UNCW may be the familiar team after representing the CAA in the postseason for the past few years. But the Seahawks are in for a stark test in the form of the Charleston Southern Buccaneers tonight.

This is actually the second midweek meeting between these two clubs. While UNCW picked up the road victory last time, it's time for Charleston Southern to return the favor.

The Buccaneers have been tested far more than the Seahawks to this point in the season and have performed well against good competition. They lost to South Carolina, 4-1, last week before taking a road series from Georgia State this past weekend.

As for UNCW, it comes into this matchup with plenty of momentum after sweeping Jacksonville.

However, we have yet to see the Seahawks play up to their competition, as they lost a series to Maryland to open the season and a pair of midweek matchups to Duke and East Carolina, respectively.

Charleston Southern's RPI sits at 60, while UNCW's comes in at 196. Don't let the first meeting fool you — Charleston Southern is the better side here, and there's great value on the Bucs as underdogs tonight.

Pick: Charleston Southern ML +110


Dallas Baptist vs Oklahoma State Pick

O'Brate Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma, is traditionally known as a launching pad for hitters. That type of environment brings plenty of variance when you have a team coming in that can swing it as the DBU Patriots can.

DBU comes into this matchup averaging 8.5 runs per game with a team batting average of .296 and 30 homers through 16 games. Fourteen of those homers have come in the Patriots' last five games, and they're 2-3 in that span.

It's safe to say that DBU's pitching has dropped off mightily from what we've seen in years past. That's quite worrisome against an Oklahoma State team that has been just as powerful as the Patriots have been this season, boasting eerily similar power numbers.

This total is hovering around 15.5 at the time of writing, and while the market has shown some support for the Cowboys here, this game may come down to who can score last.

Back the Patriots here, as their bats give them a great chance to pull off the upset in Stillwater tonight.

Pick: Dallas Baptist ML +135
