**********

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here……

13) When Kevin Durant moved from the Thunder to Golden State as a free agent, he ruined the NBA playoffs. At least for a while.

Competitive balance is what makes sports interesting to watch; it is why the NFL is so damn popular, any team can win from year to year. The NBA is sorely lacking that right now- the same two teams met in the finals the last four years. No bueno.

12) Durant bolted a very strong Oklahoma City team that led Golden State 3-1 in Western finals two years ago; since then, the Warriors are 31-6 in NBA playoff games. 31 wins, 6 losses.

How the hell is a team supposed to beat Golden State four out of seven now when they’re 31-6 against the whole league when it counts the most? Houston came close this year, but it seems like the only way Golden State won’t keep winning titles is if they get a ton of injuries.

11) In their Game 3 win over Cleveland, the Warriors took 26 3-pointers, 44 shots in the paint, and only 11 2-point shots outside the paint.

Analytics people are pretty adamant about not taking 2-point shots outside the paint, but no matter where you shoot from, you still have to have guys who make those shots.

10) You can bet on just about anything, including teams in each quarter. In their last 20 games, Golden State Warriors are 15-5 vs spread in 3rd quarter.

9) 76ers and Bryan Colangelo “parted ways”, a nice way of saying they told hm to take a hike over Colangelo’s wife having burner Twitter accounts that criticized people, disclosed medical information that she obviously got from her husband.

It is unclear whether Colangelo knew that his wife was doing this. Doesn’t matter now.

8) Some things are so weird you couldn’t possibly make them up. Terrell Owens informed the Pro Football Hall of Fame he won’t attend his own induction ceremony in August, apparently because he is annoyed that he wasn’t voted in until his third year of eligibility. Oy.

7) Las Vegas Bowl ended its association with the Mountain West, starting in 2020, when the new Las Vegas domed stadium opens. From 2020 on, a Pac-12 team will play another power-5 team in the Las Vegas Bowl.

6) There was a cool article in the New York Times Thursday on Sammy Gelfand, the Warriors’ 31-year old analytics guy who has worked his way up from an internship with a sports agents’ firm to a member of the Golden State front office.

The guy is my hero, and I mean that. Hope he is enjoying the experience.

5) JT Realmuto doubled twice, hit a triple Wednesday, and was also hit by two pitches, which makes him the first player in the live-ball era, for any team, to have three extra-base hits and two hit-by-pitches in the same game.

4) Shohei Ohtani left Wednesday night’s game with Kansas City with a blister problem; Angels are playing well this year, but Ohtani has started only nine games, thrown around 50 innings.

3) Former Indiana/UAB coach Mike Davis is the new coach at Detroit Mercy; he had been at Texas Southern the last seven years. Now at least he can play some home games before conference play starts- at Texas Southern, all his non-league games were on the road.

2) They told an interesting story on the Rockies game Wednesday about Colorado pitching coach Steve Foster; in 1993, Foster was doing well pitching for the Reds- he was 26, and was a guest on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show in LA, where he threw some balls at milk bottles, like you would at the county fair. No big deal.

Foster pitched against the Dodgers that night, did well, but when he woke up the next day, his arm hurt badly and he never pitched again. He denies the Tonight Show caused any injury, and now he is a major league pitching coach. Go figure.

1— RIP Red Schoendienst, 95, a Hall of Famer who played/managed the Cardinals. He was 95 years old. People in St Louis referred to him as “Mr Cardinal” which is something when you realize that Stan Musial and Bob Gibson were also Cardinals.

Boatload Of Good MLB Teams On The Road This Weekend

If you are looking for road teams to back as winners this weekend, you've really got to look no further than the MLB schedule. Teams like Milwaukee (at Philly), Cleveland (at Detroit), Seattle (at Tampa Bay), St. Louis (at Cincinnati), Yankees (at Mets), Houston (at Texas), L.A. Angels (at Minnesota), and Atlanta (at L.A. Dodgers) are all viable candidates to win their weekend series' against their respective opponents. That's a huge list of road sides that will see plenty of support overall this weekend. Yet, it's still important to pick your spots with these teams and how you do that could be based on a lot of things. For example, Atlanta is a team that I believe will be coming back down to earth soon so avoiding them against the Dodgers is probably the path I'll take, and the Houston/Texas series could be a dicey one backing Houston with it being an intense division rivalry and all.

