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

13) A gambler at the MGM in Las Vegas had $96,000 on the money line with Virginia Saturday night; hope the guy went to church to give thanks Sunday. His $96K ticket at -$250 paid him a handsome $38,400 for two hours of stress.

12) How is it possible that ESPN’s Sunday Night baseball hadn’t been in Denver since 2001? Maybe they should move games around more; Colorado games are fun to watch.

11) Coaching carousel:
— Arkansas hires Nevada coach Eric Musselman- when a team starts five seniors, its a good time for the coach to re-locate.
— Virginia Tech hired Wofford coach Mike Young.

10) UCLA fired basketball coach Steve Alford on New Year’s Eve; you’d think they’d have hired a replacement by now, seeing how it is April 8th. They’ve butchered this coaching hire in epic fashion; would be they go for an alum like Earl Watson?

9) Texas Tech fired its football coach after last season; the guy winds up getting hired as head coach by the Arizona Cardinals. Four months later, Tech makes the Final Four for the first time; with big $$$ johs like UCLA/LSU open or likely to be open, will Tech be able to keep Chris Beard?

8) Pirates 7, Reds 5— Derek Dietrich homered his first time up for the Reds in this game, lingering at the plate a little to admire it. His second time up? Chris Archer throws the first pitch behind him, clearing both benches in an exchange that was a little more volatile than usual baseball dust-ups.

Five players get thrown out, but not Archer, the guy who started everything by throwing behind the batter. As my high school chemistry teacher often said, that was nonsensical.

Dietrich hit a second homer later in the game.

7) Baseball injuries:
— Braves put C Brian McCann (hamstring) on the IL.
— Rangers put 1B Ronald Guzman (hamstring) on the IL.

6) Purdue G Carsen Edwards is entering the NBA Draft, after scoring 34.8 ppg in four NCAA tournament games. Will be curious to see how his game translates to the NBA.

5) Pretty big week for Jim Nantz; he does the national title game in Minneapolis tonight, then its off to Augusta for The Masters on Thursday.

4) Golf is hard; Jordan Spieth shot a 42 on the front nine in San Antonio Saturday, then he played the back nine in 31. Neither one of those happens much.

3) Minnesota Vikings signed QB Sean Mannion to back up Kirk Cousins; Mannion had been with the Rams the last couple years, but LA signed Blake Bortles as a backup this winter.

2) Rockets 149, Suns 113— Houston was 27-57 behind the arc in this game, setting the all-time record for 3-pointers in an NBA game.

1) Today would’ve been Jim (Catfish) Hunter’s 73rd birthday; he was my boyhood idol, a great pitcher who helped the A’s win three World Series. Threw a perfect game, won 224 games, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1987. He even knocked in three of the four runs Oakland scored the night he threw his perfect game. Hell of a big game pitcher.

Ballpark Figures - Week 3
Joe Williams

Motorin'
The Detroit Tigers weren't expected to do much, but after 10 games they find themselves perched atop the American League Central Division by a half-game over the Cleveland Indians. The two sides will square off at Comerica in the Motor City on Tuesday afternoon to kick off a three-game set. If the Tigers are going to have any success they'll need to figure out a way to solve their nemesis, the Indians.

The Indians will roll out Corey Kluber, and the Tribe are 27-9 in his past 36 starts against American League Central Division foes. A big reason Cleveland has been success is their dominance inside the division, going 82-37 in their past 119 games against AL Central foes. However, the Tribe is 1-5 in the past six starts by Kluber on the road dating back to last summer. Cleveland is also a poor 1-5 in the past six road outings against right-handed starting pitchers. The Tigers are 5-0 in their past five vs. RHP, although they're a dismal 6-15 in Jordan Zimmermann's past 21 home starts and 1-7 in his past eight tries at home against teams with a winning overall mark.

