The College World Series is down to the final 16 teams with odds available on the super regionals at the sports book.

Most of the top seeds still remain so the odds at the Internet sports book ought to be competitive as eight teams try and advance to the College World Series.

13 of the 16 top seeds managed to get through to the super regionals. In fact, there have been no shocks as all of the seeds leftover are either or number twos. The higher seeded team’s home field hosts the super regionals in a best-of-3. One of the favorites to win the title is Arizona State. They will host Arkansas in one of the eight super regional competitions. Arkansas might be in trouble, especially if Zack Cox is not healthy, since Arizona State was 34-3 at home this year.

Texas hosts TCU in another of the regions and this matchup ought to be great. TCU was 24-7 on the road this year, and they’ve great starting pitching. Texas has also great pitching plus they can hit home runs as they set a school-record with 79 this year. Florida hosts Miami and should do well since Miami had to use top pitcher Chris Hernandez on Tuesday. In addition they don’t have Eric Erickson at full strength. At home this year, Florida was 31-3.

Coastal Carolina will be trying to make their 1st trip to the College World Series. They’ll host South Carolina at the regional. This will likely be an interesting matchup to see if Coastal Carolina can take a step up in class. Coastal Carolina may very well be given trouble by South Carolina’s healthy offense.

Since Virginia went 33-5 this year at home, they are favored to advance when they host Oklahoma. They’ve got Danny Hultzen who is 10-1 this year and they’ve a quite healthy starting lineup. Oklahoma hit 93 home runs this year. They win with ability. The issue for the Sooners is that Virginia’s Davenport Lineup is not a home run hitting field. UCLA hosts Cal State Fullerton and it ought to be an interesting series. Fullerton was 18-6 on the road this season but UCLA has a dominant pitching staff that ought to be the difference.

The top series in the super regionals has Florida State hosting Vanderbilt. Vandy was only scarcely beaten out by Florida State for a seed.

Clemson and Alabama are # two seeds and one of them will be moving on with Clemson getting the home field advantage. These two teams can hit but don’t have strong pitching staffs so look for a number of runs to be won.

The Minnesota Twins are preferred in MLB wagering on Thursday when they host the Royals in the finale of a three-game series.

The Minnesota Twins shoot for their 7th consecutive win at home and a three-game sweep of the AL Central competitor Royals tonight in the series finale from Target Field.

The game in baseball wagering is supposed to feature Bruce Chen going for the Royals against Minnesota’s Scott Baker.

Scott Baker has fared fine at Target Field. He’s always pitched fine against the Royals irrespective of the location. Baker permitted 4 runs over 7 1-3 innings in a 5-4, 11-inning win at Oakland on Friday.

More often than not in their new home the Twins are preferred by MLB wagering probabilities. Target Field has been great to the Twins as so far the Twins have been only as great at their new lineup when they were in the Metrodome. Scott Baker is supposed to get the start on Thursday. He’s 5-4 on the season with a 4.52 ERA. He went 7 1/3 innings previous time out against Oakland and gave up 4 runs on 6 hits and had three strikeouts. He gave up only two runs and seven hits the previous time he pitched against Kansas City. Baker has been far better at home this year than on the road. His road ERA is 5.66 whereas his road ERA is 3.49 ERA.

Twins DH Jason Kubel is 4 for 7 with three RBIs in this series and rookie third baseman Danny Valencia is 4 for 8.

Chen is 2- on the season with a 2.95 ERA. He has been playing in place of the wounded Gil Meche and doing quite well. He’s 1- with 3.00 ERA in his two starts. Last time out he went 5 innings and permitted only two earned runs on 4 hits. The experienced left-hander has done 10 relief appearances to go with his lone career start against the Twins in 2004. He has a 5.75 ERA against Minnesota.

Through the years, Kansas City have not had loads of success against Minnesota vs the MLB wagering probabilities. Before this series started they had lost 15 of the previous 20 against the Twins. The teams played two series in April, one in Minnesota and one in Kansas City. Of the 6 matches, the Twins won 4. 5 of those 6 matches went over the total in MLB wagering.

In baseball wagering, the Royals have not been pretty great at home or on the road. Since their prices are higher on the road, they in fact have a little more value there. The Royals have lost 8 out of 11 overall and 4 consecutive on the road. It is hard to take The Kansas City Royals, in spite of their big prices, since they are below average in hitting and in pitching.

Minnesota continues to be pretty great at home and only .500 on the road. That would be great enough though to win the AL Central. The Twins pitching has been reliable, rating in the top 10 in the league, though they are around average in hitting.

The National League East is presented in Thursday MLB betting when the Phillies host the Florida Marlins in a game which can be viewed on the MLB Network.

It’s the last game of a seven-game homestand for the Philadelphia Phillies, and the finale of a 3-game series in baseball betting.

MLB betting odds prefer the Philadelphia Phillies in this game, mainly considering they are at home. The pitching matchup might end up favoring Florida. Anibal Sancehz is planned to go on Thursday for Florida. He is 5-3 for the season with a 3.18 ERA. Sanchez was moving along until his last start vs the Mets when he allowed 4 runs in five 2/3 innings. He’d won his 4 previous starts.

The Florida Marlins have held their own recently vs the Philadelphia Phillies in MLB betting. They had won 11 of the last 20 vs Philadelphia before this series began. They got two of 3 at Philadelphia earlier this season. The Philadelphia Phillies are one of those teams in baseball that can play just as nicely on the road as at home so they can be overestimated at home. Before this series began, the last five meetings between the two teams had gone below the total.

The Marlins have been up and down this season and it can be difficult to guess what they are going to do on a nightly basis. They certainly play better at home than on the road but it is not a substantial difference. The Florida Marlins are only average in hitting and in ERA. They have the opportunity to be great though with players like Hanley Ramirez hitting the ball and Josh Johnson pitching. Even Sanchez has shown the ability to be very great.

Philadelphia has been far better at home this season than for the road, but not by a lot. The Philadelphia Phillies have strangely struggled to score runs. They have a strong lineup but Jimmy Rollins has been out of the lineup for a lot of the season and his lack has damaged the Philadelphia Phillies. The Philadelphia Phillies have received good pitching as they are in the top five in the league. Jamie Moyer has been reliable for the most part this season, and it may be him gaining the start in this game.

The Phillies’ Roy Halladay pitched a perfect game a few weeks once more vs the Florida Marlins, throwing the 20th perfect game in the majors. Halladay already has a Cy Young Award and also six All-Star game choices to his credit. He threw just the eighth perfect game in the National League’s history, and just the second for the Phillies. He struck out 11 of the Marlins’ players and showed up the Marlins’ pitcher, Josh Johnson, along the way. Later Johnson stated that it was unreal how Halladay goes about his business. “No messing around, no joking around. He’s there for one reason.” That game went 1-0 for the Philadelphia Phillies.

Wednesday night’s game was delayed due to rain and is going to be compensated for on Monday, September 6, when the Philadelphia Phillies and the Florida Marlins play a double header.
