ASA Wins

#959 ASA TOP PLAY ON Miami Marlins Run Line -1.5 (-105) over Colorado Rockies, Wednesday at 8:40 PM ET - The Marlins have won the first two games of this 4-game series by a combined score of 24-10 and we look for their surge to continue Wednesday!  Miami just wrapped up a fantastic June in which they won 20 of 26 games.  This is definitely a case of two teams going opposite directions as the Rockies have won just 9 of 24 games since early June and they enter this game Wednesday evening on a 3-game losing streak.  Not only is this a case of hot versus not, we also have long-term numbers to support this play as well as a strong pitching edge and that includes the bullpen edge too.  First off, the Rockies are 14-39 when facing a team that currently has a winning record on the season!  Colorado is 6-14 versus NL East teams this season while the Marlins are 14-3 against NL West teams this season.  The Marlins slugging percentage versus lefties is respectable and they rank 12th out of all 30 MLB teams in that category.  Thursday they face a struggling southpaw as Kyle Freeland has consistently been getting rocked this season.  He has been hit hard in 10 of his last 11 starts.  In fact, Freeland allowed 54 earned runs in 49 innings over those 10 outings!  The Marlins are so hot right now that we expect he will get pounded again here.  Also there is a big bullpen edge here with the Marlins ERA ranking 5th in the majors while the Rockies rank 28th out of 30 teams!  As for Marlins starter Max Meyer, he is 9-0 with a 2.60 ERA this season.  Yes, 9-0!  Also, Meyer went 4-0 in May while holding opponents to a .185 batting average and then he went 4-0 in June while compiling a 1.78 ERA!  As you can see, this game is a mismatch all the way around!  Lay the 1.5 runs with Miami in evening action Wednesday. 

2026 FIFA World Cup, Round of 32: - #225529/225530 ASA PLAY ON Under 2.5 Goals (-120) – England vs Congo DR, Wednesday at 12 PM ET - Congo DR has frustrated opponents including quality ones like Colombia and Portugal in this World Cup.  That is why they have allowed only 1 goal in each of their 3 matches.  England is a heavy favorite here and while we do expect them to prevail, we would not be surprised to see a 1-0 final (or max of 2-0) here in this early Wednesday match-up.  England is off a 2-0 win over Panama after a scoreless draw with Ghana.  All signs point to a 3rd straight clean sheet for England as Congo DR plays a very defensive style and also does not possess the quality attackers to pose much of a threat to the back line of England.  At the same time, we trust the 5-man defensive structure of Congo DR to again frustrate another quality opponent for the majority of the match.  Take the Under here in the England / Congo DR match very early Wednesday.
