    Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

    Players who have come up with most men on base, and % of those runners they drove in:

    — Khris Davis, Oak: 95 runners, drove in 16 (16.8%)

    — Scooter Gennett, Cin: 93 runners, drove in 12 (12.9%)

    — Giancarlo Stanton, NYY: 92 runners, drove in 10 (10.9%)

    — Didi Gregorius, NYY: 90 runners, drove in 20 (22.2%)

    — Marcell Ozuna, StL: 88 runners, drove in 15 (17.0%)

    — Carlos Correa, Hst: 87 runners, drove in 16 (18.4%)

    **********

    Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but…….

    13) Victor Oladipo’s 3-pointer at the end of Game 7 of Pacers-Cavaliers didn’t help Indiana win the series (they lost Game 7 by 4) but it helped Pacer backers win their bets. Most sports books opened Game 7 with the Cavaliers as 6.5-point favorites and closed at either 5 or 5.5.

    “It was probably a swing of $3 million to $5 million in Nevada. These types of things happen five or more times a week in our industry, whether it’s a two-run home run to cover the run line in the bottom of the ninth or an empty-net goal in the last minute of an NHL game.”
    Johnny Avello, head of race and sportsbook for the Wynn in Las Vegas

    12) Review of 40 notable mock drafts by the Arizona Cardinals’ PR guy shows average of 1st round “hits” (right player/right team) was just 3/32; average of the previous five years was 4.2.

    For second straight year, NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah led these mock drafters with 8 hits.

    11) Tough times for the Dodgers: Dodgers’ SS Corey Seager will have Tommy John surgery, is out for the season. Yasiel Puig is on the DL after getting hurt running into the wall in San Francisco Saturday. Rich Hill is on the DL with a cracked fingernail, which is a big deal if the nail is on your pitching hand.

    10) Manny Machado is making $16M this season and the Orioles are terrible; he’ll be a free agent after this season. Would the Dodgers trade for Machado to fill Seager’s spot?

    9) In 1983, Palace Station Casino in Las Vegas put up a 126-foot tall sign that contained 9,280 individual lamps; they started taking that sign down Monday, as part of a $192M project to modernize the Palace Station. Hopefully they keep the good Subway sub shop in their sportsbook.

    8) Veteran NBA player Ener Kanter said at the start of his N.B.A. career in 2011, he swore at referees, but exclusively in Turkish, his native tongue. He went his entire first season without referees calling a technical on him- he’s had 15 technicals since- “I should’ve stuck with Turkish,” was how Kanter described those.

    At the start of this year’s NBA postseason, 62 foreign-born players from 33 countries were on playoff rosters.

    7) Red Sox (Xander Bogaerts) hit their 6th grand slam of the season last night; 14 teams haven’t hit one yet this season.

    6) Leading money winners on the PGA Tour this season:
    1) Justin Thomas $5,221,300 2) Bubba Watson $3,690,454 3) Patrick Reed $3,580,252

    5) Leading money winners on the Senior Golf Tour this year:
    1) Steve Stricker $630,235 2) Jerry Kelly $539,890 3) Vijay Singh $500,380

    4) High school basketball star Romeo Lankford will stay close to home and go to Indiana this fall; the hoopla surrounding his announcement was ludicrous, with roughly 4,000 people in his high school gym for the event.

    Lankford is a 6-5 guard who was listed as the #6 HS prospect in this year’s class, but he was the best prospect who had to yet to commit. This is the first time since 2007 that the Hoosiers signed up the top-ranked senior from Indiana.

    3) An authenticated signed Sandy Koufax jersey that he wore pitching for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1956 was sold for $414,279 at a recent auction.

    2) Cubs 3, Rockies 2— Chicago won its last five games, allowing total of four runs.

    1— Guy named Joe Ganim is the mayor of Bridgeport, CT; never heard of him until just now, but he wants to enter the Democratic primary to be governor of Connecticut. He’s been elected mayor of Bridgeport five times, with a little break in between.

    The “little break” in between was a 7-year federal prison sentence; from his Wikipedia page:

    “On March 19, 2003, Ganim was convicted of 16 federal counts: one count each of racketeering, extortion, racketeering conspiracy and bribery; two counts of bribery conspiracy; eight counts of mail fraud and two counts of filing a false tax return.”

    Would you vote for this guy to be governor of your state? Good grief.

              May Pitchers Report
              May 1, 2018


              The call to the post in the month of May signals the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes. For baseball purists, May is simply the 2nd full month of the season as we head toward the sweltering days of summer. And for die-hard baseball fans that enjoy handicapping America’s pastime, it also signals the arrival of our annual May Good Month/Bad Month pitchers report.

              Listed below are hurlers that have enjoyed a two-to-one or better success ratio in team-starts over the course of the last three seasons during the month of May. On the flip side, we've also listed pitchers that struggle in May, winning 33% percent or less of their team-start efforts.

              To qualify pitchers must have made a minimum of 10 starts, with at least one start each May over the last three years. And for your convenience alongside each record we break down each pitcher’s greatest success or greatest failure rate either home (H) or away (A) within his good or bad month.

              Note: * designates a categorical repeat appearance by this pitcher, maintaining status quo from last season’s May list.

