**********

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud......

13) Cubs’ pitcher Jake Arrieta is on fire, allowing only four runs in his last 39.1 innings; he’s had a no-hitter broken up in his last two starts in 7th and 8th inning. He better be careful, or the Cubs will trade him away.

12) Last pitcher to shut the Red Sox out was Arrieta’s pitching coach Chris Bosio, who did it in 1993; last time Boston was shut out in Fenway was way back in 1958 by Detroit’s Jim Bunning, who later became a US Senator. Ted Williams made the last out in that game.

11) Major league teams are 36-85 (.298) this year when their pitchers walk more hitters than they strike out.

10) Hanley Ramirez is a free agent after this season; over last four years, he’s played in 92-157-86 and this year 75 of 86 games, which adds up to 71.6% of his team’s games, since 2011. He’s going to be asking for a boatload of money, I’d have a hard time giving it to a guy who missed two out of every seven games.

9) Vikings’ rookie QB Teddy Bridgewater is getting ready for his first NFL season, in part by playing video games. He says the Madden game can help him adjust to the Vikings' offense; I’m not disagreeing, just never heard anyone say that before.

8) LVH Hotel in Las Vegas, formerly Las Vegas Hilton, will now be known as the Westgate, which is a good piece of knowledge for me since I’m staying there for a week in November. Elara Towers behind Planet Hollywood used to be called Westgate Towers; now LVH is called Westgate—those are the two places I stay at the most in Las Vegas. Good thing I don’t confuse easily.

7) Vancouver Canucks signed goalie Ryan Miller to a 3-year, $18M deal, as they head towards a season when they’ll have their third head coach in the last three years- this coach turned down the Penguins to coach in Vancouver.

6) Conference realignment in college sports continues to baffle me: Davidson is now in the A-10, or A-16, not really sure how many teams they’ve got now, but Davidson has an excellent coach and will compete there once their recruiting gets to the A-10 level. Elon jumps from SoCon to the CAA. I may have to write these new teams/conferences down 50 times a day to get them stuck in my head.

5) For some unknown reason (actually, football) the AAC added East Carolina, Tulane and Tulsa starting this season. It hurts their basketball profile, but they need football schools, I guess. AAC is a nicer version of old Conference USA.

4) Will the Southern Conference even be a rotation league anymore? They add VMI, East Tennessee and Mercer, which will help their league, but losing Davidson hurts this league badly.

3) Georgetown lost a key recruit this week when 4-star prospect Noah Dickerson de-committed and opened up his recruitment again.

2) Washington Wizards re-upped bug guy Marcin Gortat for five years, $60M; Wiz made second round of the playoffs this spring for first time since 2005, so its important for them to keep their nucleus together.

1) Keep in mind when thinking about NBA free agency: Lebron James makes a lot more money off the court than he does on it.

Game of the Day: Cardinals at Giants
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St. Louis Cardinals at San Francisco Giants (+125, 6.5)

The key to success for the San Francisco Giants is apparently to let Tim Lincecum pitch every day. The Giants will try to halt a six-game losing streak when anyone other than Lincecum starts when they host the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday in the second of a three-game set. Lincecum pitched a no-hitter against San Diego last week and dominated through eight inning in a 5-0 triumph in Tuesday’s series opener.

The Cardinals got off to a decent start on their 10-game road trip by taking two of three in Colorado but have since dropped four of five to the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco. St. Louis managed a total of one run in those setbacks and has suffered back-to-back shutouts for the second time this season. The Giants totaled six runs during a four-game slide before Tuesday’s win, which featured Pablo Sandoval’s 100th career home run.

TV: 10:15 p.m. ET, FSN Midwest (St. Louis), CSN Bay Area (San Francisco)

LINE HISTORY: The Giants opened as +125 home dogs with the Cards in town. The total opened 6.5.

POWER RANKINGS: Cardinals (-176), Giants (-185)

INJURY REPORT: Cardinals: 2B Kolten Wong (15-day DL, shoulder). Giants: CF Angel Paga (15-day DL, back), 1B Brandon Belt (15-day DL, thumb).

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Adam Wainwright (10-4, 2.01 ERA) vs. Giants RH Ryan Vogelsong (5-4, 3.96)

Wainwright came out on the wrong end of a 1-0 shutout at Los Angeles on Thursday, surrendering the lone run on a single in the eighth inning. The staff ace has allowed a total of four runs in 31 innings over his last four starts. That stretch began after Wainwright was lit up for a season-high seven runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 innings to suffer a loss to San Francisco on May 30.

Vogelsong is coming off a tough-luck loss as well after allowing one run and striking out seven over six innings Thursday against Cincinnati. The veteran is trying to find some consistency after posting a 1-1 record with a 7.31 ERA in his three previous turns. Vogelsong went up against St. Louis on May 29 and yielded four runs on seven hits in 6 1/3 innings without factoring in the decision.

