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

13) Kansas City Royals won the World Series four years ago; they struck out 973 times the entire regular season.

Today is July 22, and Seattle/Texas have already struck out more than that this season.

12) Houston’s Yuli Gurriel has 13 homers and 28 RBIs in his last 22 games; he’s homered in five of his last six home games.

11) Boston’s Rick Porcello won his last three starts, despite allowing 16 runs in 17.2 IP; Red Sox scored 50 runs in his last four starts.

10) Chances are you had a better Sunday than golfer JB Holmes, who started out 66-68-69 at the British Open, but then imploded with an 87 Thursday, shooting a 46 on the back nine.

9) Run differential is a misleading stat; Arizona is +63, the Giants are -42, but both teams are 50-50, and thats the only stat the really counts.

8) Kawhi Leonard was at the Pacquiao-Thurman fight in Las Vegas Saturday night and was wearing one of his championship rings from the Spurs. Now you know why some of these guys go around with bodyguards; thats a pretty expensive ring.

7) Baseball stuff:
— Giants DFA’d P Derek Holland.
— Orioles DFA’d Keon Broxton.
— Rays put OF Kevin Keirmaier (thumb) on the IL.
— Rockies DFA’d 1B Mark Reynolds

6) Giants 3, Mets 2 (12)— On June 29, San Francisco was 35-47; the only thing that mattered was where they were trading Madison Bumgarner. Now the Giants are 50-50, 2.5 games out of a playoff spot and maybe Bumgarner ain’t going anywhere.

5) Colorado 8, New York 4— Bronx Bombers are 10-6 this month; 0-4 when Paxton starts, 10-2 with everyone else. Rockies lost 13 of their last 16 games.

4) Orioles 5, Red Sox 0— Boston gets one hit in 7.1 innings against Asher Wojciechowski, and you have to think the Red Sox are going to make a big splash on the trade market. Red Sox are three games out of a playoff spot- they play New York next weekend.

3) Phil Mickelson and Eldrick Woods have played in 83 majors together; this week was first time they both missed the cut in the same major.

2) If you don’t think time flies, NFL training camps open this week. Can’t even imagine what football was like in the old days, when teams did two-a-day practices in pads in this heat, for most of the summer.

1) Nothing against Harold Baines, but he is a Hall of Famer and Dave Parker isn’t?

Ballpark Figures - Week 18
Joe Williams

Bring Their 'A' Game

The Oakland Athletics hit the road for the Gulf Coast to battle the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. The A's enter the series 6 1/2 games back of the Astros for first place in the American League West Division, so they'll need to bring their 'A' game (yep, said it again!).

The A's have been red-hot lately, winning 21 of their past 29 games on the road, while going 38-18 across the past 56 outings to get themselves right back into the hunt for a playoff spot as we wrap up the month of July. A good reason for their resurgence has been their ability to hit right-handed pitchers, as they're 20-7 in the past 27 vs. RHP, and 8-3 in the past 11 on the road against righties. They are also 7-1 in the past eight games inside the division, while going 12-1 in the past 13 games following a loss. Oakland has also won four of the past five in Game 1 of a new series.

Houston has won five straight, and they're 5-0 in the past five games against teams with a winning overall record while winning four straight against right-handed starting pitchers, too. Like the A's, the Astros have also been hot inside the division, winning 39 of the past 52 (.750 winning percentage) against AL West foes. The Astros turn to RHP Gerrit Cole, and that usually ends up favorably. The Astros are 22-5 in the past 27 starts by Cole, while going 5-1 in his past six against winning teams and 4-1 in his past six inside the division, too. Meanwhile, Houston is also 49-20 in their past 69 games at 'The Juice Box', while going 16-5 across Cole's past 21 in Game 1 of a new series.

In this series, the Astros are 5-1 in the past six starts by Cole against the A's. Oakland has also dropped four in a row in Houston, while winning just 15 of the past 53 against the Astros overall. As such, the A's are probably left saying, "Houston, we have a..." Yeah, nevermind.

Looking Ahead

Monday, July 22

The Cardinals wheel out RHP Daniel Ponce De Leon against Pirates RHP Trevor Williams, who was pushed back a couple of days due to illness. St. Louis definitely doesn't have a case of the Mondays, as they have won six in a row on the day. They're also 4-1 in the past five overall, 4-1 in the past five vs. RHP and 4-1 in Ponce De Leon's past five outings, too. For the Bucs, they're 10-4 in the past 14 home outings, but they have won just twice in the past nine contests. They are 10-2 in the past 12 at home vs. RHP, and 6-1 in the past seven starts by Williams.

