    Scouting report for State Championship Saturday

    It's State Championship Saturday. Hayfield will play Hancock at 1 p.m. at the Target Center for the Class A crown. Waseca and Caledonia will clash in the Class AA finals at 3 p.m. Sports reporter Isaac Trotter broke down the film for Hancock and Waseca. Stay tuned for a in-depth look at each starter and what they will bring on the floor. Can Ethan Slaathaug and Isaac Matti lead the Vikings to their first state title? Waseca is stockpiled with elite talent, but Caledonia is playing exceptional basketball. Even without Eli King, the Warriors have a chance to win a title. They'll need their top-6 guys to keep playing at a high level if they want to pull it off.

    MLB Mega Preview with Jake Hasan

    Chicago's 670 The Score Producer Jake Hasan joins Isaac Trotter to look ahead to the glorious start of baseball season and break down X-Factors for every single team. Highly-touted prospect Alex Kirilloff is not going to start Opening Day with the Twins, but he'll be a major factor down the stretch. Christian Yelich getting back to MVP form would be huge for the Brewers' hopes, but they also need another pair of outfielders to step up. Could the Royals be potentially in the mix for a little rise thanks to their young pitching? And what do the Cubs do with Kris Bryant? And will the Cardinals be able to survive losses to Dakota Hudson and Miles Mikolas? To wrap up the show, Jake and Isaac take a look at a few overs and unders that could potentially be valuable and Jacob DeGrom's longshot MVP odds.
