Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

-- LVH has Miami Dolphins' win total at 7.5; Cantor has it at 6.5. Play the under at LVH, over at Cantor and hope Miami goes 7-9.

-- Giants/Steelers/Saints all have win totals of 9 or 9.5, despite fact that all three teams missed the playoffs LY.

-- Minnesota has win totals of 7 or 7.5, the only team that made playoffs LY that has a win total of less than 8.

-- Atlanta/Denver were both 13-3 LY; Broncos' win total is either 11 or 11.5, while Atlanta's is only 10, despite adding Steven Jackson.

-- Jaguars/Chiefs were both 2-14 LY; Jags' win total is only 5, lowest in the NFL. Kansas City's is 6.5 or 7; is it faith in Andy Reid?

-- Eagles were 4-12 under Reid LY; their win total is 7 in their first year under Chip Kelly.

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

13) Lot of college basketball players transfer, but usually because of a lack of playing time or they don't shoot as much as they would like. UNLV had a kid transfer this weekend who was second in minutes played and second in shots taken. He wants to play point guard, since he (or his father) see that as his meal ticket to the NBA. Interesting story to follow.

12) Problem for the kid is this: UNLV didn't have a true point guard this past season, and they still wouldn't use him there; what does that say about his floor general skills? Two of his three landing spots are USC/Oregon; if UNLV didn't want to play him at the point, why would a Pac-12 team?

11) Kid's name is Katin Reinhardt, and he played high school ball at Mater Dei HS in southern California, a perennial basketball power; NBC Sports reports that since 2007, of the nine Mater Dei alums who were ranked in the top 150 nationally, eight of them transferred from their original college.

Kid at Colorado named Xavier Johnson is the exception, and he's only been in Boulder for one season. Plenty of time for him to make it 9-for-9.

10) USC/Oregon both have good coaches, smart guys. Andy Enfield was a celebrity this past March because he's smart; his offense requires a point guard who can play fast and distribute the ball. Guy worked in the NBA and on Wall Street; he went to college at Johns Hopkins, he's not going to play a kid at PG unless he's really good at it.

Dana Altman has won everywhere he's been; he already has PGs on his roster, so why would he play Reinhardt there, if Dave Rice wouldn't?

9) Reinhardt's best bet to play point guard in college is to go to Cal-Irvine and play for former Golden State assistant Russell Turner, but in the Big West, a lesser league than the Pac-12 or Mountain West.

8) One other transfer story; kid named Sheldon Jeter wants to transfer from Vanderbilt to Pitt (he is from Beaver Falls, PA), but Vandy won't sign his release to go to Pitt. he could still go there, but would have to pay his way next season, before going on scholarship in 2014-15.

Sometimes a coach gets annoyed with how the kid breaks the news about his transferring, or thinks the kid was tampered with; curious to find out how this winds up. Coaches can look bad when they block a transfer request.

7) Charlotte Bobcats hired Steve Clifford as head coach; not that long ago, the guy was coaching at Woodland HS in Maine and later spent a year as an assistant coach at Siena College here in Albany. Quite a leap to the NBA, where he's been an assistant for well over a decade.

6) Mariners sent 2B prospect Dustin Ackley down to the minors, based on his anemic .206 batting average. The way the Mets treat Ike Davis, if Ackley was on the Mets, they'd give him a contract extension and a raise.

5) Beating a dead horse: Davis is hitting .155; not only should he be sent to Las Vegas, the Mets' AAA team, maybe he should be parking cars at Bellagio instead of playing baseball for a living.

Seriously, the Mets are doing him a disservice by not putting him on the DL, at least. He needs some time off to clear his head.

4) Tony Parker dismantled the Grizzlies and Spurs swept Memphis four straight, with Games 2-3 in overtime. Seeing how Memphis traded Rudy Gay to get under the tax threshold, not sure how they get better this summer- it had a good enough team to win the NBA title before they traded Gay.

3) Blackhawks scored three third period goals, beat Detroit 4-3, forced a Game 7 in the Windy City Wednesday night; good deal for the NHL, which also has a Game 7 in the Staples Center tonight.

2) NL teams are now 9-24 at AL teams in interleague play, where they have to use the unfamiliar DH; interesting to see if that trend holds up.

