Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Since 2010, number of games with less than 250 total yards of offense:
(This is only for teams in ACC, Big 14, Big X, Pac-12, SEC)
27— Wake Forest
22— FLORIDA— huh?
19— Kentucky
18— Kansas, Vanderbilt
17— Maryland
16— Illinois

Added stuff
— Arizona’s JD Martinez hit four HR’s last night, off 4 different Dodger pitchers- he homered in 7th, 8th and 9th innings.
— Tennessee 42, Georgia Tech 41 OT– Tech went for two and the win in the second OT. I’ll have a lot more on that decision tomorrow

**********

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

13) Think I say this every summer, but every NFL team should carry three QB’s for every game, even if the league mandates a 3rd QB roster spot that is apart from the normal 53-man roster. It should be done for the quality of the product.

Couple years ago, Houston Texans lost their QB to an injury on the first series of the game; for the rest of the afternoon, they had to be ultra-cautious with their backup QB, since he had no backup, so if he got hurt, Houston would’ve had to use a WR at QB and run Wildcat offense. What resulted was a terrible game to watch and a Houston loss.

For the good of the viewing audience, all teams should carry three QB’s for every game.

12) I’ll keep this short: Aaron Donald has two years left on his contract, so I have no sympathy for him in his holdout. Come in, be the great player you are and eventually you’ll get paid. His agent is screwing him over if he allows Donald to miss games.

11) Gus Johnson was calling UCLA’s 45-44 comeback win over Texas A&M on FOX Sunday night; Johnson is good at calling games until they get dramatic at the end, then he gets full of himself and starts screaming, so everyone knows HE is calling the action.

Let the game speak for itself, please?!?!?!

10) Speaking of that game, a Texas A&M regent went on a Facebook rant after the game, saying Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin should be fired. I’m thinking this where if you’re this regent, you type the rant, count to 10, read it again, count to 10 again, then hit the “delete” key, so you don’t make yourself look like a fool. But thats just me.

9) When a football official throws a flag in the defensive backfield, it is funny how often one of his fellow officials also throws a flag, to “sell the call”, as in “if two refs threw the flag it MUST HAVE BEEN a penalty.” Actually, it is fairly annoying, like we’re not smart enough to notice that BS.

8) Sun Belt teams were 5-1 against the spread this weekend; Big 14 teams were 8-4. Conference-USA teams were 2-6, ACC teams 2-5 against the spread.

7) Odd baseball game in Seattle Sunday; Oakland A’s lost 10-2 to lefty Andrew Albers, who isn’t exactly Sandy Koufax. A’s swung at 71 of Albers’ 101 pitches, but got only one hit- they fouled off 41 of his pitches!!! Thats a major league high for the last three years.

Albers induced only five swings/misses; 13 balls were put in play. Very unusual stat line for him.

6) I mentioned recently that the Reds should bat Joey Votto leadoff, because of his .448 OB%. Turns out his on-base % leading off an inning this year is “only” .373— he’s led off 86 innings. From 2014-16, his on-base %age leading off an inning was .419.

5) The last 23 times umpire Doug Eddings worked the plate, the underdog is 19-4.

4) When the Dodgers lost five games in a row last week, it was their first 5-game skid since April 25-30, 2016. In between those two losing streaks, the other 29 big league teams had a combined 131 five+-game losing streaks.

3) Giancarlo Stanton has had 45 games this year when he didn’t get a hit; the Marlins are 10-35 in those games, 57-34 in all their other games.

2) Andrew Luck has been declared out for the Colts’ opener in Los Angeles Sunday, meaning Scott Tolzien (0-2-1 as an NFL starter) gets the nod at QB for Indianapolis.

1) You read about this Dreamers program, where children of illegal immigrants might get deported, as many as 800,000 of them. At least 250 of those people work at Apple— do we really want 250 smart people deported? Deport criminals, not productive people.

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

Double-Play Picks

Kansas City Royals at Detroit Tigers (+115, 10)

The Royals and Tigers will get together for Game 2 of their three-game series Tuesday evening. The Royals took the opener 7-6 and have now beaten the Tigers in six consecutive meetings.

The Tigers are now just 3-12 in their last 15 home games and will send one of our all-time starting pitcher fades to the mound tonight. Anibal Sanchez did have a decent stretch of winning games earlier in the summer, but he is back to his losing ways and could be headed back to the bullpen (or worse) very soon.

The Tigers have lost his last three starts and in those outings he owns an ERA of 13.50, a WHIP of 2.21, an opponent's on base percentage of .431, and he has allowed NINE HOME RUNS. Let's repeat that...NINE HOME RUNS in his last three starts (11.1 innings)!

The Royals will send lefty Jason Vargas to the mound. He is in the midst of a bit of a rough patch as well, but nowhere near as bad as Sanchez - and Vargas has a much better team behind him.