It's a battle of lefties at Target Field when LHP CC Sabathia toes the slab against LHP Martin Perez in a key American League series opener. The Yankees have won seven of the past 10 on the road, and they're 8-3 in the past 11 vs. LHP. While they're 9-4 in Sabathia's past 13 on a grass surface, New York is 1-5 in the past six road outings by CC, and 0-4 in his past four on the road against winning teams. The Twins are 0-4 in the past four vs. LHP, and 1-4 in the past five at home against southpaws. The Twins have also won just two of the past seven overall, and they're 2-6 in the past eight following a victory. In this series, the Yankees are 12-2 in CC's past 14 against the Twins, and 7-0 in his past seven starts at Target Field. The Yankees have won 27 of the past 37 trips to the Twin Cities, too.

Weather Report
There is a 40 percent chance of showers for the Rockies-Nationals series opener, picking up as the evening progresses. A day-night doubleheader on Tuesday might be needed. If they do get this one in, the winds will be blowing 10-13 mph out to the right-center field power alley.

On the south side of Chicago, the Marlins and White Sox will face a jetsteam of 12-15 mph out to right field. Other than that, the weather looks good across MLB.

Tuesday, July 23

RHPs Domingo German and Kyle Gibson lock horns in Game 2 of the series at Target Field. The Yankees have won seven of the past nine road outings by German, and 18 of his past 24 starts overall. The Yankees are also an impressive 42-14 in the past 56 against right-handed starters (.750 winning percentage), while going 5-0 in German's past five against winning teams. The Twins are 47-21 in the past 68 at home vs. RHP, and 4-1 in Gibson's past five starts overall. They're also 6-2 in Gibson's past eight at home. However, Minnesota is 0-7 in Gibson's past seven tries against the Bronx Bombers, and 0-5 in his past five starts at home. The over is also 7-2 in Gibson's past nine against New York, and 4-1 in his past five home outings against the Yanks.

The Royals and Braves start an interleague series at SunTrust Park on Tuesday, and LHP Danny Duffy will work against LHP Dallas Keuchel. The Royals have won five of the past seven overall, but they're just 1-4 in the past five against the NL East. They're also 6-18 in Duffy's past 24 against winning teams, and 0-5 in his past five working on five days of rest. The Braves are 9-2 in the past 11 vs. LHP, while going 4-1 in their past five at home against southpaws. They're also 16-6 in the past 22 at home.

The Angels and Dodgers kick off the latest installment of the Freeway Series, this time in Chavez Ravine. RHP Felix Pena goes for the Halos, while RHP Kenta Maeda works for Dodger Blue. The Angels have won seven of the past 10 games overall, and five of their past seven interleague battles. However, they're just 2-6 in the past eight interleague games on the road, while going 1-4 in Pena's past five tries on the road. The Dodgers have won 40 of their past 52 games at home, and they're 27-8 in the past 35 games against winning teams. They have also won six of Maeda's past eight home outings while going 6-1 in his past seven against winning teams. The under is 7-1 in the past eight meetings, while going 5-1 in the past six battles in L.A. The Angels have won just three of their past 11 trips to Dodger Stadium, too.

Weather Report
There is only one trouble spot as far as the elements. The Cubs and Giants will see a 10-13 mph wind blowing out to straightaway center field, but there is no precipitation in the forecast across all MLB venues.

Hot & Not Report - Umpires
July 22, 2019
By VI News

Who's Hot and Who's Not

Week of July 22nd

Now that we are in the final full week of July, it's time to re-visit those MLB umpire trends again as we have the past two months. Another 30 or so days of data is always beneficial to be aware of as you go through the daily grind of handicapping the MLB board, and even in today's “juiced ball” era, of the 81 umpires that have been behind the dish at least 10 times this year, 45 of them have seen at least 50% of their games stay 'under' the respective total – ignoring the 50%'s there are 36 umps who've had more 'overs' than 'unders' and 33 umps who have more 'unders' than 'overs'.

But these pieces the past two months are more about the guys who are on the extreme ends of that spectrum (70% or more) and as expected, these lists continue to get shorter and shorter with each passing month. By the time the end of the regular season rolls around, most umps will probably fall somewhere between the 35% and 65% range when looking at either 'over' or 'under' percentages. That notion would suggest – as would the fact that these lists of 70% of greater do get shorter – that's it's probably better to look the other way when you find these guys behind the dish during the coming weeks, as actual totals and betting percentages from the market tend to take these things at face value and blindly follow 'under' umps to 'unders' and vice-versa.

So here is this month's list of guys to keep an eye on no matter how you decide to play it. With all the discussion of “juiced balls” and half the league on pace to set franchise records in HR's hit, totals continue to climb and implicit value in 'unders' might never be higher. Just another thing to consider.

Who's Hot – 70% or better to the 'Over' umpires

Alan Porter (13-3 O/U)
Jeff Kellogg (11-3 O/U)
Alfonso Marquez (12-4 O/U)
Carlos Torres (12-5 O/U)
Brian Knight (7-3 O/U)

This list is one name shorter compared to last month's list, and going from six guys down to five is significant. It's not the same five guys from a month ago as Mike Winters, Chad Whitson, and Tom Hallion have all seemingly expanded their strike zones a bit to drop down from the 70% club, as Whitson made the biggest move, going from 10-4 O/U in late June to 11-8 O/U now. That's a great example of what I was referring to earlier in that guys tend to regress to the mean as the year goes on, and with numbers potentially being a shade or two higher when these guys are umping – oddsmakers know this data as well – in a general sense it can pay to go the other way.

