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

13) When you’re a college basketball coach trying to win, you do all kinds of stuff to get players:

Oklahoma State hired the older brother of top prospect Cade Cunningham as its new assistant coach; this is perfectly legit, has been done many times, usually with a father- that is how Kansas got Danny Manning back in the 80’s, they hired his father as an assistant. Ed Manning played in the NBA, but was a truck driver when Kansas hired him.

Cannen Cunningham played at SMU from 2011-15 and spent last season at Tulane as the associate director of video operations under Mike Dunleavy Sr.

12) What happens if the Cunningham kid goes somewhere other than Oklahoma State? Does Oklahoma State tell the brother to take a hike? Chances are strong the kid is going to OSU.

11) The last few weeks, I’ve heard five different Bronx baseball fans refer to DJ LeMahieu as “this kid LeMahieu” as if they had never heard of him before this year. Oy.

LeMahieu will be 31 on July 13; this is his ninth year in the major leagues, he has 1,125 hits and a career on-base %age of .353. Two All-Star games, three Golden Gloves; he’s been a really good player for several years, but since a lot of the Bronx fanbase just follows their own team and not the whole sport, they just don’t know.

10) Blake Snell’s last three starts for Tampa Bay:

7 IP, 18 hits, 17 runs (16 earned), 9 walks, 7 strikeouts.

When you’re using an opener 60% of the time, you need your two aces to give the bullpen lot of rest and that isn’t happening for the Rays right now.

9) Kerry Blackshear transfers from Virginia Tech to Florida, big pickup for the Gators- some pundits have now put Florida in the preseason top 10 for college hoop.

8) Middle of the night a few nights ago, Moneyball appeared on TV, which was fine with me; hadn’t seen it in a while. I won’t embarrass myself by telling you how many times I’ve seen it, but couple of thoughts popped up in my head while watching it this time:

— Bill James should be in the Hall of Fame, as a contributor; he certainly changed the game.
— There must be some great discussions/arguments behind the scenes now, with the old school baseball guys taking on the numbers guys, as far as strategy goes.

7) Baseball stuff:
— Bronx put Giancarlo Stanton (knee) back on the IL.
— Detroit recalled 3B Jeimer Candelario from AAA.
— Angels recalled P’s Jaime Barria, Trevor Cahill
— Twins’ OF Eddie Rosario (hamstring) left Wednesday’s game early

6) Kevin Durant declined his $31.5M player option and will be an unrestricted free agent; will be interesting to see what kind of contract a 31-year old guy (he turns 31 in September) with a torn achilles gets. History tells us achilles injuries aren’t kind to basketball players.

5) New York City is made up of five boroughs; Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island and Queens- the borough of Queens, by itself, has more people than 16 states.

4) I’ll say this once and only once: I don’t give a rat’s ass who wins the MVP in any league, ever, in any sport. Some days, it is all ESPN talks about. Individual awards? They. do. not. matter.

3) White Sox 8, Red Sox 7— Jose Abreu homered in the ninth inning for the win.

2) San Diego 10, Baltimore 5— Orioles have allowed 165 home runs n 80 games; not good.

1) Bob Ley is retiring after 40 years at ESPN; he joined ESPN as a SportsCenter anchor in 1979, on the third day ESPN was on the air. In 1980, he hosted the first NCAA selection show and live broadcast of the NFL draft and continued in that role for the next nine years.

In a modern age when every TV studio person has to have their own shtick, Ley had no shtick, he was just really good at his job, and he will be missed.

Chicago Hope

The Atlanta Braves have recalled RHP Bryse Wilson from Triple-A Gwinnett to make the start on Thursday afternoon against RHP Tyler Chatwood and the Chicago Cubs in the series finale. The Braves have won just two of three in the series with the 'under' connecting in each of the three outings so far.

Wilson has made five appearances in the majors, including two starts, and he has posted a 7.15 ERA and 2.029 WHIP across 11 1/3 innings with 10 strikeouts during that span. He made start earlier this season in Philadelphia, coughing up four earned runs, five hits and four walks with three strikeouts in just 3 1/3 innings, needing 99 pitches to make it through the outing. The 'over' easily connected in that outing, and has cashed in each of his two appearances so far this season, too.

