Diamond Trends - Sunday
September 23, 2018
By Vince Akins

PLAY-ON TREND OF THE DAY:

-- The Dodgers are 25-0 SU since the start of the 2006 season in the last game of a series as a 200-plus favorite when they are off a win in which they never trailed.

PLAY-AGAINST TREND OF THE DAY:

-- The Orioles are 0-18 SU on the road after they used five-plus pitchers and it is post All-Star break.

HITTER-BASED TREND OF THE DAY:

-- The Athletics are 10-0 SU as a home favorite of more than 130 when they are off a home game in which Khris Davis was hitless.

STARTER-BASED TREND OF THE DAY:

-- The Rockies are 11-0 SU in franchise history with Kyle Freeland when they scored less than three runs and lost in his last start with Freeland allowing fewer than ten hits.

ACTIVE TRENDS:

-- The Rockies are 13-0 SU on the road after a game as a road dog in which they left 18+ men on base. Colorado was an average of plus 138 on the moneyline in these 13 wins and 10 of the 13 are from THIS season.

-- The Angels are 0-7 SU as a road dog after a game in which they had fewer team-left-on-base than their opponent. The final scores in their last three games in this spot were: 0-10, 3-21, 3-11.

Gregorius hurt; A's wait; Phils, Pirates, D-Backs out
September 23, 2018
By The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius has torn cartilage in his right wrist and is unsure whether he will be able to play in the AL wild-card game on Oct. 3.

Gregorius, who has 27 homers and 86 RBIs, got injured Saturday when he slid headfirst on Aaron Hicks' 11th-inning double to score the run that clinched a postseason berth for New York, which disclosed the injury after a 6-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.

New York remained 1+ games ahead of Oakland for the top AL wild card. Baltimore (45-110) is one loss shy of matching the franchise record for defeats set by the 1939 St. Louis Browns, who went 43-111.

Tim Beckham homered twice for the lowly Orioles, who trailed 3-0 early. Ryan Meisinger (2-0) pitched two perfect innings and Mychal Givens worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his ninth save. A.J. Cole (3-1) was the loser.

TWINS 5, ATHLETICS 1

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Oakland will have to take its bubbly on the road. Kyle Gibson (9-13) allowed one run over 7 1/3 innings and Jake Cave hit a two-run homer for Minnesota, which prevented the Athletics from clinching an AL wild-card berth in their last regular-season home game.

Oakland leads Tampa Bay by 7+ games and needs one win or a Rays loss to clinch its first playoff berth in four years.

Trevor Cahill (6-4) gave up five runs - three earned - and five hits in 3 1/3 innings.

RAYS 5, BLUE JAYS 2

TORONTO (AP) - Blake Snell (21-5) won his ninth straight start, striking out 11 in 6 2/3 shutout innings. He broke the Rays season record for wins set by David Price in 2012 and lowered his ERA to 1.90, the best in the AL.

C.J. Cron and Brandon Lowe homered for Tampa Bay, which remained 7+ games behind Oakland for the AL's second wild card and would be eliminated with one more loss or win by the Athletics.

Ryan Borucki (4-5) allowed two runs and three hits in seven innings.

CUBS 6, WHITE SOX 1

CHICAGO (AP) - Kyle Schwarber connected off Carlos Rodon (6-7) for his first homer against a left-hander this season and drove in two runs as the NL Central-leading Cubs stayed 2+ games ahead of second-place Milwaukee.

Ben Zobrist had three hits and Kyle Hendricks (13-11) gave up one run and four hits in 7 2/3 innings.

BREWERS 13, PIRATES 6

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Christian Yelich hit his 32nd home run and Travis Shaw added his 31st as Milwaukee remained two games ahead of St. Louis, which is second in the NL wild-card race. Yelich finished 2 for 3, including a three-run homer in the second off Nick Kingham (5-7), to boost his batting average to an NL-leading .322.

Corey Knebel (3-3) won in relief.

Pittsburgh was eliminated and failed to reach the postseason for the third straight year.

CARDINALS 9, GIANTS 2

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Miles Mikolas (17-4) won his fourth straight start, allowing two runs - one earned - and two hits in seven innings with eight strikeouts and no walks. John Brebbia and Giovanny Gallegos finished a five-hitter.

