After an exciting Tuesday slate, bettors have a much narrower college baseball card for Wednesday. The Lamar Cardinals just scored a massive road upset over the No. 5 Texas A&M Aggies and will return home to face the unranked Kansas State Wildcats tonight. The action will start at 7 p.m. ET, and bettors looking to get in on it should fade Lamar in a letdown spot. Kansas State is the best college baseball bet today.

Kansas State (-155) vs. Lamar
Both of these teams are out to 4-0 starts. Kansas State swept Stephen F. Austin over a four-game series in which they racked up 41 hits and 44 runs. Although that incredible offensive production will regress to the mean over time, Kansas State baseball is on an upward trajectory with head coach Pete Hughes at the helm.
Scoring will come at a premium with weekday pitching on the mound. This is especially true after Lamar used six pitchers to beat Texas A&M yesterday. Kansas State has a better overall offense — six of their players with at least 10 at-bats have an OPS above 1.000, including outfielder Cole Johnson, who leads the team in home runs (3) and RBI (11). Lamar has just one player, outfielder Kevin Bermudez, who meets that threshold.
Although the Lamar Cardinals are similarly undefeated, three of their four wins came against Oakland — and by exactly one run. Their offense has totaled 28 hits and 20 runs. Seven of those runs are credited to catcher Ryan Snell and his three home runs. However, Snell hit only three home runs in 166 at-bats last season. Nothing suggests his hot start is sustainable.
The Lamar Cardinals find themselves in a letdown spot against Kansas State. The big win last night, while momentous for the program, might be a short-term distraction. With Lamar’s offense leaving the pitching staff so little margin for error, Kansas State could capitalize and earn a multi-run win.
