OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper<\/a> Matt Rivers Saturday is on the Boston Red Sox (+105) to Toronto.<\/p>\n

Reasoning: I\u00a0backed Toronto in a comp\u00a0loser as the big dog\u00a0yesterday and am reversing course here because the price is just too\u00a0good not to.<\/p>\n

Brandon Morrow certainly has the potential to be a very very good pitcher as he is a dominating strikeout machine at times. Shoot the way this season has gone for John Lackey the Blue Jays\u00a0may even have the advantage\u00a0on the hill. But with that said I\u2019m not writing Mr.\u00a0Lackey off just yet and in that first start back off the\u00a0DL\u00a0the former Angel actually looked better.\u00a0Is he back and will this form last for good? I\u2019m not sure about that but he\u2019s much better than the 3-5 record and 7.60\u00a0ERA would suggest that I can tell you.<\/p>\n

As for the two teams, clearly the visitors from Beantown are the more powerful overall squad with\u00a0a lineup as nasty as any. The Jays can hit as well led by a budding star in Jose Bautista among others but the Sox are obviously far superior. Big Papi is on-fire, Adrian Gonzalez may be the early season MVP and Carl Crawford, Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia\u00a0and Kevin Youkilis are all very good and great at times.<\/p>\n

Things won\u2019t come easy today for Boston but in my opinion they are of solid value at this number as they just win this game more than they don\u2019t and that constitutes a value at this price.<\/p>\n

If Lackey regresses today and gets slapped around then\u00a0so be it. We were able to get a great team at a great value but just happened to lose. But if the guy is healthier and improving then we should be laying a decent chunk of change but yet aren\u2019t and I\u2019m more than fine with that scenario!<\/p>\n

Top expert pick<\/a> on this game: Boston from Matt Rivers<\/p>\n

For more information: <\/strong>The run is now 58 of 97 winning days, as in 58 winning days compared to only 39 losing ones and 5.7 million* of profit after the 400,000* on the plus money Nationals took care of business. It should have been another sweep of the board had we gotten any sort of a break with the big dog Bruins who were nipped 1-0 but in the end another winning day.<\/p>\n

Now to another 400,000* involving the superior but beat up Braves in Houston plus a 300,000* with the Indians and Yankees. Am I feeling good? You bet your arse I am. Click now to purchase<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
