Here's what to know about the oddsboard:

The Favorite: Aaron Judge opened as the favorite pre-tournament, but Shohei Ohtani has moved to the front of the pack. Through the tournament so far, Ohtani is batting .556 with 21 plate appearances, two home runs and a 2.025 OPS.

Ones to Watch: Closely behind Ohtani on the board is who else but Aaron Judge. In the USA's win over Canada in the quarterfinals, he had a hit and a run in three at-bats. He will get a chance to make a major mark in the tournament when the Americans take on the Dominican Republic in the semifinals.
