Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

-- Jered Weaver left his start after two innings Monday; he has a bad back. Teams should bunt on him more often; he has trouble getting off the mound to field, but otherwise he's a damn good pitcher.

-- Mike Trout/Miguel Cabrera declined invitations to Home Run Derby; Stanton and Cespedes are both in huge slumps-- are they thinking home runs too much?

-- Tough night for backup catchers, as John Buck/George Kottaras both got sent down to the minors, and will either be traded or released; both will get new jobs.

-- Dallas Beeler, Kyle Hendricks are getting called up to join the Cubs' rotation; poor Dan Straily, who is now stuck in AAA at Iowa instead of Sacramento.

-- Bronson Arroyo, who had never been hurt before this year, is having Tommy John surgery; its been that kind of a year for the Diamondbacks.

-- Houston Rockets offered Chris Bosh four years, $88M; if he leaves Miami, it opens the door for Carmelo Anthony to sign with the Heat, which might blow up the Interweb, if it happens.

**********

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

13) We mentioned last week about young umpire Vic Carapazza getting in a lot of arguments this season, well this may be related: the last three games he did behind the plate (and four of his last six) ended up 1-0. Hitters aren’t fond of him.

Carapazza has the plate for Houston-Texas tonight; two lousy bullpens, curious to see if that game stays under the total.

12) Jay Bruce started at first base for the Reds last night, his first game as a pro at first base-- he hit a homer as the Reds beat the Cubs 9-3.

11) Mets’ TV announcers spent an entire half-inning Sunday bashing Cubs’ SS Starlin Castro for being lackadaisical in the field and various other things (they weren’t broadcasting a Cub game), so of course Castro showed up on the Interweb that night as a possible trade target of the Mets. Fans should love that if it happens.

10) Tampa Bay Rays have been hot recently; they get Jeremy Hellickson back on the mound Tuesday, as they start to gain some momentum for what would be a very unlikely playoff run—they looked dead two weeks ago.

9) Toronto’s Edwin Encanarcion is out 2-4 weeks with a quad injury he suffered while beating out the back end of a double play, getting an RBI. Costly RBI though; he had been pounding the ball this season.

8) DirecTV announced that it has created a live fantasy football channel that will be available every Sunday afternoon during the 2014 NFL season on its Sunday Ticket package. It will be channel 704, if you’re planning ahead.

7) Four of last six Felix Hernandez starts were 0-0 after the fifth inning.

6) 6-5 guard Will Jackson de-committed from UConn, will go to college at Georgiasomething you don’t see every day, a hoop recruit picking Georgia over UConn. Kid is from Athens, so if they couldn’t get him, they were in trouble as far as keeping up with Florida-Kentucky in the SEC. Actually, they still can’t keep up with those schools, but at least they got this kid, who will help them.

5) I don’t like listening to Shaquille O’Neal on TNT's studio show, I can’t always understand what he’s saying, but heard him on the NBA Summer League game Sunday and he was terrific. Bright, funny, smart, t lot more outgoing than he was on TNT most nights. Not sure why that is.

4) Former Utah Jazz coach Ty Corbin is the new lead assistant in Sacramento; I'd almost forgotten that Shaq is a minority owner of the Kings.

3) Target Field in Minnesota now has self-serve beer machines that let fans decide for themselves exactly the size beer they want. The first station, with two dispensing machines on the third-base side along the main concourse, made its debut Sunday. A second station will be added on the same concourse along the first-base side in time for the July 15 All-Star Game.

2) Baseball is a game of quirks; the instant replay system seems to find a new one every week. Thought the Braves got hosed Monday night, when umps overturned an out call on a force play at second base.

I had heard multiple times that the "neighborhood play" on potential double plays wouldn't be reviewed, as long as the throw was accurate- Atlanta's 2B pulled his foot off the base early and then threw to first, but it was an accurate throw. Umpires in the Replay Review Room at MLB called the Mets' runner safe, when announcers and myself both thought the play couldn't even be reviewed.

1) 6,683 entrants into the Main Event at the World Series of Poker creates a prize pool of $62,820,200, with $10M to the winner, $5,145,968 to the runner-up. Top seven finishers will all make $1M+.

Unders cash for bettors in Monday's games

The Under had a huge day for bettors Monday, posting a record of 10-4 on the day. Obviously pitching had a big hand in that performance as there were five shutouts posted in those 14 ball games.

Tuesday has a full slate of 15 games on the board with totals ranging from 7 to 10.5.


Rough weather in forecast at Great American Ball Park

There is some rough weather in the forecast for Tuesday's only afternoon Major League Baseball action at the Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.

The Reds (-213, 7.0) host the Chicago Cubs where there are expected thunderstorms and a strong 14 mph wind blowing across the field from first to third base. There is also a 71 percent chance of rain.


The crazy umpire total stat you need to know

When umpire Kerwin Danley is calling balls and strikes, teams are combining to score an average of just 5.33 runs per game, the lowest average runs for any umpire with at least 10 games at home plate. Not surprisingly teams are 3-11 over/under for the season, including going under the last eight games in a row.

This isn't just a trend for this season. In Danley's last 53 games as the home plate umpire, the under is an incredible 41-10-2.

Danley will be behind the plate Tuesday night when the Minnesota Twins visit the Seattle Mariners, with a total currently at 7.0


Over trending when wind blows to left at this park

The Over has been a hot play when wind blows out to left field at Detroit's Comerica Park this season. All told, the Over/Under record is 5-1 with an average of 1.57 home runs per game with hitter-friendly wind out to left.

