Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Odds to be the next NFL coach fired:

+$275— Hue Jackson, Cleveland

+$600— Vance Joseph, Denver

+$650— Adam Gase, Miami

+$800— Dirk Koetter, Tampa Bay

+$900— Marvin Lewis, Cincinnati

+$1200— Todd Bowles, Jets

**********

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud…..

13) Dodgers-Phillies played a 16-inning game Tuesday, with LA using Kike Hernandez as a pitcher in the 16th- they would’ve used starter Rich Hill if they had the lead, but they didn’t and they basically gave a game away.

Game took 5:55 to play, ended after 1am, then teams had quick turnaround, playing a day game on Wednesday. Dodgers’ AAA team is in Oklahoma City, so tough to get another arm in town quickly. Phillies’ AAA team is closely in Lehigh Valley, easier for them.

12) Cardinals were in Cincinnati this week; they started pitchers Monday/Tuesday who were both making their first MLB start. Neither pitcher allowed a hit in the first six innings, but neither pitcher got a win, either.

11) Maui Classic is loaded this November: first round matchups are…….
Auburn-Xavier, Duke-San Diego State, Arizona-Iowa State, Gonzaga-Illinois.

Thats three pretty solid days/nights of TV watching for me.

10) Former Penn Quakers basketball coach Jerome Allen allegedly took bribes from a Miami businessman who wanted his son to get into Penn “as a recruited basketball player” which would increase his chance of being admitted to the prestigious school.

When the father was accused of health-care fraud, money laundering, conspiracy and bribery a while back, the government uncovered more than $74,000 in gifts that the father gave to coach Allen in 2013 and 2014.

The son got into Penn and still goes there; he never played on the basketball team. Allen got fired three years ago and is now one of Brad Stevens’ assistants in the NBA with the Celtics.

9) Tampa Bay beat the Bronx Bombers 3-2 Wednesday; they brought in a lefty reliever in the last inning, moved Sergio Romo to 3B for a batter, so Romo could come back and face the next hitter. Romo struck out Brett Gardner to end the game; Kevin Cash is doing an amazing job, having that roster at 52-50.

8) Bronx catcher Gary Sanchez got pummeled on social media Monday night after he failed to hustle on a couple of key plays that were important in a 7-6 Tampa Bay win.

Sanchez is a lousy defensive catcher who is hitting .188; why is he the starter? If he’s not going to hustle, why is he even in the major leagues?

Tuesday, Sanchez was put on the DL with a groin injury, which diffuses the issue. Whether he is really hurt or just getting 10 days off to shut the media up is open for debate.

7) Random trivia: An actor named John Hurt has 207 movie/TV credits to his name; he died in 43 different movies, which appears to be the all-time record.

6) Obscure TV/movie trivia: I’m watching an old Law and Order re-run the other night, from the series’ first year or two— one of the opposing lawyers is the guy who played the manager of the baseball team in Bull Durham. So I look the actor up on the Interweb.

Turns out that the Law and Order episode was Trey Wilson’s last acting job; he died from a cerebral hemorrhage a few weeks before his 41st birthday, only a couple years after he made Bull Durham. 41 is way too young to die.

5) Angels are wasting Mike Trout’s prime; Angels lost 5-3 to the White Sox Monday night, with Trout walking four times and hitting a sac fly. Five plate appearances, no official AB’s.

Justin Upton usually hits behind Trout; he’s come to bat with 309 men on base and knocked in only 36 of them (19 of 48 from 3rd base). Knocking in 11.7% of baserunners isn’t good for the guy you have batting cleanup.

4) Baseball doings:
— Red Sox acquired P Nathan Eovaldi from Tampa Bay for rookie P Jaylen Beeks.
— Mets put Yoenis Cespedes (heel) back on the DL. He’ll have surgery and may not even be back for the start of next season.
— A’s P Kendall Graveman (elbow) will have Tommy John surgery
— Orioles sent P Zach Britton to division rival New York, getting three pitching prospects in return: Dillon Tate, Josh Rogers, and Cody Carroll. Tate is 5-2, 3.38 in 15 Eastern League starts (AA level) this season.

3) Looking at an action chart for Week 1 NFL games, Texans-Patriots is getting most evenly balanced action at William Hill books. 52% of play is on New England (-6.5).

