Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Random thoughts on a summer day……..

13) Golden State Warriors are going to rip off season ticket holders by making them buy a PSL, which is forcing fans to pay a hefty fee for the right to buy season tickets for even more money in their new arena.

This is prevalent in the NFL but has never been done in the NBA before. This is a scummy way to treat a fanbase that was loyal to the Warriors, even before they were really good.

12) Kyrie Irving is set to make $20M a year over the next three years; recently, he told the Cavaliers he wants to be traded, preferably to the Knicks, Spurs, Heat or Timberwolves. I’m surprised he doesn’t want to play for the Warriors.

Who doesn’t want to be Lebron’s wingman?

Some information about the first game of a series or home/road trips…….
11) Over is 11-4-2 in Dodger series openers, 12-5 in San Diego series openers, 10-4-1 in Detroit’s.

Under is 10-5 in Cincinnati’s series openers, 12-3 in Cleveland’s, 10-5 in Baltimore’s.

10) Astros are 11-3 in the first game of a road series, only 8-8 in home series openers.

9) Washington is 21-11 in series openers, Colorado 21-10, the Dodgers 20-12.

Phillies are 10-21 in series openers, Pirates 12-19, St Louis 13-18, White Sox 10-20, Angels 12-19, Oakland 12-18.

8) A popular word the last year or two is “process.” Front office types now always say “It is a process” as a general way of saying nothing about what they actually do.

7) Madison Bumgarner makes $12M a year; he missed 13-14 starts this year because he got hurt riding a dirt bike on a team’s off-day. Giants are 0-6 in his starts in 2017. Bumgarner has done an awful lot for the Giants in his career, but none of it has been this season.

6) In Luis Severino’s last five starts, New York was outscored 10-0; they haven’t scored a run in the first five innings of any of his last five starts.

5) Dodgers have an awesome lineup; their 7th/8th place hitters are Joc Pederson, Yasiel Puig.

4) Atlanta Braves’ TV announcer Chip Caray complained pretty loudly about the loud music at Dodger Stadium, calling it “ears bleeding loud”. He also said that the stadium is beautiful but doesn’t need the constant music/noise.

3) Recruiting never stops: New Mexico added a 6-5 kid from Australia this week. Lobos’ new coach Paul Weir has lot of international connections and is a very good recruiter.

2) I hope Sean Spicer puts his feet up and has a cold one tonight; he quit Friday as White House press secretary. In the history of man, no one looked as uncomfortable as Spicer did at the podium during press briefings- hopefully his next job will be a little more fun.

1) There are lessons to be learned in life every day: our lesson from Hugh Freeze getting fired at Ole Miss is this: If your boss gives you a cellphone to use and you want to call an escort service, get your own phone and use that one, not the school’s phone.

This is how you keep your $5M a year job. Buy another phone.

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

Double-Play Picks

Houston Astros at Baltimore Orioles (+105, 11)

If there has been one thing holding back fans and pundits alike, from saying the Astros will win the American League, it’s the health of their starting rotation. But the staff gets a boost Saturday as Collin McHugh makes his season debut for the Astros in Game 2 of their three-game weekend set in Baltimore versus the Orioles.

McHugh has missed all of the 2017 campaign, with what the team called an “elbow impingement” in his throwing arm. McHugh is 43-26 with a 3.71 and a 1.249 WHIP since becoming a full-time starter for the Astros back in 2014.

He will be a welcome addition to a rotation that has used nine starters this season and has been missing ace Dallas Keuchel since early June.

The Orioles meanwhile counter with Chris Tillman. The right-hander is coming off a strong start, but his season overall has been a disappointment. Tillman is 1-5 with a 7.20 ERA and a WHIP of 2.018.

Tillman will have his hands full with arguably the deepest lineup in the Bigs, which ranks first in almost every major offensive category, including runs per game (5.9), team average (.290), OPS (.856) and home runs (158).

The Astros also have the best road record in the MLB at 34-11 and are far and away the most profitable road team at $2160 (based on $100 wagers). What makes those numbers more impressive is that they are 34-11 against the runline on the road.

Expect the Astros bats to jump all over Tillman and while they are a great runline bet, the moneyline present too much value today.

Pick: Astros -127

New York Yankees at Seattle Mariners (+130, 8.5)

Aaron Judge’s mammoth home run aside, the Yankees offense has been inconsistent for the month of July but has done enough to take the first two games of their series against the Mariners in Seattle.

