Women’s College World Series pitching matchups
For Texas Tech, Canady is expected to be in the circle for every competitive pitch this weekend against the Longhorns. She’s the only Texas Tech pitcher to have thrown so far in Oklahoma City and she’s been lights out. In 21 innings since arriving in OKC, Canady has allowed just 11 hits and 3 earned runs.
Texas has a few more options at its disposal, but Teagan Kavan is likely to be in the circle to start Game 1. Kavan pitched Texas’s most important game of the year last week when she threw 7 innings in a win over Oklahoma. Kavan also pitched 3 innings in UT’s semifinal win over Tennessee a couple days later and likely would have started the winner-take-all semifinal contest had the Vols forced another game. Kavan struggled down the stretch of the regular season, but is seemingly back on track. She’s allowed just 5 earned runs over her last 26.1 innings.
Betting on the Women’s College World Series
Entering the NCAA Tournament, Texas Tech was a long-shot to make it this far. The Red Raiders were listed at +2200 to win the title at the start of the postseason, but Canady has been dominant enough to get the Red Raiders into this position.
Now facing one of the nation’s best teams in Texas, the betting markets have caught up to just how dangerous Texas Tech is. So much so that Texas Tech and Texas are equal on the money line for Game 1 over at bet365, with each side being priced at -120. The total for Game 1 has been set at 6.5 (-120 both ways).
