Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

— Phillies 4, Dodgers 3— Aaron Altherr hit a grand slam, the first one Clayton Kershaw allowed in the big leagues.

— A’s 8, Tigers 3— Matt Olson homered for the 4th consecutive game; he has 14 HR’s in his last 20 games. Oakland is 9-3 in its last 12 games.

— Marlins 13, Mets 1— Giancarlo Stanton hit his 55th home run; he has 117 RBI, Marcell Ozuna has 113— will they both be Marlins next year?

— Chargers are sticking with kicker Younghoe Koo, who missed clutch FG’s at the end of the Bolts’ first two games the last two weeks.

— Red Sox 10, Orioles 8— Wild game at Camden Yards.

— If the baseball playoffs started today (they do not):
AL: Boston-Cleveland-Houston. Wild Cards: New York/Minnesota
NL: Washington-Chicago-Los Angeles. Wild Cards: Arizona/Colorado

**********

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

13) Lions 24, Giants 10— Detroit broke game open with an 88-yard punt return for a TD; they’re 2-0 while Giants are 0-2, having scored only one TD on 18 drives so far this season.

One thing thats going to be an issue in Detroit, if they have a good season this year; Jim Caldwell doesn’t have a contract past this season. Think about Tampa Bay/Lovie Smith, when he got fired because Bucs’ brass liked the job OC Dirk Koetter was doing with franchise QB Jameis Winston- they didn’t want Koetter leaving, so they made him head coach.

Same thing could happen in Detroit if OC Jim Bob Cooter becomes a hot name on the coaching carousel; if the Lions want Cooter/Matthew Stafford to stay connected, they may have to make Cooter the head coach to keep him in the Motor City. Stay tuned.

12) Obscure Lions’ trivia: Cooter was Peyton Manning’s backup QB at Tennessee.

11) Matthew Stafford is now 53-58 as an NFL starting QB, plus 0-3 in playoff games. Detroit was 0-16 the year before they drafted him.

Jon Gruden called him “a great quarterback” last night. I’m not disputing that at all, just repeating his words. Stafford has attempted more passes per game than anyone in NFL history— I wouldn’t have guessed that.

10) Archie Manning (Peyton/Eli’s dad) was a great college football player at Ole Miss; he was just like Steve Young, except he threw righty instead of lefty. Otherwise, the same; great mobility, solid passer, but in the NFL, Archie Manning played 11 years for the then-putrid New Orleans Saints. No bueno.

There was was no free agency back then; Manning got pummeled playing on a horrible team; his record was 35-91-3 as a starter for New Orleans, which is probably why Archie orchestrated Eli’s trade from San Diego to the Giants after the 2003 draft.

9) My point is this: football is a TEAM game; no one player makes a team great. I’m reading lot of media nitwits who follow the “narrative flowchart”:

— Team A won: Team A’s quarterback is on the upswing.
— Team A lost: Team A’s quarterback was a lousy draft pick, or is over-the-hill.

It is just lazy commentary; developing players is a process, it takes years to become a great player. Matthew Stafford is under .500 in his career, but Jon Gruden says he is a great QB, and that’s good enough for me.

8) Arizona Wildcats have a 26-year old freshman QB named Donovan Tate who was drafted 22 spots above Mike Trout in the 2009 baseball draft- he was the third player taken.

San Diego Padres gave Tate a $5M+ signing bonus in ‘09, then watched his struggle with injuries and off-field problems ruin his baseball career. Now Tate is trying football and is a backup QB now— he is the son of former Georgia running back Lars Tate.

7) Atlanta Braves are moving their spring training HQ from Kisssimmee to Sarasota; they’re having groundbreaking on the new facility in October.

6) Everyone was a kid once: ESPN’s Jon Gruden hit a home run in Little League off of John Parry, the referee in the Lions-Giants game last night.

5) At one point in his career, Andy Reid was the offensive line coach at UTEP. He’s come a very long way since then. Offensive line coach at UTEP is not usually a stepping stone to the NFL.

4) Record for most total home runs in a season is 5,693, which figures to fall late this week.

3) Weird stat: the NFL quarterback with the most wins in FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland, home of the Browns, is Ben Roethlisberger, with 11. He obviously plays for the Steelers, which is bad for the Browns.

2) No baseball team has ever made the playoffs after losing more than 97 games the previous season. Minnesota lost 103 games last season and right now, they hold one of the AL Wild Card spots, so they could make some history soon

1) Had a great weekend in Philadelphia the past few days; very underrated city. Saw the A’s play three games, had some cheesesteaks, visited with friends. Good stuff, very much appreciated.

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

Double-Play Picks

Minnesota Twins at New York Yankees (-160, 8.5)

The Yankees and Twins continue their three-game set in the Bronx in what could be a preview of the American League Wildcard game after New York edged Minnesota 2-1 in the opener on Monday night. In Game 2 it’s old vs. new as veteran workhorse CC Sabathia gets the call for the Yankees, while Jose Berrios takes the ball for the Twins.

