OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper<\/a> Matt Rivers has free pick<\/a> for Monday and it is on the Cincinnati Reds (+156) to Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Reasoning: Certainly Cincinnati\u00a0had a rough last series at Cleveland against the surging Indians and to be honest with you the Reds aren\u2019t all that good right now. But with that said I am going to continue to fade the Phillies as\u00a0Charlie Manual\u2019s\u00a0offense is the worst in baseball\u00a0at this time. Yes I said it, the worst in baseball. Without Shane Victorino the Fightin\u2019 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\u2019s club is in a collective offensive tailspin and that\u2019s being ultra kind.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0Bronson 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.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0Hamels 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\u2019t see them all of a sudden doing a 180 and\u00a0busting out with the sticks so in the end I\u2019m just fine\u00a0backing the\u00a0defending NL Central champs and fading the offensively challenged NL East champs.<\/p>\n

Top expert pick<\/a> 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\u2019m going to expose this with conviction in the highest play that I possess, a 500,000* B-O-M-B Bomb!<\/p>\n

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.
