West Virginia vs Cal Poly NCAA Baseball Betting Preview
The Mountaineers had to trek their way to this Super Regional, as they went through the losers' bracket, taking down Kentucky twice in dramatic fashion to mark their third consecutive Super Regional appearance.
Their opponents are the dominant underdogs in the Cal Poly Mustangs. They swept through the Los Angeles Regional, avoiding the top-seeded UCLA Bruins.
The Mustangs showed they can take care of teams inferior to them with power at the plate and great pitching depth, but the Mountaineers have two sizable advantages here.
The first is the men on the mound. West Virginia has three All-Big 12 pitchers it can start in this series. Maxx Yehl, the Big 12 Pitcher of the Year, bounced back in a big way against Kentucky on Monday.
We should see him carry this momentum over to his start in this series.
Cal Poly’s best starter, Griffin Naess, is solid but is 18 points worse than Yehl in SIERA, and the gap in pitching only widens from there.
However, the one X-factor for the Mustangs is their closer, Nick Bonn. Bonn is an upper-90s arm with a big-league-level slider who has proven he can convert multiple-inning saves.
While getting a save opportunity in this series is a big question mark, we should see him make his presence felt if the Mustangs need to keep any game in this series close.
A final factor that will significantly impact this series is time. Cal Poly is a West Coast team that comes from a West Coast Regional. The first two games of this series are set to start at 9 a.m. Pacific.
The Mustangs were done a big disservice, and any kind of lag will impact their bats. I’m going to be targeting unders in this series, but the Mountaineers are also a strong parlay piece to advance to Omaha.
