SMU at North Texas +10.5 North Texas took care of UTEP last week in a game the oddsmakers believed would be a close one - it wasn't. What was impressive to me was the adjustments the North Texas defense made in the second half to completely stymie UTEP's offense. Sure, SMU is a different animal and will pose a greater challenge than UTEP did, … [Read more...]

Velasquez will get his strike outs today - however the … [Read more...]

However, the 7.88 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in 8 innings this spring could indicate that Anderson hasn't come all the way back yet. Also, Anderson is sub .500 in day games for his … [Read more...]
