OMAHA, Neb. – The College World Series rolls on Monday with two games and a third on Tuesday as the race for the national title comes down to the wire. Arkansas and Murray State kick off the action in an elimination game.
Arkansas vs Murray State Game Odds
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arkansas | –4.5 (EVEN) | -575 | O 12.0 (-120) |
| Murray State | +4.5 (-130) | +360 | U 12.0 (-110) |
Arkansas opens as heavy favorites with -575 odds to win outright and a four and a half run spread at college baseball betting sites.
Murray State has widely been viewed as the Cinderella team of the field, defying the odds to even make it to Omaha. They lost their first game to 15th ranked UCLA by a final score of 6-4.
Arkansas earned the third overall seed and was a surprise entry into the elimination bracket, losing to #6 LSU 4-1 in their first game.
Murray State has lost just one game by more than three runs since the beginning of the NCAA Tournament and had rallied to win two straight against the Duke Blue Devils in the Super Regionals to advance to the World Series. Bet on the Racers to cover the spread at -130.
UCLA vs LSU Game Odds
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCLA | +2.5 (-115) | +230 | O 9.5 (-110) |
| LSU | -2.5 (-115) | -320 | U 9.5 (-120) |
UCLA and LSU find themselves in the winners’ bracket and just a few games away from the championship series. Legal sports betting sites favor the Tigers at -320 odds.
Both teams had been on a roll entering the tournament, with UCLA yet to lose a game since the Big Ten Tournament and LSU losing just one game in regionals.
Overall, the two teams should be evenly matched, considering the fact that they are ranked sixth and 15th in the country, so betting on UCLA to cover the spread is the safest play for this game.
Oregon State vs Louisville Game Odds
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oregon State | -1.5 (-105) | -200 | O 9.5 (-115) |
| Louisville | +1.5 (-125) | +160 | U 9.5 (-115) |
Oregon State and Louisville meet in an elimination game on Tuesday as each team has gone 1-1 to start the tournament. The Beavers gave Louisville their first loss of the tournament on Friday.
Oregon State lost yesterday against Coastal Carolina while Louisville eliminated Arizona to stay alive. The first contest between the two teams was won by the Beavers by a final score of 4-3. Expect another close contest, which should be even harder for Oregon State to win due to the nature of the second meeting.
Bet on Louisville to cover the one and a half run spread.
