Georgia-Alabama Series Prediction

Georgia has won the last three series over Alabama after the Crimson Tide won eight straight between 2005-15. Alabama has won nine of the last 11 series in Tuscaloosa since 1993. The Bulldogs swept the last series in 2019 in Athens. The Crimson Tide last swept the Bulldogs in 2013 in Athens. These teams are meeting for the seventh time in the last 12 seasons after meeting annually between 2002-11.

For the third time in the last four seasons, Georgia sits at 9-6 or better in SEC play. In 2018 it finished 18-12 and in 2019 it ended 21-9. The Bulldogs have split their two conference road series this season (W at SC, L at UK) and are 11-11 in road series over the last five seasons. They are 6-3 in their last nine league games after starting 3-3.

Alabama sits at 8-7 in the SEC standings for the first time since 2016, the last time it was above .500 at the midpoint of the conference schedule. The Crimson Tide have won two of their last three series and are looking for their 10th home SEC series win over the last seven seasons. (Source: SEC)

Alabama has the superior pitching in this series. Georgia has the worst ERA in the conference. The Bulldogs are a good hitting team but only a little better than Bama. I think when you add in that the Crimson Tide is playing at home and seems to have some momentum going after a shocking win over Tennessee, you have to go with the Tide in this one.

Alabama 2 wins, Georgia 1 win
