And then there were two. No, not talking about me and Nick... we're talking about Tennessee and Texas A&M. In the ACC vs SEC invitational played in Omaha, Nebraska, the SEC prevailed with Volunteers and the Aggies advancing to the best of three series that starts on Saturday.Despite hailing from the same conference, these two teams did not meet in the regular season due to both residing in separate division. They did however meet once in Hoover, Alabama during the SEC tournament on May 23rd. The Volunteers prevailed in that one winning 7-4 in an elimination game. The Vols would end up winning the tournament and eventually named the No. 1 overall seed on Selection Monday. This College World Series championship series couldn't be more chalky unless Kentucky was there. Tennessee has the opportunity to become the first No. 1 overall seed to win the College World Series since the Miami Hurricanes did it in 1999. Standing in their way is the No. 3 overall seed, the Texas A&M Aggies. Both teams entering the tournament were the odds on favorite to get here with the sportsbooks making them the shortest odds to win it all. ▶️ Visit our website: BettingCollegeBaseball.com▶️ Follow us on Twitter: @BetCollegeBSB▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on the Action Network App: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Twitter:@nhathcoat413 ▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Instagram: @nhathcoat▶️ Follow David Lamm on Twitter: @CalStateOmaha▶️ Follow David Lamm on Instagram: @the_Dave_Lamm

Welcome to Omaha! Not, really. Nick is still out in Tennessee and I'm still in California but the Omaha eight is set, otherwise known as the ACC - SEC invitation with four teams hailing from the Atlantic Coast Conference and the other 4 coming from the South Eastern Conference. Tales of this being the year of the mid-major College World Series champion have been greatly exaggerated.Virginia and North Carolina open up Omaha today at 2 PM eastern with a moneyline of Virginia the underdog at plus money, +105 and the Tar Heels as the slight favorite at -135. UVA as the underdog gets the Run line of 1.5 at -150 while UNC is priced at +120. The total, always popular whenever the college world series starts at Charles Schwab Field sits at a flat 12, juiced to -115 on either side.In the primetime match up scheduled for a 7 pm eastern start, The Florida State Seminoles take on the Tennessee Volunteers. The Vols are a -175 favorite with the Seminoles taking plus money at 135 on the moneyline. Run lines sit at 1 and a half, Tennessee giving up those runs at +100 and Florida State at a negative -130. Total is a full run lower than the previous game, sitting at 11 flat at -115 on either side.Highlights include:🎙️ Smart Money for CWS Futures (5:03)🎙️ Omaha Unders the trend again? (10:52)🎙️ Takes on UNC/UVa game (14:16)🎙️ Takes on Tenn/Florida State (18:52)🎙️ Takes on Kentucky/NCST game (28:21)🎙️ Takes on Texas A&M/Florida (33:37) ▶️ Visit our website: BettingCollegeBaseball.com▶️ Follow us on X: @BetCollegeBSB▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on the Action Network App: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on X:@nhathcoat413 ▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Instagram: @nhathcoat▶️ Follow David Lamm on X: @CalStateOmaha▶️ Follow David Lamm on Instagram: @the_Dave_Lamm

