Venezuela has been one of the most dominant teams in this World Baseball Classic so far, and will be looking to seal a perfect group stage participation after winning its first three games. With qualification already in its hands, the Vinotinto team will have a good opportunity to relax and make some changes to its lineup.
The ninth team led by Omar López achieved its third consecutive win and secured its place in the next round against Nicaragua yesterday afternoon.The player had to work much harder than expected, but he was able to impose his quality on the mound and at the plate to end up winning 1-4.
Although yesterday it allowed many hits, the Venezuelan team has been solid in pitching, and it will try to keep it that way by sending Jesús Luzardo to the mound. He plays in the Major Leagues for the Miami Marlins and has had a very good performance in 2022, pitching 100.1 innings, in which he registered a 3.32 ERA..
Starting pitcher: Jesús Luzardo.
Betting on Israel
- WBC Record: 1-2
- Best position: 6th place (2017)
- Runline: [Por definir]
- Moneyline: [To be defined] [Por definir]
- Over/Under: To be defined [Por definir]
Israel knew very well that to get out of the group stage in this World Baseball Classic it would need almost a miracle, and although it debuted with a very good 1-3 victory over Nicaragua, it quickly received a reality check when it was defeated by a 0-10 knockout loss to Puerto Rico last Monday..
In this game against Puerto Rico, Israel could not even get a hit, thus becoming the first team to receive a No Hit No Run in the history of the World Baseball Classic. Moreover, although the team was much stronger last night, it could not avoid defeat against the Dominican Republic.
Israel’s big problem in this tournament has been its poor offense, which will have to improve considerably if the team wants to hurt the strong Venezuelan side.
Starting pitcher: Dean Kremer.
JefeBet Prediction
The difference between the two teams is very noticeable, and even if Venezuela makes some changes in its starting lineup, it would have the caliber required to make the Israeli pitching suffer.
Moreover, Luzardo’s presence on the mound is terrible news for Israel’s unproductive offense. Therefore, we expect Venezuela to dominate things once again and take a resounding victory on this game.
Prediction: Venezuela Runline (ISR 2 – 8 VEN).