The under is 4-0 in the past four games overall for the Braves, while going 4-0 in their past four on the road, too. The under is also 4-1 in the past five against a right-handed starting pitcher, and 4-1 in the past five on the road vs. RHP, too. The under has hit in seven of the past 10 overall against a winning team.

As far as the Cubs are concerned, the under has hit in four in a row, too, while going 5-1 in the past six at home against teams with a winning overall mark. The under is also 4-0 in the past four inside the NL East, while going a perfect 5-0 in the past five against teams with a winning overall mark. They're even more impressive at home against the under, going 20-7 in the past 26 at home against teams with a winning overall mark. However, in Tyler Chatwood's past eight starts, the over has cashed in six of those outings, while going 5-1 in his past six at the Friendly Confines. The under is 5-2 in the past seven meetings at Wrigley Field, too.

Looking Ahead

Thursday, June 27

Nationals RHP Stephen Strasburg takes the ball at Marlins Park against RHP Sandy Alcantara. The over is 3-0-1 in the past four road games for Washington, while going 3-1-1 in the past five vs. RHP. The under is 19-7-1 in the past 27 by Strasburg on the road, however, while going 8-3 in his past 11 road outings against a team with a losing overall mark. The over is 5-1-1 in Miami's past seven at home, and 3-1-1 in their past five in South Florida vs. RHP. However, the under is a perfect 4-0 in Alcantara's past four inside the division, while going 6-2 across his past eight assignments overall. The under is also 7-3 in Alcantara's past 10 home outings. For Strasburg, the under is 5-0 in his past five outings in Miami, 7-1 in his past seven overall against the Fish and 23-11-3 in the past 37 meetings between these sides overall in Miami.

The Diamondbacks recall LHP Alex Young for a start against the Giants at Oracle Park in San Francisco. He'll take on RHP Tyler Beede is a potentially high-scoring game in the Bay Area. Young had an ERA north of six, albeit in the PCL, which has most of its games played at elevation.

The over is 9-3 in the past 12 games overall, and 6-2 in the past eight road outings, too. The over is also 8-3 in the past 11 vs. RHP, while going 6-2 in the past eight inside the division. The over is also 4-1 in the past five vs. LHP, while going 9-4-1 in his past 14 at home against a southpaw. The over is 4-1 in Beede's past five inside the division, too. In this series the over has cashed in five of the past six meetings overall.

Wind Report
Winds will be rather variable at most MLB outdoor venues on Thursday. However, the Diamondbacks and Giants will be contending with a 10-13 mph wind blowing out to straightaway center field at Oracle Park in San Francisco, a fact which will not aid fairly inexperienced starters Young and Beede.

Friday, June 28

The Dodgers and Rockies square off at Coors Field in Denver, and it's LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu taking the ball for L.A. against RHP Antonio Senzatela. The over is 3-0-1 in the past four for the Dodgers against a right-handed starting pitcher, and 7-0 in their past seven road games against a team with a winning overall mark. The over is 6-2-1 in the past nine overall, while going -2-1 in their past nine inside the division, too. The under is 4-1 in the past five starts by Ryu, while going 33-16-2 across his past 51 road outings.

For the Rockies, the over is a perfect 4-0 in their past four at home, while going 5-2 in the past seven against a southpaw. The over is also 10-3-1 in the past 14 for Colorado against a starting pitcher with a WHIP under 1.15. For Senzatela, though, it's all under all the time. The under is 3-0-1 in his past four against teams with a winning record, and 7-0 in his past seven starts in Game 2 of a series. The under is also 18-7-1 in the past 26 starts overall, while going 9-4 in the past 13 at home and 10-2-1 in the past 13 against NL West foes.

Cardinals RHP Michael Wacha takes the ball against LHP Eric Lauer and the Padres on Friday night in a battle of two teams fairly evenly matched. The under is 7-3 in the past 10 overall for the Cardinals, and 8-2 in the past 10 in Game 1 of a new series. However, the over is 5-1 in the past six road outings, and 7-3 in their past 10 against NL West opponents. For the Padres, the over is 2-0-2 in the past four overall, and 8-2 in the past 10 against winning teams. However, the under is 4-1-1 in the past six at home vs. RHP, and 4-1-1 in the past six at Petco. For Lauer, the under is 5-1 in his past six at home, and 7-3-2 in his past 12 in Game 1 of a new series.

