WBC Odds & Best Bets Today: Schedule, Picks for Tuesday

Team USA takes a day off but WBC play continues in Pools C and D on Tuesday. Read on for our WBC best bets on March 14.

Venezuela and Nicaragua will kick Tuesday’s action off in a battle between Pool D’s only undefeated team and the only winless team. Things should pick up after that with Colombia looking to bounce back against Canada after a loss to Great Britain.

The night games provide us with Israel vs. Dominican Republic and Great Britain vs. Mexico to close things out.

The Dominican Republic came out of the gates slow and suffered a 5-1 loss to Venezuela in its opening game. However, it bounced back a bit with a 6-1 win against Nicaragua on Monday.

Israel was on the losing end of the first-ever perfect game in the World Baseball Classic on Monday night as Puerto Rico won 10-0 in eight innings.

The DR’s offense hasn’t fully come alive yet with only seven runs through two games. I expect that to change against Israel's 19-year-old Jacob Steinmetz, who had a 7.88 ERA across 24 innings in rookie ball last season.

Julio Rodriguez, Juan Soto, Rafael Devers, Manny Machado, and the rest of the stacked Dominican lineup should come alive for a blowout win against Israel.

Spread: Great Britain RL +6.5 vs. Mexico (+105 via BetMGM)  ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great Britain has shown its teeth in this tournament with its first WBC win on Monday night against Colombia after putting a bit of a scare into the Americans in its 6-2 defeat to open pool play.

Mexico bounced back from a 5-4 loss to Colombia in extra innings in its opening game with an 11-5 pounding of Team USA on Sunday night. 

Taijuan Walker will be taking the mound for Mexico against Great Britain’s Joseph King, who was drafted by the Cardinals in the ninth round of last year’s MLB draft. King had a 3.43 ERA in 89 1/3 innings in his NCAA career for Cal.

It’s going to be a decent pitching matchup and Great Britain should be able to keep this a relatively close game. I’ll take the +6.5 runs at +105 at BetMGM rather than +100 odds at DraftKings.
