Mike Pelfrey at times can be very good but if you want to see a cheap price that is the Rangers here.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Jose Reyes is a star and the Mets have been alright this season\u00a0but David Wright and Ike Davis are still banged up and all in all the New Yorkers really shouldn\u2019t be able to bang away and match the runs production of guys like Hamilton, Young, Kinsler, Cruz and\u00a0Beltre. Texas always has the potential to put up a crooked number and\u00a0I just don\u2019t see the extremely mediocre Mets doing\u00a0enough\u00a0against Harrison in order to keep pace<\/p>\n<p>Laying that run and a half with a home team is definitely scary, I readily admit that and don\u2019t do it all that often, but at home I am all about a very good hurler in Harrison and the much better Rangers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/offshoreinsiders.com\/index.php?PageID=140\">Top expert pick<\/a> on this game: A very sound win from Matt Rivers on the 300,000* Cardinals in yesterday\u2019s lone play. I am now up 5.7 million* over the past 3 \u00bd 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! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.offshoreinsiders.com\/index.php?Page=Packages\">Click now to purchase<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers Friday is on the Texas Rangers (-1.5 +130) to NY Mets.
