Handicappers Picks

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers Friday is on the Texas Rangers (-1.5 +130) to NY Mets.

Reasoning: It's not like me to eat chalk like this so I will lay that extra run with the far superior team and take my chances. Mike Pelfrey at times can be very good but if you want to see a cheap price that is the Rangers here.

Matt Harrison has been really good this season and I mean really good. The lefthander has also now pitched at Arlington a bunch and is used to this hitter's paradise unlike Pelfrey who certainly is in for it a little bit more here in this park than at spacious Citi Field. The New York righthander has been a fairly feast or famine type guy throughout his career and I can see the latter rear its head today in this spot.

Jose Reyes is a star and the Mets have been alright this season but David Wright and Ike Davis are still banged up and all in all the New Yorkers really shouldn't be able to bang away and match the runs production of guys like Hamilton, Young, Kinsler, Cruz and Beltre. Texas always has the potential to put up a crooked number and I just don't see the extremely mediocre Mets doing enough against Harrison in order to keep pace

Laying that run and a half with a home team is definitely scary, I readily admit that and don't do it all that often, but at home I am all about a very good hurler in Harrison and the much better Rangers.

Top expert pick on this game: A very sound win from Matt Rivers on the 300,000* Cardinals in yesterday's lone play. I am now up 5.7 million* over the past 3 ½ months and will increase that number today with a pair of winners as I raise that bar and smack around the Crookie. 400,000* Monster Value Dog of the Year plus a 200,000* winner from US Cellular between the Nationals and White Sox. I absolutely love this dog and will sweep the board yet again! Click now to purchase

Free Plays: Underdog Wins in Baseball Today Picks

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a comp pick Thursday is on the Minnesota Twins (+154) to San Francisco.

Reasoning: There is no doubt in my mind that Tim Lincecum is more than due to be lights out in one of these starts as the former Cy Young award winner is too good to be as bad as he has been at times. With that said though it's not like this Giant offense without Buster Posey is exactly the 1917 Yankees. Lincecum may be really good and get little support in a tight low scoring defeat. Bruce Bochy's club has started to struggle a lot of late and unless their pitching is phenomenal they are going to be in trouble pretty much every night out.

Ron Gardenhire's Twins have played great now for about a month. The first few months to the season were horrific as this team somehow lost almost every single game. But I said then and I will continue to say how the Twinkies are a playoff type team that didn't just all of a sudden lose it overnight. Morneau and Mauer have been injured but one has pretty much been in the mix throughout and guys like Young, Span, Cuddyer and Casilla have helped this organization get to the playoffs a bunch recently.

Things aren't going to come easy today as I do think Lincecum looks better tonight but Brian Duensing is a solid enough lefthander who should be just fine against the punch and judy Giants and in the end to get a quality takeback like this is definitely with a shot.

For more information: Nothing too crazy today but I will put a dent in the man's face and get fully back on track today. 300,000* Phillies-Cardinals. Chris Carpenter is 1-7, is that an aberration or is there a reason for it as he drops to 1-8 without Albert? I know, do you? Click now to purchase

MLB Betting Picks

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a free winner and it is on the Minnesota Twins (+138) to San Francisco.

Reasoning: This isn't an easy game traveling across the country and playing under National League rules but Carl Pavano has been in this league for years and with the way Minnesota has picked things of late up I'll take a stab on the surging Ron Gardenhire's. Plus Gardy and the Twins are as National League as an American League team could ever be so things shouldn't be all that foreign here.

The defending World Series champion Giants are in first place and are a team that is dangerous thanks once again to their phenomenal pitching. Madison Bumgarner proved last season that he is a young and talented lefthander who can get the job done. The southpaw has been very good once again as the low 3's era proves but the Giants' offense is not good without Buster Posey and therefore the kid is an unbelievable 3-8 despite being great at times.

Bruce Bochy's club just doesn't hit the ball that much. Even with their great catcher healthy they are somewhat offensively challenged and now without such a key cog are lacking in a big-time way. Therefore to trust this team when laying some money doesn't feel right.

The Twins had the horrific first few months to the season. I'm still not sure how this franchise lost as much as it did in that time but the last month has been much improved and right now with Joe Mauer back to go along with Young, Cuddyer, Span and a few others the Twins are once again a quality enough club.

Pavano has been a lights out innings eating beast of late and against such a weak lineup should be just that one more time. I'm sure the pitching will be ahead of the hitting in this thing and it'll come down to that one swing of the bat or one bounce of the ball.

3-1 Twins in the end!

For more information: Yup, that's right. Normally I like to back those undervalued pups but today I have spotted and isolated a chalk that is of tremendous value and something that cannot be passed up on that run-line, just cannot. One play is all you need as I continue beating up on the man. One 400,000* run-line Game of the Year resulting in a five run burial, bang! Click now to purchase
