With a white-hot 31-2 start, including a perfect 23-0 record at home in Knoxville, the Tennessee Volunteers are the favorites to win the 2022 College World Series at the midpoint of the season according to bookmakers.
The Vols are 13-1 against Quad 1 opponents, which they’ll continue to see plenty of in the deep Southeastern Conference. A shocking mid-week loss to RPI No. 96 Tennessee Tech on Tuesday might have hurt the Vols in the eyes of the power rankings, but certainly not bettors. Their weekend rotation of freshman Chase Burns, sophomore Chase Dollander, and freshman Drew Beam is borderline absurd, with the Sunday starter Beam holding a 1.14 ERA and a 7-0 record in eight starts.
Following the Vols are the Oregon State Beavers, who are 25-7 heading into a non-conference weekend with the Dirtbags of Long Beach State. OSU is led offensively by centerfielder Jacob Melton, who has a 1.136 OPS in 130 at-bats this season. Friday night starter Cooper Hjerpe has an outrageous 77 K’s in 47.2 innings pitched with a .86 WHIP so far in 2022.
Three of the next four teams off the board are in the SEC, as future league member Texas is followed by Arkansas, Vanderbilt, and LSU. The highest-rated ACC teams are a tie between Notre Dame and Virginia despite being ahead of the Pac-12 in league-wide RPI so far this season.
