#918 ASA PLAY ON Houston Astros -110 over Seattle Mariners, Friday at 8:10 PM ET - This is a solid value spot on the Astros,. Houston got off to such a bad start this season that they are flying under the radar now that they are finally starting to turn the corner. The Astros have won 4 of 5 games and scored an average of 8 runs per game in this 5-game stretch yet, with an 11-20 record on the season, Houston is off the radar of most people. Here they host a Mariners team that is in first place in the division but just barely over .500 and, in fact, is just 6-6 on the road this season. Seattle has lost 3 of 8 games and scored an average of 3 runs during this stretch. So it is easy to see who is hotter at the plate right now. The scheduled starting pitchers are George Kirby and Ronel Blanco here. Kirby has solid overall numbers but has not been as strong on the road this season. That was also the case last season so the home / road variance of Kirby is not a fluke. The Astros Blanco has been fantastic this season and, at times, practically unhittable. Opponents are hitting only .144 against Blanco this season and he has a 3-0 record and a 1.65 ERA. We like the hot home team looking to gain some early season ground on the first place team in their division. Houston is use to being one of the best teams and their slow start is leading to big value here. Grab the high value low pick'em price with the home team here! Astros get the call in this one Friday.
#203334 ASA PLAY ON Toulouse over Montpellier, Friday at 1 PM ET - This one in French Ligue 1 action. Revenge game for Toulouse as they lost the first meeting at Montpellier early this season 3-0. That is not the type of loss that is easily forgotten about and Toulouse had won the two meetings before that by a combined score of 6-3. Toulouse enters this one on a 5-game unbeaten stretch. Montpellier has also played well of late but they played a weak schedule in terms of most of the opponents in their 5-game unbeaten run. So Montpellier is a bit over-valued right now. Toulouse is trying to make a big push for a top six spot in the table and they still have a shot at that. At home and ready for revenge and playing on a hot streak too, Toulouse gets it done here. Our computer math model shows strong odds of a big home win here Friday! Take Toulouse on Friday afternoon.
ASA top play on Orlando Magic -3.5 vs Cleveland Cavaliers, 7 PM ET - The home team is 5-0 SU in this series and all but one of those home wins have come by 10 or more points. We were on the Cavs last game and unbeknownst to us the Cavs Jarrett Allen was ruled out shortly before tipoff. Cleveland managed to win but it was by 1-point. We talked about how ‘average’ the Magic are on the road, but at home they are fantastic. They are 31-12 SU at home on the season with an average +/- of plus +8.9PPG which is the 4th best average in the NBA. Cleveland is only 1-game over .500 on the road this season with a negative point differential of minus -0.4PPG. The young Magic feed off their home crowd which has helped them beat this Cavaliers team in 3 of four meetings this season, with wins of 10, 38 and 23. Orlando is better in terms of offensive efficiency in this series and they have the 2nd best defensive efficiency rating in the playoffs allowing just .973-points per possession. We like the Magic to force a game 7 with a solid home win Friday night.

Service ASA's Bio & About Section
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!
