The odds are in for the Women’s College World Series between Texas and Oklahoma for all the marbles. The Sooners are the three-time defending champions, so naturally, they’re the favorite.

That’s despite Oklahoma coach Patty Gasso saying the Sooners might actually be the underdog against their rival this time. But FanDuel provided the line for Game 1 Wednesday and the odds for the national title overall.

For Game 1, Oklahoma is listed -125 on the money line while Texas is -102. This just goes to show how close the opening game could be.

For the title, Oklahoma is the favorite at -140 while Texas is +110 on the money line to win two of three games.

“We know each other very well,” Gasso said. “Kind of feel like we’re the underdogs this year. That’s okay. It’s good for us. We had to really fight our way through here. I’m proud of this group and how they did it.

“We’ve got some really good momentum. We know each other very well. I don’t know that there are a lot of secrets. It’s going to be an absolute battle.”

Oklahoma went 2-2 against Texas this year, including winning the Big 12 title over the Longhorns.

“I don’t think we’re trying to prove any point here,” Oklahoma pitcher Kelly Maxwell said. “This year has been hard. But we deserve to be here. I think just staying within us and knowing we have a God that serves us, and we’re going to go out here and give it our all.”

The Longhorns have yet to lose a game in the Women’s College World Series after previously beating Stanford by a score of 4-0 in the opening game and then taking care of business against Florida in a 10-0 run rule win on Saturday.

Texas softball is still in search of its first national championship in program history. This is the second appearances in the WCWS final after they previously lost to Oklahoma in 2022. Now they’ll have a chance to get their revenge beginning Wednesday.
