| Jul 8th, 2010 One of the top sportsbooks says that LeBron James will remain in Cleveland, though media reports say he will sign with the Miami Heat. Grandmaster Sports Handicapper still believes the Knicks are the frontrunner.
But first a free baseball scores pick from Matt Rivers:
The winner from OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Handicapper Matt Rivers on Thursday is on the Angels.
John Danks is a quality lefthander who can dazzle against anybody at anytime but the Angels are certainly a top tier club in baseball and to get a solid price back with Ervin Santana is enough to give it a go.
Santana is a little feast or famine at times and can get hit here at a total hitter’s park in US Cellular. Ozzie Guillens’ surging Sox are back in the race and playing very well but this game truly isn’t that far away from being 50-50 so I can’t help by grab the number with the Halos.
Aybar, Kendrick, Hunter, Abreu and Matsui are very good hitters that can never be getting too much money when they have at least a solid hurler on the mound which they do today. If Santana is on, with that electric stuff which he does have at times, then I would not be shocked to see the visitors win comfortably. Sure it’s asking a lot against a very good pitcher in Danks but the southpaw is not exactly a stud ace just yet and can allow a few runs.
Mike Scioscia’s club is a good one, not a great one at all as they did lose a lot of quality pieces in the last off-season and have not looked good thus far in this series but they are still quite competent and always worth a shot at a price like this.
The key to baseball is finding winnable games and getting quality takebacks in the process. You won’t win all of those games but if you can hit about half with the dog then you are good to go and that is the case here.
Not the lock of my life but a good value and a must play, even if small.
The pick: Anaheim +120 at Bodog
For more information: Still great numbers overall, 8 of 12 winning days, but I’m not at all happy with the last few days as they have just flat out been poor. It’s going to happen in any walk of life and there is no exception here but that still doesn’t make me feel at all better even if I am well ahead of the game. Back in the win column for sure today and in a major major way!
300,000* Cardinals-Rockies as Ubaldo either gets his stuff back together or gets bested by Carpenter along with a bonus 200,000* Pirates-Astros as Houston goes for the easy sweep. I’m excited and I’m ready to go today. Click now to purchase
