NCAA Baseball | Louisville, Kentucky among College World Series betting favorites – The Courier-Journal

As they prepare to host regionals this weekend, the Louisville and Kentucky baseball teams will begin the NCAA Tournament among the betting favorites to win the College World Series title.

U of L (47-10), which is the tournament’s No. 7 overall seed, has 15-2 odds, tied with LSU and Florida as the third favorites in the 64-team field, according to the Bovada.lv sportsbook.

Kentucky (39-20), which was thought to be in consideration for a national seed for much of season, is the co-eighth choice at 12-1.

Should they both advance past the regionals, U of L and UK would meet in a super-regional series at U of L next week.

No. 1 national seed Oregon State is the tournament favorite at 4-1, followed by No. 2 North Carolina at 5-1.
