FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR SATURDAY, 4/25:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Saturday is with the Atlanta Braves with the money-line versus the Philadelphia Phillies listing both starting pitchers Bryce Elder and Zack Wheeler. Atlanta (19-8) has won nine of their last ten games after their 5-3 victory against the Phillies last night. The Braves have won 9 of their 13 games at home this season. They have also won 9 of their last 11 games against fellow NL East rivals. Philadelphia (8-18) has lost ten games in a row — and they have lost 10 of their last 12 games after losing two or more games in a row. The Phillies have also lost 11 of their last 14 games teams with a winning record. Take Atlanta with the money-line listing both starting pitchers. Best of luck — Frank.

UNDER 229.5

Denver and Minnesota meet in Game 3 and this is a good under spot. These two teams have played such a physical series up to this point and they’re going to come right at each other with the same intensity again in Game 4. We’ve seen that lead to a lot of tough possessions and both teams struggle to generate open looks. Expect this game to have the defensive pressure on both ends turned up even more as this game can swing the series one way or the other. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Tonight’s FREE selection is a strong lean on the UNDER to 228. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

This weekend’s UFC Fight Night at the Apex has that familiar mix of rising stars and grizzled vets, but if I’m digging for the smartest underdog play on the whole card, I’m all in on Raoni Barcelos against Montel Jackson. I’ve been betting these cards long enough to spot when the lines are sleeping on a veteran who just keeps proving people wrong, and Barcelos fits that bill perfectly right now.

The 38-year-old Brazilian is rolling into this one on a rock-solid four-fight win streak. He’s already knocked off names like Ricky Simon and Cody Garbrandt, and who could forget him shocking the world with that gritty upset over hyped prospect Payton Talbott when basically everyone had him as a massive dog? That’s not luck, that’s a guy who’s figured out how to win the ugly, effective way late in his career. He brings serious wrestling roots as a multi-time Brazilian national champ, mixing in persistent chain takedowns with enough striking to keep opponents honest. In a division where control time and grinding out rounds have become the great equalizer, Barcelos is built for exactly that.

Jackson, on the other hand, is the classic athletic specimen who gets fans fired up. Taller, longer reach, legitimate one-punch knockout power, he’s the flashy striker who can end things quick if you let him. But here’s the angle that has me chuckling and reaching for the plus money: we’ve seen this movie before in bantamweight. Athletic power punchers like Jackson have been getting neutralized more and more lately when veteran grapplers close the distance and drag them into the mud. Jackson’s shown real vulnerability whenever someone chains wrestling and controls the pace on the mat, and that’s precisely Barcelos’ wheelhouse. The Brazilian doesn’t need to be the bigger or faster guy; he just needs to be smarter, and his recent form screams that he’s peaking at the right time.

What makes this even sharper is the broader trend we’ve watched unfold in the lighter divisions over the past couple years. Underdog grapplers and wrestlers have been cashing at a noticeably higher clip against pure strikers, especially when the favorite relies on athleticism and highlight-reel power. The public loves chasing the knockout artist, but time and again the experienced chain-wrestler spoils the party by turning the fight into a slow, methodical chess match. Bantamweight bouts have a habit of going the distance anyway, and that plays right into Barcelos’ hands—he’s the guy who thrives when things get ugly and decisions matter.

Sure, Jackson might come out looking like he could bench-press half the Apex crowd, but once Barcelos shoots in and starts dictating where the fight happens, all that extra size and explosiveness just turns into dead weight on the canvas. It’s almost comical how often these mismatches flip the script when the veteran knows how to weather the early storm and grind it out over three rounds.

There are a couple other live dogs on the card worth a peek, Aljamain Sterling bringing that crafty ex-champ IQ in the main event, or Joselyne Edwards swinging for the fences in the women’s spot, but Barcelos stands out as the cleanest stylistic edge at plus money. This one just has that sneaky “I’ve seen this before” vibe where the old dog reminds everyone that experience and mat control still rule the day. If you’re building a card this weekend, make sure the Brazilian vet is near the top of your list. Should be a fun one when the veteran magic kicks in.

Free Play – Take #919 Edmonton -126 over Anaheim (9:30 p.m. ET, Sunday, April 26)

Does Anaheim have Edmonton right where they want them, at home with 2-1 series lead, with the only loss coming with less than two minutes left of Game 1 in Western Canada. The Oilers only nipped the Ducks by a point in the same division and actually had two fewer wins than Anaheim. There has been little defense in this series with three OVERs, and the Ducks have scored six and seven goals in winning the last two games. Nonetheless, home underdogs of +100 to +200, allowing 2.85+ goals a game, after scoring five goals or more in two straight games, are 10-54 in their next outing.
