Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

Odds to win the ACC football championship:

1-2— Clemson Tigers

3-1— Miami Hurricanes

7-1— Florida State Seminoles

8-1— Virginia Tech Hokies

30-1— Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

40-1— Duke, Louisville, NC State

**********

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but…….

13) Cleveland Indians acquired relievers Brad Hand, Adam Cinder from the Padres, in exchange for hitting prospect Francisco Mejia, who is a catcher/OF. Cleveland’s bullpen is a mess, so this was necessary for the Tribe, while Yan Gomes’ resurgence made Mejia more expendable.

12) Washington plays Auburn on September 1st; over last seven years, there have been only 11 football games between SEC/Pac-12 teams. SEC is 8-3 in those 11 games, but Pac-12 teams won both meetings last season.

11) They experimented with a new rule at NBA Summer League; when a team got an offensive rebound, the shot clock re-set to 0:14, not 0:24. Makes sense; think that rule would have more of an impact in college than the pros.

10) If you like to make “first 5 innings” bets on Washington Nationals games, don’t play on the Nats when Tanner Roark pitches. Washington is 3-10 in Roark’s last 13 starts, 1-12 in the first five innings of those games.

9) Since 2013, UConn’s football team is 0-11 vs spread as a home favorite, 2-17 since 2011.

Since 2012, UNLV’s football team is 21-8 as a road underdog.

8) Remember when Blockbuster video stores were all over the place? There is only one left in the whole country now, in Bend, Oregon.

7) There is a statistic in college basketball called “Minutes Continuity” which measures how much the current players have played together. I find it pretty useful.

There are 351 Division I teams; here is UNLV’s minutes continuity the last five years:

334-347-310-350-311. Thats almost a whole new roster every season.

Here is Kentucky’s: 336-176-335-322-348.
Here is Duke’s: 207-266-334-180-339

Difference is, Duke/Kentucky are getting best freshmen in country, UNLV doesn’t. This year, their continuity should be a little better, and their record should improve. Last time Rebels had a winning record in the Mountain West was 2013-14.

6) By way of comparison, Loyola of Chicago made the Final Four last year, after having their first winning conference season in 11 years. Their minutes continuity? #82.

5) Denver Nuggets’ #1 draft pick Michael Porter Jr had another procedure done on his back last week; for a young kid, he’s had a lot of physical issues. Nuggets haven’t written off him playing this coming season, but he played only 2 or 3 games for Missouri last year.

4) Part of the reason there was such a scramble for QB’s in April’s NFL Draft is that this year’s crop of college QB’s is expected to be especially weak. Think about it: Oklahoma’s quarterback has already signed a pro baseball contract for next year.

Maybe things will change drastically once the games start next month, but for now, scouts are down on this year’s crop of signal callers.

3) Stephen Curry is the only player from the ’09 NBA draft still with his original team.

2) Oklahoma City traded Carmelo Anthony and a protected ’22 1st-round pick to Atlanta for PG Dennis Schroder, Mike Muscala. Anthony will be waived and become a free agent. A team that doesn’t care about defense will sign him.

Trade gives Oklahoma City gets huge salary and luxury tax savings, and having Schroder allows them to play Russell Westbrook off the ball for 20 or so minutes a game.

1) 5 ways to think like a champion, from best-selling author/motivational guru Jon Gordon:
a) Champions expect to win.
b) Champions celebrate the small wins.
c) Champions don’t make excuses when they don’t win.
d) Champions focus on what they get to do, not what they have to do.
e) Champions believe they will experience more wins in the future.

Friday's Diamond Notes
Kevin Rogers

Hottest team: Rockies (8-2 last 10)

The only division in baseball that showcases four teams with at least 50 wins at the All-Star break is the National League West. Arizona and Colorado hook up at Chase Field for a weekend set after the Rockies won the final five contests of a six-game homestand. Following a loss to the Diamondbacks in the opener, the Rockies captured the last two games, including a 19-2 blowout in Game 2 of that set. Colorado swept Seattle to finish 5-1 on the season against the Mariners, while owning a 5-2 mark in its past seven road contests.

