Top College World Series picks today
One of Bell's CWS picks for Sunday: He's taking the Over 11.5 in the TCU vs. Virginia matchup at 2 p.m. ET.
Both of these teams scored five runs in heartbreaking 6-5 losses during the first game of their respective College World Series. Now they'll look to rebound in an elimination game and the offense will likely be a big factor after both teams ranked top 15 in the nation in runs scored.
The Cavaliers scored 30 runs in their super regional win over Duke and has reached double-digits in runs on 25 occasions this year. Meanwhile, TCU has scored at least 10 runs on 20 occasions and has scored a total of 59 runs in six postseason games.
"Sunday brings us our first elimination game in the 2023 College World Series and this should be an excellent matchup," Bell told SportsLine. "Coming out of the loser's bracket is difficult because you are one loss away from going home, yet you still have to protect your pitchers because there are only so many arms and the grind back has just begun. That equals runs." See who else to back here.