Matt Carpenter hit his NL-leading 36th homer and St. Louis remained 1+ games ahead of Colorado, which is third in the wild-card race,

Andrew Suarez (7-12) gave up two runs and six hits in five innings. The Giants finished 31-50 on the road for a two-year record of 57-105 away from home.

DODGERS 14, PADRES 0

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Hyun-Jin Ryu (6-3) allowed four hits and struck out eight in six scoreless innings and tied a career high with three of the Dodgers' 16 hits. Los Angeles maintained a 1+-games NL West lead over second-place Colorado.

Manny Machado and Matt Kemp hit solo homers, and Austin Barnes hit a two-run drive.

Rookie Joey Lucchesi (8-9) gave up a career-high seven runs on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings.

ROCKIES 2, DIAMONDBACKS 0

PHOENIX (AP) - Kyle Freeland (16-7) allowed seven hits in seven innings, improving to 7-0 in his last 10 starts.

Arizona lost for the seventh time in eight games and was eliminated from contention in the NL West and wild-card races. The Diamondbacks led the division entering the final month but are 5-16 in September.

Nolan Arenado hit an RBI double in the third and Gerardo Parra had a run-scoring single in the fifth against Zach Godley (14-11), who lost his fourth straight start.

Wade Davis got three straight outs for his NL-leading 41st save.

ASTROS 6, ANGELS 2

HOUSTON (AP) - Charlie Morton left after one inning and 24 pitches because of discomfort in his pitching shoulder that caused a drop in velocity. The 34-year-old right-hander did not pitch for the Astros from Aug. 28 until Sept. 8 because of right shoulder discomfort. He won his first two starts following his stint on the disabled list, allowing four runs in 11 innings.

AL West-leading Houston opened a 4+-game lead over second-place Oakland. Yuli Gurriel hit a two-run homer, giving him three homers and 10 RBIs in the three-game series.

Framber Valdez (4-1) followed Morton and struck out a career-high nine in six innings, allowing one run and three hits. Tyler Skaggs (8-9) gave up four runs and five hits in 2 1/3 innings.

BRAVES 2, PHILLIES 1

ATLANTA (AP) - Lane Adams homered and drove in two runs, and Anibal Sanchez (7-6) won for the first time in nine starts. Sanchez allowed one run and four hits in five innings, securing his role as Atlanta's No. 3 starter for the Division Series behind Mike Foltynewicz and Kevin Gausman.

Atlanta won its fifth straight, and Philadelphia was eliminated from postseason contention. The Braves mostly rested their regulars against ace Aaron Nola (16-6), who gave up two runs and four hits in six innings. The Phillies were swept in a four-game series in Atlanta for the first time since 1997.

Shane Carle pitched a shaky ninth for his first big league save.

RANGERS 6, MARINERS 1

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Adrian Beltre was given a standing ovation when he was removed from what could be his last home game for Texas, just before the Rangers rallied for four runs in the sixth to overcome a 1-0 deficit.

The 39-year-old, playing his 21st major league season, struck out twice and is hitting .275 with 14 homers and 61 RBIs. The four-time All-Star, the active hits leader with 3,162, isn't sure he wants to play next year.

Texas took a 4-1 lead in the sixth when Nomar Mazara chased starter Wade LeBlanc (8-5) with a two-run double, Robinson Chirinos hit an RBI single off Nick Vincent and Carlos Tocci had a sacrifice fly against James Pazos. Joey Gallo added his 39th homer, a two-run drive in the eighth against Ryan Cook.

Jeffrey Springs (1-1), the second of five Texas pitchers, allowed two hits in two scoreless innings.

MARLINS 6, REDS 0

MIAMI (AP) - A crowd of 13,595 left Miami with a franchise-low home attendance of 811,104 in Derek Jeter's first season as chief executive officer, the first major league team to draw fewer than 1 million fans at home since the 2004 Montreal Expos. The Marlins are last in the NL East at 62-93 overall, their eighth consecutive losing season, and have not reached the playoffs since beating the Yankees in the 2003 World Series.

Rookie Chad Wallach hit his first big league home run, a three-run drive in a four-run third off Michael Lorenzen (3-2), who allowed nine hits in four innings. Trevor Richards (4-9) gave up three hits in seven innings, struck out nine and walked one.

METS 8, NATIONALS 6

WASHINGTON (AP) - Michael Conforto hit a go-ahead, bases-loaded triple in the fourth off Wander Suero (3-1), and Jeff McNeil matched a career high with four hits in raising his average to .328 in 195 at-bats since his big league debut on July 24.