We've gone from the Field of 64 Regionals and are now down to the Sweet 16 advancing to the Super Regionals. Tennessee survived the curse of the No. 1 overall seed and takes on this year's Cinderella, the Evansville Purple Aces. I'm sure we will hear a lot of about that one seeing how our very own Nick Hathcoat lives in Faragut, Tennessee the next town over from Knoxville but also played for the Aces in 2013 and 2014.Other non-hosts that advanced into the Super Regionals includes UConn coming out of the Norman, Oklahoma regional. They face Florida State today as the first game of the Friday slate. Kansas State took the Fayettville Regional and will face Virginia in the fourth and final game today. West Virginia came out of the Tucson Regional and head to Chapel Hill to take on the UNC Tar Heels. All of these underdogs advancing were either three seeds and in Evansville's case, a four seed?On the right side of the bracket, the top of the bracket features match ups of number ones with both Kentucky and Oregon State advancing as regional hosts while NC State and Georgia also hosted last weekend and will do battle in Athens first thing tomorrow. Last year's College World Series runner's up, the Florida Gators, advanced out of the Stillwater Regional and takes on Clemson in game three tomorrow. Oregon, a number 3 seed in the Santa Barbara Regional travels to College Station to take on Texas A&M. More chalk on the right of the bracket compared to the left but still some potential for some upsets.Highlights include:🎙️ Thoughts heading into Super regionals (7:33)🎙️ Futures for Friday's games (10:39)🎙️ Moneyline Parlay for Friday (19:15)🎙️ Potential Round Robin Parlays of Favorites (32:22)🎙️ Underdog run lines or MLs (25:46) ▶️ Visit our website: BettingCollegeBaseball.com▶️ Follow us on Twitter: @BetCollegeBSB▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on the Action Network App: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on X: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Instagram:@nhathcoat ▶️ Follow David Lamm on X: @CalStateOmaha▶️ Follow David Lamm on Instagram: @the_Dave_Lamm

It's Friday, May 24th and we are three days into conference tournament season with three days to go before we find out the Field of 64 with a chance to get to Omaha. But we're not here to talk about college baseball in general. We're here to give you the insight and knowledge to help you bet on the games today and into the weekend.We last released an episode on Wednesday so we will recap how we fared on the official picks made on the podcast and any others officially made in the Action Network app and in social media after the episode was released.Highlights include:🎙️ Strategy betting conference tournaments (2:31)🎙️ Peek at lines for Friday  (7:01)🎙️ Two official plays for Friday (29:45)🎙️ Wind report for Friday games (34:09) ▶️ Visit our website: BettingCollegeBaseball.com▶️ Follow us on Twitter:@BetCollegeBSB ▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on the Action Network App: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Twitter:@nhathcoat413 ▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Instagram: @nhathcoat▶️ Follow David Lamm on Twitter: @CalStateOmaha▶️ Follow David Lamm on Instagram: @the_Dave_Lamm

Conference tournaments started yesterday to some mixed results. It was apparent that some teams knew they were already solidly into the NCAA tournament while other were scratching and clawing their way off the bubble and a good showing in their conference tournament can help the selection committee make their decision.In today's episode we'll recap how some of our picks fared, including a clean 6-0 sweep on Thursday. A look at some of our leans and picks for today and also a look at the neutral site tournaments and how wind can affect the totals market when placing your bets.Highlights include:🎙️ Recap of undefeated plays from Thursday (2:09)🎙️ Leans for Wednesday of conference tourneys (7:05)🎙️ Three official plays for Wednesday (27:30)🎙️ Wind Conditions for conference tournaments (34:29) ▶️ Visit our website: BettingCollegeBaseball.com▶️ Follow us on Twitter: @BetCollegeBSB▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on the Action Network App: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Twitter: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Instagram: @nhathcoat▶️ Follow David Lamm on Twitter: @CalStateOmaha▶️ Follow David Lamm on Instagram: @the_Dave_Lamm

A late start today due to the lions share of weekend series starting on Thursday and going through Saturday ahead of the start of weekend conferences. We needed a bit more time to research and confirm starting pitchers before handing out betting advice.Highlights include:🎙️ Leans for Thursday, May 16 (3:42)🎙️ Plays for Friday, May 10 (14:10)🎙️ News nuggets to keep an eye on this weekend (29:46) ▶️ Visit our website: BettingCollegeBaseball.com▶️ Follow us on Twitter: @BetCollegeBSB▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on the Action Network App: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Twitter: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Instagram: @nhathcoat▶️ Follow David Lamm on Twitter: @CalStateOmaha▶️ Follow David Lamm on Instagram: @the_Dave_Lamm

