Season Record: 8-8 for +1.6 units
Texas A&M +130 (@ Baylor) for 2 units ? I just don?t get this line as I figured A&M would be favored, even at Baylor. A&M has the edge offensively and in the pitching matchup. Bears are trying to prevent the 3 game sweep (first two games were @ A&M), but just don?t see it happening. Sophomore Shawn Tolleson is the starter for Baylor. He has a 4.97 ERA in 12 2/3 IP from two starts. Tolleson has a WHIP of 1.58 and 11 K?s thus far. Opponents are batting .273 against him. The Aggies send Sophomore Barret Loux to the mound. Loux has a 4.11 ERA in 15 1/3 IP covering three starts. He has a WHIP of 0.98 and 23 K?s so far this season. Loux is letting batters hit only .172 against him. These two pitchers squared off last year as the Aggies won that game 11-1. Loux pitched 5 scoreless innings while Tolleson didn?t make it out of the third inning, giving up 6 runs. Another thing to consider is that Tolleson hasn?t pitched since Feb. 27th and is likely to be a bit rusty. He didn?t start last weekend as he was being rested from an injury. There are conflicting reports as to what the injury was, but it appears it was tightness in his throwing arm. All signs point to the Aggies in this one, so I?ll gladly take them at a dog price.
