Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

— Four NFL referees have retired since the end of last season. 4 out of 17.

— Blue Jays’ closer Roberto Osuna gets suspended for 75 games; he can return August 4.

— Bryce Harper agreed to be in the Home Run Derby in Washington next month.

— Chris Webber was traded four times in his career, which raises some questions.

— Carmelo Anthony won’t opt out of his $27.9M deal for next year because, well, he’s not stupid.

— NHL Draft is in Dallas this year; they move it around the country. Smart.

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

13) NBA Summer League is coming up on July 6; the games are in Las Vegas, and you can bet on them. Caution is advised.

Few years ago, I’m at the Summer League in Cox Pavilion at UNLV and I’m sitting behind a guy who looks like a bodybuilder. Minnesota-Cleveland game is about to begin, and this fellow has bet on the Timberwolves. He is telling his buddy how Minnesota won easily the day before and how they should crush the Cavaliers in this game.

12) One small problem; Minnesota had 17 or 18 guys on its roster; the 8 or 9 who played the day before, when they won big, weren’t the 8 or 9 who were playing in this game. Cleveland wins by 8 or 10 points, which reminded me of Oscar Madison’s great quote from The Odd Couple:

“There is no such thing as a sure thing. Thats why they call it gambling.”

11) Colorado Rockies set an unenviable major league record by allowing 8+ runs in nine straight home games, a streak that ended Thursday.

10) Chad Bettis is having a bad season; he has a 9.69 RA in his last five starts, a 5.23 ERA for the season, but if you bet on the Rockies in the first 5 innings of all his starts, you would be 13-1-1.

Colorado is 9-6 in all his starts; over is 7-6-2; their bullpen has been lousy in his starts.

9) The new sports book at the Borgata in Atlantic City, NJ got really good reviews on ***********.

Sadly, here in New York State, our politicians have dragged their feet, so it looks like that there may not be any legal sports betting here until 2019. They’re losing a lot of money, since people will drive to New Jersey and spend their money in restaurants/bars in the Garden State.

8) NBA isn’t the only place for aspiring pro hoopers; guy named Malcolm Thomas, who used to play for San Diego State, is making $1.2M a year playing over in Russia.

7) Jameis Winston is making $705,000 this year, so his 3-game suspension will cost him 17.6% of that, or $124,080. Doubtful he will appeal, because if he did and it stretched out into 2019, then it could get way more expensive.

Winston will make $20.4M in 2019; 17.6% of that is $3,590,400. You do the math.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is Tampa Bay’s backup QB, by the way. He is 48-70-1 as an NFL starter, 2-1 with Tampa Bay last year. He’s played for seven different NFL teams.

6) Baseball’s All-Star break is a week later than usual this year, which means the NBA Summer League doesn’t coincide with the four days without baseball. That not good.

5) Barry Trotz is the 7th NHL coach to leave his team right after winning the Stanley Cup, most of any sport. Only one of those seven teams repeated as champ with their new coach, and that was after the first coach was diagnosed with brain cancer.

4) It is good to know people: ESPN has an NBA reporter named Brian Windhorst; his mom was Lebron James’ grade school Math teacher.

3) Birmingham, AL has a team in the new AAF; they’re only city that had teams in the WFL, USFL, WLAF, and XFL.

Here are the eight cities that will have teams in the AAF, a spring football league starting next year: Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis, Orlando. Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Antonio, San Diego.

2) NFL referee Gene Steratore is retiring and will likely land at CBS as a rules analyst- he worked the Super Bowl in February, so good time for him to move on. Wonder if he will keep refereeing big-time college basketball games.

1) In their last 17 series, San Diego Padres are 1-16 in series openers, 25-10 in other games.

Haves and Have Nots
There have been plenty of haves and have nots in baseball this season. There are four teams in particular who are awful, and great fade candidates night in and night out. It's no surprise that some of the worst teams in terms of run differential are also the worst in the majors as far as winning percentage. The Royals, Marlins, Orioles and Rangers are each in last place in their respective divisions, and the White Sox would also be in the basement in each of the other five divisions. Texas has actually been showing some signs of life in the win-loss column lately, chopping down their differential. But the other four teams are awful and showing no signs of turning things around. Enjoy!

Looking Ahead

Saturday, June 23
The Padres and Giants will continue their series in San Francisco. San Diego has had magic in the third game of a series, going 10-2 across their past 12 Game 3 of a series. However San Diego will be hard pressed to pick up the victory, as they're just 7-20 in the past 27 road games against a left-handed starter. They're also 0-4 in the past four vs. LHP. The Giants counter with Andrew Suarez, but they're 1-4 in his past five starts at home and 2-6 in his past eight overall. San Francisco is 10-3 across their past 13 at home while going 12-2 in their past 14 vs. RHP. The 'over' has connected in five of the past seven in this series.

