ASA MLB free bet June 11

ASA play on: UNDER 8.5 Miami Marlins @ Houston Astros, 4:10PM ET

We don’t see many runs being scored in today’s game between the Marlins and Astros and will bet UNDER here. Even though Houston is one of better teams in league at 36-22 and 1st in the A.L. West, they don’t average a lot of runs per game (23rd at 4.10RPG) and hits per game (21st). Houston is facing a pitcher they haven’t seen before in lefty Braxton Garrett, not to mention they average hit just .222 against lefties which ranks 26th in MLB. Houston will go with starting pitcher Framber Valdez who is 6-2 with an ERA of 2.61 which is 14th best in the league. The Astros have won his last 6 starts and he’s given up just 12 runs on 35 total hits. Even in his 2 most recent losses he pitched well giving up only 3 earned runs on 6 hits in 12.1 innings pitched. Miami is 11th in runs per game at 4.52 but don’t hit lefties well at all with the worst OBP% and a team batting average of .206 which is also last in MLB. The Marlins have had a few higher scoring games, but they came against Washington and at Colorado who rank 29th and 30th in runs allowed per game this season. The Astros are 2nd in the league allowing just 3.38 runs per game with their best pitcher on the mound. Bet Under.

Scott “The Bulldog” Rickenbach Sunday Free Pick OVER 9 in Cincinnati Reds vs Washington Nationals @ 1:40 ET – The Nationals won 10-8 over the Reds yesterday as both these teams continue to give up piles of runs. Only Colorado (and remember their home games in the thin air of Denver!) have allowed more runs this season than Washington and Cincinnati have. Look for another wild one this afternoon in Cincinnati. The Nats Corbin is having an awful season including 0-4 with 8.17 ERA in road games this season. Luis Castillo has been pitching well for the Reds lately but does have a 4.65 ERA in his two home starts this season. He is 0-4 with a 4.94 ERA against the Nationals also in his five career starts against them. Over is 17-7 in Reds home games this season and 17-8 in Nats games this season. Free Pick OVER 9 in Cincinnati.

Scott “The Bulldog” Rickenbach MLB Free Pick UNDER 7.5 in Pittsburgh Pirates vs Colorado Rockies @ 12:35 ET – Not too concerned with the starting pitchers here. Play this one with action on the pitchers. This play is more about the fact that the Rockies are scoring an average of only 2.5 runs per game this season on the road. The Pirates have scored only 2 runs per game their last dozen games. Look for another low-scoring battle in this one as a result. Only 8 of the Pirates 24 home games have resulted in an over this season so just 1/3 of them. Free Pick UNDER 7.5 in Pittsburgh

Rickenbach MLB Free bet May 9

Scott “The Bulldog” Rickenbach MLB Monday Free Pick Milwaukee Brewers Money Line -162 @ Cincinnati Reds @ 6:40 ET – The Reds got just their 5th win of the season yesterday. Cincinnati is 0-4 this season when off a win! Castillo is starting and is a solid pitcher but it is his first start of the season coming back from injury. Woodruff has been piling up the strikeouts for Milwaukee and he should dominate in this outing. Brewers are off B2B losses but had won 9 of 10 before that. Milwaukee has yet to lose 3 straight games this season and I don’t see that changing here either. Free Pick MILWAUKEE.

Kentucky Derby bet 2022

#10 Zandon at 3/1 odds

Who’d thought after the Blue Grass win, he’d be the morning line favorite in the Kentucky Derby at 3/1!

I texted a buddy a few weeks back and said you think Zandon will be less than 9/1 come Kentucky Derby, we both said yes around 5/6-1, I didn’t BITE and what a NUT kick now as Mike B., post him at 3/1!! Not let’s get down to business on Zandon, we CASHED big on him in the Blue Grass and our write-up and logic was spot on that afternoon.

Chad has babied this colt, one glaring thing I noticed last year, was going from that maiden win to the 1 1/8th Remsen, also not in those two races, he was a stalker and not a stone cold closer as he’s been as a 3yo.

Zandon’s stride is something remarkable and it’s really been on display of late in the mornings after his big Blue Grass win. He was right back working just 14 days after his big win in the Blue Grass and our “Keeneland Contact” stated his 48.3 work looked like a 46 flat and they couldn’t believe their watch that morning.

They stated he was “Under STOUT restraint” for 3/8th and finished like a beast! He then came right back 6 days later at Churchill and was even more impressive and that work has made him the morning line favorite for the Kentucky Derby.

He had no shot in the Risen Star when facing Epicenter for the first time, he was coming into that race off a 70+ days and shipping into NOLA without a comeback effort going 1 1/8th off works is tough to do.

Zandon then hopped at the start to put himself at a further disadvantage, but he did come with a powerful late run and got up for the show money as Smile Happy finished a half-length in front of Zando at the wire.

Risen Star Internal Fractions Internal Fractions first 1/4 mile — :24.15 second 1/4 mile — :24.92 third 1/4 mile — :24.18 fourth 1/4 mile — :24.33 final 1/8 mile — :12.10 final 3/8 mile — :36.43 – SERIOUS TURN OF FOOT

They decided to bypass the La. Derby and shipped into Lexington for the Blue Grass Stakes and Zandon ran that afternoon to our expectations! He gobbled up that field with ease and passed Smile Happy down the lane, like he was tied to the rail! The second most impressive win, we’ve seen during the Triple Crown prep races.

Blue Grass Internal Fractions Internal Fractions first 1/4 mile — :25.04 second 1/4 mile — :24.25 third 1/4 mile — :24.48 fourth 1/4 mile — :24.29 final 1/8 mile — :12.29 final 3/8 mile — :36.58 – Another serious finish!!!

No one was CLOSE to him on the gallop out! This is one serious colt and Chad has babied him since the Remsen, one big eye catcher from our POV, he wintered at Payson Park and that is a very deep surface and you can get fit big time when you continuously work over that surface.

Chad not once, ever thought about entering Zandon at Gulfstream Park, just right down the road, he decides to ship into the Big Easy for the Risen Star back to Payson and then ships to Lexington for the Blue Grass Stakes. He bypassed Florida all together with this colt as he knew he could get him fit working him at Payson and wanted to get two 1 1/8th races under his belt, before the Kentucky Derby.

Here’s a quote form Chad Brown about Zandon, after the Remsen! Chad Brown said, “As you know, I have NEVER stretched a horse out that far off just one six-furlong race, but this horse is freaky good and can win the Derby.” Zandon’s Thorograph projections is a beautiful site for those that use them as their speed # bible.

ZANDON #’S – “6 ½” to “4 ½” to “2 ½” to “1 ½
