The United States is predicted to win the 2026 World Baseball Classic, with odds-on favorites at -110, followed by Japan at +350 and the Dominican Republic at +400. The U.S. leads in ticket share (34.7%), while Japan leads in handle share (41.7%). The odds have been reduced to -110 on DraftKings, with 70% of tickets and 78% of money backing the American team. This represents a significant change from the lines going into the 2023 tournament.
