Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

— Going into Sunday’s games, big league pitchers were batting .112 this season

— Texas Tech beat Florida, Arkansas beat Texas in the College World Series.

— Astros went 10-0 on a 3-city road trip to Texas, Oakland, Kansas City.

— Bryce Harper is a free agent this winter; he is hitting .217 right now. Not good.

— Oakland A’s are 36-36 with 90 games left and I’m OK with that.

— If the baseball playoffs started today:
AL: New York-Cleveland-Houston. Wild Cards: Boston-Seattle
NL: Atlanta-Milwaukee-Arizona. Wild Cards: Chicago-Washington

Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend

13) Brooks Koepka is first guy since Curtis Strange in 1988-89 to win the US Open two years in a row; he has only one other Tour win, the 2015 Phoenix Open.

12) Rangers 13, Rockies 12— Horrendous pitching in this game; Colorado closer Davis walked four guys in 0.1 IP, then gave up the game-winning single to a 3rd-string catcher as Texas scored four times in the ninth inning for the comeback win.

11) Single-season record for most home runs by a team is 264, set by the 1997 Mariners. That record could easily fall this year.

10) Rookie QB Chris Streveler started for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers this week; he is the first rookie QB straight out of college to start a Week 1 CFL game since 1994, when Anthony Calvillo did it in 1994, playing for the Las Vegas Posse.

Yes, for a while in the 90’s, the CFL had teams in America; I think Baltimore won a CFL title.

Calvillo is now a CFL Hall of Famer.

9) Read on the Interweb this week that the country of Iceland has roughly the same amount of people as Santa Ana, CA.

Only thing I know about Iceland is that when Bobby Fischer played Boris Spassky for the world chess championship in the early 70’s, it was held in Iceland, in a town called Reykjavík, and I had to look up that spelling. Long way to go to play chess.

8) Giancarlo Stanton’s OPS in his nine-year career:
2010: .833, 2011: .893, 2012: .969, 2013: .845, 2014: .950, 2015: .952

Then the last three years: 2016: .815, 2017: 1.005, 2018: .798

He used to get hurt a lot, now he just seems unsure at the plate; too much film study?

7) Keith Hernandez was saying on TV last week that if he was still playing, he couldn’t do the all the film work that modern players do, as far as studying pitchers. Ron Darling came out and said that if a player now doesn’t want to do it, he is viewed as a malcontent by the team.

6) Giants 4, Dodgers 1— Giants scored five runs in their first six games at Dodger Stadium this season, but salvaged the last game of this series.

5) Kelly Johnson is the only ballplayer who played for all five AL East teams.

4) Go to Deadspin’s Twitter account and find the GIF of the fan at the Montreal-BC Lions CFL game Saturday who ran on the field during the game. A defensive back on the Lions absolutely crushed the guy, laid him out. I’m sure when he sobered up, it hurt like hell.

3) In top of 8th inning in Milwaukee Sunday, a Brewers reliever named Adrian Houser was puking his guts out behind the mound. Somehow, he finished the inning. He looked like Jamie Foxx in Any Given Sunday, when the backup QB barfed on the field before he started to play.

2) Most greeting cards sold, by holiday:
1) Christmas 2) Valentine’s Day 3) Mother’s Day 4) Father’s Day

1) NBA Draft is Thursday, so that’ll be in the news a lot. Most interesting player in the draft is probably Slovenian Luka Doncic. He is a 19-year old wing who played for Real Madrid in the EuroLeague this past season. ESPN’s Seth Greenberg tweeted Sunday that he is a better passer than Lonzo Ball, as well as a better shooter .

His description of Doncic: “ a bigger Lonzo Ball with jumper, a better feel for reading ballscreens and the toughness of a grown man.”

They suffered a 3-1 loss against the Tigers on Sunday, and they have averaged just 2.7 runs per game across the past 10 outings. Chicago's pitching has stepped up lately, as they have yielded just 3.2 runs per outing. That's going to help the 'under' come in quite frequently. Their Windy City brethren, the Cubs, have also had the 'under' hit quite frequently lately. Outside of a 13-run explosion in the series-opening win on Friday, the under is 7-3 across the past 10 outings. The Cubs have been shut out three times in the past five outings, and they have scored three or fewer goals in five of their past 13 outings.

