Prediction: Wake Forest Demon Deacons VS Cincinnati Bearcats 2025-05-30

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons are taking on the Cincinnati Bearcats in the Knoxville Regional, and I've got my eyes on this one. Wake Forest, the No. 2 seed, is looking to make some noise in the tournament, while Cincinnati is trying to pull off the upset as the No. 3 seed.

The Demon Deacons have had a bit of a rollercoaster season, but they've made it to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth straight year. They've got a strong record in the tournament, with a 52-35 overall record and three College World Series appearances. Not too shabby.

As for the Bearcats, they're looking to make a deep run in the tournament, but they'll have to get past Wake Forest first. The Demon Deacons are favored in this one, with odds ranging from 1.59 to 1.67 across different bookmakers. Cincinnati's odds are between 2.18 and 2.3.

My best bet for this game is Wake Forest on the moneyline. They've got the experience and the talent to take down the Bearcats, and I think they'll come out on top. The spread is set at 1.5, with Wake Forest as the favorite, and I think they'll cover it. The over/under is set at 12.5, but I'm not too confident in that one either way.

So, there you have it. Wake Forest is my pick to win this one, and I think they'll take it by a couple of runs. Don't @ me, Bearcats fans.

Best Bet: Wake Forest Demon Deacons on the moneyline (odds: 1.59-1.67)
