Odds to win the college football national title this season:

5-2— Alabama

3-1— Ohio State

7-1— Southern California

8-1— Florida State

15-1— Oklahoma, LSU

20-1— Washington, Wisconsin, Penn State

**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind……..

13) Arizona pitcher Robbie Ray was drilled in the head by a 108 MPH line drive Friday nite, but is out of the hospital as I write this, with a gash on his head the only apparent injury. He is lucky, because it looked ugly when it happened.

The ball hit him so hard it was caught in the air….in foul territory.

12) From sound of it, Baltimore Ravens may be forced to sign Colon Kaepernick; their starting QB Joe Flacco is out for a month or so, and Friday, backup QB Ryan Mallett was so awful that the defense was mocking the offense, for everyone to hear.

Mallett threw at least five INT’s Friday- his backups right now are a kid from West Texas State and a QB from the Champions Indoor Football league.

11) Many of the things about a successful QB are things the general public cannot see; poise, confidence, composure, ability to help others in the offense— does he study a lot of film?

Mallett missed a practice in Houston once because he “overslept”, the day after he was named the #2 QB. Sounds like a lack of maturity.

10) Would love to know the won-loss record of teams that load the bases in the first inning, but do not score. Not sure how cumbersome a research project that would be- it sounds like a lot of work.

9) Rays traded for reliever Steve Cishek/1B Lucas Duda, who batted clean-up for them last night in the Bronx. Tampa Bay is 2.5 games behind Kansas City for the second AL Wild Card spot.

8) Troy Tulowitzki/Matt Kemp/Robbie Ray all got hurt last night. George Springer/David Price both went on the DL before Friday night’s games.

7) Terry Francona is a great manager; he won two World Series in Boston, and increased the Indians’ win total from 68 to 92 in his first year with Cleveland, in 2013. Just dealing with the Boston media on a daily basis and winning as much as he did there was very impressive.

6) Joel Lanning was Iowa State’s QB last year; he’s going to be their middle linebacker this year. Have never heard of anything like that at the college level. High school, kids play both ways.

5) Falcons’ WR Julio Jones lost a $100,000 earring in a lake this week. Oy.

4) Forgot to mention this yesterday; Winnipeg beat Montreal 41-40 in the CFL Thursday night; they trailed 41-28 with 1:00 to play, but scored a TD with 0:45 left, recovered an onside kick, then scored the winning TD on the last play of the game. Horrible way to lose a game.

3) Brewers 2, Cubs 1— Milwaukee hangs on to win a game that you sensed might’ve ended their contention had they blown it. Brewers are 3-9 in their last 12 games; beating the Cubs means a lot to them, since so many Cub fans trek to Milwaukee for games at Miller Park. Brewers are four games out of the second NL Wild Card spot.

2) Phillies traded Howie Kendrick to Washington, Jeremy Hellickson to Baltimore; Phils have a lot of good young players coming up— it is about time they started playing them.

1) If the baseball playoffs started today (they do not):
AL: Boston-Cleveland-Houston Wild Cards: New York-Kansas City
NL: Washington-Chicago-Los Angeles Wild Cards: Arizona-Colorado

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

Los Angeles owns a ridiculous 44-13 home record heading into Saturday’s contest against the visiting San Francisco Giants, who are 32 1/2 games behind the first-place Dodgers following Friday’s 6-4 loss.

Double-Play Picks

San Francisco Giants at Los Angeles Dodgers (-275, 9)

The Dodgers haven’t slowed down at all, despite having to place Clayton Kershaw on the 10-day disabled list with a lower back strain. Los Angeles is on another six-game winning streak after taking Game of its series with the Giants. Game 2 goes Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles.

The Dodgers are now 37-6 in their last 43 games thanks to their latest run and they’ll be looking to make it seven in a row when they send Rich Hill to the bump to take on the Giants Ty Blach.

Hill has been dealing of late, with the Dodgers winning his last four starts, while he has pitched to 1.42 ERA and a 0.790 WHIP in those outings.
The Dodgers southpaw faces a Giants lineup that has, well, struggled to put it nicely in 2017. San Fran ranks 25th in team average, 29th in runs per game and dead last in OPS and home runs.

The Giants will counter hill with a lefty of their own in Blach, who has had an up and down campaign this year. The 26-year-old is 6-6 with a 4.50 ERA and a 1.322 WHIP in 23 starts, but has had a tougher time on the road, where he owns a 5.49 ERA and a 1.393 WHIP.

Blach will have his hands full with a deep Dodgers lineup that ranks third OPS, fifth in runs per game, sixth in home runs and ninth in average. They have also mashed left-handers this season, leading the majors in home runs off left-handers with 52.

