SW Missouri +150
66.67/100

The Bears went head-to-head with the best team (Rice) and lost by two runs. Miami got waxed by Texas. At least SW Missouri comes into this game with some degree of confidence. All of the pressure will be on the Canes in this elimination game. The Bears have nothing to lose. Good luck!

LL, I was thinking along the same lines in this game, while SWMS has nothing to lose, are they just happy to be there? Miami is the better team imo, but that's why they play the game, might take a shot with the dog as well though.

 

[Livin' Large]

True, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that SW Missouri is better because they're not. However, anything can happen in sports, and I expect the Bears to play extremely loose today. On the other hand, the Canes' ***holes should be tighter than a drum. Good luck whichever way you decide to go!

 

[Livin' Large]

Line move on Canes from $1.60 to $1.70.

 

[c20916]

Any thoughts on the late game? I was leaning towards Texas, could be a doggie day at the CWS today.

 

[Livin' Large]

I like Texas as a dog. The Longhorns were defeated by Rice earlier this season, so they will be playing with revenge. Big coaching edge to Texas. Back later with a play on this game. Canes up to $1.75.

Miami hasnt gone 2 and out in the college world series in some time. the papers in miami have put a lot of pressure on them the last couple of days. the bottom line is these kids play hard everyday and they are more embarrassed about how they played saturday and they are looking to come out and destroy sw mizzou today. this game could get ugly quick . look for miami to take it to them as they are not ready to go home. they know what it takes to win and they will do that today.

miami -160

PRESSURE is the key word. Kids don't handle pressure the same way professionals do. Good luck BTP!

LL, THIS IS A VERY SMALL PLAY FOR ME, JUST WANT TO WATCH THE GAME. I USED TO PLAY D1 BASEBALL SO I ENJOY WATCHING THE SERIES. THESE GAMES ARE TO UNPREDICTABLE TO PLAY BIG MONEY ON THEM. SO FAR THIS SERIES I AM 5-1. I TOOK SOUTH CAROLINA IN GAME 1 AND HAVE HIT THE LAST 5.
I AM LOOKING HARD AT TEXAS TONITE. ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT GAME?

BTP

 

[Livin' Large]

Yeah, read above for my early thoughts.

 

[BigTymePlayer]

Gotcha, good luck today.

BTP,

I was just thinking, if you think Miami might destroy SW Missouri, then why don't you play the Canes -1.5 at +115? Seems like better value don't you think?

Big coaching edge to Texas

Don't underestimate Wayne Graham. The guy is a proven winner and the Owls totally have him to thank for taking them to where they are. I believe that Rice will win a NC soon, if not this year, because of him.

This should be an epic matchup tonight and one of the best games of the series. Rice has some sick pitching, we'll need another good performance out of Simmons to pull this one off.

 

[Livin' Large]

Monk,

Graham is a great coach, but he doesn't have the CWS experience that Augie has. The Owls have won two games in the CWS. Good luck tonight with the Horns!

 

[Felonious Monk]

I'm betting the SMS bats will be humming against Miami just like NCState's were last weekend.

Let the slugfest begin!

 

[Livin' Large]

I'm sticking with the side, but I think that's a really smart play. Good luck Monk!

 

[Felonious Monk]

yeah i'm on SMS's side as well.

i don't even think books give out totals for college ball.

GL to us.

 

[Livin' Large]

Mine does. Grand Central has over 13.5 at -110.

 

[Felonious Monk]

well that sucks for me.

what do they have the Texas-Rice game at? That one should be a low scoring affair.

 

[Livin' Large]

Over 10 at -115.
