College Baseball Picks April 28th
All College Baseball Bets Are To Win 1 Unit
2:00 PM +150 Mississippi State at Vanderbilt -195
PROBABLE PITCHERS
Mississippi State: Jurrangelo Cijntje SO SHP (6-1, 3.50 ERA, 69 K, 23 BB, 54 IP, 2.84 SIERA)
Vanderbilt: TBA
My general rule of thumb is that when a college baseball team has publicly stamped a TBA on their probable pitcher, I try to fade it. Vanderbilt’s first two pitchers in their rotation are Bryce Cunningham and Carter Holton. Cunningham tossed a complete game on Friday. Holton threw five innings, allowing 5 runs on Saturday. Brennan Seiber (52 PC) and Greysen Carter (6 PC) appeared in relief during the ‘Dores’ 7-4 loss.
Devin Futrell began the season as Vandy’s 3rd starter, but the combination of his lack of success and injury/soreness has removed him from the rotation. Carter was an early option as a starter. However, Commodores Head Coach Tim Corbin seems to like Carter’s explosiveness better in shorter stints out of the pen.
Last week’s Game 3 starter, JD Thompson, was ejected for having a “sticky substance” on his personnel. He was suspended for 4 games and cannot appear on Sunday. Immediately following Thompson, stud Freshman Ethan McElvain attempted to appear in relief and suffered a back injury during his rushed warmup pitches. I think Corbin is in a pinch with today’s starting pitcher.
Opposing the Vandy Boys is Mississippi State’s ambidextrous pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje. The switch-pitcher has been very solid this season and gives the Bulldogs the advantage on the mound. This won’t be automatic, as Vanderbilt is 27-4 at Hawkins Field. However, the +150 price certainly offers tremendous value in this rubber match.
+150 Mississippi State ML (DraftKings)
2:00 PM +135 Virginia Tech at North Carolina -175
PROBABLE PITCHERS
Virginia Tech: Griffin Stieg JR RHP (3-0, 3.06 ERA, 39 K, 15 BB, 32.1 IP, 3.31 SIERA)
North Carolina: Aidan Haugh JR RHP (3-2, 4.79 ERA, 45 K, 11 BB, 47 IP, 3.42 SIERA)
North Carolina is 26-1 at Boshamer Stadium this season. Do I need to say more? This price will probably climb, yes I like this pick as a parlay piece as well.
Virginia Tech started ACC play at 10-2. The Hokies had the benefit of playing four of the six ACC teams with the fewest conference wins. However, Virginia Tech has since crashed back down to Earth, enduring a 2-9 stretch in their last 11 conference games.
North Carolina has played five series at home this season. The Tar Heels have swept all five 3-game sets. I think UNC will break out the brooms once again this weekend.
