The Gators went to Charles Schwab Field on Wednesday and chose violence. Florida faced Kentucky in an elimination game, and instead of wilting, it rang the Wildcats up for 15 runs while advancing to the Bracket 2 finals.

Head coach Kevin O’Sullivan’s team must now take two straight against Texas A&M to reach the College World Series championship round.

For the Aggies, a 5-1 victory over Kentucky on Tuesday allowed multiple bullpen options to reset, including Chris Cortez, the hottest arm in Omaha.

With the season-ending injury to Shane Sdao, the most likely starter for the Aggies is Tanner Jones. The transfer from Jacksonville State last saw action in relief during the Super Regional round while last starting against Grambling in the College Station Regional.

Injuries persist in A&M's lineup as well.

In addition to the season-ending injury to future first-round MLB Draft pick Braden Montgomery, Game 1 defensive hero Jace LaViolette is dealing with a hamstring tweak suffered in Tuesday's victory over Kentucky.

The Gators, meanwhile, are set to throw Liam Peterson on Wednesday night after the freshman threw 64 pitches in Florida's CWS opener on Saturday.

Betting Picks & Prediction

Texas A&M projects as a heavy favorite of -240 with Jones on the mound against Peterson — a result of the freshman’s poor start to the season for the Gators.

Florida's key bullpen pieces are fresh following its Wednesday morning victory, so the arms of Fisher Jameson, Cade Fisher and Brandon Neely will be the key to winning Bracket 2.

For those with "Florida to Win Bracket 2" tickets, a small hedge on Texas A&M is a wise strategy.

The weather will change slightly for the night shift after Florida posted more than two touchdowns in Wednesday's morning session. Winds will move from blowing out to right field to a cross-stadium orientation that will turn right-field fly balls into foul slicers.

Both offenses are firing on all cylinders. With a chance the best bullpen pieces are held back for Thursday, the best play here is the over.

Pick: Over 12.5 or Better
