Coastal Carolina vs Oregon State Prediction

Following a loss to the College of Charleston on April 22nd, Chanticleers manager Kevin Schnall made a bold statement that his team would not lose again for the rest of the season. It was quite a proclamation, but it was mostly ignored. Perhaps, the college baseball world should have taken him more seriously.

Since then, Coastal Carolina has won 24 straight games. They breezed through their conference tourney, then swept the Regional and Super Regional rounds. They faced red-hot Arizona on day one of the CWS, and promptly dispatched them 7-4. The Chanticleers pitching is beyond elite at this point, and they’ll send undefeated Jacob Morrison to the hill tonight.

Morrison surrendered only a single run over 6 innings in a Super Regionals win over Auburn, striking out 6. It marked the seventh time in eight starts he’s yielded 1 run or less, and the victory improved his record to 11-0. The Chanticleers staff boasts the second lowest ERA in the nation, while Morrison and their other top-two starters have combined to allow only 0.38 home runs per start.

Oregon State does boast a powerful lineup, led by future MLBers Aiva Arquette and Gavin Turley, but they’re extremely strikeout prone and can struggle versus above-average arms. They managed only four runs and one extra-base hit in the CWS opener, striking out ten times against Louisville starter Patrick Forbes, and twice more versus Cardinals relievers.

CCU vs ORST Offensive Stats

Coastal Carolina’s lineup meanwhile, is not typical of a College World Series odds contender. They don’t hit for power, but they do get on base and manufacture runs. The team averages 15 base runners per contest, and has a 79% stolen base success rate. Dating back to their last regular-season series, they’re averaging eight runs per contest, and have seen a significant boost in their clutch-hitting metrics.

They also face a tough matchup tonight versus Beavers starter Ethan Kleinschmit. The sophomore has allowed two runs or fewer in three straight starts, and was phenomenal in the Super Regionals against Florida State. He held the mighty Seminoles to only two hits and two runs over 6.0 innings, striking out 11.

With both starters entering in solid form, this game will likely be decided by the bullpens. That’s where the Chanticleers have a major advantage, and the combination of Morrison and the CCU relievers are why I’m picking Coastal Carolina to continue its incredible winning streak.

Coastal Carolina vs Oregon State Picks & Best Bets

• Coastal Carolina moneyline (-135) at bet365

The Chanticleers bullpen ranks fifth nationally in ERA, and 18th in WHIP. They pitched five innings in their CWS opener, yielding only three hits to the Wildcats.

The Beavers’ lineup has shown it can be neutralized by quality arms, and Coastal Carolina literally possess an entire stable of them. Morrison is a nightmare to go up against, and there’s no relief once the bullpen gets involved. I expect the CCU lineup to scratch and claw their way to enough runs to outlast Oregon State in a low-scoring affair.
