If baseball is America’s pastime, gambling isn’t far away. Not in 2025, anyway, when advertisements from betting services proliferate the commercials between innings and regional sports networks are named after those companies. The practice is, of course, largely discouraged at the collegiate level, which is still attempting to maintain a guise of amateurism.
That doesn’t stop the public from wagering on so-called amateurs, of course. And to that end, it’s easy to find odds on the favorite for the upcoming College World Series.
Whether you’re a bettor (or not) that uses metrics or the eye test, odds are Arkansas is the favorite.
