Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

-- Baltimore Orioles won again; they lead the AL East by 8.5 games.

-- NBA ref Dick Bavetta retired after 39 years; at age 74, Bavetta had worked his last 2,635 regular season games without missing one. He runs clinics for kids up in Lake Luzerne, where he lives. Good man; we wish him well.

-- Tough break for Ohio State; senior QB Braxton Miller (shoulder) won't play at all this season, lowering expectations greatly in Columbus.

-- Cleveland Browns have had eight head coaches, seven GMs since they came back to the NFL in 1999. Not much continuity there.

-- Don't look now, but NHL preseason starts September 21, only a month away.

-- For second time in a month, a major league home team won a rain-shortened game because its grounds crew couldn't put the tarp on the field properly in fifth inning when the home team held a small lead. This time it was the Cubs. Game was not officially called until after 2am; Giants seemed pretty upset by things.

Game of the Day: Braves at Pirates
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Atlanta Braves at Pittsburgh Pirates (-117, 7)

Gerrit Cole makes his return to the Pittsburgh Pirates rotation Wednesday when he leads his club into the finale of a three-game series against the visiting Atlanta Braves. Cole has been sidelined with a right lat strain since throwing five scoreless innings against Philadelphia on July 4. His return comes at a challenging time for the Pirates, who have lost seven in a row and are two games out in the race for the second National League wild-card spot.

Atlanta is heading in the other direction, taking the first two games of the series by an 18-6 margin to push its winning streak to five games. The Braves moved into a tie with San Francisco for the second wild card while staying six behind Washington in the NL East. Left fielder Justin Upton has been fueling the charge, hitting .421 with three home runs and eight RBIs during the five-game run.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, SportSouth (Atlanta), ROOT (Pittsburgh)

LINE HISTORY: The Pirates opened as -125 home favorites and have been bet down to -117. The run total is currently at 7.0.

INJURY WATCH: Braves - RP Shae Simmons (15-day DL, shoulder). Pirates - CF Andrew McCutchen (Questionable, ribs), SS Clint Barmes (Late August, groin), SP Gerrit Cole (Probably, back).

POWER RANKINGS: Braves (-165), Pirates (-156).

PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves LH Alex Wood (9-9, 3.07 ERA) vs. Pirates RH Gerrit Cole (7-4, 3.78)

Wood won his second straight start Friday against Oakland, limiting the Athletics to two runs and four hits in six innings. He had just one strikeout, a season low as a starter, after fanning 12 in 7 1/3 innings five days earlier against Washington. The 23-year-old has a 2.84 ERA in 17 starts this season.

Cole tossed seven scoreless frames while throwing 92 pitches in his final rehab start for Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday. He failed to get through six innings in each of his final three major-league starts prior to the injury. Cole, who has never faced Atlanta, is 3-1 with a 3.56 ERA in seven home starts.

TRENDS:

* Braves are 5-0 in the last five meetings.
* Under is 26-8-1 in the last 35 meetings in Pittsburgh.
* Under is 46-21-4 in the last 71 meetings.
* Pirates are 0-7 in their last seven games overall.

CONSENSUS: Fifty-four percent of wagers are on the Braves at +108.

Wednesday, August 20


What trend was hot on the diamond Tuesday night?

Favorites were the best bet in major league action Tuesday night going 11-4 straight up, hitting at a mark of over 73 percent.

The over also had a good night going 9-5 over/under, coming in at over 64 percent. Much better than the season average of 49 precent.

[StarDust Bum]

Mornng Dog......well those Royals came thru.....i can't say much about the Grand Slam on the Giants game......the grounds crew in Chicago pretty much screwed that game up.......As many times they spread that

tarp out how can they make a mistake like that......If the Giants lose the West by a game they will look back on this game for sure........
