**********

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

13) If you have season tickets for an NFL team, you buy 10 games at regular season prices; the obvious problem is this: 2 of those 10 games are exhibition games.

NFL should reduce the price of those two unwatchable preseason games to $25, which would allow people who don’t normally go to exhibition games to go. At some point, the owners have to stop sucking every last dollar from the consumer. Its not good business. Greed isn’t good.

12) 37 Buccaneers sat out their exhibition game Thursday night; assuming all of those guys are making the squad, that means only 16 players who will be Bucs in Week 1 played vs Washington.

11) NFL owners get stadiums built for them; they’re rich people with a sense of entitlement that is out of control. At some point, NFL owners need to give something back to their communities.

10) Seahawks acquired defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson from the Jets on Friday. In return, Seattle sent WR Jermaine Kearse and a 2018 2nd-round draft pick to New Jersey.

9) A professional golfer named Kelly Kraft (#64 in FedEx Cup standings) made a 12 on the par-5 second hole Friday, shot a 44 on the front nine, then withdrew with a foot injury. Oy.

8) Nigel Williams-Goss transferred from Washington to Gonzaga, sat out 2015-16, then helped the Zags make the Final Four last year. He skipped his senior year at Gonzaga, was drafted in the second round by Utah, but instead of getting a two-way contract with Utah, he is off to Serbia to play ball for $130,000 this season. Curious decision.

7) 49ers cut QB Matt Barkley, who figures to get picked up by someone (Buffalo??). Browns cut Brock Osweiler, who still banks $16M from Cleveland— Osweiler is headed back to Denver with a hefty bank account, but with very little success on the field.

6) Baseball players who are September 1st call-ups making minimum MLB salary ($535,000 a year) will earn $90,628 for the rest of the season.

5) Was reading where Justin Verlander approved his trade to Houston one minute before the trade deadline. Supposedly there was a chance he would be traded to the Cubs, but that fell thru.

4) UL-Lafayette 51, SE Louisiana 48— Ragin’ Cajuns ran two kicks back for TD’s; Lions ran a punt back for a score. With 0:42 left, SE Louisiana scored a TD to make score 49-48- they went for two points and the win, but their QB fumbled and ULL ran it back for two points of their own. Game was 35-35 at halftime.

3) Cleveland Browns’ three QB’s (Kizer-Kessler-Hogan) have a total of zero NFL wins to their credit. Browns are paying Brock Osweiler $15M+ to be a backup in Denver.

Dolphins signed K Cody Parkey, which means RPI alum Andrew Franks is out of a job, at least for now.

2) Indians 11, Tigers 1— Cleveland has won 11 games in a row.

1) Jets, Jaguars, Browns picked up five guys each off the waiver wire; Ram picked up three, the Colts four. Most of the better teams didn’t add anyone— you can get a little bit of a feel of who the better teams are by seeing which teams add which players.

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

Double-Play Picks

Los Angeles Angels at Oakland A's (+130, 9.5)

The Angels and Athletics open a three-game American League West division series that certainly means more to the visiting team than the home team.

The Angels sit only 1.5 games back of the Twins for the second wildcard spot in the A.L. and will be looking to sweep the rival A's this week. Meanwhile, the A's are daydreaming about their upcoming off-season vacation in Cabo.

The A's are coming off a terrible road trip where they went 0-6 and will send Chris Smith to the mound today in an attempt to stop the bleeding - we don't think he's exactly the coagulant they need on this day.

Smith is 0-4 with a 6.27 ERA in 8 starts this season. Those numbers aren't great, but he's been even worse over his last five starting assignments at 0-3 with an ERA of 8.14 and a WHIP of 1.521.

Right-hander Parker Bridwell gets the ball for the Angels today and he has been nothing short of tremendous in his rookie season. The Angels are 12-2 in his 15 career starts and they have never lost a Bridwell start on the road with a team win/loss record of 6-0. Bridwell owns a road ERA of 2.00, a WHIP of 1.03, and an opponent's on base percentage of only .266.

Pick: Angels -140

Arizona Diamondbacks at Los Angeles Dodgers (-150, 8.5)

The Diamondbacks and Dodgers meet again for three games this week. The D-Backs completed a three-game sweep of the Dodgers last week at Chase Field and the two teams will reconvene this week at Dodger Stadium.

The Diamondbacks come to town as winners of 10 games in a row, and 12 of their last 13, and will send lefty Robbie Ray to the hill tonight.

In Robbie Ray's (he has one of those names where you have to use both first and last) two starts since returning from the disabled list (concussion) he seems back to his normal self at 2-0 with an ERA of 1.54 and a WHIP of 0.857. In his two starts at Dodger Stadium this season, Robbie Ray owns an ERA of 1.50 with a WHIP of 1.333.

His mound opponent this evening will be left-hander Rich Hill. The D-Backs banged Hill around last week to the tune of six earned runs in only 3.2 innings of work, but that is the lone blemish on Hill's resume over the last two months. In fact, take away that start last week and Hill's ERA over his previous 11 outings is only 2.38.

Hill has been tremendous at home with an ERA of 3.17, a WHIP of 1.17, and an opponent's on base percentage of only .297. In 10 starts at Dodger Stadium this season, the average total runs per game in Rich Hill starts is only 6.50.

This one definitely feels like a pitchers duel, and the total feels too high.

Pick: Under 8.5

Yesterday's Picks: 0-2
Season To Date: 133-123-13

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Jake Arrieta, Chicago Cubs (14-8, 3.36 ERA, $-287)

Jake Arrieta was just awarded the National League's "Pitcher of the Month" award for August, and for good reason. In six starts last month, Arrieta was 4-1 with an ERA of 1.21 and a WHIP of 1.045.

Arrieta and the Cubbies are -180 road favorites today in Pittsburgh against Chad Kuhl and the Pirates.

Slumping: Homer Bailey, Cincinnati Reds (4-7, 7.51 ERA, $-449)

It has certainly been a rough return to Major League Baseball for Reds' right-hander Homer Bailey.

In 13 starts since returning to the rotation after surgery to remove bone spurs in his pitching elbow, Bailey owns a team win/loss record of 4-9 with an ERA of 7.51. Over his last five starts the Reds are just 1-4 and Bailey owns an ERA of 7.83 to go along with a WHIP of 1.8696.

Homer and the Reds are +115 underdogs at home today against Chase Anderson and the Brewers.
