Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

— 85-year old Vince Dooley, the former Georgia football coach, threw out the first pitch before the Brewers-Cubs game. Dawgs play Notre Dame Saturday night, so lot of their fans were in Chicago last night to see the Cubs play.

— Indians 5, Orioles 0— Sixteen wins in a row for Cleveland.

— As of 9:30 Friday night, there were 2,649 entries in the Westgate Super Contest, at $1,500 a pop. First place will be over a million bucks.

— Pablo Sandoval homered last night, ending an 0-for-39 slump that was longest hitless streak EVER by a Giants’ position player.

— Miami Dolphins will practice in Los Angeles next week; Jaguars will stay in Houston Sunday nite until they can determine if it is safe to return to Jacksonville.

— New York-Tampa Bay 3-game series scheduled for the Trop next week has been moved to Citi Field in NYC because of Hurricane Irma.

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Things I’m looking for this weekend…….

13) Ohio State went to Norman and whacked Oklahoma 45-24 LY; now the teams meet in the Horseshoe, with two senior QB’s and two experienced offensive lines.

12) Ezekiel Elliott will play; unsure if Odell Beckham (ankle) will, but Giant-Cowboy games are usually fun, which is why they’re always in primetime games together.

11) Louisville plays Clemson next week, but first they visit a North Carolina squad that lost as a double digit home favorite to Cal last week. Trap game for the Cardinals.

10) Browns cut CB Joe Haden couple weeks ago; Steelers gave him $27M for three years about a half hour later. Haden meets up with his old teammates Sunday when Pittsburgh visits Cleveland.

9) Iowa’s offense didn’t look like much last week in a win over Wyoming. Hawkeyes usually beat rival Iowa State, but the Cyclones were 4-1 as a home underdog last year.

8) Super Bowl losers usually struggle the next year, especially in season openers (2-12 vs spread the last 14 years). Falcons are favored in Chicago after their 0-4 preseason. Mike Glennon makes his debut at QB for the Bears.

7) Pittsburgh beat Penn State last year, but the Panthers needed OT to beat I-AA Youngstown last week. Penn State crushed Akron last week. Revenge could be in the cards in Happy Valley.

6) Raiders/Texans both improved a lot last year; then both lost their QB late in the season. Oakland re-tooled its defense a lot in the offseason; this will be a good test for them.

5) Stanford has had the upper hand over USC for the last decade now; Trojans need to win this game to stake their claim to the top of the Pac-12. If you’re a Jet fan, watching this game might be more interesting than the game in Buffalo Sunday, seeing how USC’s QB Sam Darnold figures to be the first QB taken in next spring’s draft.

4) Jacksonville is going to try and play old school football, running ball more to protect its defense and its suspect QB. Houston Texans have obviously had tremendous distractions the last few weeks; for three hours, the Texans and their fans can block all that out, maybe.

3) Mike Riley used to be Oregon State’s coach; he didn’t do that well vs rival Oregon, but now he brings his Nebraska Cornhuskers to Eugene. There have been wildfires in Oregon this week that messed with the air quality in Eugene; the Ducks moved their practices closer to the ocean.

2) Can’t wait to see how Jared Goff looks after being coached this summer; Rams-Colts game is a little weird. LA doesn’t have Aaron Donald, its best defensive player. Indy doesn’t have its QB Andrew Luck, or its center.

1) Kansas hasn’t been 2-0 in football since 2011; they host a Central Michigan squad here that needed OT last week to beat a I-AA team. Jayhawks are favored to get to that 2-0 mark.

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

Double-Play Picks

Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers (-240, 8)

Good thing the Dodgers were on a historic pace earlier this season, because they are in one hell of a slump right now, having lost 13 of their last 14 games. They continue a four-game set against the visiting Rockies Saturday night in Los Angeles having dropped the first two games.

The Dodgers have allowed 5.6 runs per game during this skid and face a Rockies team that ranks second in batting average, fourth in OPS and fifth in runs per game.

Alex Wood gets the start for the Dodgers and while he has been mostly outstanding this season, he has hit a little bump in the road. In his last two starts has a 5.25 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP. In his last three starts at home, he has a 5.77 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP.

Even more shocking may be the Dodgers are scoring just 2.1 runs per game in the last 14. Maybe a date with the Rockies’ Chad Bettis is what they need.

