Prediction: North Carolina Tar Heels VS Oklahoma Sooners 2025-06-01
The North Carolina Tar Heels, with their impressive 44-12 record, are looking to secure a spot in the super regional round for the second straight season. Meanwhile, the Oklahoma Sooners, with a 36-21 record, are trying to stay alive in the tournament.
The Sooners' ace pitcher, Kyson Witherspoon, had a disastrous outing against the Tar Heels earlier, giving up six unearned runs in the first inning and a season-high 10 hits. This doesn't bode well for Oklahoma, especially considering the Tar Heels' potent offense.
The odds are in favor of the Tar Heels, with DraftKings offering -2.5 points at a price of 1.8. BetMGM has the same spread, but with a slightly higher price of 1.87. The over/under is set at 12.0 or 12.5 across various bookmakers, with prices ranging from 1.87 to 1.95 for both the over and under.
Given the Tar Heels' dominant performance against the Sooners earlier, I'd say the best bet is on North Carolina to cover the spread. The Tar Heels' offense is too strong, and the Sooners' pitching has been suspect. Take North Carolina -2.5 at 1.8 on DraftKings for a solid bet.
But let's be real, folks, the Sooners are basically just trying to stay in the tournament at this point. The Tar Heels are the ones with the momentum and the better record. So, if you want to get fancy, you could take the Tar Heels straight up at 1.37 on DraftKings. But where's the fun in that?