1) I like interleague play in baseball, but I'd like geographic realignment a lot better; less travel, more rivalry games. Just think it would be better.

See spot. See spot bet: This week's best spot bet opportunities

Spot bets are a classic handicapping practice that have proven profitable no matter what sport you’re betting. Whether it’s a team looking past this week’s opponent, one coming off a hard-fought victory, or a rough patch of schedule, bettors can find value picking their spots.

Lookahead spot

Boston’s Big Apple dreams

Boston and Philadelphia have a long and heated sports history but nothing holds a candle to Boston vs. New York, more specifically Red Sox versus Yankees. The two AL East powers are scheduled to clash for the first time since a season-opening, three-game set beginning Friday in New York.

The Red Sox, who are locked with the Yankees atop the division, have a four-game interleague set against the Phillies before making the trip to the Big Apple. Philadelphia is a shell of its former self, at 24-26 heading into Monday, but could hold value as Boston’s series with New York draws closer. The BoSox were 1-5 in the final game of a series before playing the Yankees last season.

Letdown spot

Pens, Bruins' long layoff

The Pittsburgh Penguins are enjoying their extended break after eliminating the Ottawa Senators in the second round of the NHL playoffs last Friday. After a compacted regular season and the grind of postseason hockey, the Pens can lick their wounds for at least four days before opening the Eastern Conference final versus the Boston Bruins.

Things aren’t settled in the West and Pittsburgh and Boston could be sitting around for a while before the puck drops. Boston knocked off the New York Rangers in five games Saturday and also gets some much-need downtime after a seven-game, first-round series with Toronto. Both teams could be a little rusty when the East championship finally gets underway, giving value to the under.

Schedule spot

Shock to the system

The Tulsa Shock are hoping to avoid another season in the WNBA basement and have high hopes after adding college standout Skylar Diggins. The Notre Dame product was shaky in her debut, scoring 15 points on 4-of-12 shooting while coughing the ball up five times in a 98-81 loss at Atlanta Saturday. The Shock failed to cover as 8.5-point road underdogs.

Tulsa hosts Washington Monday, then hits the highway for four straight road games starting Friday. The Shock visit New York and Chicago on the weekend, then go west to Seattle and Los Angeles the next week. Tulsa was one of the worst road teams in the league last season, going 3-14 SU (9-7-1 ATS), and isn't getting those beefy road spreads like last year.

Preview: Tigers (29-23) at Orioles (30-24)
Game: 1
Venue: Oriole Park at Camden Yards
Date: May 31, 2013 7:05 PM EDT


In the midst of the best start by a Detroit pitcher in six years, Max Scherzer is more pleased about what he's been able to do for the Tigers than his own success.

Looking to improve to 8-0, Scherzer tries to help the visiting Tigers avoid matching a season-high fourth straight loss Friday night against the surging Baltimore Orioles.

Scherzer (7-0, 3.42 ERA) has allowed two runs and five hits over 14 innings to win his last two starts. He allowed one run and three hits through six innings of a 6-1 win over Minnesota on Sunday.

Though Scherzer has a chance to become the first Detroit (29-23) pitcher to go 8-0 since Jeremy Bonderman in 2007, he's remained focused on what is important.

"If I was 0-7 but pitching well and giving the team a chance to win, I'd still be as proud of that,' said Scherzer, who won 43 games the previous three seasons. "For me, it's all about going out there and making sure that I'm pitching deep into games and keeping their offense down, and I've been doing that for the most part.'

The right-hander retired 25 straight batters before he allowed back-to-back walks to start the second inning against the Twins.

"He's added a curveball a little bit more, just another weapon, just kind of a `show-me' pitch,' manager Jim Leyland said. "When he gets in that arm slot and can be repetitive with it, he's pretty nasty.'

Scherzer, who is 2-1 with a 4.68 ERA in four starts versus Baltimore, hopes his teammates can get untracked at the plate after they totaled three runs and were shut out twice in three straight losses to Pittsburgh.

Miguel Cabrera had two hits Thursday, but the Tigers dropped their second 11-inning, 1-0 game in the last three to the Pirates.

Cabrera, who leads the majors with a .369 average, is batting .452 with four homers and eight RBIs in his last eight games at Camden Yards.