TRENDS:

* Cardinals are 1-5 in the last six meetings.
* Over is 5-0 in Vogelsong's last five starts vs. Cardinals.
* Cardinals are 1-4 in their last five games with Kulpa behind home plate.
* Giants are 2-9 in their last 11 home games.

Twins pitcher spells doom versus Royals

Correia has allowed at least six hits in all seven of those games, averaging 7.6 hits per game.

Padres pitcher winless all June, takes mound

Ross gave up 27 hits and 16 runs while carrying a 32/2 K/BB ratio in June.

Phillies pitcher dominating Marlins

Cole Hamels has been a force against the Miami Marlins and bettors have been cashing in. In Hamels last 10 starts against the Marlins, the under has gone 8-1-1 for bettors.

In those 10 starts Hamels has not once allowed more than three runs and has held the Fins to one or less four times.

Teheran has the NL East on notice

Wednesday's MLB betting cheat sheet: Fenway Park an Under haven
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NL East a Push Party

The Washington Nationals continued the NL East's trend of being baseball's most frustrating division from a totals perspective, earning their eighth push of the year in a 7-1 win over Colorado. The NL East has a combined 35 pushes this year; no other division has more than 25.

Fenway Frustrations

The Boston Red Sox can't figure out how to score at home, entering Wednesday's game with the Cubs (+141, 9) having scored two runs or fewer in seven straight games at Fenway Park. The under has been a sensational play there of late, with Boston 1-12 O/U in its last 13 home games.

Marlins Back on Track

The Miami Marlins finally regained their home mojo Tuesday with a 5-4 win over Philadelphia, halting a five-game slide at Marlins Park. They'll look to repeat the feat Wednesday (+109, 7) behind righty Tom Koehler, who is 4-4 against the moneyline and 5-3 O/U in eight home starts.

Pitching Notes

* JA Happ looks to continue his strong Under trend at home Wednesday as he leads the Toronto Blue Jays (-153, 9) into action against Milwaukee. The left-hander is 1-6 O/U in seven starts at the Rogers Centre, and threw 7 2/3 shutout innings to beat the White Sox last time out.

* Brandon McCarthy will try to master a team other than the San Diego Padres as he take the hill for Arizona in a Thursday night showdown with host Pittsburgh. McCarthy is 3-0 against the moneyline versus the Padres this season - and 0-14 against everyone else.

Hitting Notes

* Los Angeles Angels slugger Mike Trout remains hot, belting his 19th home run in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the White Sox. Trout began July on a solid note after hitting .361 with seven homers and 21 RBIs in June; the Angels (-129, 9) hope that trend continues in Wednesday's series finale.

* Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki remains one of the lone bright spots for a struggling Rockies team, racking up a pair of homers and six RBIs over his last seven games. The Rockies are just 2-5 against the moneyline but are 6-1 O/U over that stretch; they host the Dodgers on Thursday.

Totals Streak

Arizona Diamondbacks (0-5 O/U): The Padres' dramatic Under trend is rubbing off on other teams. Arizona and San Diego combined for just 10 runs in their recent three-game series, and the Diamondbacks extended their Under run with a 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Prop of the Day

Bettors expecting a fast start for Washington on Wednesday may be inclined to bet the Nationals -1.5 on a three-inning prop at +185. Starter Doug Fister has a 1.80 ERA in the first three innings this season, though the Rockies are batting over .300 in both the first and third innings in 2014.

Injury Notes

* The Minnesota Twins have placed first baseman Joe Mauer on the 15-day disabled list with a strained oblique. The Twins are 2-3 against the moneyline, 1-4 O/U and +43 units for the season with Mauer on the sidelines.

* New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira will wit out Wednesday against Tampa Bay (-117, 9) after having his troublesome knee drained. New York is 10-10 SU, 11-9 O/U and a modest +34 units with Teixeira out of the lineup this season.

Weather Watch

* Wind at Nationals Park for Wednesday's game between Washington and Colorado will blow out to center field at 7 mph. Teams combined for nine runs and 2.22 home runs in nine games under similar conditions in 2013, well above stadium averages.

* Pittsburgh's PNC Park will see wind blowing out to center field at 6 mph for Thursday's tilt between Pittsburgh and visiting Arizona. Teams went just 4-8 O/U with the wind blowing in that direction last season; average runs per game (6.67) was actually below the stadium average (7.08).

Umpire of the Day

Over is 20-5-1 in umpire Jerry Layne's last 26 games behind home plate involving Oakland. Layne will call the balls and strikes for Wednesday's tilt between the Athletics (-104, 8.5) and host Detroit Tigers.
