Midweeks can get crazy, it’s a completely different way of attacking a handicap than on a weekend.
First of all, starting pitchers have the most impact in dictating what kind of gamescript a certain matchup will have. It is easier projecting pitchers for weekend games than midweek ones. Secondly, on weekends with a good starting pitcher you can count on those guys giving you anywhere from four to seven innings. During midweek games sometimes you don’t even get a full six outs from the SP.
The best way to handicap midweeks is based on how strong each team’s offense is first and foremost. Then the depth of their pitching staffs, not necessarily that game's starting pitcher.
College Baseball Picks For February 17th
YTD: 4-2, +1.65u (All bets are to win 1 unit)
*Lines listed are at time of writing. Odds are subject to change*
3:00 PM ET: -115 Nebraska at Grand Canyon -115 (O/U 13.5)
PROBABLE PITCHERS
Nebraska: Jackson Brockett (2024: 35.2 IP, 4.54 ERA, 29 K, 8 BB, 3.79 SIERA)
Grand Canyon: TBA (Ben Smith, 2024: 27 IP, 6.00 ERA, 27 K, 12 BB, 3.92 SIERA)
Let’s start with what we know about this matchup first. Nebraska has a very deep pitching staff and returned four regular starting pitchers from last year’s team.
Southpaw Jackson Brockett will toe the rubber Monday afternoon for the Cornhuskers. Brockett won’t blow anybody away with his 3-pitch repertoire and low-90s heater. But he does offer Senior experience and won’t give up very many free passes.
Nebraska has had a very emotional trip to Arizona this week. If you haven’t caught wind of the stories check out some of Jack DeLongchamps’ videos on X. These last few days the offense is riding high and we’re looking to hitch our wagon to their momentum.
Currently, we don’t know who Grand Canyon will start on the mound. Best guess is that it could be Ben Smith. He started six games a season ago, was solid, and hasn’t appeared in a game yet this weekend. Smith is a 6’7 LHP with a fastball in the high-80s and some alright offspeed offerings from a funky arm slot.
Conclusion: let’s take the deep pitching staff with an offense that has swung hot sticks the last two games.
The Bet: -115 Nebraska ML (Play this to -134)
Good luck to those who tail these College Baseball Picks For February 17th!