Miguel Gonzalez (2-2, 3.94) will try to cool off Cabrera and help the Orioles (30-24) to a fifth straight home win.

The right-hander has not factored in the decision of the two starts he's made since coming off the disabled list from a blister on his thumb, but allowed three runs and struck out 12 in 12 2-3 innings of those outings. He gave up one run, struck out seven in 5 2-3 innings and was in line for the win Sunday before closer Jim Johnson was tagged for four runs in a 6-5 loss at Toronto on Sunday.

In Gonzalez's only previous start versus Detroit last season, he allowed three runs and walked five in 5 2-3 innings of a 4-0 loss.

Nate McLouth had three hits while Manny Machado and Nick Markakis each had two with an RBI on Thursday as Baltimore won for the seventh time in 10 games, 2-0 over Washington.

Machado is 17 for 40 (.425) in his last nine games, while McLouth has hit .409 in his last 11.

Baltimore's Chris Davis is batting .353 with 19 homers and 50 RBIs, and .364 (4 for 11) against Scherzer.

"Offensively (the Orioles) look very good," Leyland told the Tigers' official website. "They've got a lot of guys with good averages."

Detroit's Torii Hunter will miss the first two of the set to attend his son's high school graduation.

Preview: Red Sox (33-22) at Yankees (30-23)
Game: 1
Venue: Yankee Stadium
Date: May 31, 2013 7:05 PM EDT


The New York Yankees hope the expected return of two key players from injuries will help them end their season-high five-game slide.

Regardless of who is in the lineup, they could have a hard time ending Jon Lester's success in the Bronx when they face the archrival Boston Red Sox on Friday night.

New York (30-23) has been outscored 24-10 in the past five games - the last four of which were a Subway Series sweep by the Mets. The Yankees, who mustered a Robinson Cano homer and three other hits in a 3-1 defeat Thursday, last dropped six in a row in a season May 11-16, 2011.

However, help appears on the way with Mark Teixeira and Kevin Youkilis likely to be activated from the disabled list Friday.

"It could be a great boost for us,' manager Joe Girardi said. "I don't want to put too much pressure on the guys coming back, but it depends on what kind of starts they get off to.'

Teixeira, who averaged 34 homers and 106 RBIs in his previous four seasons, has yet to play after injuring his wrist during the World Baseball classic. Youkilis, the ex-Red Sox infielder, was batting .266 with two homers and seven RBIs in 17 games before he went on the DL on April 30 with a back injury.

Both could help New York avenge its first series with Boston (33-22), which took two of three in the Bronx to open the season. The Red Sox have moved two games up on the Yankees for the AL East lead.

"Through the first 50-plus games, both teams have answered some questions and have met challenges head-on with personnel and changes to the roster," Red Sox manager John Farrell told the team's official website. "I would expect fully that it'll be not only a focal point around the game, but one that our guys are certainly looking forward to."

Lester (6-1, 3.34 ERA) has gone 8-2 with a 3.47 ERA in 14 starts at New York, and 2-0 with a 1.59 ERA in his last three there. He yielded two runs and struck out seven in five innings of a season-opening 8-2 victory April 1.

The left-hander, however, has given up 10 runs and 17 hits in 13 innings to go 0-1 in his last two starts after posting a 2.72 ERA in the first nine. Lester struck out a season-high eight but gave up four runs and 10 hits in seven innings of a 7-4 win over Cleveland on Saturday.

New York's CC Sabathia (4-4, 3.96) has also struggled in his latest two outings, giving up 11 runs and 19 hits in 13 1-3 innings while going 0-1. He allowed a season-high seven runs in seven innings of an 8-3 loss to Tampa Bay on Sunday.

The left-hander went winless in six consecutive starts twice, from July 3-Aug. 1, 2002, and March 31-April 27, 2003.

"He's missing some pitches and he's not getting away with it,' Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild said. "Early in the season, he had the same velocity and pitched really well. He was just executing pitches better.'

Sabathia yielded four runs and walked four in five innings of the opening-day loss to Lester. He's 4-3 with a 3.92 ERA in nine starts versus Boston at Yankee Stadium.

