James Madison vs Florida State Baseball Betting Odds

The Florida State Seminoles begin their 2025 campaign as heavy 3.5-run favorites against James Madison. FSU defeated JMU in their last six meetings against the Dukes in Tallahassee, covering a 3.5-run Florida sports betting spread in five of those games (won by three runs in other game).

FSU is one of our best longshot bets for the College World Series at +2800 with a loaded rotation and lineup. They’re a lock for win to start the season at -525 odds with preseason Pitcher of the Year Jamie Arnold on the mound for Florida State, who went 11-3 with a 2.98 ERA last season.

Rintaro Sasaki, Stanford -1.5 vs Cal State Fullerton

The Stanford Cardinal are favored to cover the run line at 1.5 runs for Friday night’s game against the Cal State Fullerton Titans. Back Stanford’s -220 legal sports betting odds against a Titans squad coming off their worst season ever.

Stanford vs Cal State Fullerton Baseball Betting Odds

That wasn’t an exaggeration; Fullerton is coming off their worst season in the program’s 50-year history after a 16-38 record in 2024. There are some promising newcomers for the Titans, but their poor pitching will be an issue against a loaded Stanford lineup on Friday night.

Speaking of newcomers, Stanford has the best freshman in the country in Rintaro Sasaki. Sasaki is the preseason National Freshman of the Year and ranked as the No. 15 first baseman in the sport before even seeing his first college pitch in America.

The Japanese phenom set the country’s high school home run record with 140 career home runs during his time at Hanamaki Higashi high school. His college debut is a must-watch, and a must-bet at legal California sportsbooks to lead the Cardinal to victory at -220 odds.
