Following round-robin pool play, the World Baseball Classic field of 20 was reduced to a single-elimination bracket of eight teams — appropriate for the start of March Madness.
In Tokyo, the Pool A winner, Cuba, and Pool B winner, Japan, won their quarterfinal matchups on Wednesday and Thursday. And in Miami, Mexico, and USA won their quarterfinal matchups on Friday and Saturday.
The four teams will advance to the semifinals, where Japan will play Mexico on Monday, USA will play Cuba on Sunday, and the winning teams will play in the championship game on Tuesday evening.
Below, I’ll provide my projections for Sunday’s matchup (first pitch at 7 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1) and utilize those projections to find an actionable betting edge for the game.
