Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

NFL exhibition games this weekend:

— Chargers @ Cardinals (-2)— Pro debut for Kyler Murray.

— Colts (-2.5) @ Buffalo— No Andrew Luck for Indy.

— NJ Jets (-2) vs NJ Giants— Both teams are at home.

— Redskins (-2) @ Browns— Washington has an interesting QB competition.

— Buccaneers @ Steelers (-2.5)— Bruce Arians returns to Pittsburgh.

— Falcons @ Dolphins (-3.5)— Miami also has an interesting QB derby.


**********

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Mid-week musings…….

13) Triple-A baseball games used to use Rawlings’ standard minor league baseball, which is made in a factory in China and is less expensive. Now they use the major league baseball.

The major league baseball is handmade in Costa Rica, and it has long been considered to be a more lively baseball. The MLB baseball has a tighter construction and lower seams in general (they are handmade) than the standard minor league baseball.

In Double-A, the average hitter is hitting .241/.319/.371 this year. Guys are getting called up to AAA and routinely putting up better numbers than they did in AA. Go figure.

12) AAA pitchers are frustrated but they don’t say anything because they’re minor league pitchers and they don’t want to hurt their chances of being promoted.

There is a reason, though, why the Padres have had several of their pitching prospects skip over AAA El Paso and go from AA to the majors; El Paso being at a higher altitude, plus the juiced baseballs, add up to pitchers getting their ERA’s inflated, their confidence deflated.

11) When college basketball teams take summer trips overseas (they’re allowed one every four years) it can result in an excellent season the following winter, since teams practice more, play more and bond better as a team.

(Unless you’re USC and your point guard tears his ACL on a trip, which happened a few years ago)

West Virginia is in Spain this week, Minnesota is in Italy; next time you hear people whining about how bad college athletes have it, ask them how many free trips to Italy they’ve gotten?

10) Top five grad transfer basketball players, according to CBSSports.com:
— Kerry Blackshear, going from Virginia Tech to Florida
— Chris Clarke, going from Virginia Tech to Texas Tech
— Lamar Kimble, going from St Joe’s to Louisville
— Nate Sestina, going from Bucknell to Kentucky
— Admon Gilder, going from Texas A&M to Gonzaga

9) NCAA put in new requirements for people to become agents, and it is causing controversy. Here are the requirements:

To become an NCAA-certified agent one must:

Have a bachelor’s degree;
Have been NBPA certified for at least three consecutive years and be in good-standing.
Maintain professional liability insurance.
Submit application by appropriate deadline.

The controversy is with the college degree thing; Rich Paul is one of the most powerful agents in the NBA- he is also one of Lebron James’ oldest friends and he doesn’t have a college degree.

8) Pro Football Talk posted that there are reports from Oakland Raider land saying Antonio Brown burned the bottom of his feet by entering a cryotherapy machine without the proper footwear, and his feet were frostbitten.

Oy.

7) Baseball stuff:
— Dodgers put OF Alex Verdugo (oblique) on the IL.
— Giants DFA’d 2B Joe Panik.

6) Mariners’ SS Tim Beckham was suspended 80 games after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug.

5) White Sox reliever Aaron Bummer has appeared in 38 games; he held the first batter he’s faced in each game to 0-33 with five walks.

Because he is a lefty, some might think it will be a bummer when they change the rules and he has to face 3+ batters in an appearance, but lefties are batting .175 against him this year, righties .180, so he’s been tough against everyone.

4) Bookmaking legend Jimmy Vaccaro posted on Twitter Tuesday that when he drove to work at SouthPoint, it was 104 degrees out, but around 50 people were waiting in line for a picture by the famous “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign at the south end of the Strip.

3) When Joey Lucchesi starts on mound for San Diego, Padres are 12-6-3 in first five innings, but they’re only 9-12 overall in his starts. Lucchesi doesn’t usually get past the sixth inning; their setup guys aren’t very good.

2) Rays 7, Blue Jays 6 (10)— Tampa Bay trailed 6-0 in fourth inning.

