Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

— Ole Miss transfer QB Shea Patterson is eligible to play at Michigan this fall.

— Colorado Rockies won 1-0 in Miami Friday night, just their 20th-ever 1-0 win, which is the fewest in MLB since 1993.

— Steelers drafted Oklahoma State QB Mason Rudolph; is he Big Ben’s successor?

— New Pitt basketball coach Jeff Capel hired his brother Jeff as an assistant coach.

— Jason Witten will retire from the Cowboys and be the analyst on Monday Night Football this fall.

**********

Armadillo: 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?

The Complete Game: "The Claw" is burning bettors' money early in 2018
Rob Hansen

Thursday night, Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers were taken down 8-6, as -400 moneyline favorites, by the Miami Marlins.

The month of April is almost complete. The tulips are popping up from their long winter hibernation and those of us living in northern climates are noticing the smells of spring – freshly mowed lawns, barbeque, and salt-water breezes (for those of us lucky enough to live near the ocean). It’s been a long wait, but summer is right around the corner.

This is also the time of year when you’ll hear baseball analysts and talking heads use the expression, “Their bats will warm up with the weather.”

Let’s be honest, oddsmakers are pretty good at their job. However, we’ll keep a close eye on betting totals and offensive production over the next couple of weeks to see if we can grab a slight edge on the books.

Over/Under number thus far on the season (prior to Friday’s games) are very even at 175-171 (50.58 percent Over) and over the last seven days are dead even at 44-44 (50 percent).

Just like those tulips that are popping up from their cold-weather slumbers, it’s about time some of these vaunted offenses around baseball came out of hibernation, too.

Week in review

This week we saw Oakland Athletics’ starting pitcher Sean Manaea toss a no-hitter as a +150 underdog at home against the Boston Red Sox, and we were all witness to the longest at-bat in “modern baseball history” (since they started tracking pitches per at-bat as an official statistic in 1988) when Los Angeles Angels’ starter Jaime Barria and San Francisco Giants’ first baseman Brandon Belt battled for 21 pitches this past Sunday.

That stuff was great, and there were plenty of other notable moments of the week, but the highlight of the week in the betting world was, unquestionably, the Miami Marlins taking two straight games from the defending National League champion Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.

Wednesday night, Dillon Peters outdueled Kenta Maeda and the Marlins won 3-2, cashing as +225 underdogs. Then Thursday, three-time National League Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw looked uncharacteristically bad in an 8-6 win by The Fish, cashing as whopping +320 dogs. Kershaw walked six batters in just five innings of work – six walks is generally over a month’s worth for peak-Kershaw. The Arizona Diamondbacks better look out next week because “The Claw” is pissed off.

What to watch for this weekend

This weekend we will be treated to a series featuring two future powerhouses (possibly current powerhouses?) from the National League East as the Atlanta Braves travel to Philadelphia to take on the Phillies, and the Dodgers and Giants do battle for four games at AT&T Park in their third series already in 2018 (season series tied 3-3).

The weekend series that will draw the most attention, however, will be the New York Yankees traveling to Anaheim to take on the Angels. Any time you get names like Mike Trout, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Albert Pujols, and Shohei Ohtani on the field at the same time, the baseball world is going to take notice.

The Yanks send their ace Luis Severino to the hill Friday night as -140 favorites and he’ll be able to do his thing against a struggling Angels’ offense that's averaging only 2.44 runs per game over their last nine.

Saturday night will open around a Pick ‘Em (Yankees money may push them to a slight favorite by game time) when Masahiro Tanaka goes up against Garrett Richards. The Yanks have never lost a Tanaka start against the Angels and in two career starts at Angel Stadium he has allowed only one run in 14.1 innings of work (0.63 ERA). On the other hand, Richards’ last start against the Yankees was not his best work as he allowed six runs in just 0.2 innings and 37 pitches - six runs on 37 pitches in not an easy thing to do. The Yankees should be able to cash again in Game 2.

The final game of the series goes Sunday night with CC Sabathia taking on Tyler Skaggs. The Angels’ lefty is coming off a very good outing in Houston against the Astros but New York hits left-handed pitching very well, in fact, they own the top OPS in the American League (.843) against lefties heading into the weekend. The Angels also hit southpaws well, so I expect a slugfest in front of a national television audience. The total should open at around 8.5 or 9.

Betting Stats

Since we now have a month of data from the 2018 season to look at, let’s dive into the best/worst money earners for both teams and starting pitchers over the opening four weeks.

The top two teams on the Money Statistics table are, not coincidentally, the top two teams in each league. The Red Sox (19-5) top the table, earning 13.04 units for bettors, and the Diamondbacks (17-7) are close behind at 11.23 units to the positive.

At the bottom of the earnings table are the two worst teams in baseball in the Cincinnati Reds (-14.47 units) and the Kansas City Royals (-12.36 units). While it may not come as much of a surprise that the Reds and Royals are burying stacks of cash, the next team on the list may be a surprise to some – the Dodgers. Los Angeles is close to .500 at 11-12 heading into the weekend but they are burning chalk at a ferocious pace to start the season, costing bettors 11.54 units thus far.

In the Starter Money Statistics category, Phillies’ Nick Pivetta stands alone with a team win/loss record of 5-0 and an even 5.0 units earned for bettors. Interestingly, the Win/Under parlay is 4-0-1 in his five starts which speaks to how well he’s been throwing in 2018. Pivetta will climb the hill Saturday against the Braves with the Phils favored at -135 to -140.

At the bottom of the starter’s table is the aforementioned Kershaw. He had some hard-luck losses early in the season and his awful start against the Marlins pushed him all of the way to the basement at -7.76 units. Kershaw, obviously, pitches every game as a large moneyline favorite so it’s very easy to quickly burn piles of cash, but he was getting the same lines last year and he finished the season as the No. 2 money starter in baseball with 12.35 units earned.

Will Kershaw turn his season around? Yes. Will he be able to dig bettors out of the hole that he’s buried them in early in 2018? Not likely as a big favorite every start.
