Saturday Down South: Take Coastal Carolina to upset Auburn
Spenser Davis writes: “This may be the most highly-anticipated Super Regional of the weekend. Auburn was one of the few SEC teams who took care of business in its regional, going 3-0. Coastal Carolina is now the No. 1 team in the country per ELO after sweeping the Conway Regional. I made the mistake of picking Florida to win against Coastal. I’m not doing that again. The Chanticleers haven’t lost since April 22 and I think they’ll take at least 2-out-of-3 from the Tigers.”
Action Network: Bet Auburn to beat Coastal Carolina in three games
Doug Ziefel writes: “Their recent results show how evenly matched these clubs are, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see this series reach a third game. That’s likely how I’m going to be playing this series as a whole, with Auburn being inflated on its game-by-game moneyline price. As for each game, the over may hold value if the total for the first matchup is an indication of the respect that the Coastal Carolina pitching staff has earned.”
CBS Sports: Coastal Carolina will beat Auburn in three games
Will Backus writes: “Coastal Carolina has one of the best pitching staffs in the country. The Chanticleers boast a team ERA of 3.24, which is first among teams left in the tournament and second nationally to Northeastern. Their weekend rotation legitimately goes three deep with Jacob Morrison, Riley Eikhoff and Cameron Flukey. There’s not much dropoff in the bullpen, either. CCU has six relievers that have pitched in at least 15 games with an ERA below 4.00. While Auburn is literally a tough out — the Tigers have only struck out 422 times, fewer than any other team in the SEC, and they put a ton of balls in play — its pitching is susceptible enough that Coastal has a distinct advantage in this one.”