In Friday’s opener, right-hander German Marquez will look to keep Colorado’s win streak alive. Marquez owns a 3-0 record in his last three starts, including an easy victory in that 17-run blowout of Arizona last Wednesday. The Rockies have won six of Marquez’s nine road assignments this season, including a victory at Chase Field as a +130 underdog on March 31.

Coldest team: Brewers (0-6 last six)

It’s a bitter taste in the mouths of the Brewers, who finished a promising first half with a thud. Milwaukee put together a successful 6-1 homestand to start July, but lost two of three at Miami, followed by getting swept in a rare five-game series at Pittsburgh. In the finale of the Pirates’ series, the Brewers squandered a late three-run lead in an extra-innings setback as Milwaukee has dropped into second place of the NL Central behind surging Chicago.

The task doesn’t get easier for the Brew Crew, who welcome in another hot squad in the Dodgers to Miller Park this weekend. Manny Machado is set to make his Dodgers’ debut after getting acquired by the Orioles on Thursday and he will help lead a lineup against Milwaukee southpaw Wade Miley. In three starts this season, the Brewers are 2-1 with Miley on the bump, while coming off a loss at Pittsburgh last Thursday in his previous outing.

Hottest pitcher: Dallas Keuchel, Astros (7-8, 3.75 ERA)

Three seasons removed from claiming the AL Cy Young award, Keuchel owns a 30-25 record since 2016. Following a rocky start to this season, Keuchel is returning to ace form by winning three consecutive starts. Even though those victories came against below .500 squads in the White Sox, Rangers, and Tigers, Keuchel has allowed three earned runs in the last 19 innings of work, while Houston has compiled a 6-1 mark in his past seven starts. Keuchel will be tested by a tough Angels’ club on Friday in Anaheim, as he has not faced L.A. this season, but Houston won both his starts against the Halos in 2017.

Coldest pitcher: Clayton Richard, Padres (7-8, 4.43 ERA)

San Diego won five consecutive starts made by the left-hander from late May through June. However, the Padres have dropped three of Richard’s last four starts, while allowing 15 runs in the past 24 innings of work. Richard had the unfortunate task of taking the mound for six consecutive road starts prior to a no-decision in a home defeat to the Cubs last weekend. The good news for Richard is the Padres won both of his starts against the Phillies last season, including a complete-game shutout at Petco Park last August.

Biggest OVER run: Reds (8-0 last eight)

Cincinnati returns home for the first time since July 4 as the Reds are coming off eight consecutive OVERS to finish off a nine-game road swing. Cincinnati’s offense continues to put up strong numbers since June as the Reds have scored four runs or more in 13 of the past 14 games. The Reds welcome in the rival Pirates on Friday as right-hander Tyler Mahle looks to bounce back after getting tagged for seven runs in 2.1 innings of a 19-4 drubbing at Cleveland last Wednesday.

Biggest UNDER run: Diamondbacks (6-1 last seven)

Arizona’s offense busted out for a 20-run performance against San Diego on July 7. In the last seven games combined, the D-backs have plated a total of 17 runs, including only six runs in a series victory at Atlanta prior to the All-Star break. The D-backs received a pair of terrific pitching performances in the first two wins over the Braves behind the Zack G connection of Zack Godley and Zack Greinke as they limited Atlanta to one run. Arizona has lost three consecutive home openers, while scoring three runs or less in each of those contests as the D-backs host the Rockies.

Matchup to watch: Giants vs. Athletics

The Bay Bridge Series continues in the East Bay after Oakland captured two of the first three matchups at San Francisco prior to the All-Star break. After getting blown out in the opener, 7-1, the A’s outscored the Giants, 10-5 in the final two games to close the first half with an incredible 15-4 record in their last 19 contests.

With the venue shifting to the Oakland Coliseum, rookie right-hander Dereck Rodriguez tries to stay on fire for San Francisco. Rodriguez is unbeaten in his last five starts, while tossing three scoreless innings in a 5-4 extra-innings triumph over the Cubs on July 11. Rodriguez is making his first start since July 6, as he has allowed three earned runs in his last three starts (20 innings pitched).

