World Baseball Classic: USA vs. Venezuela
Team USA is led by Mike Trout, who recently posted his team's first performance with three hits and three RBI in a single World Baseball Classic game since Mark DeRosa, who is now the manager, did it in 2009 against Venezuela.
Trout is having the time of his life in the tournament as he leads a stacked team comprised of stars like Mookie Betts, Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado, J.T. Realmuto and Tim Anderson. The American squad came in second place in their pool to Team Mexico.
Team Venezuela is headlined by Ronald Acuña Jr. and Jose Altuve and features an impressive collection of MLB players like Salvador Perez, Andres Gimenez, Luis Arraez, Pablo Lopez, Martin Perez, Jose Alvarado and Eduardo Escobar. The Venezuelan squad has won all four of its games so far, taking Pool D over powerhouses Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
After previously having some troublesome pitching, Team USA will have to be at its best as it looks to advance.
