Lindsay McCormick is not nearly as hot as Matt Rivers free sports pick<\/a> from the MLB playoffs.<\/p>\n

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The NLCS between Philly and the Giants resumes in San Francisco, while the Yankees play host to the Rangers in Game 4 of their ALCS.<\/p>\n

Meeting up on the diamond . . .<\/strong><\/p>\n

The NLCS shifts to San Francisco on Tuesday, with Game 3 between the Giants and Phillies. San Francisco will give the ball to Matt Cain (0-0, 0.00 ERA in the playoffs) in that contest, while Philadelphia counters with Cole Hamels (1-0, 0.00 ERA in the playoffs). Righthander Cain had to settle for a no-decision in his NLDS outing against the Braves, surrendering one unearned run on seven hits over his 6 2-3 innings of work in that game. Lefthander Hamels dazzled the Reds in his only outing of the NLDS, giving up just five hits over his nine shutout innings. Hamels struck out nine in that win.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it\u2019s Game 4 of ALCS between the Rangers and Yankees in New York on Tuesday night. The Yankees will try their luck with A.J. Burnett on the mound on Tuesday. Righthander Burnett has yet to pitch in the playoffs this year, and the team was just 2-8 in his last 10 trips to the mound during the regular season. The Rangers will turn to Tommy Hunter (0-1, 4.50 ERA in the playoffs) for Tuesday\u2019s game. Righthander Hunter lost to the Rays in the ALDS, giving up three runs over four innings.<\/p>\n

Your comp winner for Tuesday\u00a0is on the Rangers.<\/p>\n

I will gladly fade AJ Burnett in this spot, gladly. The New York righthander is a total waste of a guy who is pretty much stealing money these days. Yes that last start in Boston was better and I guess considered positive but I\u2019m not really taking all that much from it and think disaster is written all over this thing.<\/p>\n

Tommy Hunter was better earlier in the season than down the stretch but all in all the guy had an extremely successful season and the numbers bare that out. The righty went 13-4 overall with a 3.73 ERA. I fully understand how today is a tough tough task for Hunter\u00a0in a hitter\u2019s park against Joe Girardi\u2019s boppers led by Arod, Cano, Jeter\u00a0and Tex but I see him being far more conducive to success today than Burnett.<\/p>\n

The Rangers\u2019 lineup is no joke either as we have been seeing. Hamilton, Young, Kinsler, Cruz, Vlad and others form an elite squad that deserved to win the AL West after leading almost all of the way. Ron Washington has a confident group that should not really have many problems against the regressing Burnett. I\u2019m truly shocked that Girardi even\u00a0is going to throw\u00a0AJ out there in such a big-time spot. How he has any confidence in him is beyond me and up against a Texas team that truly should be up 3-0 makes me salivate a bit at this matchup.<\/p>\n

Hunter may not hurl a complete game shutout in this spot against the big bad Yankees but I would not be all that surprised to see Burnett in the showers by the third inning. Look for the Ranger bats to do their thing and for Hunter to give us five or six solid enough innings in a Texas triumph.<\/p>\n

This season Burnett\u00a0was 10-15 with a 5.26 ERA. I see no way he can turn things around against this opponent in this spot, period.<\/p>\n

Matt Rivers says that if all days were like Monday I would be retired by now. Just two absolutely dominating\u00a0performances from Tennessee and Texas in the perfect 2-0\u00a0sweep netting 700,000* of profit. I feel really good right now and am ready for another 400,000* winner, just like\u00a0Cliff Lee and the Rangers yesterday, in this National League game from San Francisco. 400,000*\u00a0Absolute No-Brainer\u00a0between Philadelphia and San Francisco for all the marbles!

As well, there are four games on the ice around the National Hockey League on Tuesday, with Boston at Washington, Vancouver at Minnesota, Carolina at San Jose, and Calgary at Nashville. The Flames improved to 2-2-0 on the season on Saturday night with a 5-3 home win over rival Edmonton. Alex Tanguay scored twice for Calgary in that contest, with Brendan Morrison, Jarome Iginla, and Niklas Hagman providing one goal each. Miikka Kiprusoff made 27 saves. The Predators fell 3-2 at home in overtime in their last game on Saturday, blowing the 2-0 lead they held through two periods. J.P. Dumont and Jordin Tootoo scored for Nashville, and Anders Lindback stopped 31 shots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
