Oklahoma's Path to College World Series

Oklahoma was in the bottom half of the SEC standings in the regular season, sporting a 14-16 conference record. The Sooners were one-and-done in the SEC Tournament as well, losing to LSU in the first round. They then caught fire at the right time, winning the Atlanta Region by upsetting the No. 2-ranked team in the country, Georgia Tech, in back-to-back games. Oklahoma then beat No. 13-ranked Kansas in back-to-back games in the Super Regional to earn itself a spot in the College World Series.

Alabama's Path to College World Series

Alabama finished the regular season with an 18-12 record in SEC play, good for fourth in the conference. They were one-and-done in the SEC Tournament, losing to Florida, but then went 3-0 in the Tuscaloosa region, beating Alabama State, USC Upstate, and Oklahoma State. The Crimson Tide then beat St. John's in the Super Regional, earning themselves a spot in the College World Series.

Oklahoma vs. Alabama Prediction and Best Bet

Despite the difference in records, I'm going to back Oklahoma to win this game. The Sooners' offensive numbers are a lot more promising, sporting a team batting average of .289, while Alabama has a team batting average of .258, which ranks 254th in the country.

Cord Rager of Oklahoma may have a 5.20 ERA, but his 1.078 WHIP is a lot more promising heading into the CWS.

I'll back the Sooners as slight underdogs on Saturday.
