Auburn baseball vs. Coastal Carolina: Prediction, odds for game one
Auburn baseball vs. Coastal Carolina: Prediction, odds for game one Here are the latest odds for Auburn's Super Regional opener vs. Coastal Carolina.
Friday night will be historical for the Auburn Tigers baseball program, as it will host its first-ever NCAA Super Regional at Plainsman Park.
The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers are next on the docket, a team enters the series on an impressive 21-game winning streak which includes two wins over ECU and a victory over Fairfield in last weekend's Conway Regional. This year's super regional between Auburn and Coastal Carolina will feature strong pitching and even tougher outs at the plate. The Tigers boast six players with .300 batting averages or greater while Coastal has five. Each team has two hitters with 50 or more RBI while Auburn holds the edge in batters with 10-plus home runs, 3-2.
Pitching wise, Sam Dutton will toe the rubber for Auburn in game one while Cameron Flukey gets the nod for the Chants. Both pitchers have ERA's lower than 3.90 and have struck out over 90 batters, which will challenge the bats of both teams.
Who sets the tone by claiming game one of the Auburn Super Regional? Here is a look at the latest odds from FanDuel ahead of first pitch.

Best bet, prediction
Auburn will look to set the tone by chasing Coastal Carolina starter Cameron Flukey early, but it will not be easy. Auburn will need to receive similar production from Ike Irish, Chris Rembert, Bub Terrell, Eric Snow, and Cooper McMurray as it did in the Auburn Regional last weekend to achieve that goal. Auburn gets the edge here because with those bats, and a strong relief effort by Carson Myers following Sam Dutton's outing, the Tigers should win a tight one in front of a record crowd.
Best bet: Auburn -1.5

Auburn baseball vs. Coastal Carolina: Live coverage of Auburn Super Regional game two Auburn baseball suffered a tough loss on Friday night/early Saturday morning to the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, 7-6 in 10 innings, to fall behind 1-0 in the Auburn Super Regional. The Tigers trailed 6-1 in the 4th inning before chipping away in the 5th and 6th inning, and ultimately tying the game at 6-6 with an Eric Snow solo home run in the 7th inning to force extra innings. Caden Bodine hit a solo home run in the 10th inning to seal the win for the Chanticleers. He, along with teammate Blagen Pado, homered twice in the game for Coastal Carolina. Friday's game, which got underway at 8:06 p.m. CT, was delayed in the middle of the game by one hour and 46 minutes and ended in the early morning hours of Saturday. Auburn head coach Butch Thompson hopes that his team can find confidence despite the quick turnaround. 'We have confidence and resilience,' Thompson said postgame. 'We have to put our head down, get some sleep and get back out here. Quick turnaround, get back out here and do everything we can to try to win a baseball game and extend the season.' Check back throughout the game for the latest updates, highlights, and trends from game two of the Auburn Super Regional between Auburn and Coastal Carolina from Plainsman Park in Auburn, Alabama. One game to keep an eye on as you wait for first pitch between Auburn and Coastal Carolina is Saturday's game between North Carolina and Arizona. The Tar Heels are up 1-0 in the series and currently lead the Wildcats, 8-6 in the bottom of the 7th in game two. The winner of the Chapel Hill Super Regional will face the winner of the Auburn Super Regional in the opening round of the College World Series next week. Here's a look at how the Tigers will lineup on Saturday, with stats from Friday night's game included. Butch Thompson is going with the same lineup as last night that out-hit the Chanticleers, 11-10. 2B Chris Rembert (2-for-3, RBI, BB) Chris Rembert (2-for-3, RBI, BB) LF Bub Terrell (0-4, BB, 2 K) Bub Terrell (0-4, BB, 2 K) RF Ike Irish (2-for-4, RBI, 2B, HR) Ike Irish (2-for-4, RBI, 2B, HR) 1B Cooper McMurray (2-for-4, RBI, 2B) Cooper McMurray (2-for-4, RBI, 2B) DH Lucas Steele (1-for-5, RBI) Lucas Steele (1-for-5, RBI) 3B Eric Snow (2-for-4, RBI, HR) Eric Snow (2-for-4, RBI, HR) CF Bristol Carter (1-for-4) Bristol Carter (1-for-4) C Chase Fralick (1-for-5, 2B) Chase Fralick (1-for-5, 2B) SS Deric Fabian (0-for-4) Auburn: RHP Andreas Alvarez (3-1, 5.47 ERA) Coastal Carolina: RHP Jacob Morrison (11-0, 2.19 ERA) After striking out five batters and allowing zero runs in his start against NC State last Sunday to clinch the Auburn Regional title, freshman Andreas Alvarez has earned the right to start on the mound for the Tigers in game two of the Auburn Super Regional. He will rival Coastal Carolina right-hander Jacob Morrison, who is second on the team in strikeouts with 89 entering Saturday's game. Last night's game was delayed for nearly two hours due to thunder and heavy rain in the area. Will weather play a factor in game two? According to Accuweather, there is a 40% chance of rain during the 2 and 3 p.m. CT hours, with the greatest risk coming during the 4 p.m. CT hour at 51%. Counties north of Lee County are under Severe Thunderstorm Watches currently, so the weather will be worth monitoring.

Auburn receives massive jump in ESPN FPI heading into 2025 season
Auburn receives massive jump in ESPN FPI heading into 2025 season The Auburn Tigers have not lived up to expectations on the gridiron for most of the decade, but with back-to-back highly touted recruiting classes and an abundance of impact transfers on the way, Hugh Freeze's squad is expected to compete for at the top half of the SEC in 2025. Those high expectations were displayed in ESPN's opening Football Power Index rankings, in which Auburn was one of the biggest risers from last year's list. The Tigers checked in at the No. 14 spot in the FPI, sandwiched between a pair of fellow SEC teams in Ole Miss (No. 13) and South Carolina (No. 15). The ranking was a huge jump from where the Tigers finished 2024, as Hugh Freeze's team didn't even finish inside of the top 30 after losing the Iron Bowl and missing out on a bowl game. Auburn's 17 spot jump from No. 31 to No. 14 was the largest among teams currently ranked in the top 20. Hugh Freeze's squad is the only program ranked in the top 15 that did not finish last season ranked in the top 25. While the jump, and the company Auburn has enjoyed because of it, may seem like an ambitious projection, it does make sense when looking at the drastically improved nature of the Tigers roster. Next season's version of the Tigers will feature a new signal caller under center, a myriad of four and five-star recruits on the defensive side of the football, and a receiving duo of Cam Coleman and Eric Singleton Jr. that is being described as a top duo in the nation by many experts. The next step for Hugh Freeze's squad is to prove it on Saturdays in the fall. If they don't, the No. 14 team in FPI will fall right back to No. 31 before long.
