HAWGBEAT'S PICKS
Each story, HawgBeat will list a few picks that look favorable based on trends and statistics throughout the season.
Kendall Diggs over 0.5 runs, over 0.5 hits, over 0.5 RBIs (+450)
Diggs' batting average of .343 is the third best of any Diamond Hog this season. His 30 runs scored ranks fourth on the team and his 37 RBIs are the second most behind Jared Wegner.
The sophomore designated hitter leads the Razorbacks with 14 RBIs in SEC play and his .451 on-base percentage is the second best of any Arkansas player.
I list all of that to say, if you want to bet on a player that has a good shot at getting one hit, scoring one run and driving in one run, Diggs is a solid option at +450.
Caleb Cali to get over 0.5 home runs, over 0.5 RBIs and over 0.5 runs (+1100)
Let's clear this up: you're betting on Caleb Cali to hit a home run here. He's done so three times in SEC play, which is the second most of any Arkansas player (behind Jared Wegner, 4).
Cali has homered in each of the past two SEC series, including twice last weekend against Ole Miss. This is as good of a bet as any of the Double R props offered, in my opinion.
Parlay Arkansas ML and LSU ML (+140)
Taking the Arkansas moneyline on it's own wouldn't be a great number, but if you parlay it with LSU moneyline, you can get plus-odds.
Arkansas has dropped just one series opener all year (March 31 against Alabama), while the Tigers haven't lost a Game 2 of any series this year.
LSU run-ruled Kentucky, 16-6, on Thursday night, and I expect the No. 1 Tigers to roll again on Friday in Baton Rouge.
Tennessee is starting a pitcher in Andrew Lindsey who has never started a game as a Volunteer. The home field advantage, paired with Hunter Hollan on the mound, should power Arkansas to a win.
