ANALYSIS: Dylan Bundy starts for Minnesota against his original organization. The 29-year-old is off to a great start in 2022, walking a career-low 1.27 batters per nine innings. Bundy has been above-average in three of his four outings, with the last one being his worst. Look for him to bounce back against the team with which he spent his first five major-league seasons.

ANALYSIS: Atlanta LHP Max Fried has been lights out his last two outings, allowing just six hits and one run with 12 strikeouts and no walks over 13 innings. New York RHP Chris Bassitt has been lights out in three of his four starts this season. Bassitt has gone six innings in every outing and allowed just 15 hits and seven walks for a WHIP under 1.00 (0.92). Take the Under.

ANALYSIS: The Buckeyes will have a big home advantage, with Pittsburgh just three hours away from the Ohio State campus. Loyola Chicago hasn't played in 12 days and could be a little rusty. Plus, the Ramblers aren't coached by Porter Moser anymore; this will be Drew Valentine's first NCAA Tournament game as a head coach. Ohio State was upset last year by Oral Roberts in the first round. The Buckeyes did not end the year very well, but that doesn't matter now. I'm sure this will be a very focused Ohio State team. Buckeyes cover.

ANALYSIS: Jacksonville State is playing with house money. Atlantic Sun tournament champ Bellarmine was not eligible to play in the NCAA Tournament, shifting the automatic bid back to the regular season champ, Jacksonville State. Auburn was great at home (13-3 against-the-spread) but had a losing ATS record away from home.

ANALYSIS: Saint Peter's ranks No. 259 in offensive efficiency, but its defense ranks No. 34 and the team plays at a very methodical pace. Kentucky's offense is solid, but I expect Saint Peter's to give the Wildcats some resistance. In the end the Peacocks' lack of offense will keep this total low. Plus, with Kentucky winning big, we will not see the end-of-game fouling that often sends a game Over. Under is the play.