The Red Sox's Jacoby Ellsbury has one hit in his last seven at_bats versus Sabathia, but is 11 for 23 in the last five games overall. He had three hits and stole a club-record five bases as Boston won for the 11th time in 16 games, 9-2 at Philadelphia on Thursday.

Preview: Rays (29-24) at Indians (29-24)
Game: 1
Venue: Progressive Field
Date: May 31, 2013 7:05 PM EDT


Matt Moore's bid to become the first nine-game winner in the major leagues was supposed to come against the worst hitting team in baseball.

Instead, the Tampa Bay Rays left-hander will face a Cleveland Indians team that's starting to swing the bats well again.

Moore will try to help Tampa Bay match a season high with a sixth consecutive victory Friday night when it takes on Cleveland, which appears to be getting back on track.

The first Rays starter to win his first eight decisions, Moore (8-0, 2.21 ERA) will pitch on an extra day's rest. He was supposed to get the ball Thursday at Miami, but that start went to Alex Colome after the team pushed back Alex Cobb (finger laceration), who had been scheduled for Friday.

Colome, in his first major league start, threw 5 1-3 innings of one-run ball in a 5-2 victory to help Tampa Bay (29-24) move a season-best five games over .500. The Rays have won eight of 11 on the road.

Tampa Bay was 9-0 in Moore's starts before Fernando Rodney blew the save and Josh Lueke surrendered the winning run in a 4-3, 11-inning loss to the New York Yankees on Saturday.

Moore gave up one run in six innings.

"(Bullpen struggles are) something that every pitcher (has gone) through," Moore told the Rays' official website. "... It's one of those things where we're going to find adjustments to make sure it doesn't happen again."

Moore can become the first pitcher since Ubaldo Jimenez in 2010 with Colorado to win nine games before June 1. He'll make his second start against the Indians (29-24) this season after striking out eight in a 4-0 home win April 5, when he yielded two hits - both to Michael Bourn - in six innings.

Cleveland lost 6-0 the following night before pounding out 17 hits in the series finale, a 13-0 victory April 7.

The Indians have again rebounded from a rough stretch at the plate, totaling 12 runs and 20 hits in back-to-back victories after scoring 14 runs during a season-high five-game skid. In a 7-1 victory over Cincinnati on Thursday, Cleveland plated all of its runs with two outs in the fourth inning.

"That was impressive," manager Terry Francona said.

Winner of 15 of 19 at home, Cleveland opens this three-game series with Corey Kluber (3-3, 4.57) getting his first look at the Rays. The right-hander, 2-3 with a 4.95 ERA in six starts since joining the rotation April 20, turned in his best outing of the year Sunday.

Kluber went 6 2-3 innings and allowed one run and three hits while striking out a career-high 10 in a 6-5 loss at Boston on Sunday. Like Moore's last start, Kluber was in line for the win before the Red Sox scored four times in the ninth.

"He's gaining confidence," Francona told the Indians' official website. "You can see it in the way he attacks pitches, the way he attacks hitters, and the results of this game weren't what we wanted at the end, but his start was fantastic."

Rays right fielder Matt Joyce had one hit in 10 at_bats last month against Cleveland, but he's batting .375 during a seven-game hitting streak after delivering a two-run homer Thursday.

Cleveland's Michael Brantley came into the game on a 1-for-15 skid and had an RBI single while going 1 for 3. Jason Kipnis added a run-scoring single, but he's in a 5-for-37 slump.

The two players were a combined 1 for 14 versus Tampa Bay last month, going hitless in four at_bats off Moore.

Moore allowed five runs and walked five in 4 2-3 innings in his only start in Cleveland, a 7-3 loss June 7.

Preview: Brewers (19-33) at Phillies (26-28)
Game: 1
Venue: Citizens Bank Park
Date: May 31, 2013 7:05 PM EDT


Cole Hamels and Yovani Gallardo are front-line starters for their respective teams, but their records are unbecoming of that status as they fight through struggles.

Yet both have reason to be optimistic when they square off in the opener of a three-game series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night.

Hamels (1-8, 4.43 ERA) has exceeded his loss total from 2012 and is within three of his career high set in 2009 and matched in 2010. The left-hander dropped his career-worst fifth straight start Sunday, giving up five runs in 6 1-3 innings of a 6-1 defeat at Washington.

