2024 College World Series odds, lines: Expert reveals best bet, longshot play, team to avoid

The 2024 College World Series is set as eight teams -- four from the SEC and four from the ACC -- have booked their trip to Omaha. The latest 2024 College World Series odds list Tennessee as the +290 favorites to win it all (risk $100 to win $290), followed closely by Texas A&M at +330. Play begins Friday afternoon.

Before making any 2024 CWS futures bets, be sure to see what handicapper Eric Cohen has to say. 

A former Phoenix sports radio host and TV analyst, Eric joined SportsLine in 2022 and quickly became a fixture on the "Early Edge," the popular daily betting show that airs at 10 a.m. ET on SportsLine's YouTube page. Specializing in college sports, EC went 39-23 ATS (+13.65 units) in the 2023 college football season. Now he's turning his attention to the 2024 College World Series and he's revealed his best bets. 

One thing we can tell you: He's fading the No. 1 overall seed and favored Tennessee Vols, saying he's not willing to pay the premium on a team without much of a track record in Omaha.

"The pitching isn't as dominant as it was over the last several years, as evidenced by No. 4 seed Evansville scoring 16 runs in the first two games of their Super Regional series. I predict that Tennessee won't win more than one game against ACC foes Florida State, North Carolina and Virginia."

Cohen has locked in his best bet and a longshot to target, saying this team is "being disrespected by the oddsmakers." You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any CWS picks!
