2021 College World Series Odds: Which of Baseball's Powerhouses Will Emerge?
The 2021 College World Series is nearly upon us as we now know the eight teams that will chase a championship crown in Omaha beginning this weekend. With the action slated to get underway beginning June 19, it remains to be seen if we’re in store for more chaotic upsets like we saw in the super regional round, or if order will be restored by tournament favorites.
With the eight-team field set for Omaha, let’s take a look at the current 2021 College World Series odds, including game-by-game matchups, as well as futures odds on which team will be crowned this year’s champion of Division-1 college baseball.

Team | Odds |
---|---|
Vanderbilt | +280 |
Texas | +325 |
Tennessee | +350 |
Arizona | +600 |
Mississippi State | +650 |
Stanford | +800 |
Virginia | +1000 |
NC State | +1200 |
Obviously, NC State’s upset over favorite Arkansas was a shocker. At +180 odds, many experts believe the Razorbacks would be the last team standing, but the Wolfpack continued their late-season surge to pull the upset.
With Arkansas now out of the picture, Vanderbilt emerges at the College World Series favorite. Vandy is powered by the 1-2 punch of Kumar Rocker and Jack Leiter, which will be a tough duo to take down.
Behind Vanderbilt is Texas at +325. The Longhorns were +500 ahead of the super regional. Other mid-tier teams in the mix include Tennessee (+350), Arizona (+600) and Mississippi State (+650).
Meanwhile, Stanford (+800), Virginia (+1000), and NC State (+1200) begin play in Omaha as long shots.

2021 College World Series Picks and Predictions
It’s hard to look past Vanderbilt at this point given its outstanding starting pitching, but if you’re looking to play a team at longer odds, teams such as Arizona looked impressive in its super regional.
That being said, we like how things shape up for Tennessee. No doubt, Virginia is a quality opponent and has to be feeling good after surviving Dallas Baptist, but at 50-16, the Vols are simply the better team — one more with more upside, as they demonstrated in their sweep of LSU.
At +350 odds, there’s enough value in their to get a play out of us.
Either way, one thing is for sure — there is a heavy SEC presence among this year’s last teams standing.
