Arkansas vs LSU Preview, Pick
This is the rematch we all wanted, as the two SEC titans will square off for the second time in Omaha. The LSU Tigers rode the dominant duo of Kade Anderson and Chase Shores in the first meeting, holding the Razorbacks to just one run.
While we won't see Anderson in this one, the LSU pitching staff is very fresh, boasting seven arms that haven't touched the mound yet.
However, the Razorbacks' staff is reloaded as well after Zach Root ate up innings in a 125-pitch effort against UCLA on Tuesday.
With both teams lacking a true starting option for this matchup, we should see both managers mix and match their way through this one to keep these potent lineups at bay.
After all, the bullpens are a strength of both these clubs, as Arkansas ranks fourth in ERA and LSU isn't far behind in 13th.
We're in for another hard-fought matchup between two of the best teams in the country, so I'm going to take the under in this SEC semifinal showdown.
Pick: Under 10.5 (-110)