In this series, the Indians are 11-4 in the past 15 trips to Motown, while going 43-17 in the past 60 meetings overall. They have won five straight starts by Kluber against the Tigers, and they're 5-1 in his past six road outings at Comerica. The Tigers, on the other hand, are 0-6 in Zimmermann's past six tries against Cleveland, and 0-4 in his past four home starts by Zimmermann against their division rivals. The over is 3-0-1 in the past four meetings between these two sides, too.

Looking Ahead

Monday, April 8
Cubs LHP Jon Lester host the surprising Bucs, who are 5-3 out of the gate, two games off the pace behind the first-place Milwaukee Brewers. Melky Cabrera knows him well, going 14-for-51 (.275) with two doubles, a homer and four RBI in their history against each other. Francisco Cervelli has also had some limited success against the southpaw, going 10-for-38 (.263) with a double, two homers and 10 RBI. The rest of the current roster combined has just 13 RBI against Lester in 174 at-bats.

The Bucs have won four straight inside the NL Central, and they're 10-4 in the past 14 starts on the road by Jameson Taillon. They're also 7-3 in his past 10 starts, and 8-3 in the past 11 starts by Taillon against divisional foes. The Cubbies have won 38 of Lester's past 52 home starts, and they're 18-8 in his past 26 at Wrigley Field against teams with a winning record. Chicago has also won 38 of his past 56 starts against NL Central opponents.

The Padres and Giants square off at AT&T Park in San Francisco to kick off a new series on Monday. San Francisco hopes to have a little more offense than they did in their four-game set to open the season in San Diego when they lost three of the first four games while totaling just five runs of support for their pitchers. The good news is that the Giants yielded just 11 runs in the four-game set, showing off solid pitching.

LHP Eric Lauer takes the ball, and the Padres are 5-2 in his past seven starts. He'll be up against LHP Madison Bumgarner. The Giants are 1-4 in MadBum's past five starts against NL West foes, while going 1-5 in his past six against teams with a winning record. The Giants have really struggled inside the NL West, too, going just 2-9 in the past 11 inside the division. They're also 2-6 in the past eight vs. LHP, too. The 'under' has cashed in five straight meetings, and is 4-1 in the past five meetings in San Francisco, too. There are a lot of batters who have some ugly numbers against MadBum. Austin Hedges and Eric Hosmer are each 0-for-10 against the southpaw, while Manny Machado is 2-for-11 (.182) in their limited dealings. The player with the most history against Bumgarner, Wil Myers, is 7-for-40 (.175) with two doubles, two homers and 11 strikeouts. The only batter with any measure of success against the San Francisco southpaw is Hunter Renfroe, who is 5-for-13 (.385) with two doubles, two homers and four RBI.

Weather Report
The weather looks good across the board, with the exception of San Francisco. The precipitation chances are 40 percent or less until 8 p.m. PDT local time before picking up to around 50 percent. It wouldn't be surprising to see the tarpaulin come out for the Padres-Giants battle.

Tuesday, April 9
Toronto and Boston kick off a set at Fenway Park on Tuesday evening. Blue Jays RHP Matt Shoemaker will make his first start in Fenway Park in a Jays uniform. Red Sox LHP Chris Sale knows the Jays well, though, and Boston is 6-1 in his past seven against AL East foes, and 5-2 in his past seven tries against Toronto. The Blue Jays are 9-27 in their past 36 against the Red Sox, and 1-10 in their past 11 trips to Fenway Park. Perhaps this will snap Sale into form, as he is an uncharacteristic 0-2 with an 8.00 ERA and 1.44 WHIP through two outings.

The middle game of the Nationals-Phillies seres is a tasty pitching matchup with RHP Stephen Strasburg and RHP Aaron Nola dueling. For what it's worth, the Nationals are 9-0 in Strasburg's past nine outings on a Tuesday. More importantly, they're 39-12 in his past 51 starts on the road. The Phillies are 22-9 in Nola's past 31 starts, and 13-5 in his past 18 inside the National League East. In this series, it has been Strasburg dominating the Phils, so it will be interesting to see if Bryce Harper can tip the scales. The Nats are 17-4 in his past 21 aginst the Phillies, and 7-1 in his past eight starts at Citizens Bank Park. The Phils are 5-11 in Nola's past 16 tries vs. Washington, and 2-6 in his past eight at home. The under is also 6-0 in Strasburg's past six road starts against the Phils, while going 7-2 in Nola's past nine against the Nats.

