Starting Pitchers

Benjamin Stubbs (Troy): The senior lefty has been the Trojans' ace this season, pitching to the tune of a 4.93 ERA over the course of 91.1 innings. He did run into a rough patch from mid-May to early April, where he allowed 23 runs over the span of four starts. Stubbs has been sharp of late, though, combining to allow just five runs over 11.1 innings in his two starts in the NCAA Tournament against Miami (FL) and Little Rock.

Chansen Cole (West Virginia): The sinker/changeup mix has played extremely well for Cole throughout the NCAA Tournament, and you could make the argument that he's the Mountaineers' hottest pitcher at the moment. The Mountaineers have won each of his last six starts and are an incredible 17-2 when he toes the rubber. "Mr. Boring" is the perfect person to have on the mound in game one of the College World Series because nothing will faze him.

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook

West Virginia opened at -210, but has since jumped up to -280 with money coming in on the Mountaineers. Troy is +210 as of early Friday morning. WVU is -1.5 (-154) on the run line, and the over/under is sitting at 11.
