Georgia-LSU Series Prediction

Georgia (11-7) at LSU (10-8)
LSU had won four consecutive series until Georgia snapped the streak in 2019 in Athens. Overall, the Tigers own a 16-5 series advantage since the teams play annually between 1994-2015. LSU won 10 of the 12 series in that span with seven sweeps. The Tigers have won the last four series in Baton Rouge. Georgia’s last series victory in Alex Box Stadium came in 2008. The teams played their first game as conference rivals in the 1975 SEC Playoffs, where LSU won both games 6-5 & 8-3. They didn’t have their first regular season series until 1986 in Baton Rouge where the Tigers won two out of three.

Georgia has won three of its last four SEC series and its last two conference road series over South Carolina and Alabama. The Bulldogs haven’t won three consecutive SEC road series since 2008 and have won three conference road series three times in the last 13 seasons. This is the third time in the last four seasons Georgia has recorded 10+ league victories after six weeks. It marks the first time it has done that since 2008-11. The Bulldogs are 8-4 since starting 3-3 in conference play.

LSU has had an odd last three weeks by sweeping two opponents (Mississippi State and Missouri) and being swept themselves (Arkansas). The Tigers are in position to win back to-back SEC home series for the first time since 2019 when it opened three consecutive conference home series victories. LSU is 2-4 in its last six SEC home series. Between 2012-19, it went 32-7-1 in home conference series. The Tigers are 6-3 since starting 4-5 in league action. (Source: SEC)

This is a battle of two upper SEC echelon teams who want to enhance their postseason tourney seedings. Predicting his one in troubling though. LSU has the edge in both hitting and pitching and they’ve been very strong at home this season, as usual. Georgia, though, has one of the better records in the SEC. I think LSU will pull this series out but it won’t be easy.

LSU 2 wins, Georgia 1 win
