Tempted to take both big dogs here, as even a 1-1 day will show a huge return at around +240 a piece. But am I dreaming? Is there value in these big dogs? :ughhh:

Well, im not saying take either one, but im a big MSU fan, and have followed them forever. They have been really hot this postseason. They went into the tallahassee regional and didnt lose a game. They beat #6 FSU twice to win the regional.....came home to host a super regional and went 2-0, beating clemson twice to go to the CWS.....

Ill just say this, and not because im a msu fan, but they have a decent shot. Obviously rice is the big fav, but everyone else is in the mix. I would take either louisville or msu, but i dont bet on my team, so, im not...

They'll both be going against the top pitchers in college bases.

In this case, eat the chalk, or just walk.

I think you have to play Louisville at these odds. They have been mashing the ball and Rice will send out a freshman. Yes the freshman is outstanding but you never know how he'll react to a big occasion.

Louisville >> Zack Pitts (10-3, 2.23 ERA) *Big East Pitcher of the Year
Rice >> Ryan Berry (11-2, 2.71 ERA) *Freshman Pitcher of the Year

+260ish seems too good to pass up.

If you think Rice can score 4 runs, go with them. Personally, I see Louisville going 2 and out. Much bigger stage and they aren't under the radar anymore. I like the style of UCI a lot. Small ball all game and each hitter battles. They won't beat themselves. UNC has revenge on their mind after last season. Fullerton won't do a whole lot, not one of their better teams, but they are always in Omaha. ASU seemed to coast through the regionals, can they suddenly turn it on?

Rice -280 to win 1 Unit

I believe Miss State has a shot. Berry is strong but State won't be
intimidated. Dogs have one hell of a coach and they will play smart
ballgame. I like MS in this one.

line being hammered, especially at the greek.

-430/+340 now, I don't get it. See how this plays out.

*Hit again now -450/+350.

FWIW, I have had a number of scalps between two books over the past few weeks and they are like 9 wins in favor of one book and I believe 1 in favor of the other. Book A is a slow moving book so they take a while to react to action.

I looked this morning to see if there were any scalps and nothing was close. Just checked again and there is this line between the two books

Louisville +315
Rice -300

There has been MAJOR steam on Rice at 5dimes causing this scalp. The good/bad news is that the book with Rice -300 is the book that has gotten the 9 wins. So, if form holds, Rice would win.

Probably not worth much, but just thought I would throw it out there.
