What Are the Odds WVU Baseball Wins Clemson NCAA Regional?
WVU baseball fans are left in a state of confusion after West Virginia capped off an historic season with a significant decline in the final weeks. The Mountaineers won the program’s first outright Big 12 regular season title, but did so after being swept in their final series and then only won one game in conference tournament play.
But nothing that’s happened so far in 2025 matters now. All that matters is what WVU does in the postseason. And now that Steve Sabins’ team knows its competition in NCAA Regional play, what do oddsmakers think of their chances to win another regional?
FanDuel has West Virginia set at +210 as of Tuesday to come out of the Clemson Regional – the second best odds behind the host. As far as winning the whole thing and claiming the schools’ first College World Series national championship, FanDuel has WVU at +10000. DraftKings also has WVU at +10000 to win the national title.
Clemson is the No. 11 national seed and will host the regional that includes WVU, Kentucky and South Carolina Upstate. Clemson (44-16, 18-12 ACC) will start the regional against SC Upstate (36-23, 19-5 Big South), which won the Big South Tournament Championship. WVU (41-14, 19-9 Big 12) will open against Kentucky (29-24, 13-17 SEC).
WVU baseball has a rocky history against this regional field, being 2-11 all-time against Clemson and 2-12 all-time against Kentucky. WVU and SC Upstate have never met on the diamond before.
The winner of the Clemson Regional will play the winner of the Baton Rouge Regional, which includes No. 6 LSU, Little Rock, Dallas Baptist and Rhode Island.
The Mountaineers have made the NCAA Tournament for the third season in a row and the fifth time in the last eight seasons dating back to 2017. WVU advanced to its first Super Regional last season, falling to North Carolina. The 2017 NCAA Tournament was canceled due to COVID-19.
Under first-year head coach Steve Sabins, WVU baseball set a new program record for wins in a single season with a 41-14 record. Sabins’ Mountaineers also won the first outright Big 12 regular season title in program history with a 19-9 conference record.
Despite its stellar regular season, West Virginia struggled at the end of the year, losing six of its last games in the regular season and eight of its last 11. The Mountaineers then went 1-1 at the Big 12 Tournament in Globe Life Field, defeating Cincinnati before losing to eventual Big 12 champion Arizona in the semifinal round.
