Florida vs. South Carolina: 2023 Gainesville Super Regional preview, prediction

As previously mentioned, the 2023 Gainesville Super Regional will be a Friday-Saturday-Sunday Super Regional. The winner of this best-of-3 series will matchup with the winner of the Charlottesville Super Regional (#7 Virginia vs. Duke) in the opening round of the College World Series.

The start time and channel designation for the If Necessary game on Sunday are still To Be Determined (based on results of other regionals). All three games of the Super Regional will be available for streaming on ESPN+.

2023 Gainesville Super Regional Prediction – Florida wins in 3 games

Even with South Carolina winning all three previous matchups in the regular season, I feel that Florida is in a better position to win the 2023 Gainesville Super Regional. With a dangerous lineup and a more stable starting pitching rotation, I’m giving the edge to the Gators in a Super Regional that I think will go the distance. I believe that this will be one of the most competitive Super Regionals with tons of talent on the field, and South Carolina seeming to have cured their issues that plagued them in late-April and May.
