College Baseball: #1 Winston-Salem and #16 Tuscaloosa Regionals: Day 2

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 (-4.14 units)

Winston-Salem Regional

  • 11:00am cst: #3 Northeastern Huskies (-500) vs. #4 George Mason Patriots (+370)

The Huskies are a very capable team here to cover the run line of -4.5 but with a price point of (-120) I can’t play that nor recommend it. There is nothing that I like here as I spoke about yesterday, George Mason got on a hot run to win the A-10 but is not necessarily a great team. Pass.

Pick: None

  • 5:00pm cst: #2 Maryland Terrapins (+210) vs. #1 Wake Forest Demon Deacons (-265)

We get the matchup we were expecting and waiting for. Wake Forest is laying a huge price here that I disagree with. Not only because we are invested in Maryland but this Terrapin team can compete with anyone in the country. Wake Forest was only leading by 4 runs until the 7th inning when they finally pulled away from George Mason. The total is set at 10.5 and I lean over. I am still going with the Terps here.

Pick: Maryland (+210)

Tuscaloosa Regional

  • 2:00pm cst: #4 Nicholls State Colonels (+165) vs. #2 Boston College Golden Eagles (-205)

Boston College’s game against Troy had a pretty lengthy rain delay when the game was tied 3-3. Then the offense broke out and BC took the loss. Nicholls almost defeated Bama but fell short late. I do not want to lay the runs with BC. I think this one goes under after a huge offensive game from BC.

Pick: Under 12.5 (-115)

  • 6:00pm cst: #3 Troy Trojans vs. Alabama Crimson Tide

Alabama’s ex-coach was caught gambing on their games so every Bama game is Off The Board. No play.

Pick: None

College World Series Futures (0-0):

  • Maryland 100/1 (via Draft Kings) [6/2/23]

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.

As we discussed above, I feel like Wake Forest is going to flame out like Tennessee did last season. Maryland is a very hot team that is very capable of stealing this regional. I don’t have much faith in Boston College and we cannot bet on Bama. Wake Forest number is so short it is not worth it in a 64 team tournament. The Terps have a great number and are on fire.
