re: 5-1 over the next two weekends?

They’re 1-7 on Sundays.

And the average margin of defeat in those 7 losses is (nearly) 7 runs per game. LSU has lost by 10 runs on Sunday 4 times this season. Including last weekend.

While nothing is impossible, every ounce of data says a sweep, either this weekend or next, is HIGHLY unlikely. In fact, a blowout loss on Sunday in either series is more likely.

If LSU goes into next weekend needing a sweep to reach the NCAA Tournament, then you can almost close the book on that hope. However, 2 of 3 in both series is doable and would very likely be enough to sneak LSU in.
