FSU baseball will face the Oregon State Beavers in the Corvallis Super Regionals beginning on Friday. It's a matchup between the No. 9 and No. 8 overall national seeds, so it's fair to expect some similarities.

Oregon State is incredibly similar to the Mississippi State team FSU swept in its regional. FanDuel had FSU as a slight underdog when the opening lines were released on Tuesday.

It's a pick'em game with FSU traveling across the country, which means FSU would be a bigger betting favorite if the games were in Tallahassee.
