In the last couple of seasons, bettors have been given more and more options on where to bet on college baseball. DraftKings, Caesars, BetFred, and more all have lines available. Be sure to shop around because lines can vary in the hours leading up to first pitch.

College Baseball Best Bets Today – May 7, 2023

LSU vs. Auburn Pick: LSU Moneyline | -195 at DraftKings

2 p.m. ET

LSU is the best team in the country at 37-9 and 16-6 in the gauntlet that is the SEC baseball schedule. The Bayou Bengals are coming off a loss to Auburn on Saturday which snapped an eight-game SEC winning streak, and are looking to avoid their first series loss of the season on Sunday.

Fortunately for the Tigers, they have the best hitter in the country in Dylan Crews. The LSU outfielder is batting .480 on the season with an absolutely silly .626 on-base percentage. He also hits for power, with 13 home runs and 53 RBIs on the season.

The price is steep, but Crews and LSU are not about to drop their first series of the year.

Arkansas vs. Mississippi State Pick: Arkansas Moneyline | -150 at DraftKings

2 p.m. ET

Mississippi State is currently in a spiral toward the bottom of the SEC standings. At 6-17 in the conference, the Bulldogs are only a half-game ahead of rival Ole Miss for last place in the SEC West. The Bulldogs have also lost five straight, including a 14-2 loss in the second game of the series on Saturday.

Arkansas is just 5-7 on the road this year, but the Razorbacks have won five straight in the SEC and have a great opportunity to pick up a sweep. With the Bulldogs giving up 14 runs Saturday, their pitching is already in rough shape heading into the series finale. Expect the Razorbacks to roll.

California vs. UCLA Pick: UCLA Moneyline | -155 at DraftKings

3 p.m. ET

UCLA has had an incredibly disappointing Pac-12 season so far. The Bruins are sitting a game under .500 in conference play at 10-11, and have dropped the first two games of a home series against a Cal team that was just 6-15 in the Pac-12 before making the trip to Los Angeles.

The Bruins desperately need to avoid a sweep and their fifth straight loss, and I see them doing so Sunday afternoon.

Cal has given up eight runs or more in each of its last three series finales, so expect the Bruins’ bats to wake up and salvage a game in the series.