The Royals have lost Vargas' last three starts but he has been solid on the road this season with a team win/loss of 8-4, a 3.88 ERA, and a WHIP of 1.29.

The Royals are still in the American League wildcard hunt and a win today over a bad team will certainly help their cause.

Pick: Royals -125

Washington Nationals at Miami Marlins (+150, 8.5)

The Nationals seem to be in cruise control heading towards a National League East title and a matchup with the Cubs, or maybe the Brewers, in the first round of the playoffs. Washington holds a 16-game lead over the second-place Marlins and the two continue a three-game set Tuesday night in Miami.

The Nationals have won six straight meetings against the Marlins and it won’t get any easier for Miami on Tuesday as Washington sends the red-hot Stephen Strasburg to the mound.

Strasburg has been absolutely dealing in his last five starts, pitching a ludicrously low 0.90 ERA and a 0.80 WHIP, while racking up 36 strikeouts to just seven walks. The Nationals are 4-1 in those starts.

Let’s not forget to mention that Strasbug has owned the Marlins over the past couple of years. The Nationals have won his last six starts against Miami, pitching to a 2.20 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP while striking out 41.

When it comes to the Marlins the only thing left to cheer for is Giancarlo Stanton dingers. He is on pace for 61 right now but aside from Stanton, the Marlins offense has dried up. Miami has scored 2.6 runs per contest in the last eight games, in which they have lost seven.

Expect Strasburg to stay hot.

Pick: Nationals -1.5 (+102)

Yesterday's Picks: 1-1
Season To Date: 134-124-13

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Zach Davies, Milwaukee Brewers (16-7, 3.85 ERA, $1014)

The Brewers are still clinging on to slim playoff hopes, trailing the Cubs by 3.5 games in the National League Central and 1.5 back of the second wildcard spot, and they’re in a good position to inch closer when they send Zach Davies to the hill on Tuesday.

Davies has led the Brewers to 3-1 record in his last four starts with a 1.01 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. Going back further he has pitched eight quality starts in his last nine outings, where he has a 1.77 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP.

Davies and the Brewers are -132 road favorites for tonight’s matchup against the Reds.

Slumping: Anibal Sanchez, Detroit Tigers (3-3, 7.42 ERA, $-23)

It’s tough to watch the Tigers right now. They’re bags are already packed for the off-season and they seem to take the field in body only, none show this better than Anibal Sanchez.

The Tigers’ right-hander is 0-2 in his last three starts with a whopping 13.50 ERA and a 2.21 WHIP. Sanchez and the Tigers take the field (kind of) as +115 home underdogs against the visiting Royals tonight.

Tuesday's Top Trends

* The New York Mets are 10-0 in deGroms 10 career starts vs. Phillies. -200 today.
* The Cleveland Indians are 12-0 in their last 12 games overall, including 7-0 in their last 7 games vs. a left-handed starter. -260 today at White Sox (Holberg).
* Under is 10-0-1 in Ty Blach's last 11 starts vs. National League West. Giants/Rockies Total: 12.5.
* The Los Angeles Dodgers are 1-10 in Hyun-Jin Ryu's last 11 starts vs. a team with a winning record. -125 today vs. Diamondbacks.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

Weather is certainly the talk of the sports world at the moment with Hurricane Irma barrelling down on Florida. Stay tuned on that front.

For Tuesday's MLB forecast there will be thunderstorms in the Baltimore area for most of the day and those storms could threaten tonight's games between the Orioles and the visiting Yankees.

Much like yesterday, wind could play a huge role across the league today:

Blue Jays at Red Sox (Total: 9.5) - 14-15 mile per hour wind blowing out to left-center field.
Royals at Tigers (Total: 10) - 10-12 mile per hour wind blowing out to left field.
Phillies at Mets (Total: 8) - 13-16 mile per hour wind blowing out to left-center field.
Brewers at Reds (Total: 9.5) - 8-12 mile per hour wind blowing out to right-center field.
Indians at White Sox (Total: 9.5) - 10-12 mile per hour wind blowing out to right-center field.
Angels at Athletics (Total: 9.5) - 11-14 mile per hour wind blowing out to right field.
Cardinals at Padres (Total: 8.5) - 9-12 mile per hour wind blowing in from left field.

Ump Of The Day

Tom Woodring will be calling balls and strikes today in Oakland where the A's will take on the Angels. Woodring ranks No. 5 in our Over umpire standings at 13-6 (68.4 percent).

He's not a huge volume guy when it comes to home plate assignments, but when he does get behind the dish his games tend to lean toward the Over. In 60 career games, starting in 2014, the Over is 38-22 (63.33 percent) in games with Woodring in pads.

The total for today's game in Oakland is currently set at 9.5.
