Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

— Giants (-4.5) 32, Jets 31— Giants led 29-3; please don’t bet on preseason games.

— Under is 7-5-1 in NFL exhibition games this weekend, with three games left on Sunday.

— WR Julian Edelman tore his ACL Friday night, big blow for the Patriots.

— Daryl Johnston said on the Cowboys’ game last nite that he thinks rookie Cooper Rush should beat out Kellen Moore for the #2 QB job with Dallas.

— There are seven teams within three games fighting for the last AL Wild Card slot.

— Prediction: Colin Kaepernick winds up on the Jaguars, as if they didn’t have enough problems already.


**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Random stuff on a summer Sunday

13) Our thoughts and prayers to everyone on the Gulf coast in Texas/Louisiana, as Hurricane Harvey and its destructive winds wreak havoc. Very sad; hope everyone is safe.

12) Giants 32, Jets 31— Jets’ QB Bryce Petty was 15-for-18, 250 yards, but then he hurt his knee near the end of this game. Christian Hackenberg is horrible; Jets better hope that Josh McCown is ready to play in two weeks. Giants’ defense scored 16 points in this game.

11) Saints 13, Texans 0— New Orleans with a shutout? Texans’ team flew to Dallas after the game and will stay there until it is safe to return to flood-ravaged Houston. Texans are playing the Cowboys Thursday; could be that the game will be moved from Houston to Dallas.

10) Angels 7, Astros 6— Halos scored four runs in bottom of the 8th inning, with Andrelton Simmons hitting the eventual game-winning homer. Angels are only a half-game out of a Wild Card spot.

9) Cleveland Cavaliers are “still evaluating” Isaiah Thomas’ injured hip; they may ask the Celtics to add more to the trade, or they may still void the trade altogether, which would be all kinds of awkward, wouldn’t it?

8) Western HS in Las Vegas won its football game 20-0 Friday night; it was the first football game Western has won in seven years, which is good. Losing all the time sucks.

7) Odd stat: Looking at interleague baseball games.

In games played at AL parks, where they use the DH, over is 65-65-3 this season.

In games at NL parks, with no DH, over is 71-55-7. This makes very little sense.

6) Rhys Hoskins has now hit 10 HR’s in his first 62 AB’s for Philly, and that includes an 0-12 start. He is the fastest hitter in baseball history to hit 10 home runs.

5) Houston Astros fired Quinton McCracken as director of player personnel Friday; they fired eight of their scouts last week. Imagine if they weren’t in first place?

4) Want to win a bar bet? When was the last time a D-I college basketball game was played with neither team making a 3-pointer?

Drexel at Penn, November 24, 2009. Drexel was 0-11 on the arc, Penn was 0-8.

3) Apparently umpires hate it when TV announcers talk about catchers “framing pitches”, in other words, influencing the umpire with how they catch a pitch. Alrighty then.

2) There are actually lawmakers in Texas who voted AGAINST giving aid to hurricane victims in New Jersey when Hurricane Sandy struck a few years ago. How do you do that?

Now these same scumweasels want aid for the Lone Star State, with Hurricane Harvey ravaging the Houston/Galveston/Corpus Christi area.

I hope they get the aid, because we need to help each other, but I hope these weasels realize at some point, that we’re all in this together.

1) I’d be hesitant to grab Lions’ QB Matthew Stafford in fantasy football; his left tackle is Greg Robinson, who came over from the Rams after Detroit’s LT got hurt in the offseason, I’m a Ram fan; Robinson was our LT the last few years, and he struggled mightily, and that being nice. He played very poorly; if you’re an offensive lineman and the Rams don’t want you……..

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

Double-Play Picks

Chicago Cubs at Philadelphia Phillies (+185, 9.5)

The Cubs and Phillies meet Sunday afternoon for the final game of their three-game weekend series in Philadelphia. The teams have split the first two games with the Cubs' exploding for a 17-2 win to even the series yesterday.

We're going to ride the hot bats and a hot right-handed arm getting the start for Chicago today.

John Lackey, after a rough start to the season, is clearly getting into playoff mode for the Cubs. The Cubbies have won his last eight starts and he has looked very solid in all eight - he did allow six earned runs in his last start which was a weird game in Cincinnati with the wind howling straight out at Great American Ball Park. The Cubs ended up winning 13-9 that night against the Reds and have covered -1.5 in seven of Lackey's eight consecutive team wins.

