Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

Westgate SuperBook posted NFL win totals for 2019:

— New England 11, over -$150

— New Orleans 10.5

— Kansas City 10.5, under -$120

— Los Angeles Rams 10.5, under -$120

— Philadelphia 9.5, over -$150

— Indianapolis 9.5, over -$140


**********

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

13) There have already been 20 picks traded in the 2020 NFL Draft.

12) This was the first time since 1962 that no Nebraska players were drafted.

11) Warriors 104, Rockets 100— James Harden was 5-12 inside arc, 4-16 on arc, 13-14 on line; Houston was +3 in the 39:00 he was on the floor. As a team, Rockets took 47 3-pointers (14-47), only 2-pointers.

10) Baseball injuries:
— Christian Yelich left Sunday’s game with lower back discomfort.
— Robinson Cano got hit on the hand, left the same game; x-rays were negative.
— Fernando Tatis Jr (hamstring) left the Padres game in the 10th inning.

9) Going into Sunday’s games, Mets pitchers led NL in strikeouts, but were last in ERA.

Only twice has a team led the league in pitching strikeouts but were last in ERA for a full season; the 1958 Dodgers and the 2007 Devil Rays. Both teams made it to the World Series the year after this happened.

8) It is April 29 but if you’re a Mets fan, it is not too early to worry:
— Jacob deGrom’s ERA in five starts: 4.85
— Noah Syndergaard’s ERA in six starts: 6.35

7) Eight of Met rookie Pete Alonso’s nine HR’s have come against relief pitchers.

6) Milwaukee’s Brandon Woodruff is only lefty-hitting pitcher ever to homer in a postseason game against a lefty pitcher. He homered off of Clayton Kershaw in LY’s playoffs.

5) Buffalo Bills open this season with consecutive games in the Meadowlands, against the Jets in Week 1, then the Giants in Week 2.

4) Former Jaguars/Raiders coach Jack del Rio did a solid job in the studio on the NFL Network telecast of the draft this weekend. Looks like a positive addition to their broadcast team.

3) Jerry Stackhouse is Vanderbilt’s new basketball coach; he signed Scotty Pippen Jr this week. Young Pippen committed to Vandy back when Bryce Drew was the Commodores’ coach, and he officially signed his letter of intent with Vandy this week.

2) Butler poaches 7-foot grad transfer Derrik Smits from Valparaiso; he is the son of former NBA player Rik Smits. Wasn’t so long ago that Butler/Valparaiso were both Horizon League teams (2012)- the last year they were in the same league, Valpo finished three games ahead of Butler in the Horizon.

Seven years later, Butler is in the Big East, Valpo is in the Missouri Valley.

1) Cardinals’ pitching prospect Alex Reyes punched a wall after a recent AAA start and broke the left pinky on his non-throwing hand. Reyes is expected to miss three weeks.

Ballpark Figures - Week 6
Joe Williams



Rays of Hope

The first-place Tampa Bay Rays (18-9) look to stay hot on the road against the lowly Kansas City Royals (7-16) in Monday's series opener. The Rays lead the major leagues with a plus-45 run differential, while the Royals are 27th in the majors with a minus-23 in the category. Monday's battle with feature RHP Ryne Stanek up against RHP Brad Keller, and it's not as lopsided as the game appears on paper.

The Rays are 7-1 in the past eight Game 1s of a new series, while going 4-1 in the past five games on the road against a right-handed starter. The Rays are also 13-3 in their past 16 battles against American League Central Division clubs, while going 10-3 in Stanek's past 13 starts overall. They're also 9-3 in the past 12 starts by Stanek against teams with a losing overall record. However, they are just 4-10 in Stanek's past 14 on the road, and 0-9 in his past nine starts on a grass surface.

For the Royals, they're 4-1 in their past five at home vs. RHP, while going 6-1 in Keller's past seven home starts and 9-4 in the past 13 starts on grass. However, they're just 1-4 in the past five starts against a team with a winning record, and just 15-37 in the past 52 games against AL East foes. The Royals are also just 8-44 in the past 52 games against teams with a winning percentage over .600. The Royals are 1-10 in the past 11 meetings, while going 0-4 in the past four at home against Tampa. The under has hit in four of the past five meetings at Kauffman Stadium.


Looking Ahead

Monday, April 29

The A's and Red Sox will do battle at Fenway Park in Boston in Monday's series opener, and it's a great pitching matchup between RHP Frankie Montas and LHP Eduardo Rodriguez. The A's have dropped four games in a row on the road, and they're 0-6 in the past six against AL East clubs are getting swept north of the border against the Blue Jays over the weekend. Montas might put a stop to that, as the A's are 6-2 in his past eight road outings, 4-1 in his past five overall and 7-1 in his past eight starts against teams with a losing overall mark.

For the Red Sox, they're just 1-5 in the past six against AL West, and 2-5 in the past seven vs. RHP at home. However, like Montas, E-Rod could be the guy to snap the BoSox out of their funk. Boston is 20-6 in his past 26 starts at Fenway, and 21-5 in his past 26 starts against teams with an overall losing record. However, they are 1-4 in the past five starts by Rodriguez against AL West clubs.

The Dodgers and Giants battle in the Bay Area, and it's RHP Kenta Maeda and RHP Jeff Samardzija facing each other. The Dodgers are 1-4 in Maeda's past five road outings, while the Giants are 3-9 in Samardzija's past 12 starts overall and 1-4 in his past five against teams with a winning overall record. They're also a dismal 9-22 in the past 31 games overall vs. RHP. L.A. has cashed in six of the past seven against San Francisco, while the over is 5-2 in the past seven in the Bay Area, and 4-1 in the past five meetings overall.

