College Baseball National Championship Odds: CWS betting favorites entering regional weekend

The postseason is finally here in college baseball. Before regional weekend gets underway on Friday, BetMGM has updated its odds to win this year’s National Championship.

The official NCAA Tournament bracket looks like a fun one. On average, six regional hosts don’t make it out of the first weekend of the tournament. That means we’re likely to see some upsets over the coming days.

The action will get underway at 12 noon Eastern on Friday. Regional weekend is played in a double elimination format, with the winner advancing to Super Regionals the following weekend.

Here’s the latest odds to win the National Championship, according to BetMGM. We’re down to 64 teams with a fighting chance.
