Players To Watch
Cuban’s roster included several MLB players, including third baseman Yoan Moncada (team leader in OPS) and outfielder Luis Roberts. On the pitching side, they are led by Miguel Romero, a member of the Atlética organization. He has made four appearances so far, pitching eight scoreless innings, including 12 strikeouts and zero walks. (Team USA Vs.

Team USA, in contrast, is a who’s who of MLB position players. Mike Trout, Mookie Bates, Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado. And that J.T. is not mentioned. Realmuto, Trea Turner, Tim Anderson or many other highly talented hitters. Trout, meanwhile, leads Team USA in double-digit at-bats with a 1.147 OPS.
Prediction
We give the Americans the upper hand on paper. His performances have been uneven at times this tournament, and Wainwright’s struggles this spring worry us. However, this lineup should be able to do enough damage against Elias and his team to send Team USA back to the finals.
