The Dominican Republic will look to lay down a marker in Pool D of the 2026 WBC when they play the Netherlands in Miami on Sunday afternoon. The D.R. came into this tournament as one of the favorites, thanks to their star-studded roster. They didn’t disappoint in their first assignment after demolishing Nicaragua 12-3 on Friday. This was a statement win for the D.R., who are +340 to win the championship this year.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, started slowly with a heavy 6-2 defeat against Venezuela at LoanDepot Park. However, they quickly regrouped to shock Nicaragua 4-3 on Saturday. It was a game full of drama, considering Nicaragua were just one pitch from securing a 3-1 win and condemning the Dutchmen to their second defeat. This game showed just how small the lines can be at this tournament.

Our Dominican Republic vs Netherlands Prediction
The Dominican Republic will come into this game as the warm betting favorites, looking to record another statement win. However, they’ll need to earn the win on Friday, considering both sides are in a rich vein of form. The Netherlands enjoyed a solid campaign ahead of this tournament, comfortably defeating Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles. Their 4-3 record in the last seven WBC assignments also speaks for itself. However, it’s difficult to see them get past the Dominican Republic, who have 21 All-Stars and two World Series champions in their ranks. Still, the Netherlands should go down fighting.
Our prediction for the Dominican Republic vs the Netherlands: Over 10.5 runs to hit
