**********

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here…….

13) MGM took two huge bets on the Astros Wednesday:
$55,000 on Houston -$550 to win $10,000
$63,520 on Houston -$575 to win $11,000

Another bookmaker reported from Las Vegas on this game:
“Under our Listed Pitchers market, we have $10 on the Tigers. Literally. And $60K on the Astros.”

12) If you wagered $100 on the Astros in each of Justin Verlander’s last three starts, you’d be out a total of $1,170. Not good.

Verlander has allowed 57 runs this season; 40 of them scored on home runs.

11) I’m anxious to see what the sportsbook at Rivers Casino in Schenectady will be like when college football has its first full Saturday on August 31st. Would expect pretty big crowds, and the sportsbook is not a big area, but they do have lot of betting kiosks, so that should help.

10) SLS Las Vegas will officially become Sahara Las Vegas on August 29; the SLS used to be the Sahara- the original Sahara Hotel & Casino opened in 1952 with 240 rooms. It grew to more than 1,700 rooms after several add-ons and a final renovation in 2000.

I stayed there once, in 2015; good eating places, the tightest video poker machines ever— asked a bartender if anyone ever won there (I couldn’t win a single hand for like an hour). No sports book to speak of, just a counter to bet games. Beer garden was pretty popular.

My room was so small it made me laugh; seriously. They had mirrors all over, to make the room look bigger, even on the ceiling— the last damn thing I want to see while I’m laying in bed is me.

Pretty good place for eating/shopping, but not my kind of place.

9) Raiders 22, Packers 21— This game was played in Winnipeg; NFL fields are shorter than CFL fields, and the turf in one end zone where the goalposts usually are for Blue Bomber games was a little screwed up, so the teams played on an 80-yard field and there were no kickoffs.

Next week’s Hard Knocks should be pretty interesting.

8) Red Sox 5, Royals 4 (10)— This was the completion of a suspended game from August 7; Brock Holt got the game-winning hit.

Royals lost in Baltimore Wednesday night, then flew to Boston for this, which lasted a total of 11 pitches, and then flew to Cleveland, where they’ll likely lose more games this weekend.

7) Baseball stuff:
— Colorado put P Kyle Freeland (leg) on the IL.
— Pirates released C Francisco Cervelli
— Mets DFA’d SS Ruben Tejada.

6) As of Thursday night, 60% of money wagered on Saturday’s Miami-Florida (-7.5) game was on the Gators, while 69% of the money on the Hawai’i-Arizona (-11) game is on the Rainbows.

5) Ravens 26, Eagles 15— Baltimore has now won 16 preseason games in a row (13-2 vs spread), but 40-year old Josh McCown came off the bench and completed 17-24 passes for 192 yards and two TD’s, so Philly has their backup QB.

Game was stopped with 11:54 left (weather) and never resumed, so sides/totals wagers are refunds, which is a bitter pill for Baltimore backers.

4) Major League Baseball is prohibiting major league and minor league ballplayers from participating in the Venezuelan winter league this year, because our country recently placed an embargo on Venezuela.

Jose Altuve, Felix Hernandez, Pablo Sandoval, Ronald Acuna, Gleyber Torres, Ender Inciarte and Avisail Garcia are all from Venezuela; strong baseball country.

3) Bob Cousy received the Presidential Medal of Freedom Thursday night; Cousy, 91, won six NBA titles in his 13 years playing with the Celtics. He was MVP of the NBA in 1957, and also was a decent actor— he was Western U’s athletic director in the excellent movie Blue Chips.

Cousy was the only son of poor French immigrants living in New York City during the Depression; he spoke French only for the first five years of his life. Cousy’s father served in the German army during World War I.

2) Baltimore Orioles gave up their 259th home run this season Thursday, breaking the all-time single-season record previously held by the 2016 Reds.

1) ACC Network made its debut Thursday; it is channel 612 on DirecTV, right next to the Big 14 (610) and SEC (611) channels but nowhere near the Pac-12 Network, since DirecTV doesn’t carry that station.

Friday's Diamond Notes
Kevin Rogers

Hottest team: Braves (8-2 last 10)

Unfortunately for Atlanta, it doesn’t get to play Miami for the rest of the regular season. The Braves knocked off the Marlins for the 15th time in 19 meetings in Thursday’s 3-2 walk-off victory at SunTrust Park to pull off the three-game sweep. Atlanta finished off its homestand at 8-2, while the Braves picked up their first home sweep since mid-June against the Pirates.

