Virginia vs Oregon State College Baseball Betting Preview
It was smooth sailing for the No. 7 Oregon State Beavers in their opening week of play. In their four games at the College Baseball Classic, they outscored their opponents, 48-9.
Now, they are set to kick off another tournament in the Round Rock Classic with much better competition, and their first opponent is the No. 2 Virginia Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers' season did not start well, as they lost their season opener to Michigan. Starter Jay Woolfolk was solid, allowing two runs on six hits in four-plus innings of work, but the offense didn't wake up until late.
With ace Evan Blanco still sidelined, Woolfolk is set to get the ball again, and he's in for a much stiffer test than his first outing. Woolfolk can't be trusted against a lineup like the Beavers. He's still transitioning to the rotation after holding a 6.44 FIP over 31 appearances last season.
On the other side of this matchup, Oregon State will hand the ball to its ace, Nelson Keljo.
Keljo started his 2025 campaign off strong, throwing four hitless innings. While he walked five batters, walks haven't been much of a concern for him over the last two seasons.
So, while the Cavaliers' lineup is daunting, they're lacking on the mound against a lineup that's just as powerful. Back the Beavers to win this one.
Pick: Oregon State ML -130
