**********

Armadillo: Sunday's Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday……

13) Here is why baseball adopted the extra innings rule for this 60 games-in-66-days season.

— Last two years, 73% of minor league games using the extra inning rule ended in the first extra inning.
— 93% of the games ended in the first two extra innings.
(minor league doubleheaders have 7-inning games)

A 15 or 16-inning game would drain a team’s pitching staff, especially once rosters get down to 26 guys. This rule discourages that from happening.

12) Late Friday night, A’s beat the Angels 7-3 in 10 innings, the first major league game with the extra inning rule, where every half-inning starts with a runner on 2nd base.

— Shohei Ohtani was the first-ever “ghost runner”; his interpreter had to tell him to go to second base in the top of the 10th. He didn’t know what was up.
— Matt Olson walked the game off with a first-pitch grand slam, after he threw Ohtani out at third on a ground ball in the top of the 10th.
— Oakland reliever Burch Smith gets the win, so I have to tell my Burch Smith story…….

11) Burch Smith made his MLB debut for the Padres on May 11, 2013 in Tampa Bay, a Saturday afternoon game. I’m in Las Vegas, staying at the SunCoast casino, where the sports book is right next to their movie theater, where they serve Orville Redenbacher popcorn, which is very good.

Here’s the thing; I had read that Smith is a prospect, but this is before we had the mobile apps on our cellphones for our fantasy league, so do I:
a) add him to my roster, sight unseen?
b) stay in my room, and follow the game on my laptop and see how he does?
c) go down to the sportsbook, watch the game and if he does well, run up to my room and add him, but risk someone else adding him first?
d) forget about picking him up

I wanted to watch him pitch, so I take a chance and use one of my monthly pickups and add him to my roster. What could possibly go wrong?

10) I go downstairs to the sports book, get my popcorn and a cherry Coke, and settle in as he throws a scoreless first inning, striking out two guys. Padres are up 2-0. I’m pretty happy.

Then Tampa Bay scores six runs in the 2nd inning, and Smith is gone, without getting another out. No bueno. Even the popcorn tasted worse after that.

In three May starts, Burch Smith gave up 15 runs in 7.1 IP, and I mercifully dumped him. He was sent down by San Diego, came back in September, but after that never got back to the majors until 2018— he hurt his arm in there somewhere and had an operation. Now he is the answer to a trivia question; first winning pitcher in a game with a ghost runner.

Moral of the story: Have some patience and get the mobile app on your phone.

9) After two days of baseball, 22 of 30 teams are 1-1; Astros, Cardinals, San Diego are only unbeaten teams left. Dodgers are 2-1, Giants 1-2.

8) Washington P Stephen Strasburg was scratched from his start with a nerve issue in his hand; it isn’t considered serious. Erick Fedde stepped in and threw four decent innings. Washington survived five errors; not often you make five errors and win.

7) In week 1 of the NFL last year, there 157 players on active rosters who played college football at the I-AA level. Delayng I-AA football until the spring is going to make NFL scouts work a lot harder before the ’21 draft.

6) New Jersey Jets traded S Jamal Adams and a 4th-round pick in 2022 to Seattle, in exchange for S Bradley McDougald, a 1st-round pick in 2021, 3rd-round pick in 2021, and 1st-round pick in 2022. Big haul for the Jets.

5) Washington QB Alex Smith was cleared to resume football activities this week; Smith had a gruesome broken leg in a 2018 game and has undergone 17 surgeries since then, and survived sepsis, which was life-threatening. He is 36 years old but still wants to play.

17 surgeries…..in less than two years. Oy.

4) Lot of good shooters in the Curry family; Dallas’ Seth Curry made 6-6 behind the arc in the scrimmage against the Lakers the other day. Impressive display of shooting.

3) Knicks hired Tom Thibodeau as their new coach, an excellent hire.

2) Statue of Liberty was struck by lightning four times Wednesday; seems like a fitting thing to happen in 2020.

1) Happy birthday to Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek, who turned 80 years old earlier this week.

RIP to the great Regis Philbin, who passed away this weekend at age 88; Mr Philbin was the host of a lot of TV shows; he won six daytime Emmy awards, and holds the world record for most hours on US television, according to Guinness World Records, with more than 16,700 hours on air. He was also a supply officer in the Navy from 1953-55.

He always seemed like a good guy, a pleasant human. RIP sir.

MLB public betting, line movement, sharp money for July 26

Early betting action for Sunday's MLB slate has been focused on the New York Mets, who went from -105 underdogs to priced as a -110 pick'em against the Atlanta Braves.

MLB betting odds are on the board for the first Sunday of this shortened season. Among the highlights is the completion of a three-game series between the Atlanta Braves and the New York Mets, along with noteworthy matchups between the Los Angeles Angels and Oakland Athletics, plus the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals.

PointsBet USA provided insights on MLB opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for three Sunday matchups. Covers will update this action report with MLB sharp picks vs. public bets and line movement throughout Sunday.

MLB line movement

The Braves-Mets tilt is a toss-up at PointsBet USA, after visiting Atlanta opened -115 behind Sean Newcomb and New York opened -105 with Rick Porcello on the bump. Shortly thereafter, the Braves ticked up to -120, but late Saturday night, the game dialed back to a -110 pick ‘em. First pitch is at 7:08 p.m. ET.

Meanwhile, the Angels send Shohei Ohtani out for his first start since 2018 against the A’s and Mike Fiers. Los Angeles opened -120 on the road and quickly jumped to -130, before settling at -125 late Saturday, with Oakland at +105 for a 4:10 p.m. ET start. PointsBet USA opened the Cards -170 and Pirates +145, then tightened a pinch to -165/+140 in a 2:15 p.m. ET matchup.

MLB sharp money

Early moves are generally sharp moves, so the quick jump up on the Braves was likely on a sharp bet or two, and ditto for the early 10-cent line movement on the Angels.

MLB public betting

The Braves-Mets tilt seemed to draw some public betting later Saturday night, hence the 10-cent line movement that took the Mets from even-money underdogs to a -110 pick ‘em.
