Pool C play continues in the World Baseball Classic with Colombia visiting Puerto Rico at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Friday, March 6.
My Colombia vs. Puerto Rico predictions and World Baseball Classic best bets expect the Colombians to hang around in a low-scoring game.
Puerto Rico vs Colombia prediction
Puerto Rico vs Colombia best bet: Colombia +3.5 (-115 at DraftKings)
The Puerto Rico lineup took a major hit with insurance issues, and MLB staples Francisco Lindor, Carlos Correa and Javier Baez won’t be playing in the World Baseball Classic.
As a result, I’m happy to take the runs with the Colombians.
Colombia has a veteran-heavy lineup with former MLB talents Gio Urshela, Harold Ramirez, and Jorge Alfaro leading the way, and starter Jose Quintana has 14 years in the majors.
This is also the first game of the WBC for both teams, so the Colombian bullpen will be rested and have all its best arms available to follow Quintana.

Colombia +3.5
Under 9.5
In addition to the lineup hits to the Puerto Rico lineup, ace Seth Lugo stands to hold the Colombians in check.
Lugo was the 2024 American League Cy Young runner-up, and he’s spun a tidy 3.51 ERA and 1.19 ERA over 609 2/3 innings across the past five MLB seasons.
