Florida-Georgia Prediction

Georgia is coming off a really rough series at Mississippi State. Florida is the better batting team but if the Bulldogs have ace pitcher Emerson Hancock back on the mound it could set the tempo for a strong Bulldog series performance meaning sweep. Georgia 2 wins, Florida 1 win.
