Texas vs Stanford Prediction & Pick
Stanford's offense has been notably consistent throughout this series as it has outhit Texas' offense 24-14. A few costly errors by the Cardinal in Game 1 is why Game 3 is even taking place on Monday night. They did what they had to do to reclaim momentum and now have a huge pitching advantage.
Quinn Matthews struck out 16 batters in a full-game effort on Sunday, meaning Stanford will have its entire bullpen available. Look for relievers like Ryan Bruno (9 saves) and Brandt Pancer (1.43 ERA) to make an impact in the late innings. The support of the home crowd will also help the team thrive.
Back the Longhorns to come up just short, leading to Stanford's third consecutive trip to Omaha.
Final Score Prediction:'Texas: 5 | Stanford: 7
Texas vs Stanford Best Bet
I'm going to stick to backing Stanford as my best bet here. The Cardinal are 11-4 straight up in their last 15 home games and have posted an average scoring margin of +3.6 across their last five games at Klein Field. The Longhorns have been road warriors as of late, but they have lost seven of their last 10 games against the Cardinal. Winning on the road against an experienced team is too much to ask.
