As the NCAA baseball season approaches the halfway point, the SEC dominates the NCAA rankings, with 10 teams in the top 25. That makes the competition for the SEC title that much more competitive.
Let’s take a look at the odds for some of the top favorites to win the SEC, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
SEC Conference Winner Odds
Texas/Arkansas tied: +150
We’ll start with Texas (29-5) because they just took Arkansas’ No. 1 spot in the nation. Coming off of a series win where they took two of three from Kentucky with the one loss coming in the 15th inning off a throwing error. They are 12-3 in their last 15 games including a sweep against Georgia and a series win against LSU (ranked No.2 at the time).
Meanwhile the Razorbacks (32-5, No. 2) are coming off a series loss on the road against Georgia (32-6, No. 5). Both losses were one-run games with one of them being in the 12th. inning. They are still one of the best teams in all of college it’s just baseball is an unpredictable sport where anything can happen so they drop their No. 1 spot to Texas.
Tennessee +250
The defending College World Series & SEC champs are looking to go back-to-back where they are still in contention this year. The Vols are coming off a series win against Ole Miss where they scored 3 runs in the 9th of the final game to win the series against Rebels.
Georgia +700
As mentioned earlier, the Bulldogs are coming off a series loss from Arkansas, as well as getting swept earlier this month against Texas. But Georgia’s offense packs a punch as they are averaging 9.6 runs per game and rank 2nd in college baseball in SLG PCT (.600).
Having that type of offense is something opposing SEC pitchers would have nightmares about.
LSU +1100
The Tigers (31-6, No. 9) are coming off being swept at Auburn. Although, DraftKings still has them as the better team to win the SEC. They’re also ranked 8th in ERA (3.51) and 7th in Hits Allowed per Nine Innings (7.14).
Rest of SEC Odds:
- Auburn +7500
- Ole Miss +7500
- Alabama +20000
- Vanderbilt +20000
- Texas A&M +40000
- Oklahoma +40000
- Kentucky +50000
- Florida +100000
- South Carolina +100000
- Missouri +100000
