USA vs Brazil WBC Odds
| Team | Run Line | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| USA | -9.5 (-120) | -5000 | O14.5 (-130) |
| Brazil | +9.5 (+100) | +1400 | U14.5 (+110) |
While seeing a 9.5-run line in any professional baseball game is rare, this team USA squad covered Friday’s line in both exhibitions against MLB Spring Training rosters. USA crushed the San Francisco Giants 15-1 on Tuesday and blasted the Colorado Rockies 14-4 on Wednesday.
USA nearly covered Friday’s 14.5-run total themselves in both of those games. Brazil has some notable talent to help cash the -130 odds at Brazil sports betting sites for the over. They have seven MLB players but big names like Dante Bichette Jr., Lucas Ramirez (son of Manny Ramirez), and 17-year-old phenom Joseph Contreras (son of Jose Contreras).
USA Has 5 Players With +150 HR Odds Or Shorter In WBC Opener
Aaron Judge leads the anytime home run odds board at legal MLB betting sites with favored -110 odds. To make up for the short odds, Bovada Sportsbook has +600 odds for Judge to hit two or more home runs against Brazil.
USA vs Brazil Home Run Odds
- Aaron Judge (USA) -110
- Cal Raleigh (USA) +100
- Kyle Schwarber (USA) +120
- Byron Buxton (USA) +150
- Bryce Harper (USA) +150
- Bobby Witt Jr. (USA) +300

- Roman Anthony (USA) +400
- Brice Turang (USA) +500
- Lucas Ramirez (BRA) +2000
- Dante Bichette Jr. (BRA) +2200
Aaron Judge (-110), Alex Bregman (+320), Will Smith, Paul Goldschmidt, and Byron Buxton (+150) all hit homers against the Rockies, but Roman Anthony with +400 World Baseball Classic odds to leave the yard offers the most value. He crushed a homer in his USA debut against San Francisco and could benefit from a right-handed dominant starting rotation from Team Brazil.
