Betting on Mexico

- Runline: +2.5

- Over/Under: 10
Mexico arrives with what may be the best team it has ever assembled for the World Baseball Classic. It will play in Arizona and will practically feel at home. It is said that Mexico is expected to beat the USA in soccer, but when you beat the USA in the sport it invented, it’s a big deal.
Mexico has already defeated the USA twice in the World Baseball Classic. The defeat that hurt the American team the most was in 2006 when, with Roger Clemens on the mound, Derek Jeter, Ken Griffey Jr, and company couldn’t beat the tricolor, who eliminated it.
For this occasion, Mexico comes with a strong team, with a pretty solid pitching led by Julio Urias and José Urquidy. The absence of Alejandro Kirk is important, but it has Randy Arozarena, Alex Verdugo, Joey Meneses, and Luis Urias as offensive weapons. It has been eleven years since Mexico advanced to the next round of it.
Starting Pitcher: Patrick Sandoval
Betting on USA
- WBC Lifetime Record: 28-16-12
- Best Position: Champion (2017)
- Runline: -2.5
- Moneyline: -105
- Over/Under: 10
According to several players who participated in the 2006 game, losing to Mexico still hurts. As the defending champion, Mexico is bringing one of the strongest teams to the WBC.
However, the USA team is also a force to be reckoned with, led by the legendary Mike Trout and boasting one of the best lineups assembled in the tournament.
Its strength is so impressive that it was able to compensate for the loss of Clayton Kershaw in the pitching department with Adam Wainwright, Lance Lynn, and Devin Williams. The offensive side is equally impressive, with an All-Star player at every position. The depth of its roster is truly remarkable.
The Phillies’ trio of Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber, and J.T. Realmuto are just a few of the weapons that Team USA has in its arsenal, as it prepares to take on Mexico at Chase Field. Mark DeRosa has put together a team that is expected to win, and anything less than a championship would be considered a failure.
Starting Pitcher: Nick Martinez
JefeBet Prediction
Mexico knows how to play against the USA, but after losing two out of three games in the WBC, the Stars and Stripes don’t want to add another loss against its biggest regional rival. Both teams are strong, but USA is in a position to become the champion. We believe that it will be a tough battle, but the United States will win by a narrow margin.
Prediction: Mexico 1-3 USA
