College Baseball World Series Odds

The College World Series is the annual championship where the top teams in NCAA baseball battle for the championship in a double-elimination tournament and best of three championship series. The top 64 Division I college baseball teams will compete for one of eight spots for the championship tournament.

While NCAA baseball odds aren’t overly abundant during the regular season, when it comes to offering odds on the NCAA College World Series, that’s a totally different story. While your retail sportsbooks in your area may not offer these odds, you can rely on the big online sportsbooks to offer a great selection of betting odds.

When it comes to betting on College World Series odds, the top two teams are competing in the premier event in NCAA baseball – so a great competition is guaranteed. There are rarely huge underdogs or favorites, and the odds usually are on the safe side overall.

When it comes to betting on the College World Series tournament, you will be able to find odds on each game during the playoffs and during the championship series as well. Since there are several betting options and outcomes for each game, it’s fairly common for sports bettors to place a couple of wagers on the College World Series Championship tournament.

The tournament-style and format resemble college basketball’s March Madness, with the seeding, brackets, and different stages in the competition. Regionals and Super Regionals will determine the final eight teams that compete in the College World Series.

The four stages of the College World Series are as follows:

Regionals

The first round of 64 teams seeds the teams into 16 double elimination brackets of four teams seeded one through four. A team will not be eliminated from the bracket until they lose two games.

Super Regionals

The 16 winners of the Regionals brackets are then split into eight pairings and will play a best of three series.

College World Series

The eight winners of the Super Regionals head to the College World Series in Omaha. They are then split into two double elimination brackets of four teams.

College World Series Finals

The winners of the two brackets face off in a best of three series to then crown the NCAA College Baseball Champion.

While the 2020 College World Series was unfortunately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2022 College World Series witnessed an epic showdown, with Ole Miss coming out on top after a fierce final against Oklahoma. This triumph marked the first time the Rebels have claimed the coveted Men’s College World Series title. And now, we find ourselves eagerly anticipating the ongoing 2023 edition, taking place in Omaha, Nebraska.

If you’re looking to bet on the 2023 NCAA College World Series, you’re in the right place as we have a comprehensive sports betting guide that will help you make the most of your baseball betting dollars this June!

How to Bet on the College World Series

It’s always great to practice betting on a sport in the regular season before you start gambling on the main tournament or finals at the end of the year. It can be difficult to familiarize yourself with 64 teams, so doing some brief research before placing your wagers will help you in the long run.

There are also different betting types available in baseball – and if you can’t find odds on the College Baseball regular season at your preferred sportsbook, betting on the MLB can be a fine alternative.

It’s recommended to familiarize yourself with the betting options available to prime yourself for betting on the College World Series.

All you have to do when betting the moneyline at the College World Series is to choose which team will win the game. It doesn’t get much more simple than that. There will be moneyline odds on all games in the tournament and finals, so you can place a moneyline wager on any games you like, or combine a few into a parlay wager.

College World Series Point Spreads

While point spreads or runlines as they’re called baseball are a little more complex, betting the point spreads during the College World Series aren’t as popular. Only the top online sportsbooks will have runline odds on the College World Series as many bookies overlook the option. Though, we don’t understand why – runlines allow for a slight margin of error when betting, and inexperienced college players are pretty unpredictable as it is, so it would be the best bet to make for any college sport.

When betting the point spreads on a College World Series game, there will be a favorite and an underdog, and the oddsmaker will release the lines showing what the projected spread will be.

If the spread is -2.5/+2.5 that means that the underdog will have to win the game or lose by less than 2 runs. If you pick the favorite, they will have to win by more than 3 runs.

College World Series Totals Betting

Betting on the totals are popular options when it comes to betting on the College World Series because some bettors simply can’t decide who will win the game, especially if they aren’t familiar with the teams playing, and shouldn’t be limited to those options.

For the totals, or over/under as it’s commonly called, you will need to decide if the total combined runs for both teams in a single game will be over or under the oddsmaker’s line. If the total is 9, you will need to decide if you think both teams will score more or less than that amount collectively.

If you chose the over, and the final score ends up being 7-1, you would lose your bet, and conversely, if the final score is 8-5, you’d win your bet.

College World Series Prop Betting

Prop bets or proposition bets are the more fun and unique bets associated with any given game in the College World Series. Props are unusual circumstances or happenings that don’t have anything to do with the outcome of the game.

While you may not find as many prop bets available as you’d find in the professional sports, you may be able to find some good ones during the Finals, depending on your sportsbook. You can bet on the first team to score if the game will go into extra innings, and specific player props like if a player will hit a home run or not.

College World Series Futures Betting

Futures are the most popular betting option when it comes to gambling on the College World Series, and for good reason. You can usually get some great value if you think you know who will win the tournament overall.

Odds to Win the 2023 College World Series

The odds to win the 2023 College World Series are now available.

The odds were last updated on June 7, 2023: 

College World Series 2023
Wake Forest	–
Florida	–
LSU	–
Stanford	–
South Carolina	–
Tennessee	–
Virginia	–
TCU	–
Texas	–
Oregon	–

Many sports bettors prefer to bet on a few different team futures, which allows you to place a much riskier wager on the team you believe will win the College World Series overall – far in advance of the series. College World Series Futures are released almost immediately after the previous season concludes, and are adjusted as necessary throughout the offseason based on how the team evolves over the season.

When you finally enter the College World Series Regionals, you will see that the College World Series odds have much less value than they did at the beginning of the season or even halfway through the season, because the outcome is much easier to predict as teams get eliminated. Once you get into the Super Regionals stage, you will see the pack leaders start to pull away from the rest.
