Vanderbilt-Georgia Series Prediction

The Georgia Bulldogs have won the last two series after Vanderbilt won 10 consecutive series between 2009-2018, including three consecutive sweeps (2014-16). Ten of the last 29 series have resulted in sweeps: six by Georgia and four by Vanderbilt. The Bulldogs haven’t won three straight series over the Commodores since sweeping the series between 2001-03.

Vandy is 6-5 in its last 11 SEC games after starting 4-6. The Commodores snapped a four-conference series losing streak with a series win at Kentucky two weeks ago. This is the first time in the last nine seasons Vanderbilt has been below .500 in SEC play after seven weeks (9-12 in 2012).

Georgia returns home after playing three of their last four SEC series on the road, including the last two. UGA is 5-6 since starting 7-3 in league action. They have two home series wins, including a sweep over Florida. This is the third time in the last four seasons Georgia has had a dozen SEC wins after seven weeks. (Source: SEC)

Vanderbilt has a slight edge in batting and a big edge in pitching. However, the young Commodores have been in a funk and are often unable to come up with timely hitting to produce runs. I think Georgia wins this series but Vandy will probably at least pull off one win.

Georgia 2 wins, Vanderbilt 1 win