While Hamels didn't pitch well in that game, a lack of run support has also plagued the 17-game winner from last year. The Phillies have provided him 20 runs in his 11 starts, and he hasn't pitched with a lead since April 7.

``It's just part of the game,' Hamels said when asked about the lack of offensive support. ``You have to go out there and execute pitch after pitch and try to get through the hitters, through the innings, and obviously through the game.'

Hamels has certainly battled Milwaukee well, winning his last four matchups with a 2.08 ERA. He won his only start versus the Brewers last season, giving up three runs - all on two homers - in 7 2-3 innings of a 4-3 victory Aug. 18.

Ryan Braun had one of those home runs, his third in 25 at_bats against Hamels.

The Phillies (26-28), who have scored more than five runs once in their last 12 games, settled for a split of their four-game set with Boston after a 9-2 defeat Thursday.

``It's a battle for us to win games,' Manuel said after his team dropped to 8-23 when scoring three or fewer runs. ``We haven't blown many people out. In order for us to get a winning streak, we have to score more runs.'

Domonic Brown had two hits and is batting .359 with six homers and 12 RBIs in his last 10 contests.

Gallardo (3-5, 4.79) can certainly empathize with Hamels, both in terms of struggles and run support. He has a 5.40 ERA during a career-worst four-start losing streak, but the Brewers (19-33) have given him little help by providing four runs of support in that span.

Gallardo gave up four runs in four innings of a 5-4 loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday. Opponents are hitting .284 against him, well above his career mark of .244.

"It's definitely frustrating. I don't know how to explain it, really,' the right-hander said. ``It's just one of those weird days. You go out there and have pretty good command of all of your pitches but obviously the results aren't there.'

If there's a silver lining for Gallardo entering Friday, it's his domination of the Phillies. He's gone 3-0 with a 1.74 ERA in as many starts, striking out 28 in 20 2-3 innings, though this will be his first appearance in Philadelphia.

Ryan Howard has had some success versus Gallardo, going 3 for 8 with a home run and a double.

Milwaukee has dropped a season-worst six in a row after Thursday's 8-6 defeat at Minnesota in which it allowed four home runs. The Brewers, who have allowed 14 homers during their skid, have dropped three in a row on the road and 13 of their last 16 away from Miller Park.

Preview: Reds (33-21) at Pirates (34-20)
Game: 1
Venue: PNC Park
Date: May 31, 2013 7:05 PM EDT


Outstanding pitching has spurred the Pittsburgh Pirates to one of the best records in the NL.

Despite some recent struggles, the Cincinnati Reds aren't far behind.

Wandy Rodriguez is slated to get the ball in an attempt to help the Pirates conclude May with their longest home winning streak in over five years Friday night against the Reds.

Pittsburgh (34-20) has won 16 of its last 20 thanks in large part to a 2.21 ERA from the staff - 1.96 while going 10-2 at home. That success has put the Pirates in second place in the NL Central, one game ahead of Cincinnati as both teams chase first-place St. Louis.

Pittsburgh is on a six-game home winning streak, during which its pitchers have compiled a 1.45 ERA. The Pirates haven't put together a longer run at home since winning seven straight from April 27-May 12, 2008.

Matching that feat would mean beating Cincinnati (33-21) at PNC Park again after sweeping a three-game set from April 12-14.

Pittsburgh got another dazzling effort Thursday, when six pitchers combined to scatter nine hits in a 1-0, 11-inning victory over Detroit - its second such win over the Tigers in three games.

"It goes back to the staples of pitching we've been talking about since the start of spring training," manager Clint Hurdle said. "Have intent with every pitch and have conviction with every pitch and execution will follow."

That seems to be the case for Rodriguez (6-2, 3.58 ERA), who is looking to win a career-high five straight starts in the opener of this three-game series.

The left-hander has won four games in a row with a 3.00 ERA, but his latest outing was his shortest of that stretch.

Rodriguez allowed three runs and seven hits in five innings of a 5-4 win at Milwaukee on Sunday.

A return home could be just what Rodriguez needs to keep his winning streak going since he's compiled a 1.93 ERA while winning four of five home starts. However, he's 0-2 with a 5.28 ERA over his last five outings versus Cincinnati.

