1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: The Big Bets on Campus Podcast podcast PODCA. 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 2: All right, here we go. 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 3: Every pitch is your pitch. The greatest show on dirt, deep. 4 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 4: To left field, way back the god. 5 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 2: What is that show? 6 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 3: Now they can add college baseball to their trophy case. 7 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Big Bets on Campus Podcast, brought to 8 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: you by bet MGM. I'm Mike Calabrey's I am joined 9 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: by our collegiate baseball devote that's Colin Wilson. He is 10 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 1: our warrior on the diamond and just right off the bat, Colin, 11 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: I gotta share that I feel your pain as someone 12 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: who covers college basketball for the entire season, not just 13 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: during March Madness. A lot of people like to poke 14 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: their head into the world of college basketball. Say, I'm 15 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: March seventh. I need to know what's going on. Who 16 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: should I be betting, who's who's not, who's overrated? So 17 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: you have to carry that weight, and in this case, 18 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: you're carrying a lot of baseball bats. Here, you're swinging 19 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: the doughnuts for everybody else. But that means that you're 20 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: in mid season form already. So when we parachute into 21 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: our College World Series preview and get into the NCAA 22 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: tournament on the diamond. You have all the answers for US, Colin, 23 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: how you do it? 24 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 2: I'm doing great. I mean from a betting perspective, a 25 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 2: huge weekend, winning a ton of the series, way more series, 26 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 2: cashing some underdogs, you know, calling out Oral Roberts to 27 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: win Game one against Oklahoma State. A four seat almost 28 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: never beats a one seed in a regional. From a 29 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 2: cash perspective, I had a fantastic regional. From an emotional perspective, 30 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: my Arkansas Razorbacks got stumped by TCU. You know, we 31 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: had Eric Musselman out in the outfield sweating. I was sweating. 32 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: TCU is absolutely on fire and Arkansas once again, five 33 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: years removed from being one out from winning the national championship, 34 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: again a letdown in the postseason. And so we will 35 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 2: let the Razorbacks go and then we will discuss these 36 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: eight supers. 37 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 3: So first we'll kind. 38 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: Of break down for the audience how do we get here. 39 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: It's a sixty four team tournaments, and just so everyone knows, 40 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: it's a little. 41 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 3: Bit top heavy. With two conferences. 42 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: The SEC and ACC sent almost thirty percent of all 43 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: of those teams to the field. Ten out of fourteen 44 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: of the SEC teams, eight out of the fourteen ACC teams. 45 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 3: But there's still room for the cinderellas. 46 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: You know. Although when you go down the line, most 47 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: of these teams have been there before, but Penn hadn't 48 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: made the tournament in twenty eight years. 49 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 3: Then they go ahead down on the planes. 50 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 1: They beat Auburn in their home stadium, They beat Sanford, 51 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: and they almost make it to the Super Regional, falling 52 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: to Southern Miss eleven to seven in the regional final. 53 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: So there's still some room for those teams to put 54 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: together a dream run. And in that beginning that those regionals. 55 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: The way that it works in college baseball is that 56 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: you have double elimination there, so you got to go 57 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: three and oho or three and one to advance out 58 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: of your four team pod, and the higher rated team 59 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: gets to host nine times out of ten. Every once 60 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: in a while some scheduling snat foods that prevent that 61 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: from happening, but in most cases the top team is hosting. 62 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: Then we get to the Super Regionals, which is where 63 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: we are right now. It's essentially the college baseball Sweet sixteen. 64 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: These simplify a little bit. This is just a best 65 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: of three situation. It's going to be played out over 66 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: the weekends, and it's a lot of excitement because you 67 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: get to focus on one opponent as opposed to trying 68 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 1: to prepare for multiple opponents. Then we break it down 69 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: into the Elite Eight. 70 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 3: They don't call that. 71 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: They call it the College World Series, which returns to 72 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: the double elimination format in two separate brackets, so you 73 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: can go three. 74 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 3: And oh or three and one. 75 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: And the two winners of those two brackets meet for 76 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: a best of three national title duel. So that's how 77 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: we do it here in college baseball. So we have 78 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: an opportunity now to break it down and Collins the 79 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: best person in the world to do it for us. 80 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: So we're going to go through these eight super regional matchups. 