Several top seeds in the 2024 NCAA Baseball Tournament are on the brink of elimination, as one national seed has already been knocked out of the competition. On Saturday, Dallas Baptist pulled off a stunning 7-0 shutout victory over No. 13 Arizona, advancing them closer to a spot in the Super Regional.
Other national seeds facing the threat of elimination include Arkansas, East Carolina, Oklahoma, and UC Santa Barbara, all of whom suffered early defeats as regional hosts. To stay in the tournament, they will need to win two games on Sunday, forcing a tiebreaker scheduled for Monday.
On the other hand, the remaining national seeds are just one win away from securing their spot in the Super Regionals, intensifying the race for one of the eight coveted spots in the Men's College World Series held in Omaha, Nebraska.
FanDuel Sportsbook has released the odds for each elimination game in all 16 NCAA Tournament Regionals. Notable matchups include LSU facing Wofford, Mississippi State taking on St. John's, and No. 5 Arkansas squaring off against Southeast Missouri State.

It is an elimination game for each team, with one loss potentially ending their season and dreams of reaching the Men's College World Series. The pressure is high, and every team will be pushing their limits to keep their championship hopes alive.
