**********************


Saturday’s List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind…….

13) Utah Jazz led Oklahoma City by 25 in Game 5 of their series before the Thunder came back and won Game 5 of their series.

A guy in Las Vegas had $4,000 on the Thunder (-2.5); he tossed the ticket in the trash when Utah got up by 25, and he had to do some mad scrambling thru the garbage to get the ticket back after OKC stormed back for the win/cover.

Luckily for him, a) the trash hadn’t been emptied and b) he found the ticket.

12) In the 6th inning Wednesday nite, Tampa Bay Rays put a lefty reliever named Jonny Venters in to face lefty slugger Chris Davis. No big deal; that stuff happens over and over all throughout baseball. Lefty vs lefty. One batter. Venters retired Davis on four pitches.

But this was different; Venters hadn’t appeared in a major league game in six years, or 2,008 games; he was 15-10, 2.25 in 230 games for the Braves from 2010-12.

Since then, Venters has had three Tommy John surgeries on his left elbow; the hours and hours of rehab he went through—- there had to be times he thought Wednesday night would never come, but now he is back in the major leagues. Good for him.

11) Carolina Panthers took WR DJ Moore with the 24th pick Thursday night; the kid had 8 QB’s in his three years playing WR at Maryland. Eight QB’s in three years is an awful lot.

Norv Turner is the Panthers’ new OC; Cam Newton will be a fascinating follow this season.

10) Eagles got an extra 2nd round pick in 2019 for dropping down 20 spots in this draft so the Ravens could take Lamar Jackson.

9) Cal-Riverside has a new basketball coach (David Patrick); one of the Highlanders’ new assistant coaches is Mike Magpayo, who at one time was the CEO of a multimillion dollar real estate firm in SoCal.

8) Seattle’s Jean Segura has come to bat with a man on 3rd base 10 times this season; he knocked that runner in all 10 times.

7) Players who have come to bat with most men on base this season (thru Thursday):
Khris Davis 94, Didi Gregorius 86, Giancarlo Stanton 85, Marcell Ozuna 84

6) Players who have driven in the highest %age of baserunners this season (min 50 PA):
Brad Miller 33.3%, David Peralta 32.4%, Preston Tucker 28.3%, Nick Ahmed, 27.8%

5) Portland Trailblazers had an excellent season, going 49-33, but now they’ve lost their last 10 playoff games so you hope it doesn’t cost coach Terry Stotts his job.

4) Dodgers/Kershaw were -$380 to beat the Marlins Wednesday night; they lost. Long time ago, I read something that said laying anything more than $-150 in baseball is a bad idea. Whether that is still true or not I’m not sure, but laying more than -$200 isn’t wise.

3) Miami Dolphins drafted TE Mike Gesicki in the 2nd round; for some reason. NFL Network showed highlights of Gesicki playing high school basketball— he scored over 1,800 points in HS, which is nice, but its a football draft.

2) It is April 28 and national baseball writers are already speculating on where stars on struggling teams or small market teams will be traded to. As an A’s fan, few things make my blood boil as quickly as this, like Oakland, Tampa Bay and the Orioles are bleepin’ farm clubs for the %$#@& rich teams.

1) Umpire Will Little worked home plate in April 21’s Toronto-New York game, the 8th time in last four years Little has done the plate in a Bronx Bomber game. Here is how those games went:

2015
Bronx W5-2 @ Baltimore +$123 U9

Bronx W3-1 @ Seattle -$115 U7

2016
Bronx W6-3 vs Tampa Bay +$103 O8
Bronx W7-3 vs Kansas City -$130 O8

2017
Bronx W3-2 vs St Louis +$123, U8

Bronx W3-2 vs Oakland -$145, U9.5
Bronx W7-4 @ Baltimore +$121, O9.5

2018
Bronx W9-1 vs Toronto -$148, O9

8-0, outscoring opponents 43-18, and they were an underdog four times. Not going to say another bleeping word except this: if you were a big league manager, would you want Will Little umping the plate in a game against the Bronx Bombers?

Ninth and On

There is nothing worse for a bettor of baseball than looking like you're going to win for the entire game and then some reliever comes in and craps the bed in the ninth inning (or later) to ruin what would have been a winning ticket. You're just left shaking your head muttering, "I was on the right side the whole time. (expletive - insert pitcher's name)."

