Current Favorites
Arkansas Razorbacks: The Arkansas Razorbacks attacked the transfer portal to bolster their rotation, which has paid off in a big way. Arkansas went 43-13 this season, which earned them the #3 national seed. A big reason for their success was their pitching staff, which is ranked inside the top five in WHIP, xFIP, SIERA, and xERA. Not to mention, their offense is also fifth in the country in wRC+. All things considered, the Razorbacks drew a favorable field for their regional, as they'll open with a game against North Dakota State.
LSU Tigers: While the Tigers could not repeat as champions in 2024, they entered this season with another loaded roster. LSU went into the transfer portal to grab infielder Daniel Dickerson and Anthony Eyanson, the team's Saturday starter. The Tigers also feature a mix of highly touted freshmen and returning stars, including Steven Milam, Jared Jones, Kade Anderson, Michael Braswell, and Chase Shores. With that group, LSU is 43-14 on the year and will be the 6th national seed in the regionals.
Vanderbilt Commodores: Winning the College World Series is the greatest accomplishment in college baseball, and the second is winning the SEC Tournament, which Vanderbilt did this season. After becoming tournament champions, the Commodores earned the #1 overall seed and will be playing in a regional with Louisville, ETSU, and Wright State.

Bullpen Depth or Bust: Why Middle Relief Wins the College World Series
Every team that makes the College World Series is loaded with talent. Because of this, bettors need a way to separate the true contenders from the teams that relied on that sheer talent all season. One of the best ways to do that is by looking at each team’s bullpen depth and versatility. Between the tight schedule, high-leverage situations, and double elimination format, teams can’t just rely on two solid starters and a closer; they also need a few reliable middle relievers to survive the gauntlet that is Omaha.
College coaches need to constantly adjust their pitching strategy, and having bullpens that can minimize damage during the middle innings or keep the team afloat if a starter struggles makes the coach's job a lot easier. The sharp bettors can identify these teams over the course of the season, allowing them to get the best number possible in the futures market.
Some good examples of champions with deep bullpens include Tennessee in 2024, Ole Miss in 2022, and Oregon State in 2018. Each team had relievers who could handle pressure, work multiple innings if needed, and most importantly, throw strikes consistently. In a sport where offensive numbers tend to dictate much of the market, identifying teams that can attack these lineups in Omaha may help secure value.
