Top six weekly picks for season: 0-6

**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a college football Saturday

13) USC 27, Texas 24 (OT)— Longhorns kicked FG to go ahead 17-14 with 0:45 left but Sam Darnold drove the Trojans 52 yards in nine plays for the tying FG at the gun to force OT. This was USC’s first OT win since 2001. Total yardage was 468-366, Trojans.

LA Coliseum workers had only 13 hours to change the field from USC colors to LA Ram colors for the Rams-Redskins game in the Coliseum Sunday.

12) Florida 26, Tennessee 20— Butch Jones is just an awful game coach; watch the replay of Florida’s 63-yard walk-off TD pass that stunned Tennessee— how in the name of Johnny Majors do the Vols not have any safeties deep to prevent WR’s from getting behind the secondary? There is a proper time to play a prevent defense!!!

I repeat; Florida threw a 63-yard bomb to a WR who was single-covered on the last play of the game; where the bleep were their safeties? The only other Florida receiver in the picture was also single-covered— there is more to coaching than recruiting good players. On game day, you need to steer them to victory— Tennessee’s coaches let their players down here.

Tennessee also missed three FG’s in this game; go recruit a kicker.

11) Memphis 48, UCLA 45— Up 3 points with 3:01 left, Memphis eschewed a 33-yard FG and tried a fake, which backfired miserably. That told me this: Memphis had zero faith that its defense would protect a 51-45 lead with 2:55 left, but that defense protected a 48-45 lead and Memphis get itself a marquee win.

Why Memphis’ coaches had little faith in their defense; UCLA’s Josh Rosen was 34-56 for 463 yards, with four TD’s and two INT’s.

10) Vanderbilt 14, Kansas State 7—This was the first time ever (81 years of the AP poll) that both Memphis and Vanderbilt beat ranked opponents on the same day. Wow.

9) San Diego State 20, Stanford 17— How ironic was it that on the night before the Chargers’ first home game in Los Angeles since 1960, the lights went out at San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium in the last 5:00 of a 17-13 game? Aztecs drove for the winning TD as soon as the lights came back on.

San Diego State is 3-0, with consecutive wins over Pac-12 teams. Good for them.

8) Clemson 47, Louisville 21— This was a beatdown; Tigers led 33-7 after three quarters. Dabo Sweeney has built a powerhouse program at Clemson— right now, they’re the best team in the country, even with a new quarterback.

7) Oklahoma State 59, Pittsburgh 21— Cowboys led 49-14 at HALFTIME. On the road. OSU scored the first seven times they had the football. Mason Rudolph threw for 1,037 yards in two games against Pitt, last year and this year.

6) Texas Tech 52, Arizona State 45— Game was delayed an hour by lightning, then Red Raiders jumped out to a 21-3 lead, 35-17 at the half. Arizona State stormed back to tie game; Tech got the game-winning TD with 1:55 left.

ASU beat the Red Raiders 68-55 last year, so sweet revenge for Kliff Kingsbury.

5) Northern Illinois 21, Nebraska 17— Huskies led 14-0 at the half, scoring two defensive TD’s, then held on for dear life. The natives are officially restless in Lincoln after this loss.

4) Kentucky 23, South Carolina 13— Upset in the SEC; Wildcats are 3-0. Good for Mark Stoops.

3) California 27, Ole Miss 16— Golden Bears are 3-0, despite trailing all three games in the second half. Cal has a win over an ACC team (UNC) and now an SEC team.

2) Purdue 35, Missouri 3— Mizzou has a horrendous defense. Boilers outgained the Tigers 477-203. Mizzou allowed 109 points in its first three games, and one of those was against a I-AA team- they lost 31-13/35-3 to I-A opponents.

1) Mississippi State 37, LSU 7— If you read this space regularly, you know that I’m a big fan of former LSU coach Les Miles. Anyone who thinks that firing Miles and hiring Ed Orgeron was a good idea is clueless. Orgeron is 7-25 as a head coach in SEC conference games., most of which happened when Coach O was the head coach at Ole Miss.

Seven and twenty-five!!!!

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

Double-Play Picks

Los Angeles Dodgers at Washington Nationals (-150, 8)

The Dodgers and Nationals meet Sunday night for the final game of their three-game weekend series. The Dodgers have taken the first two games of this potential NLCS preview and seem to have their heads screwed on a bit straighter, winning four in a row after dropping 16 of 17 games.