If the Dodgers and Mets are able to get their game in (see below), the Dodgers could stay hot against the scuffling Mets. Los Angeles has posted a 9-1 record over the past 10 road games against a right-handed starting pitcher. They're also 8-3 in the past 11 overall vs. RHP while going 23-9 in the past 32 overall. After a slow start L.A. is rolling along and finally living up to preseason expectations. The Mets started out red hot but have been a dumpster fire lately. They're just 16-36 over the past 52 games while going 9-24 in their past 33 home games against a team with a winning record. They're also 7-20 in the past 27 home games. The Mets have really let down Jacob deGrom, as they're just 2-10 in his past 12 starts at home, and 1-5 in the past six overall. Citi Field has been a second home for the Dodgers, as they're 6-0 in their past six visits while going 11-1 in the past 12 meetings overall against the Dodgers. The 'under' has cashed in deGrom's past six starts against L.A., while going 4-1 in the past five battles in Queens.

In the only west coast game, the Blue Jays look to right the ship after a 2-1 setback to the Angels. The Jays haven't fared well on Saturday, going 2-8 in their past 10 on the day. They're also just 1-10 across the past 11 road outings while going 0-4 in the past four against American League West foes. They have also struggled with Marcus Stroman on the hill, going 0-4 in his past four starts while going 1-4 in his past five on the road. On the flip side, the Halos have been hot with a 7-1 mark across the past eight home outings. They're also 6-0 in the past six home games against a team with a losing record and 8-1 in their past nine home games vs. RHP. The 'under' is 3-1-1 in the past five meetings, while going 5-2-2 in the past nine in Anaheim.

Weather Report
The weather will affect the Steel City all afternoon, finally clearing up around 7 p.m. ET or so. The Diamondbacks and Pirates could have their 4:05 p.m. start delayed or interrupted by rain if they can get started. The winds will be blowing out to lft field at a 11-14 mph clip. Rain will also rear its ugly head in the nation's capital, affecting the Phillies and Nationals. There is a 50 percent chance of thunderstorms until 6 p.m., with a 30 percent chance for the following two hours. There could be delay in this one, too.

Rain won't be an issue in Atlanta and Cincinnati, but both parks will experience winds blowing out to left field from 10-13 mph.

The nationally televised games on Saturday night between the Mariners-Red Sox and Dodgers-Mets will experience thunderstorms. There are 50 percent or greater chances of rain in both cities well into the night. It wouldn't be surprising to see each battle pushed back to Sunday as part of a potential day-night doubleheader.

Sunday, June 24
Luke Weaver and Jhoulys Chacin will lock horns on Sunday afternoon. The Cardinals have posted an impressive 9-3 record across his past 12 road starts, while going 10-4 in his past 14 inside the division. However, they're 1-4 in his past five when working on four days of rest. Milwaukee has been on fire with Chacin on the bump, going 10-2 in his past 12 starts, including 5-0 in his past five starts at home. They're just 10-2 on his past 12 starts on grass, while going 4-1 in the past five inside the division. The 'under' is 4-0 in Weaver's past four on four days of rest, but the 'over' is 4-0 in his past four on the road. The under is the prevailing trend for Chacin and the Brewers. The under is 21-5-1 in the past 27 Sunday games, while going 5-1 in Chacin's past six starts at home and 7-2 in his past nine overall.

The Royals wrap up their set against the Astros and they'll face a familiar face, Justin Verlander. He hasn't faced the Royals this season, but he is 4-3 with a 3.28 ERA in 10 starts against Kansas City since the start of the 2015 season. The Royals are batting just .238 against Verlander over those 10 outings, walking 11 times and striking out 67 times across 71 1/3 innings. Kansas City is just 1-5 in the past six Sunday games, and they enter Saturday with a 5-21 mark in the past 26 against AL West foes. They're also 2-9 in the past 11 starts by Jason Hammel against AL West clubs.

The Phillies and Nationals will be playing under the lights in the nation's capital, and it could be the second end of a doubleheader if Mother Nature washes out Saturday's contest. The Phillies have closed out a series very well lately, going 4-0 in the past four in Game 3 of a series. While they're 1-4 in Nick Pivetta's past five starts, and 0-5 in his past five when working on five days of rest, they're 5-1 in his past six on a Sunday. They're also 8-2 in Pivetta's past 10 starts against a team with a winning record. Washington has managed a 1-4 mark across their past five on Sunday, while entering play Saturday with a 15-7 mark in the past 22 against a winning side.

Weather Report
The weather will be tricky for the M's-Red Sox game on Sunday afternoon, with a 50 percent chance of thunderstorms from 2 p.m. ET through the early-evening hours. In Atlanta, there is a 30 percent chance of rain from 2-4 p.m. ET for the O's-Braves finale.

In Cleveland rain won't be an issue, but the wind will be the biggest factor. Gusts from 11-14 mph will be blowing from left to right field. Winds will also be howling at a 15-18 mph clip from home plate to the left-center field power alley in San Francisco for the Padres-Giants battle.