Game 3 of the four-game set goes Saturday night at Safeco Field with Masahiro Tanaka toeing the rubber for the Yankees, while the Mariners counter with Ariel Miranda.

The Yankees have been scoring just 3.6 runs per game in the month of July, that’s down almost two full runs from their season average of 5.3 per game. The inconsistent offense has resulted in the Under cashing in the Yankees last eight road games and in 10 of their last 11 games overall.

Miranda is the man who has to deal with that lineup Saturday night. The 28-year-old Cuban southpaw has come into his own in his first full season in the big leagues, especially at home. Miranda is 3-2 with a 3.23 ERA and a 0.946 WHIP, while allowing opponents to hit just .190 in nine starts at Safeco Field.

Tanaka, on the other hand, has been the model of inconsistency this season. He is 7-9 with a 5.33 ERA and a 1.350 WHIP. The Japanese right-hander has been better of late however, throwing four quality starts in his last five outings, pitching to a 3.00 ERA and a 1.030 WHIP.

Tanaka has also loved pitching against the Mariners over the course of his career, going 5-0 with a 1.95 ERA and a 0.811 WHIP, while racking up 38 punch outs to just four walks.

The Under is also 4-0 in the Mariners last four games and 8-2 in their last 10 games overall.

Pick: Under 8.5

Yesterday's Picks: 1-1
Season To Date: 94-82-8

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: David Price, Boston Red Sox (5-2, 3.39 ERA, $+65)

David Price got off to a rough start in his Red Sox tenure, 2016 was disappointing for the lefty and injuries hindered his start this season, but he has turned things around.

Price has been dominating in his last three starts, owning a very impressive .90 ERA, 1.10 WHIP. The sexiest stat is 22 strikeouts and only four walks. This is what Boston wanted when they handed Price a seven-year, $217 million contract.

Price and the Red Sox are +122 road chalk against the Los Angeles Angels.

Slumping: Mike Pelfrey, Chicago White Sox (3-7, 4.64 ERA, $-97)

Mike Pelfrey has been predictively mediocre this season and maybe that is being kind, but we here at Covers are nice guys. The cringe-worthy stat with the White Sox right-hander is that he only has two quality starts in his seventeen trips to the rubber in 2017.

In his last five appearances, he has thrown a total of 18 innings, allowed 16 runs, six home runs, walked 12, and struck out a measly 13 batters.

Pelfrey and the White Sox are +171 road dogs against Jason Vargas and the Kansas City Royals.

Saturday's Top Trends

* Cubs are 22-5 in John Lester's last 27 starts vs. a team with a losing record. -152 vs. Cardinals.

* Pirates are 9-1 in the last 10 meetings in Colorado. +120 @ Colorado.

* Mariners are 2-11 in their last 13 home games. +125 vs. Yankees.

* Under is 7-1 in White Sox last 8 road games vs. a left-handed starter. Total: 11.

* Tigers are 2-9 in Zimmermann's last 11 road starts. -118 @ Minnesota.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

Rains and thunderstorms will likely be an issue today at Citizens Bank Park where the Phillies will welcome the Milwaukee Brewers. There is a 70 percent chance of rain at first pitch and the remainder of the night is a mix of 40-60 percent.

There is also a chance of thunderstorms developing in Cincinnati for tonight's game between the Red and Marlins. It’s looking fine early but as the night goes on the threat of rain grows as high as 70 percent. Same thing in Queens, where the Mets are hosting Athletics, but it might not affect the game as things aren’t forecasted to get messy until late in the evening.

There isn't much in the way of wind across Major League Baseball on today, so we'll just take our daily look at AT&T Park in San Francisco. Where a hitter's wind is blowing out to straight center 10-15 miles per hour. The total is currently at 8.5

Ump Of The Day

Not great news for the visiting Texas Rangers, Chad Whitson is behind the plate tonight in Tampa and he seems to love seeing the home team fans go happy. In his 16 appearances calling balls and strikes this season the home team has won 14 games. That has resulted in a league leading $1168 home team money total.

Also worth noting that the Over has cashed in 11 of his 16 (68.8 percent) appearances behind the dish and in six of his last seven.

The Rays are -183 home chalk today and the total is currently sitting at 8.5.
