OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a free MLB Tuesday is on the NY Yankees (+155) to Oakland.

Certainly Brett Anderson is better than Freddy Garcia and the Yankees at times are not great but if I don’t have to lay money with what is still the definite better team then I’m all for it.

I really do like the lefty in Anderson. This kid has really good stuff and combined with Trevor Cahill are leading one of the better young pitching rotations in the game today. I don’t see the southpaw embarassing himself by any means but to get Arod, Tex, Cano, Swisher, Jeter and the Bombers, even across the country, is the right side. Garcia is old and a guy that I will fade in the right spot, mainly when he is laying a ton, but this is a solid spot to back the righthander in.

Joe Girardi’s club has had issues at times and they are not on the same level as the Red Sox this season. But the Yanks also are still one of the best teams in the game with a lineup that is way more high powered than the extremely mediocre Athletics. The Pinstripers were able to hit Felix Hernandez last week and just yesterday did some damage against Cahill and his one point whatever era.

This may not be a blowout as Anderson is tough but Garcia has been a lot better than expected and at this price I’ll take my chances on the New Yorkers.

Top expert pick on this game:  Matt Rivers says I’ve now cashed that ticket in 14 of the last 21 days and 54 of the last 86 for a grand total profit of 7.4 million*. The 400,000* on the small underdog Rangers were leading by a touchdown in the third inning. That’s how it’s done and that’s how I usually do it!

Two more winners today including another monster 400,000* on the diamond involving the Padres and Braves plus a high quality 300,000* on the NBA hardwoods as I give you the side between the Mavericks and Heat. Click now to purchase

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a Memorial Day Monday winner and it is on the Cleveland Indians (+105) Toronto.

Reasoning: Jo Jo Reyes hasn’t won in a bazillion starts. Literally almost 30, and to get the team with the best record in the American League in the Indians at around a pick today is fine with me. Certainly I never love the dreaded road chalk role and do realize that Cleveland has not played as well over the past few days but for the most part Fausto Carmona has bounced back nicely this season and is far superior to the former Brave Reyes.

I don’t mind John Farrell’s Blue Jays as Jose Bautista has been crushing the ball and guys like Hill and Lind and Escobar and the suddenly surging Corey Patterson are not bad at all. The problem today is that Reyes has been that bad and he is up against an offense that just continues to perform game in and game out. With Grady Sizemore back to go with Choo, Santana and Cabrera the Tribe are a team that may legitimately be a ton better than anybody believed they would be and that is with this recent mini slide where they have dropped four of the last five games.

I never thought nor do I currently believe that the Indians are a true World Series threat. But these guys are every bit as good as the Jays and probably better as the records indicate and to get the quality sinker baller in Carmona against Reyes is a semi must play.

Top expert pick on this game: Cleveland Indians

The Mavericks vs. Heat series odds as well as more specific proposition bets are up for the NBA Finals. The offshore sportsbooks have Miami -172 to win it all.  Of course OffshoreInsiders.com will have all the sports service picks, but here are Vegas odds series prices for the NBA Finals.

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has Sunday free pick and it is actually a pair of plays and they’re both on the Boston Red Sox at Comerica Park versus Detroit.

Reasoning: Here’s how I look at this and it is a bit unconventional but I’m going to say it anyway. The Tigers aren’t very good at all and when compared to the red hot Red Sox there truly is no comparison. After the rainout yesterday these clubs are expected to play a pair today and that can only mean one of two things, a split or a Red Sox sweep. To think that Jim Leyland’s team can take both games against the surging Sox seems way too far-fetched leading me to believe that backing Boston in both games has a far higher ceiling than a lower floor.

Justin Verlander is awesome and a guy who can be as good as they come. But Josh Beckett is on that level as well and the Boston right-hander has been as good as ever thus far this season. Then in the other game we are getting a guy in Clay Buchholz who has really been coming into his own this season proving how he really does have some great stuff and that the no-hitter a few years back wasn’t a fluke.

As for the bats the Sox if they don’t have the best lineup in the game they certainly have the hottest. Adding guys like Crawford and Gonzalez to an already hard hitting group with Pedroia, Ortiz, Ellsbury and a few others was the cherry on top and after the rough first few weeks we have really seen Terry Francona’s squad start to bash away and bury teams by a billion.

If this doubleheader turns out to be a split and we potentially lose a small amount of juice then so be it as it’s far from the end of the world. But the upside of the probable sweep with the surging Sox well supersedes the split and therefore I’m all about Beckett, Buchholz and the far greater and more potent hitters from Beantown.

Top expert pick on this game: Boston Red Sox in both Game 1 and Game 2.

For more information: A perfect 2-0 sweep of the board on Saturday from Matt Rivers and both winners were monster underdogs that took back a whole heck of a lot. The 300,000* Indians plus 165 and the 300,000* Twins plus 150 turned the trick with relative ease. It would have been a 3-0 day if the game from Detroit wasn’t rained out. I’ve now cashed that ticket in 13 of the last 19 days and 53 of the last 84 and the profit has now increased another full one million stars yesterday to 7.9 million stars now on this amazing run.

