TCU vs Arkansas Prediction & Pick

TCU proved they are not a team to be underestimated as they jumped all over Arizona on Friday. The problem is that they now face off against an Arkansas team that is 31-4 on its home field this season. Not only that, but the Razorbacks are 27-2 in their last 29 home games against the Horned Frogs.

Keep in mind there is a revenge factor to consider, too, as TCU torched Arkansas by a score of 18-6 at Globe Life Field back in February. The Razorbacks are not going to let that happen again in front of their own fans, especially with Hagen Smith on the mound. He is 8-1 on the year with a 2.69 ERA.

I'll back the Razorbacks to come out on top as they simply show up when playing in Fayetteville.

Final Score Prediction: TCU: 5 | Arkansas: 7

TCU vs Arkansas Best Bet

As mentioned above, Smith has been great for the Razorbacks this season. Meanwhile, TCU will have Sam Stoutenborough -- who is 3-0 on the year with a 4.31 ERA -- on the mound. I expect a pitcher's duel to take place on Sunday, which makes backing the under a great option. Fewer than 14 runs have been scored in eight of Arkansas' last 10 games overall as well as in eight of TCU's last 13 games overall.

Bet: Under 13.5 Total Runs (-125)
