he culmination of the college baseball season has arrived as eight teams will battle in Omaha in the 2026 Men’s College World Series. Fanatics Sportsbook has Georgia listed as the favorite to win the tournament, as the Bulldogs own a +250 price. Troy is the biggest longshot as it has odds of +3500.

Here are the current odds at Fanatics:

  • Georgia (+250)
  • North Carolina (+275)
  • Texas (+300)
  • West Virginia (+700)
  • Ole Miss (+800)
  • Alabama (+1400)
  • Oklahoma (+1600)
  • Troy (+3500)

Georgia (+250)
The Bulldogs mashed their way to Omaha, most recently sweeping Mississippi State. Georgia led the country in home runs this season, with catcher Daniel Jackson providing a good chunk of that damage. Jackson, a likely early-round pick in this July’s MLB Draft, belted 31 home runs this season.

It will be interesting to see if Georgia can keep its power numbers high in Omaha, as it is traditionally difficult to hit home runs at the cavernous Charles Schwab Field Omaha.

While Georgia is the favorite to win the whole tournament, it is a slight underdog for its game on Saturday against Texas, as the Longhorns are -135 at Fanatics to win that contest.

North Carolina (+275)
Pitching will need to be on point for the Tar Heels in Omaha if they hope to claim the crown. While the Tar Heels gave up nine runs in the opening game of the Super Regional, they allowed only three runs over the next two games to advance to the College World Series. Jason DeCaro was the star on the mound for UNC, throwing a complete game shutout with eight strikeouts in Game 2, while allowing just two hits.

UNC opens with Ole Miss, and the Tar Heels are -175 favorites.

Texas (+300)
A trip to Omaha is old hat for Texas, as the Longhorns are making their 39th appearance in the College World Series. No other program has made more than 25 appearances.

Texas’ top player is outfielder Aiden Robbins, who smashed a leadoff homer in the second game of the Super Regionals.

West Virginia (+700)
The Mountaineers are led by sophomore Gavin Kelly, who in May was ranked as the No. 1 prospect for the 2027 MLB Draft by Baseball America. Kelly can play most any position, as WVU uses him at catcher, second base, and the outfield.

West Virginia opens with Troy on Friday and the Mountaineers are -210 favorites.

Ole Miss (+800)
Ole Miss will rely on its big bats in Omaha, as Brayden Randle is hitting .471 in the postseason, and Hayden Federico is ripping at a .474 average in the playoffs. Pitcher Cade Townsend is the Rebels’ top prospect and is well-rested as he wasn’t used in the Super Regional against Auburn.

Alabama (+1400)
Alabama is riding a euphoric wave as it is playing in its first College World Series since 1999. The Crimson Tide swept St. John’s in the Tuscaloosa Super Regional.

Alabama is led by shortstop Justin Lebron, who drove in 48 runs in 59 games played this season. Lebron is a likely top 15 pick in this year’s MLB Draft.

Alabama will meet Oklahoma on Saturday, and the current line at Fanatics for this game is a virtual pick ‘em.

Oklahoma (+1600)
The Sooners were not expected to be here, but they stunned the college baseball world this past week by sweeping Big 12 champion Kansas.

Game 2 of the Super Regional wasn’t even close, as Oklahoma ripped the Jayhawks, 13-2.

Brendan Brock has been a driving force for the Sooners, as he went 4-for-6 in the Super Regionals.

Troy (+3500)
The odds are literally stacked against Troy, as their futures number at Fanatics is over double that of Oklahoma. This is the first time in program history that Troy has reached the College World Series.

The Trojans do not have one top 100 prospect on their roster.

If they are to pull off some upsets in Omaha, catcher Jimmy Janicki will surely be a focal point as he has 19 homers and 85 RBI on the season.
