However, that doesn't mean I'm saying A&M can't beat them. I'm really looking forward to the series. I know A&M's pitching stats are impressive, but I know LSU has one of, if not the best, SP in the country in Alex Lange and then Poche is also a high quality starter. LSU also boasts the highest batting average in the SEC, but that will come up against the lowest team ERA in the conference in A&M. Should be some quality baseball.
LSU comes into this week #1 in Perfect Game, Baseball America, D1 Baseball, Collegiate Baseball and USA Today/Coaches polls. A&M was number 2 in almost all of them except Collegiate Baseball for some reason has them at #4, random.
Edit: just saw on twitter that all but 5 tickets had been sold for the weekend series and their standing room.
