Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

— Chiefs 42, Patriots 27— Alex Smith played really well, going 28-35 for 365 yards, four TD’s.

— Kareem Hunt is first player since Billy Sims in 1980 to gain 180+ yards from scrimmage and score 3+ TD’s in his NFL debut.

— Chiefs had the ball up 21-17 with 7:10 to go in 3rd quarter; KC was still +$155 on the live line.

— Indians 11, White Sox 2— Cleveland has now won 15 games in a row, outscoring opponents 109-28.

— Rockies 9, Dodgers 1— Clayton Kershaw lasted only 3.2 innings, allowing four runs.

— Florida, Florida State, Miami, South Florida all cancelled their football games this weekend because of Hurricane Irma.

**********

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: NFL knowledge with the season here…….

13) Dallas Cowboys haven’t played in a Super Bowl since the 1995 season; Russell Wilson, Ben Roethlisberger both won a Super Bowl in their second season- Dallas is hoping Dak Prescott gets a championship in his second season.

12) Roethlisberger has played all 16 games in only three of his 13 NFL seasons; he missed one game in four other seasons.

11) Teams who have rebuilt/are rebuilding their offensive lines:
— Vikings have four new starters on the offensive line.
— Broncos, Ravens, Chargers, Lions, Rams all have three new starters.

10) Indianapolis Colts have eight new starters on defense; their QB and center are both out to start this season.

9) Lot of people are touting the Buccaneers to be a playoff team this year; after watching Hard Knocks this summer, I wasn’t overly impressed by anything about them, other than coach Dirk Koetter is a very calm person. Even when he curses someone out, it is done quietly.

Koetter got the head coaching job because of how he’s helped Jameis Winston develop as a QB; would’ve liked to have seen some of that behind-the-scenes teaching on Hard Knocks.

8) Carolina Panthers lost six games by 3 or less points last year; teams like that often make a quantum leap forward if they get some breaks the next season, but Carolina was also 15-1 the year before, so maybe last year was the correction.

In any event. Cam Newton’s shoulder is the Panthers’ most important variable.

7) Do you think Bill Belichick will retire when Tom Brady does?

6) Oakland Raiders have five new starters on defense; Derek Carr has been terrific at QB as a Raider, but he is 1-5 against the Chiefs.

5) Minnesota QB Sam Bradford’s passes traveled an average of 6.24 yards in the air LY, the shortest average pass of any starting QB, which helps explain why he completed 70% of them.

Bradford’s best WR is Michael Floyd, who is suspended for the first four games this year.

4) Baltimore Ravens were 8-8 LY, losing three games they led with 2:30 to play; since June 1, Ravens have lost four starters for the season with injuries. Joe Flacco didn’t take a snap in the preseason games and they have three new starters on the OL. I’m a skeptic.

3) Arizona Cardinals have only five outdoor games this season; three of their road games are in domes. Cardinals also have six new starters on defense this season.

2) New Orleans Saints have been 7-9 the last three seasons; they’ve got six new starters on defense this year. Will they run the ball more this season to protect that defense, and aging QB Drew Brees? They’ve added Adrian Peterson, so it is a popular theory.

1) Last two years, Chargers are 7-17 in games decided by 8 or less points; they’ve got 10 starters back on defense and a rookie coach who hired two former head coaches as coordinators, which seems like a smart move.

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

The Indians have set a franchise record winning 15 straight games, while the Diamondbacks have won 13 in a row over in the National League.

There is a full slate of 15 games on the MLB schedule today, which includes the Indians and Diamondbacks trying to extend their impressive win streaks. Get analysis on all of today's games as well as tips on weather, umpires, and other betting trends with our daily MLB Line Drive.

Double-Play Picks

Houston Astros at Oakland Athletics (+149, 9)

While most people are talking about the Indians and Diamondbacks respective impressive win streaks, the American League leading Astros have quietly won seven straight themselves. They go for eight in a row Friday night when they visit the A’s.

Houston sends right-hander Collin McHugh to the mound for the opener of their four-game set, which could mean a tough night for Oakland.

McHugh, has looked good since coming off the disabled after he missed the first half of the season with an elbow injury. Since coming off the DL he has 2-2 with a 3.25 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP in eight starts and he loves facing the A’s, who are already slumping having lost eight of their last nine games.

The Astros have won McHugh’s last seven starts against the A’s and is 7-1 in 10 career starts against them, pitching to a 2.73 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in those 10 games.

But if -165 is too chalky for you, check this out. The Astros are 13-3 against the A’s this season and in all 13 wins they have won by at least two runs. Plus, they’re on of the best teams against the runline on the road in the MLB at 41-26.

If you think they’ll win and we do take the runline.

Pick: Astros -1.5 (+103)

Cincinnati Reds at New York Mets (-110, 9)

We got a little unlucky with the Push in last night’s game, as no runs were scored after the sixth inning and Matt Harvey put up an acceptable performance. Well, we are going back to the well for the second game of this four-game set in Queens.

Game 2 pits two southpaws against one another as Cincinnati’s Amir Garrett faces off against New York’s Seth Lugo.

The Reds have lost Gerrett’s last six starts in which he hasn’t gone past the fourth inning four times and where he has an ERA of a whopping 12.49 and a WHIP of 2.15.

Lugo hasn’t been much better for the Mets. New York has lost four of his last five starts, where he has pitched to a 6.93 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP.

Oh, and even with the Push last night, they’re still the best two Over teams in baseball.

Pick: Over 9

Yesterday's Picks: 0-1-1
Season To Date: 135-128-14

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Patrick Corbin, Arizona Diamondbacks

The D-backs are on fire, having won 13 in a row, including two sweeps of the Dodgers and Patrick Corbin has been a big part of that, as the Arizona southpaw has been dealing.

The Diamondbacks have won Corbin’s last five starts, pitching to a ridiculous 0.50 ERA and a 0.67 WHIP. Corbin and the D-backs go for 14 in a row when they host the Padres as big -250 chalk on Friday night.

Slumping: Buck Farmer, Detroit Tigers

Poor ol’ Buck. Farmer has been a spot starter for the Tigers over the last four seasons and with the 2017 season already in the dumpster for Detroit that means more starts for the right-hander.

Farmer’s first two starts this season went very well surprisingly, allowing no earned runs in 13 innings pitched. Since then, it hasn’t gone so well. In Farmer’s last four starts the Tigers are 1-3, while he has pitched to a 14.18 ERA and 2.03 WHIP.

Farmer and the Tigers are big +190 dogs tonight in Toronto when they visit the Blue Jays.

Friday's Top Trends

* Nationals are 6-0 in Max Scherzer's last six home starts. Nationals -330 vs. Phillies.
* Marlins are 1-10 in their last 11 overall. Marlins -118 @ Braves.
* Under is 23-5-1 in Brewers last 29 road games. O/U: 8 @ Cubs.
* Over is 9-1-1 in Ian Kennedy's last 11 home starts. Royals +202 vs. Twins.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

The Windy City will live up to its name on Friday. With winds blowing in from center at Wrigley at 11 mph and from left to right field at Guaranteed Rate Field.