Wind Report
Like Thursday night, the only wind trouble spot will be alongside the San Francisco Bay at Oracle Park for the D-Backs vs. Giants. The winds will be blowing at 10-13 mph again to straightaway center field.

Thursday's NL Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Dodgers (-200, 11 ½) at Rockies – 8:40 PM EST

In spite of losing two of three games at Arizona, the Dodgers (55-27) remain the top team in the National League West as they begin a four-game series at Coors Field. Los Angeles squandered a 3-0 lead in the series opening loss at Chase Field with Clayton Kershaw on the mound in an 8-5 setback on Monday, but the Dodgers rebounded for a 3-2 triumph on Tuesday. Arizona jumped on Los Angeles in Wednesday’s series finale for four runs in the opening inning of an 8-2 blowout, marking the second straight road series defeat for the Dodgers.

Colorado (42-38) returns home from a 5-4 road trip against three division foes, Arizona, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. The Rockies pulled off a three-game sweep of the Diamondbacks before dropping all three at Dodger Stadium this past weekend (more on that in a minute). Colorado captured two of three games at San Francisco, capped off by Wednesday’s 6-3 triumph as a -145 favorite. The Rockies overcame an early 2-0 deficit thanks to a grand slam off the bat of David Dahl, who drove in five runs for Colorado in the win.

The Rockies held their own with the Dodgers last weekend at Chavez Ravine, unfortunately they had no wins to show for it. Los Angeles slipped past Colorado all three times on walk-off homers, extending its winning streak over the Rockies to 11 games since last season. The Dodgers were heavy favorites in all three games, but rewarded run-line bettors with a two-run walk-off shot to win the series opener, 4-2, while hitting a three-run blast to capture the finale, 6-3.

Walker Buehler takes the mound in the opener for the Dodgers, looking to improve on an 8-1 mark and 2.96 ERA. The former Vanderbilt standout struck out a career-high 16 batters in nine innings of last Friday’s 4-2 victory over the Rockies as a -190 favorite, marking his second win against Colorado this season. Since the start of May, Buehler has put together eight quality starts in nine outings, while winning each of his past three starts away from Dodger Stadium.

The Rockies counter with rookie right-hander Peter Lambert, who won his first two career starts against the Cubs, but is winless in his past two appearances. After getting knocked around for eight runs in three innings to the Padres on Father’s Day, Lambert settled down to yield three runs in five innings at Los Angeles last Saturday. Unfortunately, that was one of the walk-off losses suffered by the Rockies as Colorado led, 4-3 until L.A. tied it with a run in the eighth before winning it in the 11th.

Colorado has won six consecutive home series openers, but the Rockies were swept at Coors Field by the Dodgers back in April. The last time the Rockies beat the Dodgers came on September 8 in Denver last season, 4-2. Who was the starting pitcher that night for Los Angeles? It was Buehler, who allowed all four runs, including two homers, one off the bat of Colorado center fielder Charlie Blackmon, who enters Thursday’s contest with only two hits in his past 17 at-bats.

Diamondbacks at Giants (-110, 8 ½) – 9:45 PM EST

These two NL West rivals are also meeting for the second straight weekend as the venue shifts to Oracle Park in San Francisco. The Diamondbacks (41-41) have won three of their past four since a six-game skid, as Arizona won multiple games in a series against Los Angeles for the first time this season. Arizona not only took the series at Chase Field, but cashed in both opportunities as an underdog, including as a +140 ‘dog in Wednesday’s 8-2 blowout.

The Giants (34-45) remain at the bottom of the NL West after dropping two of three games to the Rockies. San Francisco was blanked in the series opener before winning on Tuesday, 4-2 behind Madison Bumgarner’s six strong innings of work. The Giants lost for the sixth time in seven tries in series finales in Wednesday’s 6-3 home setback in spite of grabbing an early 2-0 advantage. San Francisco failed to win a home series for the first time since losing two of three to Los Angeles in early June, while the Giants are playing a series against a division foe for the sixth time in the last seven opportunities.