The Phillies will counter with Nick Pivetta and he has been terrible all season long with a team win/loss record of 5-14 and an ERA of 6.73. He has been particularly bad over his last four starts with a team win/loss of 0-4, an ERA of 14.49, and a WHIP of 2.488.

Hot team, hot starting pitcher vs. struggling team, bad starting pitcher.

Pick: Cubs -1.5 (-120)

San Francisco Giants at Arizona Diamondbacks (-190, 9.5)

The Diamondbacks have taken the first two games of this three-game series and will be looking for the weekend sweep of the last place Giants on Sunday afternoon.

Usually taking an Under at Chase Field in Phoenix is a no-no, but we can't ignore how well both starting pitchers have been performing.

Rookie Chris Stratton gets the start for the Giants (who have played Under in six straight games). The young right-hander will be making his fifth career start today. In his last two outings, against pretty good offensive teams in the Brewers and Nationals, Stratton has allowed exactly ZERO runs on only nine hits over 12.2 innings of work.

Patrick Corbin will get the ball for the D-Backs and we are all quite aware that he does his best work at home. In 13 home starts this season, Corbin is 7-3 with a very solid ERA of 2.87. Over his last three starts (one at home and two on the road), he is 3-0 with an ERA of 0.39, a WHIP of 0.73, and an opponent's on base percentage of .198. Those are Robbie Ray type numbers from the beginning of the season.

Two very hot starting pitchers taking on two teams who have not been scoring many runs recently - Giants averaging 2.5 runs per game over their last six, D-Back averaging 3.25 runs per game over their last eight).

Sounds like a good scenario for an Under play.

Pick: Under 9.5

Yesterday's Picks: 1-1
Season To Date: 126-115-13

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Patrick Corbin, Arizona Diamondbacks (11-11, 4.09 ERA, $-86)

We don't usually include a starting pitcher in this section if he's already been mentioned above in the picks section, but Patrick Corbin has been so good he deserves the double-billing - and the pickings are slim today.

Over his last three starts, Corbin has only allowed one earned run (ERA of 0.39) and 13 hits (WHIP of 0.73) in 23.1 innings of work.

Corbin and the Diamondbacks are available at a chalky -190 today at home against Chris Stratton and the Giants.

Slumping: Mike Foltynewicz, Atlanta Braves (10-9, 4.95 ERA, $595)

The 2017 season started out really well for Mike Foltynewicz, but over the last month there have been a few very wobbly performances - and in his last three starts the wheels have completely fallen off.

In his last three outings Folty is 0-3 with an ERA of 15.43, a WHIP of 2.91, and an incredibly bad opponent's on base percentage of .507.

Foltynewicz and the Braves are slight dogs (+110) at home today against Jon Gray and the Rockies.

Sunday's Top Trends

* The Minnesota Twins are 15-1 in Kyle Gibson's last 16 road starts vs. a team with a losing record. +130 today at Blue Jays.
* The Miami Marlins are 9-1 in their last 10 home games. -160 today vs. Padres.
* The Kansas City Royals are 2-11 in their last 13 games in Cleveland. +180 today at Indians.
* Over is 15-3 in the St. Louis Cardinals' last 18 vs. American League East. Rays/Cards Total: 8.5.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

For starters, thoughts and prayers for everyone in southern Texas - absolutely horrible situation.

As for MLB weather today, the only game on the schedule that may see precipitation is on the South Side of Chicago where the White Sox will host the Tigers this afternoon. There is a chance that some afternoon thunderstorms will develop during the late innings.

The most notable wind this afternoon will be at Fenway Park in Boston where the forecast is calling for a 10-12 mile per hour breeze blowing in from the right field bleachers. The Orioles are in town taking on the Red Sox and the total for today's contest is set at 10.5.

Ump Of The Day

Ted Barrett will be calling balls and strikes today in Atlanta where the Braves are hosting the Rockies.

Barrett is one of baseball's top Under umps this season at 13-8-3 and the Under is 12-3-2 in his last 17 games wearing the pads. He is also a very prominent homer at 17-7 for the home team in his 24 games behind the dish in 2017.

The Braves are slight home dogs today at +110 and the total is set at 9.
