1. Coastal Carolina Chanticleers: Coastal Carolina is one of the hottest teams in the country, coming into the NCAA Tournament on an 18-game winning streak.
The Chanticleers are clicking on all cylinders, and playing in their home park will only aid the bats because they’ve been dynamite on the mound. The Chants rank second in team ERA and third in WHIP.
Their pitching depth will allow them to match up with the two power arms of the Florida Gators. I get that much of their success came against the Sun Belt, but Coastal is a coin-flip at worst against Florida.
2. Florida Gators: Speaking of the Gators, it’s hard to knock them, as they really finished the year strong by picking up series wins over Arkansas and Texas.
The Gators' pitching made a big leap, as both Liam Peterson and Pierce Coppola showed they can shut down some of the nation’s best lineups.
Coastal Carolina will have to contend with one of them, and it will be no picnic. Plus, we should expect the Gators' power to play up in the hitter-friendly confines of Brooks Stadium.
3. East Carolina Pirates: ECU may be the weakest 3-seed in the field. The Pirates picked up their spot after making a run through the AAC Tournament as a 6-seed after finishing 13-14 in conference play.
While they're lacking offensively in this region, ace Ethan Norby is legit and has the potential to keep them in the game against Florida on Friday.
The Gators are big favorites, but Norby opens up a run line if we get them at +3.5 or even an under at 13.5 or better.
4. Fairfield Stags: The Stags are being overlooked in this region, and as the 4-seed, that's common. However, they could benefit greatly from hitting in Conway.
Fairfield is a solid offense, averaging 8.3 runs per game while ranking 56th in wRC+. I’ll be looking to back this team on Saturday against ECU, as it should only be a slight underdog.
