Great Britain vs United States Picks

• Cal Raleigh or Bryce Harper to hit a home run (-145 at FanDuel)

There isn’t much value to bet on the moneyline in this Group B contest, so it could be a good bet to wager on it to be home run party for the Americans. Cal Raleigh or Bryce Harper didn’t go deep in the first game of this tournamnet so they’ll be fired up this Saturday. Raleigh was UNREAL last season, smashing 60 dingers, and he drove in 125 RBIs.

Bryce Harper has been vocal about how much he loves representing his country, and he’ll want to use this tourney to kickstart a bounce-back season. Harper hit 27 home runs last season but should be able to tee off on these Great Britain pitchers. He’s batting in front of Aaron Judge, so they’ll be forced to pitch to the Phillies slugger. He could see some very hittable pitches.

Tyler Visa gets the start for Great Britain while the Tigers’ Tarik Skubal will take the bump for Team USA.

• Tarik Skubal over 4.5 strikeouts (-172 at FanDuel)

Tarik Skubal said he’s only pitching one game for Team USA, so he’ll be extremely motivated to put on a show for his American teammates. The reigning back-to-back American League Cy Young winner put up incredible numbers last season for the Tigers. He produced a 13-6 record, a 2.21 ERA and struck out 241 batters.

Skubal is a nightmare for any person he faces, and in 26 of his 31 starts, he recorded 5 or more strikeouts. The American lefty tallied 10 or more strikeouts in 10 starts for the Detroit Tigers last year.

Great Britain vs USA How to Watch

The first pitch is set for 8:00 PM ET for this Group B duel between Great Britain and the USA at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas. It will air nationally on Fox, which will provide broadcast duties in America, while Sportsnet + will handle coverage across Canada.
