Tennessee vs. Evansville prediction

The Vols were able to pick up an 11-6 victory on Friday and should dominate once again. The lineup has a 1.023 team OPS while hitting 163 home runs, so they should dominate throughout the game.

Donovan Schultz has been struggling throughout the season, and the first sign of trouble means he will be pulled with the season on the line. While the Tennessee Volunteers have been the overall better team, expecting an eight-run victory is crazy. So, take the Purple Aces to cover the run line.

Prediction: Evansville Purple Aces +7.5 (-140)
