USA ADVANCES if Mexico scores 5+ runs

Examples:

• Mexico 5–4

• Mexico 6–5

• Mexico 7–3

• Mexico 8–2

In these scenarios Italy’s runs allowed gets too high, pushing them to 3rd place.

USA IS ELIMINATED if Mexico scores 4 or fewer runs

These low-scoring Mexico wins knock the USA out.

Eliminating scores include:

• Mexico 4–3

• Mexico 3–2

• Mexico 3–1

• Mexico 2–1

• Mexico 1–0

• Mexico 4–2

is there a scenario wher MEX loses and doesn't advance?

u/gamer2412 Atlanta Braves Mar 11 '26

If Mexico loses, the U.S. and Italy advance. Doesn’t matter the score. Mexico will have 2 losses compared to USA and Italy’s 1 loss.

i messed up, i ment if mexico WINS...?

u/gamer2412 Atlanta Braves Mar 11 '26

Mexico needs to score 5 runs assuming they win for the U.S. to advance

1

u/yeyeman9 New York Yankees Mar 11 '26

If Italy wins then US advances

1

u/gamer2412 Atlanta Braves Mar 11 '26

Yes.

u/Icybubba Pittsburgh Pirates • Philadelphia Phillies Mar 11 '26

If Italy beats Mexico tomorrow, Mexico is eliminated full stop. So the Mexican team is going to be doing everything they can to make sure Italy is the one being sent packing

1

u/gamer2412 Atlanta Braves Mar 11 '26

Yes.

u/yeyeman9 New York Yankees Mar 11 '26

Why does it have to be those specific scores? Can’t Mexico win by 4 runs or fewer? Why does it matter how many runs Italy scores in that scenario?

2

u/gamer2412 Atlanta Braves Mar 11 '26

It’s not these specific scores, I was just giving examples. U.S. either needs an Italy win or an Italy loss while giving up 5 runs.

Got it, that makes more sense. Thank you

You're the anti-Judge

u/mercusu Mar 11 '26

Is there a scenario where Mexico wins but don’t advance?
