Texas baseball vs. Kansas State: Betting odds, TV/stream, pick
Coming up for head coach David Pierce and No. 7 ranked Texas baseball is a key three-game weekend series against a Big 12 foe on the road in the Kansas State Wildcats. Texas is playing better of late, and they have a chance to win their third consecutive weekend series in Big 12 play if they can top Kansas State at least twice in the next few days.
Pierce and the Longhorns are coming into the series opener against Kansas State on April 14 sporting a record of 25-10 (5-4 Big 12) following a one-game midweek series win over Stephen F. Austin on April 12 by the commanding final score of 13-2. Texas has won each of their last two games dating back to the series finale against the No. 23 TCU Horned Frogs last weekend.
Meanwhile, Kansas State comes into this game with a record of 15-16 (1-8 Big 12) after they were swept in a three-game series last weekend against the No. 4 Texas Tech Red Raiders. Kansas State has lost each of their last three games dating back to the series last weekend against the Red Raiders.
Here’s a look at the betting odds, TV/streaming information, and game prediction as Texas gets set to take on Kansas State on the road at Tointon Family Stadium in Manhattan in the series opener on April 14, with the first pitch time set for 6 p.m. CT.

Texas baseball vs. Kansas State pick
Once again, Pierce and the Longhorns have the top of the pitching staff ready to go for an important weekend series in Big 12 play. In the series opener against the Wildcats on April 14, Texas will have the stud redshirt sophomore left-hander Pete Hansen on the mound.
Hansen is performing like one of the very best pitchers in the Big 12, if not the entire country, so far this season. His last start resulted in a complete-game shutout against the Horned Frogs last weekend. Hansen is absolutely on fire on the mound of late. He’s given up just one earned run over the course of 17 innings in his last two starts dating back to a win two weekends ago over the Oklahoma Sooners.
Moreover, Texas will have Tristan Stevens and then Lucas Gordon on the mound to round out this three-game weekend series against Kansas State. Stevens will be looking for a bounce-back outing after a few rough starts in a row coming into his April 15 appearance.

This looks like a great opportunity for Texas to move their winning streak to three games and really start making a climb up the Big 12 standings. I’m not necessarily saying that Texas will come up with a weekend series sweep of the Wildcats, but they should at least take this series.
