SEC Baseball Tournament: Forecasts, Wagers, and Betting Lines for the Showdown between Ole Miss and Arkansas
In the quarterfinals of the SEC Baseball Tournament on May 23, 2025, the fourth-seeded Arkansas Razorbacks are favored against the seventh-seeded Ole Miss Rebels. The Razorbacks, who boast a impressive 43-12 record, have a moneyline advantage of -238, while the Rebels are listed as +180 underdogs.
The pitching matchup features Riley Maddox for Ole Miss (5-5, 5.46 ERA) against Zach Root for Arkansas (6-4, 4.16 ERA). Despite Root's somewhat shaky form, Arkansas is expected to receive plenty of support from their high-scoring offense.
The Rebels will likely rely on their potent batters, such as Luke Hill, a top-50 MLB prospect, and those with double-digit home runs, to challenge Root. The back-and-forth competition between these teams earlier in the season suggests a high-scoring contest, leading to a prediction of over 10.5 runs at -110 with Bet365.
Ole Miss secured their quarterfinals berth after defeating Florida, and Hunter Elliott delivered an impressive outing in their previous game. Meanwhile, Arkansas will look to retain their momentum after claiming two of three meetings with Ole Miss earlier in the season. Their impressive lineup, led by Wehiwa Aloy's 18 home runs, offers a potent threat to Maddox's pitching.
The game is scheduled to start at 3:00 p.m. Central Time at the Hoover Metropolitan Complex in Hoover, Alabama, and will be broadcast on the SEC Network. The Razorbacks enter the tournament with a strong overall record and high expectations, but the Rebels will aim to capitalize on their recent hot streak to upset the favorites.
