NBA Locks: Heat vs. Celtics

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has an NBA lock Monday is on the Miami Heat (-1) to Boston.

Top expert pick on this game: The Celtics pretty much staved off elimination with that great second half in game three but can they do it again? I say no.

The last thing that I am going to do is sit here and try and bag on Doc Rivers’ squad. Boston is still extremely capable with very experienced players and a foursome as good as any. Pierce, Garnett, Allen and Rondo are super dangerous and can beat anybody anywhere. But I do believe that Wade and LeBron are going to step things up tonight and play a full 48 minutes, something they did not accomplish in that last game.

The Heat were somehow flat in that last game, I saw it as did many of you. Besides the solid second quarter they didn’t show all that much. I don’t see that happening again here in Beantown against what is still a banged up Boston squad. Pretty much all of the key cogs for the home C’s are hurting with maybe Garnett being the most healthiest and at any time that can change, as we have seen in recent seasons. Rondo still has the back issue, Allen with the chest and Pierce with you name it.

Boston is still a fairly confident bunch and should be in this thing but in the end I do believe the true cream will rise to the top and that will be King James and his mates.

Two plays today and two winners today. The numbers are still top notch for sure but after the recent skid I just don’t deserve to tout them and won’t tout them. But when I go 2-0 tonight I’ll come with them tomorrow that you can be sure of. 300,000* Oklahoma City-Memphis plus a 200,000* Chicago-Anaheim. Click now to purchase

Free MLB Picks: Cubs vs. Reds

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a pick Sunday is on the Cubs (+105) to the Cincinnati Reds.

Reasoning: Ryan Dempster had a horrible first month to the season but finally looked pretty good in that last start in Los Angeles. I still don’t love the sinkerballer nor do I love the Cubs but the Reds have been far from much of late and I’ll back the northsiders today at this cheap home price.

Johnny Cueto when on can be awesome and I’ll be the first to admit such. But this is the righty’s first start of the season thanks to the shoulder injury and I’m really not all that sure how he is going to fare in this first start. It really wouldn’t shock me if he was in the shower by the third inning to be honest as guys like Soriano, Pena and Fukudome aren’t great but are potent enough at times.

Cincinnati started the season 4-0 and ever since has been very mediocre. Joey Votto can be great and I like Jay Bruce and Brandon Phillips as well but the defending NL Central Champions have just not been that good of late.

Dempster still has ace type potential with that biting sinker and at Wrigley I’ll back him and fade Cueto in his first start. The Reds are struggling a ton with the bats and have not been the same team we saw last season. It’s not the easiest thing to trust the Cubbies but that is what I am going to do today as the Reds are really no better.

Top expert pick on this game: Chicago Cubs

For more information: All in all last week was an abomination, plain and simple. The Heat’s second half yesterday about summed things up but the winning days have been a very impressive 39 of the last 63 and the profit is still at a whopping 6 million stars. It’s not what it was, there’s no doubt about that and I would never sugarcoat like some do. But with that said the last few months are still probably better than any other handicapper on this planet in that span so I’ll take it.

Three winners today including the highest play in my arsenal, a 500,000* between da Bulls and da Hawks. 300,000* Lakers-Mavericks and a 100,000* on the diamond with the Diamondbacks and Padres. Click now to purchase

Chicago White Sox (+160) to Seattle Free MLB Underdog Bet

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers free Friday pick is on the Chicago White Sox (+160) to Seattle.

Reasoning: Ozzie Guillen’s Sox certainly have been awful for a while now but Felix Hernandez or no Felix Hernandez this Seattle Mariner squad just can’t be laying such a big price. King Felix has as much of an upside as anybody and I certainly love upside but the Seattle lineup is weak and all in all the M’s are just a bad baseball team that can lose anytime they take the field.

I definitely can’t say the White Sox are any better than bad because that is what they have been for a while now. With that said though “the good guys” still have powerful hitters in Konerko, Dunn, Beckham and a few others and are going to start to play better ball at some point in the near future. They have to as they are a lot better than what they have shown and a lot better than today’s opponent.

