College Baseball 2025 Record: (0-0) (0.00 Units)
11:00AM CST: Clemson Tigers (-145) vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys (+114); Total 10.5
I’m expecting Clemson to have a strong team this season. That comes as no surprise. In today’s game though, I prefer the Oklahoma State pitching. We are getting a nice price for RHP Gabe Davis. It’s early in the season so we are taking the plus money with two good teams.
Play: Oklahoma State (+114) [via DraftKings]
12:00PM CST: Virginia Cavaliers (-360) vs. Michigan Wolverines (+260); Total 13.5
This game will be played in Puerto Rico. The Cavaliers are coming in as huge favorites without their ace Evan Blanco on the mound. Michigan will be starting one of their best pitchers, RHP Dylan Vigue. The Wolverines have enough talent to win this game. Without knowing more, I’ll take the 3.5 runs with Michigan.
Play: Michigan +3.5 (-115) [via DraftKings]
3:00PM CST: Arizona Wildcats (-110) vs. Ole Miss Rebels (-120); Total 10.5
This feels like an evenly matched game with an interesting pitching matchup. Arizona will start Baylor transfer RHP Collin McKinney against Ole Miss’ LHP Hunter Elliott who hasn’t pitched in two years. McKinnye had an ERA over 6 last year. Although, Elliott hasn’t pitched in two years, he still comes in as a preseason 2nd team All-SEC pitcher. I’m backing the Rebs.
Play: Ole Miss (-120) [via DraftKings]
3:00PM CST: Penn State (+114) vs. Missouri Tigers (-145); Total 12.5
This Penn State team is on an upward trajectory with their new manager starting his second season. Last Year Penn State made it to the Big Ten Championship. This game will be played in Puerto Rico. I prefer this up and coming Nittany Lions team who will have the better pitcher and possibly the better team. I’m backing Mason Horwat here.
Play: Penn State (+114) [via DraftKings]
7:00PM CST: Vanderbilt Commodores (-188) vs. Grand Canyon Antelopes (+145); Total 11.5
This should be another great matchup. We know Vanderbilt is always going to have a strong team but the ‘Lopes bring back a ton of talent from last season and will be ready to go toe-to-toe with the Vandy Boys.
Play: Grand Canyon (+145) [via DraftKings]
7:00PM CST: Louisville Cardinals (+135) vs. Texas Longhorns (-175); Total 10.5
Texas will be ushering in the Jim Schlossnagle era in Austin. It starts with a tough matchup against Louisville in Arlington. Both teams will have a good amount of new players on each roster. I do like the pitchers in this matchup though. I think this one stays UNDER the total.
Play: UNDER 10.5 (-105) [via DraftKings]
7:00PM CST: Cal Poly Mustangs (+110) vs. UCLA Bruins (-140); Total 9.5
Low total here with Cal Poly having its ace on the mound, RHP Griffin Naess. UCLA will have RHP Cody Delvecchio but last year he was just an opener. I was hoping to get a better price here with the Mustangs but these dogs love to bark in Game 1. I’ll take a shot.
Play: Mustangs (+110) [via DraftKings]
