We are just hours away from the highly anticipated 2026 World Baseball Classic semifinal between Team USA and the Dominican Republic at loanDepot park in Miami, Florida.
Paul Skenes takes the mound for the United States, while Luis Severino gets the call for the D.R. With the first pitch set for 8:00 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1, both country’s have unveiled their starting lineups for the semifinal showdown.
The Dominican Republic once again put together one of the most stacked batting lineups we’ve ever seen, which sets up a difficult task for Skenes. However, if Skenes can shut down Platano Power, he firmly establishes himself as the best active pitcher in MLB.

Team USA has benched third baseman Alex Bregman and catcher Cal Raleigh, who were hitless against Canada. They will be replaced by Gunnar Henderson and Will Smith, respectively.
Here are the starting lineups for both teams:
Entering Sunday night’s game, the United States is a slight -170 favorite as the designated “away team,” while the Dominican Republic checks in with +135 odds.
That means a $100 wager on the D.R. would land you a $135 payday, while you would need to risk $170 on Team USA for a $100 win.
