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

13) When I was lucky enough to be an assistant high school basketball coach a long time ago, the time during the National Anthem was special to me; it allowed me to collect my thoughts about what was about to happen, and to appreciate the blessings I have. It was a good two or three minutes to get my mind organized.

12) My take on the National Anthem issue in the NFL and my opinion on this is pretty much my opinion on most things in this country:

Its a free bleepin’ country. Let people do what they want, within reason.

Freedom of speech, freedom of expression is a vital part of our democracy. I would never kneel during the National Anthem, but I respect another person’s right to do so. But thats me.

11) In his last six starts, Jacob deGrom has allowed one run in 33.1 IP; he’s won two of the six games. Mets’ bullpen did him in again last night, blowing a 9th inning lead in a 2-1 loss.

10) Paul Zimmerman was a really good football writer for Sports Illustrated; his advice to young football writers?

“Talk to the offensive linemen; there won’t be crowds around them, and they know why everything happens.”

9) The NHL commercial where the all-time stars of the game spell out their last names is a great one; the pride that comes with having your name etched on the Stanley Cup is special.

8) Albany Great Danes’ basketball team is heading to Northern Ireland for an 8-team tournament in late November. I’d prefer Hawai’i or Las Vegas to Ireland, but no one asked me.

7) Aaron Judge went into a slump after the All-Star break last year, so he’ll be skipping the Home Run Derby in Washington in July.

6) My plan to re-align the major leagues, by geography:
Division A: both NYC teams, Red Sox, Phillies, Blue Jays
Division B: Rays, Marlins, Braves, Orioles, Nationals
Division C: Pirates, Indians, Tigers, Twins, Brewers

Division D: Cubs, White Sox, Cardinals, Royals, Reds
Division E: Rockies, Mariners, Rangers, Astros, Diamondbacks
Division F: A’s, Giants, Dodgers, Angels, Padres

5) Travel costs would go down a lot; now if MLB expands to 32 teams soon, and it sounds like they might, then it becomes eight 4-team divisions. Portland, OR and Montreal are listed as the frontrunners for expansion teams.

4) From SI.com: Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells and Hank Aaron both homered off former major league pitcher Al Downing, Parcells in an American Legion game in a high school game in New Jersey, Aaron with his 715th home run to break Babe Ruth’s record in 1974.

3) White Sox catcher Welington Castillo is done for 80 games after flunking a PED test; bad news for the Pale Hose and also my fantasy team, which doesn’t need any more bad news.

2) Washington 4, Tampa Bay 0— Congrats to Alex Ovechkin on making his first Stanley Cup final; he’s led the NHL in goals seven times. Good to see him get a shot on this great stage.

1) If you enjoy gambling, you should make a trip to Las Vegas and visit the SuperBook here. Great place to watch games. You can wager on just about anything you like. Baseball, NHL, NBA, golf, soccer and of course, football and college hoop. Very fun place to hang out.

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Charlie Morton, Houston Astros (6-0, 1.94 ERA, $105)

Morton belongs in that group of Houston hurlers who are blowing away opponents in the batter’s box. He has 35 Ks in his last four starts and the Under is 4-0 during the same stretch. The Astros are 6-3 in his nine outings this season.

If you’re looking for someone a little less obvious for a streaking starter then check out Luis Castillo. The Cincinnati Reds are 3-0 in the righty’s last three appearances and he’s allowed just seven earned runs in his last 22 2/3 innings of work.

Slumping: Danny Duffy, Kansas City Royals (1-6, 6.88 ERA, -$791)

Some might argue everyone is struggling in Kansas City these days, but Duffy stands out in a depressing group of underachievers. The Royals are 1-9 in his 10 starts this season and only three other MLB starters (Homer Bailey, Clayton Kershaw and Jose Urena) have cost bettors more money.

Total bettors take note: the Over is 5-1 in his last six trips to the bump.

Thursday’s Top Trends

*The Pittsburgh Pirates are 5-14 in Ivan Nova’s last 19 road starts. They’re +115 underodgs at Cincinnati.
*The Toronto Blue Jays are 1-7 in their last seven home games. They’re -110 faves against the visiting Halos.
*The Under is 8-2 in the White Sox last 10 games and 12-3-1 in Lucas Giolito’s last 16 appearances.
*The Seattle Mariners are 5-0 in their last five games overall.
*The Under is 27-9-4 in the last 40 games between the Astros and Indians.
*The Boston Red Sox are 9-2 in their last 11 games against the Tampa Bay Rays. They’re -136 road faves vs. the Rays today.

Weather Watch

Thursday looks like a beautiful day for baseball all across the country with clear skies and light winds in the forecast today.

Ump of the Day

Tom Hallion: Over bettors have taken a beating the last two days of MLB play with the Under going 23-6-1. Seeing Tom Hallion behind home plate in tonight’s Red Sox-Rays game should cheer total players up. The Over is 5-1 in his last six games calling balls and strikes and 23-11 in his last 34 games behind home plate.
