Alabama-South Carolina Series Prediction
Alabama (9-9) at South Carolina (6-12)
Alabama holds down a 9-9 mark in the SEC standings for the first time since 2016. The Crimson Tide are 7-4 in their last 11 conference games after starting 2-5. They venture out on the road for the fourth time this season looking to lock down their second league road series win for the first time since 2016. Alabama has four SEC road series victories in the last five seasons.
South Carolina is happy to return home where it has recorded five of its six SEC victories and boasts two home series victories over Vanderbilt and Ole Miss. This is only the third time in the last 26 seasons the Gamecocks have been below .500 after six weeks of conference action. They are seeking to win their third home conference series for the first time since 2018. (Source: SEC)
This is a battle of two teams that are both more competitive this season. Bama has a game win at Tennessee. South Carolina took a home series against Vandy. The Crimson Tide has a pretty significant edge, at least statistically, in both hitting and pitching so I’m going with the Tide. Don’t discount the Gamecocks in Columbia though.
Alabama 2 wins, South Carolina 1 win
