Typically in the past I have just posted during the Regionals and CWS, but am going to try to post more during the regular season.
Today kicks off the second weekend of the season and there are some really good games with quite a few top teams squaring off against each other. #1 A&M just got done beating #5 UC Irvine 9-2 in the opening game of the Houston Classic. A&M gets #10 Rice tomorrow night. Rice first has to deal with #9 UCLA tonight.
Here is what I?m playing today. As in any sport, its early so all plays will be pretty small until we see what some of these teams start producing on the field.
Georgia +105 (@ Arizona) for 2 units - WIN ? I?ll gladly take Georgia, a top 10 caliber team, in a dog position even if it is on the road at a tough venue. These two had an early season series last year @ Athens with Arizona taking 2 of 3. Two senior pitchers start tonight and are the same two who faced off last year in the series opener that Georgia won. Trevor Holder for Georgia is more of a finesse pitcher but has a ton of experience and talent as displayed in last year?s CWS. Preston Guilmet is a power pitcher going tonight for Zona. Both offenses have flourished against inferior teams so far. In the end, a slight edge in hitting and a powerful and experienced bullpen make Georgia a great play in my mind.
Ole Miss -155 (vs. TCU) for 2 units ? TCU is the early season surprise after upending Cal State Fullerton in 2 of 3 in the first weekend. There were high expectations for the Rebels coming into the season as seen by their top 10 pre-season ranking. Despite a ton of hitting, they lost a couple games the first weekend to some pretty inferior foes. These two also faced off early last year in a series @ Ft. Worth with TCU taking 2 of 3. Two power pitchers go tonight in Jr. Tyler Lockwood for TCU and Jr. Aaron Barrett for the Rebels. Barrett is in his first year for Ole Miss coming from a JuCo where he was a standout. Ole Miss settled down from the opening weekend disaster in pummeling Central Arkansas during the week. On paper they are one of the most complete teams in the country and it now looks like they have woken up and are ready to be play like that.
