Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

— Louis Oosthuizen’s 2nd place finishes in all four golf majors? They earned him a total of $3,362,406.

— Last two years, MAC football teams are 15-5-1 vs spread when facing a Big 14 team.

— Last night was Jay Bruce’s 1,378th major league game, his first one at Fenway Park.

— NBA schedule was released last night; Warriors are on national TV 43 times, the Hawks and Nets, only twice each.

— NBA starts little earlier this year (October 17); they’re stretching out season to minimize back/backs during the year.

— RIP coach Frank Broyles, 92, an Arkansas icon who was also the #1 college football analyst on ABC for years, working with the great Keith Jackson.

**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but……..

13) Cool to see Chad Bettis pitching for the Rockies Monday night, coming back from testicular cancer to make it back to the major leagues. Not only that, but he shut the Braves out for seven innings. Had to be a very emotional night for Mr Bettis. Good for him.

12) Looking forward to Hard Knocks tonight, when the Bucs part ways with kicker Roberto Aguayo. Tampa Bay TRADED UP to draft a kicker in the 2nd round, then cut him a year later. If I owned the Bucs, I’d want some answers on that one.

Nick Folk is now the Buccaneers’ 7th kicker since 2013.

11) Worst base running play ever Sunday: Phillies have bases loaded, one out, down 4-1. Nick Williams is up; he flies out to short CF- the runner on third tags up but doesn’t try to score. When the throw from the outfield gets by the cutoff man, the guy on second takes off for third, only to find a teammate standing on third when he got there. Oy.

Pay attention; this is why losing teams lose, they get mentally tired and stop paying attention. This was just an awful, careless play by a bad team. Hard to watch.

10) Bills traded for WR Jordan Matthews last week; he got a chip fracture in his sternum during his first practice with Buffalo, and is now week-to-week.

9) Baltimore Ravens signed backup QB Thad Lewis; he’s started six NFL games in his career and has bounced around a lot of rosters— I liked him when he was a backup for the Rams, but what this really is is a signal that Colin Kaepernick is going to have a hard time finding an NFL job.

8) Milwaukee Bucks’ star Giannis Antetokounmpo makes only $25,000 a year to wear Nikes; now that he is a star (his Bucks’ contract is four years, $100M) and his shoe contract is about to end, he is going to break the bank with a new shoe deal.

7) White Sox traded Tyler Clippard to the Astros, as Houston struggles to improve its pitching. Astros will be Clippard’s 6th team in the last three seasons- he must be very good at packing.

6) NFL should have their 2018 draft at a casino in Niagara Falls, seeing how Buffalo/Cleveland both have six picks in the first three rounds next year. Lake Erie will be the draft’s epicenter.

5) It cost $40 just to park for Patriots’ home games in Foxboro. Even exhibition games.

4) Matt Nagy is the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator; his dad was a high school coach in New Jersey who once coached Jets’ head coach Todd Bowles.

The elder Nagy played in the World Football League in the 70’s, a league that played for a year and a half and had some really good players. Matt Nagy played QB for four teams in the Arena League, including for coach John Gregory, who had previously coached Kurt Warner in Iowa.

3) I’m not fond of kids having press conferences to announce their choice of college. Too many young people are attention junkies; just post on Twitter when you’ve made a decision and thats that.

2) Bryce Harper got hurt slipping on a wet base Sunday; for the love of God, lets not over-react and get rid of bases the way they are. Having a kid dry off the bases in between innings would be fine, but lets not get wacky over this and put in flat bases or something like that.

The horse collar tackle rule in the NFL came about because Bo Jackson got hurt on a tackle like that while he was playing for the Raiders. A star gets hurt, people go nuts. Relax.

1) Get well soon to wrestling legend Ric Flair, 68, who is in an ICU in a Georgia hospital with heart problems. Flair has been a positive voice and a great entertainer for decades; hope he feels better soon.[/QUOTE]

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

There is a full 15 game schedule today, including the Rockies who are riding a mile high after their emotional win last night.

Double-Play Picks

Cincinnati Reds at Chicago Cubs (-180, 8.5)

Maybe the Cubs will deploy five outfielders and two catchers to slow down the Reds’ Joey Votto when the two National League Central rivals continue their four-game set Tuesday night in Chicago.

Unfortunately for the Reds, Votto doesn’t pitch for Cincinnati, who fell 15-5 in the opener of their series with the Cubs. The Reds will look to bounce back in Game 2 when they send rookie Luis Castillo to the mound to take on the Cubs’ Kyle Hendricks.

The right-handed Castillo, has been a lone bright spot for a Reds rotation that ranks dead last in the major leagues in starter ERA. Castillo has pitched to a 3.73 ERA and a 1.227 WHIP in 10 starts since joining the Reds’ rotation. If Castillo can’t go deep in this ball game, he hands the ball over to a bullpen that ranks 19th in the league in ERA.

