Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

-- Red Sox DH's haven't homered since David Ortiz went on the DL.

-- Oakland A's are 49-11 this season when they score 4+ runs.

-- Former Met manager Davey Johnson is 44-20 as a skipper against Met manager Terry Collins.

-- University of Missouri anticipates a $750,000 increase in travel costs this year as the move from the Big X to the SEC.

-- Sam Snead (52) is the oldest golfer to win a PGA Tour event, when he won at Greensboro for a still-record 8th time.

-- Houston Astros fired manager Brad Mills Saturday night, at same time as Houston Texans' first home game, so it'll get buried in Sunday papers. Stay classy, Houston.

**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Odds and ends for a summer Sunday......

13) Texas pitcher Ryan Dempster is a Canadian, but he couldn't make the Rangers' trip to Toronto this weekend, because he lost his passport. You can't get back into the USA without your passport. He didn't need to have a passport with the Cubs, since they didn't play in Toronto this year.

12) If you look at the 25 hitters in the major leagues who've come to bat with the most men on base, the only two who knocked in over 20% of those runners are Miguel Cabrera and Adrian Gonzalez.

11) Former NBA defensive whiz Bruce Bowen is now the life coach for pro golfer Jimmie Walker; his job is to make Walker mentally tougher.

10) Boston College AD Gene De Fillippo is retiring after a recent cancer scare, which is very bad news for BC football coach Frank Spaziani. It ain't good for your job security for the program to be struggling while your school hires a new AD-- those guys like to hire their own people.

9) Bartolo Colon is 10-9, 3.43 this season for the A's, his first season of 10+ wins since 2005. His veteran presence has been invaluable for a starting staff that has had as many as four rookies starting at one time.

8) When are FOX or ESPN going to get off their butts and show the Cinderella Pirates on a national TV broadcast? Enough with the depressing Red Sox, show some different teams, some contending teams.

7) Wonderfully Obscure Fact of the Day: Tim McCarver was 17 when he broke into pro ball with the Class D Keokuk Cardinals, way back in 1959; the plate umpire for his first game as a pro was a 19-year old umpire, a guy you may have heard of...........Brent Musberger. Yes, him.

6) When Cincinnati sent rookie Todd Redmond out to start the nightcap of Saturday's twinbill with the Cubs, they became the last team this season to use a sixth starting pitcher.

5) Audie Cole is a rookie linebacker for the Vikings from NC State who did something pretty rare Friday night, especially for a LB; he picked off two passes and ran both of them in for touchdowns.

4) Was surprised to hear that Sergio Garcia hasn't won a PGA tournament in this country since 2008; he has a shot at ending his skid today.

3) Oakland A's honored their 2002 team this weekend, the team that won 20 games in a row, setting an American League record. Good to see manager Art Howe came back to Oakland, despite the hatchet job that was done on him in the movie Moneyball, which is about that 2002 season.

2) Also ironic that Carlos Pena won Tampa Bay's game with a homer in the 8th inning Saturday night in Anaheim; the whole Pena/Scott Hatteberg debate was at the center of Moneyball's story, moreso in the movie than in the book.

1) Tampa Bay was down 8-0 in the 5th inning last night, but CJ Wilson did not get out of the 5th inning, and the Angels suffered a horrendous loss. Its weird to see how shaky their pitching staff is; they've already canned their batting coach, can the pitching coach be far behind?

NASCAR betting: Pure Michigan 400 preview

Dale Earnhardt Jr. has had a frustrating few weeks. After climbing to the top of the point standings, Earnhardt finished outside the lead lap at Watkins Glen and Pocono; this after finishing on the lead lap in the season’s first 20 races.

Last week at the Glen Earnhardt was on his way to a top 10 finish, something that would have been quite an accomplishment considering his record on road courses, but a late race mistake cost him; he came home off the lead lap and out of the points lead after only two weeks.

Earnhardt and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series head back for the second stop of the season at Michigan International Speedway for Sunday’s Pure Michigan 400. For Earnhardt it’s an excellent chance to overcome the past weeks frustrations.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. celebrated his first win in 143 races at Michigan in June.
Photo credit: Getty Images
In June Earnhardt broke a four year, 143 race winless streak charging to victory here. Earnhardt wants to repeat that victory lane trip and plans to be aggressive Sunday.

