⚾ Dominican Republic vs. Israel Predictions & Odds: WBC 2026 Betting Picks Today

In a battle between the two teams leading Pool D heading into the second week of WBC action, our Dominican Republic vs. Israel predictions expect the cream to rise to the top in this one, as one of the tournament favorites gears up for another high-scoring affair.

The Dominican Republic is a hefty -2500 betting favorite at DraftKings after two massive victories, and the 7.5 run line might be set a little too low based on how these teams have performed thus far.

Ryan Prager will be the Dominicans' latest victim when he takes the mound for Israel, while Brayan Bello starts for the favorites.

💰 Dominican Republic vs. Israel best bet

Dominican Republic -7.5 (+100)

The Dominican Republic has scored 24 runs in two games, outscoring Nicaragua and Netherlands by a combined 20 runs. Sure, Israel beat the former 5-0 yesterday, but it also lost 11-3 to Venezuela. I don't know what the heck we're doing with this run line, but I like it for us.

I also think the Over 12.5 is just as good of a bet. This has the feeling of a game that ends with a final score around 13-4, so bet either one, or both.

🔥 Best Dominican Republic vs. Israel player prop

Ketel Marte 2+ hits (+110)

I initially bet on Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to record two-plus hits, but he's not starting, so we're pivoting to Ketel Marte for similar reasons.

Marte is hitting just .250 so far, but he has a good matchup today.

Prager is a 23-year-old lefty who hasn't played above A-level ball, in which he gave up seven hits over 4 1/3 innings last year. Meanwhile, Marte had a top-20 wRC+ against lefties this past season, and he batted .277 against them.

I expect him to rip a base knock against Prager early in this one, and cash the bet with a second hit against Israel's bullpen.

💣 Dominican Republic vs. Israel home run prediction

Manny Machado home run (+330)

Speaking of numbers against southpaws, Machado punished lefties last year. The third baseman hit 27 home runs across 678 total plate appearances, but 12 of those came in just 187 PAs against left-handed pitchers.

I was also looking at Junior Caminero (+215) or Ketel Marte (+275) to go yard in today's game, but I landed on Machado due to his combination of longer odds and similar skill set.

⚖️ How I'm betting Dominican Republic vs. Israel

I've been pretty tight with my bankroll management when it comes to betting on teams with more unknowns, but I know these Dominican Republic players. So, much like I have when Team USA plays, I'm willing to open things up a bit.

I'd bet a full unit each on the spread and total, and I'll throw a unit on the Marte prop, too. Then, I'd say wager anywhere from 0.25 to 0.5 units on the Machado home run. I split the difference and went with 0.33 to bring my total wager for this game to 3.33 units.

🆚 Dominican Republic vs. Israel starting pitchers & lineups

Here are the starting pitchers and lineups for today's Dominican Republic vs. Israel matchup:

Key players to watch

Dominican Republic - Manny Machado: Unfortunately, for fans of defensive play, Machado will slide into the DH role today, but I expect him to make up for it with his play at the plate.

Israel - Ryan Prager: The Israel starting pitcher faces the impossible task of silencing the Dominican bats, and if his team has a chance in this one, he's going to need to get through a couple clean innings.
