Can Colombia pull off the upset?
The United States has a shot at clinching a quarterfinal spot in the 2023 World Baseball Classic against Colombia on Wednesday night in the final game of Pool C play.
During their last appearance, the United States mercy-ruled Canada with a shocking 12-1 victory to get them right back on track and over the .500 hump. That came following Mexico delivering one of the most jaw-dropping performances of the tournament, beating the United States, 11-5, on Sunday night.
Meanwhile, Colombia has struggled. First, they couldn’t hold a three-run lead over Great Britain, who endured an early exit from the tournament. Then Canada shut them out, leading to a 12-5 scoring differential in Colombia’s last two games.
Right-hander Merrill Kelly will take the mound for the United States and Colombia will counter with southpaw Luis De Avila.
The United States is a 7.5-run favorite with a -6000 moneyline, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