Phil Humber has shown some glimpses this season. Just ask the Yankees about that as he almost no-hit the Bombers at the Stadium. The guy is far from Cy Young, I readily admit that, but he is at least serviceable and should hold his own against the punch and judy Mariners. Humber shouldn’t be better than him. I don’t trust Hernandez but he should be able to outclass the M’s lineup and put up his share of zeros.

I don’t trust either side in this game and in a small play I’m therefore fine with taking back a solid number like this.

Top expert pick on this game: White Sox

For more information: Another tight one run loss for Matt Rivers yesterday on the Brewers but still well ahead of the man and ready to put some more notches in my belt today. It’s funny how the luck has certainly gone against me over the past week and yet the numbers are still fairly staggering.

A pair of Friday plays, one on the diamond and one on the hardwoods, as I roll into the weekend in style. 400,000* Dodgers-Mets and a 300,000* Bulls-Hawks. Don’t just watch me win. Win with me. Get Rivers locks at OffshoreInsiders.com

Astros vs. Reds Picks and Prediction

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a Major League Baseball winner for Thursday is on the Houston Astros (+135) to Cincinnati.

Due note this a 12:35 EST game so if you need to get down on it do it early.

Reasoning: Homer Bailey had a ton of fanfare when he broke into the big leagues because of his stuff. But thanks to injuries and frankly underachieving the guy has not really materialized into all that much. Bailey is still young so I’m not going to write him off just yet but as of right now he is no Brett Myers and I’ll therefore back this road dog and take my chances.

When all is said and done it’s the Reds who are clearly the superior team of these two. Joey Votto is the reigning MVP and Dusty Baker’s club has a high upside. But things have not been all that great after the 4-0 start to the season and if not for the three run 9th inning yesterday Cincinnati would in fact be under .500 going into this game. So it’s not as if everything is all hunky dory with the defending NL Central champions because that’s far from the case.

The Astros aren’t very good, I get that, but ever since leaving Philadelphia Myers has been an absolute machine and that’s with those last two starts against the Brewers being one of his weaker ones in a Houston uniform. This guy hurls quality start after quality start and is a horse right now. I expect the right-hander to more than hold his own and I’m really not all that sure what Bailey is going to be able to do in his season debut. If he can shake off the shoulder troubles and come out and dominate for five or six innings it may not even be enough against Myers and if he looks rusty than to get any money at all with the ‘Stros is a joke.

Houston is coming off of that bad loss yesterday and it’s never a bad thing to back a team in such spot as more times than not they will be focused and play well that next game. In the end I’m about Pence, Bourn and the boys from Houston to do enough for Myers in a victory.

Top expert pick on this game: Houston from Matt Rivers

For more information: A solid winning Wednesday as the 400,000* on the Mavericks won outright and the first hockey play that I released was on the big dog Sharks who took care of business in overtime. I’m ready to go now for Thursday and continue to build on the sick profit margin with a pair of plays on the diamond. 300,000* Milwaukee-Atlanta and a 200,000* New York and Detroit. I’m the best there is and will be just that today! Click now to purchase

Mavericks vs. Lakers Picks and Predictions

The Atlanta Hawks are at the Chicago Bulls, while the Dallas Mavericks are at the Los Angeles Lakers. Plus there is a full slate of MLB. Two elite handicappers have picks and previews for tonight.

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a Wednesday winner and it is on the Atlanta Hawks (+9) against the Chicago Bulls.

Reasoning: I won’t say that I love this game two because frankly it seems a little easy to me and that more times than not is the kiss of death in the NBA.

If you take the names off of the jerseys from game one and ask anybody, sports fan or not, who the better team was it wouldn’t even be close. Larry Drew’s team manned up in a big-time way and flat out deserved to win that first game. Nobody has ever disputed the talent on this Atlanta team. It has been more about their Heart and killer instinct. Guys like Joe Johnson and Josh Smith just seem to fade off into oblivion at times and not play up to their All-Star capabilities. But Johnson and his 34 points showed in that last game how good he could be, Jamal Crawford has been balling and Smith along with Al Horford can play big and do some good things. These guys upset Dwight Howard and the Magic in the first series and now took game one at the United Center, a place where very few teams have been successful.

