While both the UCLA Bruins and UTSA Roadrunners were undervalued in their respective Regionals, this Super Regional series has the potential to be very entertaining.

It’s confirmed that the Roadrunners can swing it. They slugged their way through the Austin Regional, outscoring their opposition, 26-13, over three games.

However, the same can be said about UCLA. It put up 38 runs over three games and gave up just 14.

While the Bruins are favored to advance as hosts, I’m not sold on their pitching depth. UCLA’s staff is due for regression, holding a 5.76 xFIP and 4.19 SIERA on the season.

As for the Roadrunners, their staff is only due to get stronger with an xFIP of 4.90 and SIERA of 3.75.

At the plate, these lineups are similar. UCLA ranks 15th in wRC+, and UTSA is 11th.

These teams are much closer than the series price portrays, and there’s more than enough reason to believe UTSA is going to make a trip to Omaha.
