STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTING PITCHERS

Streaking: Rick Porcello, Boston Red Sox (11-3, 3.58 ERA, $643)

It might have come with a bit of luck – and a healthy amount of run support – but Porcello finds himself in the top-11 league-wide in starting pitcher value entering Friday's encounter with the visiting Toronto Blue Jays. The Red Sox have won each of his previous four starts, with Porcello having recorded quality starts in three of them.

That potent Boston offense puts the run-line option in play virtually every single game – and with Porcello pitching well at the moment, it's a strong choice at -105.

Slumping: Tanner Roark, Washington Nationals (3-11, 4.76 ERA, $-1,163)

It has been a truly dreadful season for Roark, who sits second-last in the majors in starting pitcher earnings and is in the midst of one of the worst stretches of his career. The 32-year-old has allowed four or more runs in four of his previous five starts, while the Nationals have dropped his past six outings overall – four as the favorite.

Roark and the Nationals are +120 against Noah Syndergaard and the host Mets – and given the one-sided nature of the pitching matchup, that number is generous. Stay far, far away from Roark in this one.

Friday MLB Best Bet

Toronto Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox

One team that probably doesn't want to see the All-Star break arrive is are the Boston Red Sox. Boston comes into action on Friday having won 10 in a row overall and created a bit of separation between themselves and the Yankees (3.5 games back) in the AL East standings.

The Red Sox were able to use one big inning last night (scored 5 in the 4th) against Toronto to take the series opener and push their winning streak to 10, but will it go to 11 after tonight?

Odds: Toronto (+173) vs Boston (-193); Total set at 9.5

Boston is a big favorite to get the job done as they are up against a young rookie making his 4th ever start at the MLB level in Ryan Borucki. Borucki has pitched quite well since getting called up with a 2.25 ERA through three starts, but he just hasn't really be on the right side of luck nor gotten help from his teammates. Toronto is 0-3 SU in Borucki's starts simply because they haven't scored for him. The Jays have averaged 1 measly run per game with Borucki on the hill and it's hard not to believe that that should change rather dramatically rather soon.

Eventually this Jays offense, which has scored 6, 5, and 4 runs in the three games since Borucki's last start, will start to give this young stud the support he needs and deserves. And with Borucki still being a relative unknown in the baseball and betting markets, his next few starts are probably ones where we can get quite a bit of value backing him and the Jays. But are you willing to step in front of this scorching hot Red Sox team to do it?

Personally I am willing to step in front of this Boston win streak tonight for multiple reasons. One, Borucki's success on the hill so far can't be understated as he's gone at least six innings in all three of his outings, an dis coming off back-to-back starts of 7 IP and one-run losses. Yes, this is only his second road start in his career which is mildly concerning, but the whole idea that Borucki may shrivel up against a quality opponent should be put to bed rather quickly. His three starts have come against the Astros, Tigers, and Yankees, so it's not like he's had a easy go of it so far to put up those great numbers.

Secondly, Boston starter Rick Porcello has basically been the polar opposite of Borucki in his last three starts as it's Porcello who has had plenty of offensive help from his teammates that have really been masking a lot of issues Porcello has been having. The former Cy Young winner could easily flip it around soon, but I would guess he may use the upcoming All-Star break to deal with mechanics rather than his final start before the time off. It's been that run support that's been saving him though – Boston has scored 6 or more runs in seven of his last 10 starts – and that is somewhat concerning for a Jays ML bet, but it's also strong support for an 'over' play tonight if you are more of a totals bettor.

Looking at the 'over' may be another way to attack this game from a betting perspective if you ask me, but as troublesome as that offensive production Boston has supported Porcello with may be for the Jays tonight, eventually that has to turn around the other way as well. That's not to say Boston's offense will completely dry up tonight, or even in Porcello's next start, but when you've got one pitcher who's been pitching very well and not getting support, up against another pitcher who's been getting hit pretty hard and consistently bailed out by his support, if you're a believer in regression to the mean ideas, then looking at the Jays, especially as these hefty underdogs only makes sense.

Streaks are made to be broken and Boston's 10-game overall win streak and their six-game win streak against Toronto specifically will hopefully both end tonight. The Jays are long overdue in giving Borucki his first MLB win, and Boston's overdue in terms of giving Porcello another loss with the way he's been pitching.

