Stroman is the reigning MVP and Urias is one of the best pitchers in baseball.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, Julio Urias went 17-7 with an absurd 2.16 ERA. He finished third in Cy Young voting and is 49-17 for his career with a 2.82 ERA in seven seasons. He&#8217;s one of the best pitchers in baseball.<\/p>\n<p>Marcus Stroman is past his prime, but he was also one of baseball&#8217;s best pitchers for a few seasons. That was never more apparent than when he carried Team USA to the title in 2017. In the clincher, he took a perfect game into the sixth inning.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/baseball\/youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\"> <noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cubs\u2019 Marcus Stroman on his love for fashion, playing in WBC for Puerto Rico | NBC Sports Chicago\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q5K3i3Bt7v0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript> <\/p>\n<div class=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/baseball\/youtube\" data-embed=\"Q5K3i3Bt7v0\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/03\/c9a57-16790581794882-1920.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/03\/c9a57-16790581794882-1920.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/baseball\/news-who-won-2017-world-baseball-classic-revisiting-marcus-stroman-s-heroics-competition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Stroman&#8217;s dominance<\/a> is well documented, but he now faces a strong Mexico team in a win or go home matchup.