After two weeks of skipping Tuesday episodes, one due to traveling and the other due to the books not putting out lines, we're back to recording on this Tuesday, May 14, 2024. Looking ahead to this weekend, this is the final slate of series on the docket within conference play for a lot of conferences before conference tournaments crank up and end before memorial Day, selection Monday.But before we get too far ahead of ourselves, we're going to take a look back at this past weekend, see how we fared in the sports books and then hunt some value for this final Tuesday of non-conference gamesHighlights include:🎙️ Recap of plays from Friday, May 10 (3:51)🎙️ Preview of 5/14 slate (13:30)▶️ Visit our website: BettingCollegeBaseball.com▶️ Follow us on Twitter: @BetCollegeBSB▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on the Action Network App: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Twitter: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Instagram:@nhathcoat ▶️ Follow David Lamm on Twitter: @CalStateOmaha▶️ Follow David Lamm on Instagram: @the_Dave_Lamm

We're recording this a little later than normal because, well, the sports book released their lines a little bit later than normal. Never the less, we're going to hunt some value and see if the books made any mistakes when putting out those lines and see if we can't provide you listeners with some games and match ups to target for this Friday, May 10th.Last episode we recorded on Wednesday with a smaller slate of games and Nick did not end up having any official plays. We did preview the handful of series that started on Thursday, yesterday including the Georgia / South Carolina and the Cincinnati / BYU series. Both Thursday games went over the totals of 12 so for those that listened to Wednesday's podcast, hopefully you were able to grab that nuggets and cashed your tickets.Highlights include:🎙️ Leans for Friday, May 10 (3:45)🎙️ Plays for Friday, May 10 (13:30)🎙️ UC Irvine/Long Beach State Notes (31:41)🎙️ Iowa/Illinois notes (34:30)🎙️ Weather affecting Florida State/Pitt series (37:52) ▶️ Visit our website: BettingCollegeBaseball.com▶️ Follow us on Twitter: @BetCollegeBSB▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on the Action Network App: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Twitter: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Instagram: @nhathcoat▶️ Follow David Lamm on Twitter: @CalStateOmaha▶️ Follow David Lamm on Instagram: @the_Dave_Lamm

Today's episode will be a bit different in that we are recording on Wednesday morning when we typically put out Mid-week content on Tuesdays. Also different, we don't have any leans or picks because the Wednesday slate leaves a little to be desired with only a handful of games that the betting public may have an interest in are on the docket. The main reason is that none of the sports books have released money lines, much less Run lines and totals as of 9 am eastern.But we did want to get a chance to recap the weekend in the books and for those that tailed Nick's picks yesterday either on X or within the Acton Network App.Highlights include:🎙️ Recap of weekend picks & leans (2:02)🎙️ Recap of Saturday card (5:49)🎙️ Recap of 4-12 Sunday card (6:34)🎙️ Recap of Tuesday's picks (11:42)🎙️ Approach to betting mid-week games down the stretch (13:32)🎙️ Wednesday games to consider (23:38) 🎙️ Thursday series Game 1 considerations (26:35) ▶️ Visit our website: BettingCollegeBaseball.com▶️ Follow us on Twitter: @BetCollegeBSB▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on the Action Network App: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Twitter: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Instagram: @nhathcoat▶️ Follow David Lamm on Twitter: @CalStateOmaha▶️ Follow David Lamm on Instagram: @the_Dave_Lamm