At 83-67 the Yankees currently hold the top spot in the AL Wildcard chase, but they are in a different class than all the other Wildcard contenders with a run differential of +175. The next closest team is the Rangers at +18.

New York also still has an outside shot at the AL East as well, sitting just three games behind the Red Sox. They hand the ball to Sabathia in hopes of inching closer to Boston and to stay hot at home. New York has won six of its last seven at Yankee Stadium outscoring opponents by 4.3 runs per game in that stretch.

It’s been a solid year for Sabathia, who has figured out how to pitch as an old guy. The veteran southpaw is 11-5 with a 3.85 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. Plus, in his last two starts at home he allowed just two earned runs, while scattering nine hits over 13 innings.

Meanwhile, it been a rough run of road starts for the Twins’ young Berrios. Minnesota has lost his last nine starts away from Target Field. In those nine starts he is 0-6 with a 6.45 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP while giving up eight home runs. The Yankees have hit the second most home runs at home in baseball this season.

Pick: Yankees -160

Cleveland Indians at Los Angeles Angels (-115, 8.5)

The Indians and Angels open a three-game series in Anaheim on Tuesday night with the Tribe still riding one of the greatest runs of success in recent baseball history.

Fresh off their historic 22-game winning streak (the longest in history because ties don't extend winning streaks), Cleveland continues to tally in the win column and has now won 24 of their last 25 games overall.

The Indians will run right-hander Mike Clevinger out to the mound tonight, and he has sneakily been the hottest starting pitch in baseball over the last month. Cleveland has won his last five starts, and in his last four outings he has only allowed one run (0.38 ERA) and owns a WHIP of 1.014. Clevinger has also been better on the road than at home this season with a 6-3 win/loss record to go along with a 2.56 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP.

Angels' lefty Tyler Skaggs is coming off his best outing of the season - seven innings of three-hit shutout pitching against the Astros - but he's been just average all season with a team win/loss of 6-7, an ERA of 4.37, and a WHIP of 1.34. His ERA at home this season is even higher than his overall number at 4.86.

In two career starts against the Indians, Skaggs owns an ERA of 7.50 and a WHIP of 1.333.

Knowing how good Clevinger has been pitching, it shocked us a little bit that the Indians were slight underdogs for tonight's game. You give us an underdog moneyline on a team that has won 24 of their last 25 games and we'll take it every time.

Pick: Indians -105

Yesterday's Picks: 2-0 (thank you Matt Harvey)
Season To Date: 147-137-15

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Lucas Giolito, Chicago White Sox (2-2, 2.56 ERA, $157)

It's been a while since we've had a member of the White Sox's starting rotation appear in the Streaking section of this daily article - Derek Holland may have made an appearance early in the season.

Lucas Giolito's appearance today may be slightly by default since we used Mike Clevinger in the picks section above, but he has been very good. Over his last four appearances he has a team win/loss of 3-1, an ERA of 1.75, and a WHIP of 0.935. If the young righty can get the walks under control he could have the type of stuff to anchor this rotation for many years to come.

Giolito and the Sox are big road underdogs at +200 tonight against Collin McHugh and the Astros.

Slumping: Chad Bell, Detroit Tigers (0-3, 6.42 ERA, $-316)

Left-hander Chad Bell has worked out of the bullpen for most of the season for Detroit, and we're thinking the Tigers should have continued to hide him in a low-leverage relief role.

In three starts since moving into the rotation Bell owns a team win/loss of 0-3, an ERA of 9.75, a WHIP of 2.333, and an opponent's on base percentage of .468. Yuck.

Bell and the Tigers are slight home dogs tonight against Daniel Gossett and the visting A's.

Tuesday's Top Trends

* The Pittsburgh Pirates are 1-11 in their last 12 vs. National League Central. +115 today vs. Brewers.
* The Minnesota Twins are 0-9 in Berrios' last nine road starts. +140 today @ Yankees.
* The Oakland Athletics are 12-50 in their last 62 road games vs. a left-handed starter. -123 today @ Tigers (C. Bell).
* The Cleveland Indians have won 24 of their last 25 games overall. -105 today @ Angels.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

There is a chance of thunderstorms in the area around Great American Ball Park this evening where the Reds are scheduled to host the Cardinals.

There is a very stiff wind blowing straight in from center field (17-18 miles per hour) in the forecast tonight at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia where the Philles will take on the Dodgers. The total is currently set at 8.

There will also be an 18-20 mile per hour wind blowing in from left field tonight at Yankee Stadium where the Yanks will host the Twins in a potential American League Wildcard preview. The total is currently 8.5.

Ump Of The Day

Ryan Blakney will be calling balls and strikes this evening in Detroit for the game between the Tigers and the visiting A's. Blakney is baseball's No. 2 Under umpire this season at 17-7 (70.8 percent) and the Under is 35-16-4 (68.6 percent) in his last 55 games behind home plate dating back to last season.

The total for today's game between the Tigers and the A's is set at 10.5.
