Southeastern 14's Game Pick for NC State vs. Vanderbilt

Kumar Rocker has had only one mediocre start in the College World Series in his college career. That was in the Commodores' win against Arizona a week ago. Our guess is he'll bounce back with a strong performance against the Wolfpack, which should allow Vanderbilt to force a third game between these two on Saturday.

Pick: Vanderbilt

Southeastern 14's Best Bet for NC State vs. Vanderbilt

Pick: Under 9.5
