My Mississippi State vs Southern Mississippi best bet: Mississippi State moneyline (-135 at DraftKings)

Mississippi State has impressed during its 11-1 start, with the lone blemish coming against the nation’s top-ranked team in a game the Bulldogs came inches away from winning — more than once. 

They’ve been getting it done on the mound (2.61 ERA, 11th nationally) and at the plate (.587 SLG, seventh), and are on a short list of potential title-worthy teams.

The Bulldogs have the better lineup, so I’m backing them as a short favorite in a game where pitching will be a staff outing for both bullpens.
