Stillwater Regional Odds
 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | -140 |
 | Florida Gators | +225 |
 | Nebraska Cornhuskers | +400 |
 | Niagara Purple Eagles | +4500 |
Oklahoma State got on a heater to end the season, winning nine of its last 10 and capturing the Big 12 Tournament championship.
The Pokes have relied on a pitching staff that ranks 11th or better in ERA and strikeout-to-walk ratio. Starters Brian Holiday and Sam Garcia have both eclipsed 100 strikeouts, while Penn State transfer stopper Tommy Molsky averages nearly two strikeouts an inning.
The Cowboys lost only two home games during conference play this season.
Nebraska cemented its claim as the best team in the Big Ten with a conference tournament victory.
Brett Sears is the workhorse pitcher on the staff, collecting three straight quality starts to end the regular season. The biggest issue for the Cornhuskers has been a lack of offense, averaging the fewest runs per game of any team in Stillwater.
There may be no greater divide in college baseball conversation than the inclusion of Florida. The Gators finished with a 28-27 overall record with 13 SEC wins and the No. 1 strength of schedule.
Head coach Kevin O'Sullivan had plenty of holes to fill in the lineup and pitching staff after a run to the championship series a year ago.
The starting rotation has been populated with true freshmen, but the one constant has been the production of Jac Caglianone. The Sunday starter also managed to lead the team in runs, home runs, RBI and innings pitched.

The pitching numbers have been so horrific from a season-long perspective for Florida that the Gators should be underdogs of +150 in most games. Oklahoma State projects as a minimum -140 favorite with Garcia or Holiday on the mound against any other pitcher, including Nebraska's Sears.
The Pokes' true odds to take their own Regional sit at 56%, with a series price target of -130.
Pick: Oklahoma State -110 or Better
