But they could really fall apart down the last half of the season with 4 of the 5 SEC series being against top half SEC teams right now in LSU, UGA, Ole Miss and Alabama.

Their starters have gotten rocked big time by Vandy this past weekend and they still haven't settled on a 3rd weekend starter as Smyly got benched and a guy who hadn't started a game in Justin Wells was scheduled to pitch today.

Keuchel (their FRIDAY night starter) has a 4.53 ERA and opponents are batting .306 against him. Forrest, their Saturday starter, has a 5.02 ERA and opponents are batting .271 against him.

They also only hit .284 as a team right now. All this doesn't add up to a strong finish against the conferences better teams IMO. Weak starting pitching, good relief pitching though...but weak bats.

disagree arky is a solid team. they are a scrappy bunch that seems to strive late in the game if the score is manageable. i see a arky, lsu,uga challenge for the sec regular season championship. i'm probably wrong but thats my thought on the race.
