Omaha is buzzing, and the roar of the Tiger faithful is echoing through the streets! For the LSU Fighting Tigers, the road to the College World Series in 2025 has been a testament to grit, talent, and an unwavering belief in "The Skip" Jay Johnson's vision.
After a dominant regular season, navigating the gauntlet of the SEC, and battling through a thrilling Super Regional, these Tigers have earned their stripes and are back on college baseball's grandest stage. With a potent lineup led by sluggers like Jared Jones and the steady presence of seasoned veterans, alongside a pitching staff that has consistently delivered under pressure, LSU arrives in Omaha not just as participants, but as true contenders with the second-best odds (7/1), ready to etch another chapter in their storied history. The chase for the national championship begins now!
The Tigers are still favorites after they advanced to the College World Series with a dramatic, walk-off victory last night against rival Arkansas, but they aren't as big of a favorite as you might think.
Coastal Carolina rolls into this best-of-three set riding a 26-game winning streak. The Chanticleers have outscored NCAA Tournament opponents 64-25, so this is no "underdog."
Coastal started the season a 55/1 chance (tied for 22nd-best odds) to take home the second CWS title in school history. Here are the current odds for Game 1 and the series, via BetOnline.ag:
Game 1 (Saturday)
Coastal Carolina +125
LSU -160
Over/Under 8.5 runs
College World Series Championship
Coastal Carolina +155
