Lamont Smith is making strides in his second year as coach of San Diego after a 9-21 season in 2015-16. The Toreros already have won seven games and are 8-3 ATS compared to Pepperdine, which is 5-10 straight up and 4-10 ATS. The Waves are just 5-16 ATS their last 21 games dating to last season and snapped a nine-game losing streak in their 71-70 win over Loyola Marymount on Thursday. Chris Reyes led the Waves with 21 points and Lamond Murray Jr. added 19 points for Pepperdine. San Diego has covered six of its last nine games as the oddsmakers continues to undervalue the Toreros, who did lose a close one to Pacific on Thursday. San Diego is 6-0-1 ATS its last seven road games and have covered five straight as underdogs. Pepperdine is 0-7 ATS following a win and 1-6 ATS as a favorite. Play San Diego.