Apologies to those expecting a mid-week podcast this past Tuesday. Dave and his wife took a short vacation starting on Monday that actually brought them to Tennessee where Nick they all got to meet in person and take in a college baseball game together.Unfortunately, the Californians were the bad luck charm and the Tennessee Volunteers lost to Lipscomb with them in attendance, the first home mid-week loss for the Vols in 2024.Unfortunately with technology the way it is and a tight travel schedule, Dave was unable to record on Tuesday morning ahead of the normal slate of mid-week games but Nick and Dave are back on track with our schedule for this Friday, May 3rd.Highlights include:🎙️ Recap of Nick's 2-1 card from Tuesday (6:37)🎙️ Leans for Friday, May 3, 2024 (7:49)🎙️ Official Plays  for Friday, May 3, 2024 (19:36)🎙️ Texas A&M @ LSU (21:42)🎙️ Oklahoma State @ Texas (24:20)🎙️ 2-Leg ML Parlay (28:00) 🎙️ Intriguing series to keep an eye on (30:22) ▶️ Visit our website: BettingCollegeBaseball.com▶️ Follow us on Twitter: @BetCollegeBSB▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on the Action Network App: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Twitter: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Instagram: @nhathcoat▶️ Follow David Lamm on Twitter: @CalStateOmaha▶️ Follow David Lamm on Instagram: @the_Dave_Lamm

The month of April is nearly in the books and we're headed into the final weekend of college baseball series before opening up the stretch run into May. Last night, four games played that you could bet on with three of the four favorites winning easily. The lone outlier? The Virginia Cavaliers getting beat at Boston College, a game that was played in Fenway Park. Today's and Saturday's finale will be played on campus at Chestnut Hill.Highlights include:🎙️ DBU struggles at the window (2:08)🎙️ 4 Leans for Friday 4/26/2024 (6:36)🎙️ 3 Series with potential high scoring/Overs (12:42)🎙️ 4 Plays for Friday 4/26/2024 (20:47)🎙️ Big Series to watch - Duke/FSU (35:00 )🎙️ Civil War Baseball series (37:46)🎙️ Oklahoma/Texas  Baseball series (41:32) 🎙️ Possibility of west coast not hosting regionals (43:46)▶️ Visit our website: BettingCollegeBaseball.com▶️ Follow us on Twitter: @BetCollegeBSB▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on the Action Network App: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Twitter: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Instagram: @nhathcoat▶️ Follow David Lamm on Twitter: @CalStateOmaha▶️ Follow David Lamm on Instagram: @the_Dave_Lamm

This past weekend in college baseball a number of teams that had been cool for a while started to heat back up and demonstrated why betting on college baseball can be so volatile and frustrating for those betting on it. Wake Forest is a perfect example that after starting the season as the odds on favorite to win the College World Series, they end the month of March by getting swept at home no less, by North Carolina. Before that they lost two of three to both Duke and Louisville in MarchThe calendar turns to April and the Demon Deacons have swept Virginia Tech, took two out of three at Boston College and this past weekend, took two of three from Florida State who is in the National Host conversation. Sweeps are nice but two out of three gets you to Omaha and Wake looks to have righted the ship for a stretch run. We bring this up because this spotlights the uniqueness of college baseball and as a sports bettor it’s key to understand that betting on college baseball is very different than betting on the MLB.Highlights include:🎙️ Recap of weekend Podcast Picks (4:12)🎙️ 4 Leans for Tuesday 4/23/2024 (8:48)🎙️ 3 road underdogs for Tuesday 4/23/2024 (16:56)🎙️ Auto-bet Hagan Smith Unders?

We're on the back stretch of April with all eyes on Memorial Day weekend, which of course, is when the NCAA selection committee announces the field of 64 for the Road to Omaha. This is right around the time to look at those teams that may have cooled a bit lately to make a run and really test that 11 point 7 theory of beware of the hot-cold-hot teamsBut this is a podcast dedicated to betting college baseball and we're hear to find value in betting on Money lines, run lines and totals. Let's bring in our co-host, Nick Hathcoat who very well may have a bone to pick with me regarding some shoddy betting advice on Wednesday. Highlights include:🎙️ Recap of 2-2 Tuesday Podcast Picks (3:46)🎙️ 6 Leans for Friday 4/19/2024 (5:36)🎙️ 3 Picks for Friday 4/19/2024 (22:48 )🎙️ Trust LSU at Mizzou?

