College Baseball: #5 Baton Rouge and #12 Lexington Regionals
We have made it to the NCAA Tournament where we will be previewing all of the NCAA Regionals giving as much information as possible. The articles will paired with the regionals that would match up in Supers. We will have wagers throughout the weekend and futures plays for the World Series and Regional winners if they post them. Our wagers are betting 1 unit to win x and for baseball we do not go lower than -165. This is a steep price but there are opportunities where the number should be -200 so this is why that is our limit. Check out our home page where all the regional handicaps will be daily.
NCAA Tournament Record (0.00 units)
Baton Rouge Regional
2:00pm cst: #4 Tulane Green Wave (+440) vs. #1 LSU Tigers (-625)
Tulane did not have a great season but got hot at the right time winning the American tournament. Tulane faced LSU early in the season and lost 6 to 11 in Baton Rouge. I expect more of the same to happen today with plenty of runs on the board. I do not think Paul Skenes is pitching today for the Tigers. I expect him to go in Game 2.
Pick: Over 13.5 Runs (-115) (via Draft Kings)
7:00pm cst: #3 Sam Houston State Bearkats (+135) vs. #2 Oregon State Beavers (-165)
This SHSU offense had an incredible run offensively in the WAC tournament scoring runs galore. Oregon State has been good all year but I’m not too sure I can back them with the way Sam Houston State is playing right now. This game is also in Baton Rouge so no home turf advantage for the Beavers. Give me that Bearkat offense.
Pick: Sam Houston State (+135)
Lexington Regional
11:00am cst: #4 Ball State Cardinals (+255) vs. #1 Kentucky Wildcats (-325)
There have been plenty of complaining about the Lexington Regional and teams having to sleep in dorms so there is no telling how these teams have been sleeping to get ready for these games. Kentucky has a good team this season and they have the chance to make some noise this weekend. I like runs in this game.
Pick: Over 11 Runs (-115) (via Draft Kings)
6:00pm cst: #3 Indiana Hoosiers (+120) vs. #2 West Virginia Mountaineers (-150)
Both of these teams finished the season very lackluster. West Virginia shared a piece of the Big 12 regular season title but played terribly in the Big 12 tournament. Indiana also had a bad Big 10 tournament outing. If I am going to back a team here it is going to be WVU. I was actually surprised that Indiana got into the tournament.
Pick: West Virginia (-150)
College World Series Futures (0-0):
Sam Houston State 200/1 (via Draft Kings)
We will be choosing a College World Series winner out of these groupings so a total of 8. This will be monitored throughout the weekend and updated.
Ok so let’s be real here. LSU is the best team in these regionals but they are 8/1 to win the National Championship. That does not leave us with much wiggle room. Kentucky is 30/1 and definitely has a shot at coming out of Supers. For me the best way to go for a lotto is this Sam Houston State team whose offense is red hot and if they keep it going they can beat anyone. At 200/1 that is where I want my money.
