Saturday with thoughts...
Oregon State -170
Defending champs and top seed in the regional, don't see them going 0-2
Cincinnati/Michigan over 10.5 -110
Cincinnati is averaging 11.6 RPG since the conference tourney
Michigan is averaging 7.1 RPG since the conference tourney
Army +3 +105
Army is a scrappy team and Florida doesn't even belong in the tourney this year
Nebraska +2.5 -110
Huskers are playing realy good ball and have a deep pitching staff, I think they can hang with the Cowboys
Arkansas -290
The Hogs are hitting over .300 as a team this year and has one of the top pens in the country
I hate TCU, but they saved their #1 Lodolo for today which will make it more difficult for the Hogs
WOO PIG
Coastal Carolina/Florida A&M over 16 -120
Tempting to take the Chanticleers -5.5, but I like the over better
CC has a team ERA of 5.55 which ranks 217th in the nation
CC has a team batting average of .309 which ranks 11th in the nation and is scoring 12 RPG last 6
Florida A&M has enough offense to score some runs to hit the over
West Virginia -145 HUGE PLAY
W. Virginia is hosting their first regional since 1955 and should have some home field advantage
W. Virginia is not an offensive juggernaut. This play is based solely on Alek Monoah. Alek will likely hear his named called in the top 10 on draft day come Monday. He has a 1.85 ERA this year in 102.1 innings along with 135 strikeouts vs 23 walks. He will sit 93-97 with his fastball and throw in a nasty slider and changeup for his off speed stuff. The Mountaineers should be able to put enough on the board as well as Manoah is on his game.
Good luck if you play along and hopefully some information helped

Let's try some Super Regionals
East Carolina +115
EC matches up evenly with Louisville and has more power in the lineup. If it close late in the game, Lousville is without their closer for the first 2 games
Texas Tech -190
Raiders have the edge in speed and power. They also have the postseason experience and home field
Vandy -3.5 -110
This team is for real. Team batting average of .319 and pitching to back it up. Gross pitched well vs A&M, but the Aggies were struggling with the bats at that time. Vandy should get to him early.
Michigan/UCLA under 9.5 -120
Bruins have one of the top pitching staffs in the country. I don't see Michigan scoring and UCLA is not a scoring machine.