We're into the portion of the season where major conferences like the ACC and the SEC start conference series on Thursday, pushing those traditional Friday starters to start a day earlier.Two big series that started Thursday included the Florida State / Miami series and Missouri traveling to Athens to take on Georgia. The good news for those following AND tailing our co-host Nick Hathcoat on the Action Network app, you cashed on the Florida State / Georgia Parlay.

Today's episode is a bit different in that we are recording on Wednesday, normally we record and publish shows on Tuesdays and Fridays, but we're doing today's show on a Wednesday. We put out on X that rationale behind not having a Tuesday show mainly because the books put out the lines so late and more importantly, we didn't have any plays on any of the Tuesday slate of games. Something we always preach on this podcast is proper bankroll management and you shouldn't have action just for the sake of having action.Also, today's show will be our only episode this week. No Friday pod and we will get into the whys on that one a bit later in the show.Highlights include:🎙️ Check in on profitability rate thus far (3:16)🎙️ One official play for Wednesday (7:04)🎙️ Recap of plays from weekend  (9:03)🎙️ Potential Wednesday play is juice moves(19:46)🎙️ Value on Samford/Alabama game?

It's Friday, March 29th and today's show is a bit different in that even though we are recording Friday morning, you're going to hear about pitchers and match ups that normally occur on Saturdays. That's because due to the Easter holiday on Sunday, the lion's share of series actually started yesterday on Thursday. Out on the West Coast, many series have been modified to account for another rain storm expected to roll in later tonight and continue to rain throughout the weekend so be aware of series that may be moved to become double headers to avoid the raindrops.In addition to that, we'll take a look at the week that was in betting college baseball, take a closer look at how the picks from the podcast did on Tuesday and preview the slate of college baseball games and which match ups show some value in the betting market today. Highlights include:🎙️  Recap of Thursday's bets (3:46)🎙️  Recap of Tuesday's bets (7:00)🎙️  Money Line under dog pick (16:30) 🎙️ Two parlays for Friday 3/29 (17:28) 🎙️ Potential Play of Mississippi State Saturday (22:07) 🎙️ Nick's Sweet 16 Hoops leans (23:53) 🎙️ Dave's March Madness pick on Houston/Duke game (25:22) ▶️ Visit our website: BettingCollegeBaseball.com▶️ Follow us on Twitter: @BetCollegeBSB▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Twitter: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Instagram: @nhathcoat▶️ Follow David Lamm on Instagram: @the_Dave_Lamm

This past weekend the Florida State Seminoles, the only remaining unbeaten team in college baseball in 2024, got swept at the hands of the Clemson Tigers. We'll take a look back at the weekend games and how we did in the sports books and also look to tonight's slate of game to see if we can target some value match ups and point you in the right direction.No plays as of the recording but a few leans towards the underdogs to open a Tuesday slate of mid-week non-conference action.Highlights include:🎙️ Weird weekend in college baseball recap (2:25)🎙️ Dogs are potentially barking (5:29)🎙️ Run lines and totals to target once released (14:26)🎙️ Live look-in at March Madness bracket dumpster fires (19:44) ▶️ Visit our website: BettingCollegeBaseball.com▶️ Follow us on Twitter: @BetCollegeBSB▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Twitter: @nhathcoat413▶️ Follow Nick Hathcoat on Instagram: @nhathcoat▶️ Follow David Lamm on Instagram: @the_Dave_Lamm

We'll also take a closer look at some of the games going on today and possibly a few more on Saturday and through the weekend despite lines and totals not posted for those games just yet. This is Episode 17 of the Betting College Baseball podcast and we are growing but can grow even faster with your help.

Today's episode, Dave and Nick take a look back at the weekend slate of bets that had luke warm results but ultimately ended up being a losing weekend for the first time in the short history of this podcast. Now that college baseball has opened up conference play across the country, the mid-week match-up slate is not as appetizing as it has been to open the season. Because sports books have been so late to offer run lines and totals, not a lof of official action to announce on this episode of the podcast.