But I'd look for the surging Mariners to take care of business with at least a series win in Tampa, and the same could be said for the Cleveland Indians in Detroit, and the Angels in Minnesota. The Subway Series between the Yankees and Mets will garner plenty of headlines, but the Yankees should win more then they lose there, but decisions on whether or not to back the visiting Yankees there should more be based on the ML odds that come out.

The most intriguing visiting team to bet on this week may in fact be the Milwaukee Brewers though. The Brewers find themselves in 1st place in the NL Central with a 37-25 SU record and they'll probably be plus-money underdogs almost all weekend. The Phillies are a team that may fall back soon like I believe Atlanta will, as both could be classified in the group of young rebuilding teams getting too much success too fast.

The Brewers have surprised many as well with their play this year, but they've still been one of the best teams to bet on all year (3rd in money won as $100 bet on Milwaukee every game would be up $1260) and those numbers should only grow this weekend.

Friday, June 8


Friday's Diamond Notes
Kevin Rogers

Hottest team: Padres (7-2 last nine)

San Diego is currently the best last place team in baseball at 29-35, while sitting only 4 ½ games out of first place in the National League West. The Padres won seven of the final nine contests on its 10-game homestand, including three victories over the Marlins. San Diego heads to the east coast to face Miami for a three-game weekend set, but the Padres have lost 11 of their last 12 series openers.

The Padres have taken care of their business at home recently by winning 10 of the last 14 games at Petco Park, while not losing a home series since early May. However, San Diego needs to get its road record on track as the Padres are 2-4 in their last six away from Petco Park since winning three straight games at Pittsburgh in late May. In Friday’s opener at Miami, Eric Lauer takes the mound for the Padres, looking for not only his first road win of the season, but also a better outing against the Marlins after allowing five runs in 2.1 innings of a 7-2 loss to the Fish on May 28.

Coldest team: Phillies (3-7 last 10)

Philadelphia returns to Citizens Bank Park after stumbling on its 10-game road trip against Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago. Granted, the competition was tough, but after splitting a four-game series with the Dodgers, the Phillies scratched across one run in a three-game sweep at the hands of the Giants. The Phillies rebounded with a 6-1 blowout of the Cubs on Tuesday as nearly +200 underdogs, but lost on a walk-off grand slam on Wednesday, then dropped a 4-3 decision in the rubber match at Wrigley Field.

The Phillies travel back to the City of Brotherly Love to welcome in another solid opponent, the NL Central-leading Brewers. Vince Velasquez is winless in his last three starts for Philadelphia in spite of allowing four earned runs and striking out 24 batters in 16.1 innings of work. Milwaukee is looking to end a three-game slide as the Brewers have scored only four runs in their last 27 innings.

Hottest pitcher: Frankie Montas, Athletics (2-0, 0.64 ERA)

Only two starts into his Oakland tenure, Montas has dominated by yielding 10 hits and one run in 14 innings of work as the A’s have knocked off the Diamondbacks and Royals. The Dominican-born right-hander tossed eight innings in a 16-0 shutout of Kansas City last Friday as he squares off with the Royals again tonight. Oakland looks to improves on a 4-9 record in its past 13 home contests, as Montas is the only A’s starter currently on a two-game winning streak.

Coldest pitcher: Matt Harvey, Reds (1-4, 5.79 ERA)

It’s been a rough season for the former Mets’ standout, who was dealt to Cincinnati in May after failing to win a start in four outings. Harvey wasn’t terrible when he initially took the mound for the Reds, allowing four earned runs in 14 innings as Cincinnati posted a 3-0 record. However, the Dark Knight has gone backwards of late by getting tagged for nine runs in his last 10.1 innings of work in road losses at Colorado and San Diego. Harvey and the Reds host the Cardinals, as St. Louis has put together a perfect 7-0 record against its division rivals this season.

Biggest OVER run: Rockies (7-0-1 last eight)

Colorado returns home after failing to pull off the road sweep of Cincinnati after Thursday’s 7-5 walk-off loss in 13 innings. The Rockies’ offense continues to perform well by averaging 6.8 runs over the last 10 games, but the pitching has allowed an average of 8.0 runs in the past seven contests. Colorado hosts Arizona in a critical NL West showdown this weekend as right-hander German Marquez takes the mound in the opener. Marquez has struggled at Coors Field this season by compiling a 7.22 ERA, but the Rockies are 6-1 to the UNDER in his past seven starts against the Diamondbacks.

