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

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has free pick for Monday and it is on the Cincinnati Reds (+156) to Philadelphia.

Reasoning: Certainly Cincinnati had a rough last series at Cleveland against the surging Indians and to be honest with you the Reds aren’t all that good right now. But with that said I am going to continue to fade the Phillies as Charlie Manual’s offense is the worst in baseball at this time. Yes I said it, the worst in baseball. Without Shane Victorino the Fightin’ Phils have absolutely no fight, none as in zero, nyet, nil. This team is hard pressed to get a hit no less score a run. Ryan Howard, Jimmy Rollins, Raul Ibanez, Placido Polanco and the rest of Charlie Manual’s club is in a collective offensive tailspin and that’s being ultra kind.

The Phils were shut out yesterday and have now averaged about a run and a half in the last 9 games, literally. Sure Cole Hamels can be total money and well superior to Bronson Arroyo but the way the Phils have performed with the lumber I will continue to be more than fine with going against them at an exorbitant price like this.

Joey Votto and the Reds are mediocre at best right now and not very trustworthy. But the bottom line is to get such a handsome price back against a team struggling the way Philadelphia is makes me alright with this dog. If Hamels is great, which he could be, and the Phils once again prevail in the neighborhood of 1-0 or 2-1 then so be it. But I don’t see them all of a sudden doing a 180 and busting out with the sticks so in the end I’m just fine backing the defending NL Central champs and fading the offensively challenged NL East champs.

Top expert pick on this game: Yup, the title above says it all. I have isolated and will back a rare cheaper than cheap baseball chalk that will win going away. The price is at least 40-50 cents off and I’m going to expose this with conviction in the highest play that I possess, a 500,000* B-O-M-B Bomb!

Matt has had nine-of-13 winning days and 49 of the last 78 for a profit of plus 6.7 million* after the rare poor Sunday. Two plays today, 500,000* Cheap Chalk Game of the Year plus a bonus 200,000* on the hardwoods between the Mavericks and Thunder. Click now to purchase

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has another winner to beat the sportsbooks Sunday is on the Texas Rangers (+133) to Philadelphia.

No doubt the Phillies pitching staff shoved it up my butt in the first two games of this series shutting down Ron Washington’s bats but once again this current Philadelphia Phillies offense is fairly non-existent and I can’t help but grab a solid price back today in fading them.

Roy Oswalt is certainly a borderline great pitcher and better than Matt Harrison but the Texas lefthander has been very good for the bulk of this season and should be at least that tonight against the beyond scuffling Phillies. Ryan Howard did go deep yesterday but he is still not the Ryan Howard we have known in years’ past and the rest of the offense is extremely mediocre right now, and that is being kind,  without Chase Utley and Shane Victorino. In fact in the past eight full games they have not been able to eclipse the three run mark once and have averaged less than two runs per game. Certainly with their pitching staff that could be enough and has been enough in the first two games of this series but come on. No team can consistently win with that lack of offense and it’s going to get them at some point and today could be that point.

Texas is certainly not overachieving right now at 23-23 as Josh Hamilton has been a major loss but there are still potent bats in the lineup with Young, Kinsler and Beltre and in the end I’ll go back to this well, even if it has been a tad dry of late.

Look for Harrison to be just fine against Charlie Manual’s poor offense and for the Rangers to avoid the broom and get out of the city of Brotherly Love on a winning note.

Top expert pick on this game: Texas from Matt Rivers

For more information: A quality Sunday and some more jack in my pocket that is what I can promise. Two winners today including one on the hardwood and one on the diamond. Just look above at the numbers, I may not win every single day but I certainly win most days making me love my chances once again today.

300,000* Bulls-Heat along with a 200,000* Twins-Diamondbacks. Are you ready? Because I know I am. Get Rivers best bets
