PICKS IN PROGRESS
ASA NHL play on Montreal Canadiens -100 at New York Islanders, 6 pm ET Sunday - The Islanders are a loss away from being eliminated from the playoff race and they are the more desperate side here. However, the Canadiens are fighting hard to finish #2 in the Atlantic Division. Currently they are tied on points with the Lightning but the Bolts have the tiebreaker. This means that if the season had ended Saturday Tampa Bay would have the home ice edge over Montreal in their first round series. The point is that this is an important game for Montreal as well and yet it is the Islanders side that is undoubtedly playing with more pressure on their shoulders. That being said, this is a very generous offer to back a solid Canadiens team and lay little to no juice! Montreal, since mid-December, is 15-4 when coming off a loss and they are coming off a defeat versus Columbus. The Habs had won 10 of 11 prior to that loss. The Islanders are coming off a 3-0 loss to Ottawa and have lost 5 straight games against playoff-level teams and they lost those games by an aggregate score of 23-10. Hiring Peter DeBoer (1-1 so far with a win over the downtrodden Leafs) will prove to be too little too late for the Isles and they lose today to end their post-season hopes. Grab the road team here!
English Premier League #200165/200166 ASA PLAY ON Over 3 Goals (-120) – Manchester City at Chelsea, Sunday at 11:30 am et - Both clubs are off huge wins in English FA Cup action and will look to replicate the goal-scoring success in a long-time rivalry battle here. Chelsea has some absences but the Blues are going to take advantage of home pitch here and still have solid depth to rely upon. Also helping their cause is that Manchester City has some defensive injuries as some defenders for the Citizens are out for this match. The Blues needed that big win over Port Vale to get some confidence back and they now host a City side that has scored 6 goals in its last two matches. Manchester City has scored an average of 2.5 goals in the last 4 meetings between these clubs. On the other side, Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior knows his team must perform well here as he has been feeling the pressure. Home pitch and rejuvenated by a blowout win in FA Cup action should see the Blues score well here but Manchester City matches them in a possible 2-2 stalemate the way we see it playing out. Over gets the call at Stamford Bridge Sunday.
ASA NBA play on UNDER 243 Atlanta Hawks at Miami Heat, 6:10pm ET - Both teams have incentives to win this game to potentially improve their standing in the Eastern Conference playoff seeding, but health/rest is nearly as important. In other words, we should have a ‘playoff like’ atmosphere AND could get shortened rotations for the starters, both factors clearly favor a lower scoring game. In the season series these two teams have scored 225, 242 and 237 total points. In the game that reached 242 total points the Hawks had an exceptional shooting night from deep hitting on 21/50 3-point attempts (42%). That number is significantly higher than their season average of 37.1% and what the Heat allow on the season at 35.8%. Both teams have played fast all season long, but their pace numbers have been slowing in recent weeks. Both teams are near average on the season in offensive efficiency with the Heat ranking 13th in offensive efficiency, the Hawks are 14th. Both are better defensively with the Hawks ranking 8th in dEFF, the Heat rank 12th. Given the history of this series with 10 straight games finishing with 242 or less points and the playoff intensity, we expect a lower scoring affair in the low 230’s. Our model is projecting 232.3. Bet UNDER.

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!
