Armadillo: Wednesday's Den: Mid-week musings……..

13) Mike Trout has had 35 games in his career where he hit a home run and also stole a base; during his career, no other big leaguer has more than 20 such games.

12) Strange turn in baseball; umpires aren’t traveling as much as they used to, and sometimes when they do travel, they travel on team charters, which has to be a little awkward.

11) Red Sox have already used 11 different starting pitchers this season.

10) Twins 4, Brewers 3 (12)
— Kenta Maeda had a no-hitter thru 8 innings, then Twins blew his 3-0 lead.
— Brewers lost their DH in extra innings, but pitcher’s turn to bat never came up
— Milwaukee used five IF, two OF for last two batters of game.
— Jed Gyorko failed to tag up on liner to RF in top of 12th, costing Milwaukee a run.

9) I’m thinking that baseball may eventually change the rule about a starting pitcher having to finish five innings to get credit for a win, which opens a whole mew statistical can of worms that nerds like me will get a kick out of.

They should leave it up to the official scorer to award the win if a starter goes less than five IP; if it happens, it would have a pretty big impact on fantasy baseball, and a lot of money is spent on fantasy baseball.

8) NBA ref Leon Wood has been an official for 20+ years, after playing seven years in the league- he was an excellent player at Cal State-Fullerton. He also played pro ball in Italy and Spain.

7) Toronto pitcher Shun Yamaguchi wears #1; I cannot remember another major league pitcher wearing #1.

6) Reds-Royals were postponed Tuesday, will play twinbill today.

Cardinals-Cubs also play a pair today; it will be third DH in five days for St Louis.

NBA playoff games (all Game 1’s):
5) Orlando 122, Milwaukee 110
— 8-seed Magic win as a 14-point underdog.
— Vucevic scored 35 points; five others were in double figures.
— Magic used only four subs; they were a combined +32

4) Miami 113, Indiana 101
— Heat outscored Indiana 61-40 in 2nd/4th quarters.
— Tyler Herro scored 15 points off bench for Miami.
— Victor Oladipo played only 9:00, scored four points.

3) Houston 123, Oklahoma City 108
— Rockets led 68-52 at halftime.
— Houston was 20-52 behind arc, 23-37 inside arc.
— Green was +28, McLemore +27 off bench for Houston.

2) Portland 100, Lakers 93
— 8-seed Portland wins as a 6.5-point underdog.
— Lillard scored 34; Portland only used eight players.
— Laker starters other than Lebron were 15-50 from the floor.

1) If the baseball playoffs started today (they do not):
AL East- New York, Tampa Bay
AL Central- Minnesota, Cleveland
AL West- Oakland, Houston
AL Wild Cards- Baltimore, Chicago

NL East- Miami, Atlanta
NL Central- Chicago, Milwaukee
NL West- Los Angeles, Colorado
NL Wild Cards- Arizona, San Diego

MLB public betting, line movement for August 19
Patrick Everson

Jacob deGrom hopes to get some run support from his Mets teammates in Wednesday's game against the host Marlins. Caesars sportsbooks opened New York -250 and moved to -235.

MLB betting odds are on the board and taking money for an overflowing 17-game docket, including two doubleheaders. Bettors hope Wednesday proves to be another Jacob deGrom Day, as the right-hander takes the ball for the Mets on the road against the Marlins.

Multiple oddsmakers provided insights on MLB opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Wednesday’s games.

MLB line movement

The Mets took the first two games of a four-game set against the Marlins, piling up 19 total runs in the process, and aim to nab the third game behind deGrom (2-0, 2.45 ERA) in a 7:10 p.m. ET contest. Caesars sportsbooks opened New York a solid -250 favorite, and that number dialed in a bit Tuesday night to -235, with Miami +205.

The Yankees look to bounce back from a 6-3 Tuesday night loss to the Rays, and New York has the right man for the job in Gerrit Cole (4-0, 2.76 ERA). FanDuel Sportsbook opened the Pinstripes -186 and crept up to -190 late Tuesday night, with Tampa Bay +164 in a 7:05 p.m. clash.

Houston fought its way back above .500 by winning its last seven games, including the first two of a four-game road set against Colorado. Both teams are 13-10 entering an 8:40 p.m. ET matchup, and Caesars opened Astros -152/Rockies +142. By late Tuesday night, the ‘Stros were up to -166, with the Rocks at +153.

MLB public betting

With deGrom toeing the slab, the Mets were landing 64 percent of early Consensus picks Tuesday night. But in the Astros-Rockies tilt, underdog Colorado was the early play, drawing 59 percent of Consensus picks.
