Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

— Giants’ 1B Brandon Belt had a 21-pitch AB Sunday that took 12:45— he fouled off 16 two-strike pitches, before he lined out to RF. 21-pitch AB is a major league record, at least since 1986, when they started keeping track of this stuff.

— Spurs 103, Warriors 90— San Antonio staves off elimination, now trails series 3-1

— Bucks 104, Celtics 102— Milwaukee hung on after leading by 16 at the half.

— Penguins 8, Flyers 5— Pitt advances to 2nd round; not a lot of defense here.

— Indians 7, Orioles 3— Under is now 8-1 in games at Camden Yards this season.

— Cubs’ 3B Kris Bryant was hit in head by a pitch, left the game in Denver Sunday, but was said to be OK.

Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: More football notes as Draft Week starts……

13) The 2018 schedule was announced Thursday night, the best option out of 59,031 possible schedules that the league’s computer produced.

12) FOX is doing Thursday Night Football this season; apparently they asked the NFL to move some of their prime Sunday afternoon games to Thursday, and that happened.

Vikings-Rams, Packers-Seahawks, Eagles-Giants, Saints-Cowboys are all Thursday night games this year. FOX’s Thursday night ratings should be pretty good.

11) No teams will play on the road following a Monday Night Football road game; that happened five times last year, and teams complained about it.

10) Eagles-Jaguars play a 9:30am ET game in London, which means the poor ticket takers in Las Vegas casinos (6:30am there) probably have to be at work by 5:30am. No bueno.

This is the first time ever the defending Super Bowl champ will play in England.

9) Jets-Lions is a Week 1 Monday night game in large part because Ed Sheeran has a Sunday concert at Ford Field that week. Sheeran’s concert tour forced 8 NFL games off of Sunday dates.

8) According to Sports Illustrated’s Peter King, last year the Giants were not pleased with their schedule because they felt they were too often playing teams more rested than they were- they were -22 in “rest disparity”, at one point playing consecutive games vs teams coming off their bye week. This year, no team’s rest disparity is worse than -11. (Giants’ is -7)

7) NFL will play two Saturday games in Week 16—but they haven’t been announced yet. That is also Christmas week, but the four teams won’t be told their games will be played on December 22 until Halloween or so. Those two games will undoubtedly involve contending teams.

6) Packers-Patriots in Week 9 is just the second meeting between Rodgers-Brady as starting QB’s. Green Bay beat the Patriots 26-21 in 2014, with Rodgers throwing for 368 yards, but he was hurt when New England beat the Packers in 2010.

Rodgers didn’t start in the 2006 Packer-Patriot meeting, but replaced an injured Brett Favre in 2nd quarter of an easy New England win.

5) Jon Gruden has been out of coaching for nine years; he’s spent most of that time on Monday Night Football, so fitting that his return to the sidelines is the Week 1 Monday Night Football nightcap against the Rams in Oakland.

4) If you were advising Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield and he told you he wanted a camera crew to follow him around for four months before the draft, would you have told him that was a good idea or a bad idea?

Apparently there is going to be a documentary made about Mayfield’s path from his bowl game last January to the NFL Draft in Dallas. Would be fun to know what his prospective employers think of that.

3) “Every game I’ve seen him play, he’s been the best player on the field.”

Thats an AFC GM talking about Louisville QB Lamar Jackson, who to me will be the most interesting player to follow at the draft Thursday-Saturday.

2) According to a video on NFL.com, Green Bay has the toughest schedule in 2018 and Houston has the easiest. Of course, injuries will drastically change all that as time goes on, but the NFL Network has to have something to talk about between now and the draft on Thursday.

1) Denver Broncos signed free agent punter Marquette King, so they traded their old punter Riley Dixon to the Giants for a future conditional draft pick.

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Gerrit Cole, Houston Astros (2-0, 0.96 ERA, $400)

It's been an absolutely incredible start to Gerrit Cole's career as a Houston Astros' starting pitcher. The team has won all four of his starts, he has an ERA of 0.96, his WHIP is a miniscule 0.75, and his opponent's on-base percentage is .214. And, of course, he has the strikeouts to back up all of these other numbers with three double-digit strikout games in his four outings.

Cole and the Astros are -190 home favorites tonight against Tyler Skaggs and the visiting Los Angeles Angels.

Slumping: Masahiro Tanaka, New York Yankees (2-2, 6.45 ERA, $-383)

Most people were fully aware in the offseason that, outside of Luis Severino, the Yankees' starting rotation was going to be an issue this year. Why they stood by and did nothing in free agency is beyond our comprehension.

Masahiro Tanaka has really been terrible over his last two starts with an ERA of 10.80 and a WHIP of 1.90. The good thing about being a Yankees' starting pitcher is that even when you struggle on the mound, the offense can still bomb their way to a win - Tanaka actually won one of those two starts by a score of 10-7.

Tanaka and the Yanks are -195 favorites at home this evening against Jake Odorizzi and the Minnesota Twins.

Monday’s Top Trends

* Reds are 1-11 in their last 12 home games vs. a right-handed starter. +118 today vs. Braves (Foltynewicz).
* Orioles are 0-7 in Kevin Gausman's last seven starts vs. AL Central. +165 today vs. Indians.
* White Sox are 1-8 in their last nine home games. +130 today vs. Mariners.
* Angels are 9-0 in their last nine road games. +180 today @ Astros.
* Under is 11-1 in Chad Bettis' last 12 home starts. Padres/Rockies total: 11.

Weather Watch

As mentioned in the Double-Play Picks section above, wet conditions are expect this evening in Cincinnati where the Reds are scheduled to host the Braves. Conditions are expected to improve as the evening progresses so we'll see what they decided to do with this one. If they do play, winds are expected to be blowing in from left-center field at 15 miles per hour.

That should be the only precipitation in the MLB forecast for Monday.

There will be one notable hitter's wind - Camden Yards in Baltimore is expecting 8-12 mile per hour winds blowing out to center field. The total for their game against the visiting Indians is set at 7.5.
