Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

Week 1 NFL spreads:

— Packers @ Bears (-3.5, 46)

— Falcons @ Vikings (-4, 47.5)

— Redskins @ Eagles (-8.5, 46.5)

— Bills @ Jets (-3, 39)

— Ravens (-4.5, 37.5) @ Dolphins

— 49ers @ Buccaneers (-1, 49)


**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday

13) White Sox TV analyst Steve Stone is on vacation this week, so play-by-play guy Jason Benetti recruited various replacements, one of whom was Bill Walton, who worked Friday night’s game in Anaheim. As usual, I learned a lot from listening, and this is without taking notes:

— South America is the continent with the most bird species living on it.
— There are 129 community colleges in California.
— There are more people living in Orange County than in 21 states.
— “Happy Birthday to You” is the most widely-sung song in this country.

And this historical gem; when Marvin Miller was elected Executive Director of the Major League Baseball Players Association in 1966, the guy he beat out for the job is someone we’ve all heard of: Richard M. Nixon.

12) Philadelphia Eagles did a very smart thing and got QB Josh McCown to un-retire from the NFL and join them as a backup QB. McCown had recently started a studio job with ESPN- he is guaranteed $2M this year, can earn up to $5.4M with incentives.

McCown is 40 years old, has a career 23-53 W-L record in the NFL.

11) Which reminds me that a couple years ago, the reason CBS hired Tony Romo as an analyst is that the guy they hired first (Jay Cutler) also un-retired to play for the Dolphins (for $10M) so CBS scrambled for a replacement. Romo is a really, really good TV analyst.

Still want to hear Cutler, though; he has retired again but is on a reality show with his wife on the E! Channel (Very Cavallari)- he has a dry sense of humor.

10) Arizona P Alex Young is 4-3, 3.98 in his first nine games with the Diamondbacks; problem for Young is that Arizona was shut out in each of his last three starts. Hard to win that way.

9) Saturday was the 34th day in a row that a major leaguer hit two homers in a game.

8) Brewers 15, Nationals 14 (14)— Washington blew an 11-8 lead in 9th inning, then Brewers blew leads in 9th, 13th innings before finally winning just before 1am. Teams play again today, about 12.5 hours after this game ended.

7) Baseball stuff:
— Dodgers P Julio Urias was suspended 20 games by MLB (domestic violence)
— Red Sox put P Chris Sale (elbow) on the IL.
— Colorado put P Chad Bettis (hip) on the IL.
— Braves put OF Ender Inciarte (hamstring) on the IL.

6) On August 17, 2008, leading 7-3 in the 9th inning in Arlington, the Rays intentionally walked Josh Hamilton with the bases loaded and two out, to pitch to Marlon Byrd (who struck out).

— Hamilton was great back then (32 homers, 130 RBI)
— Maddon could do no wrong that year; the Rays made it to the World Series.

Grant Balfour was the pitcher who was told to walk Hamilton, then was taken out of the game; he didn’t look happy when he left the mound. Balfour would later be the A’s closer in 2012-13 when they made the playoffs— he was very good those two years (62 saves).

5) Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens flew to Tennessee Saturday for Darryl Drake’s funeral, despite it being the same day as a 4 o’clock kickoff for the Browns. Kitchens was the RB coach in Arizona when Drake was the WR coach.

4) Rays 1, Tigers 0 (13)— Teams combined to score three runs in 22 innings the last two nights. Detroit batters struck out 24 times, with no walks in this game.

3) Reds 6, Cardinals 1— Rookie Aristides Aquino has 10 homers in his last 11 games; this is a guy that hit .240 with a ,754 OPS in AA ball last season (20 HR’s). Go figure.

2) If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t):
NL: Atlanta-St Louis-Los Angeles. Wild Card: Cubs @ Nationals
AL: New York-Minnesota-Houston. Wild Card: Rays @ Indians

1) There is a suite at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas that costs $100,000 a night; the thing is, they also tack on a $39 resort fee, and $9.99 for Interweb access. You’d think for $100K a night, they’d comp the resort fee, and aren’t Interweb fees supposed to be a part of resort fees? Oy.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Jack Flaherty, St. Louis Cardinals (6-6, 3.52 ERA, $-737): This 23-year-old is absolutey dominating in recent outings, allowing zero runs in four of his last five starts. Over that span the Cards have gone 4-1 and Flaherty has a microscopic ERA of 0.57, a WHIP of 0.77 and 42 strikeouts through 31 1-3 innings.

Today, Flaherty and the Cardinals are -161 favorites on the road in Cincinnati. Flaherty has logged two starts against the Reds this season and has yet to allow a run through 11 1-3 innings. St. Louis is 17-7 in the last 24 meetings in Cincy.

SLUMPING

Jordan Yamamoto, Miami Marlins (4-4, 4.42 ERA, $428): This 23-year-old is absolutely reeling. After starting his career off with a bang, going 4-0 in his first five starts with an ERA of 1.59 and WHIP of 1.00, the right-hander has crashed back to earth. In his last five starts he is 0-4, with a 8.28 ERA and has allowed eight home runs in 25 innings.

Yamamoto gets the difficult task of facing the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field today, and his Marlins are +158 underdogs. With Peter Lambert and his 6.75 ERA on the mound for the Rockies The O/U is installed at a sky-high 13.5.

J.T. Realmuto has been one of the top hitting catchers in baseball this season, cranking 19 dingers and driving in 66 runs for the Phillies. He's been on a tear recently, batting .462 with four homers and nine RBI in his last seven games.

Today, the Phillies will host the Padres and left-handed starter Joey Lucchesi. Luchessi has struggled over his last five starts with a 5.54 ERA. He also has a 6.15 ERA on the road this season. Realmuto has a .604 slugging percentage against lefties and the Over 1.5 on his total bases is installed at -105.

A GIANT SWEEP

The Arizona Diamonbacks will try to avoid an embarrasing series sweep at home against the San Francisco Giants. The D-Backs will have Merrill Kelly on the mound while the Giants will respond with Madison Bumgarner.

MadBum has an impressive ERA of 2.61 over his last ten starts while Kelly has a hideous 10.71 ERA over his last four outings. With Arizona batting .250 and plating just 4.79 runs per game at home, taking San Fran as slim -114 road faves has value.

DON'T EXPECT THE SCORING TO CEASE

Two teams below .500 face off in L.A. as the White Sox play the Angels. The Over is 4-0-1 in the White Sox last five games and is 6-0 in the Angels previous six contests. The Over is also 5-0 in the last five meetings between these teams in L.A.

With Dylan Cease and his 5.54 ERA on the mound for Chicago, and the Halos giving the ball to Griffin Canning who has a 7.91 ERA in six outings since July. the Over 9.5 is worth a look.
