Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

— Nationals 17, Reds 7— Game was 1-0 in middle of 5th inning.

— Rockies 7, Arizona 6— Nolan Arenado hit a walk-off tater.

— Braves 6, Mets 4— Keuchel tossed six shutout innings.

— Phillies 11, Cubs 1— Charlie Manuel’s 1st game as hitting coach was a success.

— Dodgers 9, Marlins 1— Kershaw struck out Miami’s first seven hitters.

— Brewers 6, Twins 5— Rookie OF Grisham hit a 3-run HR in 8th inning.

**********

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

13) Smart move; ESPN’s new gambling-related program, Daily Wager, will have a 9am Sunday slot on ESPN2 during football season. It actually should be on closer to kickoff, but a very good move to give it Sunday exposure.

12) July sports betting revenue in New Jersey: $17,884,790

Year-to-date sports betting revenue in New Jersey: $127,518,555

11) According to Caesar’s sportsbook, Miami Dolphins are 5-2 favorites to finish with the worst record in the NFL this season. Giants/Bengals have next-lowest odds, at 9-2.

10) This makes no sense to me; you can go into the Army and fight in a war at age 18, but you can’t gamble in a casino until you’re 21. No bueno.

9) Sounds as if LT Trent Williams won’t be playing for the Redskins anytime soon, which is bad news for Washington fans and for the health of the Redskins’ QB’s.

8) A’s 9, Giants 5— 30-year old rookie named Corban Joseph went 1-4, knocked in a run in this game, his first in MLB this year, six years after his MLB debut.

In 2013, Joseph went 1-6 in two games for Bronx; last year, he was 4-18 in 14 games for the Orioles. This year, Joseph hit .371 at AAA Las Vegas, so he got the call this week with Oakland struggling getting offense from the keystone position.

That is what is cool about the minor leagues; guys who refuse to give up on their dreams, and once in a while, they get called (back) up to the majors and those dreams are realized.

7) Baseball stuff:
— Giants put 3B Pablo Sandoval on the IL.
— Mets put 2B/OF Jeff MacNeil (hamstring) on the IL.
— Rays put OF Avisail Garcia (oblique) on the IL.
— Pirates’ P Jameson Taillon had Tommy John surgery Tuesday.
— Arizona P Robbie Ray took himself out of Wednesday’s game after two innings.

6) Olive Garden is offering a limited number of customers unlimited pasta for life for $500 beginning Thursday at 2pm. At $10.99 a pop, you go more than 45 times the rest of your life, and you’re making money on the deal.

They offered the same deal two years ago and they sold out in under 90 seconds.

5) Odd Fact of the Day;
— Hunter Renfroe is an outfielder for the San Diego Padres.
— Hunter Renfrow is a wide receiver for the Oakland Raiders.

4) Tampa Bay Rays average 15,000+ fans per home game; they average 26,000+ on the road.

3) On August 1, a 22-year-old gambler wagered $2,000 on the Mets to win the World Series at a FanDuel sportsbook, which would pay him $200,000. Mets were 52-55 at the time, but had won six games in a row.

2) They had Bark at the Park at the Rockies’ game Tuesday night; there was a dog there that weighs 190 pounds. Can’t even imagine owning a dog that is so big- its owners said the dog sleeps 18 hours a day.

1) New York 6, Baltimore 5— Hard to believe, but the Orioles were in the playoffs three years ago; they’re 39-82 this season, and have zero hope of contending anytime soon. Pitching is a very important part of baseball, and the Orioles are sorely lacking in pitching prospects.

Mercifully, this is the last time these two teams meet this season.

The St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds tangle in the Queen City at Great American Ball Park on Thursday evening, kicking off a four-game set between these National League Central Division rivals. The Reds are limping home after having their lunch handed to them in D.C. by the red-hot Washington Nationals. The Nats capped off a three-game sweep with a 17-7 whitewashing on Wednesday which resembled more of a score we'd expect from the upcoming Cincinnati Bengals-Washington Redskins preseason football game this week.

The Reds were outscored 27-14 in the three-game sete, and the over has been the rule for Cincinnati of late. The over is an impressive 8-2-1 across the past 11 outings, while going 4-1-1 in the past six at GABP. The over is also 4-0 in RHP Sonny Gray's past four outings, and 5-2 in the team's past seven against right-handed starting pitchers, while going an impressive 6-2-1 in their past nine against winning sides

For the Cardinals, it's been the complete opposite. The under is a perfect 6-0 in their past six away from home, while going 5-0 in the past five on the road vs. RHP and 5-1-1 in the past seven inside the division. The under is also 22-8-1 in their past 31 games overall. With RHP Michael Wacha on the hill, he is good for under results, too. The under is 4-0 across his past four showings, 5-1 in his past six on the road and 4-0 in his past four in Game 1 of a new series. If you're looking for some support for the over, it is 4-1-1 in the past six starts by Wacha against division foes and 6-1-1 in his past eight starts when working on nine or more days of rest.