Below are the teams in the Top 5 and Bottom 5 in bullpen ERA in the ninth inning and beyond. There might only be eight miles of urban sprawl separating Guaranteed Rate Field and Wrigley Field, but the two are separated by light years in terms of record and bullpen ERA. The Cubs, the Blue Jays, the Diamondbacks, the Phillies and the Yankees have made bettors feel very comfortable in the later innings, as their bullpens were carefully crafted in spring training and have been on point for the first month of the season. If you see a guy at the sportsbook covering his eyes in the ninth inning, he likely has a ticket with the Padres and Reds. They have been brutal so far this season, killing side bettors and total bettors alike with their terrible ninth-inning showings. As such, it's no surprise both teams reside in the basement of their respective divisions.

Disastrous Double Dip

The White Sox and Royals will be battling to get out of the American League Central Division cellar when the two square off at Kauffman Stadium on Saturday. Both sides have been god awful so far this season. We expected that from the White Sox, but the stumbling out of the chute by the Royals is rather surprising.

The White Sox are an impressive 4-0 in their past four opening games of a doubleheader, so they have that going for them Saturday. However, they entered play Friday 5-16 over their past 21 games, 23-52 in their past 75 on the road and 3-14 in their past 17 on grass. The Royals are also a solid 8-3 in their past 11 opening games of a double dip. However, their pitchers have been disastrous, going 7-20 over the past 27 games overall. They're 4-9 in the past 13 games inside the division, too, while going an astounding 1-11 across their past 12 games at home.

Looking Ahead

Saturday, April 28

The wind will be blowing hard at the Green Monster at Fenway Park, gusting 10-14 mph straight to left field. Entering play on Friday, the over was 7-2 in the past nine meetings at Fenway Park, and the over has been hitting frequently for both sides lately. The over is 6-1 in Tampa's past seven on the road, and 13-3 in their past 16 overall. The over is also 5-0 in their past five against winning teams. For the Red Sox, the over is 6-1-1 in their past eight at home, and 7-3-1 in their past 11 inside the division. The over is also 6-1-1 in Boston's past eight at home against a right-handed starting pitcher, while going 10-3-1 in their past 14 overall vs. RHP. David Price will get a crack at his former team, and the Red Sox are 4-1 in his past five outings against the Rays, too.

At AT&T Park in San Francisco, the bitter rival Dodgers and Giants hook up for a doubleheader. It will be cool alongside the bay, with temperatures in the upper 50's, but it will feel even chillier with a steady wind from 15-18 mph blowing straight out to center field. While that's bad news for Walker Buehler and Chris Stratton in the opener, it might be good news for 'over' bettors. Game 2 features Alex Wood and Johnny Cueto. The 'over' is 4-1 in the past five second games of a doubleheader for the Dodgers, and 20-7 in Wood's past 27 against losing teams. The over is also 5-0 in his past five road outings against a team with a losing record. Rest hasn't done Cueto a lot of good, as the over is 5-0 in his past five on five days of rest, while going 9-4 in his past 13 overall. Los Angeles has won just 10 times in their past 32 trips to San Francisco heading into Friday's affair.

A pair of left-handed pitchers will be throwing in San Diego, as LHP Jason Vargas meets rookie LHP Joey Lucchesi. The Mets will see a couple of southpaws to open the season, working against LHP Clayton Richard in the opener on Friday, too. New York enters the series 4-0 in their past four on the road against left-handed starters, and 6-1 in their past seven overall vs. LHP. However, they're also just 19-39 in their past 58 against NL West teams. For the Padres, they haven't had a lot of luck with pitching, and we highlighted their late bullpen struggles above. They're 0-4 in their past four tries vs. LHP, and just 4-11 over the past 15 games overall. They're also a dismal 2-9 in the past 11 against teams with a winning percentage over .600.

Weather Report

The will be blowing in hard for Saturday's matinee action between the Brewers and Cubs on the north side, first pitch at 1:20 p.m. CT. There is a zero percent of precipitation for the game, but the baseball game will be impacted by winds from 17-21 mph howling out of the north, or in from left field to first base. That will knock down any potential home runs balls, making it very difficult to muscle the ball out of the park.

Winds will also be a factor at Nationals Park, blowing left to right at 10-15 mph. Left-handed hitters could have a field day for the Diamondbacks, as they face RHP Jeremy Hellickson (0-0, 4.50 ERA). The Diamondbacks will counter with LHP Patrick Corbin, who enters the game 4-0 with a 1.89 ERA and 0.66 WHIP while striking out 48 batters over five starts (33 1/3 innings). Hitters are having no luck against him so far, going just 16-for-114 (.140), but left-handed hitters are even worse at just 3-for-26 (.115) with no extra-base hits, no RBI and nine strikeouts. That's why Arizona is installed as a road favorite, and the wind should aid their batters against the journeyman Hellickson.