Finally, with the reverse line movement we've seen on this game since it opened in the +190 range for Toronto suggests that some big bettors are seeing similar things that I've outlined here regarding the current form of both Borucki and Porcello. Following that minor steam and backing the Jays tonight is what I believe will be a winner.

Best Bet: Toronto ML

MLB Betting – New York Yankees at Cleveland Indians

Two of the top teams in the American League meet on Friday night on MLB Network, as the New York Yankees visit the Cleveland Indians. The Yankees are battling Boston for the top spot in the AL East, while the Indians lead the AL Central.

The probable pitching matchup for Friday night has Domingo German going for New York, while Cleveland sends Shane Bieber. Let’s look at this contest and MLB picks.

New York Yankees at Cleveland Indians
Date and Time: Friday, July 13, 2018, 7:10 p.m. ET
Location: Progressive Field, Cleveland, OH
MLB Odds : Yankees -114, O/U 9 Over -115
Probable Pitchers: Domingo German vs. Shane Beiber
Yankees vs. Indians TV Coverage: MLB Network

The Yankees have been a very good road team this season, as they were 27-18 in their first 45 road games, with 17 games going over the total, 26 going under, with two pushes. They are scoring 5.2 runs per game and giving up 3.4 per contest.

The Indians have been solid at home as they were 29-17 in their first 46 home games, with 30 games going over the total, 14 going under, with two pushes. They are scoring 5.1 runs per game and giving up 4 runs per contest.

Starting Pitchers

German is 2-4 on the season with a 5.06 ERA. He was really good last time out, as he gave up just one run and four hits in six innings against the Blue Jays. German made his first career start against Cleveland earlier this season and pitched six scoreless innings and he had nine strikeouts.

Bieber is 4-1 with a 3.47 ERA. He has not been nearly as good in his last two starts, as he was earlier in the season, as he pitched six innings and allowed four runs against Kansas City and Oakland. Bieber is 2-1 with a 4.50 ERA in his last three starts.

Key Stats

The Yankees are 23-8 in their last 31 vs. the American League Central. The Yankees are 5-1 in German’s last 6 starts. The Indians are 62-27 in their last 89 home games. The Indians are 41-18 in their last 59 home games vs. a right-handed starter. The Indians are 5-1 in Bieber’s last 6 starts.

Looking at the total, the Under is 13-3-1 in the Yankees last 17 road games vs. a right-handed starter. The Under is 6-2 in German’s last 8 starts overall.
Cleveland. The Over is 21-5-2 in the Indians last 28 home games vs. a right-handed starter. The Over is 27-7-2 in the Indians last 36 home games. The Over is 10-4-3 in the last 17 meetings in Cleveland.

Yankees vs. Indians Picks

This is kind of an under the radar pitching matchup between German and Bieber. German is very capable of having a great start, and he has looked good recently. The problem with German is that he is sometimes all or nothing, so it is a little risky backing him on the road. The Indians have done well with Bieber on the mound, but Bieber has not looked that great in his last couple of starts, so that is worrisome. I will just avoid a side and look at the total.

Both the Yankees and Indians can score a lot of runs and I expect a high scoring game on Friday night. There are a number of key stats for this game that just scream over the total. The Indians have gone over the total at home against right-handed starters almost 80% of the time in their last 36 home games. I know that the Yankees have been going under on the road a lot, but I think that is a bit of an aberration. We do know that the Indians go over the total a lot at home and this series has been high scoring when the games are in Cleveland, with about 70% of the games going over in the last 17 meetings. I will go over the total in this Friday night contest.

Yankees vs. Indians Pick: Over the total
Yankees vs. Indians Score Prediction: Yankees 7, Indians 6

MLB Weekend Series Prices – Best Bets

After struggling with an 0-2 series record two weeks ago, last week's plays got back those losses and some as both the L.A Angels (+135) and Colorado Rockies (+160) were able to take their weekend series' over the Dodgers and Mariners respectively. Both of those series have “rematches” this weekend with the Angels at the Dodgers and Colorado now hosting Seattle, and I can't say I really like either of them to duplicate last weekend's results.