The first pitch was delayed 25 minutes, and rain continued during the game, which lasted 4 hours, 14 minutes.

Drew Gagnon (2-1) pitched two scoreless innings for the Mets, who took three of four from the Nationals in the teams' final series of the season. Anthony Swarzak got five outs for his fourth save.

ROYALS 3, TIGERS 2

DETROIT (AP) - Rookie Brad Keller (9-6) allowed one run and three hits in seven innings, abd Cam Gallagher broke a sixth-inning tie with a two-run single off Drew VerHagen (3-3). Wily Peralta struck out Jim Adduci to earn his 13th save.

LEADING OFF: Brewers-Cardinals, A's-M's highlight night
September 23, 2018
By The Associated Press

A look at what's happening around the majors on Monday:

WILD SHOWDOWN

Milwaukee leads the NL wild-card race by two games over St. Louis going into a three-game series at the Cardinals. St. Louis has a 1+-game lead for the second wild card over Colorado, which hosts Philadelphia.

Right-hander Jack Flaherty (8-8, 3.08 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Cardinals and right-hander Chase Anderson (9-8, 3.93 ERA) for the Brewers. Flaherty is 1-1 with a 2.35 ERA in four career starts against the Brewers.

St. Louis has won six of seven coming in and Milwaukee three of four.

SCOREBOARD WATCHERS

The Rockies could have a less-motivated opponent in four games at Coors Field. The Phillies were eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday, but at 78-77 hope to finish above .500 in manager Gabe Kapler's first season.

Phillies right-hander Zach Eflin (11-7, 4.09 ERA) will try to win his third straight start. Colorado opens its final homestand with left-hander Tyler Anderson (6-9, 4.76).

ON THE ROAD

After failing to clinch a wild card at home, Oakland plays at Seattle and gives right-hander Daniel Mengden (7-6, 4.00 ERA) his first start since June 23. Mengden is 1-0 with 1.83 ERA in five relief appearances since being called up from Triple-A Nashville on Aug. 27.

NOT QUITE DEAD YET

The Rays would be a tough opponent in a wild-card game. Fortunately for the rest of the AL playoff teams, they likely won't get there.

Tampa Bay is 16-5 in September and a major league-best 25-7 since Aug. 19. And the Rays could send Cy Young Award hopeful Blake Snell (21-5, 1.90 ERA) to the mound in the winner-take-all game. But Tampa Bay would have to win all seven games on its final homestand and Oakland would have to lose its remaining six games for the Rays to overtake the A's. The Rays host the Yankees and playoff-bound New York has plenty to play for, trying to stay ahead of Oakland and host the wild-card game.

HOME-FIELD DISADVANTAGE

The NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers (87-69) are one game behind the NL East champion Braves (88-68) heading into the season's final week, and whichever team finishes with a better record could end up getting home-field advantage in the NL Division Series. The question is whether either team would want it. Atlanta and Los Angeles have better records on the road than at home. The Braves finished their second season at SunTrust Park with a 43-38 record there and were 12th in the majors in average attendance. The Dodgers have great fan support, drawing nearly 47,000 a game, but went 44-37 at home, their worst record at Chavez Ravine since 2011.

**********

Armadillo: Monday's Den: Wrapping up an NFL Sunday……

Bills 27, Vikings 6— Three of first five times Buffalo had ball, they started drive in Viking territory; Bills had 22-yard edge in field position in winning Josh Allen’s first career road start- they led 27-0 at the half. Underdogs of 16+ points are now 6-75 SU in their last 81 games; this was biggest upset in NFL since Redskins Dallas on Dec. 3, 1995.

Minnesota ran ball only six times for 14 yards in this game; they turned ball over three times.

Lions 26, Patriots 10— Detroit outgained Patriots 414-209, but they also kicked four FGs while scoring only two TD’s, a red flag for their offense. New England should get Gordon/Edelman back at WR soon; they need ‘em- Patriots averaged only 4.3 yards/pass attempt. Big night for former Patriot assistant coach Matt Patricia- his first win as an NFL head coach.