1) A high school football team from Anaheim lost all of their equipment recently in a storage fire; the LA Chargers stepped in and donated $10,000 to help the team get back on their feet.

This is what we need more of; people helping other people out.

Wednesday's Tip Sheet
August 7, 2019
By Kevin Rogers

Yankees (-250, 9 ½) at Orioles – 7:05 PM EST

New York (74-39) continues to pull away in the American League East after winning its seventh consecutive game in Tuesday’s 9-4 victory at Baltimore. The Yankees picked up their 10th straight win over the Orioles thanks to six home runs, while four pitchers tossed at least two innings to help New York improve to 12-2 against Baltimore this season.

The offense continues to thrive when facing the O’s as the Yankees have scored at least six runs in all nine wins at Camden Yards this season, while not losing a game in Baltimore. Aaron Boone’s squad has drilled the OVER in 14 of the past 17 games overall, including nine consecutive OVERS in games played away from the Bronx.

The Yankees seek the sweep this evening behind James Paxton (6-6, 4.61 ERA), who ended a five-start winless streak by beating the Red Sox in his previous trip to the mound last Friday. Paxton tossed six innings of two-hit ball, while allowing two earned runs in a 4-2 victory as a -125 home favorite. All six runs came in the first inning as UNDER bettors were sweating the total of 10, but Paxton and the Yankees’ bullpen didn’t allow a run in the final eight innings.

The Orioles (38-75) dropped their 40th home game of the season on Tuesday, marking the most home defeats of any team in the league. Since the start of July, Baltimore has won five of six games coming off back-to-back losses, while last getting swept in a series of three or more games at Oakland in mid-June.

Left-hander John Means (8-6, 3.12 ERA) returns to the mound following a stint on the injured list as the Orioles’ hurler lasted less than four innings at Arizona in his previous outing on July 24. Means has not started against the Yankees this season, but faced them in relief during the first week and allowed one run in 5.2 innings of work. The O’s have pulled off five victories with Means starting as an underdog of +140 or higher, including recent home victories over Boston and Cleveland.

Royals at Red Sox (-310, 10 ½) – 7:10 PM EST

Dating back to July 28, Kansas City (41-74) actually has more wins than Boston (60-56). Granted, the Royals have won twice in this span and the Red Sox have only one victory, but Kansas City snapped a seven-game skid overall and an eight-game drought to Boston dating back to last May in Tuesday’s 6-2 triumph at Fenway Park. The Royals cashed as a +175 underdog behind six solid innings from Jakob Junis, while Jorge Soler went deep twice for Kansas City to raise his home run total on the season to 31.

The Royals look to improve on a 1-6 mark in their last seven road series finales as Glenn Sparkman (3-7, 5.58 ERA) takes the mound. Sparkman has been knocked around recently by allowing 19 runs in the last three starts, all losses to Cleveland twice and Minnesota. Sparkman held his own against the Red Sox at home back in early June by tossing 5.1 innings and giving up three hits and one run. Kansas City couldn’t hold onto a 2-0 lead as Boston rallied for an 8-3 victory, aided by five runs in the final two innings.

Eduardo Rodriguez (13-5, 4.19 ERA) counters for Boston as the Red Sox have won 17 of the southpaw’s 23 starts this season. The Sox had won Rodriguez’s previous five starts before falling to the Yankees, 4-2 last Friday in the Bronx. Rodriguez was staked an early 2-0 lead before allowing a grand slam in the bottom of the first inning, resulting in all of New York’s runs for the game. The left-hander was the winning pitcher against Sparkman and the Royals back on June 4 by striking out seven batters in 5.2 innings to cash as a nearly -200 road favorite in the 8-3 win.

Boston has struggled in series finales recently by losing six of its past seven in this situation, while dropping five of the last six games at Fenway since taking the first three against the Yankees in late July.

