardinals at Mets (Total: 9) - 10-13 mile per hour wind blowing out to left-center field.
* Rays at Athletics (Total: 9) - 12-15 mile per hour wind blowing out to right center field.
* Indians at Giants (Total: 8.5) - 15-17 mile per hour wind blowing straight out to center.
