Georgia slips into the Super Regional seeding, guaranteeing two straight weekends at Foley Field — if it makes it out of this pod.

This was a successful first year for head coach Wes Johnson, as the pitching staff came together in early April to dominate SEC play.

Kolten Smith progressed from the bullpen to Friday night starter throughout the season, last dominating Florida with 12 strikeouts and two earned runs in eight innings of work.

The star of the Bulldogs bandwagon is sophomore first baseman Charlie Condon, who leads all Division I baseball players with 35 home runs.

UNC Wilmington may not possess the offense of the Regional host, but it does bring the best pitching staff to Athens, from starter RJ Sales to closer Luke Craig.

The Seahawks' RPI was diluted thanks to CAA play, ultimately beating Charleston twice to capture the tournament crown. Head coach Randy Hood's team also picked up victories in nonconference play over NC State and Wake Forest.

Georgia Tech slides into the 3-seed with an RPI boost thanks to series wins over NC State, Virginia and Duke. The Yellow Jackets were a quick two-and-out in the ACC Tournament, as the pitching staff brings nearly the worst metrics of any team in terms of ERA and WHIP.

Head coach Danny Hall did play Georgia earlier this season, losing both games during the first weekend of March.

Georgia projects between -160 and -280 in pitching combinations against UNC Wilmington and Georgia Tech. A 65% series price correlates to true odds of -190 for the Bulldogs.

UNCW will not have the offense to keep up with the Dawgs, while the Yellow Jackets' bullpen has been on the struggle bus all season.

Pick: Georgia -150 or Better