              GOOD MONTH PITCHERS

              *Cueto, Johnny - 11-5 (5-1 H)


              Johnny Cueto has been pitching all season like its May after an incredible start. As this month begins he a 0.86 ERA and otherworldly WHIP of 0.69. Opponents are batting just .150 against him. Cueto's deceptive deliveries and various arm angles are working magically thus far.

              *Greinke, Zack - 11-4 (4-1 A)

              In spite of how well Arizona has started the season, Greinke's been more inconsistent than normal. More than anything, he's left too many pitches in the zone, giving up too many base-knocks and home runs. Let's see if the right-hander finds his usual rhythm this month.

              *Kershaw, Clayton - 13-3 (8-1 H)

              Though Kershaw has not walked many batters, he's missed his spots which has hurt him. He's set such a high standard it's almost impossible to maintain and his velocity has dipped now in his 10th season. Still, he's still Kershaw and once the slider and curveball are back hitting their marks, watch the W's start piling up.

              McCullers Jr., Lance - 9-4 (5-1 A)

              Other than one start, McCullers Jr. has been in great form so far in 2018. His curveball is a work of art and among the best in the majors. His tendency to get hurt is what is holding him back from becoming next level hurler. If the hook and the fastball are on, he is one tough customer.

              *Price, David - 10-3 (5-0 H)

              Price's days as a top notch starter appear over, but he can still be a very good pitcher. His command of the fastball is what's changed (along with lower velocity), which makes his breaking pitches and off-speed stuff more of a focus for hitters. Nevertheless, when Price is right (sorry about that), he's more than capable of stringing a groups of victories together.

              Strasburg, Stephen 12-4 (6-2 A)

              Like his team, Strasburg has been up and down in the early part of the season. What has really hurt him is fat tosses in the zone, with seven balls flying over the fence already, after conceding an average of 14 per year since 2015. Just like the Nationals, it's just a matter of time before Strasburg is back in the groove.

              *Sale, Chris - 13-4 (7-2 H A)

              Unquestionably one of the premier pitchers in baseball who has gotten smarter in trying to work deeper into games and pitch to more contact. That does not mean the big lefty cannot dial it up and punch-out a hitter when needed. Sale’s just figured out how to be more valuable to his team.

              BAD MONTH PITCHERS

              *Cashner, Andrew - 5-10 (2-8 A)


              In the world of baseball betting, this is one of our favorite hurlers. Time and again oddsmakers consider his stuff rather than how he actually pitches. For every two OK starts are three lousy one's, which helps to explain his team's 51-76 record in his starts since 2013 and why Cashner is 43-68 lifetime.

                Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

                Streaking:
                Jarlin Garcia, Miami Marlins (1-0, 1.00 ERA, $95)

                On a day with elite starters like Clayton Kershaw, Max Scherzer, and Justin Verlander climbing the hill for their respective clubs, who whould've thought we'd have a Miami Marlins' pitcher listed as our Streaking Starter of the day. Well, here we are - and lefty Jarlin Garcia deserves the shine. In three career starts since joining Miami's rotation, Garcia has only allowed one run over 16 innings of work (0.56 ERA) and owns a WHIP of 0.8125.

                "Jarlin the Marlin" and the Fish are slight home dogs at +100 today versus Zach Eflin and the Phillies.

                Slumping:
                Alex Cobb, Baltimore Orioles (0-3, 13.11 ERA, $-332)

                Late signing, limited preparation for the season, new environment - the time for excuses is over for Alex Cobb. The Baltimore Orioles are paying this guy $14 million to pitch this year and $57 million in guaranteed money over the next four seasons. After three starts with the O's he is 0-3, has an ERA of 13.11, a WHIP of 2.83, and an opponent's on-base percentage of .507. Even more alarming than those pathetic numbers is the fact that in two of his three starts he tallied exactly ZERO strikeouts!

                Cobb looks to get things on track today as a +165 underdog in sunny Anaheim against Nick Tropeano and the Angels.

                Tuesday's Top Trends

                Weather Watch

                Tuesday should be a beautiful day for baseball all around the Majors with just a few winds to take note of:

                * Rangers at Indians (-190, 9.5): There will be a 12-14 mile per hour hitter's wind gusting out to right field for tonight's game at progressive field.
                * Rays at Tigers (+135, 8.5): At Comerica there is a 12-14 mph pitcher's wind blowing in from right field.
                * Rockies at Cubs (-168, 11): The Windy City will live up to its name today, with a 16-20 mph wind gusting straight out to center for tonight's game against the Rockies.
                * White Sox at Cardinals (-220, 9): And finally at Busch Stadium, there will be a 14-16 mph hitter's wind blowing out to left field.

                Ump of the Day

                Mike Estabrooks: Total bettors should take note with Estabrooks behind the plate for tonight's game between the Pirates and Nationals in Washington. The Under is 4-2 when Estabrooks is calling balls and strikes this season, maybe in part due to his high strike rate of 64.3. The Under is 5-0 in Estabrook's last five games behind home plate against Washington and 8-2 in his last 10 games behind home plate vs. Pittsburgh. The total for tonight's game is currently 7.5.
