No. 6-seed Arkansas looks to stave off elimination in Omaha for a second time when they face No. 13 UCLA in tonight's College World Series tilt.

Our UCLA vs. Arkansas prediction and odds expect the favorites to prevail thanks to a fresher and more well-rounded bullpen.

First pitch is set for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN) tonight from Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Neb., with our best sports betting sites listing the Razorbacks as sizable moneyline favorites.

🆚 Who will win UCLA vs. Arkansas?

Arkansas has already fended off elimination once in Omaha, dominating Murray State in the 0-1 game on Monday. The Razorbacks received a heroic effort from pitcher Gage Wood, who tossed the College World Series' third-ever no-hitter.

Wood struck out 19 batters in his complete-game effort, one that saved the team's other arms.

Meanwhile, UCLA has used 10 pitchers across two games. Arkansas boasts a better, more well-rested bullpen in addition to the experience and resiliency needed to win in Omaha. We'll side with the highest remaining national seed to stay alive in search of the school's first College World Series championship.

Neither Arkansas nor UCLA has realized its full offensive potential in Omaha thus far. The Razorbacks are averaging just two runs per game in the CWS, down from 8.6 from the current campaign, the nation's 14th-best tally. The Bruins have been better (5.5 runs per game), but they're still below the team's 8.1 mark (41st) during the season.

While Charles Schwab Field is a pitcher's park, neither offense relied too heavily on round-trippers during the regular season, so the struggles at the dish have been surprising. We'll recommend the Under at four stars of confidence from our best sports betting apps, with two elite pitching staffs on display tonight.
