The World Baseball Classic final is set, and Team USA is a sizable favorite to take home its second title Tuesday, while Venezuela will need to overcome underdog odds once again to win its first.
The Americans are -285 money-line favorites over the Venezuelans, which sports +225 odds for the WBC's championship game. The U.S. had opened the tournament as the odds-on -110 favorite, while Venezuela began at +900.
Team USA had attracted over 50% of the handle to win the WBC title going into the quarterfinals at BetMGM, making the Americans the sportsbook's largest liability. Venezuela, meanwhile, garnered just 2.4% of the handle, fifth-most at the book.
On the tournament MVP front, Americans Aaron Judge (+370), Roman Anthony (+600) and Bobby Witt Jr. (+850) top the odds board, along with Venezuelan Ronald Acuna Jr. (+750). Maikel Garcia (18-1) and Luis Arraez (20-1) are also in the running from Venezuela.