81 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: So getting started Wake Forest hosting Alabama. Then we have 82 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: LSU hosting Kentucky. Just a quick note there. LSU won 83 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: two out of three in the regular season over the 84 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: wild Cats. They scored thirty three runs in three games. 85 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: We'll get into the prolific Bayou Bengals offense, Stanford hosting 86 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: Texas on the forty Acres Southern Missdown, and Hattiesburg hosting Tennessee, 87 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: Florida hosting South Carolina. Another note, a SEC on SEC battle. 88 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: During the regular season, South Carolina actually swept Florida and 89 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: in the aggregate they beat them twenty five to ten. 90 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: So an interesting play there. Excited to hear Collins thoughts 91 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: on that one. Then an ACC battle Virginia against Duke 92 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: Duke one two out of three over Uva during the 93 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: regular season. This one will be hosted in Charlottesville. And 94 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: then finally, as we mentioned Oral Bob, they're making their run. 95 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: They got to go through Oregon there in the Pacific Northwest, 96 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: but they're the last super Regional matchup. So series price 97 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: has just dropped, which is fortuitous for this pod. What 98 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: jumped out to you first, Colin. 99 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: Oral Roberts By far, I have them projected to win 100 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: each one of their games if they were to play 101 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 2: three games. Now, before I hop into this, everyone realized 102 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 2: the format in regionals. If you have a star stud pitcher, 103 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 2: you usually pitch him on Friday nights during the season, 104 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 2: but during regionals you hold him off for the winner's 105 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: bracket on Saturday. Now we flip into a best two 106 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: of three this weekend in the supers, So your stud 107 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 2: pitcher goes back to pitching on Friday nights, So keep 108 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 2: that in mind when you try to project pictures. Of course, 109 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: you could follow me on Twitter and I'll have all 110 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: the projected pitchers and confirmations and all that good stuff. Now, 111 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 2: Oral Roberts to me is the bye plus one thirty two. 112 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 2: I project them to be minus two twenty on Friday 113 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 2: night Jacobaul going against Logan Ricardo of Oregon, and I 114 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 2: project them minus two twenty again with Harley Golbertt going 115 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: gets Turner, explore Derek and for Oregon on Saturday. And 116 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 2: if they, you know, somehow end up on a game 117 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: a game three, I've got them minus one seventy with 118 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 2: Brooks power on the mound. So I have them heavily 119 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: projected better than minus one fifty one fifty in all 120 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 2: three games. Right now, the series price is sitting on 121 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: like plus one thirty one thirty two. Oral Roberts is 122 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: absolutely for real. They just ran through host Oklahoma State, 123 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 2: the team that they had already beaten twice. They have 124 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 2: played a ton of big boys on their schedule this season. 125 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: I think Oregon's in a lot of trouble up there. 126 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: One series I want to get your thoughts on right away. 127 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: I brought up at the top that nine times out 128 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: of ten, the higher rated team gets to host. Not 129 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: in the case of TCU drawing Indiana State, this game 130 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: should be played in Terre Haute, Indiana, But instead the 131 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: Sycamores have to travel down to Fort Worth. And that's 132 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: not good news going up against a TCU lineup that 133 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: is red hot, particularly Braden Taylor. He was a stud 134 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: in the Fayetteville Regional. He was eight for fourteen to 135 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: home run ten. RBIs maybe playing his way into, let's say, 136 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: at top fifteen pick in the Major League Baseball Draft. 137 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: Do you think TCU is worth a sprinkle here at 138 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: minus two hundred for the series price. 139 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 2: Well, they have not lost a game since May eighteenth 140 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 2: against Kansas State, they lost seven to six in conference play. 141 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 2: They had won their previous six games before that. They 142 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: are absolutely on fire right now. Blasted Arkansas out of 143 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 2: their own building. And when you think about putting up 144 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 2: twenty to five spot, and you need to realize that 145 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 2: bomb Walker Stadium in Fayetteville is a pitcher's park. It 146 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 2: has deep dimensions in left and right center field, and 147 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 2: they still hit two grand slams in the first two 148 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 2: innings in the winners bracket against Arkansas. So with win 149 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 2: pushing in, I mean this team is absolutely on fire. 150 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: The series price for me is correct because they're playing 151 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 2: at home. Indiana State is leaving. They were a regional host, 152 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: but due to the Special Olympics coming through Tara Hote, 153 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 2: they're going to go on the road. I've got TCU 154 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: Cole Klecker in their first game minus one ten. I've 155 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: got TCU favored again with Cam Brown minus won ten 156 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 2: and then favored with Sam Stoutonborough minus one twenty if 157 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: they do play a game three, so they're going to 158 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 2: be favored in all three games. The price is a 159 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: little bit high if you do the mathematics on the 160 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 2: series calculation, so you could play a game to game 161 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: played series wise. But yes, TCU is coming out of this. 162 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: Let's go to the top of the board. Any chance 163 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: that BAMA gets through rhtt Louder. I mean, the guy 164 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: is phenomenal. The Demon Deacons have arguably the best pitching 165 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: staff in the nation, and they win in a low 166 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: scoring battle, which isn't traditional necessarily for college baseball. Usually 167 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: you see some higher scores compared to Major League baseball. 