Kentucky vs. Texas A&M predictions
Texas A&M's pitching was able to strike out a CWS program record of 16 hitters in the first game of the tournament but there was a lot of tempers flaring. Coach Jim Schlossnagle apologized after Aggies fans were harassing the Florida Gators' dugout.
The Aggies are going to be in a weird position as they are the better team but are banged up as Shane Sdao is out for the season with an ankle injury.
This Kentucky Wildcats look like they are in a good position to win this game. In his last start, Mason Moore's main issue was the fact he struggled with control, issuing a season-high six walks. However, it's expected that he will address this issue fin the upcoming game.
All in all, go with the Texas A&M Aggies to pick up a victory and be one win away from the College World Series Finals.