Pick: Dodgers -1.5 (-140)

Arizona Diamondbacks at St. Louis Cardinals (+103, 8)

The Diamondbacks visit the Cardinals Saturday night in a game that has all the makings of a pitcher’s duel, as Zack Greinke faces off against Mike Leake.

The D-backs are doing their best to keep up with the Dodgers, but it seems like they will be destined for a Wild Card game this season. Heck, they’re playing almost .575 baseball and trail the Dodgers by 13 games. Yowza.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals are scrapping just to stay in the playoff picture and it looks like as if their only road to the playoffs will be through the NL Central division title, which they trail by 3.5 games.

Greinke has been solid all season, going 12-4 with a 2.92 ERA and a 1.021 WHIP in 2017 and has pitched well at Busch Stadium over the course of his career, going 4-2 with a 2.45 ERA and a 1.250 WHIP in six career starts there and faces Cards lineup that ranks 21st in runs per game.

Leake hasn’t been too shabby for the Cardinals either. The right-hander is 7-8 with a 3.20 ERA this season. At home he owns a 3.04 ERA and a 1.232 WHIP in nine starts.

Leake faces a good Diamondbacks lineup, but they are nowhere near as good on the road as they are at home. At home they rank third (5.8 per game) in runs scored, but on the road they are 27th (4.2 per game).

Pick: Under 8

Yesterday's Picks: 0-2
Season To Date: 100-88-9

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Jacob deGrom, New York Mets (12-3, 3.30 ERA, $543)

Remember when Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, Matt Harvey and Steven Matz were going to be the next great starting rotation in baseball? They were going to dominate the league and turn the Mets into a perennial playoff team. Injuries and a Victoria Secret model quickly crushed that plan, but on the upside, for Mets fans, DeGrom is still out here dealing.

The Mets have won deGrom's last eight starts and over those 61.2 innings pitched he has only allowed 11 earned runs (1.61 ERA) and owns a dominating WHIP of 0.8315.

deGrom and the Mets are a +120 road dogs tonight in Seattle.

Slumping: Junior Guerra, Milwaukee Brewers (1-4, 5.22 ERA, $-239)

Junior Guerra’s started the 2017 season as the Brewers opening day starter. In his first career opening-day start he strained his right calf while laying down a bunt spent weeks on the disabled list and things haven’t really recovered.

In his last five starts, Guerra is 0-3 (1-4 TW/TL) with a 9.00 ERA and 1.8571 WHIP. The death blow for the 32-year-old has been the long ball, in these five starts he has only thrown 21 innings and given up nine home runs.

Guerra and the Brewers host the Cubs tonight and are +147 dogs.

Saturday's Top Trends

Over is 10-1 in Rays last 11 games vs. a left-handed starter. Total: 9

Dodgers are 10-1 in their last 11 vs. National League West. Dodgers -273 vs. Giants.

Astros are 14-3 in Collin McHugh’s last 17 starts vs. a team with a losing record. Astros -116 @ Tigers.

Over is 10-1 in Braves last 11 road games. Total 9.

Royals are 9-0 in their last 9 overall. Royals +126 @ Red Sox.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

There is no precipitation in the baseball forecast for Saturday - wind, however, could impact a few ballparks today.

There will be a 13-14 mile per hour wind blowing in from left field this afternoon at Yankee Stadium for the matchup between the Bronx Bombers and the visiting Rays. The total is currently at 9. The wind is blowing out to right field at Comerica Park in Detroit for tonight’s game between the Tigers and Astros. The total for this one is 10.5. There is also a hitter’s wind (11-15 miles per hour out to right-center) in the forecast at Oakland Coliseum for tonight’s game between the Twins and Athletics. The total for that is at 9.

There will also be a pitcher’s winds this evening at Nationals Park (Colorado Rockies at Washington Nationals: 10-12 miles per hour in from center field with a total of 10), Citizens Bank Park (Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies: 12-14 miles per hour in from center field with a total of 9), Fenway Park (Kansas City Royals at Boston Red Sox: 10-13 miles per hour in from center field with a total of 8.5), and Busch Stadium (Arizona Diamondbacks and St. Louis Cardinals: 9-13 miles per hour in from left center field with a total at 8).

Ump Of The Day

Alfonso Marquez will be calling balls and strike today at Dodger Stadium where the Dodgers host the Giants. In the 18 games he has been behind the plate the Over has cashed in 12, leaving him tied for sixth on the Over umpire chart for the season.

Another factor to consider is the total. Today’s game currently has a betting total of 9 and the Over is 7-1 (87.5 percent) this season in games called by Marquez with a closing total of 9 or less.