The Braves travel to New York for the weekend to face off with the Mets at Citi Field, as Atlanta took two of three from its division rival last week. Atlanta has won six consecutive starts made by Mike Foltynewicz, as the right-hander takes the mound in the series opener. Foltynewicz is unbeaten in his last three road starts, as he squares off with the Mets for the first time this season after the Braves beat New York twice in his two starts against them in 2018.

Coldest team: Blue Jays (1-6 last seven)

Although Toronto lost all three games at Los Angeles, the Blue Jays hung around in the final two defeats as a heavy underdog. The Dodgers topped the Jays in extra innings on Wednesday, while Toronto squandered a 2-0 lead in the ninth inning as Los Angeles scored three runs to walk it off to send the Jays to their fifth consecutive defeat. Toronto’s offense has not been able to come through during this skid by scoring only nine runs in the past five games since posting seven runs against Seattle last Friday.

The Jays will battle the Mariners for the second consecutive weekend as Toronto invades T-Mobile Park. Toronto has lost six of its past eight road games since a five-game away winning streak in late July into early August. Trent Thornton takes the mound for the Blue Jays, as the right-hander is winless in his past three outings although all three losses came by one run each. Thornton faces the Mariners for the second consecutive weekend after picking up a no-decision in a 4-3 defeat last Saturday as he allowed three runs in six innings of work.

Hottest pitcher: Jack Flaherty, Cardinals (7-6, 3.46 ERA)

Dating back to July 7, Flaherty has allowed a total of five runs in eight starts, while posting four scoreless outings in this stretch. St. Louis has won five of Flaherty’s last six starts, including home victories over the Cubs and Astros. The lone loss during this span came at Los Angeles on August 7 as the Dodgers scored two runs in the ninth inning for a 2-1 victory, erasing a 10-strikeout effort from Flaherty. The Cardinals had cashed seven consecutive UNDERS prior to a PUSH against Cincinnati his last time out, as Flaherty is facing the Rockies for the second time in his career after losing to Colorado in 2018.

Coldest pitcher: Dylan Cease, White Sox (2-6, 5.93 ERA)

Chicago has won only two of Cease’s eight starts since he entered the rotation in July, as both victories came against last-place Detroit. Cease was knocked around in his last start against the Angels by allowing five runs in five innings of a 9-2 defeat this past Sunday. The run support has not been good for Cease as the White Sox have scored two runs or fewer in all six of his losses, while the UNDER has hit in his past three home outings. Cease squares off with the Rangers on Friday as Texas is 0-5 in its past five Game 2’s of a series.

Biggest OVER run: Rays (7-3 last 10)

Tampa Bay’s four-game OVER streak came to an end in last night’s 5-2 victory at Baltimore that included a lengthy rain delay. The total stayed UNDER 10 as the O’s scored two runs in the first inning before not scoring again, while Tampa Bay trotted out seven pitchers in the win. Thursday’s win marked the 14th time in the last 16 victories that the Rays have scored at least five runs, while the OVER has hit 12 times in this span. Trevor Richards makes his second start for Tampa Bay after getting dealt from Miami as the right-hander lasted 3.1 innings his last time out in a 5-4 comeback win over Detroit.

Biggest UNDER run: Padres (5-0 last five)

San Diego returns home following a 3-3 road trip at Philadelphia and Cincinnati that saw the Padres score three runs or fewer in the last four games. After holding off the Reds, 3-2 in the series opener at Cincinnati on Monday, San Diego’s offense couldn’t get going in the final two losses at Great American Ballpark in which it scored two runs each. The Padres welcome in the Red Sox for an interleague series at Petco Park as Chris Paddack starts the opener. Paddack owns a 5-2 record and 2.53 home ERA this season, while the OVER has hit in his previous four starts at Petco Park.

Matchup to watch: Yankees vs. Dodgers

A potential World Series preview takes place this weekend at Chavez Ravine between a couple of old rivals who matched up in the Fall Classic in the 50’s and 70’s. The Yankees haven’t looked like World Series material of late after getting swept in the Bay Area by the Athletics to start their road trip, while scoring just nine runs in the three losses. The Bronx Bombers have dropped five of their past seven games, but New York remains eight games ahead of Tampa Bay in the American League East race.

