Tennessee vs Stanford Prediction & Pick

This is a classic matchup between an elite pitching staff and a standout offensive lineup. Tennessee enters Monday ranked second in team ERA (3.62) and second in WHIP (1.16). Meanwhile, Stanford checks in second in total hits (739) and ninth in batting average (.318). It's going to be a battle.

Keep in mind that Stanford is the one with a slight pitching advantage here, though. Mathews is 10-4 on the season with a 3.60 ERA and struck out a season-best 16 batters in his most recent outing. Dollander has been solid with a 7-6 record and a 4.50 ERA, but he allowed 4 earned runs his last time out.

The Cardinal are 33-4 when scoring at least 6 runs and I like them to keep that trend going in a victory.

Final Score Prediction: Tennessee: 4 | Stanford: 6

Tennessee vs Stanford Best Bet

Stanford gave Wake Forest all it could handle on Saturday, which is worth noting considering the Demon Deacons are the favorites to hoist the trophy at the end of the tournament. It shows that the Cardinal can contend against any opponent, especially when their ace (Mathews) is on the mound. Trust hot hitters like Tommy Troy and Eddie Park to back up their pitcher with enough runs.

Bet: Stanford Cardinal ML (+102)