168 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: But this one kind of screams a Bama squeezes by 169 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: three to two win, you know, maybe two times over. 170 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the big stats that you want to 171 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: take into baseball is base runs and runs per game, right, 172 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 2: so you can get a pretty good average about what 173 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 2: they're going to score. Wake for us a full run 174 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 2: better than Alabama and all of those metrics. I expect 175 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: Rhet Lauder to be about minus four ten in his 176 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 2: first game against Luke Holeman and then in game two 177 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 2: minus three eighty five for Josh Hartle against Garrett macmillan. 178 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 2: You can't argue with what Wake is doing. Number one 179 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 2: in the nation and era staff era staff whip, number 180 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: one in the nation, you know, top ten home runs 181 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 2: per game on base percentage. So there's not a flaw. 182 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 2: But we've seen teams like Tennessee last year. We've seen 183 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 2: Arkansas in previous years where the number one seed gets 184 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 2: to this point completely on fire and then they don't 185 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: make it to Omaha. And I've tweeted it, I've said it. 186 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 2: The you know, the number one overall seed hasn't won 187 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 2: since ninety nine. They haven't even been to Omah since eighteen, 188 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 2: and they haven't played in the championship rounds its two 189 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 2: thousand and nine, so history is against wake Forest. The stats, 190 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 2: the numbers, and the projected odds are absolutely four in 191 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 2: favor of wake Forest, so I'm not fading them. I 192 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 2: do have a bam of future, I will, you know, 193 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 2: let everybody know, because I've been asked a billion times 194 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 2: on Twitter. There's only one shop where you're going to 195 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 2: get a bam of Future. And if you can't get it, 196 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 2: don't worry about it, you know, because you're not going 197 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 2: to find anywhere you don't have to cycle through a 198 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 2: billion apps. But wake Forest looks like that they should 199 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: dominate in the series. But so we'll see what Obama 200 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 2: can do well. 201 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 3: You bring up an interesting point. 202 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: I kind of want to have a question pivot off 203 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: of this, that sometimes the format tends to favor certain 204 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: styles of play over others. And you see it in 205 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: college basketball a lot where teams that shoot a lot 206 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: of three pointers over the course of this season. You 207 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: know that's going to balance out, and if they're accurate 208 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: from three point range, those teams are going to tend 209 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: to have the one and two seeds. 210 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 3: Come March Madness. 211 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: But one game where you shoot twenty percent or less 212 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: from three point range, you can get kind of booted out. 213 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 3: Of the tournament. 214 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: Is there something that is kind of tied to these 215 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: top seeds falling? Is wake Forest susceptible as well by 216 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: not necessarily being a team that's going to pound you 217 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: from their lineup. They want to win those games where 218 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: their staff's keeping you under four runs. 219 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the bats, and if the bat's cool off, 220 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 2: then you can absolutely go into a funk and and 221 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 2: easily in two games. If they knock your ace out, 222 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 2: you're done. Your season can be over that fast. Wake 223 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 2: Forest does have the depth in the pitching where they 224 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 2: can bring somebody else in. A lot of these teams 225 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: have blue guys that come in. They followed the Tampa 226 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 2: Bay Rays model where they're not afraid the second inning 227 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 2: to go to the bullpen and get somebody else in there. 228 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 2: But the bats are probably one of the most unpredictable 229 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 2: things when teams show up every week. Again, it's like 230 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 2: we say they're in college football and college basketball. These 231 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 2: are nineteen year old kids. We don't know what's going 232 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 2: on in their personal life. And also one thing in 233 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 2: college baseball that's really hard to handicap is what teams 234 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 2: do against left handed pitching and against teams that have 235 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 2: a player that can throw a really strong cutter and slider. 