Weather Report

The weather forecast is super favorable for Monday's slate of MLB games. There is a 20 percent or less chance of precipitation across the board, and winds are 10 mph or less are all venues but one. At Oracle Park in San Francisco the Dodgers and Giants will see winds blowing out to left field from 9-12 mph, potentially helping 'over' bettors.


Tuesday, April 30

The Indians and Marlins hook up in South Florida in a rematch of the 1997 World Series, but this time the venue is Marlins Park and not Hard Rock Stadium. The Indians will be heavily favored on the road with ace RHP Trevor Bauer squaring off against untested RHP Sandy Alcantara. However, Alcantara saw the Indians once already this season, yielding two runs - one earned - and four hits with four walks over five innings in a no-decision. The Marlins are 0-3 over his past three outings, and the under has cashed in eight of his past 10 starts overall. Cleveland enters play 4-0 in the past four interleague road games, and they're 5-2 in the past seven games on the road. They're also 5-1 in Bauer's past six in Game 1 of a new series. Cleveland is also 10-4 in the past 14 starts overall, including 7-2 in his past nine on the road, and 8-3 in the past 11 starts against teams with a losing record.

Dodgers RHP Walker Buehler takes the ball against LHP Drew Pomeranz in Game 2 of the series. L.A. is 5-2 in Buehler's past seven starts, and 4-1 in his past five against NL West foes. They're also 4-1 in his past five road outings against teams with a losing overall record. However, L.A. is just 4-9 in the past 13 tries vs. LHP, including 2-5 in their past seven on the road against southpaws. As far as the total is concerned, the under is 6-1-1 in the past eight starts by Buehler inside the division, while going 10-4-1 in his past 15 starts overall. The under is 5-0 in Pomeranz's past five outings overall, while going 23-10-2 in the past 35 vs. RHP.

Weather Report

There will be a slight drizzle for the Tigers-Phillies interleague battle, but they should be able to get the game in without delay. The rains will be much heavier at Target Field, and the Astros-Twins game has the potential to be postponed with a 60 percent chance or greater of rain throughout the evening and overnight. If they do get the game in somehow, the Astros and Twins will face a stiff 10-13 mph wind blowing in from center field to home plate.

In Texas, the Pirates and Rangers will also faced a very stiff wind from 17-20 mph blowing in from right field to home plate working to keep scores down, especially hurting left-handed hitters trying to get the ball up in the air. The Orioles and White Sox will also face a potential postponement, as there is an 80 percent or greater chance of rain. If they see the field, they'll face gusty winds of 12-15 mph blowing into the face of the batters from left-center field.

For the Rays and Royals on Tuesday, the forecast also calls for heavy rain (80 percent chance of precipitation or greater), so look for this game to be postponed as well.

Wednesday, May 1

Mariners LHP Marco Gonzales takes the ball against Cubs LHP Jon Lester in a southpaw battle at T-Mobile Park. The Mariners are 6-1 in Gonzales' seven starts this season, while the under is 3-1-1 in his past five outings. Lester has managed a 1-1 record with a 2.37 ERA and 19 strikeouts over 19 innings in four starts this season, and the 'over' is 3-1 in his four outings this season. In Lester's past four outings on the road, the Cubs are 3-1, too. He might pitch with a little extra effort in SoDo, too, as he was born in nearby Tacoma.

It's a righty-on-righty battle when the Blue Jays and Angels face each other at the Big A. RHP Marcus Stroman and RHP Felix Pena square off with the Angels looking for a little consistency after a rough start. Stroman enters with a 1-3 record, but an outstanding 1.43 ERA in his six outings, including just one earned run with 10 hits and eight walks allowed over the past 19 innings over his past three starts. In six starts the Toronto offense has produced a total of 15 runs of support, however. Pena is 0-1 with a 3.63 ERA across 22 1/3 innings in his five outings, with the Angels 0-2 in his past two starts. He did allow just two runs - one earned - with a season-high eight strikeouts over five innings in a no-decision against the Yankees last time out. The 'under' has cashed in four of his five outings this season, with the 'under' 5-1 in Stroman's six assignments.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Patrick Corbin, Washington Nationals (2-0, 2.48 ERA, $-15): Corbin has settled in nicely with his new team, since signing a big contract this offseason. He has so far rewarded the Nationals with a quality start in five of his first five games. And he has been getting better with each start. Corbin has pitched to a 1.74 ERA and a 0.68 WHIP over his past three starts and he’ll look to stay hot when the Nats host the Cardinals tonight. Washington is currently a -144 favorite with a total of 8.5.

SLUMPING

Kenta Maeda, Los Angeles Dodgers (3-2, 5.20 ERA, $94): The Dodgers right-hander has swapped good and bad starts this season, but with two of his last three falling in the bad category Maeda gets dubbed our Slumping Starter for today.

Maeda has seemed to battle his control all season, issuing 13 walks in his five starts, including seven over his past three. In those three games he owns a 6.75 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP. Maeda will try to get back on track when the Dodgers begin a three-game set in San Francisco. The Dodgers are currently -154 road faves with a total of 7.5.



BIG UNDER MACHINE

The Reds continue to be an Under bettor’s dream. Excellent pitching with terrible hitting as evidenced by yesterday’s 5-2 loss to the Cardinals. With the loss the Under is now 20-6-1 in the Reds 27 games this season. Cincinnati ranks third in team ERA this season, while ranking dead last in batting average, so this trend seems sustainable for the time being. The Reds send Tanner Roark to the bump to counter the Mets Zack Wheeler. The total for tonight’s game in New York is currently 8.