The winds will be whipping off of Lake Erie, too, as the Mariners and Indians can expect winds from 10-14 mph blowing in steadily from left field to home plate. In Philadelphia, Citizens Bank Park is a bandbox and batters do not need extra assistance snapping the ball out of the park. They'll get a nice jetstream heading out to right field, though. This came could also be impacted by rains in the later innings. In Pittsburgh, wind will be blowing out to the right-center field power alley at a 10-13 mph clip.

Sunday, April 29

The Royals will use RHP Ian Kennedy trying to win a game against the equally disappointing White Sox. If Kennedy is to have success he'll need to shut down 1B Jose Abreu. The first baseman is 9-for-21 (.429) with three homers and a 1.312 OPS in his career against the veteran. SS Tim Anderson doesn't have as much experience against Kennedy, but he is an impressive 5-for-16 (.313) with two doubles and three walks against him. OF Avisail Garcia is 5-for-18 (.278) with a homer in his brief dealings with the K.C. starter, too.

The Yankees and Angels will hook up in front of the national television audience on Sunday night, and a pair of left-handed pitchers will be doing battle. Veteran CC Sabathia has looked rejuvenated so far this season, as he is 1-0 with a 1.86 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP through four outings. He won in his most recent outing, and he hasn't allowed an earned run across 10 1/3 innings in his past two starts. That's the one knock on Sabathia to this point, as he hasn't been going very deep into games. Despite the outstanding surface numbers, he does have just one quality start to his credit in four outings. As such, expect to see plenty of the Yankees bullpen.

For the Halos, they counter with LHP Tyler Skaggs, who has been pretty decent at 3-1 with a 2.96 ERA and 1.21 WHIP while punching out 24 batters over 27 1/3 innings. All of his success has been on the road, however, where he is 3-0 with a 0.49 ERA in three starts. In front of the home folks he has been atrocious, going 0-1 with a 8.00 ERA in two outings totaling just nine innings, and the opponent is hitting a robust .325 off of him at the Big A. Those aren't the type of numbers you want to see with Didi Gregorius, Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez and Giancarlo Stanton getting ready to tee off.

Weather Report

There is a chance lingering showers could potentially delay the start of Sunday's Rays-Red Sox game, but the weather should cooperate. Winds will be blowing from 8-11 mph out to right-center field for a minor impact.

The winds will be a lot more ferocious in Baltimore, gusting 15-18 mph from left to right, helping out left-handed hitters with designs of bumping one off of the warehouse. Winds will again be blowing in at Progressive Field in Cleveland on Sunday afternoon, and this time at a 14-17 mph clip with chilly temperatures in the low 40's. In Kansas City, winds will blow right to left at 12-15 mph, impacting many right-handed power batters.

Wind will be a factor at several National League parks as well, with the winds blowing hard from 15-18 mph out to right field in Philadelphia and Washington on Sunday. In Pittsburgh, the winds will be 14-17 mph gusting to the power alley in right-center field again. That would make it a rough day for unproven starters Luke Weaver and Nick Kingham.

The winner for the wind award will again be AT&T Park in San Francisco. The Dodgers and Giants will be playing with extremely windy conditions, blowing out up to 22 mph to straight away center field in what could be a homer-fest, even with solid pitchers Kenta Maeda and Ty Blach on the bump.

West rivals Dodgers, Giants set to play two
April 28, 2018

SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Giants will take a bit of a worn-down bullpen into a rare double-header Saturday when they duel the Los Angeles Dodgers in the middle two games of a four-game series at AT&T Park.

Five Giants relievers combined for 5 2/3 shutout innings in Friday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers in the series opener.

No one reliever threw more than 27 pitches, but four of the five were used for at least 20 on the eve of a double-header that figures to require more than the usual workload for each team's relief staff.

"It could have been worse," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said after his team's fourth win in its last five games. "Sure, you'd like seven or eight innings (from starter Derek Holland) and have everyone fresh. But we just had a day off (Thursday), so all of (the relievers) should be available."

The double-header was necessitated by a rainout on April 6, the first such postponement in San Francisco in 12 years.

The onus will be on Game 1's two young starters, Walker Buehler of the Dodgers and Chris Stratton of the Giants, to ease the burden on the bullpen in case it's needed in the nightcap, which features a matchup of Dodgers left-hander Alex Wood against Giants righty Johnny Cueto.

