Cuba is a slight favorite at -109 and Japan at -102. Too close to call.

I like Cuba also. Cuba has shown that they play well in games that matters the most and they have a lot of experience from international competitions. Still, i might be tempted to bet Japan if the odds will still go up. Japan is a talented side and i feel the game is pretty much a 50%-50% coin toss.

Japan wins handily. Without Marti and Lazo the Cubans are in trouble. Put the big money on the Japanese tonight.

Japan beat up Cuba's pitching in the first inning. They had 3 pitchers in the 1st inning and Japan scored 4 runs.

Its 4-1 after 1 inning.

I have a parlay of Japan and over so I would say that Cuba comes back and wins it.
