Monday's Diamond Notes
May 15, 2016


Hottest team: Yankees (7-3 last 10)
New York is still sitting in last place of the AL East in spite of a 7-3 homestand. The Yankees outlasted the White Sox on Sunday, 7-5 to grab two of three from the AL Central leaders. New York’s offense woke up at home by scoring at least six runs in five of those victories, while the ‘over’ cashed seven times in the past 10 games. The Yankees travel to Arizona for their first game against an NL opponent, as right-hander Chad Green makes his Major League debut for New York on the mound.


Coldest team: Tigers (2-11 last 13)
Detroit avoided the sweep at Baltimore on Sunday with a 6-5 victory, but the Tigers finished its Beltway road trip against the Nationals and Orioles at 2-5. The Tigers have played 12 of their last 15 games away from Comerica Park as the next nine games will take place in the Motor City against the Twins, Rays, and Phillies. Jordan Zimmermann began the season at 5-0 for Detroit, but lost his last two starts to the Rangers and Nationals. In both of those outings, Zimmermann was opposed by Cole Hamels and Max Scherzer, as the Tigers’ ace is opposed by Minnesota rookie Jose Berrios in Monday’s series opener.


Hottest pitcher: J.A. Happ, Blue Jays (5-0, 2.05 ERA)
The Toronto southpaw has put together seven quality starts this season, while coming with one out of a complete game shutout in his last outing at San Francisco. In all three home victories for Happ, the Blue Jays have scored 29 runs, while Toronto is hosting Tampa Bay for the first time this season after the first seven meetings took place at Tropicana Field. The two no-decisions for Happ this season came against the Rays, both Toronto losses as the Jays’ bullpen gave up a lead in each of those defeats.


Coldest pitcher: Cody Anderson, Indians (0-3, 7.31 ERA)
Anderson makes his first start since a May 7 home loss to the Royals. The right-hander is winless in five starts this season, while allowing four earned runs or more in each of his past five starts. Cleveland won five of six matchups with Cincinnati last season, while the Indians have won four consecutive home series openers, which bodes well for the struggling Anderson.


Biggest UNDER run: Phillies (4-1-1 last six at home)
Philadelphia allowed its most runs in the last 13 games in a 9-4 home defeat to Cincinnati on Sunday. The Phillies eclipsed the ‘over’ at home for the first time in the past six games, while snapping a six-game winning streak at Citizens Bank Park (all wins by one run each). In the previous five home victories, the Phillies allowed three runs or less, going 4-0-1 to the ‘under’ prior to Cincinnati’s blowout on Sunday. Jerad Eickhoff takes the mound for the Phillies against the Marlins, as Philadelphia owns a 5-1 mark to the ‘under’ in his previous six outings.


Biggest OVER run: Red Sox (7-0 last seven)
Boston’s offense is coming off an incredible homestand by plating 73 runs in seven games, while going ‘over’ the total in each contest. The Red Sox have finished ‘under’ the total in four of the past six games away from Fenway Park as they travel to Kansas City to begin a three-game series. The Royals were riding an 8-1 mark to the ‘over’ prior to three consecutive ‘unders’ cashed in this past weekend’s series against the Braves. In seven meetings last season between the Red Sox and Royals, the ‘over’ finished 5-1-1.

Matchup to watch: Angels vs. Dodgers
The first edition of the Freeway Series takes place at Chavez Ravine as the Angels look to stay on fire. Following an 0-6 homestand against the Rays and Cardinals, the Halos bounced back in a big way by sweeping the AL West-leading Mariners at Safeco Field, capped off by a victory over Felix Hernandez on Sunday. The Dodgers captured five of six matchups from their Southern California counterparts last season, including a three-game sweep at Dodger Stadium. Dodgers’ right-hander Kenta Maeda has struggled of late by going 0-2 in his last three starts, while allowing 10 earned runs and 15 hits in this span. Matt Shoemaker has failed to win in his last four outings for the Angels, while failing to last past the fourth innings in three straight starts.

Betcha didn’t know: Oakland returns home after rallying past Tampa Bay on Sunday to host Texas. The Athletics own a 1-4 record in home series openers, compared to a 5-2 mark in Game 1’s of a road series. Derek Holland gets the ball for Texas, as the Rangers are 3-1 in his last four starts at the Coliseum, but Texas has compiled a 1-5 record in his past six outings on the road since September 2015.


