2023 College World Series odds: Eight teams favored over Texas to win the title
Texas has a chance to advance to the College World Series when they visit the 8th seeded Stanford at Klein Field from Saturday to possibly Monday. The team is coming off of a decisive win vs. Miami, which saw them trail 3-0 at one point before eventually routing the Hurricanes 10-6.
