OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper and baseball betting expert Matt Rivers has a pick on the Pittsburgh Pirates (+138) against St. Louis.
Hey, why not? Don’t mess with the scrappy little Bucos as they truly should have just swept the series at Wrigley from the Cubs as the visitors completely dominated that thing and aren’t as dreadful as some may think.
Don’t get me wrong, Pittsburgh is still a bad major league team that shouldn’t win many more than 70 games but they do have some potential with Jones, McCutchen and a few others and Charlie Morton is a former Brave who every now and then shows a quality upside. McCutchen did sit out yesterday’s game with neck spasms but I hope and do think he should be all right today.
In the last spring start Morton shut down the Phillies at Citizens Bank and despite his terrible numbers a season ago isn’t all that bad. Is he better than Kyle Lohse? To be honest with you he quite possibly is and the way things are going with the Cardinals I have no qualms at all about taking back a price like this against them.
Tony LaRussa’s team is in trouble, they really are. Losing Adam Wainwright was disastrous, then the way they fell in the opening game to the Padres thanks in part to that two out tying home run in the 9th inning was horrendous and then the injury a few hours later to Matt Holliday was brutal and maybe more of a sign to come with this team. The Redbirds did finally win that game yesterday to get in the win column but there isn’t much besides Albert in the St. Louis lineup and I sure as heck do not trust Lohse and especially not when laying this price.
The St. Louis right-hander is interesting. When he is on he can be on for a few months and look like a borderline All-Star. But when the guy is off which we saw last season through the injuries he is extremely hittable and not good at all.
Pittsburgh without a doubt can win this game and to get such a pretty penny back from what may be a bad Cardinal team cannot be fully passed up.
Top expert pick on this game: Pittsburgh from Matt Rivers
For more information: It’s flat out the single greatest run in the history of sports gambling and overall has become like stealing, truly! The 400,000* Wizards plus 9 won outright by 6 in a game they led by as many as 19 and the 300,000* Orioles plus 145 won going away 5-1 in an easy four hitter from a kid making his major league debut. That’s another 800,000* plus of profit as I continue to prove over and over and over again that I am the best there is in this industry.
Get another 400,000* winner today in the championship game between Butler and UConn. I am literally 7-2 on or against the Bulldogs and Huskies in the Big Dance and am going to finish it off in style today improving to 8-2. If anybody on this planet doubts me then they are and will be the fool! Rivers card is at OffshoreInsiders.com