236 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: When you think of Kevin Cops from Arkansas a couple 237 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: of years ago, nobody could hit that. So you know, 238 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 2: Wake Forest could run into that. I don't think they're 239 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 2: going to see that out of Alabama. I'm willing to 240 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 2: let my Bama future ride. I'm not going to hedge it. 241 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 2: The price is too much. But I don't see Wake 242 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 2: tripping up this weekend. 243 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: So our illustrious producer Matt Mitchell pointed out to me 244 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: that you have a lot of hot takes on the 245 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: Tennessee volunteers. Is that a factor in your handicap of 246 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: Southern miss ut this weekend? 247 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 2: Well, I despise Tony Battello, right, former assistant coach at Arkansas. 248 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: Him and Dave Van Horne were two p's in a pod. 249 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 2: He leaves he takes the head coaching job at Tennessee. 250 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 2: There's been some words thrown across the Mississippi River both ways. 251 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: I think there was a little bit of a shouting 252 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 2: match on the turf. I don't have any love for 253 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 2: the style of Tony Gootello's coaching. But I also have 254 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: to bite my lip because word on the street is 255 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 2: once Dave van Horn retires at Arkansas, Tony's coming home 256 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 2: and be the head coach. So I really kind of 257 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 2: have to watch, like you know, But no, So Tennessee, 258 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: I have a future on, absolutely love them, and I 259 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 2: think that they're going to take this series. Here, I 260 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 2: project a minus one thirty in their very first game 261 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: against Southern miss over Tanner Hall Andrew Lindsay minus won 262 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: thirty over Tanner Hall. Tanner Hall pitched the last game 263 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: of Southern Missus Regional that they won. His pitch count, 264 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 2: I believe off the top of my head got up 265 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 2: around forty or fifty. So that was the second time 266 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 2: that he pitched in the regional. So we don't know 267 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 2: how Fatigue is going to play for Tanner Hall, who 268 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 2: is Southern Missus stud. And then Billy Oldham's going to 269 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: go in the second game against Chase Dollander. Project Tennessee 270 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: about minus one forty there. So I do like Tennessee 271 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 2: in this in this setup, but you know, at this 272 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 2: point you need to kind of look at futures too. 273 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 2: Are you going to buy a series price. Are you 274 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: going to go with the futures? The winner of this 275 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: is probably going to get LSU in Omaha, and that 276 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 2: is not something I would want to run into. So 277 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 2: I would much rather play a Tennessee series price or 278 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 2: a Friday Satay night game than I would taking a 279 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 2: future on them before. 280 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 3: We get into futures. 281 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: Full throateated here, any anything else in the super regionals 282 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: in terms of the best of the three series price 283 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: that you like. 284 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, Stanford is absolutely priced too high. This is a 285 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 2: series between Stanford and Texas that I have all the 286 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 2: way down to even. It really should be minus one 287 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 2: oh five going both ways. For the you know, direct 288 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 2: projections that I have on this, I have Lucas Gordon 289 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 2: going up against Quinn Matthews in the first game minus 290 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 2: one oh five in favor of Texas, Joey Dixon going 291 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 2: up against lebar and Johnson Junior. That's a minus one 292 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 2: ten for Texas. I mean, this is completely even. So 293 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 2: just you know, based upon numbers alone, you should take 294 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 2: Texas and the plus money look to you know, possibly 295 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 2: take the other side with Stanford in a game where 296 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 2: they're going to be an underdog, which would be Game 297 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 2: two when Joey Dixon throws the most even series on 298 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 2: the slate by far is going to be Texas and 299 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: Stanford Coore. 300 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 3: We go any further. 301 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 5: As a reminder, Big Bets on Campus is presented by 302 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 5: bet MGM, So get it on the action with the 303 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 5: King of Sportsbooks.

