Betting College Baseball

Today's episode is a bit different in that we are recording on Wednesday, normally we record and publish shows on Tuesdays and Fridays, but we're doing today's show on a Wednesday.
We put out on X that rationale behind not having a Tuesday show mainly because the books put out the lines so late and more importantly, we didn't have any plays on any of the Tuesday slate of games. Something we always preach on this podcast is proper bankroll management and you shouldn't have action just for the sake of having action.
Also, today's show will be our only episode this week. No Friday pod and we will get into the whys on that one a bit later in the show.

Welcome to Omaha! Not, really. Nick is still out in Tennessee and I'm still in California but the Omaha eight is set, otherwise known as the ACC - SEC invitation with four teams hailing from the Atlantic Coast Conference and the other 4 coming from the South Eastern Conference. Tales of this being the year of the mid-major College World Series champion have been greatly exaggerated.
Virginia and North Carolina open up Omaha today at 2 PM eastern with a moneyline of Virginia the underdog at plus money, +105 and the Tar Heels as the slight favorite at -135. UVA as the underdog gets the Run line of 1.5 at -150 while UNC is priced at +120. The total, always popular whenever the college world series starts at Charles Schwab Field sits at a flat 12, juiced to -115 on either side.
In the primetime match up scheduled for a 7 pm eastern start, The Florida State Seminoles take on the Tennessee Volunteers. The Vols are a -175 favorite with the Seminoles taking plus money at 135 on the moneyline. Run lines sit at 1 and a half, Tennessee giving up those runs at +100 and Florida State at a negative -130. Total is a full run lower than the previous game, sitting at 11 flat at -115 on either side.
