LSU-Vanderbilt Series Prediction

Vanderbilt has won the last two series, including a sweep last season, and eight of the last nine after LSU won 10 of 12 series between 1994-2005. LSU now holds a slim 11-10 series lead since 1994 with the regular-season games tied at 31-31. LSU’s last series win came in Baton Rouge in 2016, while its last series win in Nashville occurred in 2005. The Commodores own three series sweeps in the last eight series (2007, 2011, 2021). The Tigers’ last sweep came in Baton Rouge in 1997.

LSU needs one more victory to finish .500 or better in SEC play for the ninth time in the last 10 seasons. The Tigers, who have played three of their last four series at home, have won three of their last four series overall. LSU closes out SEC play on the road for the fourth time in the last five seasons. The Tigers are in a position to record at least four SEC road series victories in back-to-back seasons (4-1 in 2021, 3-1 in 2022) for the first time since 2004-05 (5-0 in 2004, 4-1 in 2005).

Vanderbilt, which has played three of its last four series on the road, has won its last two series and four of its last five. For only the second time in their last 20 games, the Commodores sit above .500 in the SEC standings. They need one victory to extend their streak of finishing .500 or better in SEC play to 12 seasons, the longest active streak in the conference. Vanderbilt finishes SEC play at home for the fifth time in the last six seasons. (Source: SEC)
