In a star-studded World Baseball Classic semifinal in Miami (Sun, 8 p.m. ET, FS1), Team USA will rely on Paul Skenes to navigate a dangerous Dominican Republic lineup led by Fernando Tatis Jr., Juan Soto, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Manny Machado and Junior Caminero. USA advanced with a 5-3 win over Canada, while the DR has dominated with a +41 run differential and a 10-0 mercy rule over Korea. USA bullpen depth will be tested as Skenes works on a pitch-count, with reinforcements added to the relief corps for the matchup.
