College World Series - Game 2

Leaning Michigan to sweep the seriestoday at +190 odds.

Any reason why I shouldn't?

Any deep info on pitching matchups today is appreciated from someone who followed the college games.

true. I thought Vandy was better team too. But Michigan outplayed them.

Better pitching, better bullpen, hitting still I dont want to give the edge. may be its even hitting. Better base running and athleticism and they are playing as a team and having lot of fun.

on the other hand Michigan didnt pitch well, there is no energy. looks like lot of stars in one team and they dont care much for championship as most of them already got drafted in MLB.

I meant this team as Vandy. Dont see lot of energy and commitment in that team yesterday.

why will they use bullpen guys if they have 3 starters in game 2 of a 3 game series.

yes, better to get it over with it while they have momentum and adrenaline running high.

based on what I saw last night, UM is the team to back.  I am putting half unit on +185 and half on the RL +1.5 +105.  Good luck all.

I know nothing about college baseball but the fact that Vandy was a ~-180ish through 190ish favorite last night, LOST and is AGAIN a -220ish favorite tonight? Vandy wins.. 

if favs always wins in baseball we can all blindly bet the juice and drink some beer while books make us money

Michigan made a surprising call for its starting pitcher in Game 2 of the national championship series, choosing freshman right-hander Isaiah Page to face Vanderbilt Tuesday night.

Page made only four starts this season among his 25 appearances. He has a 4-0 record with a 2.98 ERA, 28 strikeouts and 16 walks in 48 ? innings.

I would never bet against Vandy's pitcher today. 

Last game Vandy faced elimination this Kid went out and threw a No hit shutout 19K game. 

From Action Network (who predicted Game 1 Michigan win but predicts Vandy Game 2/3 victories). High level they claim Vandy struggles with LHP (which was last night) and pounds righties (tonight):

Michigan has certainly been riding a hot streak, as the season long statistics heavily favor Vanderbilt. Michigan is top 60 in most offensive categories, but has not cracked the top 25 in any individual statistic. Fielding percentage also shows a discrepancy, with .

Despite not facing a single SEC team, Michigan is here because of dominant starting pitching. The wild card between the two pitching staffs is Tommy Henry, the only left handed starting pitcher.

The Vanderbilt offense has been slowed at times when facing left handed pitching. The Commodores’ first Omaha game was against left hander Reid Detmers from Louisville. Detmers threw 5.2 innings for five strikeouts and just one earned run.

In the SEC tournament, left hander Ethan Small limited Vanderbilt to one earned run over 7 innings also striking out 11 batters. .

Kumar Rocker will go for Vanderbilt in Game 2, while Michigan coach Erik Bakich has not named a starter. With Karl Kauffmann going 100 pitches on Friday against Texas Tech, expect Jeff Criswell for Game 2.

As for best bets, Game 1 is priced correctly but with Vanderbilt’s short history against left handed pitching, I will be on the . Kumar Rocker’s price in Game 2 will not accurately reflect his recent domination, and with the Commodores against a right-handed Michigan pitcher, I will take the .

A possible Game 3 will have Vanderbilt -200 or more with Mason Hickman facing Karl Kauffmann. In lieu of the spread in Game 3, I will put a normal unit on .
