Texas vs. Stanford Odds
Check out Collin Wilson's full NCAA baseball Super Regional preview here.
The Horns and Trees are set to lock up in what should be the most even series of the weekend.
Texas made light work of the Coral Gables Regional, winning three straight games with a small run differential of nine runs. Now, the Longhorns will throw Lucas Gordon and Lebarron Johnson Jr., two pitchers capable of eating innings, evidenced by Johnson throwing a complete game against host Miami.

Stanford did not have as easy of a path, losing to Texas A&M in the winners' bracket but advancing in a one-run victory over Cal State Fullerton. The Cardinal needed to take two against the Aggies to extend their host title, doing just that in two blowouts.
The sticks came alive for a Stanford team that finished top-10 nationally in batting average, homers per nine and slugging.

This looks to be a high-scoring weekend in Palo Alto, with totals projected from 14.5-16 depending on the pitching matchup.
The opening game of Gordon and Quinn Mathews is a near pick'em, while Johnson against Joey Dixon in Game 2 projects -120 for the Longhorns.
The opening market on series prices posted an inflated price on the Trees at -140, as no pitching combination gets Stanford as a favorite of -130 or higher.
Take Texas for the series with underdog money.
Series: Texas +110 or Better
