Arkansas vs Kentucky Pick, Betting Analysis
Despite a 4-3 loss to the Wildcats last night, Arkansas is priced a bit too short here.
Gabe Gaeckle returned to the weekend rotation last Saturday against Oklahoma, giving up three runs in 4 2/3 innings. Reliever Parker Coil was peppered, but 12 Razorback runs propelled them to a win.
It hasn't been announced as of writing, but we can assume Gaeckle showed enough to earn another start, especially since the previous Game 2 starter, Cole Gibler, melted down for seven earned runs against Ole Miss in his last showing.
We have another classic Arkansas baseball squad in 2026 — one that can’t put all the pieces together.
The pitching talent is there, as are the bats, but now these talented arms are erratic and inconsistent. That’s likely a red flag for the postseason, but it’s enough to get it done tonight.
Pick: Arkansas ML -160 or Better
