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

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 Over the Total in the game between Illinois and UConn in the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament. Illinois (28-8) has won six of their last seven games after their 71-59 victory against Iowa as a 6.5-point favorite in the Elite Eight last Saturday. The Fighting Illini have played 8 straight Overs after a double-digit win against a fellow Big Ten rival. They have also played 28 of their last 34 games Over the Total on the road after beating a Big Ten opponent. UConn (33-5) has won six of their last seven games after their 73-72 upset victory against Duke as a 4.5-point underdog in their Elite Eight game on Sunday. The Huskies have played 7 of their last 10 games on the road Over the Total after winning three or more games in a row. They have also played 8 of their last 12 games Over the Total after pulling off an upset victory. Take the Over. Best of luck — Frank.

Frank Sawyer’s Hollywood Sports is on a 16 of 22 (73%) CBB Game of the Year/Month sides run after DELIVERING their 25* CBB Game of the Month on Michigan with their 33-point victory last Sunday! Frank is on a 17 of 24 (71%) college basketball streak — and now he furthers his 7 of 10 (70%) CBB Game of the Year mark with his 25* College Basketball Game of the Year for one of the two Final Four games on Saturday! DO NOT MISS OUT!

Play on: UNDER 140 -110
Game Analysis

UNDER 140

UCONN and Illinois meet in the Final 4 and the under is worth a move. UConn’s defense has been a difference maker all season and especially in the tournament. They shut down shooters and they’re one of the best defensive rebounding teams. They’re going to set the tone earlier and force Illinois into a much slower game than they’d like. This is going to be a half court type of game with both teams slowing the tempo down. 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 140. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

Game Analysis

For my best free pick on the board here on board I am looking at the big college basketball game Illinois battling the UCONN Huskies. Sure UCONN has the pedigree and the better record but this Illinois team came on hot and heavy in the second half and played in the much tougher BIG TEN conference. UCONN beat this team and embarrassed them in November revenge gets served here on Saturday night.

Play on Illinois lay the points rotation #649

MLB | Rays vs Twins
Play on: Rays -101 at betonline
Game Analysis

Jack's Free Pick Saturday: Tampa Bay Rays -101

This is a good time to 'buy low' on the Tampa Bay Rays at even money against the Minnesota Twins tonight.  The Rays are coming off three consecutive losses and will be highly motivated for a victory in this one.  I still believe the Rays will be a factor in the AL East this season.

The Minnesota Twins are one of the worst teams in baseball.  But they are coming off two consecutive wins, so this is a good time to 'sell high' on them.  They have one of the worst lineups in baseball, and now one of the key guys they were relying on in Byron Buxton is already injured.

Steven Matz went 5-2 with a 3.05 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 76 2/3 innings last season between the Cardinals and Red Sox.  He pitched 11 shutout innings in spring training.  Matz had a rough 1st start this season in St. Louis, but it was hot with the wind blowing out.  Conditions are much more favorable for him here with temps in the 30's in Minnesota.

Mick Abel has gone 3-5 with a 6.80 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in his career.  He has allowed 32 earned runs and 8 homers in 42 1/3 innings.  Abel allowed 5 earned runs and 9 base runners in 3 1/3 innings to the Orioles in his lone action thus far in 2026.  Bet the Rays Saturday.

Game Analysis

1* Free Pick on Illinois -125

Illinois enters this Final Four matchup with the most efficient offense in the entire country. They are averaging over 84 points per game and have looked unstoppable during this tournament run.

The biggest edge in this game is found on the glass where Illinois is a legitimate monster. The Illini have posted a massive +16.3 rebounding margin through four tournament games.

UConn is barely a top-100 rebounding team and they were bullied inside during their November meeting. While the Huskies won that early game, Illinois has completely transformed its frontcourt rotation since then.

The Huskies are also limping into Indianapolis with some serious backcourt health concerns. Silas Demary Jr. is trying to play through a Grade 2 high ankle sprain and is clearly not at full strength.

Starting guard Solo Ball is dealing with a chronic wrist injury on his shooting hand that has ruined his perimeter accuracy. His three-point percentage has plummeted from 41 percent last year to just 29 percent this season.

Illinois has the size to punish these physical vulnerabilities with David Mirkovic and 7-foot-1 Tomislav Ivisic. Mirkovic is averaging a double-double in the tournament and will be a handful for Tarris Reed Jr. to manage alone.

UConn depends heavily on their defensive structure, but they cannot stop an Illinois team that is first in the nation in offensive rating. The Illini don't beat themselves with turnovers and they hunt high-quality looks on every possession.

This is a massive revenge spot for an Illinois program that has been eliminated by the Huskies twice in the last two years. The depth and health of the Illini will be the deciding factor in the final ten minutes.

I like the Illinois ML (-125).

Dave's Saturday Free Play:

1* on San Francisco Giants ML +101

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the San Francisco Giants tonight as home underdogs to the New York Mets.  The Mets lost Alonso and Nimmo in the offseason, and now Juan Soto came up limp with calf tightness last night and is unlikely to play today.  This New York lineup is one of the worst in MLB without Soto.  Landen Roupp went 6 shutout innings with 7 strikeouts in a 3-2 win over the Padres in his 1st start this year.  Clay Holmes has yielded 8 ER in 7 2/3 innings in his last 2 starts against the Giants.  Take San Francisco.

Soccer | UNAM Pumas vs Guadalajara
Play on: OVER 2½ -140
Game Analysis

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Liga MX Take Guadalajara/Pumas UNAM OVER 2.5 (10 p.m. EST, Sunday April 5) Guadalajara Chivas have been one of the top defensive sides in Liga MX this season but they showed some cracks defensively last week at Monterrey, where they allowed two goals. It would be tough to keep up the defensive numbers they have earned this season, especially as we near the postseason and some teams are playing their best. One of those sides is Pumas UNAM, now fourth on the table and the third best side for goals scored league wide. They have now scored in 18 straight matches across all competitions, and they will be ready to compete here and make up some ground on No. 1 Chivas. Guadalajara leads the league in goals scored with 25 through 12 matches, so they are averaging more than two per match. Just looking at the odds, Guadalajara is a heavy favorite and very likely to win, but it’s hard to imagine Pumas getting shut out considering their long streak of matches where they scored. Chivas won 2-1 last time these sides met, in October in Mexico City. We think they can do even better at home and Pumas will not be a pushover here. Nice value on the over even when laying some juice.

Free Play – Take #652 Arizona +1.5 over Michigan (8:49 p.m. ET, Saturday, Apr. 4)

With Michigan a more dominating outfit, Arizona is a modest underdog in the semis. What makes Arizona so tough is its diversity on offense, not relying on the same player or two to score, but having various players heating up in any contest and wisely feeding the hot hand as they do in the NBA. Arizona’s defense is every bit as good as Michigan's, which is what separates them from previous quality ‘Cats clubs that could score, just not defend in the same manner. You want slow ‘Zona down; however, they can play that way, then they hit you with a 10-0 spurt, and the game is over. This should be a tremendous contest, but I like that the Wildcats are 10-1 ATS vs. top-caliber teams, outscoring their opponents by 12+ points a game.
