Watch USA vs. Japan World Baseball Classic live stream: Lineups, channel, streaming info
World Baseball Classic live stream info for USA vs. Japan as the two favorites clash in the WBC Final with lineups, TV info and more.
There was always a good chance that it would come down to USA vs. Japan in the World Baseball Classic Final and, lo and behold, that’s what we have. It’s a massive showdown to decide who will win the WBC on Tuesday, March 21 from loanDepot Park in Miami.
After Trea Turner’s monster grand slam to come from behind and beat Venezuela, Team USA came out and throttled Cuba as Mike Trout stepped up, as did Turner again with two more homers, in a rout that pushed them into the final.
Japan needed some heroics of their own after punching a ticket directly to the semifinals. Trailing Mexico multiple times on Monday night, it was Munetaka Murakami who drove in Shohei Ohtani on a walk-off double to get the win and push them into this huge battle with the Americans.
These are arguably the two best teams in the WBC. Team USA holds a 2-1 record over Japan in this tournament all time, but who will come out on top on Tuesday night? We have you covered so you can watch how things play out on the diamond.
USA lineup vs. Japan in World Baseball Classic Final
Here’s a look at the Team USA lineup for this game on Tuesday against Japan.
The big, big change here is Trea Turner getting bumped up from the No. 9 spot he’s batted in for much of this tournament to the No. 6 hole. Given how hot he’s been and the patriotic heroics he’s provided, it makes sense. However, it is a notable change that could potentially throw off some dynamics going into the WBC Final, which is risky from Mark DeRosa.
Japan lineup vs. USA in World Baseball Classic Final
Here’s the Japan lineup for the WBC Final on Tuesday night.
Shota Imanaga will start, which is a change after it previously appeared that Yu Darvish would get the nod for the Japanese team. However, the word is that Ohtani could pitch an inning in relief if necessary while he will obviously be a huge asset in the lineup with the middle of this order showing out big time in the World Baseball Classic.
