Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

— 92% of the bets placed have been placed on Conor McGregor for Saturday’s fight, but 79% of the money bet is on Floyd Mayweather.

— Indians 5, Boston 4— Andrew Miller/Carlos Santana left with injuries, but Cleveland now has a 6-game lead in AL Central.

— Jay Bruce is 16 for 44 (.364) since joining the Indians.

— 78 of Colorado’s 124 games this season have been started by rookie pitchers.

— The last preseason #1 team to win a college football national title? USC in 2004.

— San Francisco Giants have been eliminated from playoff contention already, the earliest any team has been eliminated since 1998.

**********

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

13) New Jersey Jets have had five head coaches since Bill Parcells left after the 1999 season; here are their records— their first season with the Jets, then the rest of the tenures after.

2000— Al Groh: 1st year: 9-7. Left after that season
2001-05— Herm Edwards: 1st year: 10-6. Rest of tenure: 29-35
2006-08— Eric Mangini: 1st year: 10-6. Rest of tenure: 13-19
2009-14— Rex Ryan: 1st year: 9-7. Rest of tenure: 37-43
2015-present— Todd Bowles: 1st year: 10-6. Since then: 5-11

Total: 1st year of tenure: 48-32. Other seasons: 84-108

I have no explanation for this, but these are the facts- they are not in dispute.

12) Jets’ QB Christian Hackenberg got hit so hard by a Detroit lineman the other night, I actually feared for his health when I saw a replay of the hit. That one had to hurt……a lot.

11) Showtime did an excellent reality series last year following Florida State football; they did one on Notre Dame the year before (I didn’t see that one). This year, they’re following the Navy Midshipmen, which should be interesting, seeing how ballplayers at military academies have to really be good time managers, given their workloads.

10) Part of the reason the Rams paid a King’s ransom for Jared Goff last spring was that they projected ahead to the Class of ’17 QB’s and they didn’t like what they saw. Something to think about if some of this year’s rookie QB’s get on the field early this season.

9) On April 17, the Orioles traded pitcher Parker Bridwell to the Angels for a player to be named later or cash. Bridwell is now 7-1, 2.88 in 11 starts for the contending Angels, with a WHIP of 1.17. If not for Aaron Judge, Bridwell might’ve been Rookie of the Year in the AL.

8) Scott Tolzien is the Indianapolis Colts’ likely starter in Week 1; he has suited up for 51 NFL games in his seven NFL seasons, played in only 9 games, starting three (0-2-1 W-L record). He’s thrown 128 NFL passes, with two TD’s, seven INT’s.

But he also went 21-5 as the starting QB at Wisconsin, so best not to underestimate him.

7) Cardale Jones is the 3rd-string QB for the Chargers; he was 7-15 for 61 yards against the Saints Sunday in a dismal 13-7 loss. Chargers’ only TD was scored by their defense.

Jones left Ohio State early- he started only 11 games for the Buckeyes. If I had to advise a young quarterback, I would advise him to play as much college football as humanly possible, for more than one reason:

— Experience makes you a better player; the more you practice, the better your skills become.
— Experience makes you more confident in your abilities; the more situations you see, the better you will handle the more advanced competition in the NFL.
— You’re older and more physically mature; NFL players are very large grown men.

6) Broncos-Raiders is a bitter rivalry and always has been, but this year’s games should get a boost in intensity. Bill Musgrave is Denver’s new QB coach this season, after the Raiders let him walk after two years of being Oakland’s offensive coordinator.

I’m sure there are no hard feelings.

5) Geniuses at ESPN showed Sonny Gray’s pitching line on the crawl on the bottom of the screen Sunday night; when it showed he had no strikeouts, they were kind enough to add (0 K’s, career low), as if we couldn’t figure out ourselves that zero would be his career low. Oy.

4) Steelers’ coach Mike Tomlin believes live tackling in practice is a necessity to properly prepare for the season; SI.com‘s Peter King wrote this weekend that of all the training camps he visited this summer, Pittsburgh/Seattle were by far the most physical.

Most teams are so paranoid about players getting hurt that live tackling is non-existent in most practices.

3) Anquan Boldin retires after 14 years in the NFL and 1,076 receptions; he started out as a QB at Florida State. When he played for the Cardinals, he broke his cheekbone while catching a TD pass and tried to talk his way into staying in the game. Tough guy. Great player.

2) I’m thinking that there will be chaos in some NFL front offices in 10 days or so, when 1,184 free agents hit the streets. Lousy teams will be working the phones, trying to improve their rosters wherever they can by picking up guys the better teams cut. Will be some guys starting for teams in Week 1 who haven’t been on that team for very long.

1) Lot of people are touting Tennessee Titans as a Cinderella team in the AFC, but one thing they better do if they’re going to make the playoffs— beat the Colts. Indianapolis is 15-1 in its last 16 games against Tennessee. That obviously needs to change if the Titans are really contenders.

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

Double-Play Picks

Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati Reds (+145, 10.5)

The Cubs and Reds collide in Cincinnati this evening in the opening game of their three-game series.

These two offensive-minded teams met last week for four games at Wrigley Field and it was a fireworks display, with three of the four games going over the total and an average combined score of 14.75 runs per game.

This week at the Great American Ball Park should be no different. The wind is expected to be blowing out today and the ball will be flying.