“The track has always been fun for me. Even had I not won any races there, it’s just a really fun track,” said Earnhardt. “That’s the kind of race track you hope and pray to build. I think over time the surface will age and we’ll get back to widening up the surface quite a bit.”

With a Chase berth all but locked up, Earnhardt now wants to add race wins to gather the all important bonus points.

“On the way to getting that done, you want to win more races and we were really conservative all year long,” he said. “We feel like that in the position we are in now, we can gamble a lot more.”

Like Earnhardt, Denny Hamlin had a less than memorable finish at the Glen last week. Unlike Earnhardt, Hamlin is far from locked into the Chase. He’s tenth in the standings barely clinging to a spot in the Chase. But Hamlin has won two of the last five races here. In last year’s race, Hamlin suffered mechanical woes that left him laps down and he was caught up in a crash in the June race and will be looking for redemption this week. If Hamlin and his Joe Gibbs team can keep it together, Hamlin should shine Sunday.

Hamlin’s teammate at JGR, Kyle Busch was dominant for most of the race last week at the Glen. He wasn’t able to seal the deal however and lost in the closing laps. He’s the defending winner of this race, but he too had a terrible finish here in June. Busch however is looking to overcome that past adversity and could do so Sunday.

Tony Stewart is also coming off a rotten finish at the Glen. He was second here in June and could easily break a winless streak at Michigan dating back to 2000 Sunday.

Keep an eye on: Matt Kenseth and his Roush-Fenway teammate Greg Biffle finished third and fourth here in June. Once a force here, Fords have not won at Michigan since 2008. Any one of Jack Roush’s cars, including Carl Edwards, could take the checkered flag.

Party Crasher: Michigan is one of five active tracks that Jimmie Johnson has yet to win at (the others are Watkins Glen, Chicagoland, Homestead and Kentucky). Johnson was second in this race last year and fifth in June. With the momentum he and his Hendrick Motorsports team has been on of late, it would be no surprise if Johnson checks MIS off his winless record Sunday.

“We had a really strong car there (at the June race) and I’m excited to go back,” Johnson said. “Late in the race I was running down the leaders and I blistered a right rear tire. But, I understand that a great tire test took place at the track recently and they didn’t see any issues. So I feel like things are fixed and I’m looking forward to going back because I know we’re going to be strong. The way we’ve been running on the ovals and also with our performance at Michigan in the spring, even though we blistered a tire, I really feel like I can win there and make that list one shorter for the tracks we haven’t won on. I really feel this is our best chance ever.”

Bottom Line: 66 of 86 races have been won from a top-10 starting position, including 46 from the first four spots.

The deepest in the field a race winner has started was 32nd, by Mark Martin in the June race of 2009.

What bettors need to know: Colts at Steelers

Indianapolis Colts at Pittsburgh Steelers (-3.5, 38)

Quarterback Andrew Luck’s standout performance was the talk of the Indianapolis Colts’ emphatic 38-3 victory over the St. Louis Rams in their NFL preseason opener.

The showing by Luck, the No. 1 pick overall in the NFL draft, did not go unnoticed by gamblers.

“We’ve seen some money coming in on the Colts over the last few days, and I think that’s because they had a pretty decent preseason game,” said Jimmy Vaccaro, spokesman for William Hill in Nevada.

Indianapolis is one of the lowest rated teams in the NFL, a position that is reflected in its regular-season victory total on the betting boards.

The Colts’ total opened as low as over/under 5 wins, -120 on the under, even money on the over at all Mirage Resorts International sportsbooks.

The number on Indianapolis currently sits at over/under 5 wins, -140 on the over, +120 on the under at the LVH.

The Colts now travel to Pittsburgh for a Sunday night preseason showdown with the Steelers. The Steelers enter their home preseason opener banged up. Linebacker James Harrison will be sidelined for at least the next three weeks after undergoing knee surgery Wednesday.

Pittsburgh has some health issues at running back as well. Rashard Mendenhall is still on the mend from a torn ACL and projected replacement Isaac Redman is doubtful for Sunday's contest with a strained groin. Jonathan Dwyer, who gained 40 yards on only two carries against the Eagles last week, is dealing with a minor shoulder sprain but is expected to play.