Yet, that isn't to say there aren't some great series prices out there this weekend that we can potentially capitalize on, so let's get right to this week's plays as I'm sticking with interleague matchups once again:

Oakland Athletics (+130) vs San Francisco Giants (-150)

The “Battle of the Bay Area” teams gets it's first rendition of 2018 as the surging Oakland Athletics head over to San Francisco to play the Giants. This is the end of a long and tough road trip for Oakland after having spots in Cleveland and Houston prior (two division leaders), but the A's did manage to take two of three from the Indians and three of four from the Astros, so it's not like the road has worn them down yet. That could be a minor concern come Sunday's finale with the Giants given the All-Star break is on tap, but this A's team has been cashing plus-money tickets all year long and I don't see it stopping this weekend.

Oakland is 12 games over the .500 mark overall this year and while it is a road series for them this weekend, I don't understand why they continue to be undervalued. The A's have a 29-20 SU record on the road this year so it's not like they can't perform well in hostile territory, and with how inconsistent the Giants have been of late (4-6 SU last 10), -150 chalk is giving this Giants team way too much respect.

Respect has to be earned and not given and I'm not sure what the Giants have done to earn this -150 price for the weekend. Yes, they've got Madison Bumgarner starting in the opener on Friday night, but we've already seen a significant line move in Oakland's favor for Game 1 (opened +155 and currently sits around +130), and the Giants are just 3-4 SU in Bumgarner's seven starts this year. After that it's the struggling Jeff Samardzija (6.42 ERA) and the up-and-down Andrew Suarez that get to tote the rubber first for San Francisco and I'm not sure you can trust either of them to put up a W.

Oakland is a team that made their push to get back into the playoff race at the right time, and while the All-Star break may cool off some of the A's momentum, I think they find a way to carry it on for at least a few more days and take at least two of three from the Giants.

Best Bet: Oakland A's to win the series (+130)

Seattle Mariners (+135) vs Colorado Rockies (-160)

I touched on the fact earlier that I was able to ride the Rockies to the winner's circle last week against Seattle and I believe they'd have a tough time duplicating those results this weekend. When I scrolled down and saw the line on this series, I was quite surprised as these series wagers continue to weigh home field much too heavily in my opinion as the Rockies went from +160 to -160 against the same opponent simply based on the results and the Rockies now being at home. I'm not falling for it though as the Mariners are too good of a team not to take at this +135 price with a bit of revenge on their minds.

Colorado has a losing 20-23 SU record at home this year and yet they are laying -160? Come on now, that just seems a little asinine as the Mariners are more than capable of splitting the season series at worst with two wins this weekend, and their 27-19 SU record on the road gives them little fear about losing the DH and playing in a NL park. It is Coors Field after all so it's not like runs won't be scored here. Seattle also can't afford to lose more ground to the Astros in the AL West pennant chase (3 games back), and with Houston hosting the Detroit Tigers this weekend, chances are the Astros win at least two of those games. So it's really up to Seattle to bow their necks and get a little payback on Colorado this weekend and it should come.

Best Bet: Seattle Mariners to win series (+135)

As far as the other series' are concerned this weekend, here's how I see them breaking down

*Number of games won in brackets

Philadelphia (2) vs Miami (1)
Arizona (2) vs Atlanta (1)
Cincinnati (1) vs St Louis (2)

Toronto Blue Jays at Boston Red Sox

The scorching hot Boston Red Sox go for their 11th straight win when they host the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday in the second of a four-game series. The Sox have been the best team in baseball nearly all season and they continue to win at an alarming rate. They’ve already set a MLB record for most wins before the All-Star Break and they are on pace to shatter the franchise record for victories.

The Sox have enjoyed beating up on the Jays this season, taking eight of the 10 meetings, including six in a row. They won the series opener using the same formula that’s led them to 66 wins and face rookie Ryan Borucki, who’s making his fourth career start, on Friday.

Toronto Blue Jays at Boston Red Sox
Date and Time: Friday, July 13, 2018, 7:10 p.m. ET
Location: Fenway Park, Boston, MA
MLB Odds: Toronto +160, Boston -190, O/U 9.5
Probable Pitchers: Ryan Borucki vs. Rick Porcello
Blue Jays at Red Sox TV Coverage: MLB Network

The Jays are hoping Friday the 13th actually brings them better luck against the Sox. They lost their sixth straight to Boston on Thursday, and they are just 3-7 in their last 10 outings overall while losing 531 units on the moneyline in that span. Toronto is in a period of transition and they have several players who have been mentioned in possible trades ahead of the non-waiver deadline, a position most teams that are eight games under .500 and 22.5 games out of first are in.

