Spenser Davis writes: “I think LSU found something with freshman Cavan Evans in the decisive game against Little Rock on Monday. He gives the Tigers a complete rotation going into a Super Regional matchup where they’re heavily favored. WVU took advantage of collapses from Clemson and Kentucky, but I don’t think we’ll see something similar from LSU this weekend.”
Action Network: Bet LSU to beat West Virginia in Super Regionals
Doug Ziefel writes: “LSU may have the best 1-2 punch in the country in Kade Anderson and Anthony Eyanson. Those two have been dominant and should shut down the Mountaineers’ lineup in a sweep. In my Baton Rouge Regional preview, I had LSU to make the College World Series at -115. That’s much better than having to lay the Super Regional series price of -400.”
CBS Sports: LSU will beat West Virginia in three games
Will Backus writes: “West Virginia swept the Clemson Regional in three games. That’s impressive for a non-host. The Mountaineers have a great pair of starting arms in Griffin Kirn and Jack Kartsonas, who has been a revelation for WVU since shifting into a starting role midway through the season. LSU, meanwhile, struggled against Little Rock after it got past its pair of aces in Anthony Eyanson and Kade Anderson. Both teams want to avoid this getting to a Game 3. If it does — and I think it’s a real possibility — LSU’s bats (especially Jared Jones) turned a corner against Little Rock, and that pushes the Tigers the distance.”
