Florida-Vanderbilt Series Prediction

Things are looking up for Florida after a 2-1 series win over Arkansas last weekend. Vandy desperately needs a series win over Florida to get back on track to its usual glide path to the NCAA tournament. In this one, at least on paper, Vandy has the edge in pitching while Florida has the edge in batting. This should be a close one but I think the edge goes to the home team.

Vanderbilt 2 wins, Florida 1 win
