On Draft Kings. Guess that confirms Holman is starting

Their staff supposedly isn’t elite according to dudes on SECN tonight. They have a bit of the Tennessee syndrome in that they hit a lot of HRs but they play in a tiny park.

If we throw Holman I like our chances.

Now UK is -150 and LSU is +120. I think these initial odds had more to do with LSU being a public team than Vegas having any real inside scoop on college baseball.

That is for the run line odds. ML is LSU -130 and UK +100

Kind of BS that we are -130. LSU baseball gets too much credit from vegas.

Vegas isn't in the business of "giving credit" to LSU. I love how so many of you think every TV network, every announcer, etc is just out to get LSU.

Perhaps they think Holman is pitching, and UK is throwing off, thus giving LSU a great chance to win this game. But you are probably right, it's some major plot twist and Vegas is actually on our side because we are LSU.

Act we are the only fools as a fanbase that actually probably throw some Jack on college baseball games.
We are probably one of the most bet on college baseball teams. I am taking my money I won yesterday and just simply putting half of it right back on the tigers today.

Yea…I wasn’t going for that at all dumb shite.

LSU gets credit in Vegas because of the history they have in baseball. I don’t think it’s some type of crazy misconception or some shite like that jackass.

Meh, based on jays answer in mosconas interview yesterday, id say someone other than holman is starting today as it should be.


Also, as i said when the top 15 team thing was brought up last week, it wasnt an outlandish statement. Several metrics have lsu and kentucky about even on a neutral. Lsu is definitely a top 15 team in my ratings Factor in potential motivations for each team, and a slight homefield advantage for lsu, the -130 number makes sense if the starting pitchers are even.
Lsu is a pretty well rounded team in advanced offensive and defensive metrics, dont get twisted by a couple 50/50 games going against them

This isn’t their style, no idea where you’re getting this from.

Doing zero research I would guess LSU baseball gets more action than any baseball team in the country (except Alabama those few games last year )

From what I’m seeing it looks like their field dimensions are very similar to Alex Box

Vegas is really bad with college baseball to be fair

umm if this is the case, it is due to a pitching change, not an initial bad line. LSU isn't moving 50 points that quickly.

I think they are very much a small ball team, walks, steals, bunts, etc...they are nothing like Tenn.

You think that’s how Vegas works?