The Nationals are coasting with a 20-game lead in the National League East. Despite losing four of their last five games, the bright lights of Sunday Night Baseball with your ace starter on the mound will snap any team back into playoff mode.

Nobody in baseball is throwing better than Stephen Strasburg right now, and that includes you Corey Kluber. Strasburg is currently in the midst of a 34-inning scoreless streak and over his last seven starts he owns an ERA of 0.61 and a WHIP of 0.773.

When we saw Strasburg at -145 this morning (since up to -150 and likely headed higher) we almost jumped out of our shorts to get our pick locked in.

Lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu will get the start for the Dodgers. Despite having a decent season, Ryu is the weakest link in a very good Dodgers starting rotation. His team win/loss record is only 11-10 overall and on the road the Dodgers have only won four of his 11 starts. For a team that should easily surpass 100 wins on the season, being only 4-7 in your road starts certainly says something about your performance.

The good news for Ryu is that the Nationals' bats have been in a bit of a funk and are averaging only 2.2 runs per game over their last five. The Under has cashed in five of their last six contests and Under is a remarkable 20-3-3 in their last 26 games vs. National League West opponents.

Back to Strasburg, where three of his last four starts against the Dodgers have cashed Under tickets and six of his last seven starts overall have finished below the total.

Put it all into a blender - Strasburg is awesome, Nats' bats are struggling, Ryu has been OK but not great, and a Sunday Night Baseball playoff atmosphere. This feels like a 3-2 or 4-2 win for the Nationals.

Pick 1: Nationals -150

Pick 2: Under 8

Yesterday's Picks: 1-1
Season To Date: 144-137-14

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Corey Kluber, Cleveland Indians (16-4, 2.44 ERA, $202)

The Indians clinched the AL Central crown last night and ace Corey Kluber is a big reason why. The Tribe has won 10 of his last 11 starts.

Over his last four starts, he has only allowed five earned runs (1.41 ERA), has a 0.6563 WHIP, struck out 35, and only walked two. That’s a pretty dominating 32 innings of work.

Kluber and the Indians are -230 home chalk today against the Royals.

Slumping: Ubaldo Jimenez, Baltimore Orioles (5-10, 6.75 ERA, $63)

Lots of competition for the slumping spot, but when in doubt look at who is starting for the Baltimore Orioles. Today Ubaldo Jimenez steps on the rubber and he is a worthy addition to the ‘slumping’ list.

Jimenez’s last three trips to the mound have been awful. He is 0-2 (1-2 team win/loss), but has a troubling 9.95 ERA, with a 1.97 WHIP, opponents on base percentage of .397, and given up four homers.

Jimenez and the Orioles are currently +160 road dogs at Yankee Stadium.

Sunday's Top Trends

* Orioles are 1-9 in their last 10 overall. +160 @ Yankees.

* Indians are 10-1 in their last 11 games vs. a left-handed starter. -230 vs. Royals.

* Pirates are 1-10 in Gerrit Cole’s last 11 starts vs. Reds. -106 @ Reds.

* Cardinals are 0-6 in Lance Lynn’s last 6 starts vs. Cubs. +147 @ Cubs.

* Diamondbacks are 11-1 in their last 12 road games. -149 @ Giants.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

Rain and thunderstorms are in the forecast today at Wrigley Field where the Cubs will host the Cardinals. There is a 33-42 percent chance of thunderstorms at first pitch. Things clear up later in the day and they should be able to get the game in.

There is also a chance of thunderstorms developing in Colorado for this afternoon's game between the Rockies and San Diego Padres. It’s looking like a 31-48 percent chance of rain at Coors Field. The weather improves as the day goes along but first pitch might get delayed.

The only wind in the forecast worth mentioning is a 10-14 mile per hour wind blowing out to left-center field at AT&T Park in San Francisco, where the Diamondbacks are in town. The total is currently sitting at 8.5.

Ump Of The Day

Tom Woodring will be calling balls and strikes today at Great American Ball Park where the Reds host the Pirates. In the 21 games he has been behind the plate the Over has cashed in 14 (66.7 percent), leaving him tied for fifth on the Covers Over/Under umpire chart for the season.

Another factor to consider is the total. Today’s total is currently sitting at 9 and the Over is 10-4 (71.4 percent) this season in games called by Woodring with a closing total of 9 or more.
