The lone unbeaten team in the College World Series hopes to keep their winning streak alive as Ole Miss takes on Arkansas tonight at 7:00 p.m. EST.

After clobbering Arkansas 13-5 a couple of days ago, Mississippi would advance to the championship round for the first time in school history with a victory, while the Razorbacks hope to force a winner-take-all matchup on Thursday.

This is the fifth time these teams have met this season, as they've split the series thus far. Does value lie with the Rebels to end Arkansas' season or will the Razorbacks stave of elimination?

Arkansas vs Ole Miss Prediction and Pick

Ole Miss is destroying teams behind perhaps the best pitching staff in the country. They've allowed just six runs total in their last four games, and in June the Rebels have outscored their opponents by a combined score of 64-17.

That's an incredible stretch for a team that barely made the postseason, and they'll have their full cabal of bullpen arms available tonight.

Arkansas' pitching staff has performed well too, the Rebels' 13-run game notwithstanding, as they've allowed only 10 runs total in their previous five games otherwise.

The Razorbacks have an elite defense spearheaded by second baseman Robert Moore, but overall they struggled down the stretch. Arkansas lost four consecutive games entering the postseason and just played yesterday, so it won't be as rested as the flaming-hot Rebels.

At -125, the value on Ole Miss is too good to pass up. They're steamrolling opponents and with a rest advantage, I think the Rebels make the College World Series championship round for the first time in school history tonight.

Pick: Ole Miss (-125)
