College World Series odds analysis

The LSU Tigers proved resilient — and a bit lucky — when they toppled the Arkansas Razorbacks 6-5 on Wednesday night to punch their ticket to the finals.

Arkansas took a 3-2 lead in the top of the eighth inning before LSU tied it in the bottom half. The Razorbacks again took the lead in the top of the ninth, leading 5-3 before LSU had its chance to even the score. Then this happened:

A tough few plays for Arkansas allowed LSU to tie the game and ultimately walk it off. The Tigers were the favorites to win the College World Series before the game, and they're the favorites afterward.

But let's not forget the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, who easily vanquished the Louisville Cardinals 11-3 earlier in the day.

Not only that, but the Chanticleers have won 26 consecutive games dating back to April 22.

LSU represents the best competition they'll have faced in that time, but that kind of run is unbelievable. And perhaps there's value in the +160 price tag.
