It is not surprising that Vanderbilt is the favorite in the first game, however, what is surprising is that the odds are not closer. These are two evenly matched teams as Vandy finished their season with a 48-16 record while Mississippi State finished with a one-game difference at 48-17.
Looking back at how these two faced off in their three-game season series, it was Vanderbilt who walked away with a 2-1 series lead having won the first and last games of the series.
In those three games, Vanderbilt has been able to cover the runline in both of their wins having won the first game by four runs and the third game by three runs.
As for the game total, the Over should be one of the smartest bets that a bettors could make as it has hit in all three games being that either Vanderbilt or Mississippi State has scored six or more runs by themselves in all three games. That alone should be enough for bettors to slam the Over.
Those baseball bettors who are looking to get in on the action can do so on Monday at 7:00 p.m. EST as the game will be broadcasted on ESPN2 live from Omaha, Nebraska.
