    Wake Forest (-150) - LSU (+130)

    NCAA Baseball game of the year (not just my words) tonight.

    If Wake were to lose, LSU (IMO) is the team most likely to upset.
    I was just reading where prime seats for tonight's game were going for as much as a thousand dollars.
    That's absurd.

    I have WF in futures, I'm standing pat and not hedging, but there's a little value in LSU tonight.
    For me to hedge I would like a little better than +160.

    I love the double elimination format in NCAA baseball, it makes it much more difficult for the Cinderella teams to advance like in college hoops.

    Must watch baseball game for any baseball enthusiast.

    The double elimination format in this tournament is awesome. Makes for a fun tournament.

    Wake bats are asleep and their pitcher is a walk machine.

    Power arms in this game. Can't believe Hartle has issued four walks.

    I wonder if this is the same ump that did the Florida/Oral Roberts game... Terrible calls, strike zone is all over the place.

    Just brutal ball/strike calls. He has missed over 30% of the pitches so far. Unacceptable at any level.

    Wake gets 2 in the bottom of the 6th but it feels like it should've been more... Three inning game now.

    And then after blowing a strike/ball he compounds matters with a 'make up' call the first chance he gets.
    That's not a good thing, just let it go.

    This HPU has been brutal for both teams.
    He's like an equal opportunity f**k up

    Minanci is a DP machine.
    He got out of that Stanford jam last game after the error in the eight inning also.

    Not the cleanest of games so far, but still pretty much as advertised.

    Like I said after the Stanford game, the only way to beat Wake is to out-pitch them, and even if you do you still can't beat them.

    WF improves to 54-10 now.

    Between LSU and WF, it's possible that seven pitchers go in the first two rounds in the next MLB draft.

    Good game!

    Big win for Wake... given the format, a loss tonight would've presented a major uphill challenge, especially since they didn't see Skenes tonight. That out at the plate at the top of the 8th was an absolute game changer. Game of inches.

    Yes, awesome display of talent. I sort of wish Wake/LSU had come in on opposite sides of the bracket.

    But I guess Florida is no slouch. Huge win for Wake. Got a strong feeling that LSU comes back on the WRESTLE-BACKS.

    Maybe so. But check the starting pitcher.

    These teams play every OTHER day. Maybe Skenes would be ready to start next game?

    I'm trying to get confirmation as to who is starting tonight for LSU.
    I can't see Skenes going on short rest after throwing 120 pitching this past weekend again the Vols.

    Morning line is -115/-105

    I don't know what I'm doing yet, I'm still leaning LSU with or without their ace.
    I've come down some off my original LSU thought.

    I still think the four best teams still standing are.

    WF
    LSU
    FLA
    TENN

    The gap between 2-4 is razor thin.
    WF is still head of the class, and Wake can rest Lowder another day if they wish.

    Think you're right. Also, why risk the health of a top prospect? Imagine if we see Skenes/Lowder on the play-back? Wow, O/u = 4?

    That hypothetical o/u would be more like 6.5 or 7 runs flat.

    I don't think the Skenes/Lowder matchup will materialize, but I think that O/U would be a little lower.

    Why wouldn't it? Unless LSU plays him tonight, it's possible we see that matchup in the next game, assuming the Tigers beat Tenn.

    Crews scores the first run.

    I know he's a good player. A little surprised that he might go #1 overall.