And what 362 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: do you think is more of a sleepy venue that 363 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: is neutral or you know, for a fan base that 364 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: may travel a lot. 365 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 3: Actually you could see more away fans there. 366 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would not want to be Kentucky going into 367 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: alex Box for LSU. That is, there are a couple of 368 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 2: places in the nation where you don't want to play. 369 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 2: It feels like a hot MLB playoff environment. You don't 370 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 2: want to go play at Mississippi State of Duty, Noble, 371 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 2: you don't want to play at Arkansas unless your name 372 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 2: is TCU. But alex Box is that way with LSU. 373 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 2: So I think, you know, the the series price has 374 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 2: justified what you're going to see in the market they're starting. 375 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 2: Pitcher Paul Skins is absolutely going to be pitching an 376 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 2: MLB probably by the end of the year. Dylan Cruz 377 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 2: their their star player in the lineup. You can't pitch 378 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: around him. He's he's absolutely electric. That is an environment 379 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 2: I would not want to go down and play. Not 380 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 2: to mention, it's hot, it's sticky. It is hot in 381 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 2: the South, and you know, we'll see how Kentucky does 382 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 2: down there. Kentucky does not have the runs per game. 383 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 2: The base runs are the offense. Kentucky only wins games 384 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 2: in low scoring. They're two hundred and twenty first is 385 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 2: the nation in homers per nine. That's not going to 386 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 2: get it done down in Alix box. 387 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 1: So speaking of LSU, let's get into four teams that 388 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: you feel confident are going to make a deep run, 389 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: either to you know, being the last four teams in 390 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: the tournament or potentially winning this whole thing outright. Start 391 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: with LSU. I think their priced to move. I'm interested. 392 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 3: I'm putting my money there plus six fifty. 393 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: This is a six time College World Series championship program, 394 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: so this is not uncharted territory for them by any stretch. 395 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: Their power hitting team, they average over two home runs 396 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: per game, which is fifth nationally. They batted three to 397 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: eleven as a team which was first in the SEC 398 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: sixteenth nationally. Dylan Cruz, as you brought up, he should 399 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: already be laying out his you know, wardrobe, black and 400 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: yellow because he's going to be a Pittsburgh Pirate in 401 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: short order. He's been four to twenty six at the 402 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: top of the lineup, which sets the table perfectly for 403 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: this team. And then when you look right behind him, 404 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: it's no surprise to Tommy White. If he plays enough 405 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: games in this tournament's probably going to get to one 406 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: hundred RBIs on the year batting out of the two hole. 407 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 3: So that's incredible. 408 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: And then you Pepper and Paul Skins, as you brought up, superstar, 409 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: big game pitcher, big league stuff. Just through a complete 410 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: game against Tulane in the regionals looked phenomenal. So to me, 411 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: it has all the trappings at the champion and I 412 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: like the price. You know, I'm used to the world 413 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: of college football where to get premium talent like this, 414 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: generally you're looking at plus two to fifty plus two 415 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: to twenty five. I understand this's the tournament setting these 416 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: small you know, windows where you're only playing three and 417 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 1: four games, you can get booted. If things go awry, 418 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: it happens. But plus six fifty has my attention. Am 419 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: I missing anything with the Bayou Bengals here? 420 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: Now you're not. LSU absolutely will will win the series 421 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 2: against Kentucky. They will get paired up with the winner 422 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 2: of Tennessee Southern miss again. You're gonna give Paul Skins 423 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 2: a week of rest and let him pitch again to 424 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 2: get into the winners bracket, or maybe ty Floyd will see. 425 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 2: But LSU has the pitching, they have the offense to 426 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 2: make it into the winner's bracket when they get to Omaha. 427 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 2: So I love them as one of the final four teams. 428 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 2: So I think you're justified in that on the top 429 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 2: side of that bracket. I'm just gonna stick with historical 430 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 2: trends and say that somehow Wake doesn't make it, so 431 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 2: that kind of opens up the field up there. Texas 432 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 2: and Stanford could be on a little bit of a 433 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 2: letdown after their series. Alabama has been proving everybody wrong 434 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 2: since they fired their coach and absolutely just keep winning. 435 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: I mean, nobody thought they even had a chance to 436 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 2: be a regional host. So you know, I'm going to 437 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 2: say Alabama meets up with LSU a little college football 438 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 2: preview going on in the winners bracket on their side. 439 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 2: But if you're taking a future right now, Mike, I'm 440 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 2: going to go to the other side of the bracket 441 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 2: and you got to take TCU at thirteen to one. 442 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 2: And the reason is is because they're paired up against 443 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 2: Indiana State. Indiana State is forty to one on the board. 444 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 2: Nobody expects them to advance. I don't expect them to advance. 445 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,479 Speaker 2: Who are they going to play after that? I project 446 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 2: them to play Oral Roberts in Omaha in game one, 447 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 2: and TCU absolutely should blast that pitching that Oral Roberts has. 448 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 2: And then you've got TCU sitting in the winners bracket 449 00:20:54,640 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 2: while they dodge Virginia Florida South Carolina. Let's use on 450 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 2: the other side. Tennessee's on the other side, Wakes on 451 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 2: the other side TCU's path, that's the happy path right there. 