Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Some college football over/under win totals from New Jersey books:

— Alabama 11, under -$121

— Clemson 11, over -$139

— Georgia 10.5, over -$182

— Oklahoma 10, over -$148

— Ohio State 10, under -$121

— Boise State 10, under -$118


**********

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

13) From metsblog.com:
”These baseballs suck. They’re more slick and the seams are more smooth and hard to grip.”

That is a major league relief pitcher, talking about this year’s batch of baseballs.

Noah Syndergaard told reporters last week that gripping a baseball on a cold night has felt like trying to throw an ice cube.

From Robert Arthur, who provides pitch-tracking information in every ballpark:
”As baseballs become more aerodynamic, they travel further given a certain initial velocity. A deep fly ball that might have been caught at the warning track can instead (with just a three percent change in drag) go into the first row of the stands (for a home run).”

So if you’re wondering why home runs are on the increase again, this is part of why.

12) Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer will be a minority owner of the new Seattle team in the NHL, which will begin play in the fall of 2021.

Bruckheimer produced the CSI shows, Without a Trace as well as numerous movies, like Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop.

11) Of the 32 teams in the NFL, 15 will have a play-caller this season who is in his first full year calling plays for that team.

10) Sunday afternoon against the Giants, Eugenio Suarez, Jesse Winker and Derek Dietrich of the Reds hit back-to-back-to-back homers on three straight pitches off Jeff Samardzija.

Last team to do this was the Dodgers on June 12, 2007: Wilson Betemit, Matt Kemp and Hong-Chih Kuo all homered off the Mets’ John Maine.

9) This year the Reds are celebrating their team’s 150th anniversary; they’re wearing 15 different sets of throwback uniforms this season, to commemorate various eras in their long history. Sunday’s uniforms were actually dark blue, with red lettering.

8) Max Homa won the Wells Fargo golf tournament this past weekend; coming into the week, Homa was ranked 417th in the world. Now he is a millionaire and exempt on tour for the next 2.5 years, so a big four days for him. Golf is a really, really competitive sport.

7) Baseball injuries:
— Red Sox put P David Price (elbow) on IL.
— Nationals put 1B Matt Adams (shoulder) on IL.
— Mets put P Jason Vargas (hamstring) on IL.

6) When the Red Sox go to the White House Thursday to be honored for winning the World Series, manager Alex Cora, who is from Puerto Rico, won’t be there. He isn’t happy how the government responded to Hurricane Maria last year:

“Although the government of the United States has helped, there is still a long way to go, that is OUR reality. I have continually used my voice so that we Puerto Ricans are not forgotten and my absence is not different. Therefore, at this moment, I do not feel comfortable celebrating in the White House.”

David Price, Mookie Betts and Rafael Devers will also be no-shows Thursday.

5) How has Brewers’ CF Lorenzo Cain never won a Gold Glove? Guy plays a great centerfield. He made another great catch against the Mets Sunday, crashing into the fence in right-center but hanging onto the ball.

4) Interesting trade in our fantasy league Sunday night; this is a 16-team dynasty league, where you keep your roster from year-to-year.

Team A traded Mike Trout, Max Scherzer and Robbie Ray. In return, they got Yordan Alvarez, Keston Hiura and Brendan Rodgers, three of the best minor league prospects, all at the AAA level. Was really surprised to see Trout get dealt; wonder if the Angels will ever do that?

Team A is the defending champ in our league but is 0-4-1 so far this season, so they decided to build for the future; time will tell who won this trade.

3) I wasted a decent amount of space this spring writing about the AAF, so I won’t be writing a lot about the XFL until it proves it has staying power, but the XFL did sign a TV deal with ABC and FOX this week. All 43 games will be shown somewhere on network TV next spring.

2) College basketball transfer portal:
— Clemson poached grad transfer Curran Scott (8.9 ppg LY) from Tulsa.
— UNLV F Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua jumps from UNLV to Baylor.


1) Oakland A’s on Sundays so far this season:
— W2-1 vs Angels.
— L9-8 @ Houston— Led 8-6 in 8th inning.
— L8-7 @ Texas— Led 7-4 in 8th inning.
— L5-4 vs Toronto— Blue Jays swept series in Oakland.
— L5-4 @ Toronto (11)— Led 4-1 in the 11th.
— L5-3 @ Pittsburgh (13)— Led 3-1 in the 13th.

LEADING OFF: Ohtani nears Angels return, biding Bumgarner
May 6, 2019
By The Associated Press

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

OHTANI ON DECK

AL Rookie of the Year Shohei Ohtani will join the Angels in Detroit this week and could be set to make his season debut. The two-way star has been recovering from Tommy John surgery and isn't expected to pitch this year. But his swing is fine and Los Angeles intends to use Ohtani as its designated hitter.

The Angels say Ohtani will wear an arm guard when he bats and runs the bases. The 24-year-old hit .285 with 22 home runs last season.

INTERESTING

San Francisco lefty Madison Bumgarner (1-4, 3.92 ERA) starts at Coors Field, facing the only team he's beaten this season. He pitched seven innings at home to top Colorado on April 13.

With each outing for the last-place Giants, speculation increases they might consider trading the 29-year-old Bumgarner. The 2014 World Series MVP has made seven starts this season.

BRIGHT SPOT

The Marlins went into this week on pace for 118 losses and their worst record ever. Club CEO Derek Jeter says he's not happy, a sentiment echoed by manager Don Mattingly.

