Alabama and Tennessee will begin a three-game baseball series on Thursday evening in Knoxville, with both teams looking to shake off a recent run of bad results. The series could carry significant postseason implications for Tennessee. 

BetMGM has college baseball odds available for all of this week’s NCAA action.

Alabama vs. Tennessee: Series Preview

The SEC baseball standings make this series look a bit more middling than it actually is. 

Alabama was an expected contender this year in a typically hypercompetitive SEC, and the Tide entered April in a strong early position. They were 25-8 overall and 8-4 in conference play when they left Norman with a road series win on April 4.

But a tough schedule has mostly dominated Alabama this month. Arkansas and Texas beat up on the Crimson Tide pretty well, taking five of six games from them over the last couple of weeks. The low point was on Tuesday, when UAB won in Tuscaloosa 11-2.

Tennessee will be the “easiest” series Alabama has played in a while, but the Vols’ desperation makes them dangerous. Tennessee needs to shore up its at-large profile for the coming NCAA Selection Show, and it’s running out of time to score meaningful series wins. Its margin for error shrinks if it can’t pull wins off a reeling Alabama team.

Tyler Fay is expected to take the mound for Alabama. His 1.03 WHIP is one signal that he’s got a bit more zone control than expected Tennessee starter Landon Mack (3-3, 4.39 ERA, 1.43 WHIP). 

However, with Alabama’s bats running cool over the last few weeks, Tennessee remains a short home favorite in Game 2. If Alabama can finally break out of its slump in Knoxville, the +105 odds for Game 1 look pretty juicy.
