Details:
In Tokyo, Japan, Cuba defeated Australia 4-3 on Wednesday. On Friday, the U.S. team defeated Venezuela 9-7 in Miami.
The Americans got all they could handle from the Venezuelans. Both teams scored in the first inning, and Team USA led 3-2. As the United States took a 5-2 lead in the fourth and fifth innings, Venezuela came up with four runs in the bottom half of the fifth to give them the lead by one run. As Luis Arraez homered in the seventh inning, the Venezuelans increased their lead to 7-5, but they did not score again.
Team USA's offense experienced a resurgence in the top of the eighth, as Tim Anderson began the inning by walking, followed by Pete Alonso single and J.T. Realmuto being hit by a pitch. Cuba sent Silvino Bracho to face Trea Turner with the bases loaded, 0-2 count; however, Turner blasted a homer off the following pitch to give the U.S. a 9-7 advantage. Devin Williams and Ryan Pressly both worked their magic in the eighth and ninth innings respectively for an American victory, with David Bedner getting credit for pitching scoreless seventh frame.
Cuba held on to beat the Australians after some clutch hitting and reliable pitching. Australia grabbed a run in the second stanza, while Cuba responded in the third. It looked like they would finish 1-1 until Alfredo Despaigne executed a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the fifth, giving Cuba a 2-1 advantage. Yoelkis Guibert then drove home Yoan Moncada and Luis Robert Jr., increasing the lead to 4-1. Rixon Wingrove put up a two-run homer for Australia in the sixth inning, but it wasn't enough as Cuba held off their opponents for the victory.
A scoreless inning was pitched by Cuban relievers Livan Moinelo and Raidel Martinez, both of whom pitch for Japanese professional teams. He threw 1.2 scoreless innings in relief of Cuban starter Yariel Rodriguez in the eighth and ninth innings, respectively. The Cuban starter went 3.1 innings and allowed two hits and a run.
Free Baseball classics Predictions
Although Cuba played on Wednesday, it will have to travel from Tokyo to Miami, which takes at least 16 hours. Still, the Cuban pitching staff is surely better rested than Team USA. The U.S. team is loaded with MLB talent, but the Cuban club has its own pros playing in MLB and Japan. We think Team USA will make it to the finals with a close game. Final Score Prediction, United States wins 5-4. So i go for Cuba plus 2.5 points because is will be a close one and even Cuba could win it.