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was efficient in a brief appearance in the Philadelphia game, completing 7-of-8 attempts for 49 yards. Jerrod Johnson and Byron Leftwich will take the majority of the snaps again on Sunday.

The Colts own an 11-9 edge in the all-time preseason series with the Steelers and have taken the last two meetings.

Canadian Bacon: Saskatchewan Roughriders at B.C. Lions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saskatchewan Roughriders at B.C. Lions (-6.5, 51)

The Lions won’t have the services of standout DT Khalif Mitchell for the next two games after the league upheld his suspension for a dirty hit on Edmonton’s Simeon Rottier back on July 20.

While Mitchell is a huge cog in B.C.’s defense, rookie Maurice Evans is out to prove he’s a suitable replacement. Evans won’t start against the Riders Sunday but will be promoted to the active roster and is expected to be a part of the regular rotation in the trenches.

"He's (Evans) the most explosive guy we have up front," Lions defensive line coach Carl Hairston told reporters. "Saskatchewan ain't seen a guy like him. He's got the attitude and guts. And he's a talented guy. The only thing I worry about is, he's going to try so hard, he's going to get tired. That energy is going to be so high."

British Columbia has the No. 1 defense in the league, giving up less than 20 points on 293.3 yards against per game this season. The Lions fell 23-20 in their last meeting with Saskatchewan, failing to cover the spread as 3-point road favorites on July 14. That snapped B.C.’s three-game winning streak over the Riders and was just Saskatchewan’s third ATS victory over the Lions in their past 10 meetings.

That win was also the last time the Roughriders celebrated a victory, dropping three straight since. Saskatchewan suffered a crushing 28-20 defeat to the rival Edmonton Eskimos last week and is trying to remain positive about the upcoming schedule.

"We just have to keep going, keep fighting, keep plugging," quarterback Darin Durant told reporters. "That's why we play next week."

Durant threw for 401 yards in the loss to the Eskimos but was also picked off twice and failed to find the endzone. On the season, he’s completed just 63.6 percent of his passes and has an 8-to-4 TD-to-INT count. He passed for only 172 yards without a touchdown or interception in the Week 3 win over the Lions.

Trends:

* Under is 8-1 in the last nine meetings in B.C.
* Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings.
* Roughriders are 1-4 ATS in their last five meetings.
* Roughriders are 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings in B.C.

Sunday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STREAKING

Doug Fister, Detroit Tigers (7-7, 3.24 ERA)

Fister has been on fire since the All-Star break, going 5-1 with a 1.52 ERA and 48:8 K:BB ratio in 53 1/3 innings. He’s picked up wins in three of his last four starts, only surrendering four earned runs during that span. He takes the hill at Comerica versus the Orioles next time out.

Mat Latos, Cincinnati Reds (10-3, 3.63 ERA)

Latos pitched seven scoreless innings Tuesday against the Mets but walked away with a no-decision. The righty hasn’t been tabbed with a loss since July 17 and has only squandered one earned run in his last 21 1/3 innings. He toes the rubber at home against the lowly Cubs on Sunday.

SLUMPING

Jarrod Parker, Oakland Athletics (7-7, 3.71 ERA)

Parker gave up five runs (four earned) over 4 2/3 innings against the Royals on Tuesday. He’s now 2-4 with a 6.15 ERA over his last seven starts and during that stretch opposing batters are hitting a generous .309 against him. He looks to turn things around against the Indians in his next start.

Josh Beckett, Boston Red Sox (5-10, 5.19 ERA)

Beckett was shelled yet again Tuesday, allowing six runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings in Boston's 7-1 loss at Baltimore. He’s 0-3 with a 7.96 ERA over his last five outings and hasn’t picked up a win since July 15. Things won’t get easier for Beckett, as he takes the mound against the Yankees in New York on Sunday.

Sunday Night Baseball: Red Sox at Yankees
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Red Sox and Yankees take center stage once again for Sunday Night Baseball in the Bronx.

