Texas vs Alabama Pick, Betting Analysis
TheScore Bet is a run lower than other books that have performed quite well (and are more conservative to the under) like bet365.
We have a good breeze blowing out to left field this afternoon, which is expected to get stronger and more persistent as the afternoon progresses.
I believe we’re getting a discounted total here after Texas and Alabama combined to share one run between them in each of their opening-round games.
Texas was stifled by Georgia’s Joey Volchko, who tossed a complete game, while Alabama couldn’t plate any runs against Oklahoma’s Cord Rager and LJ Mercurius.
We’re getting both best remaining pitchers in this elimination game — Texas will start senior Ruger Riojas (5-2, 4.04 ERA), while Alabama throws junior Zane Adams (8-4, 3.96).
Don’t expect Tyler Fay to see any relief action today, as Alabama’s ace threw 101 pitches against the Sooners just two days ago; everyone else should be available.
Texas projects to advance to a second elimination game tomorrow against the loser of Georgia-Oklahoma.
In games Texas won in this tournament, teams scored more than this total four out of five times. There’s a correlation between Longhorn victories and productive offense.
Pick: Over 10.5 (-130)