Out west, the Houston Astros and Oakland Athletics square off in the Bay Area. Newcomer RHP Aaron Sanchez goes for the Astros, and he'll be opposed by RHP Mike Fiers, who had a no-hitter earlier this season.

Sanchez will be making his third start since being acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays at the Major League Baseball trade deadline. He has allowed just one earned run, three hits and five walks with 12 strikeouts over 11 innings in his two outings. The under hit in his first appearance for Houston, but the Astros piled up 23 runs in a massacre in Baltimore in his most recent outing. Overall the under is 8-2 in Houston's past 10 inside the AL West, and 10-3 in the past 13 against teams with a winning overall record.

For the A's, the under is 4-1-1 in the past six overall, 4-1 in the past five at home vs. RHP and 7-2 in the past nine against teams with a winning percentage over .600. As far as Fiers is concerned, the under is 9-2 across his past 11 showings, 5-2 in his past seven at home and 7-2 in his past nine against winning teams. The under is also 5-1 in his past six in Game 1 of a new series. The under has also cashed in five of the past seven meetings in this series, too.

Wind Report
Winds will be light and variable at most MLB venues, and not much of a factor as a result. The only venues which might be slightly affected will be Yankee Stadium, for the Indians-Yankees battle, and SunTrust Park for the Mets-Braves contest. In New York, the winds will be blowing in from right field to home plate at 7-10 mph clip, while in Atlanta the winds are blowing out from 6-9 mph to straightaway center field.

Friday, Aug. 16

The Orioles limp into Fenway Park to face the Red Sox, kicking off a three-game set. The over has been the rule for both of these teams lately. The over has connected in six straight on the road for the Orioles, while going 7-0-1 in their past eight inside the AL East. The over is also an impressive 9-1-1 in the past 11 vs. RHP, and 24-8-3 in the past 35 against teams with a winning overall record. For the BoSox, the over is 23-8-1 in their previous 32 games inside the division, while hitting in eight of their past 11 vs. RHP. With RHP Rick Porcello on the hill, the over has cashed in six straight at Fenway Park, and eight in a row on a grass surface. In this series, the over is 4-1-1 in the past six meetings, and 3-1-1 in Porcello's past five against the O's.

The Mets stroll into Kauffman Stadium kicking off a three-game interleague set against the lowly Royals. The Mets will be facing LHP Mike Montgomery, and the under is 5-0-1 in their past six against a left-handed starter, while going 3-0-1 in the past four on the road vs. LHP. The under is also 4-1 in their past five interleague road games, and 6-1 in the past seven interleague games overall. RHP Noah Syndergaard takes the ball, and the under is 4-1-1 in his past six away from home when facing a team with a losing overall mark, although the over is 8-2 in his past 10 when working on five days of rest. For the Royals, it's all under all the time lately. The under is 4-1 in their past five overall, 4-1 in the past five against winning teams and 5-0 in the past five vs. RHP. The under is also 25-7 in their past 32 against the Senior Circuit, while going 22-7-1 in the past 30 interleague battles at home.

In Oakland, the Astros use RHP Justin Verlander against new Athletics hurler RHP Tanner Roark, facing the Astros for the first time donning green and gold. The under is 11-3 in Verlander's past 14 starts against teams with a winning overall record, while going 3-1-1 in his past five inside the division. The under is also 4-1 in his past five overall, and 21-7-1 in his past 29 while working on four days of rest. As far as Roark is concerned, he has allowed four runs - three earned - and 10 hits across 11 2/3 innings while striking out 13 in his two starts with the A's. The under has connected in each of his outings with Oakland.

Wind Report
On Friday night, a hot wind will be howling at 11-14 mph from right field into the face of the batters at Globe Life Park for the Twins-Rangers battle. The Marlins-Rockies will experience 8-11 mph winds blowing in from right field, while the Mets and Royals will see winds from 6-9 mph blowing in from right field as they dodge raindrops. The rain chances are 30 percent for the interleague series opener.

Thursday's NL Tip Sheet
August 15, 2019
By Kevin Rogers

Mets at Braves (-120, 10) – 7:20 PM EST

The Mets (61-59) are hoping the clock isn’t striking midnight faster than they think. Following a 15-1 run, New York has dropped three consecutive games, including each of the first two contests of its series against NL East-leading Atlanta (72-50). The Braves are coming off a pair of two-run victories in each of the first two games, including a 6-4 triumph at SunTrust Park on Wednesday.

The two division rivals sat through a lengthy rain delay prior to the Braves grabbing a 1-0 lead in the second inning, an advantage that would last until the seventh inning. New York went in front, 2-1 on a two-run single by J.D. Davis, but that lead was short-lived as the Braves rebounded with five runs in the bottom of the seventh inning. Atlanta didn’t go the power route in that frame, instead scoring four of the runs on singles to pick up consecutive home wins for the first time since July 4 and 5.

