#951/952 ASA PLAY ON Over 11 Runs – San Francisco Giants at Chicago Cubs, Friday at 2:20 PM ET - Action on pitchers here as Edward Cabrera has been dealing with a blister issue and we want the over here even if he gets scratched. As you can see with the high total posted on this game, the wind is expected to be blowing out at Wrigley Field this afternoon. The weather will be very warm today in Chicago and we expect a strong performance from both lineups in this one. We realize the Cubs, prior to yesterday's 7-6 win, had been slumping and have not been scoring all that well. However, this is a great match-up for them to continue their recent surge of getting the bats going again just like we have seen with Chicago totaling a respectable 11 runs on 20 hits over their past two games here. Now they take advantage of facing Robbie Ray here. The veteran southpaw has been having a rougher time this season and this has particularly been true on the road. Ray is 0-5 with a 6.23 ERA on the road this season. He is also coming off a May in which he compiled a 6.44 ERA in his 6 starts. The Cubs Cabrera is coming back from a blister injury which forced him to miss his last start. Those injuries are very tough on a pitcher and also he is coming off a May in which he had a 5.79 ERA and opponents hit .311 against him. The Giants should pound him and, though the SF bats have been a little up and down of late, they have averaged 6 runs scored in their last dozen games and are coming off a huge high-scoring win at Milwaukee yesterday so confidence will be high again entering this hitter-friendly opportunity Friday afternoon. 10 of the Giants last 13 games have totaled 11+ runs. With both Cabrera and Ray likely to have very tough starts here we expect both teams to reach at least the 6-run mark here and, of course, a 6-6 game can't end like that and has to get to at least 7-6. No matter how it gets there we fully expect 12+ to not be an issue here! Our computer math model projects a total of 13 to 14 runs here and even if it only gets to 12 that is still a winning ticket for us. We are going with the Over in this one. |

ASA NBA play on San Antonio Spurs -6 vs. NY Knicks, 8:30 pm ET - The Spurs outplayed the Knicks for a majority of Game 1, then Brunson took over in the 4th Q for a short period of time and the Knicks pulled away for good. Coincidentally, the Knicks run came with Wemby off the floor. The Spurs (Wemby) didn’t play well offensively in the opener, and we expect a much better performance on that end of the court in Game 2. San Antonio shot just 36% overall and made 11/43 3-pointers or 26% from deep. The Spurs have one of the best offensive efficiency ratings in the playoffs and that factors in their series against the best defense in the NBA in OKC. The Knicks defense deserves some credit, but their season long numbers suggest they aren’t as good as they showed in Game 1. The Knicks didn’t put up great offensive numbers on that end of the court which is understandable considering the Spurs had the 3rd best defensive efficiency rating during the regular season and 2nd best in the playoffs. San Antonio was the best team in the league when coming off a loss this season with a 21-6 SU record and an average margin of victory of +11.1PPG. SAS is 11-1 in their last 12 when playing at home and coming off a loss and all of those wins but one came by 9 or more points. We will call for a blowout here. |

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.