Either way Castillo and the Reds will have their hands full with a Cubs’ lineup that is averaging 6.0 runs per game since the start of August. For the season, they rank ninth in runs per game, seventh in OPS and ninth in home runs.

Chicago counter with Hendricks who has had a solid, if unspectacular, year for Chicago, going 4-4 with a 3.70 ERA and a 1.246 WHIP. Hendricks faces a Reds offense (led by Votto) which has plated 6.8 runs per game in their last nine games, resulting in the Over going 9-0 in those games. Like we said earlier, unfortunately, they have also allowed 7.4 runs per game in that stretch.

Want a few more tidbits? The Over is 5-0 in the last five meetings in Chicago with an average of 14.2 total runs scored per game in those games and the Over is 6-0 in Hendricks' last 6 starts vs. Reds.

Pick: Over 8.5

Atlanta Braves at Colorado Rockies (-140, 11.5)

After last night's very emotional win by the Rockies in the return of Chad Bettis, they look to parlay that into another win tonight with their top starting pitcher of 2017 on the hill.

Lefty Kyle Freeland will be activated off the disabled list for tonight's start against the visiting Atlanta Braves. Freeland was removed from his start on August 4 after only 11 pitches with a groin injury, which means he hasn't had any stress on his arm since the previous start on July 30. He should be as fresh as a daisy tonight.

Hitting the DL with a non-arm injury was actually a good thing for Freeland as the Rockies were mixing in bullpen duties in an effort to limit his innings - two weeks off should take care of any innings concerns.

The Rockies have won Freeland's last four starts and in those outings he has a very tidy 2.34 ERA and a WHIP of 1.146. He has also been better pitching at Coors Field this season with an ERA of only 3.19 (4.22 on the road) and an opponent's on base percentage of only .313 at home.

After last night's loss, the Braves have now lost their last 11 games in Denver and eight of their last nine road games overall. They will send Sean Newcomb to the mound Tuesday night and they have lost the rookie left-hander's last seven starts and nine of his 11 career outings.

Newcomb has never started at Coors Field in his brief career, and that can prove to be a daunting task for a first-timer.

Pick: Rockies -140

Yesterday's Picks: 2-0
Season To Date: 114-104-13

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Justin Verlander, Detroit Tigers (8-7, 3.97 ERA, $-319)

2017 hasn't been the greatest season for Justin Verlander, but over his last three starts the veteran right-hander has been at the top of his game.

He is 3-0 with an ERA of 0.86, a WHIP of 0.86, and an opponent's on base percentage of only .232. He also has 22 strikeout over 21 innings of work in those last three stellar outings.

Verlander and the Tigers are -125 favorites this evening in Arlington against A.J. Griffin and the Rangers.

Slumping: Dan Straily, Miami Marlins (7-8, 3.74 ERA, $-267)

It's an unusually tough day to find a scheduled starting pitcher who has truly sucked in recent weeks. There are a bunch of mediocre starters, but no one who has been dumpster-fire terrible.

Dan Straily wins the prize simply based on the fact that the Marlins have lost his last six starts - and in the end team wins and losses are the most important stat for bettors. Straily has only allowed two earned runs in each of his last three outings, however a bad bullpen and lack of offensive support have been troublesome.

Straily and the Marlins are slight home dogs at -105 against MadBum and the Giants.

Tuesday's Top Trends

* The Boston Red Sox are 8-0 in Rick Porcello's last eight interleague starts. -135 today vs Cardinals.
* The Detroit Tigers are 4-12 in their last 16 meetings with the Texas Rangers. -125 today @ Rangers.
* Over is 14-2 in the last 16 meetings in San Diego between the Phillies and Padres. PHI/SD Total: 8.
* The Los Angeles Dodgers are 48-9 in their last 57 overall. -350 today vs White Sox.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

There is a chance of late afternoon thunderstorms in The Bronx where the Yankees will entertain the Mets. The storms may stick around into the evening but should clear out for game time.

There is also a chance of thunderstorms in Denver late tonight where the Rockies are taking on the Braves. This system should only impact the game if it goes long...which can sometimes happen at Coors Field.

There will be a 10-12 mile per hour hitter's wind blowing out to left field at Fenway Park in Boston where the Cardinals will be in town to take on the Red Sox. The total is set at 10.

And finally, in Arlington, Texas there will be a 10-12 mile per hour pitcher's wind blowing straight in from center field for tonight's game between the Tigers and Rangers. The total is set at 10.

Ump Of The Day

Chris Guccione will be calling balls and strikes in Phoenix for this afternoon's game between the Astros and Diamondbacks.

There is a very interesting trend involving Guccione where the Astros are 5-0 in their last five games with him behind the plate and the Diamondbacks are 0-5 in their last five games with Guccione wearing the pads.

We'll see if this trend continues today. The Astros are slight road favorites at -115.
