LSU-Alabama Series Prediction

LSU has won the last four series and is 17-3-1 over the last 21 series since 2000 with a 47-21 lead in regular-season games. The Tigers have won the last four series in Tuscaloosa, including sweeps in 2015 and 2017, while compiling a 10-4 series record at The Joe. Alabama’s last series win came in Baton Rouge in 2016 and last won a home series in 2011. Between 1992-99, Alabama won five of the eight series.

LSU has won five of its last six SEC games and three of its last four series. The Tigers own a pair of league road series wins at Florida and Mississippi State. They are 8-4 in SEC play since starting 4-5 and sit at a dozen conference wins after seven weeks for the seventh time in the last 10 seasons.

Alabama limps into the series having dropped seven of its last eight SEC games after winning six straight. The Crimson Tide spent three of the last four weekends on the road, posting a 4-5 mark. They are 1-2 in home SEC series with a victory over Texas A&M. Alabama looks to snap a three-conference series losing streak. (Source: SEC)

A couple of weeks ago, it was looking like Alabama would be a contender for the SEC West. After being swept by South Carolina last weekend, things are looking pretty bleak for the Tide. The Crimson Tide has a chance for some redemption this weekend when they host LSU. The Tigers look like the favorite both in hitting and pitching. I think LSU will prevail but probably not get a sweep.

LSU 2 wins, Alabama 1 win
