Despite being one of the most historic countries in the sport, and even having a team in the MLB (Toronto Blue Jays), Canada has not have outstanding performances in the World Classic. However, it will endeavor to change that in this edition with the help of Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddy Freeman.
It made it quite clear in his first presentation, smashing and defeating Great Britain by a score of 8-18. Tyler O’Neil of the St. Louis Rams. The St. Louis Cardinals had a perfect game offensively, batting 4-4 and scoring 4 touchdowns.
Although it is difficult for them to get a positive result, Canada knows that this game is important for its aspirations to advance to the next round, even more so considering the level shown by the Mexican and Colombian teams in their first performances.
However, in order to achieve its objectives, it will have to be much more solid from the mound, as allowing 8 hits and 8 runs against the European team left much to be desired around them. Precisely that is what the 19-year-old,Mitch Bratt, will attempt to do, as he left an ERA. of 2.45 in 80.2 innings pitched in minor leagues (Class A) during 2022.
Starting pitcher: Mitch Bratt.
Betting on USA
- WBC Record: 1-1
- Best position: Champion (2017).
- Runline: [Por definir]
- Moneyline: [To be defined] [Por definir]
- Over/Under: To be defined [Por definir]
The USA began its participation in this tournament with a predicted 2-6 victory over Great Britain last Saturday, although it was not the performance expected from the big favorite and reigning World Classic champion.
Therefore, those doubts became even greater after last night against their Mexican counterparts, since it was a game in which its offense did not work in the best way and its starter did not perform well. Nick Martínez could only pitch 2.2 innings, in which he allowed 5 hits and 3 runs.
In addition to Martinez’s disappointing performance, the powerful American offense, led by Mike Trout, Mookie Betts, Paul Goldschmidt and company also looked very bad. So, it has a lot of room for improvement heading into this matchup.
The presence of Lance Lynn on the mound seems to be a guarantee for the USA, since the experienced 35-year-old pitcher is coming off a somewhat irregular 2022 season, in which he posted a 3.99 ERA. However, he is undoubtedly one of the best pitchers in the competition.
Starting pitcher: Lance Lynn.
JefeBet Prediction
Canada has a good potential to advance to the next round, but its current situation is not the best, since a young pitcher like Bratt, with no MLB experience, will have to face big hitters that are used to pressured situations, and at the highest level like those of the USA, who also know that they have to redeem themselves.
As if that weren’t enough, Lynn is also a threat to an offense that squeezed Great Britain’s pitching, but will now face a real challenge. Therefore, on this occasion, we expect the USA to show its best version and get back on track with a comfortable victory.
Prediction: USA Spread (CAN 3 – 9 USA).