Saints 43, Falcons 37 OT— Last four times New Orleans had ball, they ran 38 plays 247 yards, four TD’s; they had only one TD on their first eight drives. Game turned when Saints blocked a punt when trailing 21-16- they scored on a 16-yard drive after that, only one of ten TD drives in this game that was shorter than 75 yards. Atlanta gained 9.4 yards/pass attempt, but their defense fell apart down the stretch.

Chiefs 38, 49ers 27— Overshadowing this game is Garoppolo blowing out his knee, a disaster for San Francisco. Chiefs’ offense was perfect in first half; five drives, 41 plays, 295 yards, five TD’s and a 35-10 lead. KC now has 15 TD’s, only two FGA’s this year. Home side has now won last ten games in this series. CJ Beathard takes over at QB; would the Niners take a look at bringing back Colin Kaepernick?

Rams 35, Chargers 23— Rams lost both starting CB’s during this game; they play Minnesota on Thursday, which could be dicey. In this game, Rams blocked punt for a TD, only TD scored all week in NFL by defense/special teams. Teams combined to convert 15-24 on third down in this game; Rams had three TD drives of 75+ yards- they didn’t have one longer than 59 yards in first two games.

Dolphins 28, Raiders 20— Oakland is 0-3 despite leading all three games at halftime; they’ve been outscored 64-17 in second half this season. Miami averaged 13.3 yards/pass attempt, including a 52-yard TD on a trick play that gave Miami the lead for good with 7:18 left. Fish are now +4 in turnovers- over is 12-4 in their last sixteen home games.

Eagles 20, Colts 16— Wentz was 25-37/227 passing in his 2018 debut; Eagles outgained Colts 379-209 for game, overcoming -2 turnover ratio. Indy is obviously much-improved with Luck back at QB; they scored only 16 points on five red zone drives, though and were 2-12 on third down, after going 20-33 in first two games. Philly had a TD drive that lasted over 11:00.

Panthers 31, Bengals 21— Teams with -4 turnover ratios rarely win; Dalton threw four picks, allowed 230 rushing yards (McCaffery had 28 carries for 184 yards, after catching 14 passes for 102 yards LW). Cincy had eight plays of 20+ yards; Carolina has allowed 15 such plays in their last two games. All three Bengal games this year went over the total.

Ravens 27, Broncos 14— More and more I hear that “….the first four games of NFL season are for evaluation”, since starters don’t play much in preseason these days. Home side is 3-0 vs spread in Raven games. Denver is now 1-10 in its last 11 road games; they’re 4-12 vs spread in last 16 games as road underdogs. Ravens scored first TD on 6-yard drive after a blocked punt;

Titans 9, Jaguars 6— First NFL game this season with no TD’s; there was only play of 20+ yards. Gabbert started at QB, got knocked goofy, Mariota threw for only 100 yards. Tennessee has now won five of last six games vs Jacksonville; first downs in this game were 15-12, Titans. Rams had 14 first downs in first quarter alone Sunday.

Redskins 31, Packers 17– In first half, Redskins had ball six times; they ran 33 plays for 323 yards scoring four TD’s- they led 28-10 at the half on a rainy day. Adrian Peterson had 19 carries for 120 yards. Thru three games, Green Bay has only 36 points on nine red zone drives. Over is now 14-3 in Green Bay’s last 17 road games.

Giants 27, Texans 22— Houston’s two running backs ran ball combined 14 times for 23 yards; Watson threw for 385 yards, but they’ve got no balance and now O’Brien is on the hot seat. Manning was 25-29/297 passing as Big Blue silences the back pages of the tabloids for a week. Bekcham had nine catches for 109 yards; his presence is opening up chances for other guys to catch passes.

Bears 16, Cardinals 14— Arizona put rookie QB Josh Rosen in for his NFL debut with 4:31 left and Cardinals down 16-14; I’ve never seen a coach put a young QB on the spot like that before. He threw INT’s on both his drives, though one was on 4th down so he had to force ball in.

Arizona led 14-0 in first quarter; after that, they ran 39 plays for 120 yards and zero points. Redbirds turned the ball over on all four of their second half possessions.

Seahawks 24, Cowboys 13— Seattle won its last ten home openers, and 15 of last 16; they were +3 in turnovers here. In three games, Cowboys have only four plays of 20+ yards; they’ve scored total of 21 points in losing both their road games, are 8-38 on third down. Under is 15-2-1 in Seahawks’ last 18 home openers. Under is 18-7 in Cowboys’ last 25 road games.