Caleb Smith, however, has been exceptional. The 27-year-old lefty is 3-0 with a 2.00 ERA in six starts, striking out 45 in 36 innings. Smith will try to boost his record when he starts at Wrigley Field against Jon Lester and the Cubs.

MOVING AROUND

Cody Bellinger can expect to see a lot of time in the outfield for the Dodgers after coming back from a dislocated shoulder. He hurt himself diving for a ball at first base, and Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts says it ''makes the most sense'' to keep Bellinger in the outfield for a while.

Also, newly acquired Travis d'Arnaud will work out at first base and left field. A catcher with the New York Mets, d'Arnaud will practice at other spots to give the Dodgers extra versatility.

The Dodgers could need help in the outfield with A.J. Pollock out for at least six weeks after surgery to clear up an infection in his right elbow.

Diamond Trends - Tuesday
May 7, 2019
By Vince Akins

SU Play ON Trend of the Day:

-- The Twins are 16-0 SU as a road favorite after a game in which they scored five-plus runs and won by five-plus runs.

SU Play AGAINST Trend of the Day:

-- The Royals are 0-23 SU as a 170+ dog vs a team that has won at least their last three games and it is before the All-Star break.

Batter-Based Trend of the Day:

-- The Twins are 8-0 SU in franchise history as a road favorite off a road game in which Jorge Polanco had multiple hits and did not strike out.

Starter-Based Trend of the Day:

-- The Yankees are 17-0 SU in franchise history with Masahiro Tanaka as favorite of more than 135 when they used five pitchers yesterday and their starter had at least three more strikeouts than their bullpen.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Caleb Smith, Miami Marlins (3-0, 2.00 ERA, $337): Miami might be struggling this year but that's no fault of Smith who has been outstanding with a BAA of .168, WHIP of 0.83 and 45 strikeouts through 36 innings. Miami is just 6-22 in games that Smith hasn't pitched this year, but have gone 4-0 in Smith's last four starts. Over those four games, Smith allowed just three runs and fanned 30 batters in 25 innings.

Tonight Smith and the Marlins face off against Jon Lester and the Cubs. Lester is 2-1 with a 1.73 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. It could be a low-scoring battle at Wrigley field.

SLUMPING

Collin McHugh, Houston Astros (3-3, 4.97 ERA, $-264): McHugh started the season on fire, going 3-1 with a 1.96 ERA and 0.83 WHIP. Since then he's gone off the rails. In his last three starts the Astros are 0-3 and McHugh has given up 16 earned runs and six homers in 15 innings.

McHugh and the Astros are massive -230 favorites against the Kansas City Royals tonight, with the Houston runline priced at +100. Houston has covered the runline as favorites in each of their last three games (outscoring their opponents by 20 runs in that span) but could need a much better performance from McHugh to keep that streak going.



3 STRIKES

DRINK YOU UNDER THE TABLE

The Milwaukee Brewers could be the hottest team in the National League, winning four in a row and eight of their last 11 games. The Brew Crew have stacked $487 and change for loyal Milwaukee backers betting $100 a pop during that span, and if you also rode the Under in this winning charge you’d have plenty of extra beer money.

The Brewers have stayed below the total in six of their previous nine outings and outside of two 11-run concessions at Colorado last week, have limited opponents to three runs or less in six of the eight remaining outings, including a total of just nine runs during their current four-game tear.

In a different move, manager Craig Counsell (who has done this before) will use an “opener” in the form of Adrian Houser versus Washington Tuesday, hoping to snap starter Freddy Peralta out of his first-inning funk. Houser will likely toss the first inning or two before handing the ball to Peralta, who has a hulking 27.00 ERA in the opening frame but settles down for a 0.90 ERA in the second and third innings. Tuesday’s total opened 8.5 and has been bet down to eight runs.

BUCCOS STOPS HERE

The Pittsburgh Pirates have laid waste to American League foes when they cross over into the Senior Circuit. So far in 2019, the Bucs are 6-1 versus AL opponents after taking two of three games from the Oakland A’s last week and beating Tuesday’s opponent, the Texas Rangers, in two meetings on April 30 and May 1.

That interleague success is carried over from last season, in which the Pirates finished with a 15-5 record versus the American League – best in the NL. Interleague play has lit a fire under Pittsburgh in 2019, with the club plating 4.7 runs per outing versus the AL – more than a run extra compared to its average production on the season – leading to a 5-2 Over/Under count in those games. The Pirates are -138 home favorites hosting the Rangers with the total at 8.5 runs.

DANA AND THE DINGERS

Fans at Yankee Stadium will want to keep their heads up when the Bronx Bombers welcome the Seattle Mariners today. Not only does Seattle lead the big leagues in home runs (70) but home plate umpire Dana DeMuth is one of the top Over umps (5-2 O/U), with an average of 3.57 home runs hit per game with him calling the balls and strikes.

Add to Seattle’s power and DeMuth’s tendency to drum up dingers, the fact that Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka has allowed at least one home run in five starts (six total) and has served up nine round-trippers in his last 10 outings going back to last season. Prop bettors can look to Mariners slugger Jay Bruce and his total bases odds, with 4-plus priced at +300, or his home run prop price, which is also +300. Bruce to hit two homers is +1,400. Just sayin’.
