⚾ Great Britain vs. USA Predictions & Odds: WBC 2026 Betting Picks Tonight

It didn't look especially impressive at times, but Team USA walked away from its showdown against Brazil with a 15-5 win last night. Our Great Britain vs. USA predictions expect the Americans to show a little more passion today after watching teams like the Dominican Republic and Japan play with a ton of energy, and that should lead to another comfortable victory.

Tonight marks Tarik Skubal's only start for Team USA during the WBC, and the best pitcher in baseball will enter with his team trading as a massive -3500 betting favorite. Opposing Skubal will be Tyler Viza for Great Britain, and let me tell you, if you tune in roughly 30 min. after this one's 8 p.m. ET (FOX) opening pitch, he probably won't be in the game anymore.

💰 Great Britain vs. USA best bet

USA -7.5 (-110)

This was easy for two reasons. First, I expect a big win for Team USA.

The second reason is this is a mistake by FanDuel. DraftKings has the run line at -8.5 with USA as a -3500 favorite on the moneyline. FanDuel has USA as an even bigger moneyline favorite at -4500, but its run line is only -7.5.

I know Team USA didn't play a particularly inspiring brand of baseball last night, but this is still the most talented team in the tournament, and Great Britain lost 8-2 to Mexico. Take advantage of the extra run we're getting here.

🔥 Best Great Britain vs. USA player prop

Roman Anthony 2+ hits (+170)

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I rocked with Roman Anthony to collect two-plus hits last night against Brazil at +130, and it cashed despite the Brazilians unable to throw strikes for essentially the entire game.

So yeah, I'm going back to the well tonight at even better odds. Duh.

Maybe I'm just a Boston Red Sox homer, but I truly believe that Anthony is already one of the most talented hitters in baseball. He had two hard-hit balls last night, with the second being a sharp grounder he ripped through a hole to score a run in the ninth.

I bet this at only 0.67 units yesterday, but I'm slapping a full unit on it tonight.

💣 Great Britain vs. USA home run prediction

Kyle Schwarber (+165)

Kyle Schwarber was one of two other USA players besides Anthony to have at least two hits in last night's game, and one of them was an absolute missile of a single in the first inning. He didn't quite get the launch angle right on that one, but if there's one thing this guy does, it's hit nukes.

Honestly, you can't go wrong with betting on a number of American players to hit a home run tonight. Aaron Judge at +145, Cal Raleigh at +150, Bobby Witt Jr. at +340, Alex Bregman at +380, or Anthony at +450. I like all of those, so if you're not feeling Schwarber, take a stab at any one of those other guys.

⚖️ How I'm betting Great Britain vs. USA

I've been very tight with my bankroll management during the WBC, but I'm opening it up a bit on this game. We know the players when it comes to team USA, and I feel comfortable backing the likes of Anthony and Schwarber for 1.5 units rather than the combined one unit I placed on my pair of player props yesterday.

I would maybe go less than a full unit on the Under 15, especially because it's trading at nice plus-money odds, but I also have no problem if you do hit it for a full unit. I would, however, smash the -7.5 for a full unit. Overall, I think betting 2.5 to 3.5 units on this game is perfectly reasonable, depending on your personal comfort level.

🆚 Great Britain vs. USA starting pitchers & projected lineups

Here are the projected starting pitchers and lineups for today's Great Britain vs. USA matchup:

Key players to watch

Great Britain - Jazz Chisholm: Jazz went 0-for-5 in Great Britain's first game against Mexico, and I think he could be in for another long, painful evening against Skubal and the USA bullpen.

USA - Pete Crow-Armstrong: Byron Buxton exited yesterday's contest after being hit by a pitch, and Crow-Armstrong entered the game in his place. If the Cubs CF starts tonight, he profiles as one of the most electric guys in the game. His speed and defensive prowess are truly marvelous to watch.