Los Angeles swept Toronto in a hard-fought series at home, which included consecutive walk-off victories. Since dropped a pair of games to the Angels in late July at Dodger Stadium, the NL West leaders have won 12 of their past 14 contests at Chavez Ravine, including posting a 3-1 mark in home series openers.

It's a battle of southpaws on the mound tonight as Hyun-Jin Ryu squares off with James Paxton in the opener. Ryu (12-3, 1.64 ERA) is in the middle of the Cy Young discussion in the National League, although the Dodgers’ left-hander is coming off his first loss since late June in a 4-3 setback at Atlanta last Saturday. Ryu had allowed four runs combined in his previous six starts (all Dodger wins) before getting tagged for four runs in 5.2 innings. The Dodgers own a perfect 11-0 record in Ryu’s 11 home starts this season, while not giving up a run in three of his past four home outings.

Paxton (9-6, 4.53 ERA) was 0-for-July as the Yankees lost all five of his starts, but the former Mariners’ hurler has rebounded nicely in August. New York has won all four of his outings this month, including three victories at home. The road hasn’t been kind to Paxton this season as the Yankees are 4-5 in his nine starts away from the Bronx, while the OVER has cashed seven times.

Betcha didn’t know: Jose Berrios has not won at home since May 24 as the Twins’ right-hander heads to the mound against the Tigers on Friday. Minnesota owns an 0-5 record in Berrios’ last five starts at Target Field, all as a favorite of -140 or higher.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Jack Flaherty, St. Louis Cardinals (7-6, 3.46 ERA, $-637): The Cardinals 23-year-old has been absolutely dealing recently. Over Flaherty's last six starts, St. Louis is 5-1 and he's recorded an ERA of 0.74 and a WHIP of 0.83.

Flaherty should be in position to have another strong game today as the Cards host the Colorado Rockies who struggle to hit on the road. The Rockies have the third-lowest OPS in the majors in away games at .682. The Cardinals are -215 favorites and O/U is set at 8.5.

SLUMPING

Hector Noesi, Miami Marlins (0-3, 9.39 ERA, $-300): The 32-year-old Dominican made his return to the big leagues earlier this month after spending the last three years of his career playing in South Korea. The early returns have not been positive. Noesi has allowed at least two homers and five earned runs in each of his three starts.

Noesi and the Marlins host the Philadelphia Phillies as +152 underdogs tonight. Noesi shouldn't expect much run support given that the Marlins a major league-low OPS of .661.

3 STRIKES

DEGROM DAY

Jacob deGrom day used to be a great betting day here at Covers HQ when the first five innings Under in deGrom's starts converted at more than a 80 percent rate in 2018. Sportsbooks have adjusted though and this year the first five innings Under in his starts is just 11-9-2, although it did hit in his last outing.

Today, deGrom and the Mets are -170 faves at home against the Atlanta Braves and the total is set at 7.5. The first five innings O/U is 4 and while that looks more than doable for deGrom who is 8-7 with a 2.61 ERA, it might be optimistic to think that Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz (4-5, 6.09 ERA) can do his part against a Mets lineup that is batting .302 over the last two weeks.

HOW GREINKE GOT HIS GROOVE BACK

Well, that didn’t take long. After a bit of a rocky start to his Astros tenure (see what we did there?), Greinke responded with two straight quality starts. The veteran right-hander allowed just three total runs on 11 hits with 12 strikeouts over 13 inning of work.

Tonight, he goes to work against the visiting Los Angeles Angels who counter with Jose Suarez. The Halos lefty owns a 6.75 ERA and a 1.69 WHIP this season and that balloons to 10.22 and 2.03 over his last three starts. The Astros hit .282 against lefties this season. Look at the Astros on the runline once again.

PADDING THEIR STATS

The Yankees and Dodgers isn't the only interleague matchup on today's card, with the Boston Red Sox on the road in San Diego. The BoSox are slim -113 faves and will start Eduardo Rodriguez. The Padres will respond with rookie Chris Paddack who has been very impressive at times this year but is going through a bit of a rough patch having given up five homers and 13 runs through 14 2-3 innings over his last three starts.

San Diego is just 6-13 over their last 19 games at home and Boston is a perfect 11-0 in Rodriguez's last 11 interleague starts. Boston is also 5-1 in the last six meetings in the head to head.
