**********

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

13) TheMMQB.com ran a very interesting feature this week— an all-time draft of NFL players, with some veteran NFL minds drafting the players. Bill Polian, Ernie Accorsi, Dan Fouts, Gil Brandt were four of the 12 people picking teams.

None of this solves anything, but it is great fodder for debate. Here are the 12 QB’s who were taken, in the order they were selected.

1) Unitas 2) Brady 3) Otto Graham 4) Montana 5) Elway 6) Staubach 7) Manning 8) Bradshaw 9) Rodgers 10) Favre 11) Marino 12) Aikman

12) Other highlights of the draft:
— Lawrence Taylor was the first player taken. I have a friend Scott who knows more about football than anyone I know— when he reads that, he is not going to like it.
— Dan Fouts drafted Terry Bradshaw; he should’ve drafted Dan Fouts, who was better than Bradshaw and Aikman.
— Fouts drafted Ray Guy in the first round; I don’t have an explanation for that.
— Sammy Baugh got drafted, but as a punter, not a QB.
— Each team also drafted a coach; here are the 12 coaches picked, in order:

1) Lombardi 2) Walsh 3) Levy/Dungy (co-coach— Bill Polian did that) 4) Noll 5) Shula 6) Gibbs 7) Landry 8) Belichick 9) Coryell 10) Paul Brown 11) Curly Lambeau 12) Madden

No Parcells is weird; picking your buddies Levy/Dungy over Belichick is plain stupid. George Allen could be in this group of 12, but some of these guys just took their friends. Then again, if I was picking a team, my coach undoubtedly would’ve been Dick Vermeil. ��

Again, the whole draft is on TheMMQB.com. It is kind of fun to look through.

11) Best coaches who were left out: Parcells, Vermeil, Hank Stram, Bud Grant, Jimmy Johnson, Tom Flores, Sid Gillman.

10) Best QB’s who were left out: Bart Starr, Drew Brees, Ken Stabler, Kurt Warner, Jim Kelly, Fran Tarkenton, Steve Young.

9) Dodgers have swept 11 series this year; Clayton Kershaw didn’t pitch in 3 of the 11 series.

8) Announced attendance in Oakland Monday night was 9,736, a very quiet 9,736. It was the A’s smallest home crowd in six years.

When you start selling off players, it may be good business over the long haul, but it sends the message that “we’ve quit for this year.” People don’t like to shell out money to watch teams who have quit for the season.

White Sox are 0-4 since dealing Jose Quintana; A’s are now 1-2 since trading the two relievers to the Nationals. I’m going to track this as teams sell off guys the rest of this month. Detroit won its first game after JD Martinez was sent packing.

7) Former big league 1B James Loney is off to Korea to play for the LG Twins on a $350,000 deal. Eric Thames played over in Korea for three years and now he is back in the majors with Milwaukee.

6) Weird Story of the Day: Cowboys WR Lucky Whitehead is asking for help locating his pitbull Blitz, who was abducted; the thieves are demanding a $10,000 ransom. Seriously, they are.

5) I wish they’d legalize online poker in this country so ESPN would start showing the World Series of Poker again (no one will buy commercial time if online poker is illegal). First prize this year is $8.1M; the final table is set, but I’ve never heard of any of the nine guys.

If you’re the first guy eliminated at the final table, you still bank $1M, so thats not too bad.

4) NBA season is starting October 17 this year, earlier than usual, as the league tries to reduce the amount of back/backs each team plays by stretching the regular season out as much as possible.

3) Astros’ SS Carlos Correa is out 6-8 weeks (thumb), another victim of the headfirst slide. Guys need to wear that hand protector Mike Trout is wearing now if they want to slide headfirst.

2) White Sox traded Todd Frazier, David Robertson and Shaker High’s Tommy Kahnle to the Bronx for Tyler Clippard (???) and two prospects. According to someone on Twitter who says they know a lot about the minor leagues, White Sox have 10 of the top 68 prospects in the minors, but top prospect Yoan Moncada is now headed to the Windy City.

1) Arizona acquired free agent-to-be JD Martinez from Detroit for three prospects. Guy on MLB Network said the three prospects aren’t that great, and that Arizona got off cheap on the deal.

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

Double-Play Picks

Seattle Mariners at Houston Astros (-125, 8.5)

What a blow for the Astros. Houston has lost their All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa, for six to eight weeks while he recovers from surgery on his left thumb to repair a torn ligament.

While Correa was having a career year (he leads all shortstops in hits, home runs, RBI, OPS and WAR), luckily the Astros have arguably the deepest roster in MLB and a ho-hum 16.5 game lead in the AL west. Chances are, they’ll be fine.

The team that sits 16.5 back is the Seattle Mariners, who will try to take advantage of the Correa-less Astros and win the rubber match of their three-game series in Houston Wednesday afternoon.