452 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 2: Grab your horn, Frogs thirteen to one, and you know, 453 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 2: shout out to hypno Toad. If you get to the 454 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 2: championship game this year, do something with it and not 455 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 2: like the what the football team did. 456 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: All right, Keller, And the picture for me here because 457 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: I have the outline of it, and it's that cole 458 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: Klecker needs to pitch like a true number one, top 459 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: of the rotation kind of guy for TCU to make 460 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: this run. He also has the added pressure against the 461 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: Sycamore bats that he needs to make sure this is 462 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: like at best equality start three runs and six innings 463 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: kind of situation. Because the Sycamores have a tremendous staff 464 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: fourth nationally in ERA at three point eighty three per game. 465 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: Is that just a product of the opponents that they play, 466 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: or is this really a top to bottom lights out 467 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: pitching staff from Indiana State end the. 468 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 2: Pitching staff has a high enough the whole team has 469 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 2: a high enough RPI to where they've proven it now. 470 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 2: I think the big difference between, like in Game one, 471 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 2: Matt J. Jackheck versus Cole Clucker is you don't want 472 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 2: to just look at eras on starting pitchers. You want 473 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 2: FIPP and you want FIP, and you want x FIP. 474 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 2: And I'm looking at cole Clucker's x FIP it's five 475 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 2: point eight. I'm looking at his FIP it's six point two. 476 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 6: Right. 477 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 2: Those are those are both about two runs higher than 478 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 2: what Indiana State's going to bring to the table. So 479 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 2: tc is just going to have to out hit them, 480 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 2: that's it. But that's really what you're betting on is 481 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 2: hot sticks, and hot sticks really get to the Championship 482 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 2: Series these days. So I agree that Indiana State has 483 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 2: the pitching, but they're getting displaced from home. They're going 484 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,959 Speaker 2: down to the South, playing in some major heat against 485 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 2: a team that just put up double digits easily in 486 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 2: every game in a primetime regional. I don't see. I mean, 487 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 2: I don't. I wouldn't blame anybody from a numbers perspective 488 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 2: saying the TCU number is too high. It is. I 489 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 2: would pass on the series price and by the thirteen 490 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 2: to one. 491 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: So you sold me on a thirteen to one team 492 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: being gifted home field advantage and they couldn't be hidden 493 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: at a better. 494 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 3: Rate coming in. 495 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: Let's talk about a team that has to do it traditionally. 496 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: They got to go to Gainesville and they got to 497 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: beat a Florida team that they did sweep. 498 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 3: During the regular season, talking about South Carolina. 499 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: Here, they're twelve to one, two time College World Series champion. 500 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: They went back to back in twenty ten twenty eleven. 501 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: Also a great power hitting team but they balance it out. 502 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: Their thirteenth in team era in all of NCAA baseball, 503 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: and they have two All SEC first team members in 504 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: Cole Massine and their catcher and Ethan Petrie. 505 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 3: Their outfielder was phenomenal. He kind of I wouldn't say 506 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 3: he came out of nowhere. 507 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure people in the know expected big things out 508 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: of him in his first year in Garnett and Black, 509 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: but the guy went berserk. And when you put together 510 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: their two numbers, they hit forty dingers, knocked in one 511 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: hundred and forty RBIs. 512 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 3: And when you. 513 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: Balance that out with James Hicks and Jack Mahoney, there's 514 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: a lot to like about this team. I mean, Hicks 515 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: had a five inning, one hit performance against Central Connecticut State. 516 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: Then Mahoney had a quality start right off of that, 517 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 1: six k's and six innings against NC State. So I'm 518 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: starting to not along with you talking about the game 519 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: Cocks at twelve to one. 520 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 2: Well, I tweeted out yesterday, I have a two hundred 521 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 2: to one on South Carolina that was bought back in January. 