Mississippi State vs Southern Miss Pick, Betting Analysis
Let's get back one of the hottest teams in the country for the second straight Tuesday: the No. 4 Mississippi State Bulldogs.
If you didn't believe me last Tuesday, you should after this past weekend. Miss State is back.
The Bulldogs picked up two big victories over Arizona State and Virginia Tech before pushing No. 1 UCLA to the brink on Sunday night.
Much of what we talked about last week gives the Bulldogs the edge in this matchup over No. 11 Southern Miss.
USM's lineup is deep and consistent, and the same is true for its pitching depth. However, the Golden Eagles of Hattiesburg haven't had to outslug many teams to this point.
Yes, they have quality wins over Oregon State and Alabama, but their offensive production doesn't inspire the same level of confidence that Mississippi State's does.
Back the Bulldogs to keep rolling.
Pick: Mississippi State ML -130
