Prediction: South Carolina Upstate Spartans VS Kentucky Wildcats 2025-05-31
The Kentucky Wildcats are on the ropes, folks, and they need a win to stay alive in the Clemson Regional. They're facing off against the USC Upstate Spartans, who already got a taste of the regional action with a 7-3 loss to Clemson.
The Wildcats are favored in this one, with odds of 1.47 on DraftKings and 1.45 on BetMGM. The Spartans are looking like underdogs, with prices ranging from 2.63 to 2.65 across different bookmakers. The spread is set at -1.5 for the Wildcats, with prices around 1.69 to 1.77.
Given the Wildcats' desperation to stay alive and their relatively strong showing against West Virginia (despite the walk-off loss), I'm picking them to take down the Spartans. My best bet is Kentucky Wildcats -1.5, with a price of 1.69 on DraftKings. The Wildcats need this win, and I think they'll come out swinging to avoid elimination.
As for the total, I'm not too confident in either team's ability to put up a ton of runs, given the Spartans' relatively low-scoring outing against Clemson. But hey, it's baseball, and anything can happen. If you want to take a shot on the total, the over/under is set at 12.5, with prices around 1.87 on most bookmakers.
So, there you have it - Kentucky Wildcats -1.5 is my pick for this must-win game. Let's see if they can stay alive in the regional!
