If there's a team with decades of postseason frustration, it's the Regional host in East Carolina. The Pirates have played in 34 Regionals, advancing to the Super Regionals seven times.
East Carolina has never played in Omaha in program history.
The big news for the Pirates is ace starter Trey Yesavage's injury during the AAC Tournament. The junior is healthy and targeting a return on Saturday, potentially against a red-hot team from the ACC.
Wake Forest has spent the last few weeks on extreme highs and lows seen only in the crypto market.
The Demon Deacons swept Super Regional seed Clemson in mid-May, only to be swept by NC State in the final regular-season series.
Head coach Tom Walter advanced his club to the ACC semifinals over Super Regional seed North Carolina before being bounced by Florida State.
David Falco is expected to get the start in the opener, while Chase Burns projects as a flat -110 in a head-to-head matching against ECU's Yesavage.
The Deacs' hopes may come down to the up-and-down nature of third starter Josh Hartle, who has given up at least five earned runs in four of his last six starts.
VCU got hot before the Atlantic 10 Tournament and now represents the conference despite poor analytics in the power department. The Rams have won nine of their past 10 games but struggled against upper-tier competition this season with a 5-8 combined record in Quad 1 and Quad 2 games.
Sadly, a two-game set with East Carolina was canceled due to weather back in March.
The showdown between Wake Forest and East Carolina will be electric, as Burns and Yesavage project at -110 if pitted against each other.
The coin-flip ends with pitchers not named Burns or Yesavage, as Pirates starter Ethan Norby projects as a -150 favorite over Falco and Hartle from Wake.
There's a heavy appetite for the Demon Deacons in early ticket action, so the best price on East Carolina may come before first pitch. With the Pirates favored in every matchup except for a Yesavage vs. Burns battle, get the best number before first pitch and hedge when Yesavage takes the mound.
Pick: East Carolina +160 or Better
