Just over a month ago, Auburn met the Tide in Montgomery at Riverwalk Stadium and destroyed Alabama 10-1. Andrew Mitchell pitched a fantastic game back during his streak of midweek performances, and Alabama was forced to go through a number of pitchers.
What does that game tell us about this weekend's series? Nothing.
Neither team was using their best pitchers in that game, and Auburn's offense was still going strong with Josh Palacios and Daniel Robert in the lineup. Jackson Burgreen's big last few weeks has helped in their absence and Damon Haecker has come out of his early-season struggles in a big way, but missing Palacios has been huge.
