Italy
Had I gone the other way with my winner, Italy/Venezuela would have been an over winner and hell of a final score call. But Venezuela was the 11-10 winner and nixed our big day. Pool D is better for it, though.
We have a an awesome final day in the best opening-round pool of the Classic today. The final day unless we’re lucky enough to get a play-in tomorrow.

One way that will happen is if Italy beats Puerto Rico and if Mexico goes 0-3. The other possibility is if Italy and Venezuela both lose, and everyone but Puerto Rico ends up 1-2.
Of course, a win for Italy gives it a shot to get in outright, while a loss means it needs some help. Pound for pound, Italy has been the toughest opponent in the tournament and will be a tough KO.
Puerto Rico
I like Puerto Rico’s spot. It hasn’t clinched a place in Pool F but must be feeling like a tournament favorite. That makes this afternoon against Italy – a team Puerto Rico should hope to defeat no matter who is pitching – a nice test.
It’s just such a great mix of youth and age. Where it has Lindor, Correa and Baez it also has Beltran, Molina and Pagan. And while Angel Pagan’s name is on the screen, let me recognize how awesome of a leadoff hitter he is. I love that guy.

Bottom line, don’t expect anybody on Team Puerto Rico to start looking ahead until 27 Italians have been retired. They are too well-disciplined and intelligent to let that happen. They also must believe this is their year.
Free Italy vs. Puerto Rico WBC Prediction: Puerto Rico’s talent prevails.
The first two games weren’t easy on Italy’s pitching staff and now it’s at the bottom of the depth chart for Puerto Rico. If Italy does lose this afternoon, I’ll be pulling hard for Mexico in the nightcap.