THE YANKEES BECKON

Josh Beckett is having a season to forget for Boston, and the Red Sox fans are letting him hear about it. Beckett left a recent start due to a back ailment and he was serenaded with boos from the Fenway faithful. He will be making his second start against the Yankees this season. Back on July 6th, the righty picked up a no-decision after giving up six runs and eight hits in five innings of work. Beckett has allowed four runs or more in two straight outings and in five of his last eight starts overall. He only has nine strikeouts in his last 20 innings pitched. Beckett has not won a road start since July 15th when he beat the Rays 7-3. His other problem has been going deep into games; Beckett hasn't seen the eighth inning since June 6th and that has been taxing the Red Sox bullpen.

THE AL SUITS HIM WELL

Hiroki Kuroda has made his first season in the American League a successful one so far going 11-8 with a 3.06 ERA. He is making his third start this season against Boston after getting no-decisions in his first two tries. On July 29th, Kuroda allowed two runs and four hits in eight innings, but he left the game and Boston won 3-2 in New York. July 6th was another no-decision for the righty after he allowed seven runs and 10 hits in Boston. Kuroda has allowed just three runs in his last four home starts while striking out 18. Kuroda has not had an awful start since that game against Boston, but that game was on the road. The Yankees have scored just nine runs in Kuroda’s last four starts.

THE WALKING WOUNDED

Boston's lineup is without David Ortiz (Achilles) and Will Middlebrooks (wrist). Daniel Nava and Ryan Sweeney are also out for Boston. With regards to pitching, the Red Sox are still without Vicente Padilla, Dice-K Matsuzaka and John Lackey although they have been able to get by with Aaron Cook. New York's lineup isn't at 100% as Robinson Cano and Mark Teixeira are dealing with neck and wrist ailments. The rotation is still without CC Sabathia, Andy Pettitte and Michael Pineda, who was supposed to provide a boost.

TRENDS

*The Over is 6-2-1 in Beckett’s last nine road starts in New York
*Red Sox are 5-1 in Beckett's last six Sunday starts
*Yankees are 43-22 in their last 65 Sunday games
*The Under is 4-0 in Kuroda’s last four home starts

HITTERS TO WATCH

Derek Jeter is 26-for-84 (.310) vs. Beckett

Andruw Jones is 10-for-37 (.270) vs. Beckett

Adrian Gonzalez is 10-for-29 (.345) vs. Kuroda

Cody Ross is 6-for-25 (.240) vs. Kuroda

Sunday's betting tips: Mills gets the boot

Weather to watch

Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves: A 30 percent chance of an isolated thunderstorm throughout the afternoon hours.

New York Mets at Washington Nationals: A 30 percent chance of showers with the threat of precipitation increasing throughout the afternoon.

Who’s hot?

The Tampa Bay Rays have won three straight after dropping consecutive contests to the Mariners. The Rays are the hottest team in baseball with 10 victories over their last 12 games.

Who’s not?

Houston Astros manager Brad Mills was fired by general manager Jeff Luhnow after a 12-4 defeat to the Diamondbacks on Saturday night. The Astros have plummeted to a league worst 39-82 campaign in the third year of Mills’ tenure, which has failed to produce a winning record.

Key stat

11-0: Reds starting pitcher Johnny Cueto’s record during day games this season.

Game of the day

Tampa Bay Rays at Los Angeles Angels (-144, 7.5)

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Washington Redskins linebacker Brian Orakpo left Saturday’s preseason game against the Bears in the first quarter with an injury to the pectoral muscle. Orakpo suffered the same injury last season and will undergo an MRI later on Sunday.

Notable quotable

"I don't know. It's interesting. I don't have the pulse on this game. What was it exactly? Us? Them? Some crazy, wild calls. Were they accurate? Weren't they? We'll see. I have a headache (from yelling) though. I have a darned headache. A lot them (the calls) didn't seem like they were in the ballpark." 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh on the performance of NFL replacement officials after a 20-9 loss to Houston on Saturday.

Betting news and notes

*The Texas Rangers are only 19-21 since July 1 and have been outscored 197-171 in that span.

*The Tampa Bay Rays have won five straight against the Angels and outscored them 34-11 during that span.

*The New York Yankees have hit 29 home runs in 11 games against the Red Sox this season. Curtis Granderson has gone deep in each of the first two games of the current series.

*Red Sox left fielder Carl Crawford would like to have surgery on his left elbow as early as next week, according to reports out of Boston. Crawford has batted .283 in 30 games since coming off the disabled list on July 16, but is playing with pain in his ailing elbow.
