Prediction: USC Trojans VS Oregon St Beavers 2025-06-02
The stage is set for a thrilling matchup between the USC Trojans and the Oregon State Beavers, with a spot in the 2025 NCAA Tournament Super Regionals on the line. The Trojans, seeking their first Super Regional appearance since 2005, will have two opportunities to advance due to the double-elimination format. Meanwhile, the Beavers are looking to advance to the Super Regionals for the first time since 2015.
Oregon State is riding high after a record-setting double-header, where they bashed their way to a pair of prodigious victories, defeating No. 4 seed Saint Mary's 20-3 and No. 3 seed USC 14-1. The Beavers' Gavin Turley and Trent Caraway have been standout performers, with Turley becoming the school's career RBI leader and Caraway continuing his torrid late-season tear.
As for the odds, the Beavers are favored to win, with a moneyline price of 1.51 (DraftKings) and a spread of -1.5 (1.83). The over/under is set at 13.5, with both the over and under priced at 1.87.
Given the Beavers' recent form and their dominant performance in the double-header, I'm picking them to win this one. My best bet is Oregon State Beavers -1.5 (1.83), as I expect them to come out strong and take an early lead. The Trojans will need to bring their A-game if they want to stop the Beavers' momentum and advance to the Super Regionals.
So, if you're looking to place a bet, take the Beavers to win and cover the spread. And if you're feeling extra confident, throw in a few bucks on the over 13.5, as these two teams have shown they can put up some big numbers. Just remember, in the immortal words of the great philosopher, Dumb and Dumber's Lloyd Christmas, "So, you're telling me there's a chance?" Yes, there's a chance the Trojans can pull off the upset, but I'm not betting on it.
