#951 ASA PLAY ON 8* Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 on the Run Line (-115) over Cincinnati Reds, Friday at 5:10 PM ET - There is going to be false market perception here in the betting markets because the Brewers have been slumping with losses in 9 of last 14 games and the Reds actually have won 5 of 6 but the wins came on the road and Cincinnati is just 2-5 last 7 games at home. Facing Milwaukee’s ace Burnes will quickly bring the Reds back to reality here and the Brewers will break out of their slump tonight in this early evening match-up. Burnes has been top notch this season ever since working out the kinks in his first two starts of the season. Since that time, he has allowed just 16 earned runs in his last 9 starts. In his last 54 innings of work he has been excellent in striking out 53! The turnaround for Burnes should not come as a surprise as he led the N.L. in strike outs last season! Also, we are going action on pitchers here because the Reds are expected to start Brandon Williamson (5.02 ERA) but this is also a play against situation the way we see it as Cincinnati is 6-13 last 19 against the Brewers plus 13-24 against right-handed starters this season. As for Reds starter Williamson, he was 1-5 with 4.07 ERA at AAA level last season and 2-4 with a 6.62 ERA this season at the AAA level. He had some success in his MLB debut this season but has struggled in each of the two starts since and we look for the fade to continue for Williamson in this outing. 6 of last 7 Reds losses have been by at least a 2-run margin and 71% of Milwaukee wins this season have been by a multi-run margin. This game has road blowout written all over it. We like the Brewers on the run line in this one. |

OVER 5½ -110 | |

#43/44 ASA PLAY ON 8* OVER 5.5 Goals (-110) - Florida Panthers at Vegas Golden Knights, Saturday at 8 PM ET - Even eliminating OT goals, the Panthers have averaged scoring 3.2 goals per game in regulation time of their 12 post-season wins. The Golden Knights, again excluding OT, have averaged 4.3 goals in their dozen playoff victories required to reach this point. Look for the aggressive Panthers to try and get the jump on Vegas early. However, on home ice, Vegas is sure to bounce back strong. We are not sure Florida can hang on to an early lead but we look for a quick jump on enemy ice to lead a rather high-scoring game 1. Given the above, would not be surprised to see each club get to the 3-goal mark in regulation time. This total set at 5.5 goals makes good sense for sure but also is offering us excellent line value. Over is our play here. |

#929 ASA PLAY ON 8* NY Yankees -120 over Los Angeles Dodgers, Saturday at 7:15 PM ET - We will go action on the pitchers here. The Dodgers have Michael Grove listed as a starter and the Yankees are expected to start Gerrit Cole here. The odds that both pitchers get scratched is, of course, very minimal and this is both a play on Cole and a play against Grove so we are in good shape either way. Cole has been solid in 3 of his 4 road starts this season. Though he enters this one off allowing bigger earned runs in his last 2 starts, the most recent one saw him give up only 4 hits in 6 innings while striking out 9. So, the point is that he is providing some line value here off a start where he deserved better. Even off the B2B tougher outings, Cole has been very strong this season with a 6-0 record and a 2.93 ERA. Certainly he rates a huge edge over Grove. The Dodgers 26-year old righty is in just his 2nd season. So far, at the MLB level, he has a 5.96 ERA in 11 games (10 starts). Opponents are hitting .313 against him this season. This game starts at 4:15 local time in Los Angeles. Note that New York has won 17 of 23 day games this season and heading into this series the Yankees were 9-3 in interleague action this season and the Dodgers were 3-3 against AL teams this season. The Dodgers are only 10-9 in day games this season while NY has that 17-6 mark under the sun this season! Also, LA actually has seen their bullpen struggle this season. This is rare for the Dodgers but they are 27th in the majors for bullpen ERA while the Yankees are ranked #1 in the majors for bullpen ERA. So, all factors considered, a lot of value with the road team at a very fair money line price in this one. Look for New York to bounce back off that 8-4 loss yesterday. Yankees get the win this afternoon in LA. |

The owners of American Sports Analysts (ASAwins), Lee Kostroski & Mike Merlet, have a combined 50+ years in the sports betting industry. Both started with Doc’s Enterprises, Lee in the late 80’s and Mike in the early 90’s. After learning the handicapping trade from one of the oldest in the business, they started ASA Inc in 1997 and have been going strong ever since. They have been known throughout the industry for their success on BIG GAMES including their 10* Midwest Game of the Year. ASA is located in Madison, WI and a foundation of their handicapping prowess revolves around the heart of the country – especially the Big Ten. ASAwins has appeared on numerous radio shows throughout the country as special expert football guests including Tampa, New Orleans, Madison, Milwaukee, Memphis, Las Vegas, and Denver just to name a few. They were also featured on the ESPN website with gaming writer Chad Millman during the 2011 season. ASAwins handicapping methods have evolved through years of with hard work and research being the anchor of their success. Rather than implementing one specific strategy as many handicappers do, they intertwine many different philosophies when it comes to making football, basketball, hockey, and baseball selections. They utilize their massive database that goes back over 30 years and can give them in depth information on any situation you can think of when it comes to handicapping. That’s not where they stop, however. They also research stats and film each week to evaluate the upcoming match ups on the field along with speaking with their personal contacts throughout the country (especially in the Midwest). On top of that, they analyze each point spread (and their movements) comparing them with their own power ratings to find where an edge might be found. Lastly, their predictive analytics or math models predict the outcomes of games based solely on numbers and statistics that aren’t swayed by the human element. So, as you can see, just because a game may fall into a successful system or the scheduling looks good to go against or with a certain team, that doesn’t mean that ASA automatically uses it as a selection. It must go through their in-depth process with all things considered before they give it the ASA stamp of approval. Looking at games from all these angles gives ASA the best of all worlds when it comes to handicapping. Their handicapping theories have proven successful over the years which has them as one of the more tenured experts in the industry. Lee & Mike at ASAwins have stood the test of time in an industry that makes it very tough to do so. Their 50+ years of experience will give you the WINNING EDGE you need. Sports wagering is an investment and it’s time you invest in the known commodity of ASAwins! |
