It going to be a hot one in Omaha where the temperatures look to be the only thing hotter than the bats. Winds are blowing out to left field once again so we could see several long home runs deciding the first game tonight. Omaha also has a Heat Advisory in place today and will likely see that continued tomorrow and Wednesday with high temps on Tuesday forecast at 99 degrees. Both Texas and LSU are from the South and have played in brutal weather all year long so I don't see the weather having that much of an impact on the game. There could be a small advantage to LSU do to humidity levels being so high. I also like LSU to win in two games so it may be this bias that has me looking for reasons with the weather to favor them.
Game time temps will be in the 90s at 6 central time. Temps will fall into the upper 80s by the 7th inning stretch and people in the crowd will be rather comfortable from that time on with southeasterly winds at 10 mph. Should be a heck of a game with some deep home runs making for an exciting early game and a blowout by the end of the game. LSU wins tonight with strong pitching performance 11-4.