Most one-sided action is on the Falcons (+4.5, 95% of $$ bet), Colts (-2.5, 92%).

2) Cleveland QB Baker Mayfield got a $21.85M signing bonus; a 4-year, $32.68M fully guaranteed deal overall. Mayfield told his agent not to quibble on some contract details so he could be in camp on Day 1 to compete for the starting job.

1) Teams that use defensive shifts the least: Angels, Rangers, Cubs.

When Joe Maddon managed in Tampa, he was at forefront of using shifts, so thats an interesting change.

Thursday's Diamond Notes
Tony Mejia

Hottest team: Pirates (11-1 last 12, 13-2 +1370 last 15)

Even though their 11-game run was snapped by Trevor Bauer and Cleveland in a 4-0 loss on Wednesday afternoon, the Pirates still deserve respect as the league’s hottest team despite no longer owning baseball’s longest winning streak. The A's have won seven of eight, including five straight, but we'll discuss their exploits below. Although Oakland's comebacks have been impressive, the Bucs have outscored opponents 84-37 over the last 15 contests, a stretch in which the team’s starting pitchers have compiled an ERA of under 2.50.

Offensively, Pittsburgh’s 31 homers are tied with the Yankees for most in July. Leadoff hitter Corey Dickerson, the left fielder, missed yesterday’s game due to a hamstring tweak. Standout center fielder Starling Marte exited Wednesday after being drilled by Trevor Bauer pitch in the first inning. Both may miss this series opener. Mets lefty Steven Matz has surrendered just two homers in four starts this month but has nonetheless lost in his last three appearances. The Pirates haven’t dropped two straight since July 6-7 and send rookie Nick Kingham to the mound for his first career encounter with the Mets. He's given up seven homers over 21.2 innings this month but is 3-1 with a 2.90 ERA at PNC Park. Pittsburgh is heavily favored (-160) at home against New York.

Coldest team: Rangers (4-15, -1195 last 19)

After blowing a 10-2 lead that it took into the seventh inning on Tuesday by giving up 11 unanswered runs, Texas managed to top itself in adding to its misery when Jose Leclerc surrendering a go-ahead two-run HR to Khris Davis on Wednesday with victory only one strike away. Davis won Tuesday's game with a 3-run blast off in the 10th after closer Keone Kela surrendered a Stephen Piscotty homer to lead off the ninth to blow the save.

Kela should be available again after being asked to get five outs on Tuesday, so the Rangers will likely have their closer in the mix if they're in position to avoid a sweep. Oakland is now a season-high 17 games over .500 after a 26-7 run since June 16 and have rallied from behind 17 times per the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser. Davis has homered in four consecutive contests and six straight games against Texas. He's up to 27 HRs and is batting .333 over nine career at-bats against Rangers starter Bartolo Colon (5-8, 4.85), connecting on one dinger. Texas has lost five of its last six series and is an underdog (+125) here. Most books list the A's at -135.

Hottest pitcher: Dereck Rodriguez, Giants (5-1, 2.72 ERA)

The Giants rookie, son of Hall of Famer Ivan Rodriguez, has wasted no time getting comfortable in the bigs. The 26-year-old has looked poised beyond his years and has helped San Francisco win eight of his 10 starts, including seven consecutively. In that span, he’s 5-0, surrendering just two homers and nine earned runs over 41 innings. He hasn’t faced any Brewers hitters in the majors but is hoping to remain perfect at AT&T Park, where he’s 3-0 with a 2.28 ERA over five career games. Counterpart Wade Miley (1-1, 1.56) shut out the Dodgers threw six innings in his last start, but the Brewers are an underdog here (+105). The Giants are slightly favored (-115) as they open a four-game set against Milwaukee before venturing back out on the road for six games against NL West opponents.

Coldest pitcher: Jake Junis, Royals (5-10, 5.03 ERA)

The second-year righty had won 13 of his first 18 decisions after improving to 4-2 with a strong performance against the Tigers on May 6 but is just 1-8 since. His only victory came on May 18 vs. the same Yankees team he’ll square off against tonight. Junis’ ERA has climbed over 1.5 runs since he saw the Bronx Bombers last, which includes opening July by giving up nine runs (eight earned) at home against the Rangers. He immediately went on the disabled list due to a sore back and surfaced again last Saturday, giving up one run over four innings against the Twins.

