LSU baseball named host for NCAA Tournament Regional
LSU baseball will host a Regional in Baton Rouge for the 2025 NCAA Tournament.
The Tigers are among 16 teams hosting regionals in the field but must wait to find out if they rank among the top-eight teams. The NCAA makes that announcement on Monday, which will determine if LSU will host a Super Regional.
Three teams will head to Baton Rouge for the four-team, double-elimination round, which runs from May 30 through June 2. The other teams will be announced on Monday as well. The Regional winner will advance to the Super Regionals from June 6-8 and have a chance to make the College World Series in Omaha.
LSU head coach Jay Johnson made his case last week as to why his team earned a top eight seed. The Tigers finished third in SEC regular season standings with a 19-11 record then fell to Ole Miss in the conference tournament semifinals.

Arizona Diamondbacks at Detroit Tigers odds, picks and predictions
The Arizona Diamondbacks (51-55) and Detroit Tigers (61-46) begin a 3-game series Monday. First pitch from Comerica Park in Detroit is set for 6:40 p.m. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's MLB odds around the Diamondbacks vs. Tigers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets. Season series: First meeting; Tigers won 2 of 3 last season The Diamondbacks opened their 9-game road trip with a rough series loss in Pittsburgh, managing just 1 run total across the 3-game set against the Pirates. They won the opener 1-0, but were shut out 2-0 Saturday and 6-0 Sunday. Arizona lost the finale as +134 underdogs as the Under (7.5) cashed. The Tigers ended their 6-game skid Sunday with a 10-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays as -113 home favorites as the Over (8.5) cashed. Starter Jack Flaherty delivered 6 shutout innings with 7 strikeouts and 2B Gleyber Torres powered the offense, going 2-for-4 with a home run and 4 RBIs. Diamondbacks at Tigers projected starters LHP Eduardo Rodriguez vs. RHP Troy Melton Rodriguez (3-6, 5.50 ERA) is making his 18th start. He has a 1.65 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 9.7 K/9 through 86 2/3 innings. Melton (0-1, 10.80 ERA) is making his second career start. The 24-year-old fourth-round draft pick (2022) was called up on July 21 Win your fantasy baseball league with For decades, BHQ has been helping players just like you win!

Diamondbacks at Tigers odds Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 12:04 a.m. ET. Diamondbacks at Tigers picks and predictions Diamondbacks 7, Tigers 5 Moneyline BET DIAMONDBACKS (+110). The Diamondbacks are in a favorable spot to take Monday's series opener in Detroit. Arizona sends Rodriguez to the mound, who's been solid on the road, allowing just 5 earned runs over his last 3 road starts (14 2/3 IP). He's coming off a strong outing, holding Houston scoreless through 6 1/3 innings. On the other side, Detroit rookie Melton makes his second career start—and first at Comerica Park—after giving up 6 earned runs in 5 innings in his debut. That home crowd pressure won't make things easier. The Tigers have dropped 7 of their last 10 games at home and enter the week struggling at the plate, hitting an MLB-worst .197 over the last 15 days. While Detroit looked better on Sunday, it's tough to trust this offense to stay hot. At plus odds, the value lies with Arizona to grab the series opener on the road. Run line/Against the spread PASS. I'm going to keep my wager to the run line. Over/Under BET OVER 9 (+100). The Over has hit in 7 of the last 8 games between the Tigers and Diamondbacks, and recent trends support more scoring Monday. The Over is 3-2-1 in Detroit's last 6 games and has cashed in 4 of Rodriguez's last 6 starts. Expect another high-scoring affair in this series opener. Play our free daily Pick'em Challenge and win!

ESPN names Ohio State as a college basketball team that could 'make a jump' this season
We are all getting ready for the start of the college football season now just a little over a month away, but the college basketball season won't be too far behind. In fact, we're now within 100 days of the Ohio State basketball season, and ESPN took a big look at previewing hoops for 2025-2026 by looking at many different angles and storylines. One of the things Myron Metcalf and Jeff Borzello touched on was ten teams that "could make a jump" this coming season. And, if you are an Ohio State fan, then you have to like what the ESPN duo things of the Buckeyes this season because they were named as one of those ten teams. OSU was able to retain some key pieces of its core group, but outside of that, there's been a major overhaul of the guys suiting up in the scarlet and gray this season. The mix of old and new will have to come together for the Buckeyes to get back to the NCAA Tournament, but there's good reason to believe that it could happen. Here's what Borzello says about Ohio State this winter: "The Buckeyes showed flashes of their potential last season but couldn't quite string together a consistent run of form. With a terrific trio back in Bruce Thornton, Devin Royal and John Mobley Jr. -- plus the additions of Christoph Tilly and Brandon Noel up front -- Jake Diebler's team should find itself in the NCAA tournament." It sure seems like Ohio State hasn't had a shortage of talent over the last few years, but getting the team to come together and play as a team has been an issue that seems to be a problem in today's day and age of the transfer portal and name, image and likeness. Here's to hoping ESPN is right and that the Buckeyes make it back to meaningful games late and on into the postseason this basketball season.
