Texas baseball vs. TCU pick
Texas has a huge chance to really build some momentum for the rest of the Big 12 slate if they can take this weekend series over a quality opponent in TCU. Pierce and the Longhorns are catching a Horned Frogs team that is pretty inconsistent of late.
And right as TCU’s pitching is starting to struggle this season, Texas’ bats are really hot. Texas has scored in the double digits in terms of runs in four of their last seven games. And they’ve scored at least seven runs in six of the last seven.
Moreover, Texas has the prime part of their pitching staff ready to go for this key weekend series against the Horned Frogs. First up on the mound for the Longhorns is the stud redshirt sophomore left-hander Pete Hansen.
In his last start, Hansen was rock-solid on the mound for the Longhorns giving them eight innings of work with just one earned run. His last start resulted in a key win over the Sooners back on April 1.
Hansen now comes into this series opener against the Horned Frogs sporting a record of 5-0 with a 2.51 earned run average.
Following Hansen in the last two games of this series against TCU are Tristan Stevens and Lucas Gordon.
