Coral Gables Regional Odds
Mark Light Field is expected to get plenty of rain from a heavy storm system currently residing in the Gulf of Mexico.
Because Miami boasts the best starting and bullpen staff of any team in this Regional, the Hurricanes are in prime position to throw any arm at Canisius while saving ace Carson Palmquist for Game 2.
Despite a losing record against the RPI top 50, Ole Miss ended the season with a flurry of wins. The Rebels swept Missouri, beat Regional host Southern Miss in Hattiesburg and swept LSU in Baton Rouge.
Ole Miss got hot on the road before a single-elimination scenario played out in a short 3-1 loss to Vanderbilt in the SEC Tournament. Ole Miss is expected to throw Dylan DeLucia or Hunter Elliott against Arizona’s Garrett Irvin or TJ Nichols.
While the Rebels won plenty of games on the road down the stretch, the Wildcats struggled away from Tuscon all season. The Rebels and Wildcats are a projected coin-flip on Friday night, far from the current posted line of Ole Miss -155.
The Rebels have top-25 pop in terms of home runs and slugging to hang with any team in the Regional, but it's the timing of Miami and its southpaw ace that wins this Regional.
Look to bet the Hurricanes not just for the Regional, but also on the days Palmquist is listed as the starter.
Pick: Miami +100
