Why You Should Bet on LSU to Win the College World Series

LSU was one of the more battle-tested College World Series this year. The Tigers found their way into the championship by defeating Wake Forest when it meant the most. Paul Skenes and the pitching staff anchored the LSU squad as the Tigers got timely enough hitting to win their bracket. 

LSU won the College World Series Trophy last in 2009. The Tigers might be looking for some revenge for the 2017 final, when Florida swept them. Programs have long memories, and the Tigers have the balance to go out on top. They are more than just Dylan Crews, Tommy White, and Paul Skenes

Why You Should Bet on Florida to Win the College World Series

Florida utilized its balance perfectly in this College World Series. This time, Florida was able to get through its bracket unscathed. It is a team that has played games close. Against Virginia, the Gators walked off with a sacrifice fly. They held off TCU behind an outstanding catch from Michael Robertson. Florida has played all hands on deck.

Kevin O’Sullivan has this team looking for its first national title since 2017. The second-ranked team in college baseball features a team that has not lost its poise once, even if their coach forgot how many mound visits he can make. Florida is the first team in 21 years to advance, winning every game by one run. It also will not face LSU No. 1 pitcher Skenes right away, either. 

College World Series Best Bet

From the start of the College World Series, the feeling was an SEC team would win the national championship. This is challenging because Florida and LSU are evenly matched. They have not faced each other this season.

Now, if any team can win with expectations, it is LSU. The Tigers stretched Wake Forest to the distance before Tommy "Tanks" White delivered a home run in the 11th inning. They are the one team who has been here so often. Experience and revenge could be the best motivation for LSU, our best bet to avenge their 2017 loss to Florida in three games.
