We’ve arrived at the World Baseball Classic Final and while one team was absolutely expected to be here, the other team is looking to cap off a dark horse run to a WBC title. Team USA was clearly one of the favorites to win this thing and they’ve held up their end of the bargain (outside of a Pool play slip-up that nearly eliminated them) by being the last of the trio of favorites standing — Japan tripped up in the Quarterfinals and Team USA took care of the Dominican Republic, themselves, on their way to reaching the Final. So the other team that meets Team USA in the Final is Venezuela.
