May 31 saw a crazy day of baseball action that ultimately sent 10 teams to the NCAA tournament's super regional round. Now, six regionals remain to be decided.

The day opens with Game 6 of the Tallahassee Regional, which has been wrecked by weather. Florida State will see St. John's, the team that handed the Seminoles a loss to send them to the lower bracket at home. Florida State will need to beat the Johnnies twice on June 1 to make it to supers where it would play No. 7 Alabama, which won a wild extra-innings affair against Oklahoma State late on May 31.

Elsewhere, No. 2 tournament seed Georgia Tech is looking to fend off Oklahoma, whose bats have awoken in this tournament. Kentucky is trying to recover from a catastrophic collapse against West Virginia in Game 6 in Morgantown, where a five-run ninth kept the Mountaineers alive after going into the final frame down 9-6. Florida will look to hold off Troy, which has shown its tournament mettle after raising eyebrows by sneaking in as a 29-loss at-large bid. And Auburn has forced Milwaukee into a winner-take-all spot while USC has done the same with Texas A&M.

Who will advance out of each of these brackets? Here are USA TODAY Sports' picks to survive what has been a tumultuous regional round.

NCAA Baseball Tournament regional Game 7 picks

Atlanta Regional: No. 2 Georgia Tech vs Oklahoma, 3 p.m.

  • Pick: Georgia Tech

Both of these teams can put up runs in bunches, so who can do it one more time? Georgia Tech was the team that initially sent Oklahoma to the loser's bracket, and has more consistent bats. Even though the Sooners have exploded in the past two games, the Yellow Jackets have more big bats in the lineup. That proves to be the difference in what could be another high-scoring affair.

Auburn Regional: No. 4 Auburn vs Milwaukee, 6 p.m.

  • Pick: Auburn

No. 4 seed Milwaukee blocking No. 4 overall seed Auburn was a fun storyline on May 31, but now it's mano a mano, winner-take-all. The Tigers jumped all over Milwaukee in Game 6 and broke them down early. In these types of games, talent tends to win out, and Auburn is loaded with it.

Gainesville Regional: No. 8 Florida vs Troy, 6 p.m.

  • Pick: Florida

Troy's exclamation point in Game 6 was a grand slam in the sixth inning that made it 16-5. The Trojans have more than proven themselves as being worthy of the tournament after being a controversial at-large, but similar to the situation in Auburn, there's more depth with the Gators. What has been a very fun regional ends up being chalk, and Florida advances to host another terrifying team in Little Rock.

Tallahassee Regional: No. 10 Florida State vs St. John's

  • Pick: St. John's

Despite initially picking the Seminoles to make it out of Tallahassee, I didn't count on weather forcing them to win both legs of a doubleheader against what has been a brutally tough St. John's team. The Red Storm just put up 21 against Northern Illinois, and sent FSU to the losers' bracket to open the tournament. Florida State's uneven season comes to an end against the Big East.

College Station Regional: No. 12 Texas A&M vs USC

  • Pick: Texas A&M

USC finally got a big win in Game 6, now it has to do it again in Game 7. The Trojans have really struggled against good teams this year, and despite what it showed May 31, Texas A&M is a good team. The Aggies get out of College Station behind their big bats, and head to Chapel Hill to see a tough North Carolina team.

Morgantown Regional: No. 16 West Virginia vs Kentucky

  • Pick: West Virginia

Kentucky was another fringe case to get into this year's tournament, but the Wildcats managed to make it to Game 6 on the winners' side. In the top of the ninth, it looked like they had Morgantown buttoned up, but West Virginia played ring-around-the-bases to steal it and force a Game 7. That's tough mentally for any team, and West Virginia is able to capitalize with a Game 7 win in a raucous Morgantown on June 1.
