    Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

    Updated NFL over-under win totals for 2018:

    — San Francisco 49ers 8.5, under -$125

    — Baltimore Ravens, 8.5, under -$130

    — Tennessee Titans 8.5, under -$140

    — Carolina Panthers 8, over -$140

    — Dallas Cowboys 8, over -$135

    — Jacksonville Jaguars 8, -$125

    **********

    Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud…….

    13) Sunday afternoon at Westwood Country Club in the St Louis area; 7th hole, 123 yards; two guys in the same foursome both got hole-in-1’s.

    The odds of two guys in the same foursome getting an ace on the same hole are said to be 17,000,000-1. Pretty cool, but which guy had honors on the next hole?

    12) Interesting article on Yahoo Sports about the Miami Dolphins’ scouts and how they went about their duties leading up to last week’s draft.

    Over the course of last football season and leading up to the draft, Miami’s 10-man scouting staff graded 1,504 players, wrote 3,690 reports and visited 256 colleges.

    11) ESPN said that Kyle Korver had the ball in his hands for 30 seconds during Cleveland’s OT win in Toronto Tuesday night. He made the most of those 30 seconds, making 7 of 17 shots, 5 of 12 behind the arc. 17 shots in 30 seconds with the ball; sounds like a good job.

    10) Colorado Rockies led off Tuesday’s game at Wrigley Field with back/back homers; that was first time since 1937 a visiting team starting a game at Wrigley with back/back jacks.

    9) Dodgers were 23-4 last year when Clayton Kershaw started; they’re 2-5 this year.

    8) Red Sox 5, Royals 4— Mookie Betts had three homers for Boston, which trailed 3-0 early.

    7) According to ESPN, Phoenix Suns will hire Utah Jazz assistant coach Igor Kokoskov as their new head coach; he will become the first European-born head coach in the NBA..

    6) Utah State’s football team will be paid $1.91M to come to Tuscaloosa and lose to the Crimson Tide during the 2022 season.

    Thats the 3rd-most $$$ a team has ever gotten for a non-conference game; Florida is paying Colorado State $2M (as part of Jim McElwain’s buyout) for a game this fall and Auburn will pay Tulane $1.937M for a 2019 game

    5) In case you were wondering, Albert Pujols holds the all-time major league record for first inning home runs— he hit his 142nd 1st inning homer off Dylan Bundy Wednesday night.

    4) Baseball players get hurt a lot:
    — Jacob deGrom hyperextended his elbow while batting Wednesday night; an MRI was taken; all Mets fans and deGrom fantasy owners are holding their breath.
    — Braves’ SS Dansby Swanson left that same game with a sore left wrist.
    — Dodgers’ P Hyun-jin Ryu left his start in the 2nd inning with an unknown injury.

    3) Jazz 116, Rockets 108— Utah evens series 1-1 with a road win; they made 15-32 on arc, led by Joe Ingles’ 7-9. Winning a road game without Ricky Rubio is even more impressive.

    2) A’s 3, Mariners 2– Paxton blanked Oakland for seven innings, striking out 16 hitters in an overpowering performance, but they took him out after 105 pitches and the A’s beat the Seattle bullpen.

    1— Random question: What would baseball be like if there was no pitchers’ mound, just a circle in the middle of the infield where the pitchers threw the ball? Would scoring go way up?

                Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

                Streaking:
                Lance McCullers Jr., Houston Astros (4-1, 3.71 ERA, $-30)

                We were a little bit worried about Lance McCullers Jr. at the beginning of the season, but he has really settled into a groove in his last few outings. Over his last three starts for the Astros he is 3-0 with an ERA of 0.90 and a WHIP of 0.65.

                Lance and the Astros are -125 favorites today at home against Masahiro Tanaka and the Yankees.

                Slumping:
                Jason Vargas, New York Mets (0-1, 22.09 ERA, $-100)

                Lefty Jason Vargas' Mets debut didn't go exactly as planned last week. In his first start of the season, against the lowly San Diego Padres, Vargas allowed nine runs in just 3.2 innings of work. That adds up to a giant ERA of 22.09 and a bulbous WHIP of 3.27.

                Vargas will look to rebound this afternoon as a slight -115 favorite against Julio Teheran and the young Atlanta Braves.

                Thursday's Top Trends

                * Pirates are 0-7 in their last seven road games. +115 today @ Nationals.
                * Over is 10-1 in Indians' last 11 home games. TOR/CLE Game 1 total: 8.5.
                * Yankees are 14-3 in their last 17 overall. +115 today @ Astros.
                * Royals are 1-10 in their last 11 home games vs. a right-handed starter. -115 today vs. Tigers.
                * Diamondbacks are 8-0 in their last eight games following a loss. -135 today vs. Dodgers.
                * Rangers are 6-20 in their last 26 home games. +140 today vs. Red Sox.
                * Twins are 0-7 in their last seven road games. -110 today @ White Sox.

                Weather Watch

                Thunderstorms could cause some issues around Major League Baseball today. T-storms are very unpredictable, but there is some electricity in the forecast for Cleveland, Kansas City, and Chicago.

                In addition to thunder and lightning, there are also plenty of stadiums that have hitter's winds in the forecast Thursday.

                Pirates @ Nationals (total: 9.5): 11-13 mile per hour wind blowing out to center field.
                Braves at Mets (total: 9): 16-17 mile per hour wind blowing out to right-center field.
                Blue Jays at Indians (Game 1 total: 8.5): 16-17 mile per hour wind blowing out to right field.
                Tigers at Royals (total: 9.5): 16-19 mile per hour wind blowing out to left-center field.

                Ump of the Day

                Jordan Baker is one of baseball's top homer umpires and he is scheduled to be calling balls and strikes this afternoon at Chase Field where the D-Backs and Dodgers will wrap up their three-game series. Home teams are 5-1 in Baker's six games behind the plate and dating back to last season the trend extends to 8-1 in his last nine overall.

                The Diamondbacks are -135 favorites today.