That just happens to be the case with the Los Angeles Dodgers visit the Tigers for an interleague clash as forecasts predict winds of 15 mph out to left field Tuesday evening. The total is currently at 8.5 for this matchup.

Under trending with Peacock on the road

The Houston Astros send Brad Peacock to the mound when they battle the Texas Rangers in Arlington Tuesday, which means bettors need to take note of one particular trend. In Peacock's previous six road starts, the Under is 6-0.

Texas is currently -127 favorites on the moneyline with a total of 10.


BoSox struggling mightily against LHP

The Boston Red Sox have been posting some ugly numbers against left-handed pitching as of late, going just 1-8 in their last nine games versus southpaws. Lefty John Danks will be on the bump for the Chicago White Sox when they face off against Boston at Fenway Park Tuesday.

Boston is currently -151 faves with a total of 9.5.


Rays dogs in Hellickson's return to rotation

Tampa Bay will be slight underdogs (+102) when Jeremy Hellickson returns to the mound Tuesday night when the Rays host the Kansas City Royals.

Hellickson underwent arthroscopic surgery on his pitching (right) elbow in late January and will be making his first start of the season Tuesday. Hellickson has a 3.70 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP in 95 career starts.

Road team dominating with this ump behind home plate

The road team has been benefiting in a big way when umpire Clint Fagan has been in charge as of late, winning 17 out of the last 21 games he's umped. Fagan will be calling balls and strikes for Wednesday's meeting between the San Diego Padres and the Colorado Rockies - making the Padres an attractive play.

The game is a pick 'em with a total of 11.


Mets, Gee trending Under vs. Braves

New York Mets pitcher Dillon Gee has been a fantastic Under bet against the Atlanta Braves lately. In Gee's last five starts against Atlanta, the Under is a perfect 5-0. He'll be on the mound for the Mets when they host the Braves at Citi Field Wednesday.

Atlanta is -126 favorite on the moneyline with a total of seven.


Umpire for Royals-Rays is an Over machine

Bettors backing the Over in games Lazaro Diaz has umped have been collecting some nice profits recently. In Diaz's last 11 games calling balls and strikes, the Over is 8-1-2. He'll be behind home plate for Wednesday's contest between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Kansas City Royals.


Third-worst money pitcher gets fresh start in NY

Newly acquired New York Yankees pitcher Brandon McCarthy and his backers alike are welcoming a change of scenery after his trade from Arizona to the Bronx Sunday. Through Tuesday, McCarthy ranks as the third-worst money pitcher in the majors with an atrocious $-1115, but he'll have a chance to turn things around in the American League.

McCarthy gets the ball against the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field Wednesday. BetOnline.com presently lists the Tribe as slight -112 faves with a total of 8.5.


History favors the Over in this matchup

In Los Angeles Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson's last five starts against the Toronto Blue Jays the Over is 5-0. Wilson gets the call when the Halos face off against the Jays in the Golden State Wednesday.

The Angels are currently -161 faves with a total of 8.5

Three streaking MLB bets to watch before the All-Star Break
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The baseball season doesn’t offer players many breathers during the 162-game gauntlet from April to October. That’s why the MLB All-Star Break is always a big deal – even if guys aren’t featured in the annual showcase of baseball’s top talents.

Some teams are closing in on their division leaders and look at the final stretch before the break as a perfect time to put their heads down and go all out before some time off. Others clubs, the ones sliding back in the standings, are counting the days until time away from the diamond, clubhouse and probing media and may not be 100 percent focused on the schedule ahead.

Here are three teams to watch in the final week of MLB betting action before the All-Star Break.

Seattle Mariners (49-40, +956 units)

The Mariners are playing great ball with seven wins in their last 10 outings, heading into Tuesday’s home game against Minnesota. The pitching has been superb with Seattle giving up two or fewer runs in six of its last eight games, including two shutouts. The bullpen is the best in the majors - 2.45 ERA - with 28 saves and nine blown saves.

The M’s are third in the American League West – 7.5 games behind Oakland – and have a great opportunity to close that gap during an upcoming three-game showdown with the A’s at Safeco Field before the break.

Washington Nationals (48-40, -80 units)

The Nationals were a little slow going in the spring, especially in May, but have been picking up steam in the National League East. Washington is just half a game behind Atlanta heading into Tuesday’s interleague contest with Baltimore, having won seven of their previous 10 games.

The Nats stumbled Monday, giving up eight runs to the Orioles, but have been very stingy with the runs in recent outings. Before that loss, Washington allowed more than three runs just once in the eight games previous. The Nationals can push themselves ahead of the Braves during a road set in Philadelphia before the break – already winning four of six games versus the Phillies this season.

San Diego Padres (40-49, -1062 units)

Could one of the worst bets in baseball suddenly be on the rise? The Padres have been plagued by poor hitting all season – ranked 30th in the bigs – but their bats have come to life in recent outings. San Diego scored eight runs on July 1 and put six on the board in Colorado Monday, giving backers their sixth win in the past 10 games – a haul of +348 units.

Of course, Coors Field could have something to do with that Monday result. But so could getting out of power-sucking Petco Park, which is among the most pitcher-friendly parks in America. The Padres could enjoy life on the road before the break. They head into the All-Star hiatus off a four-game road series against the Dodgers, who have four players looking past San Diego and to the ASG in Minnesota.
