Mississippi State vs. Arkansas Prediction

The Mississippi State Bulldogs are a good team but are going up against the Arkansas Razorbacks, which is a better team overall. The Razorbacks have a slight advantage as they have 67 total home runs, while the Bulldogs have hit 60 homers this season.

Brooks Auger pitched three innings on Saturday and is going to be tired as well as not being able to provide too much length in Sunday's game. Mississippi State is a solid offensive team, but they will struggle against Mason Molina. Molina has shown the ability to pitch well and limit the number of runs while dominating the mound with 71 strikeouts over the course of 49.2 innings of work.

These teams have been doing well but Arkansas should pitch well and limit the amount of runs scored against them. The Arkansas Razorbacks need to figure out how to win as the better team at home, so they should be able to pick up a victory.

Prediction: Arkansas Razorbacks -210
