Tennessee baseball favorites win Game 1 of the College World Series

The Tennessee Volunteers were listed as betting favorites for the first game of the College World Series.

The Tennessee Volunteers secured their spot in the College World Series on Wednesday after defeating Florida State in a rematch. Texas A&M then secured the second and final spot after defeating Florida. The two teams will now face off in a best-of-three series starting Saturday, and the Volunteers are the early favorites.

According to DraftKings, Tennessee’s odds of winning the first game of the championship series are -154. The Volunteers have made it to the College World Series for the first time since 1951, when the Volunteers lost to Oklahoma. After going clean in the College World Series up to this point, they now have a chance to win their first-ever baseball championship in a three-game series in Omaha.

Tennessee and Texas A&M have only played each other once this season despite being in the same league, and the Volunteers came out on top. They played in the SEC Tournament, and the Volunteers won by a final score of 7-4. However, neither team lost a game in Omaha, so a worthy conclusion to the 2024 college baseball season is expected.

The game odds are updated regularly and are subject to change.
