Hattiesburg Regional Odds

LSU Tigers
+100
Southern Miss Golden Eagles
+140
Kennesaw State Owls
+700
Army Black Knights
+3500

Army and Kennesaw State head to Hattiesburg to face off against an ultra-talented LSU squad and Southern Mississippi.

The home team has longer odds than LSU but will be a favorite of -575 against Army. That buffer against the 4-seed allows the Eagles to save Tanner Hall or Hunter Riggins for LSU on Saturday.

Defense should play a big role, as Southern Miss' fielding percentage rank in the top 50 destroys those of the other three programs coming to Hill Denson Field.

Hattiesburg is projected to feature low-scoring games. A park factor of 0.75 shows that Southern Miss scored most of its runs away from home.

Pitching and defense will be key, as LSU projects as a pick’em with Ma’Khail Hilliard or Ty Floyd against Southern Miss.

While LSU has an offense that paces Southern Miss, this Regional is expected to go the distance between the top two teams. LSU’s lack of defense will be the ultimate factor, leading the Regional host to advance.

Pick: Southern Miss to Win Hattiesburg Regional (+140)
