Duke vs. Georgia Tech Baseball Predictions

This game will be intriguing to see as these teams have showcased their abilities to score runs. However, Duke has a deeper roster and should be able to easily pick up a win. Duke was able to come back after falling 6-1 and scored two runs in each of the final two innings to pick up the victory.

Georgia Tech's bullpen could not figure out how to get outs as they used six pitchers to pitch the final five innings, and all but one pitcher allowed a run in the game.

With the depleted bullpen that was not very effective, it is difficult to find a reason to back them here. The Blue Devils are the overall better program at this time. Tate McKee gets hit hard, and they had some experience against him earlier in this series and hit him well.

Expect to see a lot of runs being scored, as the first two matchups have shown, and go with the Duke Blue Devils to win this game and the series.

Prediction: Duke Blue Devils -110
