Omaha Mavericks vs BYU Cougars

BYU enters as a clear favorite at 1.36 odds, implying roughly 74% probability of victory. Without stats or context, I'm leaning on the market's conviction—that's a strong price for a road team in college baseball, where home advantage typically matters. The Mavericks at 3.1 suggest bookmakers see them as significant underdogs despite playing at home, which is telling. I'm backing the Cougars, though the lack of concrete data keeps this from being a slam dunk.
