Florida vs LSU Prediction & Pick

LSU's resiliency under the guidance of head coach Jay Johnson cannot go overlooked any longer. The Tigers have emerged victorious in back-to-back extra-inning games and have looked completely poised while doing it. The kids on this roster are doing absolutely whatever it takes to win.

It's worth noting that LSU's fan base has traveled to Omaha insanely well and is giving the Tigers a home-field feel. That has proved crucial for the past two champions (Ole Miss & Mississippi State). The only thing standing in LSU's way of another title is the fact that the team lacks a true third starter.

That could be an issue for the Tigers considering the Gators have their co-ace in Hurston Waldrep ready to go. Waldrep is 10-3 on the year with a 3.99 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP in 99 1/3 innings. With that being said, all LSU has to do is keep this one close, as their late-inning heroics are unmatched.

Final Score Prediction: Florida: 4 | LSU: 5

Florida vs LSU Best Bet

This best bet is going to sound like a broken record at this point, but backing the Under remains the way to go. After all, fewer than 10 runs have been scored in each of LSU's six games in Omaha as well as in seven of Florida's last eight games overall. These teams also combined for seven runs on Saturday despite the fact that three home runs were hit. Another low-scoring showdown seems likely.

Bet: Under 9.5 Runs (-132)