522 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 2: And yeah, it's not a five dollars ticket either. It's 523 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 2: so it's a let's just say there. I mean, you know, 524 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 2: if South Carolina wins at all, I'm probably gonna I'm 525 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 2: probably gonna go on vacation for a month. College football 526 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 2: might get delayed for. 527 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: You may get a big spur tattoo somewhere on your body. 528 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 2: Yeah something. I'll be playing that rooster crowing in my 529 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 2: house all the time. To me, this is a very 530 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 2: even series. I do know, you know, South Carolina swept them, 531 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 2: but that was at home. I don't take SEC home 532 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 2: wins that seriously because it's tough to win on the road. 533 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 2: So yeah, James Hicks in Game one against Brandon Sproute, 534 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 2: I project Florida minus one ten. Turn around with Hurst 535 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 2: and Walder against Jack Mahoney, I make Florida minus one ten, 536 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 2: and then if we get to Jack Caglian Nunn, I mean, 537 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 2: show hey Otani of college baseball, right, we're jacking homers. 538 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 2: We're you know, pitching seven innings and striking out seventeen players. 539 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 2: He is an absolute stud for Florida. I project him 540 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 2: minus one twenty and a third potential third game against 541 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 2: Matthew Becker. But you know, even throwing out those projections, 542 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 2: you have to wonder if these two teams are going 543 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 2: if whoever wins the first game, if that team isn't 544 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 2: going to unload the entire pin to try not to 545 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 2: get into a game three. I think this is a 546 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 2: very evenly matched series. Florida has the home field advantage. 547 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 2: I wouldn't place them at minus one forty eight, So 548 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 2: I would absolutely either buy a series price on South 549 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 2: Carolina or I would take a future on him because 550 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 2: I don't fear Virginia in Duke. Who's who they would 551 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 2: meet up with in Omaha. 552 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: The last team that you'd like to come from the 553 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: back of the pack, so to speak, is Alabama upsetting 554 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: Wake and then making a run. I know that Wake 555 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: eats up all the oxygen and rightfully so when it 556 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: comes to their pitching staff. But Alabama, there's seventh and 557 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: team are a fifth and whip and then I know 558 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 1: so much as focused on the starters, and rightfully so, 559 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: that's kind of how you should begin your process when 560 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: you're looking to bet individual games and series. But Alton 561 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: Davis the second out of their pen, all freshmen out 562 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: of the SEC eight saves and when they needed them 563 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: in the regionals two and a third scoreless, four k's 564 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: got to save against Troy does he give them a 565 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: little bit of an edge where the pressure laden game 566 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: starts to slide over the Demon Deacons who need to 567 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: be you know, capitalizing on this dream season that they've 568 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: been putting together. 569 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 2: If you want to know how much fire Alabama has, 570 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 2: and the watch Alton Davis pitch and how he comes 571 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 2: off the mound when he closes an inning. He's absolutely 572 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 2: on fire. He's heated. This entire Alabama team has a 573 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 2: chip on their shoulder considering what they've went through this 574 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 2: year when Luke Holeman was scratched and then their coach 575 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 2: was let go. There is something in the water going 576 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 2: on down in Tuscaloosa with his baseball team. But yes, 577 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 2: bullpen is a big part of it. So when you 578 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 2: see these projections come out that I provide everybody, it's 579 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 2: a mixture of expected innings pitches from the pitching staff, 580 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 2: the starting pitchers ERA PHIP X FIP ERA and then 581 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 2: the pen e RA A FIP an X FIP which 582 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 2: all go into it. And Alison Davis is a big 583 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 2: part of that for Alabama. The problem is is wake 584 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 2: Forest's starters are so good and you know they project 585 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 2: to you know, go deep into games. I think, you know, 586 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 2: right now, I'm looking at Rett Louder to go six 587 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 2: point eight innings. I've got Josh Hartle to get into 588 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 2: the seventh inning. I've got you know, Jacob McNairy to 589 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: get to at least get five down. So the problem 590 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 2: with wake Forest's is you've got to get their starters 591 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 2: out of the game and get deeper into their pen, 592 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 2: which it looks like, you know, just from a broad view, 593 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 2: it looks it looks like Alabama's got about a run 594 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,959 Speaker 2: higher from from Penny ra and pen fips. So this 595 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 2: is a this is gonna be a tough task for Alabama. 596 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 2: But you know, underdogs win these games, and you can 597 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 2: see it from from their play on the field that 598 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 2: they are completely fired up. They're not sleepwalking into this. 599 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: One last question to put an extra tool in the 600 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: tool belt of our first time College World Series betters 601 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: out there listening from a live betting perspective, if your 602 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: book is offering that of these six teams that are left, 603 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: if one falls behind four or five runs in a game, 604 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: who's the one that you're keeping an eye on the 605 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: live line because you want to hammer it because they 606 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: have the lineup they can hang those crooked numbers and 607 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: get back in games in a hurry. 