Phillies at Diamondbacks (-135, 9) – 9:40 PM EST

Philadelphia and Arizona have split the first two games of their series at Chase Field as the two squads play the rubber match of their set tonight. The Phillies (59-54) pulled away from the Diamondbacks (57-57) in Monday’s opener, 7-3, highlighted by seven strong innings from Vince Velasquez. Arizona rebounded last night with six late runs in an 8-4 triumph in Mike Leake’s debut on the mound after getting traded from Seattle. Leake allowed 11 hits and three runs in 5.1 innings, but he was helped out by three Arizona home runs, including Eduardo Escobar’s 25th dinger on the season.

The Phillies has won eight of their last nine games coming off a loss as Jason Vargas (6-5, 3.93 ERA) makes his second start since being acquired from the Mets at the trade deadline. Vargas picked up a no-decision in his Phillies’ debut last Friday in a 4-3 setback to the White Sox as a -170 home favorite. The left-hander pitched well by giving up two runs and five hits in 6.1 innings, but Chicago outlasted Philadelphia in 15 innings.

The D-backs will see plenty of their division foes following tonight’s contest as the next 13 games come against the NL West, starting with Friday’s series in Los Angeles. Arizona sits 2 ½ games behind Philadelphia for the second Wild Card position in the National League, but the D-backs also trail the Cardinals, Brewers, and Mets.

Zac Gallen (1-3, 2.72 ERA) makes his debut with the Diamondbacks after getting dealt from the Marlins last week as the rookie right-hander is coming off a pair of solid outings against the White Sox and Twins. Gallen tossed seven innings in each of those starts, including striking out nine batters in a 2-0 triumph at Chicago on July 24 as a short underdog. Gallen is listed as a favorite for the first time in eight starts as the Marlins owned a 2-5 record when the right-hander took the mound.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Gerrit Cole, Houston Astros (13-5, 2.87 ERA, $194): The Astros have an embarrassment of riches in the starting rotation. Cole is our streaking starter, but Verlander is hotter, Greinke there now, and their fifth starter, Aaron Sanchez just threw a combined no-hitter. Wow.

Anyways, 1.29 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP with 33 punchouts over his last four starts. Additionally, Cole has allowed more than two earned runs just once since May 27th. That’s pretty good. Houston ins a massive -350 home favorite this afternoon against the Rockies.

SLUMPING

Yusei Kikuchi, Seattle Mariners (4-8, 5.49 ERA, $-574): To be fair, most of the Mariners are struggling, but Kikuchi’s current four-game stretch has been pretty rough. The right-hander has been tuned for an 8.24 ERA with a 1.63 WHIP over that stretch. He and the Mariners are +135 home dogs for tonight’s matchup against the Padres.



BOMBERS AND BIRDS

Most trends that really catch your eye usually start around 10 games or so and you’re happy if they last another week or so. But not this one. Get this, the Yankees and Orioles have played to the Over 41 times in the last 52 meetings, with 10 Unders and one Push. This has a lot to do with the Yankees unreal lineup and the Orioles historic awfulness, but we digress. Tonight’s matchup features the struggling James Paxton (6-6, 4.61 ERA) of the Yankees going up against John Means (8-6, 3.12 ERA) of the Orioles.

Paxtion has an 8.78 ERA in his last three starts and a 5.83 ERA on the road, while Means has an ERA of 6.46 over his last three starts. Means has also never started against the Yankees, which is the same boat Asher Wojciechowski was in last night and he allowed five runs on six hits in four innings, including three dingers. The Over tonight is 10.

PLUNDERING THE PIRATES

The Pirates have settled at the bottom of the NL Central standings after dropping 14 of their previous 16 games and most of that damage has come against division foes. The Buccos have lost five consecutive series against NL Central teams, including losing the first two games of their current series with the Brewers. Pittsburgh has also lost 10 of its last 13 meetings with Milwaukee.

Trevor Williams (4-4, 4.75) gets the call for the Pirates, while the Brewers counter with newly acquired Drew Pomeranz (2-9, 5.54). The Pirates are +115 home dogs with a total of 9.5.
