TEAM USA LINEUP — The World Baseball Classic was built for matchups like this. The Dominican Republic brings the flash and firepower of one of the most dangerous lineups in the tournament. Team USA counters with the most overpowering pitcher in the field, as Paul Skenes takes the ball, looking to keep the American run through the bracket alive.
USA Lineup:
Bobby Witt Jr., SS Bryce Harper, 1B Aaron Judge, RF Kyle Schwarber, DH Gunnar Henderson, 3B Will Smith, C Roman Anthony, LF Brice Turang, 2B Pete Crow-Armstrong, CFSunday night at loanDepot Park brings together something closer to a baseball All-Star Game than a typical international matchup, except this one comes with a trip to the World Baseball Classic final on the line.
Team USA arrived at the tournament with a roster widely viewed as one of the most talented the country has ever assembled. But standing across from them is a Dominican Republic club that might be just as loaded. Between the two rosters are 18 players who received MVP votes last season, including Aaron Judge, Bobby Witt Jr., and Paul Skenes for the United States and Juan Soto, Julio Rodríguez, Fernando Tatis Jr., Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Manny Machado for the Dominican Republic.
With that much star power on the field, the matchup almost feels inevitable. And the biggest storyline centers on Skenes, the reigning Cy Young winner, taking the mound against a Dominican lineup that has been crushing baseballs all tournament long.

Managed by Albert Pujols, the lineup has been relentless, with Oneil Cruz, Junior Caminero, Guerrero, Soto, and Tatis all leaving the yard multiple times during the tournament.
Team USA’s road to the semifinals hasn’t been perfectly smooth, including a surprising loss to Italy in pool play, but the Americans still advanced behind a strong run differential and a quarterfinal win over Canada. And while the roster is packed with household names, some of the hottest bats in the lineup have belonged to Pete Crow-Armstrong and Brice Turang.
Now it comes down to one game. The winner moves on to Tuesday night’s championship game in Miami, while the loser goes home. For two teams this stacked with talent, and two baseball powers that have crossed paths throughout WBC history, the road to gold runs straight through each other once again.