With the opportunity to get a look at some young talent, the Jays will give the ball to rookie Borucki in Friday’s second game of the series. The kid has pitched well in three previous starts, allowing five runs and 19 hits across 20 innings with 16 strikeouts. He hasn’t gotten a lot of support with the Jays scoring a total of five runs in his three starts while losing every game. “The kid has a lot of poise,” manager John Gibbons said of Borucki. “But the main thing he knows he can pitch.”

The best offense in the Bigs will be a test for the rookie lefty. The Sox lead the Majors in runs scored, batting average, and OPS, while hitting the second-most homers. During their 10-game streak the Sox scored 73 runs, upping their runs per game average to 5.4 for the season and cashing the over six times in their last nine contests.

Since dropping two of three games in Fenway to the White Sox last month, Boston has been nearly unbeatable at home. The BoSox have won eight straight and nine of their last 10 in their own yard and are 32-12 overall at Fenway. By winning their 66th game of the season on Friday, the Sox set a record for most wins before the break while climbing 37 games over .500 for the first time since 1946.

Probable Pitchers

Rookie lefty Ryan Borucki ( 0-1, 2.25 ERA ) is making a case to stay in the Jays rotation permanently after three strong outings. He made his debut on June 26 limiting the Astros to six hits and two runs over 6.0 innings. Borucki pitched 7.0 innings in each of his past two starts and was phenomenal against the Yankees in his last outing, limiting the Bombers to one run and seven hits with five strikeouts.

Borucki deserved better than a pair of no decisions from his last two starts, but the Jays haven’t given him much support. They scored a total of five runs in Borucki’s three starts and they’ve lost all three games, despite the kid posting a 2.25 ERA.

The Sox are tearing it up offensively and their pitching hasn’t received a lot of recognition because of it. Rick Porcello ( 11-3, 3.58 ERA ) is quietly going about his business and putting together a strong season while getting plenty of help from his mates. The Sox average 6.0 runs per game with the sinkerballer on the hill and as a result Porcello is tied for the team lead in wins.

Porcello isn’t simply banking on a dynamic offense to pad his win total. He’s allowed two earned runs or fewer in five of his last eight starts with a 5-1 record and 3.38 ERA in that time. He is 1-0 with a 3.29 ERA in two starts against the Jays this season.

Blue Jays at Red Sox Picks

The Sox have never faced Borucki so the lefty could give them problems, especially if he pitches as effectively as he did in his three previous starts. On the flip side, Borucki has never faced the Sox or their deadly lineup, and Fenway is an imposing stadium for lefties. It hasn’t mattered who the Sox face lately and they’ve had the Jays’ number all season. It’s hard to envision the rookie slowing Boston down, so take the Sox.

Blue Jays at Red Sox Pick: Boston -190

Blue Jays at Red Sox Score Prediction: Boston 6, Toronto 3

Syndergaard wins for Mets in return from disabled list
July 13, 2018

NEW YORK (AP) Noah Syndergaard pitched out of trouble in a rusty return from the disabled list and helped himself with an RBI single as the New York Mets beat the Washington Nationals 4-2 on Friday night.

Amed Rosario tripled and doubled, both times over Bryce Harper's head in center field, and the Mets won for only the sixth time in their last 26 home games. Brandon Nimmo had three hits for New York, which built a three-run cushion in the first inning against struggling starter Tanner Roark.

Roark (3-12) became the first 12-game loser in the majors this season. He allowed four runs and eight hits in five innings.

Matt Adams homered for the inconsistent Nationals, who fell back to .500 at 47-47. They have lost just three of 13 games at Citi Field since the start of last season.

After missing seven weeks with a strained ligament in his right index finger, Syndergaard (5-1) came out firing 99 mph fastballs.

Robert Gsellman gave up Adams' upper-deck shot in the eighth but got six outs for his fourth save.