Yet, at the same time, the three holdovers from June's list – Alan Porter, Jeff Kellogg, and Carlos Torres have yet to regress much at all. However, all three of them haven't had nearly as many chances behind the plate in that time, as Porter's 1-1 O/U since last month, Kellogg is 1-0 O/U and Torres is 2-1 O/U. Not exactly a huge edge either way there, and there is even an argument to be made that a possible regression is coming for at least one of them.

Who's Not – 70% of better to the 'Under' umpires

Jerry Meals (4-13 O/U)
Andy Fletcher (4-11 O/U)
Joe West (5-13 O/U)
Kerwin Danley (4-10 O/U)
Gary Cederstrom (5-12 O/U)

This list has expanded in volume by one name since June's breakdown, as both Kerwin Danley and Gary Cederstrom are new additions to this side of the ledger. Danley is 0-2-1 O/U in three games behind the dish since the week of June 24th, while Cederstrom's a perfect 0-4 O/U in that same span. The latter actually sees more runs per game (8.1) then Danley does (7.4), but both totals are so low relative to the totals we see on a daily basis in the market that you can understand how they've done well to the 'under' during the past four weeks.

Meals, Fletcher and “Cowboy” Joe West continue to be guys that are very pitcher friendly and aren't scared to have a floating strike zone out there at times. But just like the holdovers from the 'over' list, these guys have relatively stayed at the mean during the past month, with all three of them going 2-2 O/U during the past month of action. Again, that's a great example of how some totals can be skewed a slice to one side or the other based on an umpire's season-long stats, but the further you get in a year it tends to come back towards the 50% mark. The two 'overs' that Fletcher had saw 13 and 16 runs scored respectively and he still only sees 7.7 runs per game on average. Early season numbers can skew things to such a degree that the context of a situation gets conveniently ignored.

As these next few weeks roll by, I would expect that August's update sees these lists either stay the same in terms of volume or shrink even further. There will still be situations where following these guys (taking 'unders' with the 'under' umps etc), there is likely more inherent value in looking the other way the further we get in the season.

LEADING OFF: Skaggs' funeral, White Sox debut full netting
July 21, 2019
By The Associated Press

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

PAYING RESPECTS

Ryan Braun will miss Milwaukee's home game against the Cincinnati Reds to attend the funeral of Los Angeles Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs, who was found dead in a Texas hotel room on July 1. Braun and Skaggs were workout buddies. Mike Trout and the Angels have an off day between road series at Seattle and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

NET GAINS

The Chicago White Sox are set to become the first team to have protective netting in place entirely from foul pole to foul pole when they host Miami. Washington also has extended its netting in midseason - nearly as far as the White Sox.

The new netting at Guaranteed Rate Field and Nationals Park will debut a day after another fan was injured by a foul ball. Cleveland star Francisco Lindor said he was told his liner at Progressive Field sent a 3-year-old boy to the hospital.

Several fans, some of them young children, have been hurt all around the majors this season by foul balls. Some teams have added extra netting as a result.

REMEMBER ME?

Adam Jones will see plenty of former teammates when the Diamondbacks host Baltimore. Jones spent 11 years in the Orioles' outfield before signing with Arizona in spring training. Jones, who turns 34 on Aug. 1, is hitting .267 with 13 home runs and 44 RBIs.

EYES ON OCTOBER

It's a matchup of American League division leaders and a potential playoff preview when the Yankees visit Minnesota. One day after turning 39, left-hander CC Sabathia (5-4) starts for New York against Martin Perez (8-3). After a 7-3 homestand, the Yankees (64-34) have a nine-game cushion in the AL East over Tampa Bay. Meanwhile, the Twins (60-38) are three up on Cleveland in the AL Central.

HOW THE WEST IS WON

Michael Brantley and the AL West-leading Astros seek their sixth consecutive victory when they host second-place Oakland, which has won eight of 10. All-Star Gerrit Cole (10-5, 3.12 ERA) gets the ball for the Astros, who are 6+ games ahead of the Athletics. Cole struck out 11 and allowed one run in seven innings last time out against the Angels. Homer Bailey (8-6, 4.69) makes his second start for Oakland since coming over in a July 14 trade with the Royals. He beat Seattle in his A's debut last Wednesday.

STATUS REPORT

Twins center fielder Byron Buxton could come off the seven-day concussion list and play against the Yankees. He worked out at Target Field on Sunday and was eligible to be activated, but stayed on the injured list. ... Brewers All-Star pitcher Brandon Woodruff exited his start Sunday at Arizona with a strained left oblique and is headed to the injured list. The right-hander is 11-3 with a 3.75 ERA.
