Alex Bregman, Alex Cora Up the Ante on LSU-Miami Game With Wager

Astros infielder Alex Bregman and Red Sox manager Alex Cora used their collegiate backgrounds to make a friendly wager on the Miami-LSU game on Sunday, reports ESPN's Buster Olney.

Cora, a former Astros coach, took the managerial job with Boston this year.

Bregman attended LSU while Cora went to Miami.

According to Olney, if Miami beats LSU, Bregman has to wear "The U" turnover chain at batting practice at Boston's Fenway Park next weekend. If LSU wins, Cora will wear a Warren Morris jersey, as Morris was an LSU legend.

The Astros face the Red Sox in a three-game series, starting Friday in Boston.
