Tennessee vs Clemson Prediction & Pick

Clemson has been on a heater, winning 17 consecutive games ahead of this matchup. The Tigers have upped their play even more lately, beating their last five opponents 51-20 on aggregate. They're also 10-2 SU in their last 12 games at Doug Kingsmore Stadium, making things even more of an uphill battle for the visiting Vols.

With both sides ranking inside of the top 25 nationwide when it comes to team ERA, I have to go with the team I trust more to score and that's Clemson. The Tigers are batting .310 this season (No. 20 in NCAA) while averaging over 10 runs in their last five outings. The Volunteers know how to score, too, but their offense has seemingly died off in recent weeks.

With the home-field advantage also being a factor here, Clemson is in a good spot to win tonight.

Final Score Prediction: Clemson: 5 | Tennessee: 4

Tennessee vs Clemson Best Bet

Betting options are limited in the college baseball landscape, I'm taking Clemson at -125 on the moneyline. For starters, a moneyline bet provides more value than a spread wager if the Tigers are to win. Secondly, Clemson has shown zero signs of slowing down lately and is putting up runs at a much better rate than Tennessee.

Unless the Tigers completely pivot away from what's worked, victory should be theirs.
