The 2025 College World Series will begin tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. in Omaha, Nebraska. Eight teams will compete for NCAA Baseball’s national championship.
Last year’s Tennessee Volunteers champions were eliminated in the Super Regionals by the Arkansas Razorbacks, guaranteeing a new title holder this season.
Odds for betting on the CWS are available now, with lines for all four scheduled games. First up in the 2025 CWS is a double-elimination round matchup between the Arizona Wildcats and Coastal Carolina Chanticleers.
Arizona vs. Coastal Carolina (#13)
- Run Spread: Arizona +1.5 (-110), CC -1.5 (-120)
- Moneyline: Arizona +175, CC -240
- Over: 9.5 (-110)
- Under: 9.5 (-120)
The Chanticleers are projected to win their first matchup and deliver the Wildcats their first loss of the College World Series. Later tomorrow at 7:00 p.m., the Louisville Cardinals and Oregon State Beavers will play their first-round CWS matchup..
Louisville vs. Oregon State (#8)
- Run Spread: Louisville +1.5 (-145), Oregon State -1.5 (+110)
- Moneyline: Louisville +125, Oregon State -165
- Over: 10.0 (-110)
- Under: 10.0 (-120)
The Beavers hold a slim edge over the Cardinals in the odds to win, implying a closely contested game that could go down to the wire in the ninth inning. On Saturday at 2:00 p.m., the Murray State Racers and the UCLA Bruins will face off.
Murray State vs. UCLA (#15)
- Run Spread: Murray State +2.5 (-115), UCLA -2.5 (-115)
- Moneyline: Murray State +190, UCLA -265
- Over: 11.0 (-108)
- Under: 11.0 (-122)
The Bruins hold the most significant edge of the first four CWS games with an advantage of 2.5 runs in the spread.
Wrapping up Saturday’s action at 7:00 p.m. is an all-SEC matchup between the LSU Tigers and the Arkansas Razorbacks.
LSU (#6) vs. Arkansas (#3)
- Run Spread: LSU +1.5 (-115), Arkansas -1.5 (-115)
- Moneyline: LSU EVEN, Arkansas -130
- Over: 9.5 (-105)
- Under: 9.5 (-105)
The LSU Tigers won College Baseball’s National Championship in 2023, but were eliminated in the regionals in 2024. In 2025, LSU only trails Arkansas in the odds to win it all at most college baseball sportsbooks.
College World Series 2025
- Arkansas Razorbacks +180
- LSU Tigers +225
- Oregon State Beavers +600
- Coastal Carolina +650
- UCLA +850
- Arizona Wildcats +1400
- Louisville +1700
- Murray State +3500
Arkansas and LSU are only separated by 45 points in the moneyline odds to win the championship. Oregon State is rated third overall, but is coming in at 375 points below the Tigers.
Unfortunately, one of these SEC teams has to lose their first game of the CWS, so look for tomorrow’s loser to drop significantly in the updated College World Series futures that are produced afterwards.