Edwin Jackson is pitching for his 14th team in his 16th season as the veteran right-hander was on the losing end of a 7-1 defeat to Madison Bumgarner and the Giants last Friday night. Jackson wasn’t bad as he yielded two earned runs for the third straight start, but the offense couldn’t get going against Bumgarner. The A’s look to improve on a 6-1 record in their past seven home contests, while splitting a pair of home matchups with the Giants last season.

Betcha didn’t know: The Yankees have grabbed six of the last seven matchups with the Mets in the “Subway Series” since the start of 2017. Granted, the Bronx Bombers didn’t face Noah Syndergaard in any of those games, as the Mets’ right-hander heads to the mound on Friday night at Yankee Stadium. Syndergaard hasn’t seen the Yankees since a 5-0 home loss in 2015, while “Thor” last won as a road underdog in 2016 against the Cubs.

Biggest public favorite: Mariners (-205) vs. White Sox

Biggest public underdog: Angels (+115) vs. Astros

Biggest line move: Indians (-175 to -190) at Rangers

Cards-Cubs Kick Off 2nd Half

The Chicago Cubs host the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night at Wrigley Field and it's the only game in town. There are some amazing total trends for bettors to pay attention to, however. The 'over' is 5-1 in the past six games for the Cardinals, and 4-0 in their past four inside the National League Central Division. In addition, the over is 4-0 in the past four against right-handed starting pitchers, while going 5-1 in the past six for Carlos Martinez. The over has cashed in five of Martinez's past seven road outings against a team with a winning record, too, while going 13-3-1 in his past 17 overall against teams with a winning mark. The over is also 5-0-1 in the past six starts by Martinez against the Cubbies. The wind will also be blowing out to left field at 10-13 mph, making it more difficult for the pitchers to keep the ball in the yard.

As far as the Cubs are concerned, the over has been good for them lately, too. The over is 4-0 in their past four games overall, while going 4-0 in their past four against right-handed starting pitchers.

The under has hit in 12 of his past 15 starts against NL Central opponents, while going 19-8 in his past 27 starts overall. The under is 22-4-1 in his past 27 home outings against a team with a winning overall record, and 15-3 in his past 18 while working on four days of rest, too.

Betting On The Wind

In the matinee battle between the Cards and Cubs, the wind is forecast to be blowing out to left field from 11-14 mph. That will aid in the 'over' as long as the thunderstorms hold off.

The Braves and Nationals will be dealing with 10-13 mph winds blowing out to left field, as Home Run Derby champion Bryce Harper looks to kick off the second half on a high note.

In Cincinnati and Detroit, the winds will be blowing in to help the pitchers. The Red Sox-Tigers will be battling 14-17 mph winds blowing in from straightaway center field to home plate. The winds will be humming from right field to home plate for the Bucs-Reds at a 10-13 mph clip. Both cities face a 40-50 percent chance of rain, so a delay or postponement is possible.

The Indians and Reds won't be dealing with precipitation, but sweltering heat and winds. The gametime temp at Globe Life Park is forecast to be 107 degrees, 'cooling' off to 101 by 9pm CDT. The winds will be howling from right field to home plate at 11-14 mph.

Lastly, the winds will be helping batters for the Giants and Athletics, blowing out to right field from 13-16 mph.

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Dallas Keuchel, Houston Astros (7-8, 3.75 ERA, $-240)

Keuchel has been somewhat of the forgotten man in the Astros rotation, thanks to a slow start and some other-worldly performances by his teammates. But Houston’s original ace is getting back on track.

The former Cy Young Award winner is 3-0 in his last three starts with a 1.35 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP. He has allowed two or fewer runs in five of his last six starts and has allowed zero in three of those contests.

Keuchel and the Astros are slight -118 road faves tonight in Anaheim against the Angels.

Slumping: Dylan Bundy, Baltimore Orioles (6-9, 4.35 ERA, $-464)

Bundy has been one of the lone bright spots of what has been a dismal season in Baltimore, but even he is going through a rough patch.

The right-hander has a bloated 7.90 ERA and a 2.05 WHIP, while surrendering a .418 OBP to opponents over his last three starts.

Bundy and the Orioles are currently +141 road dogs tonight in Toronto versus the Blue Jays.
