Stanford vs Texas Prediction & Pick

It was a devastating end to a great game for Stanford on Saturday as a costly error made three of the five runs that scored unearned in the ninth. The Cardinal will look to bounce back with left-hander Quinn Matthews expect to start on Sunday. He is 9-4 on the season with a 3.65 ERA and 1.23 WHIP.

The Longhorns are sending a standout pitcher to the mound as well in Lebarron Johnson Jr. The 20-year-old is 8-3 on the year with a 2.62 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. It's tough to go against the home team, but Texas has the pitching to match Stanford and has scored double-digit runs in six of its last 13 games.

Give me an upset as Texas wins on the road to earn its third consecutive College World Series trip.

Final Score Prediction: Stanford: 4 | Texas: 5

Stanford vs Texas Best Bet

Backing a Longhorns upset at +122 odds is tempting here, but the value that comes with betting on the under is too hard to pass up. Both Matthews and Johnson Jr. have been great this season as they know how to keep opposing offenses in check with a deep arsenal of pitches. Under 10.5 runs have been scored in five of Texas' last seven games overall and I expect that trend to continue on Sunday.

Bet: Under 10.5 Total Runs (-118)
