Game: Chicago White Sox at Cleveland (1:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Cleveland +115 (moneyline)
The Cleveland Indians were a road disaster a year ago where they lost 50 games. They were respectable at home, collecting 38 wins. They expect big things from Carlos Carrasco this season as he finished strong to end 2010. Carrasco allowed more than 3 runs in just one of his last eight starts last year. The White Sox will turn to Edwin Jackson who was getting bombed in Arizona before they acquired him and he did do well with the change in uniform. His problem is location, as he walks way too many hitters and early in the season, I would expect a pitcher that has trouble with command to struggle even more.
Cleveland wins this one.

Today’s play is the Golden St Warriors over the Dallas Mavericks at home. The Warriors have been putting a hurting on the scoreboard lately, lighting them up over the last several games. They can knock down the deep ball extremely well at 39% as a team on the season. The Warriors have 4 very legitimate scorers on the team in Monta Ellis, Steph Curry, David Lee, and Dorell Wright, all of whom can put up 20-25 on any night of the week. But their defense has also gotten worse, as they have opened up the court play.
The Mavs, who a very good road team, have done the opposite, they have tightened it up on defense recently, holding the Lakers to only 96 and the Suns to only 83 points. Also a very good deep ball shooting team led by “Jason Vorthrees”, Jason Kidd and Jason Terry. Last meeting, Dallas hammered them 101-73 behind Tyson Chandler’s monster 17 rebound night, including 5 offensive. I think the Warriors will keep in mind that game and get retribution at home. Golden St is very respectable at home and I like them tonight.
PREDICTION: Golden St Wins 108-104

OffshoreInsiders Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a free pick Saturday on the Houston Astros (+225) at Philadelphia.
Reasoning: I never mind teams that are coming off of horrific losses and that is the case with the Houston Astros after blowing the 4-0 lead very late yesterday. Professionals just seem to bounce back a lot more than they don’t no matter the situation and at this quality take back why not back the visitors from Houston?
Of course Cliff Lee has the upside of any pitcher in the game today, save maybe Roy Halladay, and could twirl a gem against any team and that certainly includes the mediocre at the very best Astros. But there is something right now about Charlie Manual’s offense with Chase Utley out that I do not like. Ryan Howard and the boys did not look very good yesterday at all. They did win in the end thanks to a bunch of key singles but I do not believe this team is locked and loaded. We saw a bunch of ice cold hitting from the Phils last season as they struggled immensely at times. How they wound up winning 97 games or whatever truly was a miracle as they just weren’t that good a lot of the time.
Wandy Rodriguez gets the ball for the Astros and the lefty at times can be awesome. He was not that good in the first half of last season but this kid has high quality stuff and certainly can neutralize Howard, Raul Ibanez and whatever lefty is in the Philadelphia lineup.
If Lee is lights out and just too good then I will tip my cap. But Rodriguez can match him with some zeros of his own and after yesterday’s rough beat and at this big-time take back I am fine with Hunter Pence, Michael Bourn and the Astros today.

Butler -2.5
Cleveland Indians +124
I was very impressed with the Indians comeback as they were down 14-0 and could have called it a day. Instead, they outscored the Sox 10-1 and have a lot of momentum coming into this game today. I am not impressed with Edwin Jackson for the White Sox and think the Indians will put up a decent amount of runs today. Starting Indians pitcher, Carlos Carasco, has tremendous upside and should pitch a good enough game to get his team a win. Take the Indians.
