#956 ASA PLAY ON Milwaukee Brewers -140 over St Louis Cardinals, Sunday at 2:10 PM ET - St Louis has now lost 7 straight games. They are the coldest team in the majors right now and this is a bargain price on the Brewers at home. Milwaukee is starting Bryse Wilson here and he was already pitching great out of the bullpen but now has also ramped up his effectiveness as a starter too. He has now made 4 recent starts and continues to get stronger with each start and has worked 6 innings in each of his last two outings plus Wilson has allowed only 10 hits in his 18 innings of work as a starter. Miles Mikolas is struggling this season and gets the call in this one for the Cardinals. He has been particularly bad in day games as he has made 4 afternoon starts and gone 0-4 with an 8.24 ERA in these outings. Here you have the top team in the NL Central versus the last place team and the Brewers also are 12-6 in day games while the Cardinals are just 5-14 in afternoon action this season. St Louis has lost 9 of 10 games and the recent loss of catcher Wilson Contreras to injury - likely out 10 weeks - really hurts the Cardinals also. Milwaukee has won 5 straight games at home by a combined score of 38 to 9 and the value is huge here with the home team the way we see it! Moderate price but well worth it. Brewers get the call in this one Sunday. |

ASA top play on 10* UNDER 218.5 NY Knicks at Indiana Pacers – Game 4 Sunday - The Knicks short rotation is starting to wear down. Coach Thibadeau has been criticized in the past for not using his bench players and that could be a key factor as this series goes on. In Game 3 the Knicks only managed 16 points in the 4th quarter and 106 for the game. If it weren’t for an unbelievable 3-point shooting night the Knicks certainly don’t reach 100-points. New York was 52% from beyond the arc in Game 3, making 14 of 27 3-pointers. NY shoots 37.2% on the season which is barely above average. The Pacers 3PT% defense is 16th in the NBA allowing 36.7%. Indiana had an average game by their standards with a 47% shooting game and hit 38% from Deep. For the game though these two teams combined for 169 FG attempts which is below the league standard of 177. Both teams pace of play numbers have dropped significantly in the playoffs compared to their regular season tempo. There are several key players for both teams that are not 100% including Haliburton and Nesmith for the Pacers and Brunson continues to play through a sore foot. Any way we slice it we don’t see these two teams combining for more than 215 total points. |

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! |
