Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

— Dodgers 5, Braves 4— LA has won an MLB-record 47 games in a row when they led at any point in the game.

— Astros have double digit hits in 8 of their last 9 road games.

— Jose Reyes has tripled twice in same game 9 times, most by anyone since Willie Mays.

— Red Sox are bringing up top prospect Rafael Devers; he will play Tuesday in Seattle.

— Only 10 major leaguers have played in all their teams’ games this season.

— Stephen Strasburg also left his start Sunday after 2 innings/51 pitches. He has a “tired arm”.

**********

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

13) I get annoyed when people tell me that they cannot write. ANYONE CAN WRITE!!! If you can talk, you can write. Take a recorder, turn it on and tell stories into it. Then replay what you said, transcribe it into a Word document and voila!!! You have written!!!

Good Lord, if you read this every day, you must know that any damn fool can write his own website. If I can do it, sure as shootin’ you can do it, too.

12) Does Kyrie Irving know that Gregg Popovich will be 69 years old in January, and probably won’t coach much longer? As soon as Pop leaves the Alamo, the Spurs are going to take a big dip. Mr Irving might want to keep that in mind before he jumps overboard from Team Lebron.

11) Do you think Saturday Night Live should offer Sean Spicer a guest hosting spot? Imagine if he went on the show and was really funny? He’d become a hero to the working class.

10) When games at AT&T Park in San Francisco run long and seagulls threaten to overrun the outfield, looking for food, they play “Everybody clap your hands!!!” over the PA system to chase the seagulls away. Odd thing to see. It works. For a few minutes.

9) My friend John e-mailed to remind me that the Cincinnati Airport is actually in Kentucky, which is weird. Kentucky is just over the bridge from Ohio. Cincinnati Bearcats will be playing home games in Northern Kentucky U’s gym this winter; their gym is being refurbished.

8) Weird Al Yankovic went to college at Cal-Poly; in 1979, he recorded “My Bologna” in a campus restroom. The school has put up a plaque commemorating the song on a wall outside the restroom.

7) LaVar Ball got mad at a ref at an AAU game Saturday and pulled his team off the floor, forfeiting the game. Problem is, HIS TEAM LED 69-60 when he forfeited the game.

Not sure where to start with this, but:
a) He probably cost his team a win, and valuable playing time where recruiters can watch them play. Why?
b) What exactly is he teaching the kids who play for him?
c) Does he do outrageous things just to stay in the news?
d) Do the parents of the kids on his team call him out on this behavior?

6) Red flag for the Astros: in Lance McCullers’ last three starts, he’s failed to finish the 5th inning in any of them, allowing 24 hits, 17 runs in 13.2 innings. Houston needs to add at least one starting pitcher by the trade deadline.

5) When Astros’ rookie Colin Moran fouled a ball off his face Saturday night, he broke a bone under his left eye and is now on the DL. Freak accident, and a painful one.

4) Wink Martindale posted this fact on Twitter Saturday: “A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up & down continuously from the bottom of glass to the top”

Who discovered that this is true? I mean, you have a glass of champagne sitting there, and then some wiseguy with a raisin throws it in there and everyone watches?

3) Clayton Kershaw tweaked his lower back, was taken out after the second inning Sunday. Dodgers were -$400 in Las Vegas.

Important lesson here: “There is no such thing as a sure thing, thats why they call it….gambling.” Do you want to be laying -$400 with Ross Stripling on the hill? You do not.

Dodgers won in 10 innings anyway, but laying -$400 on a baseball game is a very bad idea.

2) I’m discouraged by how the A’s are playing (44-54), but how about 44-54 Toronto, with a payroll of $163,381,937? Oakland’s payroll is $81,738,333, which is no excuse for how dismal a team they have, but the Blue Jays are just plain awful.

1) Random fact: If John McCain were uninsured, his blood clot surgery could have cost $76,000. Good thing for him politicians have way better medical coverage than most Americans.

