I dont see how you can like Texas and the Low. If Texas gets to the starter LSU will not go to their best guys preferring to save them behind the next starter in game #2.
Personally the number would have to be huge to EVER bet low in a college game, once past the starter you cant be sure if they wont score 25 on the bullpen.
Ill probably jinx them and im not betting it but LSU is hitting on all 8 and i think they sweep them in 2 games...

LSU undecided on pitcher tonight.
His options are either start sophomore Anthony Ranaudo three days after he hung up six rock-solid shutout innings against Arkansas or send sophomore Austin Ross to the mound with a chance to lead LSU back to the college baseball mountain top.
Ranaudo is 11-3 this season with a 2.87 ERA and 155 strikeouts. Ross has been the Tigers’ Sunday starter all season and has grappled with tough luck, which is manifested in a 6-7 record.
Ross won LSU’s CWS opener against Virginia in relief. But he has allowed a pair of two-run home runs in three innings of work in Omaha.
“Ranaudo has never pitched on three days rest,” Mainieri said. “I want to see how he feels when he wakes up (today), see how he feels. I’ve been thinking about a lot of little things. I haven’t given it enough thought.”
Following the Tigers’ 14-5 triumph against Arkansas last Friday, Ranaudo’s eyes widened and lit up as he talked about possibly starting tonight.
“Yeah, I’d definitely want the ball in that situation,” he said, referring to LSU holding a 1-0 lead.
LSU scored six of its seven runs with two outs Monday and now has 16 two-out runs in four CWS games (out of 39 runs). The Tigers are hitting .400 (22-of-5) in two-out situations. … LSU scored a first-inning run for a fifth game in a row. … The Tigers struck out 15 times against Texas, the second time this season they’ve whiffed that many times. LSU’s season-high is 17 strikeouts, which happened twice (Kentucky on March 13, Auburn on April 24.). … Monday’s loss was the Longhorns’ first this season when they led going into the ninth inning. They had been 39-0 in those situations. … Texas was 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position and is hitting .190 (12-for-63) with runners on base in the CWS.

LSU not going with the Ace..they will start Ross instead.
No pick on the game as LSU starter is shaky and they used ace reliever last night...Texas fans are calling for the coaches head already and who knows what effect that will have on the team......BUT Ov 11 -105 is unimaginable unless the Tex pitcher throws a shutout and it might not be high enough even then....By the way the Tex starter (so i heard) is the guy who came in last night and threw 6 or 8 pitches none over the plate and they had to pull him..Ov 11 has to be an error huh????? OV -105????? I mean i never use the L word but thats as good as it gets.....

LSU mailed it in...Beat by the linemaker once again. he had the goods on the side and total .....and i had a bag of rocks.
LSU thinks they are going to walk in tonight and blow them out....I hate when a team does that off a piss poor performance. you dont just turn momentum on and off like a light switch. They should have went for the kill last night or at least tried to give the impression they were...They seemed to be playing for the 3rd game before this 1 ever started...HUGE mistake for Maneri i think. I hope this 1 is not over early.
