UC Santa Barbara vs Cal State Bakersfield Betting Prediction

The game is very much in the favor of the Gauchos, who are 6-1 in their last 7 games overall and have won four games on the road. Having managed to score more points per game, they are in a comfortable position.

Meanwhile, the Roadrunners have been awful in their last 10 games and have failed to do well even at home. They have a poor record against teams with more than 0.600 winning percentage, a stat which puts them in a difficult situation in this game.

We can expect Gauchos to find enough space to score points at will for the win.
