Top expert picks on today's card…
It's from Matt Rivers sports picks. This is a first ever and an absolutely bomb dropping day for me. I have not seen a slate like this in a long long time and am firing away with first five inning plays along with the full games themselves. If you play on-line much more than likely you can get first five action and avoid benches and bullpens and that's what I plan on doing today in a pair of games.
A monstrous FIVE winners today including a pair of 400,000* first five inning plays and three full 200,000* games. Just a sick sick day as I absolutely obliterate that Crookie one more time! Click now to purchase Matt Rivers picks.
