OMAHA, Neb. – Game 3 of the College World Series finals favors the LSU Tigers with -150 moneyline odds. Despite winning Game 2 of the College World Series by 20 runs, the Florida Gators are underdogs with +115 odds.

College World Series Finals Game 3 Betting Lines

Team:	Spread:	Moneyline:	Total:
LSU	-1.5 (+120)	-150	O9.5 (-105)
Florida	+1.5 (-160)	+115	U9.5 (-125)

Favoritism towards the LSU Tigers at legal college baseball betting sites could be based on the possibility that Paul Skenes takes the mound in a winner-take-all Game 3. However, Skenes has thrown 243 pitches across his last two outings.

Tigers head coach Jay Johnson didn’t tip his hand to the Gators coaching staff about Paul Skenes availability for the decisive game. When asked about Skenes following Sunday’s loss, Coach Johnson told the media that “We do a process to figure that out, which we will do, and that doesn’t take place until the day of the game. I mean you’re going on game eight in 10 days, so we have to be mindful of all that.”

Johnson finished by adding “We’ll see who’s available.” Skenes threw 120 pitches in a championship-clinching win against Wake Forest on Thursday.

Paul Skenes will likely emerge out of the bullpen in an emergency situation, but don’t expect the Tigers ace to throw over 50 pitches in the Championship final. Florida’s +110 moneyline odds in the winner-take-all College World Series Championship finale have value based on their offensive momentum established in Game 2.

Before Game 2, Jac Caglianone was 2-17 and Wyatt Langford was 3-16 across the Florida Gators first four College World Series games. The stars were a major part of the Gators MCWS record 24 runs total, with Caglianone going 3-6 with two homers and Langford going 5-5 with a homer and four runs scored.

The power-hitting duo combined for five extra-base hits and 11 runs batted in, with their resurgence also bringing value to the -105 odds for Game 3’s total to go over 9.5 runs.

Two-way star Jac Caglianone will take the mound for the Gators, with the LSU Tigers starter likely being Thatcher Hurd. Both teams will have their star closers- Brandon Neely for Florida, Riley Cooper for LSU -available for Game 3, so runs will need to come early for either team to cash their legal sports betting odds and win a national baseball championship.
