LSU vs Kentucky Prediction & Pick

Kentucky's pitching staff simply cannot find a way to combat LSU's powerful offense. The Tigers have scored at least 7 runs in each of the four matchups between these teams and tallied a whopping 15 hits on Saturday. They are also averaging 10.0 runs per game since the start of the NCAA regionals.

I don't expect LSU's success at the plate to stop anytime soon, especially with Dylan Crews at the helm. Crews is widely expected to be the No. 1 overall selection in the 2023 MLB draft and is slashing .432/.573/.736 to go along with 17 home runs this season (61 games). He is a force for the Tigers.

I'll back the Tigers to come out on top and give the Baton Rouge crowd something to cheer about.

Final Score Prediction: LSU: 9 | Kentucky: 4

LSU vs Kentucky Best Bet

The betting options are limited on the college baseball landscape, so I'll take the Tigers along the spread as my best bet. LSU has captured eight wins in its last 11 games and seven of those eight wins have come by a margin of at least 3 runs. In fact, they average win margin in that span is +5.4. The Tigers flexed their muscles on Saturday and have an opportunity to do it again on Sunday.

Bet: LSU Tigers -2.5 (-113)
