  • College World Series odds at BetMGM price Tennessee as a -105 favorite.
  • Texas A&M (+250) is the second-most popular futures ticket at BetMGM.

The college baseball postseason has reached its final phase: the College World Series.

Eight teams have made it to Omaha. At the end, only one will be left standing. 

Naturally, the BetMGM online sportsbook has the odds you’re looking for.

NC State +5000

College World Series Prediction: Who Will Win the NCAA Baseball Championship This Year?

Based on the current futures market, the Tennessee Volunteers have an implied 51.2% chance to win the College World Series. 

Texas A&M (+250, 28.6%) is the next most likely to win the championship, followed by Kentucky (+350, 22.2%).

College Baseball Odds: CWS Is Finally Here

Much like NCAA football, college baseball odds are dominated by teams in the southern part of the country. Eight of the last nine Division I championships were won by teams in Virginia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, or Florida. 

This year’s College World Series continues that trend with all eight teams coming from the ACC and SEC. 

Tennessee entered the CWS phase of the postseason at +250. The Vols have been the No. 1 team for much of the stretch run of the season, so it’s not surprising they are BetMGM’s most popular team to win the championship. As of June 7, they accounted for 12% of all tickets and 17.9% of all handle. (They also play in a state with legal online gambling.)

Texas A&M remains the No. 2 team in the table, accounting for 8.3% of tickets and 11.7% of handle.

Many of the most popular bets beyond the top two teams have already been eliminated. Arkansas, LSU, Oregon State, Wake Forest, and Clemson were five of the eight teams that had at least 4% of the championship ticket share at BetMGM as of June 7. None of them made it to the CWS; three of them didn’t even make it out of their regional.

Bettors who are chasing return will most likely look at the two Florida schools. The Seminoles are +1700 despite posting a gaudy 24-4 win over UConn to open the super regional round. They came close to beating No. 1 Tennessee in their opening game of the CWS.

The Gators, who were a bubble team before making the NCAA field, were +8000 at the start of June.
