The World Baseball Classic continues on Wednesday with three more games in Pool A and Pool B.

Israel looks to complete their run through Pool A undefeated after winning their first two games on Monday, a 2-1 nail-biter over Korea and a 15-7 romp over Chinese Taipei. Should Team Netherlands beat Chinese Taipei in the early game on Wednesday, the Wednesday night matchup between Israel and Netherlands will be a battle of undefeated teams fighting to win the pool, though both would advance to the second round in that scenario.

Over in Pool B in Tokyo, Japan looks to stay undefeated with a game against Australia. Japan beat Cuba 11-6 in their opening contest on Tuesday.

MLB Network will televise all three games on Wednesday, with online streaming via MLB Network with television provider authentication. ESPN Deportes will televise two of the games in Spanish, with Chinese Taipei vs. Netherlands shifted to ESPN Deportes+. The Spanish broadcasts are available online via Watch ESPN.
