A win over Cuba on Wednesday was enough to secure Canada’s place in the knockout phase of the 2026 World Baseball Classic. Canada’s reward for topping their group is a quarterfinal matchup with the United States on Friday.
This is the first time Canada has reached the quarterfinal stage of the World Baseball Classic. They are inevitably heavy underdogs against the U.S.

World Baseball Classic Predictions for Canada
I predict Canada will be eliminated from the World Baseball Classic by the U.S. on Friday.
Logan Webb is on course to make the start for the Americans, with Mike Soroka expected to start for Canada.
As the World Baseball Classic odds in the baseball betting markets at the BetMGM online sportsbook suggest, Canada is a massive outsider to win this tournament. Only one country has longer odds at the time of writing.
The U.S. losing to Italy shows they are beatable, but the Americans will be far more focused in a winner-take-all game. Webb has also been one of the most consistent starting pitchers in the majors over the last few years.
With big arms following Webb out of the bullpen, the U.S. should be able to keep this Canadian lineup relatively quiet.