Weather Report
The wind will be blowing out at Great American Ball Park for the Miami Marlins-Cincinnati Reds game, with a jetstream blowing 10-13 mph to the right-center power alley. It will be the opposite for the Oakland-Baltimore gaem blowing into the faces of the batters from the left-center field power alley at a 11-14 mph clip. The wind will be howling in the Golden State, too, with the wind blowing out to McCovey Cove at 17-21 mph for the game between the Padres-Giants. The winds will be gusting 15-18 mph for the Brewers-Angels interleague contest, but it will be blowing more from third base to third base, favoring left-handed batters.

As far as rain, watch Queens for the interleague battle between the Twins and Mets. The forecast calls for a 40 percent chance of rain, tapering off by 10 p.m. EDT, so they should be able to get it in.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Carlos Rodon, Chicago White Sox (1-1, 1.59 ERA, $66): Has the young lefty finally turned the corner? The third pick overall in the 2014 draft, has had an up-and-down start to his Major League career, but pitched well in his season-opening loss to the Royals before holding the Indians to two hits and no earned runs, while striking out nine batters in six innings last Wednesday.

Rondon finally enjoyed a healthy preseason and is starting to rely more on his slider, and it's showing. The White Sox are +134 underdogs against Tampa Bay this afternoon, but the Rays are coming off a travel day from San Francisco and have batted just .231 this season. This is a good spot for Rodon to continue his rise.

SLUMPING

Miles Mikolas, St Louis Cardinals (0-1, 7.20 ERA, $0): Mikolas had a breakthrough campaign for the Cards last year going 18-4 with an ERA of 2.83 and a WHIP of 1.07, but he's been brought back down to earth so far in 2019. He started off the year getting dinged for three homeruns and five earned runs in five innings against the Brewers, and then allowed seven hits and three runs in five innings in a no decision in Pittsburgh.

The Dodgers have been giving opposing pitchers nightmares this season, leading the majors in runs scored with 8.4 and batting average at .307, while sitting second in round-trippers with 24. Even with Hyun-Jin Ryu (2-0, 0.77 WHIP) taking the mound for L.A. I'm leaning towards the Over in this one.

RETURN OF THE KING

Last week I heralded the demise of Felix Hernandez and then like a ghost from the past, the 2014 version of Hernandez showed up in a dominating performance versus the Angels. Did he turn back the clock for just one night, or was that a sign of things to come? And are the Mariners, currently with the best record in the league at 9-2, for real?

Today Hernandez and the Mariners take on hard-luck Homer Bailey and Kansas City. Bailey is known for how little run-support he got during a 1-14 campaign with the Reds last season and started his Royals career off with another loss. As slim -119 faves against the 2-6 Royals, the Mariners seem like a solid bet to continue their winning ways.

LAND OF THE FREELAND

We missed on the Rocky Mountain Low yesterday with those Dodgers' bats continuing to dominate, but we're going back to the well today as the Rockies host the Braves. The Rockies have been a reliable Under bet at home for a good while now, especially with Kyle Freeland pitching. The Under has hit in 26 of Freeland's last 31 starts in Colorado while the Braves are 5-2 to the Under in their last seven games overall.

The Rockies have struggled at the plate, batting just .216 with just 3.1 runs scored per game. Add in the fact that the Under is 5-1 in the last six games between these two teams and all signs are pointing down.

DEN OF THE WOLF

Umpire Jim Wolf has been great for Under bettors so far this season. While games which Wolf has umpired have gone 1-2 the Under, where he really stands out is his strike rate. His strike percentage of 66.5 percent is one of the highest, and he's called 23 strikouts compared to just four walks. Keep an eye out for Wolf if he ends behind home plate for any of the games you're wagering on this week.
