OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a winner Tuesday is on the NY Mets in the first five innings to Milwaukee.

Sure it’s going to be tough for the well undermanned Mets to go into Miller Park and beat the far superior Brewers with a pair of stars in Braun and Fielder plus a borderline great pitcher in Shaun Marcum but at this price I am going to take my chances with the big dog from New York in the first half of the contest.

I readily admit that Terry Collins’ team is behind the eight ball from the get go in this thing. The contrast in talent is huge and that could be enough for Milwaukee to win the game. But let’s not forget how Chris Capuano is a former Brewer and I can see the still capable southpaw be extremely focused and muster up his best performance of the season. I love when guys go up against former teams like this because you pretty much know that you are going to get their best effort. It may not seem like much but there has been an arrow on this start for Capuano for a long time and over the last five days this is probably all the lefty has been thinking about. Plus knowing the hitters and their weaknesses in its own right isn’t a bad thing.

Marcum has been an All-Star this season and the beat up Mets without David Wright, Ike Davis and maybe Jason Bay are probably not going to explode in this spot. But New York just took two out of three against the Braves and if not for the bad Jose Reyes error it would have been a perfect sweep. I’m not dumb and do realize how the Mets are half a disaster but this is a spot that is conducive to success because of Capuano going back to Milwaukee where he spent a bunch of seasons.

I don’t like the Mets bullpen as they have blown game after game after game after game after game after game, pretty much literally. That’s why I am going to avoid the full 9 innings and take my chances with a sweet takeback on Capuano and the visitors in the first five.

Top expert pick on this game: NY Mets first five innings.

For more information: I had the 200,000* Bruins who literally won by seven goals. The 300,000* home dog Angels though couldn’t muster anything in the smallest of small losing days. It’s all good though as today is a phenomenal 3-0 sweep, that I can tell you. I’m still well north of 4 million* ahead of the Crookie in the past three plus months and today have a 400,000* between the Red Sox and Yankees plus a 300,000* Twins-Cavaliers and a 200,000* Heat-Mavericks.

The Dallas Mavericks are the favorites to tie the NBA Finals 2011 series against the Miami Heat. Dallas is laying three points.

Miami’s win and cover in Game 2 not only made it 19-3 the last 22 sides for GodsTip, but also returned them to prohibitive favorites to win the series. GodsTips of OffshoreInsiders.com is 19-3 with NBA sides, 15-2 with NBA Wise Guys and 31-12 overall in the NBA.

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers  has a free pick Sunday is on the Twins.

I have been on the Twins a bunch recently and today will be just another one of those plays.

Minnesota is in the midst of one of their worst seasons in a long time and probably is going nowhere as they are just too far behind. But I’m not fully losing hope on Ron Gardenhire’s gritty and talented club because they are not as bad as their porous record, no how no way. Sure Joe Nathan, Joe Mauer and Jason Kubel are all now out which hurts but there are still pieces on this Twins’ team with Morneau, Cuddyer, Span and Young and after now winning the first three games of this series against the medicore at the very best Royals this price is just a bit silly.

I don’t mind Kansas City as guys like Butler and Gordon are high quality hitters and Francouer and Cabrera are capable but the Royals are on their usual downward trend after the good start and all in all are not the overall team of today’s opponent. The record may still favor the Royals but it won’t for much longer and in a battle of these southpaws I will grab the price.

Jeff Francis was awesome years back in Colorado and has shown glimpses this season but it’s not like he is the guy he used to be and therefore I will take my chances on the yes struggling, but still capable Brian Duensing. Things have not been great for the Twinkie lefthander but he showed a ton of upside with quality pitching earlier in the season and at this number I am just fine in taking my chances with him and the Twins, expecting a fourth straight victory.

Top expert pick on this game: Minnesota Twins

For more information: There is no bigger play that I possess than what I am releasing here from Big D. I am telling you here and now that this is the hindsight game of all hindsight games and I know exactly what is about to happen. We all know what transpired at the end of game two. Does that make the Heat a steaming mad squad that comes out with a vengeance or is Miami a little shell shocked leaving the door open for the Mavericks to take the 2-1 series lead?

