COLLEGE STATION \u2014 As it embarks on its second SEC road series of the season,\u00a0Texas A&M baseball<\/a> might be doing so with revenge in mind.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

No. 25 A&M (19-5, 2-4) prepares to face Missouri for the first time since being swept at home <\/a>last season. The Tigers’ (17-9, 1-5) only conference wins last year were against the\u00a0Aggies. They finished the season 16-39 overall and 3-27 in the SEC.<\/p>\n

The late-season embarrassment happened just a week after A&M took two of three from No. 2 LSU. The series loss effectively ended the Aggies’ postseason hopes.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to this season, the\u00a0Aggies’ pitching struggled last weekend against Georgia<\/a>, giving up 23 runs, including nine on Friday and eight on Saturday. With a chance to move above .500 in conference play, this weekend will be a crucial test to see where A&M ranks among its SEC opponents.<\/p>\n

Will Texas A&M secure a series win? Here are three key things to know about the Tigers, along with a prediction for Texas A&M vs. Missouri:<\/p>\n

Missouri middle of pack at the dish<\/p>\n

Entering the weekend, Missouri has been solid at the plate, but unspectacular.<\/p>\n

The Tigers rank eighth in the SEC in batting average and are posting a slash line of .293\/.419\/.452. Four Missouri players are hitting over .300, with no player surpassing four home runs. Contrast that with Texas A&M, which has five\u00a0players hitting over .300 and two\u00a0players who have more than four homers.<\/p>\n

They’ve scored four or more runs in six conference games and been held to two runs or fewer in four games.<\/p>\n

One bright spot sits in Missouri’s middling offense: graduate transfer Jase Woita.<\/p>\n

The former South Carolina and Kansas City Kansas Community College player leads the team in batting average at .376 and is slashing .376\/.500\/.576.<\/p>\n

Last season, he batted .400 at the community college, with 11 home runs and 13 doubles. He batted .411 in 2024 there. At South Carolina, he made\u00a031 starts, hitting .300 with six home runs and 21 RBIs\u00a0in 2023.<\/p>\n

This year, the Tigers’ designated hitter has tallied 32 hits, five doubles, four home runs, and 29 RBIs in 85 at-bats.<\/p>\n

Tigers struggling on the mound<\/p>\n

Missouri’s issues this season have mainly come on the mound, where they rank 13th in the SEC with a team ERA of 4.41.\u00a0The staff has allowed eight or more runs five times, going 1-4 in those games.<\/p>\n

Weekend starters Josh McDevitt, Javyn Pimental and Brady Kehlenrink have appeared in six games each, with a combined 3.81 ERA over 91 innings. The trio has allowed 63 hits and 39 runs in their outings.<\/p>\n

They have been strong in limiting the long ball, giving up seven home runs combined.<\/p>\n

Missouri was picked to finish last in 2026<\/p>\n

After a tough year in 2025, optimism for the Tigers was low. SEC coaches predicted Missouri to finish last in the conference in the preseason poll. No Tigers player appeared on any preseason award list.<\/p>\n

Missouri starts the weekend with one win in conference after the first two series, a feat that took them until May last year.<\/p>\n

Texas A&M baseball vs Missouri series prediction<\/p>\n

Texas A&M 3-0. Picking a road team in the SEC to sweep the weekend is bold, no doubt. However, A&M\u00a0has yet to play a full weekend of quality baseball, and what better time to do that than against a team that burned it last season? The Aggies’ bats have responded more often than their pitchers.\u00a0But this is the weekend Shane Sdao and Weston Moss step up and deliver their best performances to help push A&M above .500 in the SEC.<\/p>\n
