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

13) Social media can be pretty cool sometimes. Sunday, when John Tavares signed with the Maple Leafs, a disgruntled Islanders’ fan posted a pic of his Tavares jersey and said “I don’t think I can wear this jersey again and it kills me. At nearly 47 years old I should know better, but I am devastated.”

I responded that he shouldn’t burn the jersey, just give it to a kid or put it up on eBay.

Little while later, the guy posts a pic of him putting the jersey into a Goodwill bin, which is great; a kid will get the jersey and enjoy it. Congrats to that guy for making the effort.

12) Every time the Red Sox win a game, they post a photo that defines that game on the wall in manager Alex Cora’s lineup. Excellent idea, actually, like a roadmap thru the season.

11) Some of the Minnesota Twins had problems with the heat in Chicago this weekend; can you imagine what driving in a NASCAR race, with that big suit on, must be like on a 95-degree day?

Twins scored 25 runs in three games at Wrigley Field and didn’t win any of them; Sunday’s 11-10 final was only close game, and that was only because Minnesota scored five runs in top of the 8th. Dismal weekend for the Twins.

10) On July 1, the Mets sent a check for $1,193,248.20 to Bobby Bonilla- they have to do that every year through 2035. If things get much worse for them, the Mets might ask Bonilla to suit up again, and he is 55 now.

9) Pirates lost 4-3 in San Diego late Saturday; they had tying run on 3rd with no one out, but with one out, a foul fly was hit down the RF line. Hunter Renfroe caught the ball as he bumped into the wall in foul territory, but Marte never tagged up and couldn’t try to score.

8) Gio Gonzalez is having a solid major league career- he is 123-91 in the majors, but he was traded by the White Sox twice, once in December ’05, then again two years later. That does not happen much. White Sox got Jim Thome, Nick Swisher back in the two trades- Gio was part of a package in both deals.

7) Sounds like Portland, OR is eager for a major league baseball team, whether it be an expansion team or the Oakland A’s moving north. They’re going to build a 34,000-seat stadium in Portland and they’ve done a great job supporting the NBA’s Trailblazers over the years.

6) QB Ben Miles, son of former LSU coach Les Miles, is transferring from Nebraska to Texas A&M. There is some history between Les Miles and Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher; Fisher was an offensive coordinator at LSU working under Miles in 2005, 2006.

5) Former Colorado State basketball coach Larry Eustachy got the first of three $250,000 payments Sunday- they are part of his settlement after being fired by the Rams last season.

4) Milwaukee Brewers sent SS Orlando Arcia to AAA for the second time this year; the first time they sent him down, his replacement sprained his ankle a couple days later so he came right back to Milwaukee, but with Arcia batting .197, he figures to stay in Colorado Springs for a while now.

3) Rays 3, Astros 2— Houston scored seven runs in the four-game series, going 1-3. Tampa Bay is 42-41, and Kevin Cash should be Manager of the Year.

2) 97 degrees today at Armadillo World HQ (heat index was 106), might hit 100 tomorrow; not even a dry heat, like you find in Las Vegas. Heat is better than snow, but everything in moderation……

1) There is a young lady, maybe 9-10 years old, who was born with a deformed right hand, but now she uses a robotic hand— she is traveling around the country, throwing out the first pitch at various major league ballparks. Philadelphia was her 17th major league ballpark Sunday; good for her!!!

Motor City Blackout
For many years the Detroit Tigers had a feared offensive lineup and outstanding starting pitching. Their biggest issue was the bullpen, something that held them back from accomplishing great things. Now, it is a lack of offense which is their biggest bugaboo. Detroit enters the new week averaging just 3.0 runs per game over the past 10 outings, and that includes a nine-run outburst in Sunday's spoiling of Canada Day in Toronto. It is nothing new, either, as if you go back 24 games to June 5, they're only slightly better at 3.29 runs per contest. As you might imagine, the 'under' has been a frequent happening for the Tigers, going 17-8 across their past 25 tilts.

The Tigers will play an afternoon affair in Toronto on Monday, as the Canada Day festivities spill over into the first day of the week. The 'under' has connected in 13 of the past 18 road games for the Tigers, and is 5-1-1 in the past seven overall when Mike Fiers is on the hill. The under is also 5-2 in their past seven overall against teams with a left-handed starting pitcher. For the Jays, the 'over' has been the rule lately, but the under is 7-3 in their past 10 following a loss, and 4-1 in the past five against a team with a losing overall record. And seven of the past 10 meetings at Rogers Centre have resulted in an 'under' result between these two sides.

Looking Ahead

Monday, July 2
The novelty of interleague play has certainly worn off over the years, but Monday kicks off a huge slate of AL vs. NL tilts, with many more series starting on Tuesday.

The Rays and Marlins battle for Sunshine State supremacy, and both teams have had a little to crow about lately. The Rays have picked up victories in eight of their past nine games overall, while going 7-1 in their past eight played on a Monday. In addition, they're 5-0 in the past five against teams with a losing overall record, 5-0 in their past five against left-handed starting pitching and 5-1 in their past six road outings vs. LHP. However, they're also a dismal 2-7 in their past nine against NL East foes, 2-7 in their past nine interleague games overall and 2-11 in their past 13 on the road. They're also just 1-4 in Nathan Eovaldi's past five outings. Miami has won seven of their past nine interleague battles vs. RHP, and they're 11-4 in Wei-Yin Chen's past 15 at home. However, they are also 4-9 in their past 13 interleague home games, including just 1-5 in the past six at Marlins Park against the Rays. Tampa is an impressive 9-4 in the past 13 meetings overall. The 'under' is also 12-4-2 in the past 18 meetings in Miami, and 5-2 in the past seven overall.

