The Super Bowl and Olympics are in the rearview mirror. March Madness is just down the road, though not quite visible. But right there through the windshield is the World Baseball Classic. And with it, of course, WBC odds, which have already drawn a major wager on at least one team. "Our headline right now: We just took a $40,000 bet on Dominican Republic +425 to win the tournament," Caesars Sports head of baseball trading Eric Biggio said Monday. "Hed win a nice check off of that, if the Dominican Republic were to win." FOX Sports will have all the action, with games on FOX, FS1 and FS2 and in Spanish on FOX Deportes. Biggio helps dive into World Baseball Classic futures odds, ahead of Wednesday nights first pitch in the international tournament.

Trio at the Top Team USA fell just short in the 2023 World Baseball Classic, losing 3-2 to Japan in the final. It was a riveting finish, with Shohei Ohtani striking out his then Angels teammate Mike Trout to give Japan its third WBC title. Ohtani has since moved to the Dodgers, helping Los Angeles win back-to-back World Series in 2024 and 2025. Hes again on Japans roster for the WBC, though as a designated hitter, so he wont be pitching. While Japan is the defending champion, the USA is a solid favorite in Caesars World Baseball Classic odds. As of Monday afternoon, the U.S. is -110 to win the tournament, meaning it would take a $110 bet to profit $100 (total payout $210). Japan is the +340 second choice. So a $100 bet on Ohtani & Co. would profit a nice $340, if the Japanese side repeats as champion. The Dominican Republic is just behind Japan at +400. "The consensus is that the U.S. has the best pitching, the Dominican Republic has the best lineup and Japan has the best overall team," Biggio said. USA All The Way? Team USA opens the tourney against Brazil, with an 8 p.m. ET first pitch on FOX from Daikin Park in Houston. No surprise, the U.S. is a popular play to win the 20-team tournament. "The U.S. leads in bet count, by a pretty healthy margin," Biggio said. "The team looks good, and the pitching staff is loaded. So theres a lot of positivity around the U.S. team." Leading the way on that talented pitching staff are the Pirates Paul Skenes and the Tigers Tarik Skubal. Skenes won the NL Cy Young Award last season, and Skubal claimed the last two AL Cy Young honors. "I really love their pitching, so I like the U.S. to win this time around," Biggio said, though he couched any sort of guarantee. "It wouldnt surprise me at all to see Japan, the Dominican Republic or even Venezuela making a run." Venezuela is the +900 fourth choice in WBC championship odds. Theres a notable drop-off from there, with Puerto Rico the +2000 fifth choice. As Biggio noted above, there are more bets on Team USA than any other team. However, the Dominican Republic has taken the most money so far in WBC futures. But thats solely due to the aforementioned $40,000 bet. If the D.R. delivers, then that bettor bags $170,000 in profit (total payout $210,000). Dark Horse If youre looking to get a little more bang for your buck recognizing that youre also far more likely to lose your bet then Biggio has a couple under-the-radar teams that might be of interest. Canada is +6000 in WBC futures odds, followed by South Korea at +8000. If Canada makes a surprising title run, a $100 bet would profit $6,000. A hundred bucks on South Korea would net $8,000 profit. But again, its unlikely either of those two teams are still standing for the March 17 final in Miami. "You could make a case for South Korea or Canada," Biggio said. "But I think its a pretty favorite-heavy tournament. Pitching will win out, whether its the USA, Japan or the Dominican Republic."

All 27 players took to the field and, according to the coach, successfully executed the proposals.Our athletes perfectly understood the content and ideas we presented in this first preparation. We used everyone, with the same playing time, and it was very nice to see them against players two years older, not shying away from playing and proposing an offensive and very daring game. We increasingly notice that our athletes are coming with excellent technical and physical behaviors and a winning mentality, he praised.Under-15 National Team coach, Guilherme Dalla Da, during the training match with Madureira-RJCredits: Staff Images / CBFOn Friday (6th), the team will face the Under-17 team of Nova Iguau-RJ. Facing teams from higher categories is part of the National Team's plan, to impose challenges on the Amarelinha and for the staff to monitor the team's evolution. Until the match, the plan is to work on defensive movements, since the focus in the first week of training was on attack.For the training match with Nova Iguau, Dalla Da explained that the goal is to continue observing the athletes' evolution from both an individual and collective perspective.The idea is to look at our athletes individually, but also mainly in the collective aspect, so that we can conclude these two weeks of work, with 15 training sessions, and that they can store and grasp the game ideas of the Brazilian Under-15 National Team. I am sure that our team will still have great evolution in all aspects, he concluded.Besides the goals of the Amarelinha, this call-up contributed to the athletes' preparation for the Under-15 Brazil Cup, a competition created by the CBF, with its first edition to be held this year.Under-15 National Team held a training match with Madureira-RJCredits: Staff Images / CBFThis article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