Biggest public favorite: Dodgers (-180) vs. Angels


Biggest public underdog: Rays (+115) at Blue Jays


Biggest line move: Red Sox (-105 to -110) at Royals

LEADING OFF: Rangers, Blue Jays await penalties after fight
May 16, 2016


A look at what's happening all around the majors today:


AFTER THE FIGHT


One day after their wild brawl that featured Texas second baseman Rougned Odor punching Toronto slugger Jose Bautista in the jaw, the Rangers and Blue Jays go their separate ways while awaiting possible suspensions from Major League Baseball. Texas opens a three-game series at Oakland, with Derek Holland coming off two terrible outings. Toronto returns home to play Tampa Bay as J.A. Happ (5-0, 2.05 ERA) tries to win his eighth straight decision dating to last season.


NEIGHBORHOOD RIVALRIES


Local bragging rights are on the line in a pair of interleague series: Kenta Maeda and the Los Angeles Dodgers host the Angels in the Freeway Series, hours after Cincinnati visits Cleveland in the battle of Ohio.

ROLLIN' RED SOX


Boston's relentless lineup begins a three-game series in Kansas City against the defending World Series champions. The Red Sox are coming off a 6-1 homestand when they reached double digits in runs five times and scored 73 in all. Rick Porcello (6-1, 3.11 ERA) starts the opener against Royals right-hander Yordano Ventura (3-2, 4.62). Porcello has pitched at least six innings in 15 straight starts, the longest active streak in the majors.

STARTS ON TOP


The surprising Phillies are a game behind the Nationals for the NL East lead and one of the big keys has been leadoff man Odubel Herrera. The former Rule 5 draft pick has become a walk machine, ranking third in the majors with a .448 on-base percentage and already eclipsing his total from last season with 29 free passes. Philadelphia opens a series against Miami.


PITCHING IN


Williams Perez tries to keep up an impressive run by Atlanta's rotation of late - Braves starters have a 2.85 ERA over the past 14 games. Perez (1-0, 3.54) is a recent addition to a group that includes youngsters Julio Teheran, Matt Wisler, Mike Foltynewicz and Aaron Blair. Despite their efforts, Atlanta is 4-10 in those games and 9-27 overall. Perez faces Jonathon Niese and the Pirates.

Toronto in 5-- You collect 66-1.


Toronto in 6-- You collect 16-1.


Toronto in 7-- You collect 22-1.


Cleveland in 4-- You collect $260 on a $100 bet

Cleveland in 6-- You collec $400 on a $100 bet.


Cleveland in 7-- You collect $500 on a $100 bet.


**********


Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but........


13) Thunder 108, Warriors 102-- Golden State led 61-47 at half, but were held to 41 points in second half as Thunder grab home-court edge in series. Oklhaoma City won a game where Westbrook/Durant combined to shoot 17-51.


12) Over last ten years, Winnipeg/Edmonton are only two NHL teams who haven't won at least one playoff game.


11) Why was Roughned Odor so mad at Jose Bautista? Because of some stupid bat flip from LY's playoffs? Odor avoided Bautista's hard slide into second; not sure why that game turned into a WWE Ranger Rumble, but suspensions will be handed down.


10) A's 3B Danny Valencia has five HRs in his last four games, after not having any in his previous 17 games.


9) Couple of signings in college basketball: Omer Yurtseven signs with NC State; he is from Turkey. Jordy Tshimanga signs with Nebraska.


8) Serious question: Can Bill Clinton be his wife's running mate?


7) Tennessee Ttians cut Zach Mettenberger, leaving Matt Cassel as their #2 QB. Guy on ESPN who used to be an NFL GM said there is probably more than meets the eye to this story and if the Chargers don't pick him up then it is really a red flag.


6) Since 1960, worst winning %'s of NFL starting QBs:
0-10-- Zach Mettenberger, Brodie Croyle
0-8-- Curtis Painter
0-7-- John Beck, Gary Marangi


5) Syracuse offers a degree in Sports Analytics; where was this topic when I was a young college student? I had to drag myself thru with an English degree. No bueno.


4) Toronto center Valunciunas is out for Game 1 tonight, and doubtful for Game 2, which is bad news for the Raptors, but backup Biyombo played well against Miami.


3) I'll say this about the draft; no way in hell is Domnatas Sabonis of Gonzaga the #12 pick in this draft, where ESPN has him in their mock draft. Much higher.


2) 76ers are first NBA team to sell advertising on their uniforms, they got $15M over thrtee years from Stub Hub.


1) NBA Draft Lottery is tonight; you listen to experts, the real loser is the team that gets the #3 pick, since Simmons/Ingram are the consensus top two picks, no matter who gets those choices.

[CNOTES]

Tuesday's Diamond Notes
May 17, 2016


Hottest team: Giants (7-3 last 10)
San Francisco picked up a nice amount of revenge on Arizona this past weekend after getting swept by the Diamondbacks at home last month. The Giants pulled off a four-game sweep of Arizona at Chase Field, while giving up only seven runs in the four victories. San Francisco is riding a five-game winning streak, as the Giants travel south to San Diego to face a Padres’ squad that is returning home from a 4-3 road trip. Madison Bumgarner gets the ball in the opener at Petco Park, as the Giants are 4-0 in his last four starts, while the ‘over’ has cashed each time.


