Cashing Out | April 2, 2026 | Hour 2

In this episode of Cashing Out, host Dustin Swedelson dives deep into the NCAA Final Four, featuring expert analysis from DraftKings Sportsbook's Tanner Kern and former Oregon State head coach Wayne Tinkle. The discussion centers on the high-stakes matchups between Michigan and Arizona, and Illinois versus UConn, with both coaches and analysts weighing in on team strengths, player performances, and strategic nuances. Tinkle provides a coach’s perspective on how teams adapt to unique venues like football stadiums, while Kern emphasizes UConn’s resilience and Michigan’s balanced roster. The episode also covers a struggling Boston Red Sox team, with Tanner Kern calling the season 'over' due to offensive failures and poor roster additions. In baseball, the focus shifts to early-season pitching performances, with standout outings from Cam Schlittler and Kevin Gossman sparking a Cy Young Award market shift. The show concludes with a strong push for tax relief for gamblers via sponsor Francetic Tax Resolution, reminding listeners that winning bets come with IRS responsibilities. Key takeaways include: 1) UConn’s out-of-conference schedule and mental toughness make them a dark horse in the Final Four; 2) Michigan’s depth and transfer portal success give them an edge over Arizona; 3) The Boston Red Sox are in crisis mode due to lack of offensive production and poor offseason moves; 4) Kevin Gossman’s dominant early-season stats make him a massive value at 50-1 for Cy Young; 5) The Yankees’ pitching staff is underperforming the market, with a strong case for them being the second-best team in baseball. The overall sentiment is cautiously optimistic, with a focus on strategic betting and long-term value in both college basketball and MLB.