Junis was limited by a pitch count but didn’t let up a homer after allowing 12 over a five-start span from June 8-July 2, suffering a loss each time out. Kansas City is counting on him rebounding over the final few months so this is a big start for him and counterpart Sonny Gray, who has put together wins in consecutive starts for the first time since joining the Yanks last August. New York is heavily favored (-250) in the Bronx, where Junis was touched up for six runs over 5.2 innings in an 11-3 loss last Sept. 25. The Royals are Thursday’s biggest underdog (+240)

Biggest OVER run: Twins (10-5 last 15)

After scoring six runs in the 11th inning to sweep the Blue Jays in Toronto, the Twins will wrap up a 10-game road trip at Fenway, opening a four-game set. The 12 runs Minnesota scored on Wednesday were a season-best as Mitch Garver came up with a career-high five RBI, banging out four hits. The Twins won two of three in Minneapolis when the teams met from June 19-21 and the ‘over’ hit in two of the contests. Kyle Gibson (4-7, 3.57) has been decent for the past few months and squares off against Boston lefty Brian Johnson, who will be moving back into the bullpen to make way for the newly acquired Nathan Eovaldi following this start. Boston had a 5-0 lead through two innings in Baltimore but ended up rained out. The total has been set at 10.

Biggest UNDER run: Diamondbacks (10-3 last 13)

The Diamondbacks have allowed just five runs over the last four games. Despite failing to sweep the Cubs after a 2-1 loss on Wednesday, Robbie Ray pitched seven innings and allowed a single run, becoming the fourth straight Snakes starter to come through with a quality start. Zack Greinke got the run started, Patrick Corbin followed it up Monday and Clay Buchholz pitched into the seventh on Tuesday so the bullpen is in fantastic shape as they send Zack Godley (11-6, 4.65) to the mound to oppose Tyler Chatwood (4-5, 4.84), the major-league leader in walks.

Matchup to watch: Dodgers vs. Braves

The National League race is tightly-packed, featuring 11 teams that have picked up 50 or more wins. The Dodgers lead the NL West by a half-game while the Braves trail the Phillies by 1.5 in the NL East, so the fact they’re basically even illustrates why all eyes will be on this four-game set all weekend.

L.A. won two of three when these teams met at Dodger Stadium from June 8-10 and is wrapping up a 10-game road trip, closing a stretch that has seen them play 17 of 20 outside Chavez Ravine. They’re 7-6 away from home in July so far and need at least a split to post their third consecutive winning month on the road. Atlanta is opening up a seven-game homestand and is just 2-3 at SunTrust Park in July as it sends Anibal Sanchez (5-2, 2.76) to the mound. He’s 1-1 with a 1.99 ERA at home since joining the Braves and unexpected rescuing his career. Both Manny Machado (.500, 2 HR, 4 RBI) and Logan Forsythe (.556, 1 HR, 5 RBI) have hit him extremely well in limited career matchups.

The Dodgers counter with lefty Rich Hill (3-4, 4.26), who nearly came out of the bullpen in Philly on Tuesday night and will look to continue an excellent stretch that has seen him surrender two or fewer runs in four of his last five starts, striking out 33 hitters in 25.2 innings. Hill’s form is one factor in L.A. being favored (-125) for the 30th time in 31 games. The total for this series opener has been set at 9.

Betcha didn’t know: Venezuelan 22-year-old Ranger Suarez will make his debut for Philadelphia as they visit Cincinnati to open a four-game set. He’ll become the first left-handed starter the Phillies have sent to the mound since Adam Morgan back on Sept. 28, 2016, a span of 267 games. Suarez has made three starts in Triple-A, allowing one run in 15.2 innings. He had a WHIP of 1.28 at Lehigh Valley and 1.12 over 12 starts at Double-A Reading and has struck out 66 while walking 24 over 90.2 innings. Suarez has lit up the minors since being signed in 2012 and will wear No. 70 as he attempts to take the first step in becoming an x-factor down the stretch for the first-place Phils. He’s one of the organization’s top prospects whose name was included in trade talks with Baltimore for Manny Machado. His fastball gets up in the mid-90s and he throws a slider and a changeup.