BLUE JAYS 13, RED SOX 7

BOSTON (AP) - Kevin Pillar had four hits and Justin Smoak had three, including a pair of homers, and they drove in four runs apiece to help Toronto snap Boston's 10-game winning streak.

Dwight Smith Jr. also homered for Toronto, which won for the second time in six games. Jake Petricka (1-0) pitched two innings of shutout ball in relief of Ryan Borucki, who lasted just three-plus innings but left with an 8-6 lead.

Mookie Betts had three hits, including two triples, to raise his major league-leading batting average to .357. J.D. Martinez had two hits for the Red Sox, who won 15 of their previous 17 games and will head into the All-Star break with the best record in baseball and the AL East lead.

Rick Porcello (11-4) allowed seven hits and eight runs in two innings to take the loss.

PHILLIES 2, MARLINS 0

MIAMI (AP) - Aaron Altherr drove in his first run of July and later started a sensational relay to protect the lead, helping Jake Arrieta and Philadelphia top the Miami.

Arrieta (7-6) pitched seven innings of three-hit ball. Victor Arano got three outs and Pat Neshek finished the three-hitter for his first save.

Maikel Franco hit his 13th homer of the season in the ninth for the Phillies, who have won 10 of their last 13.

For Marlins starter Wei-Yin Chen (2-7), it was another brilliant home showing. He allowed one run and five hits in six innings, striking out eight - his most since May 2016 - and walking one. At home this season, his ERA is now 1.83. On the road, it's 10.47.

INDIANS 6, YANKEES 5

CLEVELAND (AP) - Rookie right-hander Shane Bieber pitched into the eighth inning and Cleveland's shaky bullpen narrowly closed things out.

Bieber (5-1) was removed after Tyler Wade's leadoff double in the eighth and Cleveland leading 6-3. Brett Gardner's RBI groundout cut the lead to two and set up a tense ninth inning.

Closer Cody Allen, who allowed a career-high six runs in the ninth inning against Cincinnati on Tuesday, gave up Giancarlo Stanton's leadoff homer but recorded his 19th save in 20 chances.

The Indians broke a seven-game losing streak against the Yankees dating to last season's AL Division Series when New York came back from a 2-0 deficit. The Yankees won the first four games between the teams this season.

Yankees rookie Domingo German (2-5) allowed six runs - matching a season high - in four-plus innings.

PIRATES 7, BREWERS 3

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Josh Bell tied a career with four hits, Gregory Polanco homered and both drove in two runs to lead Pittsburgh over Milwaukee.

The fourth-place Pirates have won five of their last six. First-place Milwaukee has lost four of five and its lead has been cut to a half-game over the Chicago Cubs.

Nick Kingham (4-4) tied a career high with nine strikeouts and allowed three runs over 6 1/3 innings. Kyle Crick got four outs for his second save of the season.

Milwaukee starter Junior Guerra (6-6) yielded six runs, nine hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out four.

TWINS 11, RAYS 8

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Joe Mauer homered and drove in four runs, Jake Cave had three hits and a pair of RBIs, and Robbie Grossman added three hits for Minnesota, which has won eight of nine games on its homestand.

Trevor Hildenberger (2-2) struck out the side in the seventh to pick up the win in relief of starter Jake Odorizzi.

Tampa Bay starter Nathan Eovaldi (3-4) gave up eight runs and nine hits with two walks in 2 2/3 innings. Rookie Jake Bauers hit a three-run homer for the Rays, who climbed within a run before the Twins pulled away late.

Eovaldi saw his ERA rise from 3.35 to 4.59 in his shortest outing of the season.

REDS 9, CARDINALS 1

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Scooter Gennett and Dilson Herrera homered, Matt Harvey (5-5) tossed five solid innings and Cincinnati beat St. Louis.

Jesse Winker reached base four times and drove in three runs for the Reds, who won their second in a row against St. Louis after breaking a 13-game losing streak to the Cardinals on June 10.

Gennett hit his 17th homer of the season off Carlos Martinez (6-5) in the third to push the lead to 3-1.

Herrera added a three-run, pinch-hit homer off Sam Tuivailala to highlight a five-run outburst in the seventh.

RANGERS 5, ORIOLES 4

BALTIMORE (AP) - Ryan Rua had a tiebreaking, pinch-hit three-run homer in the seventh inning and Texas held on to snap a three-game losing streak.