These two squads hook up last weekend at Chase Field as the Giants picked up a pair of victories in the first two games prior to Arizona winning the finale. San Francisco outscored Arizona, 18-9 in the first two wins, which included an impressive debut from left fielder Alex Dickerson, who knocked out a grand slam and drove in six runs in last Friday’s 11-5 triumph. The Giants captured Game 2 by a 7-4 count as a +115 underdog before the D-backs squeezed out a 3-2 win to avoid the sweep as a -145 favorite.

Former Vanderbilt hurler Tyler Beede makes his seventh start this season for the Giants, as San Francisco owns a 3-0 record in his last three outings. All three victories came in the underdog role against the Padres, Dodgers, and Diamondbacks, as he received a no-decision in last Saturday’s 7-4 win at Arizona. Beede lasted only four innings and gave up four runs as the Giants erased an early 3-0 deficit by scoring five unanswered runs to get the right-hander off the hook.

Alex Young makes his MLB debut for Arizona as the southpaw compiled a 5.79 ERA in eight starts at Triple-A Reno. Young pitched at TCU prior to getting drafted by the D-backs in 2015, as he faces a Giants’ squad that owns a 2-6 record in the last eight home games against left-handed starting pitchers. In the past six contests at Oracle Park when facing southpaw starters, the Giants have been limited to two runs or less five times.

This series has been dominated by the road team this season, as the home squad has won only twice in nine meetings. Arizona swept San Francisco in a three-game set in late May, as the D-backs posted 34 runs, including 18 in a series opening 18-2 blowout.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Walker Buehler, Los Angeles Dodgers (8-1, 2.96 ERA, $286): With Hyun-Jin Ryu straight dealing and Clayton Kershaw still doing his thing, it could be easy to overlook Buehler. But don’t, the kid is on fire.

The right-hander has an 0.87 ERA and a ridiculous 0.45 WHIP over his last four starts. He’s also limiting opponents to a .130 on base percentage over that stretch. Buehler and the Dodgers visit the Rockies tonight and we have an in-depth break down in our Game of the Day preview.

SLUMPING

Chase Anderson, Milwaukee Brewers (3-2, 4.70 ERA, $1): Anderson has cooled off after a hot start to the season. The right-hander has been roughed up to the tune of a 7.11 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP over his last four starts. He’ll be a big favorite to bounce back today as the Brewers are -185 home favorites against the visiting Mariners. The total is 10.5.

3 STRIKES

RAYS DURING DAYS

According to a sloppy Google search, rays tend to be more active hunters at night. Perhaps that’s why their baseball brethren struggle when playing under the sun (face it… it’s nature). Tampa Bay enters Thursday’s 1:10 p.m. ET first pitch versus the Minnesota Twins with a 19-20 record in day games on the year. That’s a major decline when compared to the Rays’ 26-15 mark in night games. Minnesota, on the other hand, whoops that ass under the sun, with a 25-10 record during the day an averages 5.87 runs per outing in those contests. Tampa is an Even money underdog today.

D-BACKS VS DIVISION

Arizona is coming off a three-game set with the L.A. Dodgers, taking two of those game from the best club the majors. However, the Diamondbacks have struggled overall versus National League West foes, owning a 14-25 record against the division heading into Thursday’s series opener in San Francisco. Those troubles have not only favored those betting against Arizona but also Over backers, with the D-backs going 22-16-1 Over/Under in those divisional battles. Arizona and San Francisco have topped the total in five of their last six meetings, with today’s Over/Under set at 8.5.

JUICED IN JUNE

The Pittsburgh Pirates lineup will be sad to see the calendar turn to July after enjoying a jacked-up June in which the clubs hit a collective .292 – best in the big leagues – and averaged 5.8 runs per contest heading into today’s series finale with the Houston Astros. The Bucs collected 14 runs in Wednesday’s blowout win, handling Over bettors their 13th winner of the month. Pittsburgh is 13-7-2 Over/Under so far in June, thanks in part to those red-hot bats but also to a pitching staff leaking a puffy 5.48 ERA. Today’s total is at 9.5 runs.