Buehler (0-0, 0.00) made his major-league starting debut Monday against Miami, throwing five shutout innings in a 2-1 home win. He allowed four hits and three walks, striking out five.

The 23-year-old right-hander faced the Giants twice in relief as a rookie last season, allowing one run and four hits in two innings. He's 0-0 with a 4.50 ERA in his career against San Francisco.

Buehler, considered the Dodgers' best pitching prospect, was demoted to Class A Rancho Cucamonga after Monday's outing to open a roster spot. But he'll be recalled Saturday when Major League Baseball allows teams to add a 26th player to the active roster for a double-header.

While his teammates were impressed with Buehler's 99-mph fastball, the pitcher likewise was impressed with his defense Monday.

"They don't do that very much in low-A ball," he said of some spectacular defense that allowed his shutout to continue. "These guys are really good."

The Giants also will be welcoming back their starting pitcher when Stratton (2-1, 2.32) is activated off the paternity list following the birth of his child this week.

The 27-year-old has faced the Dodgers twice already this month, allowing three runs in 5 1/3 innings in Los Angeles in a 9-0 loss and giving up another three runs (two earned) in five innings in a 7-5 home win.

He's 1-2 with a 5.17 ERA in five career appearances, including four starts, against the Dodgers.

The Giants started off their third consecutive series against the Dodgers with an unusual win, one that featured more than just good bullpen work.

San Francisco overcame a two-run deficit with a four-run seventh, an inning that began with a Brandon Belt bunt for a hit, and featured a balk on Dodgers reliever Pedro Baez that allowed the go-ahead run to score.

Baez stumbled on the mound, never letting go of the ball, while attempting a pitch to Joe Panik with runners at second and third.

The nightcap Saturday features a matchup of pitchers who combined for 24 wins last season.

Wood (0-2, 3.72) has gone 2-2 with a 4.36 ERA in his career against San Francisco. He will be making his seventh start against the Giants and 11th appearance overall against them.

Cueto (2-0, 0.35) is 6-8 lifetime against the Dodgers with a 3.22 ERA in 18 starts.

Ohtani sprains ankle, day to day with next start on Tuesday
April 28, 2018

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Shohei Ohtani is day to day after mildly spraining his left ankle during the Los Angeles Angels' 4-3 loss to the New York Yankees on Friday night.

Ohtani homered on an inside fastball in the second inning but left after trying to beat out a groundball in the fifth. The two-way Japanese rookie was receiving treatment after the game and will be re-evaluated Saturday.

''When he stepped on the bag he rolled it a little bit,'' Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.

The injury happened as Ohtani awkwardly avoided a possible collision with Yankees first baseman Neil Walker. Ohtani hit a broken-bat groundout and partially ran into Walker around the bag. Twice as he was running back to the dugout, Ohtani put up his hand to apologize and make sure Walker was OK. Ohtani didn't show visible signs of an injury at that moment.

Ohtani's next scheduled start on the mound is next Tuesday.

Ohtani went deep on a 97 mph fastball from Luis Severino to give the Angels a 1-0 lead. It was his fourth home run of the season, all at home.

''He's good,'' Severino said. ''Next time, I'm not throwing inside (to him) anymore. He's a good hitter. I threw a good pitch. I have to tip my cap.''

LEADING OFF: Rays try for 9th win in row, Ohtani ailing
April 28, 2018

A look at what's happening all around the majors Sunday:

NINE IN LINE

The resurgent Rays try for their ninth straight win when Matt Andriese starts at Fenway Park. Tampa Bay has its longest success streak since taking nine in a row in July 2014. Rick Porcello (4-0, 1.93 ERA) pitches for Boston.

CHECK HIM

Japanese star Shohei Ohtani was out of the starting lineup for the Angels on Saturday night against the Yankees because of a sprained left ankle. The two-way player hurt himself trying to beat out a grounder on Friday night.

WE'LL SEE

The Dodgers will monitor right fielder Yasiel Puig, a day after he hurt his hip and foot when he ran into a wall chasing a foul ball. Puig left the game in San Francisco, and said his foot was the bigger concern. ... Nationals third baseman 3B Anthony Rendon (toe contusion) is eligible to come off the disabled list.

DECISION DAY

The Brewers must decide by Sunday whether to call up lefty Wade Miley. He signed a minor league deal with the Brewers and has been slowed by a groin problem. He struck out 11 for Double-A Biloxi this weekend.

