Kentucky Baseball's Odds to Win the College World Series

Kentucky was only a couple of wins away from winning the College World Series in 2024. What are the chances they actually do it in 2025? I’m so glad you asked.

The Bat Cats do not have the same momentum entering the postseason as they did a year ago. Kentucky followed up a Regional Championship campaign by only dropping one mid-week game and going 22-8 in SEC play. It gave Kentucky a national seed in the NCAA Tournament, which meant home-field advantage in the Super Regional.

Kentucky parlayed regular-season wins into postseason success. That home-field advantage paid dividends in the Super Regional sweep of Oregon State. Unfortunately, they won’t have that home-field advantage at Kentucky Proud Park on the road to the College World Series in 2025.

Despite a few late bid-stealers, the Bat Cats were on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble. The Wildcats secured a No. 3 seed in the Clemson Regional. They will open NCAA Tournament play on Friday against West Virginia.

According to our friends at FanDuel, Kentucky is +320 to win the Clemson Regional. If you prefer making a wager at a bigger price, I’ve got good news for you. Kentucky is +10,000 to keep that train rolling and win the College World Series.

Kentucky has been on the wrong side of close games all year. Maybe now the ball starts finally bouncing their way? Their march to the College World Series begins Friday at Noon on ESPNU.