Cole Hamels (5-8) won for the first time in almost a month, allowing four runs and five hits with three strikeouts and one walk over 6 1/3 innings in a matchup of last-place teams.

Keone Kela got the last three outs for his 23rd save.

The Orioles have lost 17 of 20 and fell to 14-33 at Camden Yards, the second-worst home mark in the majors behind Kansas City.

Joey Gallo gave the Rangers the lead when he led off the fifth with a home run off Alex Cobb (2-12).

ROCKIES 10, MARINERS 7

DENVER (AP) - Trevor Story homered and drove in four runs, Charlie Blackmon also connected and Tony Wolters had three RBIs for Colorado, which won its third straight.

Both teams used emergency starters but neither made it through five innings. Seattle's Christian Bergman (0-1), a former Rockies pitcher, gave up five runs in 4 1/3 innings and left during Colorado's four-run fifth inning.

Colorado righty Jeff Hoffman was called up to start for Antonio Senzatela, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a blister on the middle finger of his right hand. He allowed three runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings and left after allowing an RBI single to Bergman that made it 4-3.

Harrison Musgrave (1-1) pitched three innings to get his first career win.

DIAMONDBACKS 2, BRAVES 1

ATLANTA (AP) - Nick Ahmed hit a tiebreaking single in the seventh after Zack Godley allowed a run over six innings and Arizona beat Atlanta.

Both teams began the week in first place but have since fallen out. The Diamondbacks began the night a half game behind the Dodgers in the NL West. The Braves fell 1 + games behind NL East-leading Philadelphia.

Godley (11-6) gave up three hits in the first, including Kurt Suzuki's run-scoring single. He allowed only two hits over the next five innings and struck out seven overall.

Brad Boxberger struck out the side in the ninth for his 23rd save.

Sam Freeman (2-5) took the loss in relief of Atlanta starter Anibal Sanchez.

ASTROS 3, TIGERS 0

HOUSTON (AP) - Dallas Keuchel pitched six strong innings, three relievers completed the seven-hitter and Alex Bregman provided the offense by setting a career high with his 20th homer to give Houston a win over Detroit.

Keuchel (7-8) allowed six hits and struck out four to win his fourth straight decision after dropping the previous three. Tony Sipp and Brad Peacock pitched the seventh and eighth innings before Hector Rondon walked one in the ninth for his eighth save.

The Astros got to former teammate Mike Fiers (6-6) early. George Springer hit a leadoff single before the two-run shot by Bregman, which bounced off the wall above the Crawford Boxes in left field, made it 2-0.

Ronny Rodriguez had two hits for the Tigers, who went 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position to lose their fifth straight game.

WHITE SOX 9, ROYALS 6

CHICAGO (AP) - Leury Garcia had three hits and three RBIs, All-Star Jose Abreu homered for the first time in July and Chicago beat Kansas City. Joakim Soria pitched the ninth for his 14th save in 17 chances.

James Shields (4-10) pitched five-hit ball into the seventh inning as the White Sox earned their second straight win after a six-game slide.

Whit Merrifield had two hits and scored two runs for Kansas City, which has dropped 12 of 13. Brad Keller (2-4) was tagged for five runs and seven hits in 2 2/3 innings.

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here…….

13) In 2012, Kansas City Chiefs went 2-12; they were -24 in turnovers, so they fired coach Romeo Crennel and hired Andy Reid.

In five years since, Chiefs have been +18/-3/+14/+16/+15 in turnovers, and are 53-27.

12) Alex Smith was KC’s QB in all five of those years, but now he is in Washington and the new QB is Patrick Mahomes, who started in Week 17 LY, throwing for 284 yards in a 27-24 win in Denver. It was his first NFL start.

My question in this; can the Chiefs maintain a positive turnover ratio in double digits despite playing a first-time starting QB? They almost have to turn the ball over more this season, given the normal learning curve for a young QB.

11) From 2000-16, 77 NFL teams were +10 or better in turnovers; of those 77 teams, 58 had worse records the following season, 8 had better records, 11 stayed the same, which suggests that a hugely positive turnover ratio gave the team some luck that is tough to sustain.

35 of the 58 teams whose record regressed won 3+ fewer games the following season.

