2023 NCAA Men's College World Series. On to Omaha.

I havent watched every game but I would think LSU would have to be limited in pitching. This will be their 7th game in 8 days. College baseball is usually 4 games a week

Somewhat limited but more the concern would be the velocity will be down. Skenes velocity was down a few mph his last start on less rest. If he pitches at any time tonite it may not affect him if its just 1 or 2 innings. Now, if he were to start and go 100+ I would guess he is around 96/97 or less on average fastball. So, really any pitcher might not have the velocity they would have on normal rest is my assumption. The other factor is is who is pitching for Florida? Florida hasn't had lights out starting pitching so far against LSU which is why LSU keeps getting the lead early and having lots of baserunners every inning it seems until the game got out of hand yesturday.

LSU ace has three full days of rest, FWIW

I think he goes 5 or 6 tonight to close the game. At least 4

It's either an adjustment to him pitching.
Or it's sharp Money.
And a lot on LSU
Good luck

Well, I'm surprised LSU is the favorite here considering Flor was in the first 2 games. But, even though they got blown out, they did have tons of hits and walks yesturday and committed 5 errors in that game. Maybe they will use an opener (Hurd?) for a few innings then go to Skenes? I can't see why else they would be favored at that amount unless Skenes is pitching in this game even about a half-start of innings?

Skenes is the ONLY reason LSU should be favored

Otherwise it should be nearly a pick