The Red Sox roll into the nation's capital to battle the Nationals in what could possible be an October preview. It's a good pitching matchup, too, with Rick Porcello and Max Scherzer doing battle. The BoSox are 9-4 over Porcello's past 13 road outings, and 11-1 in his past 12 starts against the National League. They have also been successful in five straight interleague road contests, while going 36-15 in the past 51 vs. NL East clubs. Boston is also 44-18 in the past 62 vs. RHP, and 39-16 in the past 55 on the road against righties. Washington is in a bit of a tailspin, losing five of their past six overall. An interleague home game and a start by Scherzer might be the elixir to cure their ills.

The Nationals are 5-2 in their past seven interleague home games, while going 14-4 in the past 18 games played on a Monday. More importantly, the Nats are 16-5 across Scherzer's past 21 starts and 14-3 in his past 17 when leading his team into a new series. He is working on five days of rest, and the team is 22-6 in Scherzer's past 28 on full rest, too. With two solid pitchers, many might not be thinking 'over', but the over has hit in the past six meetings between these two in D.C., while going 9-2 in the past 11 meetings overall.

Weather Report
There is a slight weather concern for the interleague series opener in Cincinnati between the White Sox and Reds. Chances of an isolated thunderstorm are around 30 percent for the first two-thirds of the game, but no postponement is expected in this one.

The weather will cooperate in all other Major League Baseball venues on Monday, and the winds will be rather tranquil, too. The forecast is for winds at or below 10 mph everywhere. Enjoy!

Tuesday, July 3
The Orioles take the short jaunt up I-95 (ahh, they'll still probably fly) for an interleague series opener with the Phillies. Alex Cobb hasn't been the shot in the arm the team was hoping for, and the O's are just 3-11 over his past 14 starts and 2-5 in his past seven against a team with a winning overall mark. The O's are a dismal 6-17 across their past 23 interleague games, and 14-43 in the past 57 on the road. In addition, they're 14-43 in the past 57 against a right-handed starter, too. Zach Eflin has been pitching well for the Phillies, and Philadelphia is a perfect 5-0 across his past five outings. Overall the Phils have won four of the past five at hoem, and they're 12-5 in the past 17 vs. RHP.

It isn't John Tavares going from New York to Toronto, but there will be a homecoming on Tuesday when the Mets and Blue Jays square off. Jose Bautista makes his return to Rogers Centre in what should be an emotional return. Mets fans are emotional about the play of the team lately, too -- mostly angry or sad. New York is 1-5 in the past six on the road, 0-7 in their past seven interleague road outings and 3-11 in their past 14 against losing sides. They're also just 7-20 in the past 27 vs. RHP. They'll roll Zack Wheeler out against Marco Estrada, but that could be a disaster. The Mets are 1-10 over Wheeler's past 11 starts, and 0-5 in his past five on five days of rest. Conversely, not counting Monday's game, the Blue Jays are 10-2 over their past 12 at home and 5-1 in the past six interleague battles. While they are 2-7 in Estrada's past nine starts, including 2-5 in the past seven at home, they have posted a 5-1 record in his past six against losing squads and 5-1 in the past six vs. NL East teams, too.

Both Andrew Heaney of the Angels and Wade LeBlanc of the Mariners were tuned up in their most recent outing. They'll look to right the ship againts each other at Safeco on Tuesday. The Angels are 0-8 in their past eight vs. LHP, and 3-11 in the past 14 on the road after a blistering start away from home earlier in the season. They're also just 2-6 in Heaney's past eight assignments, and 3-13 in his past 16 on the road. They have won just once over his past five inside the division, too. The M's have won five of the past six overall, and they're 20-6 in their past 26 in SoDo. More impressively, the Mariners are a sizzling 12-0 in LeBlanc's past 12 starts at home, while going 13-3 in his past 16 overall, including 4-1 in the past five inside the division.

Weather Report
It is shaping up as a great early-week forecast in Major League Baseball. There are no precipitation threats on Tuesday, although wind will be a factor in Oakkland. The wind will be humming from home plate to the right-center field power alley at a 14-17 mph clip, so watch for a potential 'over' there with wind-aided extra-base hits. Elsewhere, no precip and winds all less than 10 mph, or 16 kilometers per hour, in hono(u)r of Canada Day.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTING PITCHERS

Streaking: Madison Bumgarner, San Francisco Giants (1-2, 2.51 ERA, $-204)

Bumgarner got off to a rough start in his return from injury but has turned things around in a big way, posting almost identical gems against San Diego (8 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 8 K) and Colorado (7 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 8 K) to move closer to the break-even point from a profit perspective. He has also been a great under play, with the Giants going below the total in four of his five starts.

Pitching at Coors Field is a much different adventure than toeing the rubber at AT&T Park, but Bumgarner is still a good play at -129 against the host Rockies; just don't expect another shutout performance in this one.

Slumping: Kyle Gibson, Minnesota Twins (2-6, 3.48 ERA, $-275)

The good times have come to an end for Gibson, who was a terrific value play early in the season but has seen the Twins drop six of his previous eight starts – with five of those defeats coming as the favorite. Gibson is on the periphery of becoming one of the 50 worst qualified pitchers in baseball with regard to value, and still hasn't won a home start this season.

While Gibson has been much better on the road (2-2. 2.60 ERA) than at home (0-4, 4.53), he still isn't a recommended play at +127 against Brent Suter and the host Milwaukee Brewers.
