OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers Thursday is on the Boston Red Sox (-1.5, -110) to the Cleveland Indians.
Reasoning: There is no debate that Terry Francona’s Sox have been terrible thus far in the 2011 season but settle down because Boston is still a great team and Jon Lester is still a great pitcher.
The boys from Beantown do not have a victory, which is very hard to believe, but they also haven’t played at Fenway Park yet and are going to be just fine. Their southpaw is a stud who beat Cancer and has shined when the lights are brightest and is the perfect guy to get things going up against a well inferior Cleveland team. I’ll give the Tribe credit for looking like the superior team so far in this series but that is not close to being the case and to get the road Sox with all 9 at bats and lay around 110 by giving up an extra run is fine with me in this spot. Boston is extremely due to bust out and not only win but do so going away something like 11-2.
Fausto Carmona and his sinker had one great season about four years ago but injuries and regression have killed him ever since and right now this guy is not even average. He is going to get smacked around here by Gonzalez, Crawford, Pedroia, Ellsbury, Ortiz and others and the Sox are no longer going to be winless.
I can see one of those vintage Lester complete game gems tonight after not looking great in his first start. Cleveland has potential with Choo, Santana and Hafner but in reality they are still only about a 75 win team at best and the more complete and sound team is going to get in the win column today.
Top expert pick on this game: Boston Red Sox on the runline.
For more information: Yet another monster 2-1 winning Wednesday as the 500,000* on the Clippers covers easily in the end to go along with the 200,000* on the Angels, 5-1. It’s almost becoming silly and to be honest with you a little unfair to that Crookie. Actually, scratch that about it being unfair. Screw him. Think about what I am in the midst of, 25 winning days compared to seven losing days, yes seven, and the net profit is north of 8 million* when the biggest play I release and that is rare is only 500,000*.
Just more of the same today but due note that both of my baseball games go pretty early in the afternoon so get them ASAP. 400,000* White Sox-Rays and 300,000* A’s-Blue Jays. I am the best and will be just that one more time! Click now to purchase
