Vanderbilt-Kentucky Series Prediction
Vanderbilt has won 10 of the last 11 series, including the last three, to improve its overall series lead to 20-9 since 1992. The Commodores recorded back-to-back sweeps in 2018-19 during the current three-series win streak. Kentucky’s last series win came in 2017 in Lexington, while its last sweep came in 2000 in Nashville. Vanderbilt is 10-4 in its last 14 series in Lexington.
Vanderbilt is 7-8 in the SEC standings for the first time since 2017. The Commodores are looking to break a four-conference road series losing streak dating back to last year. After starting 4-6, Vanderbilt is 3-2 over its last five conference games.
Kentucky seeks to snap a three series losing streak. The Wildcats defeated Georgia in week two for their lone series win this season. They are 5-6 since starting 0-4 in league action. After going 12-3 in SEC home series between 2016-18, UK is 3-10 the last three seasons. (Source: SEC)
Vanderbilt hobbled some after their opening SEC series against Missouri, but they look like the are starting to get things going after a near sweep of Florida. But Kentucky is dangerous and might still this series if the Commodores show up too overconfident.
Vanderbilt 2 wins, Kentucky 1 win
