OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers free Friday pick is on the Chicago White Sox (+160) to Seattle.

Reasoning: Ozzie Guillen’s Sox certainly have been awful for a while now but Felix Hernandez or no Felix Hernandez this Seattle Mariner squad just can’t be laying such a big price. King Felix has as much of an upside as anybody and I certainly love upside but the Seattle lineup is weak and all in all the M’s are just a bad baseball team that can lose anytime they take the field.

I definitely can’t say the White Sox are any better than bad because that is what they have been for a while now. With that said though “the good guys” still have powerful hitters in Konerko, Dunn, Beckham and a few others and are going to start to play better ball at some point in the near future. They have to as they are a lot better than what they have shown and a lot better than today’s opponent.

Phil Humber has shown some glimpses this season. Just ask the Yankees about that as he almost no-hit the Bombers at the Stadium. The guy is far from Cy Young, I readily admit that, but he is at least serviceable and should hold his own against the punch and judy Mariners. Humber shouldn’t be better than him. I don’t trust Hernandez but he should be able to outclass the M’s lineup and put up his share of zeros.

I don’t trust either side in this game and in a small play I’m therefore fine with taking back a solid number like this.

Top expert pick on this game: White Sox

For more information: Another tight one run loss for Matt Rivers yesterday on the Brewers but still well ahead of the man and ready to put some more notches in my belt today. It’s funny how the luck has certainly gone against me over the past week and yet the numbers are still fairly staggering.

A pair of Friday plays, one on the diamond and one on the hardwoods, as I roll into the weekend in style. 400,000* Dodgers-Mets and a 300,000* Bulls-Hawks. Don’t just watch me win. Win with me. Get Rivers locks at OffshoreInsiders.com

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a Major League Baseball winner for Thursday is on the Houston Astros (+135) to Cincinnati.

Due note this a 12:35 EST game so if you need to get down on it do it early.

Reasoning: Homer Bailey had a ton of fanfare when he broke into the big leagues because of his stuff. But thanks to injuries and frankly underachieving the guy has not really materialized into all that much. Bailey is still young so I’m not going to write him off just yet but as of right now he is no Brett Myers and I’ll therefore back this road dog and take my chances.

When all is said and done it’s the Reds who are clearly the superior team of these two. Joey Votto is the reigning MVP and Dusty Baker’s club has a high upside. But things have not been all that great after the 4-0 start to the season and if not for the three run 9^th inning yesterday Cincinnati would in fact be under .500 going into this game. So it’s not as if everything is all hunky dory with the defending NL Central champions because that’s far from the case.

The Astros aren’t very good, I get that, but ever since leaving Philadelphia Myers has been an absolute machine and that’s with those last two starts against the Brewers being one of his weaker ones in a Houston uniform. This guy hurls quality start after quality start and is a horse right now. I expect the right-hander to more than hold his own and I’m really not all that sure what Bailey is going to be able to do in his season debut. If he can shake off the shoulder troubles and come out and dominate for five or six innings it may not even be enough against Myers and if he looks rusty than to get any money at all with the ‘Stros is a joke.

Houston is coming off of that bad loss yesterday and it’s never a bad thing to back a team in such spot as more times than not they will be focused and play well that next game. In the end I’m about Pence, Bourn and the boys from Houston to do enough for Myers in a victory.

The Atlanta Hawks are at the Chicago Bulls, while the Dallas Mavericks are at the Los Angeles Lakers. Plus there is a full slate of MLB. Two elite handicappers have picks and previews for tonight.

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a Wednesday winner and it is on the Atlanta Hawks (+9) against the Chicago Bulls.

Reasoning: I won’t say that I love this game two because frankly it seems a little easy to me and that more times than not is the kiss of death in the NBA.

If you take the names off of the jerseys from game one and ask anybody, sports fan or not, who the better team was it wouldn’t even be close. Larry Drew’s team manned up in a big-time way and flat out deserved to win that first game. Nobody has ever disputed the talent on this Atlanta team. It has been more about their Heart and killer instinct. Guys like Joe Johnson and Josh Smith just seem to fade off into oblivion at times and not play up to their All-Star capabilities. But Johnson and his 34 points showed in that last game how good he could be, Jamal Crawford has been balling and Smith along with Al Horford can play big and do some good things. These guys upset Dwight Howard and the Magic in the first series and now took game one at the United Center, a place where very few teams have been successful.

Tom Thibodeau’s team will come out and play with some anger, which you can bet on. But both Derrick Rose and Carlos Boozer are banged up, if not “injured”, and all of a sudden this 62 win Chicago team has become extremely vulnerable in the playoffs. The Pacers looked to be the superior team in a lot of the last series but couldn’t close the deal late in games. Now in game one of this series it really wasn’t even close. So all in all to get another large number like this with the far healthier squad and quite possibly all of a sudden the more confident squad makes me fine with the visitors from Atlanta.

Now the winningiest sports service off all-time GodsTips has a baseball pick and preview. It’s to go with Tampa -119 to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Reasoning: Tampa has won 7-of-9. The Rays are 26-8 against the Blue Jays at Tropicana Field.  I can’t lie, this angle has random chance contributing, but still we can’t completely ignore that Rays are 19-3 in Niemann’s last 22 starts during game 2 of a series.

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a free pick Monday is on the Chicago Bulls (-8.5) to Atlanta.

Reasoning: It’s not like me to be laying almost double digits but I really do not see the Hawks being able to stay in this game one on the road in the Windy City. Not that Kirk Hinrich is a great point guard but with that hamstring injury we are going to see a younger Jeff Teague get more minutes at the point and even though I like the former Wake Forest star I just think this is too tough of a situation to get thrown in the fire like he very well may.

Larry Drew’s team certainly manned up against Dwight Howard and the Magic in winning that series. Jamal Crawford was balling and guys like Smith, Horford and Johnson have the upside to be pretty good. It’s not like the Hawks don’t have the potential to compete in a few of these games because they do if they come to play but I’m not so sure that this spot on the highway is conducive to success.

Derrick Rose is a superstar and should be healthy after getting some time to rest. He and his Bulls thoroughly destroyed the Hawks in a few games this season and I mean destroyed. Even in the game they lost they were up big and somehow someway played one terrible fourth quarter and lost a game they dominated most of the way. Tom Thibodeau’s team seems to have something in this matchup as the lopsided regular season does tell a story.

Carlos Boozer is banged up and really hasn’t been the Carlos Boozer that we have seen for years now. But at home with Rose, Joakim Noah and others I see a final somewhere in the vicinity of 94-82 as Chicago’s defense flexes its muscles as it’s done all season long.

Top expert pick on this game: Chicago from Matt Rivers

For more information: I am rocking and rolling today and that is a fact. The past few days have been pedestrian-like but the run is still more than golden as I am the best handicapper on this planet. Just look above at the phenomenal numbers and understand that things are getting even much better today.

Four rock solid locks in all including three on the diamond led by a 500,000* first 5 inning play involving the Yankees and Tigers. Add in a 300,000* on the game itself and that is a whopping 800,000* on one baseball game alone. Do you think I’m afraid to pull that trigger? Heck no! Plus a pair of 200,000* with the Angels and Red Sox plus the Mavericks and Lakers. Four plays, four winners and another million plus stars of profit! Click now to purchase
