Pitching matchups are often hard to find for midweek matchups, and the market tends to move on numbers for the pitching staff as a whole.
However, the initial market movement for this matchup between the North Carolina Tar Heels and South Carolina Gamecocks has created value on the Tar Heels, who opened as a sizable favorite.
I’m buying the Tar Heels back at their current price, as they have a decided edge on the mound in this matchup.
North Carolina will send Cameron Padgett to the mound, and he comes into this start with a 4.76 ERA and 1.35 WHIP through 17 innings.
His numbers are tremendous compared to Brendan Sweeney, who’s getting the ball for South Carolina. Sweeney has had a rough going in nine appearances this year, sporting a 9.00 ERA, 2.13 WHIP and a 7.9 walks-per-nine rate
While Sweeney may only go one inning, his success in his outing is a big question mark. When it comes to relievers, the Tar Heels’ staff is a step above the Gamecocks’.
Look for the Tar Heels to get the bats going early and protect their lead throughout this one as they emerge with a road victory.
Pick: UNC ML -160
