Texas vs Miami Prediction & Pick

Miami's top-tier offense was on display yesterday as it led 7-0 over Maine after just two innings. The Hurricanes will look to get off to another hot start today and they have a good chance of doing so. After all, they're batting .300 (No. 42 in NCAA) while averaging 1.9 home runs per game (T-No. 9) with a .552 slugging percentage (No. 21).

Texas is a solid program, but it's important to remember that it else lost back-to-back games (12-3 on aggregate) before the NCAA Tournament began. Considering how the Longhorns are only averaging 3.5 runs over their last four games, I don't see how they can keep pace with the Hurricanes' blistering bats.

Don't expect an upset here — Miami will emerge as the victor.

Final Score Prediction: Miami: 9 | Texas: 5

Texas vs Miami Best Bet

Betting options are limited in the college baseball landscape, I'm taking Miami to cover the 1.5-run spread. Again, the Hurricanes' bats are dangerous once they heat up and that seems to be the case after yesterday's blowout victory. The Longhorns are capable of creating offense themselves, but that's unlikely given how cold they've been lately.

Bet: Miami -1.5 (+130)
