Between three WBC squads, Mexico, the United States and Italy, only two spots in the quarterfinals of the elimination bracket are available based on the results of the matchup. Coming into the Pool B game, Italy sits at 3-0, Mexico is 2-1, while the United States has wrapped up pool play at 3-1.
There are varying outcomes for which teams come out of Pool B. The most straightforward scenario: if Italy beats Mexico, then Italy and the United States advance. However, if Mexico beats Italy, things will get complicated, with the number of runs scored deciding whether it would be Italy or the U.S. claiming the other Pool B spot.
Mark DeRosa's Team USA squad can do nothing but watch as its WBC fate is on the line Wednesday night. With Aaron Nola getting the ball for Italy, and Javier Assad pitching for Mexico, it's virtually an elimination game in Houston.