Chat Room
The Chicago Cubs will roll out RHP Tyler Chatwood against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night. He hasn't faced L.A. this season, but he is very familiar with the Dodgers from his time with the Colorado Rockies. Chatwood is 2-5 with a 4.82 ERA over seven starts and one relief appearances against Los Angeles since the start of the 2015 season with 34 strikeouts and 27 walks over 37 1/3 innings while the Dodgers are hitting .250 against him during the span. It won't be easy for Chatwood to turn things around against L.A., as RHP Kenta Maeda is 2-1 with a 3.86 ERA in four starts and a relief appearance on the road this season.

Looking Ahead

Monday, June 18
As mentioned above, the Dodgers and Cubs will battle on Monday night at Wrigley Field. The Dodgers roll into the game with a 10-1 record over their past 11 road games against a team with a winning record while going 9-1 in their past 10 road games overall. They have also been starting series very hot lately, going 7-0 in their past seven series openers. L.A. is also an impressive 17-5 in the past 22 against teams with a winning overall mark, as they look to turn things around after a slow start to the season. The Dodgers are also Maeda's past seven against NL Central foes. The Cubs are looking for revenge against the Dodgers for a loss in the National League Championship Series last season. While Chatwood has struggled against the Dodgers in recent seasons, the Cubs are 4-1 in his past five home outings while goling 14-6 in their past 20 games overall. The Dodgers have dominated, going 7-1 in the past eight meetings between these sides, while the 'under' is 14-3 in the past 17 meetings at Wrigley Field.

Across the Keystone State in Philadelphia the Cardinals and Phillies will be locking horns. The precipitation will also be nil, but winds will be blowing out from 10-13 mph from home plate to straightaway center field at Citizens Bank Park.

If they are able to squeeze the game in, the winds will be howling from 10-13 mph from home plate to right field.

In Chicago there is a 50 percent chance of thunderstorms, dying down to 30 percent or less by 9pm CDT. The winds will be blowing in from left field to first base, knocking down any fly balls.

Tuesday, June 19
The Orioles and Nationals will renew acquaintances in their interleague rivalry on Tuesday night.

They're 0-9 in their past nine interleague games against teams with a winning record, 0-5 in their past five interleague road outings against a team with a winning mark and 2-7 in their past nine interleague road assignments overall. Washington hasn't fared well in interleague games lately, either, going 1-4 in their past five heading into Monday's continuation of a game against the Nationals. However, Washington has taken advantage when playing the dregs of the league, going 48-23 in the past 71 games against teams with a winning percentage under .400. Washington has won five straight meetings against Baltimore, while going 'under' has hit in four in a row.

San Diego has won four of their past five at home, but they're just 1-5 in their past six against the American League west, while winning just once in the past six interleague battles. Oakland has rattled off five wins in the past six trips to Petco Park, while going 8-3 in the past 11 meetings overall. Total bettors will like the fact the 'over' is 6-1 in the past seven at Petco, and 9-3 in the past 12 meetings overall.

Weather Report
The weather looks pretty good for most of the country outside of the Midwest. In Cincinnati, the Tigers and Reds will be looking at 40 percent chances of thunderstorms from 8-10pm ET. The same holds true for the Dodgers and Cubs at Wrigley Field, with 50 percent chances of storms dying down to 40 percent by 9pm CDT. If and when they do start, those west-southwest winds will be blowing in from left field to home plate again from 9-12 mph.

The winds will be gusting again in Kansas City, blowing 12-15 mph with temperatures flirting with the 100-degree mark. No precip in San Francisco, either, but the Marlins-Giants will again experience gusts from 14-17 mph to the left-center field power alleys.

Everyone's favourite PED user is slowly walking to the mound at Kauffman Stadium tonight for the Texas Rangers. 'Big Sexy' Bartolo Colon is still getting paid to be a starting pitcher in the majors and wow is he stealing money.

In June, Colon is sporting a 12.71 ERA in three starts and only thrown 11.1 innings. The scary stat is he's only struck out eight batters and allowed 6 home runs during this stretch.
