Florida vs TCU Prediction & Pick

The pitching matchup is pretty even here as both starters enter with an identical 3.73 ERA. The difference will thus be made at the plate, which is where the Gators have a huge advantage on Wednesday.

Florida has outscored its opponents 41-16 and has out-homered its foes 14-2 over what has been an impressive seven-game winning streak. The Gators showcased their versatility by drawing six walks against Virginia, too, which is dangerous as TCU gave up eight free passes to Oral Roberts on Tuesday.

TCU is going to put up a valiant fight, but I expect Florida's powerful hitters to stay hot in Omaha.

Final Score Prediction: Florida: 6 | TCU: 4

Florida vs TCU Best Bet

Betting options are limited here, so backing Florida along the spread is the best bet. After all, 11 of the Gators' last 15 victories and 10 of TCU's last 16 losses have come by a multi-run margin. TCU has scored at least 6 runs in 30 of its 44 wins on the season, which is worth noting because it would be surprising to see the Horned Frogs reach that mark against a Florida pitching staff that is fully rested.

Bet: Florida Gators -1.5 (-140)
