#25 NHL Free Play Carolina Hurricanes -178 over NY Islanders, Saturday 2 ET - The Hurricanes are already up 3-0 and we see this series ending today on Saturday. The Islanders had an unfortunate draw here in terms of the playoff seeding and are simply out-classed here. The Canes are ready to move on and rest up for the next series and will not let up here. The Islanders lost the first two games by a multi-goal margin and though the next one was only a 3-2 loss, the Isles trailed all the way. The fact they fell just short in a tight one-goal loss is a tough defeat to come back from. Had they got back into the series we might see this one differently but now down 3 games to none, the Isles won't quit of course but their confidence level is shot and the Canes want to end this now. Carolina has had some recent playoff disappointment and they appear to be on a mission. This one is a bit too pricey to make our premium pick listing for Saturday but the Hurricanes are absolutely worth a look here in Game 4 per the above. Lay it! |

#955/956 ASA PLAY ON Under 8 Runs – Philadelphia Phillies at San Diego Padres, Friday at 9:40 PM ET - We are projecting sleepy bats here for these teams. Both teams were on the road yesterday and now meet on the west coast. The Phillies were in Cincinnati yesterday and the Padres faced the Rockies in Colorado with that series also wrapping up yesterday. Now you have a great pitching match-up here and neither club likely to hit well given this scheduling situation. The Padres lineup would certainly rather be hitting again at Coors Field than facing red hot Aaron Nola here. The Phillies hurler has been in top form for weeks now. Nola has been charged with only 5 earned runs on 14 hits in the 27 innings over his last 4 starts while also piling up strikeouts! He is not the only hot starter entering this one. Don't be fooled by Joe Musgrove's season numbers this year! He has been much better in April and had a tougher start versus Cubs but gave up only 7 earned runs in 19 innings in his other 3 starts this month. Musgrove entered this season with a 31-19 record and an ERA just a little north of 3.00 in his 3 seasons with the Padres. He is a solid starting pitcher to say the least! San Diego off a high-scoring loss at Colorado but, even at hitter-friendly Coors Field, the Padres scored an average of only 4 runs in the first 3 games of the series. The Phillies have averaged only 3.3 runs per game in going 1-2 last 3 games. Now, in a park that is not nearly as hitter-friendly as Coors Field or Great American Ballpark (where Phillies just were), both lineups struggles resume here. If you like good old-fashioned pitchers duels, this one appears to have all the ingredients to be one of those without a doubt. Our computer math model is projecting 5 to 6 runs here and even if it gets to 7 that is still a winning ticket for us. We are going with the Under in this one. |

ASA top play on 10* Indiana Pacers -5.5 vs Milwaukee Bucks, 5:30 PM ET - If we examine the big picture for the Bucks, it’s not as rosy as one might think. They are already paying two previous coaches a ton of money and are now stuck with Doc Rivers who is vastly overrated. The roster when healthy is a good one, but without Giannis (30PPG, 11.5RPG, 6.5APG, 1.1BPG) they have too many deficiencies on both ends of the court. There is a good chance Khris Middleton doesn’t play tonight, or if he does, he will not be close to 100%. The young Pacers were clearly nervous for Game 1 as it was a first-time playoff experience for many on the roster and it showed in a 109-94 loss. Then in Game 2 they settled in and dominated the Bucks in the second half for a 125-108 victory. Back at home we expect the home crowd to be electric and the young Pacers will feed off that energy. Indiana was 26-15 SU at home this season with the 6th best home court differential of +6.8PPG. They closed out the regular season with 5 straight home wins, 4 of which were against other Playoff teams. Milwaukee was a below average road team this season with a 18-22 SU record and a negative average Margin of Victory of minus -1.1PPG. When coming off a loss the Bucks are 13-19-1 ATS this season which is the second worst spread record in the league in that situation. Indiana is 5-2 SU versus the Bucks this season and 4 of those wins have come by 9+ points. The Bucks have no answer for Siakam who torched Milwaukee for 36 and 37 points in the first two games. Easy call here with Indiana in a double-digit win. |

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! |