STREAKING

The Diamondbacks are the first NL team since the 1907 Cubs to win their first nine series in a season. They'll go for a sweep in Washington when Robbie Ray (2-0, 5.13 ERA) pitches against Gio Gonzalez (2-2, 3.04). ... Odubel Herrera of the Phillies has reached base in a career-best 28 straight games. ... Kansas City's Jorge Soler has walked in nine straight games, the longest string in the majors this season.

Sunday’s 6-pack

— Chiefs drafted Kahlil McKenzie, whose dad is the Oakland Raiders’ GM. That will make two days of the year very awkward for Mrs McKenzie.

— Cubs, White Sox both pitched a shutout Saturday; first time they both hurled shutout on same day since August 29, 2011.

— Buffalo Bills drafted WR Austin Proehl, whose dad Ricky won a Super Bowl with the Rams.

— Celtics 112, Bucks 96— Home team won all seven games in this series.

— Boston College junior G Jerome Robinson will stay in NBA draft, bad news for the Eagles.

— When Jose Altuve originally signed with Houston, his bonus was $15,000. This year, he is making $55,555.55…….a game. It’ll be triple that starting in 2020.

Quotes of the Day
“People call you and they want the second pick of the draft for a bag of donuts, a hot pretzel and a hot dog. Leave me alone. I don’t have time to screw around.”
Giants’ GM Dave Gettleman

Sunday’s quiz
Before this week, Mets have played 14 series at Petco Park in San Diego. How many have they won?

Saturday’s quiz
Jason Witten played his college football at Tennessee.

Friday’s quiz
Paul Tagliabue was commissioner of the NFL before Roger Goodell.


************************


Sunday’s List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday…

13) The Interweb has so many NFL mock drafts in the months before this weekend, you should know this: Of the 100 draft picks Thursday/Friday, 51 of those picks were traded before the pick was eventually used to select a player.

Kind of hard to pinpoint who is going where when the picks get traded so much.

12) Remember the Tom Cruise movie Jerry Maguire, when Cruise played a sports agent? The actor who played the GM of Arizona Cardinals was singer Glenn Frey of the Eagles.

11) Alabama had 12 players taken in the this year’s draft; NC State/Ohio State were next, with 7 each. Seven players taken in one draft is an NC State record.

10) Alabama punter JK Scott was drafted by Green Bay; his agent is Alexa Stabler, daughter of the late Hall of Fame QB/Alabama alum Ken Stabler.

9) This from an NFL source about LSU RB Derrius Guice, who the Redskins drafted:

”He got into an altercation at a meeting with the Eagles. He had several meetings where he came across lazy only wants to play video games. We caught a direct dishonesty from him in our meeting.”

Guice disputes that story, but apparently lot of teams believed it; he dropped to the 59th pick.

8) White Sox 3B Matt Davidson has seven homers at Kauffman Stadium this season; thats the most by any visiting player EVER in one season at Kauffman Stadium, and it isn’t May yet.

7) Thunder vs Utah with Carmelo Anthony on-court: 194 minutes, -58

Thunder vs Utah with Carmelo Anthony off-court: 94 minutes, +32

Sometimes life is simple.

6) Arizona Diamondbacks won their first eight series this year, the first team since the 2001 Seattle Mariners to do that, and first NL team since the ’77 Dodgers.

5) Earl Anthony was one of the best bowlers of all-time; turns out the lefty with a crew cut was once offered a $35,000 bonus to pitch in the Orioles farm system, but he turned them down.

4) Utah Jazz PG Ricky Rubio strained his hamstring in the clinching win over Oklahoma City, and will be out 7-10 days, bad news for the Jazz as they take on the Houston Rockets.

3) As I’m writing this, a teenager in a t-shirt and gym shorts just read the Packers’ draft pick. Don’t be afraid to get dressed up, son. You’re on national TV.

2) Colts had four 2nd-round picks this year, first team since the ’09 Patriots to have four 2nd-round picks in the same draft.

1) Washington Nationals’ rookie manager Dave Martinez messed up Saturday; Arizona was going to send up PH Chris Owings in the top of the 10th inning in a 3-3 game, so Martinez went out and removed his lefty reliever so a righty could face Owings. One small problem…….

Martinez took the pitcher out before the pinch-hitter Owings was announced, so Arizona left the lefty batter Dyson in the game to face the righty reliever. A pitcher has to face one batter before he can be taken out; the pinch-hitter isn’t officially “in the game” until the PA announcer says his name over the PA system.

Owings walked and then the next batter walked and Arizona won 4-3. No bueno.
