College World Series favorites
North Carolina Tar Heels (56% probability)
The North Carolina Tar Heels made light work of the West Virginia Mountaineers in the semifinals to reach this point for the third time, and first since 2007.
UNC doesn't lack for star power, with Jake Schaffner, Ryan Lynch, and Jason DeCaro all on the roster. That offense put up six runs in Game 2, and the bats will look to stay hot tonight.
Oklahoma Sooners (45% probability)
The Oklahoma Sooners rolled over the Georgia Bulldogs to get here for the fourth time in program history
The Sooners' offense cooled off in Game 2, and they'll need to heat back up to pull off the upset tonight.
