In other words, this is a pretty well-rounded LSU team that can beat you with pitching and/or offense depending on the day.

LSU, along with Arkansas, Tennessee, and Oklahoma seem to be the most “balanced” teams in the league when looking at ERA and BA.

Missouri is perfectly balanced, in a bad way… last in both ERA and batting average.
