**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Stuff for a summer Sunday……..

13) Las Vegas sports books are usually pretty quiet, just the announcers on games/races drowning out conversations. When a big run or touchdown is scored, there is some yelling, but it is usually subdued and business-like (and a lot of fun).

Last night I sat down for the 7pm ET baseball games; the Houston-Detroit game was in the bottom of the 2nd. Immediately I could hear the guy behind me moaning at every out made. I figured he had the Tigers, who trailed 3-0.

But then the Astros came to bat and he kept it up:
— “You bleeping idiot”
— “You goddamn bleep-bleeper”
— “How can you take that pitch?”— This one made me laugh; it was the first pitch of an inning and the guy exploded because the batter took it.

In the 4th inning he got a phone call: “I have to sweat out 8 more runs. These bleeps are terrible.” Just then, someone hit into a double play; he was not happy.

Obviously, this guy had bet the over, which was 10.5. Detroit won 5-3, and the guy was gone, off to make someone else’s night a little more pleasant.

12) A’s 5, Twins 4— Rajai Davis ht a walk-off homer as Oakland ended a 5-game skid and gave manager Bob Melvin his 1,000th win as a major league skipper.

Melvin is a very good manager; too bad he works for an ownership that doesn’t give a rat’s ass about winning, just about making $$$$.

11) Class A Salem Red Sox are 61-44 this year, good news for manager Joe Oliver, since two of his players are the sons of big league managers Mike Matheny/Torey Lovullo. Can move up the ranks a lot quicker if you impress people at the major league level.

10) Edwin Nunez is 5-9 in his first two games for Boston; looks like the Red Sox found their missing infielder.

9) Red Sox have had 53 runners thrown out running the bases this season; no one else has made more than 46 outs on the basepaths.

8) Speaking of Boston, Eduardo Rodriguez threw 107 pitches last night, but only finished four innings. Part of why guys like Kershaw/Scherzer make a freakin’ fortune is that they eat up innings and take a lot of stress off the bullpen, which over a 162-game in 182-day season, is very important.

7) Zack Cozart/Matt Kemp/Troy Tulowitzki go on the DL; Robbie Ray goes on the concussion DL after he got beaned with a line drive Friday night.

6) Dave Stewart threw a no-hitter in Toronto in 1990; until this week, he had never seen a replay of the game, just clips of Dave Henderson catching the last out in CF. Monte Moore, who was the Kansas City A’s radio guy in the 60’s/70’s, had a CD of the 1990 broadcast and sent it to the A’s TV people, who showed it to Stewart this week.

5) Dodgers have won the last 51 games in which they led; that is a major league record and the old record was only 32 games.

4) Dodgers are 18-0 this season when Cody Bellinger drives in 2+ runs. It is weird that Bellinger didn’t come to the majors until April 25; they obviously had very little idea how good he is.

3) When umpire Tom Hallion calls a third strike on a hitter, he prances like Leslie Nelson in The Naked Gun movies, pretty much showing up the hitter. Do hitters get mad at this? Why doesn’t he get all excited when a pitcher walks a guy?

2) Congrats to the late Bill King’s family, after Mr King was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this weekend. Mr King broadcast the A’s/Raiders/Warriors; he is on NFL Films a lot in the old Raiders’ highlights. He was also in Moneyball, when Scott Hatteberg hits a walk-off for the A’s 20th straight win: “How do you explain it? Crazy!!! Just plain crazy!!!”

Congrats, sir.

1) I’m not fond of trade rumors; I know these writers get paid to provide information, but it gets old: “…..Sonny Gray will get traded to (fill in blank)”

Or “Justin Verlander will only get traded to the Cubs” or “Dodgers really want Yu Darvish”

Hey, I’d like to date Gina Gershon, but it ain’t happening. You can’t always get what you want. Just give me the facts, people.

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

Double-Play Picks

Cincinnati Reds at Miami Marlins (-110, 8.5)

The Reds and Marlins go to battle Sunday in Miami. The Fish have taken the first three games of the four-game series and will be looking to sweep the struggling Reds in this early afternoon start.

The Reds have lost the first six games of their current 10-game road trip and have only won 16 games on the road all season (16-35). Breaking down the matchup is always important, but any time you can fade the Reds on the road at even money you have to give it serious consideration.