Houston lost the opener 9-7 on Monday, before bouncing back on Tuesday with a 6-2 victory. The Astros send right-hander Charlie Morton to the mound for Game 3, while Mariners will counter with left James Paxton.

Morton has been up and down for the ‘Stros this season. He has a 7-3 record, despite a 4.06 ERA and a 1.354 WHIP. Luckily for Houston, Morton has been much stronger at Minute Maid Park this season, where he is 5-1 with a 3.45 ERA and a 1.277 WHIP.

James Paxton, meanwhile, who has looked fantastic at points this season has looked mediocre away from Safeco Field. Paxton is 3-1 on the road with a 4.05 ERA and unfortunately for him, the Astros feast on southpaws.

They rank second in the MLB in average (.280), OPS (.827) and home runs (40) against left handed pitching this season.

Look for Houston to make a statement Wednesday, that while Correa’s loss is obviously a big blow, they are tenacious and strong enough to win without him.

Pick: Astros -125

St. Louis Cardinals at New York Mets (-150, 8)

The Cardinals have claimed the first two games of this four-game series and the Mets will look to respond by sending their ace to the mound Wednesday evening.

Jacob deGrom will climb the hill at Citi Field and he has been tremendous for the Mets all season, but especially over his last six starts. The Mets have won his last six outings and he owns a 1.53 ERA to go along with a WHIP of 0.766 in those starts. deGrom has also been terrific pitching at home this season with a 2.37 ERA and 1.10 WHIP.

The Cards will run veteran right-hander Mike Leake out to the mound and he has been great on the road in 2017. In starts away from Busch Stadium this season, Leake has a 4-2 win/loss record with an ERA of 2.84 and a WHIP of 1.09.

Leake should be helped out by the fact that the Mets rank 28th in Major League Baseball with their .238 batting average at home this season and rank near the bottom of baseball with only 51 runs scored thus far in the month of July.

This one has "low scoring" written all over it.

Pick: Under 8

Yesterday's Picks: 2-0
Season To Date: 93-79-8

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: R.A. Dickey, Atlanta Braves (6-5, 4.08 ERA, $609)

Many thought R.A. Dickey might hang up the cleats after his contract came up in Toronto. The 42-year-old knuckleballer was coming off his worst year as a starter and he’s a 42-old knuckleballer. But he signed with the Braves this season and, after a rocky start, Dickey has been great for second place Atlanta.

His last five starts have been particularly impressive, where he is 1-0 and has pitched to a 1.09 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. The knuckleball is dancing once again as Dickey and the Braves are +125 home dogs against the visiting Cubs on Tuesday.

Slumping: Kevin Gausman, Baltimore Orioles (5-7, 6.39 ERA, $-259)

Another day, another Baltimore Orioles' starting pitcher gracing our Slumping Starting Pitcher section.

Right-hander Kevin Gausman has been bad all season long but his last two starts have been especially stinky. In back-to-back losses, Gausman has logged seven total innings and allowed 13 earned runs (16.71 ERA). In his last outing, against the Chicago Cubs, he surrendered eight earned runs over three innings of work and served up four home runs in the process.

Gausman and the Orioles are -135 favorites at home against the Rangers this evening.

Wednesday's Top Trends

* Under is 11-1 in last 12 meetings between Blue Jays and Red Sox at Fenway Park. Jays/Sox Total: 9.5.
* The Arizona Diamondbacks are 18-3 in Zack Greinke's last 21 starts vs. a team with a losing record. -165 @ Reds.
* The Los Angeles Dodgers are 30-4 in their last 34 games overall. -160 @ White Sox.
* Under is 14-3-2 in the Los Angeles Angels' last 19 overall. Nationals/Angels Total:9.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

There is no precipitation in the baseball forecast Wednesday - wind, however, could impact a few games.

There will be a 12-15 mile per hour wind blowing in from right field this afternoon at Target Field for the matchup between the Twins and the visiting Yankees. The total is currently set at 9.5.

The wind will be blowing straight out to center field (as usual) at AT&T Park in San Francisco for this afternoon's game between the Giants and Indians (10-15 miles per hour). The total for this one is 8.

There will also be hitter's winds this evening at Citi Field (Cardinals at Mets: 8-12 miles per hour out to right-center with total at 8) and Kauffman Stadium (Tigers at Royals: 10-12 miles per hour out to left with total at 10).

Ump Of The Day

Jordan Baker will be calling balls and strikes tonight in Boston for the game between the Red Sox and Blue Jays. This one is an interesting test for the true power of the home plate umpire when betting MLB totals. Almost everything about this matchup screams Under, but the Over has cashed in Baker's last eight games behind the plate. He's been asking pitchers to put the ball on a tee, and hitters have been responding.

The total tonight in Boston is currently set at 9.5.
