The 2025 College World Series odds have shifted once again — this time, it’s the Arkansas Razorbacks who’ve jumped to the top of the board. The Hogs opened behind LSU, but dominant regional performances and sharp betting action have made them the new favorite at +195.
LSU is still lurking at +230, with big bats and plenty of postseason pedigree, but Arkansas’ deep rotation and recent form have fueled a market swing.

Why Is Arkansas Favored To Win The College World Series?
Arkansas has climbed to the top of the 2025 College World Series odds after a dominant postseason run. The Razorbacks tore through their Regional and Super Regional matchups without a loss, showcasing both power at the plate and poise on the mound.
Their pitching staff, led by ace righty Zach Root, has been one of the most efficient in the country, ranking top-10 in both strikeouts and ERA. Meanwhile, the lineup is deep and disciplined, featuring five regulars with a .300+ batting average heading into Omaha. With this balance and momentum, Arkansas enters the CWS as the team to beat.
LSU still sits close behind. The Tigers, now priced at +250, bring serious firepower into the tournament behind the bats of Jared Jones and Tommy White. They’ve been battle-tested through a tougher Regional slate and remain one of the most complete rosters in college baseball. But with Arkansas peaking at the right time, the oddsmakers have shifted their stance.

College World Series History
We didn't get quite the same firepower as LSU's Dylan Crews and Paul Skenes in 2024, but the Tennessee Volunteers still showed us why favorites can win in this tournament.
The Volts entered the 2024 tournament first in CWS odds and were slated as -210 favorites before the three-game final began. They beat Texas A&M in three games to become the latest College World Series champs:

What Is A Futures Bet On College World Series Odds?
When you visit your sportsbook of choice, you’ll see an option to bet on which team will win the College World Series. This kind of bet is a futures wager, which means you’re betting on events that will happen in time. You would see odds listed like this:
- Tennessee +375
- Vanderbilt +375
- Florida +1200
- Georgia +1200
- Mississippi State +1500
Unlike a moneyline bet, where there would be a clear favorite and underdog, the team with the lowest MLB World Series odds is the closest thing to a fave. In this case, it’s Tennessee and Vandy.
The lower teams on the oddsboard, though less likely to win, offer better value. If you were to bet $100 on Mississippi State and they won the College World Series, you’d get a payout of $1,600 – your original $100 is returned, along with your winnings of $1,500. On the other hand, the same bet amount on Tennessee would give you a payout of $475 – you get your $100 back, plus your loot of $375.
