OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers Sunday is on the Chicago Cubs (+145) to Arizona.
Reasoning: When investing on baseball it’s not always about thinking you have the lock of all locks and will win all the time. To get a value is the name of the game and this is a value as the Diamondbacks are a 75-win team max and not worthy of laying a decent price like this. One doesn’t even need to go .500 on the diamond in order to make a lot of profit and that is the case here. This one play may lose but if this game played out 1,000 times taking the price back would be a definite winner as Arizona would find a way, as they do a lot of the time, to fail in the end. Certainly the Cubs would wet the bed their share of times as well but they’re not the big-time pup that would need to win the majority of the time.
Is Casey Coleman good? No he’s really not and I do admit that Daniel Hudson has a fairly high ceiling as we saw last season making him superior to Coleman. But this current version of the Diamondbacks is just not good and certainly not worthy of laying a chunk of change. I like Young and Upton but like I already said, Arizona is a 75 or so win team and even if the Cubs are going to once again fail to win the World Series they still have enough to win in the desert.
I don’t love Mike Quade’s squad and will fade them every chance I get when they are laying too much. But in this underdog spot to get Soriano, Ramirez, Fukudome and the at least somewhat capable Cubbies plus this much is a semi must play.
Top expert pick on this game: Chicago Cubs from Matt Rivers
For more information: A winning Saturday as the 400,000* on the Indians came through in extras. Things have been great for awhile and no mini skid will ever keep me down. I’m ready to rock and roll once again today and close out yet another winning weekend and improve upon the gaudy numbers you see above.
400,000* Boston-Miami along with a 200,000* on the diamond involving the Blue Jays and Yankees. I’m about to continue burying that Crookie. Are you? Click now to purchase