10) Last year, six NFL teams had a turnover ratio of +10 or better: Ravens +17, Chiefs +15, Chargers +12, Eagles +11, Lions/Jaguars +10.

9) From 2000-16, 92 NFL teams were -10 or worse in turnovers; of those 92 teams, 61 had better records the next year, 21 had worse records, 10 stayed the same.

41 of the 61 teams whose records improved won 3+ more gams the following season.

8) Last year, five NFL teams had a turnover ratio of -10 or worse: Browns -28, Broncos -17, Dolphins/Raiders -14, Texans -12.

7) Going back to the Ravens’ +17 turnover ratio LY, it was the best turnover ratio in the NFL since the ’15 Panthers were +20, but Baltimore missed the playoffs!!!! How are you +17 in turnovers and not a playoff team? It may help explain why they drafted Lamar Jackson.

6) Sounds like kids will be able to go right from high school to the NBA starting in 2022, which means NBA teams should start scouting 9th graders this winter.

5) Jimmy Butler turned down the Timberwolves’ offer of a 4-year, $110M extension, which suggests “Why does Minnesota have a team if their best player won’t take $27.5M a year to play there?” How can the Wolves ever be any good?

4) Chase Utley announced that he’ll retire after this season; the entire Dodger team was at his announcement, a signal of how well-respected he is by teammates.

Utley has solid career numbers; is he a Hall of Famer? I think it is debatable- there were some former ballplayers on Twitter Friday saying he is a no-brainer yes. I’m not so sure— if Jeff Kent isn’t in, why should Utley be in?

3) Atlanta Hawks traded for G Jeremy Lin, who tore his patellar tendon on opening night last season, forcing him to miss the entire year. Lin averaged 14.5 ppg, 5.1 apg and 1.2 steals/game in 2016-17, his first year with Brooklyn.

Nets also acquired Kenneth Faried from Denver, who is owed $13.8M next season, Darrell Arthur, a top-12 protected 2019 first-round pick and a future 2nd-round pick in for Isaiah Whitehead.

The move saves Denver $21M and keeps them from paying the luxury tax. Whitehead will get waived by the Nuggets and become a free agent.

2) Phoenix Suns were 8-1 betting favorites to win the Las Vegas Summer League; they lost their first tournament game, 88-86 to the 76ers. So much for that.

I’m not uncertain that wagering on the summer league is a bad idea.

1) From hoopshype.com, an interesting story about and NBA player and agents:

“I have one really messed-up story involving my agent. When I was an unrestricted free agent, I was hoping to join this one team that really liked me and my agent seemed optimistic that we could figure out a deal. I really wanted to go there; it seemed great and it checked all the boxes that I wanted.

I wasn’t too involved in the talks, my agent just kept updating me every now and then on what was happening. Well, I ended up getting word from someone in the organization that my agent was trying use me to get more money for another one of his clients, who was already on that team. He was telling the team to re-sign his other client at a certain amount and saying they would also be able to sign me at a discount.

I was furious when I found out. I fired my agent and, for some time after that incident, I had a really hard time trusting agents who wanted to step in and represent me.”

Lot of agents are weasels.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTING PITCHERS

Streaking: Eduardo Rodriguez, Boston Red Sox (11-3, 3.62 ERA, $1,060)

On one hand, you look at the support Rodriguez has received so far – he ranks fifth in the league at 5.61 runs – and surmise that this is why the Red Sox are 15-3 in his 18 starts. But E-Rod has been no slouch, having bounced back from a mini-slump with 11 2/3 shutout innings in back-to-back victories over the Washington Nationals and Texas Rangers.

Consider the Boston runline Saturday afternoon against the Blue Jays, who have already lost to Rodriguez once this season.

Slumping: Kyle Hendricks, Chicago Cubs (5-8, 3.93 ERA, $-1,351)

While Rodriguez is one of only three pitchers to have earned $1,000 or more so far this season, Hendricks continues to rank dead last in the value category. He has just two quality starts in his last eight turns, and while he's coming off an eight-inning, one-run masterpiece in San Francisco, he's still 2-3 with a dismal 4.78 ERA in his nine road starts.

The Cubs have just two wins in those nine outings – and at -185 in San Diego on Saturday, they're a recommended fade.
