Norman Regional Odds, Predictions: NCAA Baseball Tournament Picks for Oklahoma, Duke, UConn & More

Norman Regional Odds

	Oklahoma Sooners	+145
	Duke Blue Devils	+100
	UConn Huskies	+700
	Oral Roberts Golden Eagles	+2000

Oklahoma owned the Big 12 down the stretch, ending the season with 11 victories in 13 games.

The Sooners opened the season with victories over Tennessee and Nebraska in Arlington, both key elements in generating a top-15 RPI.

Sam Houston transfer Braden Davis leads the pitching staff with 107 strikeouts on 85 2/3 innings pitched.

Although these games will be played in Norman, look out for the Sooners if they advance and travel to Tallahassee for the Supers because they own a 14-5 road record this season.

The loss of Jonathan Santucci to injury combined with series losses to North Carolina and Georgia Tech may have turbo-charged Duke in the ACC Tournament. The Blue Devils dominated in Charlotte, winning four straight to capture the conference tournament.

Santucci has been held out for a few weeks with a rib injury but expects to be back and available in Norman.

UConn and Oral Roberts may drum up some memories saying that these teams can compete for the Norman Regional.

The Huskies are making their 25th Regional appearance after winning the College World Series five times in program history.

Oral Roberts had a magical run to Omaha a season ago, but the Golden Eagles now own an RPI near dead last in Division I. Nothing in the road record, strength of schedule or recent analytics suggest either team can compete with top seeds in this Regional.

No matter which combination is projected, the Blue Devils are favored from -130 to -170 when Santucci, Ryan Higgins, Andrew Healy and Kyle Johnson start.

The Sooners being underdogs in their own Regional is not a missed price by oddsmakers with Duke's probability to take the group at 57%. Look to take the Blue Devils through -130 in Regional betting.

Pick: Duke -110 or Better