500,000* Heat-Mavericks. One play, one winner, no problems. As I say above I will stake my entire reputation on this one game as that is how extremely confident I am in the outcome. 500,000* coming my way, end of story! Click now to purchase

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a Saturday comp winner for Saturday is on the Oakland A’s (+162) to Boston.

Reasoning: This is an interesting comp play because to be honest with you it is going to be hard for the visitors from Oakland to win this game. The Red Sox are a team that is clearly better than the Athletics and at home with a stud in Beckett on the hill the Sox win this game a lot more than they don’t. But with the aforementioned said Trevor Cahill is borderline great and a guy that just cannot really ever be getting such a takeback, ever, and against anybody.

The Athletic starter busted through last season proving he was a future star. Nothing at all has changed this season as Cahill has been even better. The last few outings weren’t as good as the first month plus to the season but don’t kid yourself the guy is very good and will keep the A’s in the game. He is going to have to be great in order to match Beckett and mow down guys like Adrian Gonzalez, Dustin Pedroia, Carl Crawford and others but Cahill has been great at times and at this price I can’t help but back him in some capacity.

The bottom line is that playing the A’s today is almost something that I can’t pass up on principle alone. It’s not a lock or a game that can’t lose but it is just one of those things where I am getting an All-Star pitcher and a great takeback. Win or lose I’ll take my chances with the visitors from the West Coast.

Top expert pick on this game: Oakland

For more information: I took care of business on Friday and raised the profit margin while burying the Crookie one more time led by the 400,000* on the Braves. Sure there will be a bump or two in the road every now and then but I’m the best there is and will be just that today. 55 of the last 90 days have been winning, as in 55 winning and 35 losing, which I’ll take that in any three-month span, ever.

Three more winners today including another 400,000* Phillies-Pirates along with a 300,000* on the Braves and Mets and a 200,000* on the ice involving the Bruins and Canucks. I feel great and will do it again! Want in? Click now to purchase

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a free pick Friday is on the Chicago Cubs (+160) at St. Louis.

Reasoning: Certainly I don’t love backing the underachieving Cubbies without Alfonso Soriano around but the Cardinals just lost Matt Holliday and after Jaime Garcia’s last outing why not grab a ton of coin here with the at least potential of the Cubs.

Chicago’s going nowhere this season but they are not a terrible team to back as the big dog. No doubt when they are the big chalk I will run to the window and fade the heck out of them but in this spot I’ll take my chances with Ramirez, Fukudome, Castro and others. The days where this franchise was pretty good appear to be gone but they aren’t terrible and Ryan Dempster and that sinker can be very good at times.

The first month of the season was awful for the Chicago ace but the Dumpster has settled in and has been looking very good once again. I’m not saying he is on the high level of Garcia when the southpaw is on but the lefthander was pounded in that last game and who knows if that was the beginning of a little rut. I will give any player a pass for one egg but the previous one wasn’t as good as before and quite possibly we have a bit of a downward trend developing.

All in all the Cardinals at Busch are obviously the superior team as the records clearly would attest to. But the Cubbies have enough, especially with an improving Dempster, to compete and win the game in the end.

Top expert pick on this game: Chicago Cubs

For more information: I’ve now cashed that ticket in 14 of the last 24 days and 54 of the last 89 for a grand total profit of 5.8 million*.  A 1-2 Thursday as losing with the Heat was an abomination and not getting the under also wasn’t great as the low looked really good in the final minute. It’s been a rough last few days but I did bang home the underdog Rangers on Thursday and am still feeling just fine.

Three more baseball locks are up and available as I gain right around another million stars. 400,000* Braves-Mets, Yankees-Angels, Twins-Royals. The recent horrific luck changes in the here and now! Click now to purchase

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a free pick Thursday is on the Seattle Mariners (-117) to Tampa.

Reasoning: Felix Hernandez at home at around a pick in this spot is more than fine with me. Certainly James Shields can be very good and has been very good, if not great, for the bulk of this season but Shields is no Hernandez. The reigning AL Cy Young award winner is absolutely filthy when on and pretty much always at least very good. He was touched up recently against the Yankees and isn’t perfect but this guy is a star hurler and even though they’re not the most talented team ever the Mariners are playing some spunky ball as they currently are actually over .500.

