See if oddsmakers were swayed by LSU's series loss to Auburn
The LSU baseball team lost two games in a row for the first time all season after falling to Auburn on both Saturday and Sunday, but the oddsmakers don’t seem to be concerned.
LSU entered the weekend as +400 favorites to win the 2023 College World Series, and the odds on the market still have the Tigers in front of the pack even after they suffered a run-rule defeat on Sunday.
The Tigers hold steady as +400 favorites, with Wake Forest coming in next at +800, whose odds improved slightly from last week (+900) as the only other team in the nation with odds below +1000.
South Carolina saw their odds go from +1000 to +1200 after being swept by Kentucky, with Florida (+1200), Tennessee (+1500), Arkansas (+1500) and Vanderbilt (+1800) all remaining the same as last week.
LSU’s pitching struggles reared their ugly head against Auburn, and while they’re still near the top of the SEC at 16-7, Arkansas and Vanderbilt are now tied for first at 17-7.
LSU will face Northwestern State next as they return to Alex Box Stadium on Tuesday and will also be at home over the weekend against Mississippi State in their second-to-last regular season SEC series.
