We have an exciting Southeastern Conference series beginning on Thursday evening as the third-ranked Tennessee Volunteers and the Florida Gators battle it out inside Gainesville, Florida, at the Condron Family Ballpark.

The Vols (37-8, 15-6 SEC) suffered a 9-6 home setback to the Lipscomb Bison on Tuesday. The Gators (23-21, 9-12 SEC) are on a two-game winning run following their 10-8 home victory over the Florida Atlantic Owls.

Left-hander Chris Stamos (3-0, 2.89 ERA) will be on the mound for Tennessee, while Florida will counter with southpaw Pierce Coppola (0-2, 10.50 ERA).

Tennessee vs Florida Baseball Prediction

The Tennessee Volunteers are the overall better team. However, the Vols are only 5-4 on the road this season, while the Gators are 16-9 at home up to this point.

Pierce Coppola hasn't pitched well, allowing a pair of home runs in six innings. Moreover, he does not provide too much length, as he has not pitched more than 58 pitches or three innings.

Outside of Jac Caglanone, the pitching for the Gators feels a bit lackluster. Tennessee is one of the best programs in the entire country and Chris Stamos has pitched 18.2 innings this season and is shutting hitters down as he has a .167 opposing batting average and nine walks to 18 strikeouts.

With five different hitters in the Vols lineup with at least a 1.140 OPS, this lineup is going to mash and score a bunch of runs so go with the Tennessee Volunteers to pick up the victory.
