Matt Rivers, who was the winningest handicapper ever—nobody came close—on a large network of sites. Today he says I absolutely went off yesterday in my 4-0 sweep.

Add in a 300,000* on the Bengals outright along with a 200,000* on the Dolphins outright and the 100,000* on the Braves and the 4-0 day was sweet as sugar.
Am I going to rest on those laurels? Heck no!

The American League schedule offers up six games on Monday, with Kansas City at Detroit, Baltimore at Boston, Cleveland at Minnesota, the White Sox at Oakland, Texas at the Angels, and Tampa Bay at the Yankees. The Rays’ Matt Garza (14-8, 3.88 ERA) is expected to take on the Yankees’ Ivan Nova (1-0, 4.30 ERA) in that last contest. Righthander Garza was knocked around by New York in his last trip to the mound, surrendering six runs on nine hits over just 4 2-3 innings of work in a no-decision. Righthander Nova was Garza’s opposition in that contest, and he also picked up a no-decision after allowing six runs on six hits over 4 2-3 innings. Nova struck out two hitters.

Righthander Jurrjens is coming off a loss to the Nationals in which he gave up four runs on nine hits over just five innings of work.