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

Double-Play Picks

Houston Astros at Philadelphia Phillies (+130, 9.5)

The Astros and Phillies open a three-game interleague series Monday evening in Philadelphia in a game that features a rather surprising line move.

Houston opened as -160 road favorites and the road team's moneyline has spent the majority of this morning dropping. We locked the Astros in at -140 and would be surprised to see it get any lower.

Brad Peacock gets the ball for the Astros this evening and he has been terrific all season with an 8-1 record to go along with an ERA of 2.49. Houston has won his last five road starts as well as his last five outings overall (1.82 ERA).

Vince Velasquez gets the ball for the Phillies and, although he has been decent over his last three starts (0-1, 2.19 ERA), at home this season he is only 1-3 with an ERA of 6.26 and an opponent's on base percentage of .347.

While losing Carlos Correa to an injured thumb last week is a significant blow to the Astros' lineup, they are still baseball's top road team at 35-12 and they are taking on the Phillies who are baseball's worst home team at 18-26.

Pick: Astros -140

Baltimore Orioles at Tampa Bay Rays (-110, 9)

The Orioles and Rays open a three-game divisional battle in Tampa Bay tonight. It feels like these two team have played each other about 40 times already this season - it turns out that tonight will only be the tenth head-to-head meeting.

The Orioles, of course, are no longer on their historic streak of allowing five runs or more in a million consecutive games, but their pitching staff is still an absolute dumpster fire. Their team ERA of 5.16 and team opponent's batting average of .281 is certainly not going to win them any awards, win them many baseball games, or cash many Under tickets.

Kevin Gausman gets the ball for the O's today and...errr...well...yuck. Gausman owns an ERA of 6.11 this season with a WHIP of 1.75 in 21 starts. Over his last three outings his ERA is 9.69 and in nine starts on the road this season he has an ERA of 7.98, a WHIP of 2.01 and an opponent's on base percentage of .421.

Left-hander Blake Snell takes the ball today for the Rays and he has had a really weird season. He has either pitched really well and the bullpen has blown games for him, or he's looked like one of the most hittable starting pitchers in all of baseball. He is 0-5 with an ERA of 4.98 in 11 starts this season and his ERA at home is a lofty 5.40 with an average runs per game of 10.50.

The simple fact is that the Orioles are a pretty good offensive team with a terrible pitching staff - that equals Overs. The Over has cashed in the O's last six games overall and also in their last six games played at Tropicana Field against the Rays.

Pick: Over 9

Yesterday's Picks: 0-1-1
Season To Date: 95-84-9

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Jacob deGrom, New York Mets (11-3, 3.37 ERA, $443)

Sunday was a horrible day to be an ace starting pitcher as both Clayton Kershaw (yesterday's Streaking Starter) and Stephen Strasburg went down with injuries that will cause them to miss some time. The Mets are certainly hoping that there isn't a trend developing - they've had enough injury issues on their roster already.

The Mets have won deGrom's last seven starts and over those 53.2 innings pitched he has only allowed nine earned runs (1.51 ERA) and owns a WHIP of a very impressive 0.82.

deGrom and the Mets are a chalky -165 on the road in San Diego tonight.

Slumping: Bartolo Colon, Minnesota Twins (2-9, 8.19 ERA, $-211)

This might be it. If Bartolo Colon gets beat around by the Dodgers tonight this could be the last we see of "Big Sexy" on a major league mound. Today will be his second start since being picked up by the Twins and there were rumors following his first unsuccessful outing as a Twin that he was considering waddling away from the game.

Over Colon's last 10 starts he owns an ERA of 10.26 and a WHIP of 2.186. He's simply very hittable at this stage of his career (79 hits allowed in last 43 innings pitched) and he's no longer capable of pitching beyond five innings. He's taking a roster spot from a kid in the minors who deserves it more - and he knows this.

Colon and the Twins are big +210 underdogs tonight in Los Angeles against the Dodgers.

Monday's Top Trends

* The Houston Astros are 15-3 in their last 18 interleague road games vs. a right-handed starter. -140 today @ Phillies (Velasquez).
