Tennessee vs. Vanderbilt Baseball Prediction

The Tennessee Volunteers are the top-ranked program in college baseball for a reason and should be able to dominate in this game. Zander Sechrist has been doing well and should be able to pitch better than his last start as Vanderbilt is not known as too much of an offensive threat.

Tennessee has a 1.050 team OPS as one of the best offensive threats. Even the more traditional counting stats showcase this with 131 total home runs hit, including Christian Moore hitting 23 total home runs.

With an outstanding program in all facets of the game, the Vols should be able to pick up a win here. To compare power numbers, the Commodores have hit less than half the number of home runs, with just 56 this season.

All in all, go with the Volunteers to pick up a win and sweep the series.

Prediction: Tennessee Volunteers -150
