Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

-- Nationals 8, Dodgers 5 (14)-- Washington used 15 different players just in the 9th spot in the order in this one. Games like that make baseball unique.

-- Cincinnati Reds are 15-29 since the All-Star break. Oy.

-- Cubs 6, Brewers 2-- Milwaukee lost its last eight games.

-- Arizona's Daniel Hudson pitched in relief last night, his first appearance after two Tommy John surgeries. Had to be an emotional night for him.

-- Andrew Cashner would have a much better record if he got to pitch against the Padres 3-4 times a year, instead of for them every night.

-- MLB needs to post who is reviewing replays in New York; why won't they?

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Random stuff on a late summer day.....

13) Spent all day Wednesday in a pre-retirement seminar for my day job, as I'm approaching the end of my tenure there. One thing I thought a lot about-- we need to do career counseling for high school kids, let them see what their options are for their adult lives, before they get there. Kids would make better decisions if they knew more about the big picture- I really believe that.

12) There were 250 people at this seminar; lot of people looking ahead to their future with optimism.

One thing I learned today: 57 million people are currently cashing social security checks of some kind.

11) Mets are 14-2 this season when Kirk Nieuwenhuis starts in the outfield.

10) Speaking of Met outfielders, Curtis Granderson has already had seven streaks this year, where he went 0-17 or worse each time. No bueno.

9) NBA player Al Harrington is 6-foot-9; he played 500+ minutes last year, but did not block one shot. Hard to believe.

8) Worst part of the 6-game suspension for Colts' owner Jim Irsay might be his tweeting ban; he seems like an eccentric, nice guy. We wish him well.

7) Padres' rookie Cory Spangenberg hit a walkoff homer Tuesday night that was also his first major league tater-- not a bad time to do that.

6) Jets were 5-1 last year in games decided by 7 or less points, despite having a dismal -14 turnover ratio. Odd combination of stats. Both of those stats regress to the middle, so their turnover ratio figures to improve this year, especially since thyey won't be using a rookie QB this season.

5) Why teams lose: three years ago, Jacksonville drafted a punter in the third round, when Russell Wilson was still on the board. Whoops.

4) Guy on a TV commercial says he runs "....because running gives me patience." I don't run because running would give me a heart attack. So there........

3) 11 of 16 Tennessee Titan games last year were decided by 7 or less points; only four of the Rams' 16 games were that close.

2) Carolina Panthers were 5-2 last year in games decided by 7 or less points, which lot of people will tell you makes it harder for them to repeat their 12-4 record again this season. Lot of things went Carolina's way last season.

1) When Giarcarlo Stanton bats, I flip to that channel; always.

Padres lack of offense making good marks on totals

The San Diego Padres have been seeing a lot of low totals as of late (six of their last seven games have been below 7.0) and they have been paying out. In the past six games with sub-7.0 totals, the Padres are 1-5 over/under.

The Padres have averaged 2.5 runs per game during that span and have only once scored more than three.

Yankees an under machine facing high totals

The New York Yankees has been on-fire for bettors when they face a high total. In the last 11 games the Yankees has seen a total close at 9.0 or higher, they have a 1-8-2 over/under record.

The Yankees have scored an average of four runs per game during those games.

The Yankees host the Boston Red Sox with the total currently at 9.0.
