Ole Miss Rebels (-195) at Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (+150) | O/U 12.0 (-115/-115) Regional Picks
The host Ole Miss Rebels (40-20) were stunned at home in the Oxford Regional by the Murray State Racers. The Rebels committed two errors, while the Racers piled up 12 hits, to just eight for the hosts, as Ole Miss fell 9-6 in the opener.
Meanwhile, the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (46-13) were upended 9-2 by Georgia Tech of the ACC, setting up a loser’s bracket battle at 2 p.m. ET.
Ole Miss fell behind 4-0 after two innings, but the Rebels took a 5-4 lead after four frames. It was a seesaw battle, tied 6-6 after seven innings, but the Rebels bullpen coughed up three runs in the final two innings.
3B Luke Hill and 1B Will Furniss each posted a pair of hits while both drawing walks. 2B Judd Utermark had a homer with three RBI, while DH Campbell Smithwick belted a solo homer. Ole Miss will need all of that, and then some, to avoid an embarrassing ouster on their home diamond.
Look for Ole Miss to get the job done, rebounding from an ugly setback. Let’s go high on the total, too, as the Ole Miss bats should come alive early against the ‘Toppers.
Picks: Ole Miss Rebels -1.5 (-120) & Over 12.0 Total Runs (-115)
