Prediction: LSU Tigers VS Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans 2025-06-01
The LSU Tigers, ranked No. 3 by D1Baseball, are looking to advance to the super regionals with a win over the unranked Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans. And let's be real, it's not like the Trojans have a chance, right? I mean, LSU has already dominated them 7-0 in their first meeting, with junior right-hander Anthony Eyanson tossing 7⅔ scoreless innings and junior Daniel Dickinson hitting two home runs.
The Tigers are on fire, having not allowed a run in 13 innings in the regional, including a 12-0 shutout of No. 2 Dallas Baptist on Saturday. Sophomore left-hander Kade Anderson pitched seven scoreless innings in that game, because why not? It's not like the Tigers are trying to conserve their pitching staff or anything.
The probable starters for Sunday's game have not been announced, but freshman right-hander Casan Evans and redshirt sophomore right-hander Jaden Noot are favorites to take the ball for LSU. Meanwhile, the Trojans will likely start right-hander Gage Haley, who started against DBU on Sunday afternoon before turning to right-hander Zach Bucisk in relief for four innings.
The odds are heavily in favor of LSU, with DraftKings listing them as -1030 favorites (yes, you read that right, -1030). The spread is set at 7.5 runs, with LSU favored to cover at -110. The over/under is set at 16.0 runs, with the over priced at -110.
My best bet for this game is LSU -7.5. I mean, come on, they've already shut out the Trojans 7-0, and they're on a 13-inning scoreless streak. The Tigers are going to win this game, and they're going to win it big. Take LSU -7.5 and watch the Tigers advance to the super regionals in style.
