 I'm assuming the line jumped when A&M announced their starter today. For anyone wanting to take Tennessee at plus odds you can go to specials on FanDuel and take 'Tennessee to win and hit 2+ HR' for +164. Or if you're really feeling it you can do same bet with 3+ HR for +490 or 4+ for +1260.

For reference, TN has hit exactly 2 HR in each game in Omaha except for the 2nd time they played FSU when they had only 1. I'm already on the TN & 2+ HR but I'm really considering the 3+ and 4+ too. If a few bats get hot today those could definitely hit. Especially if Tennessee gets a big lead and A&M saves all their good relievers for tomorrow.

@bringit

Very good advice. BOL!

Boys it’s over, said to myself should I trust this choking Vols team that blew the regional last year at home to a horrible seed as the #1 team? Then I see 3 clowns not call for a fly ball and barely avoid 2 injuries. This after forcing swings against a reliever who barely pitched all month? Then a bomb over the fence 

A+M live plus 135 before it gets ugly 

And as we get closer to elimination who’s going to play tighter? 

I regret taking the Vols yesterday and today 

got here late today and hope to see a good game... good luck

It’s like watching a plane going down, I tell ya.. 0-9 left on base, 0-6 RISP.. prey Tenn pitching holds up

I have Tennessee,  if Aggies score here that's definitely a wrap.  Can't believe Tennessee offense is being shut out

tenn has life 

Will gladly take that insurance run

Tennessee covers the RL = winner. 

9-5 +17.97 units

Kenny Powers tried hard to fuck this up. Jace is still a menace. A&M impressive pitching with their B team. Beam played amazing (minus one pitch). Cal Stark fuck I hate that guy to can I suck your cock lol. Great game. Can’t wait for game 3.  Will post my thoughts on it tomorrow.

Please you can’t afford to gamble take the negativity elsewhere. I stopped being negative early on.  

@jesron1269

 Incredible. Literally the last thing I ever expected was for 'Hitless-in-Omaha' Cal Stark to jack one to cover the RL and my 2 HR + ML bet. Dude loses the bat the swing before that then comes right back and hammers one.

Zander Sechrist takes the mound for the Vols tomorrow. 

His last 5 starts: 

- Vols beat South Carolina to clinch SEC regular season title

- Vols beat Vandy to earn spot in SEC tournament title game 

- Vols beat Southern Miss to win regional

- Vols beat Evansville to win super regional and head to CWS

- Vols beat FSU to earn spot in CWS finals

Stats in those 5 starts:

4-0, 1.23 ERA, 29.1 IP, 21 K, 5 BB

@bringit

Good info. I need to confirm starting pitchers and bullpen availability. Line already Tennessee -220. Christ.  

something to consider if you like tenn .... you can get -1 by using ml and -1- line ... no clue for me now just putting it out there in case someone wants to do that ... good luck... i have not taken great advantage of the thread but very thankful you guys made one...      good luck

Who are you leaning towards so far? Seems like everybody is on VOLS. Moneyline continues to climb..

@jesron1269

 Just curious, have you had a chance to look at the A&M pitching situation or the weather conditions? I've been at work and haven't had time yet. I just checked FanDuel for the TN ML + HRs odds and unfortunately they don't have the 2+ HR one available this time. Only 3+ @ +490 or 4+ @ +1120. Or they have 2+ HR by itself for -170.

I also found it interesting that the prop for Tennessee to hit 3+ HR is +210 while the ML is -260.

If you parlayed any two random picks at those odds you'd be looking at +329.

But a highly correlated bet, TN to win & hit 3+ HR, is at +490. It's almost like they don't want to get smoked again on the 2 HR version of that bet so they took it down but they're trying to bait you into the 3 HR version. Or maybe the prop markets haven't updated with the moneyline movement? Still wouldn't explain that gap though.

Went with the following bets:

Tennessee ML -220 risking 8.8 units to win 4. Want to play the RL but hate taking a home RL. Can’t do it.  

A&M/Tennessee BTTS by end of 3rd inning +100.  Risking 2.5 units to win 2.5 units. 

Both teams score +2 runs -365 with some soccer plays. Won’t count it on record as a non-related parlay.

I see game 6-3 to 6-5. 

Good luck

I'm going to take the Aggies.  That line is ridiculous for a game 3 in the CWS.

Tex +3.5 +100 live 1st inning.   Umm, why not? ...maybe...
