Tennessee baseball odds to win Super Regional and College World Series
Tennessee baseball earned the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament after winning the regular season SEC Championship and SEC Tournament. The Vols will face the hard-hitting Evansville Aces, who won the Greenville Regional and beat East Carolina for a spot in the Knoxville Super Regional.
The Vols swept the Knoxville Regional, beating Northern Kentucky, Indiana, and Southern Miss. Tennessee is 53-11 on the year and added two SEC trophies to its trophy case after winning the regular-season SEC Championship and SEC Tournament.
Evansville enters the Supers with a 38-24 regular season record and a 17-10 conference record. The Aces won the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament, which earned their spot in the NCAA Tournament. The Aces opened the Greenville Regional by defeating the hosts, ECU. They followed that win up with a win against VCU before defeating ECU again in a winner-take-all game on June 3.
The Aces shouldn't be underestimated when it comes to both teams taking the field on Friday, but Vegas still gives the Vols a strong chance to get out of the Knoxville Super Regional. Tennessee has -800 odds to win the super regional, with Evansville having +480 odds to get out of Knoxville, according to Fanduel.
Tennessee's odds of winning the super regional and getting to Omaha are the highest of any team still remaining. Texas A&M has the second-highest odds, at -390, to secure their spot in Omaha.
The Vols are also the favorites to win the College World Series with +270 odds. Texas A&M has the second-best odds at +340, with North Carolina and Kentucky sharing the third-highest odds to win it all at +900 odds.
