5* Will one of the big two win the CWS (Rice or Fullerton)? YES +122
3* Will a team from the ACC win the CWS? No -162
2* Oregon State to win the CWS +800
1* Rice to win the CWS +350
I can't stress this enough, but pitching rules in Omaha with timely hitting.
Pitching, pitching, pitching.
You need a DEEEEEP pitching staff to make it through this double elimination format. Every team can hit now, and solid D1 starters dont get it done anymore. You need a couple of dominant starters, a good bullpen, a deeeep staff.
Fullerton
Roermer/Gagnier (no better 1-2 punch in this CWS, other than OSU)
Rice
Degerman/St.Clair/Cox/Savery/Bell/Crow
Oregon State
Buck/Nickerson/Gunderson
These are your 3 teams with a legit chance. Problem with Fullerton is they have to make it out of a war of an ACC bracket. Oregon State and Rice seemed destined to meet each other, but stranger things have happened. Rice should be in the Finals here as I have my doubts about Oregon States hitting, but no doubts about Rices.