Coldest team: Blue Jays (3-6 last nine)
It’s been a rough couple of days for Toronto, coming off the brawl at Texas on Sunday, followed by a 13-2 drubbing at the hands of the Rays on Monday. The Blue Jays dropped to 19-21, even though that’s a better record through 40 games than the 18-22 mark to begin last season when Toronto eventually won the AL East title. Toronto has lost three straight games at Rogers Center, as Marcus Stroman looks to turn things around and improve on his 4-0 record against Tampa Bay.


Hottest pitcher: Rick Porcello, Red Sox (6-1, 3.11 ERA)
Porcello received an extra day off following Monday’s rain-out at Kansas City. The Boston right-hander has won six of seven decisions this season, while allowing six earned runs in his last four starts. The Red Sox own a 2-1 record in his three road outings, while Porcello has received at least five runs of support in five of his seven trips to the mound. However, Porcello is winless in his last three starts against the Royals since 2014.


Coldest pitcher: Dallas Keuchel, Astros (2-5, 5.58 ERA)
The Cy Young hangover for the Houston southpaw is evident as Keuchel is winless in his last five trips to the hill. Keuchel was racked by the Red Sox his last time out, giving up 10 hits and eight earned runs in six innings of work of an 11-1 defeat, the fourth straight road loss for the left-hander. Keuchel has allowed at least five earned runs in four of his last five starts, while the Astros have plated two runs or less in each of his past four outings.


Biggest UNDER run: Diamondbacks (6-2-1 last nine at home)
Arizona’s offense exploded in Monday’s opener against the Yankees, as the D-backs eclipsed the ‘over’ for only the second time in the past nine games at Chase Field. Last night’s performance snapped a 10-game home streak of scoring four runs or less, as Arizona sends out Zack Greinke to the mound. Greinke has hit the ‘under’ in three of his last four home starts, while the Yankees have scored three runs or less in each of Michael Pineda’s previous six outings.


Biggest OVER run: Red Sox (7-0 last seven)
Boston’s offense is coming off an incredible homestand by plating 73 runs in seven games, while going ‘over’ the total in each contest. The Red Sox have finished ‘under’ the total in four of the past six games away from Fenway Park as they travel to Kansas City to begin a three-game series. The Royals were riding an 8-1 mark to the ‘over’ prior to three consecutive ‘unders’ cashed in this past weekend’s series against the Braves. In seven meetings last season between the Red Sox and Royals, the ‘over’ finished 5-1-1.


Matchup to watch: Nationals vs. Mets
These two NL East rivals meet for the first time this season as each team sends out its ace in the series opener. Max Scherzer is coming off one of the most dominant performances of his career in his last outing against the Tigers, striking out 20 in a complete game victory. The last time these teams met to close out the 2015 season at Citi Field, Scherzer struck out 17 batters as he no-hit the Mets, 2-0. Noah Syndergaard counters for New York, as the New York right-hander knocked out two home runs and allowed two earned runs in a 4-3 victory at Los Angeles in his last start. After the Mets won 11 of Syndergaard’s 14 starts at Citi Field last season, the Mets own a 1-2 record in his three home starts in 2016.


Betcha didn’t know: Last season as a member of the Red Sox, Wade Miley allowed 12 runs in 6.1 innings against the Orioles. Miley gets another shot at Baltimore to open its three-game series at Camden Yards as the Mariners have won each of his past four starts, including a 3-1 record in his four outings away from Safeco Field.


Biggest public favorite: Pirates (-175) vs. Braves


Biggest public underdog: Yankees (+120) at Diamondbacks

Biggest line move: White Sox (+100 to -110) vs. Astros

 

[CNOTES]

LEADING OFF: Bonds tells Harper to run, Scherzer faces Thor
May 17, 2016


A look at what's happening all around the majors today:


GIVEN FIRST? TAKE SECOND


Barry Bonds has some advice for Bryce Harper: If pitchers are going to put you on first base, may as well set your sights on second. Bonds, the career home run and walk leader and now Marlins hitting coach, said Harper is ''going to need to learn to steal bases and get to second base and make his teammates' job easier.'' Harper leads the majors with 41 walks and has six stolen bases this season, tying his highest mark since swiping 11 in 2013.