Tom Thibodeau’s team will come out and play with some anger, which you can bet on. But both Derrick Rose and Carlos Boozer are banged up, if not “injured”, and all of a sudden this 62 win Chicago team has become extremely vulnerable in the playoffs. The Pacers looked to be the superior team in a lot of the last series but couldn’t close the deal late in games. Now in game one of this series it really wasn’t even close. So all in all to get another large number like this with the far healthier squad and quite possibly all of a sudden the more confident squad makes me fine with the visitors from Atlanta.

Top expert pick on this game: Atlanta Hawks from Matt Rivers

Now the winningiest sports service off all-time GodsTips has a baseball pick and preview. It’s to go with Tampa -119 to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Reasoning: Tampa has won 7-of-9. The Rays are 26-8 against the Blue Jays at Tropicana Field.  I can’t lie, this angle has random chance contributing, but still we can’t completely ignore that Rays are 19-3 in Niemann’s last 22 starts during game 2 of a series.

NBA Betting Lines: Bulls vs. Hawks Predictions

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a free pick Monday is on the Chicago Bulls (-8.5) to Atlanta.

Reasoning: It’s not like me to be laying almost double digits but I really do not see the Hawks being able to stay in this game one on the road in the Windy City. Not that Kirk Hinrich is a great point guard but with that hamstring injury we are going to see a younger Jeff Teague get more minutes at the point and even though I like the former Wake Forest star I just think this is too tough of a situation to get thrown in the fire like he very well may.

Larry Drew’s team certainly manned up against Dwight Howard and the Magic in winning that series. Jamal Crawford was balling and guys like Smith, Horford and Johnson have the upside to be pretty good. It’s not like the Hawks don’t have the potential to compete in a few of these games because they do if they come to play but I’m not so sure that this spot on the highway is conducive to success.

Derrick Rose is a superstar and should be healthy after getting some time to rest. He and his Bulls thoroughly destroyed the Hawks in a few games this season and I mean destroyed. Even in the game they lost they were up big and somehow someway played one terrible fourth quarter and lost a game they dominated most of the way. Tom Thibodeau’s team seems to have something in this matchup as the lopsided regular season does tell a story.

Carlos Boozer is banged up and really hasn’t been the Carlos Boozer that we have seen for years now. But at home with Rose, Joakim Noah and others I see a final somewhere in the vicinity of 94-82 as Chicago’s defense flexes its muscles as it’s done all season long.

Top expert pick on this game: Chicago from Matt Rivers

For more information: I am rocking and rolling today and that is a fact. The past few days have been pedestrian-like but the run is still more than golden as I am the best handicapper on this planet. Just look above at the phenomenal numbers and understand that things are getting even much better today.

Four rock solid locks in all including three on the diamond led by a 500,000* first 5 inning play involving the Yankees and Tigers. Add in a 300,000* on the game itself and that is a whopping 800,000* on one baseball game alone. Do you think I’m afraid to pull that trigger? Heck no! Plus a pair of 200,000* with the Angels and Red Sox plus the Mavericks and Lakers. Four plays, four winners and another million plus stars of profit! Click now to purchase

Baseball Betting Tips: Chicago Cubs-Arizona Diamondbacks

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers Sunday is on the Chicago Cubs (+145) to Arizona.

Reasoning: When investing on baseball it’s not always about thinking you have the lock of all locks and will win all the time. To get a value is the name of the game and this is a value as the Diamondbacks are a 75-win team max and not worthy of laying a decent price like this. One doesn’t even need to go .500 on the diamond in order to make a lot of profit and that is the case here. This one play may lose but if this game played out 1,000 times taking the price back would be a definite winner as Arizona would find a way, as they do a lot of the time, to fail in the end. Certainly the Cubs would wet the bed their share of times as well but they’re not the big-time pup that would need to win the majority of the time.

Is Casey Coleman good? No he’s really not and I do admit that Daniel Hudson has a fairly high ceiling as we saw last season making him superior to Coleman. But this current version of the Diamondbacks is just not good and certainly not worthy of laying a chunk of change. I like Young and Upton but like I already said, Arizona is a 75 or so win team and even if the Cubs are going to once again fail to win the World Series they still have enough to win in the desert.