Biggest public favorite: Nationals (-190) at Marlins

Biggest public underdog: Mets (+150) vs. Pirates

Thursday, July 26
The Yankees will roll out Sonny Gray to face the lowly Kansas City Royals. The under is an impressive 6-2-1 in his past nine outings dating back to June 1. The Royals will counter with RHP Jakob Junis, with the 'under' cashing in three of his past four.

The Marlins host the Nationals to kick off a new set. These teams met in a four-game series from July 5-8, and the 'over' went 3-1. However, in three games at Marlins Park from May 25-27, the 'under' went 3-1 with the Marlins averaging just 2.7 runs per game while allowing 6.0 runs per contest. The under is 4-1-2 in the past seven meetings in South Florida, and 6-2-2 in the past 10 at Marlins Park.

Veteran Bartolo Colon and the Rangers will host Trevor Cahill and the Athletics on Thursday. The under is 6-3-1 over Colon's past 10 appearances, including a push on the total in his most recent outing against Oakland when he allowed just two earned runs over five innings June 6 at home. The under is 3-1-1 in the past five outings for Cahill. Can Texas slow down the Oakland offense on Thursday? They allowed 14.0 runs per game in the first two outings on Monday and Tuesday.

Friday, July 27

The O's host the Rays in Game 2 of a four-game set. The last time these clubs met in a four-game set at Oriole Park the 'over' connected three times. The O's won three of those games, averaging 8.8 runs per game during the set, while the Rays average 4.5 runs per contest. Eight of the past nine meetings in Baltimore have resulted in an 'over', too.

CC Sabathia takes the ball for the Yankees in Friday's battle against the Royals. 'Under' bettors have been cashing in on the Hefty Lefty, as the 'under' is 7-0-1 across his past eight starts, including a perfect 4-0 in his past four assignments at home.

LHP Jason Vargas pitches for the Mets in the Steel City, and he brings an 8.60 ERA into the battle. Not good. Well, not good unless you like 'over' results. The over is 3-2-1 in his six road outings since coming over from the Royals, and he has allowed at least four earned runs in six of his past 10 appearances overall.

RHP Anthony DeSclafani hits the rubber for a home meeting with the Phillies. The 'over' has been the rule lately for the Cincinnati righty, going 6-1 over his past seven appearances.

RHP Marcus Stroman of the Blue Jays started the season on a very slow note, but lately he has pieced things together. Total bettors are taking notice, as the 'under' is a perfect 8-0 over his past eight outings.

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Dan Straily, Miami Marlins (4-4, 4.02 ERA, $447)

It's always fun to give the Marlins some love in this article, considering how bad everyone thought they would be this season (they're ahead of the Mets in the NL East ahaha). This is the second really good run of Staily's season and is really in a groove right now.

The veteran right-hander has pitched a quality start in his last five outings and has an ERA of 1.89 and a WHIP of 1.11 over his lsat three starts, while not giving up any long balls. Straily will look to stay hot as the Marlins host the division rival Nationals as +170 underdogs.

Slumping: Tyler Mahle, Cincinnati Reds (7-8, 4.32 ERA, $445)

There are many trade rumors surrounding Reds pitchers, Mahle is not one of them, espeically considering his current skid.

The young right-hander has been rocked for 11 runs on 14 hits (including three dingers) over just eight innings in his last two starts combined. He also has more walks than strikeouts in those games. Mahle will try to get back on track when the Reds host the Phillies as -130 home favorites on Thursday.

Ted Barrett = Overs

Veteran umpire Ted Barrett will be calling balls and strikes tonight in Arlington for the final game of the four-game set between the A's and the Rangers. This season, Barrett has been one of the top Over umpires in Major League Baseball at 13-6 (68.4 percent) and he is currently trending with eight of his last nine games behind the plate cashing for Over bettors.

Both teams have decent bullpen options but look for the starting pitchers (Cahill and Colon) to be forced to actually throw the ball in the strike zone. This game should feature plenty of early runs and the safest total play will be Over 5.5 for the first 4.5 innings at -125.

Early Offense

When it comes to early offense, the Dodgers and Braves are two of the best in the league. Los Angeles scored at least one run in the first inning of all three games against the Philadelphia Phillies, and rank third in the majors in first-inning run percentage (38.24). The Braves, meanwhile, rank sixth in that category at 35.71 percent.

Playing "Yes" on a run for either team in the first inning is a solid option at -120.