Biggest UNDER run: Mets (12-6 last 18)

This homestand (and recent month) has been an absolute disaster for the Mets following a promising start. Through six games against the Cubs and Orioles at Citi Field, the Mets have plated a total of seven runs, while losing all six contests. The pitching has been alright over the last three games by yielding five runs, but there is no update on when the offense will get going. Guess who’s coming to town tonight? The big, bad Yankees for three games as Masahiro Tanaka takes the mound opposite Mets’ ace Jacob deGrom. Tanaka has received nearly seven runs of support during his starts this season, while the Yankees have won each of his last seven outings. deGrom has seen the UNDER cash in seven of his last eight starts, but the Mets have scored three runs or less in six of his previous seven outings.

Matchup to watch: Braves vs. Dodgers

Atlanta remains on the west coast after dropping two of three games to streaking San Diego as the Braves travel to Los Angeles. The Dodgers are back at Chavez Ravine following a solid 5-1 road swing at Colorado and Pittsburgh, while scoring at least five runs in all six contests. Los Angeles enters this weekend right in the thick of the NL West race at 31-31, recovering from a 16-26 hole on May 16.

Walker Buehler heads to the mound for the Dodgers in the opener as Los Angeles has five of eight starts made by the right-hander this season. Buehler has been especially effective at Dodger Stadium by compiling a 1.44 home ERA, but the Dodgers have scored two runs or less in three of his four home outings. Los Angeles needs to pick things up at home by going 7-11 in its past 18 home contests dating back to late April.

Brandon McCarthy counters for Atlanta, as the righty is fresh off a pair of no-decisions in home losses to the Mets and Nationals. The former Dodger has given up two earned runs or less in three of his last four outings, while the Braves have won four of McCarthy’s six starts away from SunTrust Park this season. Atlanta has done a nice job of bouncing back off a loss recently by winning five straight off a defeat. Last season, the Braves captured the first two meetings over the Dodgers as heavy underdogs prior to Los Angeles winning four of the final five matchups.

Betcha didn’t know: The Angels have caught fire of late by winning four straight games, as Los Angeles hits the road to face Minnesota. The Halos have had their issues in road series openers by losing four straight Game 1’s away from Anaheim, while scoring three runs or less in all four losses.

Biggest public favorite: Red Sox (-300) vs. White Sox

Biggest public underdog: Diamondbacks (+100) at Rockies

Biggest line move: Marlins (-130 to -140) vs. Padres

Friday, June 8


Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Jacob deGrom, New York Mets (4-0, 1.49 ERA, $-467)

The money stat is just another example of how dominant deGrom has been, because he is always such a big favorite and unfortunately things tend to go belly up for the Mets when he hands over the ball. (Maybe First 5 Innings is the way to go with deGrom).

deGrom has a ridiculous 0.57 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP, while racking up 68 punch outs, with 15 walks allowed over his last eight starts.

deGrom is a rare +105 underdog tonight, as the Mets host the cross-town rival Yankees in a Subway Series this weekend. The total is 7.

Slumping: Chris Sale, Boston Red Sox (5-3, 3.00 ERA, $-456)

You probably never thought you’d see Sale in our slumping section, but that’s exactly what he’s been doing his last two starts.

The fire-balling southpaw has allowed 10 earned runs on 11 hits in his last two starts. Sale has an 8.71 ERA with a 1.45 WHIP in those two games and gave up two long balls. In fact, Sale has given up at least one home run in each of his last six starts.

Sale will look to bounce back as a massive -300 home favorite tonight against the Chicago White Sox. The total is currently 8.

Weather Watch

The forecast for Friday looks pretty great for those venturing to ball parks all across the Big Leagues, with just a pair of pitchers winds for bettors to take note of today:

There will be a 10-12 mile per hour wind blowing straight in from center field tonight at Globe Life Financial Ball Park in Arlington when the Rangers host the Astros. The total is currently 9.
At Target Field in Minnesota, there will be a 10-12 mile per hour wind gusting in from right field during the Twins game tonight when they host the Angels. The total is currently 9.

Ump of the Day

David Rackley: Our Ump of the Day is in an interesting spot on Friday night. Rackley will be calling balls and strikes in Tampa Bay on Friday night when the Rays host the Mariners, but both teams have had success with him officiating. The Rays are 6-0 in the last six games Rackley was behind home plate, while the Mariners are 7-0 in his last seven he has officaited for theirs. It might be the Rays who have the edge tonight however, as Rackley is quite the "Homer" ump. The home team is 51-24 in his last 75 games behind home plate. That is a cash rate of 68 percent. In 2018, home teams are a ridiculous 8-0, earning bettors $808, winning by an average margin of 3.3 runs per game. The Rays are slight +105 home dogs in this matchup.
