Auburn-Mississippi State Series Prediction

Auburn’s looking very solid so far this season. Do they have what it takes to make it back to Omaha? That remains to be seen. Riding Sonny DiChiara’s bat, the Tigers have a chance to get a series win over the 2021 National Champions this weekend and the national runner-ups, in back-to-back weekends. Mississippi State is surprisingly down this season. They could go from being the best team in the country to being the worst team in the SEC in 2022. I don’t think the Bulldogs will fall that far though.

Auburn 2 wins, Mississippi State 1 win
