ASA WNBA play on Seattle Storm +1.5 vs. Chicago Sky, 10 pm ET - The opening number is telling you exactly which team to bet and that’s the Storm. Chicago is playing above expectations right now, Seattle has lost 11-straight games, yet the Storm opened as the favorite. The Sky will be playing their first road game in nearly a month and are coming off a demanding game against the Fever which was filled with the drama of Carrington taking a cheap shot (not her first) on Sophia Cunningham. Seattle’s not as bad as this long losing streak suggests and they’ve faced a gauntlet of the league’s top teams including the Liberty twice, Dream (2x), Fever (2x), Lynx (2x) and Washington. Also included in that current losing streak is a loss in Chicago as a +2.5-point dog which means they should be a much bigger favorite in this game. The difference in the strength of schedule makes it difficult to find statistical support for the Storm right now, but this number and the betting markets are clearly indicating the play is on Seattle tonight. The Storm have a negative average scoring differential at home this season of -0.9ppg but that’s better than the Sky’s road average MOV of -4.9ppg. Seattle has won 5 of the last seven meetings and you can bet they’ll make it 6/8 after tonight.

#957 ASA PLAY ON Milwaukee Brewers -110 over San Diego Padres, Monday at 9:40 PM ET - The Brewers got a tight win yesterday and have won 15 of 22 games since the All-Star break.  The Padres have also been on a decent run yet they are still only a mediocre 19-20 since late June.  Also, San Diego has a big question mark on the mound tonight with Casey Mize expected to get the call.  Mize was recently acquired from Detroit and he is off an awful outing in his Padres debut.  Mize allowed 8 earned runs in 3 and 1/3 innings and now has the added pressure tonight of making his first home start as a Padre after such a disastrous start in a San Diego uniform.  The Brewers' Logan Henderson, on the other hand, continues to be very consistent!  The Milwaukee hurler has now made 15 career starts and has gone 9-1 with a 2.39 ERA and he has held opponents to a .191 batting average.  Henderson has an edge here in that the Padres do not have any experience against him.  As for Mize, he is facing a team that has 11 batters with a combined 39 at-bats of experience against him.  This includes guys like Chourio, Turang, Yelich, Hamilton and Lockridge.  They are a combined 7 for 13 against Mize.  When facing teams that currently have a winning record on the season, the Brewers are a fantastic 38-17 while the Padres are a disappointing 26-38.  San Diego is 35-40 in night games this season while Milwaukee is 47-25 under the lights.  Brewers as a small favorite here offer exceptional value for Monday night baseball. 

Sweden Allsvenskan - #207525 ASA PLAY ON Djurgardens IF -120 at Vasteras SK, Monday at 1 ET - Djurgardens IF have been hot since returning from the break with 4 wins and 1 draw and an aggregate score of 14 to 2 in the 5 matches.  We like the low money line price here on offer in a match where we get value since the better club is on the road.  Vasteras SK would certainly like revenge for last week's blowout loss at the home of Djurgardens IF but the fact is they have been dominated in this series.  Simply put, Vasteras SK does not match up well with this club and, as a result, another rout is expected here.  Vasteras SK have lost the last 3 league meetings by a combined score of 10 to 1.  Another loss looms large for them Monday afternoon as the road team rolls in this one.