I don’t love Mike Quade’s squad and will fade them every chance I get when they are laying too much. But in this underdog spot to get Soriano, Ramirez, Fukudome and the at least somewhat capable Cubbies plus this much is a semi must play.

Top expert pick on this game: Chicago Cubs from Matt Rivers

For more information: A winning Saturday as the 400,000* on the Indians came through in extras. Things have been great for awhile and no mini skid will ever keep me down. I’m ready to rock and roll once again today and close out yet another winning weekend and improve upon the gaudy numbers you see above.

400,000* Boston-Miami along with a 200,000* on the diamond involving the Blue Jays and Yankees. I’m about to continue burying that Crookie. Are you? Click now to purchase

Baltimore Orioles vs. Chicago White Sox Free MLB Picks

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a Saturday MLB lock is on the Orioles (+120) to Chicago White Sox.

Reasoning: I had Baltimore yesterday right here in that easy underdog win at Chicago and am going to go right back to that well. I just like Buck Showalter’s team when getting money back as they are dangerous offense and good enough to beat a semi downtrodden White Sox squad.

Ozzie Guillen was just suspended and the ChiSox have not been playing very good ball of late at all. They did recently take two of three games at Yankee Stadium but have pretty much lost everything else and all in all little has gone right for the South Siders in the past few weeks. This team is not hitting the ball, the relievers at times have been atrocious and all in all is just not very good right now. At some point guys like Konerko, Dunn, Beckham and others will pick it up as there is a bunch of talent there but until they do Chicago is a must go against team for sure in a spot such as this one.

Phil Humber did have that no-hitter fairly late in that last start in the Bronx but I’m not buying it. It’s still Phil Humber, not even Phil Niekro, as he is a guy that is far from being great. The former Met draft pick has pitched well and deserves to be in the starting rotation, I admit that. He also may be a little better than the young Chris Tillman right now but I’ll take a little coin back with the much underrated and frankly really good Baltimore offense. Markakis, Roberts, Guerrero, Jones and Lee help make up a lineup that has the potential to put up a bunch of crooked numbers.

If this is the time that the Sox lineup comes together, which is always possible, then so be it. But until the “good guys” show a sign of life my jack is on a very competent O’s squad at an underdog price.

Top expert pick on this game: Baltimore from Matt Rivers

For more information: I have had 36 of 55 winning days and 7.9 million stars of profit. Even with the recent bump in the road the numbers are still beyond gaudy. The 200,000* on the Grizzlies was sweet last night and now I double that with a 400,000* from the Jake involving the Tigers and Indians. Bonus 200,000* with the Angels and Rays. I’m the best there is and will once again be the best there is! Click now to purchase

NBA Playoffs 2011 TV Schedule TNT: Lakers at Hornets Spread Pick

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a winner for Thursday is on the New Orleans Hornets (+6) hosting the LA Lakers.

Reasoning: Every time of late the Lakers take one step forward they then seem to take one step back and I can see that once again happening today. Yes Los Angeles did come through in that last game fairly easily after the ugly first quarter and yes Phil Jackson’s squad is clearly the more talented team. But with that said I just do not trust them right now.

New Orleans is not a team that is loaded with talent, I understand that. It’s pretty much Chris Paul and a bunch of role players with David West out but those guys have stepped up beautifully a lot of the time and now back home to get half a dozen is fine with me. Guys like Aaron Gray, Jarrett Jack, Emeka Okafor, Trevor Ariza and Carl Landry form a pretty together team right now that at home should be able to compete from start to finish. Game three was a Los Angeles outclassing but then game four was a New Orleans outright. In game five at Staples the Lakers flexed their muscles once again but I can see another semi regression here.

Pau Gasol has not been very good for the bulk of the series and the Lakers haven’t been all that at all for a while now. Plus Kobe is not close to 100% and in the end at home the Hornets are going to have some sting and quite possibly extent this series to a seventh game.

Top expert pick on this game: New Orleans from Matt Rivers

For more information: Just one play only today as it’s an absolute mortal lock from Matt Rivers. I truly feel as if I have tomorrow’s newspaper with this bad boy. 36 of 53 winning days and 8.5 million* of profit. 500,000* Orlando-Atlanta for all the marbles. I’m dropping a bomb and once again destroying that Crookie! Click now to purchase
