Florida vs. Georgia Prediction
2 of 3
The Gators took the regular season series, beating the top-seeded Bulldogs 2-1, and Florida is capable of eliminating Georgia and cashing its ticket to the tournament final, too.
The Gators are the only team to have defeated Georgia to win a series from the Bulldogs this season and, more importantly, enter Saturday's showdown with momentum on their side following wins over Vanderbilt and Alabama. Against the Crimson Tide, Florida's bats were heavy and hot, with Ethan Suroweic totalling four hits in five at-bats, and Brendan Lawson following suit with two hits in his four appearances. The team, as a whole, delivered 16 hits in its drubbing of Alabama, 13-3.
The Bulldogs will have to rely on their dynamic offense, with hitting that is both powerful and consistent. If they cannot find their bats or the offense is stifled for whatever reason, the best team in the country this season will see themselves out of the postseason, falling short of their goal of a national championship. Seeking revenge following their series loss to the Gators, Georgia has plenty to play for.
The Gators' superior pitching, with depth their opponents cannot tout, may prove to be the difference and result in yet another upset following Friday's slate.
Prediction: Florida
Auburn vs. Arkansas Prediction
3 of 3
Both teams emerged victoriously on Friday in wins that can only be described as upsets.
Arkansas battered the Texas Longhorns and limited them to a single run, while Auburn shut out the third-seeded Texas A&M to set up a high-stakes semifinal contest Saturday.
Both teams shut down potent offenses, proving they have the pitching depth needed to win the whole tournament. Arkansas possesses one of the most potent offenses in the country, hitting nearly .300 as a team and 78 home runs.
The game likely comes down to the Razorbacks' bats' ability to beat up on the Tigers' Alex Petrovic (RHP, 3.38 ERA). If they can get to him early and force Auburn to look to its bullpen, Arkansas can tee off and make a run at the finals.
Arkansas' offense is so good that it is almost impossible to imagine any opponent slowing them down and dispatching them from the tournament.
Prediction: Arkansas