More winning today and I will do so yet again with a ton of conviction. 400,000* Angels-Twins plus a bonus 200,000* Phillies-Mets will lead me to the Promised Land yet again! Do you doubt me? If so maybe re-read those numbers above. Click now to purchase

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers Saturday is on the NY Yankees (+120) Seattle.

Reasoning: Felix Hernandez is the reigning Cy Young award winner and a guy who can be lights out a lot of the time. Certainly King Felix is better than Ivan Nova and the Mariners have been playing better ball than most thought they were capable of unlike the Yankees who continue to be very mediocre for the Yankees. But all in all the New Yorkers are the far superior lineup and I don’t mind Nova as the guy is pretty good. He is not Felix Hernandez good but against the punch and judy Mariners I can see Nova match the Cat goose egg for goose egg.

Arod, Teixeira, Cano, Swisher, Jeter and the rest of the Pinstripers plus money is never a bad play. These guys are powerful and potentially great in any situation so to get some coin back against Ichiro and the well inferior Mariners is a total must play in the end, even if they have a superstar on the bump.

Hernandez hardly ever allows more than a few runs in any start and he may be very good once again here but it’s still the 90 plus win Yankees with a decent enough pitcher against a Seattle team that is a 70-75 win club. Therefore Felix Hernandez or no Felix Hernandez I’ll back the far better visitors at this price and take my chances.

Top expert pick on this game: NY Yankees

For more information: Yup, that’s right. I nailed a 500,000* bomb on the Red Sox last night to begin the weekend and watched Tim Wakefield and the boys from Beantown come through in flying colors. I’ve now cashed that ticket in 12 of the last 18 days and 52 of the last 83 for a profit of a cool 6.9 million stars. There is no better nor more consistent handicapper known to man and nothing at all changes today.

900,000* baseball 3Pack as I release a trio of 300,000* fire hot locks. Angels-Twins, Indians-Rays and Red Sox-Tigers. Think I’m going 3-0? You better because that’s a fact! Click now to purchase

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a winning free pick Wednesday is on the Tampa Bay Rays (+120) to Detroit.

Reasoning: I’ll take Tampa Bay in this spot plus anything as I just do not respect Jim Leyland’s Tigers, no how no way. Detroit did come back to win last night but I’m just not really buying into them.

Brad Penny was really good for a little while but the right-hander came back down to Earth in that beatdown in Pittsburgh last time out and I can see him continue to plummet a bit today and continue on a downward trend. I don’t love the Rays offense at all as it’s Evan Longoria and a lot of mediocrity but the Tigers are just overall very mediocre themselves if not for Miggy and they start a guy that in my opinion is ready to go through a lean period.

Andy Sonnanstine has sort of been the forgotten man in Tampa as he was a key cog in the World Series season a few years back. After that Sonnanstine has been pretty much relegated to the bullpen. Well now he’s back and if he pitches well may stay in the rotation. I’m not calling the guy an elite hurler or anything like that but he is alright and overall Joe Maddon’s club is better and more well balanced than Detroit, I don’t care about last night or the similar records.

The bottom line is that this is at worst a 50-50 game, even in Comerica, and to get anything back with the Rays is the right side, period.

Top expert pick on this game: It’s now 11 of 15 winning days and 51 of the last 80 for a profit of 7.5 million*. No doubt I got lucky on the Heat but let’s not forget how I had the late lead blown and was very unlucky with the big dog Tampa Bay Rays. So all in all just another deserving winning day as I continue to smack around that crookie.

Raising that bar with a 400,000* from Big D between the Thunder and Mavericks plus a 200,000* on the diamond involving the Mets and Cubs. More monster winning! Click now to purchase

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a baseball pick Tuesday on the Toronto Blue Jays (+159) to the NY Yankees.

Reasoning: CC Sabathia certainly can be lights out but Ricky Romero is no slouch and the Jays have a guy in Jose Bautista who is beyond great right now. Bautista obviously had the insane season last year bombing away and thinking he would repeat that was fairly silly. But as of right now there’s no reason, barring injury, to think otherwise. The guy is a superstar and a righty bat that can get to Sabathia as can Escobar, Hill and a few other quality enough Toronto hitters.

The Yankees are still the superior team with the better pitcher going today and obviously can win this game. Arod, Teixeira, Cano, Swisher and the Bombers have a huge upside despite the mediocre last month or so and will go farther than the Jays after 162 regular season games. But Toronto has been very solid, led by Bautista, and after flexing their muscles last night I’m just fine with grabbing this quality takeback with a very good pitcher in Romero and a potentially potent offense.

Top expert pick on this game: Toronto

For more information: That’s right, a perfect 2-0 sweep on Monday including the 500,000* bomb on the Cardinals plus a 200,000* on the Mavericks outright. Wow what a sick, sick comeback that was, insane! It’s now 10 of 14 winning days and 50 of the last 79 for a profit of 7.4 million*. Just try and let those numbers sink in and realize there is just no better handicapper on this planet, period.

Two more winners today and north of 500,000* of profit as I go over the 8 million mark. 300,000* Bulls-Heat plus a 200,000* baseball dog that will take care of business as usual. Feeling great and burying that Crookie one more time! Click now to purchase
