College World Series Picks 6/22
Tennessee Head Coach Tony Vitello is dancing with who brought him to the MCWS Finals. Chris Stamos doesn’t pitch very deep into the game. The goal and idea of Stamos starting games is just to give the opposing lineup a look, just to drastically switch up the look and give the opposition something totally different with AJ Causey. Stamos is a high slot left handed pitcher, Causey is a sidearm RHP.
Recently, Stamos’ appearances have backfired against the Vols. Stamos has allowed at least one run in his last seven appearances while averaging less than two innings pitched per appearance. In three of the southpaw’s last five appearances he has allowed a run in the first inning. Also, Tennessee has scored five first-inning runs in three games during the College World Series. Additionally early wind reports are saying we could see winds blowing out to center field at 15 mph.
Both offenses could start very well out of the gates. I love the YRFI in Game 1. OR you could play either team to score in the first inning. Both team-specific options are being offered at plus-money. If you play them as singles to win 1u on each, it is also a great look. If only one team scores in the 1st you still make money. But if both teams score in the 1st inning it is golden.
The Bet: -150 Over 0.5 First Inning Runs (DraftKings)
OR
+145 Tennessee To Score in 1st Inning AND +185 Texas A&M To Score in 1st Inning (DraftKings)
College World Series Picks 6/22
Both teams are incredible and deserve to be in the MCWS Finals. As a handicapper, you just have to find ways to poke holes into each team’s makeup and hope that it’s the correct one to make some money on. Here is my handicap for the entire series:
Tennessee’s offense leads the country in home runs. It is no secret that the Volunteers are going to attempt to blast baseballs over the fence. Charles Schwab Field has some of the biggest dimensions in the country. Obviously, not all of the Vols’ fly balls will go over the fence, but they still have to be caught, and I don’t have full faith that Texas A&M’s outfield will be able to deliver.
Heading into the MCWS Finals, the Aggies’ outfield has taken some huge hits. Right fielder Braden Montgomery broke his ankle, Center Fielder Jace LaViolette shifted to right field, and 2nd baseman Travis Chestnut moved to center field. Chestnut’s last four games are the only games he has played CF this season.
In addition to that nightmare, LaViolette tweaked his hamstring in Omaha. In the Wednesday game against Florida, LaViolette was not able to use his typical range to catch a fly ball. The ball in play wasn’t a routine catch, but 80% of right fielders should make the catch on this particular BIP. So now A&M has a 2nd baseman playing centerfield and a hobbled slugger in RF.
In conclusion, I think Tennessee wins Game 1. But their moneyline is -180. Instead of grabbing the -180, should we narrow down the Tennessee money line to -130? Take Tennessee to not bat in the ninth inning at -130.
If the Volunteers are batting in the 9th inning, they would either be losing or tied. Subsequently, Texas A&M would have Evan Aschenbeck, the Stopper of the Year, on the bump in the 9th inning and possibly going into extras. Scratching a run across the best closer in the country is a tall task in itself. Rather than paying for the full traditional moneyline, take the 50-cent discount.
The Bet: -130 Tennessee To Bat In The Bottom Of The Ninth, “No” (DraftKings)
