Virginia vs. Florida State prediction
Virginia's offense struggled in their first game as they were 5-for-31 while Florida State's lineup went 13-for-40 and had nine total walks in their opening game. The Seminoles were able to hit a lot better throughout their first game in the CWS. It also helps to have a better starting pitcher as Jamie Arnold has shown the ability to dominate against the Virginia lineup.
Earlier this season, Arnold itched well as he went six innings and gave up a pair of runs in a victory during the ACC Championship Tournament. These teams have been able to step up and make it to the College World Series, but the Florida State Seminoles should be able to win here.
