Who do you think wins it all, Nebo?

Tough call at this time, but I think Japan will not three-peat. So that leaves either the United States, Venezuela or South Korea as my current favorites. Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic all have a punchers chance of winning it all too. In a nutshell, any of the Superpowers are capable of winning it. I'll make a more definitive choice in a few weeks.

Do you guys know if there will be an online streaming service a la mlb.tv or equivalent? I don't think I want to shell out cash to get cable tv.

Welcome to the Forum, at this moment no announcement has been made about a streaming service. Currently in the United States, MLB Network has exclusive English rights and ESPN Deportes has exclusive Spanish rights.