Bettis started out great in his return to the Rockies’ rotation, but in the three starts since he is 0-2 with a 7.63 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP.

Pick: Over 8

New York Yankees at Texas Rangers (+145, 9)

It’s a battle of two American League Wild Card contenders when the Rangers host the Yankees for the second game of a three game set in Texas Saturday afternoon.

It was the Rangers who struck first in the series, outslugging the Yankees 11-5 in Game 1 and now trail the Twins by 2.5-games for the second Wild Card spot, while the Yankees currently hold the top spot by that same number.

Game 2 will seek the Yankees’ young right-hander Luis Severino toes the rubber again the Rangers righty Andrew Cashner.

Severino has been great for the Yanks in 2017, going 12-6 with a 3.03 ERA and a WHIP of 1.07 WHIP and he has been even better of late. In his last four starts the Yanks are 3-1 and he has pitched to a 1.40 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP. Heck, throw out that disastrous outing against the Red Sox a few weeks ago and the Yankees are 8-1 in his last nine starts with a 1.22 ERA with a 1.03 WHIP.

Cashner, on the other hand, has quietly had a nice season in his first year with the Rangers. Cashner is 9-9 with a 3.29 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP. At home, he is 4-3 with a 2.34 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP.

The Rangers playoff hopes are slimming by the day, so every game is important. With two good pitchers on the mound expect this game to have a postseason atmosphere.

Pick: Under 9

Yesterday's Picks: 0-2
Season To Date: 135-130-14

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Jeff Samardzija, San Francisco Giants (9-12, 4.31 ERA, $-424)

Not a lot of things went well for the San Francisco Giants this season and that might be an understatement. If there is a positive down the stretch it’s been ‘The Shark’, who is putting together a pretty nice run.

Over his last three starts, he has only allowed two earned runs (.82 ERA), 11 total hits over 22 innings of work (.68 WHIP), and an opponents on base percentages of .190.

Samardzija gets the ball today in Chicago against the White Sox and the Giants are available at -160.

Slumping: Daniel Gossett, Oakland Athletics (3-8, 5.32 ERA,$-426 )

Not a lot of positives to take away from Daniel Gossett’s rookie season in the big leagues, but he’s been especially bad over his last three starts. In his last trips to the rubber (all Athletics’ losses) he owns a 5.87 ERA, a 2.09 WHIP, and an opponent’s on base percentage of .432.

Things don’t get any easier today when the Houston Astros and the highest scoring offence in the Majors come to town. Where the Astros have won 10 of the last 11 meetings.

Gossett and the Athletics are +157 home pups today in Game One of a doubleheader.

Saturday's Top Trends

* Yankees are 9-2 in Luis Severino’s last 11 starts. Yankees -164 @ Rangers.

* Astros are 10-1 in the last 11 meetings in Oakland. Astros -171 @ Athletics.

* Tigers are 0-9 in their last 9 games following a win. Tigers +143 @ Blue Jays.

* Reds are 1-10 in the last 11 meetings in New York. Reds -107 @ Mets.

* White Sox are 1-10 in their last 11 vs. National League West. White Sox +138 vs Giants.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

Weather is a primary talking point in the sports world with Hurricane Irma making its way to the Florida coast.

As for baseball today it looks to be clear skies across Majors and no rain or delays in the forecast.

There is a pitcher’s wind in the forecast for Progressive Field in Cleveland for this evening’s game between the Indians and Orioles. The wind is expected to be blowing in from right at 12-13 miles per hour and the total is currently set at 9.5.

There is a 12 mile per hour pitchers wind expected to be blowing in from left field at Citi Field in Queens where the Mets are hosting the Reds. The total is currently sitting at 9.

Our regular check at Wrigley Field in Chicago shows a 12 mile per hour wind blowing in from right field for today’s battle between the Cubs and Brewers. The total is at 8.

Ump Of The Day

There hasn’t been much of a home field advantage when Will Little has been behind the plate this season. The home team has only won 10 of his 23 games behind home plate and are currently on a 0-6 streak. He ranks 80th out of 92 on Covers Umpire Homer Chart.

If you bet blindly on the home team in these games you would be sitting on a loss of $696.

The Phillies are +157 road chalk today in Washington.