Atlanta seeks the sweep tonight as Julio Teheran (7-7, 3.35 ERA) takes the mound, seeking his first home victory since June 13. The Braves have won six of Teheran’s last eight starts, including an 8-4 win at Miami last Friday as a -145 road favorite. In spite of Teheran not picking up a home victory in his last four starts, the right-hander has allowed four earned runs in this span, but the Braves lost to the Reds and Royals in his past two outings at SunTrust Park.

Teheran is facing the Mets for the fourth time this season as the Braves are 2-1 in the first three starts. Back in mid-April, Teheran defeated Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom as a +145 home underdog, 7-3, as the Braves’ hurler scattered six hits and allowed one run in six innings. deGrom and the Mets picked up revenge in the next matchup at SunTrust Park on June 18 as the Braves were pounded, 10-2 and Teheran lasted four innings while giving up six runs. Teheran didn’t make it through four innings at Citi Field on June 29, but the Braves edged the Mets, 5-4.

Marcus Stroman (6-11, 3.20 ERA) makes his third start for the Mets since getting dealt from Toronto in late July. New York has rallied for victory in each of his first two outings as the Mets overcame a 3-1 deficit in a 7-5 triumph at Pittsburgh on July 3 although Stroman didn’t finish the fifth inning. Stroman tossed six innings in his home debut against Washington last Friday and allowed four runs, but the Mets pulled off one of the biggest stunners of the season by rallying for four ninth inning runs in a 7-6 win as a +115 underdog.

The Braves are seeking their third home sweep of the season as Atlanta took three from Chicago in early April and pulled off a four-game sweep of Pittsburgh in mid-June. The Mets are 0-3 this season when trying to avoid a road sweep of three or more games, as New York scored 3, 0, and 2 runs in those defeats.

Giants at Diamondbacks (-148, 9 ½) – 9:40 PM EST

The NL West race is basically over as the Dodgers are on their way to their seventh consecutive division title. However, San Francisco (60-61) and Arizona (61-60) each have ambitions to make the playoffs through the Wild Card route. The Diamondbacks sit 3 ½ games behind the Cubs for the second Wild Card spot in the National League, while the Giants are lurking at 4 ½ games back, but the Brewers, Phillies, and Mets are also fighting it out for a postseason position.

The Giants head out to the desert to begin a crucial nine-game road trip, which continues to Chicago on Tuesday to face the Cubs, followed by a return to the Bay Area to square off with the rival Athletics next weekend in Oakland. San Francisco split a pair of games with Oakland at Oracle Park to finish its homestand at 4-5, capped off by a 9-5 defeat to the A’s on Wednesday. The Giants fell behind 7-0 before rallying for five runs in the eighth inning to make things interesting. Oakland tacked on two runs in the ninth for some breathing room and the victory as Tyler Beede took the loss for San Francisco as the Giants are 0-5 in the right-hander’s last five outings.

Arizona concluded its road trip at 3-3 following a loss in walk-off fashion to Colorado on Wednesday, 7-6. The D-backs captured the first two games at Coors Field against the struggling Rockies and built a 5-2 advantage in the finale, but Colorado tied the game at 5-5 and scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to prevent Arizona’s first road sweep since early June at Toronto.

The D-backs send out rookie Alex Young (4-2, 3.32 ERA), who is coming off losses in his last two starts to the Nationals and Dodgers. Young wasn’t helped out by his offense in those defeats, as Arizona was shut out in each game, while the former TCU standout gave up four runs in 3.1 innings of a 4-0 setback at Los Angeles last Saturday. The southpaw dominated the Giants at Oracle Park in his Major League debut on June 27 in a 5-1 victory as Young struck out five batters in five innings.

The Giants have won eight of their last nine road series openers heading into tonight’s action as Dereck Rodriguez (4-6, 5.32 ERA) makes his first start since August 1. Rodriguez was knocked around by the Phillies in a 10-2 setback as a +145 road underdog, marking only his second away loss of the season. In each of his four road victories, Rodriguez has not lasted past the sixth inning, but he has defeated the Rockies, Padres, and Nationals in the underdog role, while starting against Arizona for the first time this season.

San Francisco has seen success at Chase Field this season by capturing two of three games twice, including a series win in late June. Arizona has lost three of its past four home series openers, as the D-backs have scored three runs or fewer in the three defeats.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Mike Fiers, Oakland Athletics (11-3, 3.30 ERA, $662): Fiers is fire. The A’s right-hander owns a sparkling 1.79 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP in six starts since the All-Star break and is coming off of a seven-inning of shutout, three-hit ball against the White Sox.

However, Fiers is up a tough foe as the A’s host the division leading Astros. The A’s are currently +110 home dogs for the opener and for a complete breakdown of this matchup, check out our Game of the Day betting preview.

SLUMPING

Drew Smyly, Philadelphia Phillies (2-6, 6.96 ERA, $-74): Smyly has come back down to Earth a bit after getting off to a good start in Philadelphia. The lefty has surrendered nine runs on 11 hits, which includes four dingers, in his last two starts and those came against the Giants and White Sox. Not exactly a murderer’s row of lineups. Smyly and the Phillies are +130 home dogs for tonight’s matchup with the Cubs.
