The No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs (52-12) and Oklahoma Sooners (39-22) clash in Omaha with a spot in the College World Series semifinals on the line. ESPN will broadcast the game at 7:00 PM ET on Monday, June 15, from Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska.

Continue reading for my Georgia vs Oklahoma predictions. I have also laid out the odds, statistical profiles, and a brief look at both teams’ paths to Omaha.

Georgia vs Oklahoma Predictions

Georgia opened the CWS as a co-favorite in College World Series odds with North Carolina. North Carolina booked its ticket to the semifinal yesterday, so the Tar Heels have surged ahead in odds. However, Georgia would even out the odds with a win over Oklahoma toight.

Georgia has an unstoppable offense led by Daniel Jackson. Jackson leads the Bulldogs in all three Triple Crown stats, clobbering 31 home runs with a .388 batting average and 86 RBI – more than one per game. He has a ridiculous .484 on-base percentage and an .820 slugging percentage that would not look out of place on Barry Bonds’ Baseball Reference page.

Oklahoma has a strong offense in its own right, but Georgia is operating on a much higher plane. During the season, Georgia amassed nearly 200 more hits than the Sooners and posted a slugging percentage 125 points higher.

As mentioned, both teams have strong offenses. Even as the “weaker” offense, Oklahoma poured in 7.2 runs per game with a sturdy .287/.391/.483 line as a team. Georgia, meanwhile, has averaged a ludicrous 10.3 runs per game with a team slugging percentage over .600. It might not be the 23-9 game between the Rockies and A’s, but lots of runs should be scored on Monday night.

Georgia vs Oklahoma Odds

Georgia is trading at 68¢ to knock off Oklahoma on Monday night (equivalent to -213 odds) at Kalshi. On the other side, the underdog Sooners are trading at 34¢ (+194 odds) to spring the upset.

Bettors are expecting a high-scoring game, with the over 14.5 runs trading at 44¢ (+127 odds). Traditional sportsbooks have the line at 12.5 runs, but runs could come in bunches tonight.

Georgia vs Oklahoma Statistical Profiles

The name of the game with the Bulldogs is runs. Georgia has averaged an absurd 10 runs per game across their 64 games, slugging 181 home runs (good for almost three per game). On the other side, Oklahoma has pitched in 218 fewer runs and less than half as many home runs.

Pitching-wise, the teams are quite similar. Georgia has a few more walks and strikeouts (in three extra games), but the ERAs and WHIPs are comparable.

UGA vs OKLA: Road to Omaha

Georgia Bulldogs

The Bulldogs cruised through the Athens Regional, beating LIU and Liberty (twice) to host its own Super Regional against Mississippi State. In the battle of Bulldogs, Georgia swept the series with a pair of one-run victories. Georgia handled perennial power Texas with a 7-1 win in its first game in Omaha.

Oklahoma Sooners

Oklahoma shocked Georgia Tech in the Atlanta Regional, rebounding after taking a loss to the Yellow Jackets in their first matchup. In Atlanta, Oklahoma beat The Citadel twice and beat Georgia Tech twice.

In the Lawrence Super Regional, Oklahoma hammered Kansas, winning games 8-1 and 13-2 to advance to Omaha. Oklahoma shut out Alabama in its opening-round win, beating the Tide 9-0 to advance to this game.

College World Series History

Georgia

This is Georgia’s seventh appearance in Omaha. Previously, the ‘Dawgs won it all in 1990 (beating Oklahoma State) and fell in the championship in 2008 (losing a battle of Bulldogs to Fresno State).

Oklahoma

Oklahoma is making its 12th trip to Omaha. Oklahoma last made the College World Series in 2022, finishing runner-up to Ole Miss. Oklahoma has won two national championships, winning in 1951 over Tennessee and 1994 over Georgia Tech.