Right-hander Luis Castillo gets the ball for Cincinnati and he has been decent in his seven starts at the major league level. He is, however, only 1-4 (team win/loss 2-5) in his brief career with a very forgettable ERA of 4.05. In his last three trips to the hill he is 0-3 with a 5.29 ERA.

The Marlins are winners of seven of their last nine games overall and will hand the ball to Dan Straily for what could be his final start with Miami - Straily's name has been thrown around as a potential arm on the move leading up to Monday's non-waiver trade deadline. Despite struggling in his last few outings, Straily has been really good at Marlins Park this season with a 2.82 ERA and a very solid WHIP of 1.17.

When all else fails in this matchup, you can be assured that Castillo will not go deep into the game for the Reds (season high of 6.2 innings pitched). This means that he will have to turn the ball over to the Cincinnati bullpen which owns an ERA of 4.23 and leads all of Major League Baseball with 60 home runs allowed this season.

Pick: Marlins -110

New York Mets at Seattle Mariners (+103, 8)

The New York Mets will continue their road trip Sunday with the final game of a three-game weekend series in Seattle against the Mariners. The clubs split the first two contests with Over and Under also each grabbing one game each.

The Mets lead all of Major League Baseball in Overs this season with 60 (60-31-11), but what better antidote for Overs than facing James Paxton in a pitcher-friendly ballpark.

Paxton has been terrific all season with a 10-3 record and an ERA of 2.84 and at home he has been even better at 6-2 with an ERA of 2.36. Over his last five starts, Paxton has been at his best with a team win/loss of 5-0, an ERA of 1.62, and a WHIP of 0.75 - including his last start which was seven shutout innings and 10 strikeouts in an eventual 4-0 win at Safeco Field against the Boston Red Sox.

The versatile Seth Lugo will get the ball for the Mets today and he has been tossing very well for New York. Over his last three starts he owns a team win/loss of 3-0, an ERA of 3.26, a WHIP of 1.14, and an opponent's on base percentage of .288 - all against decent offensive opponents in the Padres, Cardinals, and Rockies.

Pick: Under 8.5

Yesterday's Picks: 0-1-1
Season To Date: 100-89-10

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Gerrit Cole, Pittsburgh Pirates (8-7, 4.12 ERA, $472)

Right-hander Gerrit Cole is on a nice run for the Pittsburgh Pirates right now. The Bucs have won seven of his last eight starts, including wins in his last four outings in a row. During those last four starts Cole owns an ERA of 2.52 to go along with a tidy WHIP of 1.12.

Cole and the Pirates are picking up some road chalk today in San Diego at -155.

Slumping: Bartolo Colon, Minnesota Twins (2-9, 8.00 ERA, $-111)

"Big Sexy" continues to lock down a regular appearance as our Slumping Starter. In his last appearance, Colon gave up three earned runs over only five innings of work and it was considered a strong outing for the over-the-hill starter. That says plenty about how Colon's season has been going.

Over his last four starts (two with Atlanta and two with Minnesota) Colon's ERA is 11.34 with a WHIP of 2.16. He continues to take away a major league roster spot from some kid in the minor leagues waiting for his big break.

Colon and the Braves are +180 today in Oakland against the A's.

Sunday's Top Trends

* The New York Yankees are 7-0 in their last seven games vs. a right-handed starter. -155 today vs. Rays (Faria).
* The Chicago Cubs are 10-1 in their last 11 road games. -130 today @ Brewers.
* The Cleveland Indians are 9-0 in their last nine overall. -185 today @ White Sox.
* The San Francisco Giants are 1-6 in Madison Bumgarner's last seven starts vs. Dodgers. +240 today @ Dodgers.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

The only precipitation in the baseball forecast for Sunday is in Miami where afternoon thunderstorms will threaten the Miami area. The roof at Marlins Park will likely be closed today.

Today's most notable wind will be an 11 mile per hour breeze blowing in from left field at Petco Park in San Diego. The Padres are hosting the Pirates and the total is currently set at 8.5.

Ump Of The Day

Phil Cuzzi will be calling balls and strikes today in Oakland and that is bad news for Barolo Colon and the visiting Minnesota Twins. Cuzzi is near the top of our 2017 Homer Umpire Stats table at 14-7 for the season. Looking back over the last four seasons, the home team is 66-38 in games with Cuzzi behind the plate (63.5 percent).

The home team is also 17-4 in Cuzzi's last 21 games behind the dish involving the Oakland A's.

The Athletics are big -200 favorites at home today against the Twins.
