Oral Roberts vs Oklahoma State Prediction & Pick

Although Oklahoma State is the home favorite in this matchup, don't count out the underdogs just yet. After all, Oral Roberts defeated Oklahoma State twice this season, outscoring the Cowboys 17-12 on aggregate. One of those games was an 8-5 victory at O'Brate Stadium exactly one month ago.

While the Cowboys have the better team on paper, it's hard to doubt a Golden Eagles squad that has won 18 consecutive games. Although the win streak wasn't made by beating up the toughest foes, both of Oral Roberts' wins over Oklahoma State — as well as a victory against Witchita State — came over that stretch.

I'm expecting a close battle that see Oral Roberts edge out the win.

Final Score Prediction: Oral Roberts: 7 | Oklahoma State: 6

Oral Roberts vs Oklahoma State Best Bet

Betting options are limited in the college baseball landscape, I'm taking Oral Roberts as the +1.5 underdog as the best bet. The Golden Eagles are soaring at the moment and have already proven that they can handle whatever the Cowboys have to dish out. Until it looks like the wheels are ready to fall off, Oral Roberts could shock some teams in this tournament.

Bet: Oral Roberts +1.5 (-114)
