The No. 1 UCLA Bruins (8-2) face the No. 4 Mississippi State Bulldogs (11-0) in a powerhouse college baseball matchup at Globe Life Field on Sunday.

Sunday’s finale of the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series can be seen on FloSports at 3:30 pm ET.

I’m rolling with the Bruins with my Mississippi State vs. UCLA predictions and free betting picks for Sunday, March 1.

Mississippi State vs UCLA prediction

My Mississippi State vs UCLA best bet: UCLA moneyline (-130 at DraftKings)

UCLA has looked every part of the No. 1 team in the country, sweeping TCU and handling two SEC squads (Tennessee, Texas A&M) with ease at Globe Life Field, outscoring them 23-6. 

Another SEC foe awaits in undefeated Mississippi State, but the Bulldogs are trying out a new Sunday starter in true sophomore Duke Stone, who’s only appeared in eight career games. 

UCLA’s lineup is so fearsome that its No. 8 hitter, Will Gasparino, is tied for the national lead with nine home runs. The Bruins are the cream of the crop, and this price is friendly.