608 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. So the two regionals you need to watch, I'm sorry, 609 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 2: super regionals you need to watch because of a park 610 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 2: factor's perspective, and the totals that I'm projecting is going 611 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 2: to be Texas and Stanford out in Palo Alto and 612 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 2: LSU and Kentucky down in Baton Rouge. Those games, generally, 613 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 2: I look at it, I've gotten projected around fifteen to 614 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 2: sixteen and a half runs. Everybody else, I mean the Indiana, 615 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 2: I mean there's some there are some of these regionals 616 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 2: where it doesn't get up that high. Tennessee Southern Myss. 617 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 2: These are two of the lowest run scoring, you know, 618 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 2: teams out there eight to nine run totals. I would 619 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 2: absolutely be looking at Palo Alto and Baton Rouge as 620 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 2: places where if the team has a four run lead, 621 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 2: six run lead, that can evaporate pretty quickly. So especially 622 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 2: you know, Kentucky is a team that you hesitate. I'm 623 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 2: betting over is On but down in alex Box the 624 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 2: ball just flies out of there. So we'll see how 625 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 2: that goes. But those are two regionals definitely that I 626 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 2: will be line betting. 627 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: And last question is just from an overall strategy perspective 628 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: of these top seeds, let's call it all the teams 629 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: that are hosting, which one needs to get out of 630 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: the super Regional the. 631 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 3: Fastest from rest and recovery. 632 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: For their staff perspective, who needs to go to and 633 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: oh and just punch their ticket so they can you know, 634 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: kind of refresh before they get into the College World Series. 635 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, Duke, Southern Myss, they just ran a billion you know, 636 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 2: they just played a billion games just to get to 637 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 2: this point. That's definitely you know, kind of translates into 638 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 2: how healthy is your staff, how much rest do they need? 639 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 2: Is there travel involved? Yes, there is not very far 640 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 2: for you know, a couple of these teams, but those 641 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 2: are teams that absolutely exhausted every arm they have, especially 642 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 2: Southern Myss to get to this point. So, I you know, 643 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 2: it's just I'm not gonna put money down when your 644 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 2: pin has had to throw you know, four games and 645 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 2: five hundred pitch and that is really big. I mean, 646 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 2: I think I tweeted out bullpen count on Sunday. So 647 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 2: it's really important to know like how taxed that these 648 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 2: pins are because it plays a huge factor in totals 649 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 2: and giving up leads. 650 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: Last one to get you out of here on that's 651 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: just so you know that baseball fan who wants to 652 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: sound in the no can name drop a little bit. 653 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: I know we've said Braydon Taylor, who's killing it for 654 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: the horn Frogs, Dylan Cruz obviously named to remember Ethan Petrie. 655 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 3: For South Carolina. 656 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: Who's another player that you just love to watch, whether 657 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: it's a pitcher or a hitter. That this kid is 658 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: just electric and as soon as you name drop them, 659 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: there's a high likelihood they're going to do something special 660 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: during these super regionals. 661 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 2: Well, I mentioned Jack Hackley, a nun for Florida. He's 662 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 2: absolutely does everything. He plays in the field, he pitches, 663 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 2: he's he generally has he can start on Friday nights. 664 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 2: Most of the season he started on Sundays. I know 665 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 2: he started on Friday in the regional because they wanted 666 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 2: to get that game one win against the four seed 667 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 2: and then move on. But he also is the biggest 668 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 2: power hitter in the Florida Gators lineup, and he does everything. 669 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 2: He is show aotani of the college baseball game. So 670 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 2: be watching that Gainsville regional and looking for that name. 671 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: So just a quick recap of Collin's picks, you know, 672 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: in terms of value to win this whole thing, at 673 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: least make a deep run LSU plus six fifty South 674 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: Carolina twelve to one, TCU thirteen to one. Alabama off 675 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: the board and the majority of markets because of the 676 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: betting scandals and issues that they're having in Tuscaloosa. But 677 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: if you can see a number, what would kind of 678 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: be your threshold for a play on the Crimson Tide 679 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: to win this whole thing. 680 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 2: It was thirty to one before the regionals, and I 681 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 2: feel like I would need thirty to one to go 682 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 2: it up against Wing Force. 683 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: All right for Colin Wilson, I'm Mike Calabres.
