******************************

Tuesday’s Den; NFL knowledge with camp only a week away…….

13) Kansas City was +9 in turnovers, +27 in sacks LY, as QB Mahomes exploded onto the scene; KC was 12-4 LY, with three losses by 3 or fewer points. Last three years, Chiefs are 8-3 ATS as an underdog. In his last 10 years as a HC, Andy Reid is 2-7 in playoff games, after going 10-7 in playoff games before that.

12) Minnesota was #31 in NFL LY in $$$ spent on their offensive line; last summer, their OL coach died suddenly before training camp started, and team went 8-8 after going 13-3 the year before, when Keenum was their QB. Cousins is 34-37-2 as an NFL starter, 0-1 in playoff games; he makes $28M a year. It is unclear if he is better than Keenum.

11) Colts have had only two losing seasons since 2001, but last year was first time in four years they made the playoffs. Indy was 4-1 LY in games decided by 3 or fewer points in Reich’s first season as a head coach; under is 21-10 in their home games the last four years.
10) Madden video game ranked Eli Manning as the worst starting QB in the NFL- he’ll be 39 in January. Last six years, Giants are 38-59 SU; last two years, they’re 1-4-1 vs spread as a favorite. Giants went for it on 4th down only eight times LY, and Saquon Barkley carried the ball on only one of the eight plays. Will they play first round draft pick QB Jones at all this season?

9) Miami hasn’t made the playoffs since 2008; their last playoff win was in 2000, six coaches ago. Dolphins were last in NFL LY in $$ spent on offense, then they went and hired a defensive assistant from New England as their new HC. Josh Rosen is the new QB; he started 13 games as a rookie for a bad Arizona team LY.

8) Last year in Oakland for the Raiders, who haven’t won a playoff game since 2002- they’ve made playoffs once since then, going 10-22 last two years after a 12-4 season in 2016. Oakland was #31 in $$$ spent on defense LY; they had three first round picks in April, using two on defenders, which should help. Raiders had only 13 sacks LY, while giving up 52.

7) Le’Veon Bell, Antonio Brown are both gone now; Steelers were last in NFL LY in $$$ spent at both RB and WR- they were -11 in turnovers, after going +8 the previous three years. Big Ben is 37; he threw 675 passes LY. Last three years, under is 18-5 in their road games. Last six years, Steelers are 7-3-1 vs spread coming off a loss.

6) Jaguars were #4 in $$$ spent on defense LY, #28 on offense, but now Nick Foles is their QB; can he survive a 16-game schedule? Foles has never started more than 11 games in a season, and started 9+ games in a season only twice. Last four years, Jaguars TO margin is minus-30, and that was with a +10 season in 2017.

5) Jets haven’t made the playoffs since 2010; they went 14-34 the last three years. Adam Gase went 23-25 as coach in Miami, got fired, but division rival Jets hired him to tutor QB Darnold who started 13 games (4-9) LY. Gang Green was minus-10 in turnovers LY, are minus-34 the last three years. Over is 19-11-1 in their home games the last four years.

4) New England has won six Super Bowls since 2001; Brady will be 42 in a few weeks, but he is 12-2 in playoff games the last five years. Over last decade, NE is 46-27-3 as a home favorite; they have to replaced retired TE Gronkowski. In red zone LY, White was targeted 22 times, Edelman 19 times, Gronkowski only seven.

3) Last two years, while playing with very little home field advantage in Carson, Chargers went 11-3 vs spread in true road games. LA’s new dome opens next year; Chargers need lot of wins this year to sell tickets for their ’20 home games. Philip Rivers will be 38 in December; he’s started every game since ’06, but Bolts did a smart thing and added Tyrod Taylor as a backup.

2) Carson Wentz started 13-11 games the last two years; he is 23-17 as an NFL starter, and Nick Foles is in Jacksonville now, so Wentz better stay healthy. In Weeks 4 and 7 LY, Eagles led by 14+ points in 3rd quarter, but lost both games. 12 of their 16 games were decided by 8 or fewer points, which makes the -6 turnover ratio more damaging.

1) New Orleans had 29 more sacks than they allowed LY; they were 5-2 in games decided by 8 or fewer points. Last eight times Saints made postseason, they won their first playoff game seven times. Drew Brees will be 41 in January. Red zone targets LY; Thomas 31, Kamara 29, Tre’Quan Smith 11. Last five years, over is 26-14 in the Superdome.

LEADING OFF: Cashner makes Boston debut, Bellinger's bash
July 16, 2019
By The Associated Press

A look at what's happening around the majors Tuesday:

NEW SOX

Andrew Cashner makes his Boston Red Sox debut at Fenway Park against Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Toronto Blue Jays. Cashner was acquired Saturday from Baltimore for two 17-year-old prospects. The 32-year-old righty went 9-3 with a 3.83 ERA in 17 starts for the team with the worst record in the majors. He has gone at least six innings in his last five outings and has a 1.41 ERA since the beginning of June. ''This is the World Series champs. It's a chance to help these guys get to where they want to go,'' Cashner said. ''I'm definitely looking forward to the race. It's something I haven't been in, really.''

CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE

Cody Bellinger, now with the most home runs in the majors, tries to add to his total as the Dodgers (63-33) - with the top record in the majors - look for another big outburst in Philadelphia. Bellinger saw a sea of blue behind him in right field and heard ''M-V-P'' chants throughout the night Monday in Philly as Los Angeles cruised to a 16-2 rout. Bellinger hit his 32nd and 33rd homers to pass reigning NL MVP Christian Yelich for the big league lead and entertained a large group of Dodgers fans who nearly turned it into a home game for Los Angeles. ''We're in Philadelphia. We shouldn't have that many fans here. That was pretty cool,'' Bellinger said.

FISH STORY

Mike Trout hopes to return to the lineup when the Angels host AL West-leading Houston in the second game of their series. Trout left Sunday's win over Seattle early due to right calf tightness, though the injury didn't look serious. The two-time MVP was scheduled for an MRI and didn't start Monday night.

LUCKY 13

The surprising big league leader in wins is Texas right-hander Lance Lynn (12-4, 3.69 ERA), who goes for No. 13 when the Rangers host the Arizona Diamondbacks. Lynn is 8-0 at home after signing a $30 million, three-year contract with Texas as a free agent in December.

Ballpark Figures - Week 17
July 15, 2019
By Joe Williams

Still Not Detroit!

The Detroit Tigers head across Lake Erie to battle the Cleveland Indians, who were only able to salvage one of three games against the Minnesota Twins in a key American League Central Division battle over the weekend. LHP Daniel Norris takes the ball for manager Ron Gardenhire and the Tigers, while RHP Adam Plutko returns from a stint in the bullpen to start for manager Terry Francona.

The Tigers have managed to win just three of their past 16 games inside the American League Central, while cashing in just 13 of the past 53 games following a victory. They're also a dismal 12-40 over the past 52 games, while going 0-6 in their past six series openers. Norris might not be the guy to snap the skid, either, as the Tigers are just 3-9 over the past 12 starts by Norris, while going 6-22 in the past 28 games overall with Norris on the hill. They're also 1-6 in his past seven against winning teams.

Cleveland has still won seven of the past nine games overall, and they're 12-3 in the past 15 games inside the AL Central. In addition, they're 9-2 in the past 11 games against a left-handed starting pitcher, while going 8-3 in the past 11 series openers. They're also 4-0 in Plutko's past four starts, 4-1 in his past five starts at Progressive Field and 4-0 in the past four against teams with a losing overall record, too. In this series, it's been all Cleveland all the time lately. They're 51-18 in the past 69 meetings overall, and 24-7 in the past 31 home games for the Indians against the Tigers.

Looking Ahead

Tuesday, July 16

The Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles kick off their interleague rivalry at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and the O's turn to RHP Asher Wojchiechowski, recently acquired from the Cleveland Indians. The Nats have enjoyed their rest, going 4-0 in the past four after a day off. They're also 10-1 in the past 11 road outings against a right-handed starting pitcher. They're also 7-2 in the past nine road outings, while going 21-6 in the past 27 vs. RHP. The O's are the complete oppo, going 1-5 in the past six against NL East foes, 15-43 in the past 58 games overall and 14-39 in the past 53 at home. Washington has won seven of the past eight outings, while the under is 6-1 in the past seven overall in the series and 14-4 in the past 18 battles in Charm City.

The Mariners travel down to the Bay Area to kick off a new series against the Athletics. LHP Marco Gonzales takes the ball from manager Scott Servais, while the A's counter with RHP Daniel Mengden. The Mariners have managed to pick up victories in just nine of their past 37 road contests, while going 1-5 in the past six against RHP. They're also just 5-16 in the past 21 following a day off. The M's have won five of the past six starts by Gonzales, while going 6-0 in his past six series openers, however.

For the A's, they're 4-0 in the past four home games, 6-1 in the past seven series openers and 5-1 in the past six inside the division. Rest also does them well, as they're 9-2 in the past 11 following a scheduled day off. The A's have also won 20 of the past 27 games overall, while going 41-18 in the past 59 vs. LHP. The A's have won 21 of the past 29 starts by Mengden, including eight of the past 11 at home while going 6-1 in his past seven series openers.

Weather Report

The Nats and O's face a 30 percent chance of rain at first pitch, tapering off to 20 percent by 10 p.m. ET. So we may or may not see the tarpaulin, but chances are good the game is played as scheduled. The Mets and Twins will also see similar conditions, with 30 percent or greater chances of rain with plenty of humidity, making Minneapolis feel more like Atlanta.

In Texas, they could use a little rain to cool things off, as the temperature is forecast to be 103 degrees at first pitch. There will be a hot wind blowing in from 11-14 mph from right-center field to home plate. The Mariners and Athletics will also deal with a 10-13 mph wind blowing to straightaway center field, but with temperatures around 60 degrees, it will feel more like April or October in the Bay Area.
