LSU
Being the favorite going into Omaha isn't always a great thing. As a matter of fact, more often than not the favorite doesn't win the national title. With that said, perhaps the LSU Tigers are the exception to that rule. The Tigers have the most balanced offensive lineup in this field, and can put a lot of pressure on opposing defenses with speedsters such as JaCoby Jones, Mark Laird and Andrew Stevenson leading the charge. Meanwhile, the Tigers have plenty of power with Katz and Bregman in charge, while the starting rotation is in good shape with Aaron Nola, Ryan Eades and Cody Glenn leading the way. Meanwhile, left-handed closer Chris Cotton is one of the best in the business. The Tigers played very well against Oklahoma and enter the CWS with a full head of steam.

Says we have the best offense and basically a tie for best pitching. We know we have the best defense.

I think our bullpen is underrated. MSU got the nod on bullpen depth, but I think we have one of the top pens in the CWS as well.

Damn straight we are the favorites.

Funny though. Our best hitter right now might be jacoby. He is on fricking fire.

Then when why start Nola when ucla has the worst batting out the field?

Btw, I know Nola is starting. So save it.

Never want to take a risk like that in the 1st game, and it sets him up for the first championship game.

Don't you want Nola to play as much as possible? The earlier he starts, the more potential off time he'll have to come back and throw again.

It's Omaha. Anything can happen so don't take unnecessary risks like this.

I know that's the premise. Hopefully we can get him 3 times comfortably