Rodriguez has also struggled versus Joey Votto, who is hitting .373 against him after going 6 for 11 with two doubles and a homer last year.

The Reds' slugging first baseman is a career .357 hitter at Pittsburgh, and he's batting .414 with six homers, 25 runs and 14 RBIs on the road this season. However, he went 1 for 8 while Cincinnati dropped back-to-back games to Cleveland, including 7-1 on Thursday.

The Reds are expected to turn to Johnny Cueto (2-0, 2.76), who returns to Pittsburgh for the first time since getting hurt in a 3-1 loss April 13.

The right-hander allowed one run and two hits before exiting in the fifth inning due to a strained right triceps, which sidelined him for five weeks.

Cueto earned a 4-3 win over the New York Mets in his return to the mound May 20, yielding three runs and three hits with eight strikeouts and four walks in five innings. He was even better six days later, allowing one run in seven innings while not getting a decision in a 5-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs.

"Outstanding stuff," manager Dusty Baker told the team's official website. "That's Johnny. He was throwing like he wasn't afraid of hurting anything. He was a little tentative his last time out, but he was a lot sharper and more aggressive than he was in New York."

Cueto is 12-4 with a 2.52 ERA in 20 career starts against the Pirates, going 7-2 with a 2.09 ERA in 12 games at Pittsburgh.

Preview: Mets (22-29) at Marlins (13-41)
Game: 1
Venue: Marlins Park
Date: May 31, 2013 7:10 PM EDT


A surprising five-game winning streak has changed the mood of the New York Mets.

The last-place Miami Marlins certainly aren't enjoying themselves.

The Mets go for their longest winning streak in more than two years as they attempt to deal the Marlins a 10th straight defeat Friday night.

New York (22-29) is on the verge of its first six-game win streak since April 21-27, 2011, and the current surge has been wholly unexpected following a 3-12 stretch in which the Mets posted a 5.39 ERA.

"I tried everything that I knew to try and it wasn't working: the pats on the back, the 'hang with them,'" manager Terry Collins said. "So you just had to say, 'Hey look, it's got to be now. It's got to be stepped up right this minute,' and they did it."

The Mets did it in stunning fashion, compiling a 1.80 ERA during the winning streak and holding the Yankees to seven runs while sweeping the four-game Subway Series, capping it with a 3-1 victory Thursday.

"It's a lot more fun to come to the ballpark. Guys are smiling, laughing, having a good time, playing a little more loosely," third baseman David Wright said. "When you go out there and you feel like you have to play perfect to win games, that's when you get a little tense and start making some silly mistakes."

Wright went 5 for 14 over the past four games, and might have a good chance to continue that hot hitting in this three-game set. He's a .356 hitter at Miami in his last 12 contests there.

The Marlins (13-41) have batted .209 while losing nine in a row, falling 5-2 to Tampa Bay on Thursday. They haven't endured a longer slide since dropping 11 straight from June 11-20, 2011.

Shaun Marcum (0-5, 5.77 ERA) will try to take advantage as he looks to avoid becoming the first Met to start a season with six straight losses since Mike Pelfrey was 0-7 in 2007.

Marcum seemed headed for that elusive victory Sunday. The right-hander tossed six scoreless innings and struck out a career-high 12, but left after giving up two runs in the seventh in a 4-2 win over Atlanta.

Marcum has gone 0-1 while allowing six runs in 7 1-3 innings over two games versus the Marlins - both in Miami. He was charged with a 4-3, 15-inning loss to them April 29, giving up two runs in the final inning.

Jacob Turner is set to make his season debut for the Marlins after going 3-4 with a 4.47 ERA in 10 starts for Triple-A New Orleans.

The right-hander was 1-4 with a 3.38 ERA in seven starts for Miami last year after being acquired in a five-player trade with Detroit in July.

"Obviously, he was a guy in spring training that we anticipated being in the rotation, and it didn't work out," manager Mike Redmond told the team's official website. "So we're looking for him to come up and be a spark and take advantage of this opportunity. Hopefully, he's pounding the strike zone, and he'll go out there and log some innings for us and give us a chance to win."

Turner pitched 7 2-3 innings of one-run ball in a 4-3 victory over the Mets on Oct. 2, though he didn't get the decision. He has a 2.84 ERA in two career starts versus New York.
