FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR THURSDAY, 4/9:

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 the Masters is on Robert MacIntyre versus Russell Henley in Tournament Matchup head-to-head props. MacIntyre followed up his fourth place finish at THE PLAYERS Championship last month with a second place finish last week at the PGA Valero Texas Open. The Scotsman has an intriguing skill set of being long off-the-tee and great with his putter. He ranks ninth on the PGA  Tour in Shots-Gained: Off-the-Tee and fourth in Shots-Gained: Putting this season. His play with his irons have been improving which makes him very dangerous this week. He has two top 25 finishes at Augusta National — and his last three major championships, he has posted a second place, a tie for seventh place and a fourth place finish. MacIntyre is linked with Russell Henley in Tournament Matchup head-to-head props. Henley missed the cut last week at the Valero Texas Open which is concerning because it was the second time in his last four PGA events where he missed the cut. Henley is usually elite with his irons but after ranking 13th on the PGA Tour in Shots-Gained: Approach the Green last year, he has dropped to 47th in that metric this season. After ranking seventh on the tour last year in Shots-Gained: Around the Green, he has also dropped to 42nd in that category this year. Those are both bad signs for a pro that is not long with his driver and ranks 71st this season in Shots-Gained: Off-the-Tee. Henley finished in a tie for fourth place at the Masters in 2023 — but it was his only top ten result in nine visits to Augusta National. He missed the cut here last April. Take MacIntyre (7027) versus Henley (7028) in Tournament Matchup head-to-head props. Best of luck — Frank.

Soccer | Bayern Munich vs St. Pauli
Play on: Bayern Munich -1½ +100 at betus
Game Analysis

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. German Bundesliga Take Bayern Munich -1.5 GL over St. Pauli (12:30 p.m. EST, Saturday April 11) Bayern Munich is one of the best offensive sides in the world and if they are on their game they can win by multiple goals at home or on the road. These sides haven’t played many times but Bayern one of two lifetime meetings here 8-1. We don’t think this will be that lopsided of a contest, but this one is definitely a mismatch. Bayern Munich is the top road side in the Bundesliga as they haven’t lost all season with 11 wins, 3 draws and a +30 goal differential in 14 matches. So, they are winning their road matches by an average of more than two goals per match. St. Pauli is in the bottom four for home results this season and have a -6 goal differential here. Bayern Munich doesn’t take it easy on bad sides, and they should unleash their full arsenal here. The most excitement St. Pauli might get is autographs from the Munich players before the match! Get on this line easy as Bayern Munich is a very public side and will be bet up during the week.

NHL | Flyers vs Red Wings
Play on: Flyers +105 at betonline
Game Analysis

My selection is on Philadelphia over Detroit at 7:05 pm et on Thursday.

The Flyers are as hot as any team in the league right now, clicking at the right time as they look to secure a playoff spot in the crowded Eastern Conference. Not only have their put themselves in playoff position but they currently sit in third place in the Metropolitan Division, which would likely set up a first round matchup against the in-state rival Penguins. I think that's certainly the matchup they would want rather than facing one of the top two seeds. Philadelphia heads to Detroit on Thursday and it figure to be catching the reeling Red Wings at the right time. Detroit is still in the playoff hunt but pretty much in desperation mode on the heels of three straight losses and a miserable 2-7 over its last nine contests. The Wings did skate to a 4-2 win in Philadelphia one week ago tonight but since then, the Flyers have gone on a tear, winning three games in a row while allowing a grand total of just three goals. Philadelphia owns an impressive 22-17-4 record away from home this season, outscoring opponents by 0.1 goals on average. Take Philadelphia (8*).