In the end the M’s aren’t going to be in the hunt but right now Brandon League has been closing games out and guys like Justin Smoak, Brendan Ryan and a few others are overachieving and looking pretty good. Ichiro doesn’t seem to be the same superstar he has been for a number of years but he can always be a danger in the box and must be at the very least respected.

Tampa Bay has been a reflection of their really good manager in Joe Maddon and is a team that lost a ton in the offseason but continues to chug along. I have no issues with Evan Longoria and the visitors as they have the far better chance after 162 games to make some noise but the Rays are not a great team anymore after losing the Crawford’s, Pena’s and Soriano’s of the world and in the end here I’m all about the Cat at Safeco at around a pick!

Top expert pick on this game: I’ve now cashed that ticket in 14 of the last 23 days and 54 of the last 88 for a grand total profit of 6.1 million stars.  A crappy last two days for sure as last night the Twins failed me again and the rare NHL play on the plus 180 Bruins came up short at the very, very end, 1-0. It happens, a mini skid will come and go in this racket but the truly great handicappers turn it into a small bump on the road and then very quickly some more bashing of the Crookie. That is exactly the deal here as I have a trio of plays including a side and extremely rare total on the hardwoods.

300,000* Hoops total and a 200,000* side along with a 200,000* winner on the diamond involving the Rangers and Indians. Don’t just watch me win. Win with me! Click now to purchase

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a free MLB Tuesday is on the NY Yankees (+155) to Oakland.

Certainly Brett Anderson is better than Freddy Garcia and the Yankees at times are not great but if I don’t have to lay money with what is still the definite better team then I’m all for it.

I really do like the lefty in Anderson. This kid has really good stuff and combined with Trevor Cahill are leading one of the better young pitching rotations in the game today. I don’t see the southpaw embarassing himself by any means but to get Arod, Tex, Cano, Swisher, Jeter and the Bombers, even across the country, is the right side. Garcia is old and a guy that I will fade in the right spot, mainly when he is laying a ton, but this is a solid spot to back the righthander in.

Joe Girardi’s club has had issues at times and they are not on the same level as the Red Sox this season. But the Yanks also are still one of the best teams in the game with a lineup that is way more high powered than the extremely mediocre Athletics. The Pinstripers were able to hit Felix Hernandez last week and just yesterday did some damage against Cahill and his one point whatever era.

This may not be a blowout as Anderson is tough but Garcia has been a lot better than expected and at this price I’ll take my chances on the New Yorkers.

Top expert pick on this game:  Matt Rivers says I’ve now cashed that ticket in 14 of the last 21 days and 54 of the last 86 for a grand total profit of 7.4 million*. The 400,000* on the small underdog Rangers were leading by a touchdown in the third inning. That’s how it’s done and that’s how I usually do it!

Two more winners today including another monster 400,000* on the diamond involving the Padres and Braves plus a high quality 300,000* on the NBA hardwoods as I give you the side between the Mavericks and Heat. Click now to purchase

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a Memorial Day Monday winner and it is on the Cleveland Indians (+105) Toronto.

Reasoning: Jo Jo Reyes hasn’t won in a bazillion starts. Literally almost 30, and to get the team with the best record in the American League in the Indians at around a pick today is fine with me. Certainly I never love the dreaded road chalk role and do realize that Cleveland has not played as well over the past few days but for the most part Fausto Carmona has bounced back nicely this season and is far superior to the former Brave Reyes.

I don’t mind John Farrell’s Blue Jays as Jose Bautista has been crushing the ball and guys like Hill and Lind and Escobar and the suddenly surging Corey Patterson are not bad at all. The problem today is that Reyes has been that bad and he is up against an offense that just continues to perform game in and game out. With Grady Sizemore back to go with Choo, Santana and Cabrera the Tribe are a team that may legitimately be a ton better than anybody believed they would be and that is with this recent mini slide where they have dropped four of the last five games.

I never thought nor do I currently believe that the Indians are a true World Series threat. But these guys are every bit as good as the Jays and probably better as the records indicate and to get the quality sinker baller in Carmona against Reyes is a semi must play.

Top expert pick on this game: Cleveland Indians
