Fayetteville Regional Prediction
A botched play on a fly ball cost Arkansas the 2018 National Championship. The Hogs will never be able to get that one back but you can bet they’ll be in the hunt again for a title this season. First they have to win their regional, which at first glance should not be hard. Statistically, the top 3 teams in this regional are about even. However, Arkansas is down right hard to beat in Fayetteville (28-6 at home). The Hog calls and big crowd can get to the visitors. Look for Arkansas to win this one and advance to a Super Regional against Ole Miss, a team that did win a series this season against the Hogs in Fayetteville.
