LSU won a thrilling Game 1 on Saturday and will look to pull off the two-game sweep to capture the College World Series. With winds blowing deep to center, our betting picks expect Sunday's affair to be a high-scoring one.
The Florida Gators entered the CWS final with a rest advantage after they wrapped up their side of the bracket a day early and therefore had two full days to recover. The Tigers, meanwhile, needed to win four games in four days to advance — the last of which came in extra innings. The rest situation still looms large after Game 1, although in a different way than anticipated heading into the weekend.
Lefty Nate Ackenhausen likely gets the nod, and while he’s been effective with a 2.86 ERA, he’ll be making just his second start of the season and has thrown just 28 1/3 innings. Thatcher Hurd and his 5.97 ERA, among others, will be waiting in the wings. The Gators, meanwhile, have essentially used just three relief pitchers this postseason — which makes Game 1’s usage so concerning. They burned up two of those relief pitchers as Cade Fisher and Brandon Neely both threw over 50 pitches on Saturday. While Hurston Waldrep is a fantastic starter, it’s unclear what the bullpen situation will look like behind him.
