Oregon State vs LSU Prediction & Pick

Sunday's matchup offers up an opportunity for a renewed rivalry. Oregon State and LSU have met in the postseason seven times in the last 11 years with the Tigers owning a 4-3 record during that span. Starting the Baton Rouge regional with a 2-0 record would be huge for either one of these squads.

Even though Oregon State demolished Sam Houston State on Friday, I have to go with LSU here. The Tigers have the second-best odds to win the NCAA Championship for a reason and will likely have Ty Floyd on the mound (7-0 record in 2023). He has allowed an opposing batting average of only .197.

Gve me a Tigers team that owns a 29-7 record at home to keep rolling with a victory on Sunday.

Final Score Prediction: Oregon State: 6 | LSU: 9

Oregon State vs LSU Best Bet

Being able to back the Tigers along a spread of 1.5 runs seems like a steal considering their last 12 wins have all been decided by a multi-run margin. Oregon State is going to put up a fight on Sunday, but the Beavers are still a team that has posted a 12-9 record in away games this season. A crowd of over 10,000 screaming Tigers fans should help LSU pull away in the later innings of this one.

Bet: LSU Tigers -1.5 (-115)