CONNECT IF YOU CAN


Batters will dig in at their own risk when the Nationals' Max Scherzer (4-2, 4.15 ERA) faces the Mets' Noah Syndergaard (3-2, 2.53 ERA). It's the first start for Scherzer since he matched the major league record with 20 strikeouts in a nine-inning game against the Tigers on Wednesday. Syndergaard, meanwhile, has the highest average fastball velocity in the majors at 97.9 mph (per Fangraphs) and tied a career high with eight innings his last time out - a game in which he also slugged two homers.


SWINGING BIG


Astros star Jose Altuve brings his suddenly remarkable power to Chicago for a three-game series against the White Sox. The 5-foot-6 second baseman hit a surprising 15 home runs last season, and now he's on pace to blow past that total before the All-Star break, slugging nine homers in his first 39 games. Altuve also entered Monday leading the majors with 2.7 wins above replacement, per Fangraphs, just ahead of the Orioles' Manny Machado and the Cubs' Dexter Fowler.


GOOD, BUT FOR HOW LONG?


Danny Salazar (3-2, 1.90 ERA) has been excellent for the Indians, but can he be efficient? The right-hander hasn't allowed more than three runs or four hits in a game yet this season, but he also has been pulled before finishing six innings in three of his seven starts. Most recently, he walked six over five innings of one-run ball against Houston in a 5-3 loss. He faces the Reds and Alfredo Simon (1-3, 8.67 ERA).


BIG ONES IN BALTIMORE


The AL East-leading Orioles begin a series with the Mariners after having their seven-game winning streak snapped by Detroit on Sunday. Seattle, meanwhile, was rolling atop the AL West before getting swept by the Angels over the weekend. Wade Miley (3-2, 4.91 ERA) goes for the Mariners against Ubaldo Jimenez (2-3, 4.87 ERA).


WHIFFS AROUND


Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw (5-1, 1.74 ERA) goes for his sixth straight double-digit strikeout game when Los Angeles hosts the Angels. Kershaw has a 57-to-2 strikeout-to-walk ratio over his last five starts.

Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

Odds on random football games this coming fall..........


-- Week 2: Colts @ Broncos (-4)


-- Week 3: Bears @ Cowboys (-6)


-- Week 4: Dolphins @ Bengals (-6.5)


-- Week 5: Giants @ Packers (-7)


-- Week 6: Falcons @ Seahawks (-9.5)


-- Week 7: Patriots @ Steelers (-1.5)


**********


Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Good to be home after vacation......


13) 76ers won the NBA Draft Lottery, will probably take Ben Simmons, seeing as how coach Brett Brown coached Simmons' dad in Australia a long time ago.


12) Cavaliers 115, Raptors 84-- Cleveland is now 9-0 this postseason. Looks like the drama in this round will be in the series out west.


11) Warriors' Klay Thompson scored 25 points in first three quarters of Game 1 with the Thunder, but was scoreless in the fateful 4th quarter.


10) MLB suspended Rougned Odor eight games after Sunday's fight with Toronto, but because of a ridiculous appeal system MLB has, Odor is playing this week. Once the suspension is announced, the player should be suspended immediately. The way it is now, the player basically gets to choose when he is suspended.


9) Rays 12, Jays 2-- Toronto lost its last four games, was outscored 25-4 in the last two; they've also lost four in a row at home.


8) Indians 13, Reds 1-- Cincinnati reliever Stever Delabar issued four consecutive bases-loaded walks, first time a pitcher has done that.


7) Braves fired manager Fredi Gonzalez, then lost 12-9 to the Pirates, with one of its top pitching prospects giving up nine runs in less than two innings. No bueno.


6) Pirates gave catcher Dominic Cervelli $31M for three years, a sign of the ballclub's commitment to winning. Good for them.


5) Had great seats for the Marlins-Phillies game in Philly Monday night. Sat right next to ballgirl in right field. They don't have an easy job.


When the Phillies change pitchers, the ballgirl sprints out to the bullpen in centerfield to get the pitcher's jacket from the clubhouse attendant- they're not allowed to interact with the players directly. When the visiting team changes pitchers, the ballgirl down the leftfield line gets the jacket.


There are 22 ballgirls in Philly; they rotate between field duty and running the team's 50-50 raffle for charity and working in the team's recycling drive.


4) Restaurant recommendations: Crab Trap in Ocean City, NJ and the Anchorage Tavern in Somers Point, where I got a piece of chicken parm that looked like it could tip over Fred Flintstone's car.


3) A's 8, Rangers 5-- Khris Davis homered three times, the last one a walk-off grand slam to send everyone home happy. Oakland has won four of last five games since the epic pounding their pitching staff took in Boston last week.


2) Good to see Mets fans give Daniel Murphy an ovation on his return to Citi Field last night; he was my dad's favorite player and is hitting .399 this year.


1) My dad passed away a year ago today; I miss him a lot. Would be great to sit and watch a game with him one more time- he really loved baseball, especially the Mets.
