Like an atomic clock, Matt Rivers is restoring honor to the handicapping profession. He has comp winner for Saturday is on the Yankees laying 134 at the Chicago White Sox.

John Danks is a quality lefty and Arod is not in the New York lineup but I’ll take my chances even on the dreaded road chalk today at US Cellular.

CC Sabathia is one of the best pitchers on this planet and to get Joe Girardi’s club after the awful effort last night is worth laying a little bit here. Sabathia continues to win game after game and Jeter, Tex, Cano and the Pinstripers should be just fine even if they have not looked very good over the past week. Things were rough up North in Toronto and game one in Chicago yesterday was a failure. But the Yankees are still one of the best teams in the league and Sabathia is an absolute beast so to think this recent semi skid will continue is unlikely.

Ozzie’s boys are appearing to come back around after a rough month plus where they went from four games up to about five games back of the Twins. They do boast talent with Konerko, Quentin, Ramirez and a few others but they are not the Yankees and after getting blitzed yesterday should be focused and ready to get some revenge.

The pick: NY Yankees -134.

For more information: It’s not Yom Kippur today but it certainly feels like it. I dropped the ball big-time on Friday in a rare poor poor day. The Dolphins showed less than nothing and therefore the Falcons shoved it up my butt in a major release. I have nobody at all to blame but myself as there are no excuses whatsoever.

I am the best handicapper on the planet and just have to prove that today. Two plays including a 300,000* first half winner between the Cardinals and Bears along with a 200,000* winner between the Cubs and Reds. I get right back on that horse today, that you can bet on. Click now to purchase

What a card for sports bettors it is.  The Dolphins-Falcons, Chargers-Saints, Eagles-Chiefs, Redskins-Jets picks info and previews are in the articles section.

Top expert picks on today’s card…

It comes from Matt Rivers. It may be the preseason and I do admit that this time of the year can be a joke at times. But there are also games that can be isolated and conquered in a monster way and that is what we have here today.

Three Friday plays and one absolute insane highest rated BOMB, B-O-M-B BOMB! A 500,000* between Atlanta and Miami plus a 200,000* Washington-St. Louis and a 100,000* Tampa Bay and Boston. No holds barred today, none! Matt Rivers historic pick is up now

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

The American League schedule for Friday has Kansas City at Cleveland, Boston at Tampa Bay, Detroit at Toronto, the Yankees at the White Sox, Baltimore at the Angels, Minnesota at Seattle, and Oakland at Texas. Brett Anderson (3-4 SU, 2.86 ERA) will take on Tommy Hunter (10-2, 3.68 ERA) in that last contest. Lefthander Anderson had to settle for a no-decision against the Rays last time out, surrendering just two runs on eight hits over his seven innings of work. Righthander Hunter got back into the win column against the Orioles in his last outing, allowing three runs over his eight innings.

Over in the National League on Friday it’ll be St. Louis at Washington, Houston at the Mets, the Cubs at Cincinnati, Florida at Atlanta, the Dodgers at Colorado, Arizona at San Francisco, and Philadelphia at San Diego. The Phillies will give the ball to Roy Oswalt (9-13, 3.22 ERA) on Friday, while the Padres counter with Mat Latos (13-5, 2.33 ERA).

Finally, there’s one game on the WNBA’s playoff schedule for Friday, with Washington at Atlanta. The Dream won Game 1 of the series 95-90 on the road on Wednesday night as a 5-point underdog. Angel McCoughtry led the way with 28 points for Atlanta in that win, while Coco Miller was good for 21 points. Marissa Coleman scored a team-high 18 points off the bench for Washington, and Crystal Langhorne tossed in 16 points.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs Las Vegas betting odds are up for NFL picks and predictions.

The bookmaker’s point spread is Philadelphia -2.5 with a total of 39. The Eagles re 1-1, while Kansas City is 0-2 straight up in preseason play. Each of the Chiefs first two games were on the road.

Matt Cassel and the first team offense will play into the second half for KC and his Sunshine Band. The fact that the Eagles starters will play longer is good news for Eagles bettors as backups Mike Vick and Mike Kafka combined for four interceptions last week.

Philadelphia will get back RB Mike Bell and G Todd Herremans.

NFL power ratings say that this game is a pick ‘em giving the Chiefs a nice edge.

Top expert pick on this game: True Monday was by the slimmest margin, but led by Green Bay, our only NFL play, GodsTips makes it winning days all four this week. Friday get two more NFL Wise Guys. You’ve been waiting. They are so good over the decades because we don’t force them. Get three NFL winners in all.

Four MLB have been added including a Dandy Dog Wise Guy. In fact, tonight is a great night for Dandy Dogs (hint). Dandy Dogs are underdogs of 140 or more (this includes runline plays in which we get back 140 or more). Another great NFL card is up now