The Cubs are averaging 7.125 runs per game over their last eight contests and will send veteran right-hander John Lackey to the mound tonight. Lackey seems to be getting into playoff mode as he has pitched very well over his last seven starts, but pitching on the road is definitely his weaker situation when looking at home/road splits with an ERA of 4.85 away from Wrigley Field this season.

Lackey's last two starts at Great American Ball Park against the Reds have not gone well with a pair of losses and an 8.49 ERA.

Homer Bailey will get the start for the Reds and it's certainly no secret that he's been terrible in his 11 starts since returning from the disabled list back in June. The Reds are being patient with their former ace, but it has to be wearing thin at this point.

In those 11 starts he owns an ERA of 8.44 and a WHIP of 2.04 and over his last three starts his ERA is 11.57 with a WHIP of 2.57, including a rough outing last week against these Cubs in which he allowed six earned runs over 5.2 innings of work.

Both teams are riding Over trends. Over is 6-0 in the Cubs' last 6 games following an off day and Over is 12-3 in the Reds' last 15 overall.

Pick: Over 10.5

Minnesota Twins at Chicago White Sox (+115, 10.5)

The Twins and White Sox meet today for the third game of their five-game series. The two teams split a doubleheader yesterday and by the end of this week they are really going to hate looking at each other's faces across the diamond.

The Twins currently hold the second wildcard spot in the American League, so these five games against the last place White Sox are very important.

The Twins are still one of the top road teams in baseball at 33-25 and will send Kyle Gibson to the mound today in Chicago.

Gibson has carved himself out a bit of a niche that we have been following for a little while now - he is very good on the road against bad teams. In fact, the Twins are now 15-2 in his last 17 road starts against teams below .500. In his last three starts at (what is now known as) Guaranteed Rate Field against the White Sox he is 3-0 with an ERA of 0.40 and a WHIP of 0.706.

The White Sox will call up right-hander Lucas Giolito from AAA to face the Twins tonight. Giolito was acquired from the Nationals in the Adam Eaton trade and does have some major league experience, posting a 6.75 ERA in six appearances (four starts) with Washington last season.

Although his season numbers in AAA are not great (6-10, 4.48 ERA) he has put it together in his last five starts with Charlotte (3-1, 1.71 ERA). His turnaround is solely based on command of the strike zone and the nerves of being back in the big leagues will have an impact on his performance tonight.

The Twins need this win and should be able to pull it out against a young pitcher and a bullpen that got plenty of work in yesterday's doubleheader (seven relievers used by the Sox).

Pick: Twins -125

Yesterday's Picks: 1-1
Season To Date: 120-112-13

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Lance Lynn, St. Louis Cardinals (10-6, 3.05 ERA, $102)

The Cardinals are fighting to stay in the National League Central race, currently sitting 3.5 games behind the Cubs for first in the division, and a big reason for that has been the team's starting pitching - with Lance Lynn leading the way.

Lynn has been outstanding for the Cardinals. The right-hander has delivered a quality start in his last eight outings with St. Louis going 6-2 in the process. In those eight games Lynn has pitched to a ridiculous 1.46 ERA and a 1.155 WHIP.

Lynn and the Cardinals are big -189 home favorites tonight against the Padres.

Slumping: Nick Pivetta, Philadelhia Phillies (4-8, 6.05 ERA, $-581)

The Phillies rebuild is in full swing and one youngster they will be taking a long look at heading into next season is rookie Nick Pivetta.

The 6-foot-5, 24-year-old right-hander has flashed some potential this season, but he is in the midst of a slump. He is 0-2 in his last three starts with a whopping 10.22 ERA and a 2.028 WHIP.

Pivetta will be taking the mound in Game 2 of the Phillies double-header against the Marlins today, where Philadelphia is currently a +110 home dog.

Tuesday's Top Trends

* The Los Angeles Dodgers are 53-10 in their last 63 overall. -110 today at Pirates.
* Under is 14-3 in the Baltimore Orioles' last 17 games vs. a right-handed starter. A's/Orioles Total: 11.
* The Arizona Diamondbacks are 3-14 in Patrick Corbin's last 17 road starts. -160 today at Mets.
* Over is 11-1 in the San Diego Padres' last 12 road games vs. a right-handed starter. Padres/Cardinals Total: 8.5.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

The Dodgers and Pirates might have a tough time getting their game in this evening at PNC Park - thunderstorms and heavy rains are expected all evening in Pittsburgh.

There are also some early evening thunderstorms in the forecast for Ohio that could impact the start times of the Cubs and Reds in Cincinnati and the Red Sox and Indians in Cleveland. The storms should clear out in both cities by 9:00pm local time.

The most notable wind tonight will be a very stiff 14-16 mile per breeze blowing straight out to center field at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia where the Phillies will host the Marlins in a doubleheader. The total for Game 1 is currently set at 9 with Game 2 set at 9.5.

Ump Of The Day

Gary Cederstrom: Home teams have enjoyed seeing Cederstrom behind home plate this season. Home teams have gone 17-7 (70.8 percent) when the veteran umpire is calling balls and strikes in 2017, with the home team winning by an average margin of 1.42 runs per game. Looking even further back, the home team is 40-13 in the last 53 games he has been behind the dish.

That should make the Angels and their backers happy tonight as they host the Rangers. Plus, the home team is 5-0 in Cederstrom's last five games behind home plate when Los Angeles plays and Home team is 7-1 in his last eight Tuesday games behind home plate. The Angels are currently -140 favorites.
