For tips on 1v4 very hard, see my other thread named "Get EVERY SINGLE outmatched achievement w/o skill.". But this post here will show you how to best do 1v1, 1v2, and 1v3 (any difficulty) ai.
I discovered the easiest way in the world to win 1v3 insane / very hard comps (post 1.1 patch) to get achievements. UPDATE: Still works as of April 22, 2011. I think it took only 14 minutes and little skill. I made this video to help you get your outmatched achievements if you have been struggling with them.
Detailed instructions:
JUST GET TO 15,000 MINERALS BEFORE COMPS AND YOU WIN. Pick map: Burning Tide, custom settings Pick Protoss vs. 3 Zergs (Zergs seem to waste a lot of mins) Start building probes Build a pylon Never forget to chronoboost. The whole reason I picked Protoss is for chronoboost so don't forget to constantly chorono. Expand twice Dont get supply blocked, you will only need 6 pylons TOTAL Build 21 probes at each base The computer will never attack you.
Last but not least, run a probe around the map to pick up +100 mineral boosts. UPDATE: these mineral boosts should respawn after each raise and lowering of the lava tide! Keep picking them up after each tide, this could make the difference between winning and losing!
VIDEO IS VS. 3 INSANE ai ZERG.
THis works for 1v1, 1v2, and 1v3 medium, hard, very hard, and insane. Enjoy all the free easy acheivement points. That's all the outmatched achievements with 0 skill required! For tips on 1v4 very hard, see my other thread named "Get EVERY SINGLE outmatched achievement w/o skill."

Change game type to custom, then you will be able to change to insane computers.You will then add 3 insane comps. You may also have to drag yourself to the slots below and let the 3 comps take up 'team1'

Same. Looks like Blizzard caught wind and fixed it.
Edit: Ha-dur, didn't refresh so I missed the custom game setting fix. Nvm.
Double edit: I can confirm this also works for the insane 3v3 mix achievements. Just do protoss (you)/zerg/terran vs protoss/zerg/terran and double expand to two gold sides instead. You do have to pull up for lava surges but there were only two before I won, and leaving 21 probes at the main helped. Funnily enough the final counts were the two protoss top, two zerg middle, two terran bottom by a bit. They all made units and upgrades and stuff but didn't do anything with them
I just did the 1v4 Insane as zerg and won - however, I think there's a bug in the system as it incorrectly considered both me and the 4th AI (spawning on my side) to be part of the north team. Ultimately, I would have won in any case but I'm fairly certain the game ended when both me and the AI combined had 15k minerals.
