The Vaqueros de Montería are defending the title won by their compatriots Caimanes de Barranquilla last year and they started in a great way. They crushed the Indios de Mayagüez (Puerto Rico) 7-1 thanks to 13 hits. It was the first victory in the history of the Caribbean Series for the Vaqueros, who in 2020 suffered 5 losses and the first for Colombia against Puerto Rico. Jordan Díaz (4-2) hit a 3-run home run in the 5th inning, but the big star was Francisco Acuña who went 4-for-4 with 4 runs scored and 1 RBI.
The Federales de Chiriquí could not in their debut and fell with the local, Leones de Caracas, by 5-2. The Panamanians could only score their 2 runs in the second inning and it was partly thanks to an error by Arcia on his shot. Although the team showed good things, they have to improve defensively, since they had 5 errors and their pitchers also allowed a run for a base on balls and 8 walks in the game.
Vaqueros de Montería (Colombia) vs. Federales de Chiriquí (Panama) Betting Pick: Vaqueros de Montería (Colombia)

The Agricultores of Cuba started this Caribbean Series and had to fight more than expected to defeat the Wildcats of Curaçao in 10 innings by 3 runs to 1. The Cubans started losing, but they tied it in the eighth inning with a homer from Andrés de la Cruz. Then the victory was thanks to the runs scored by Rafael Viñales, after a double by Guillermo Avilés, and Dennis Laza after a walk.
Tigres de Licey gave one of the surprises of the first day by losing to the Cañeros de Los Mochis from Mexico by 5-4. The Dominicans were leading 4-2 in the eighth inning, when they received 3 runs from the Mexicans that turned the score around and they had no way to reverse it. Without a doubt, their relievers will have to improve to avoid another hard blow like the one they received this Thursday, remembering that despite the casualties, they are one of the great favorites.

A great Reynaldo Rodríguez gave the victory to the Cañeros de Los Mochis in their first game against the Tigres del Licey (Dominican Republic) by 5-4. The Colombian, who only a few days ago was going to play with his country’s team and who last year was chosen MVP of the Caribbean Series, went 4-2 with 2 RBIs, one of them with a home run. The Mexicans scored 3 runs in the eighth inning and showed that they are a team that never gives up.
Curaçao is debuting in the Caribbean Series and was very close to doing so with a win, but lost in 10 innings against Agricultores de Cuba 3-1. It was a good start for the Wildcats and they were close to winning, so they know they can do better, but now they will face a much tougher opponent. Sharlon Schoop was the best on offense and went 3-2 scoring his team’s only run.
Cañeros de Los Mochis (Mexico) vs. Wildcats (Curazao) Betting Pick: Cañeros de Los Mochis (Mexico)
Serie del Caribe 2023 – Leones del Caracas (Venezuela) vs. Indios de Mayagüez (Puerto Rico) – Betting Odds and Free Pick – Info
When: Friday, February 3 at 6:30 pm ET at Estadio Forum
Where Can I Watch it?
The Leones de Caracas, in addition to playing at home and with the fans, is a very good team and they demonstrated it against a tough rival like Panama, which they beat 5-2 and, above all, made them make many mistakes, something not usual for them. One of the great figures was Alí Castillo. The leadoff hitter for the Venezuelan team went 3-3, in addition to receiving 2 walks, scoring 1 run, and driving in 2. He was the only one who had more than 1 hit.
A tough defeat for the Indios de Mayagüez, who lost to the Vaqueros de Montería (Colombia) 7-1. Terrible offensive performance by the team that only had 5 hits, and also defensively, allowing 13 hits: only 1 pitcher did not receive a hit, and he was the only one who pitched 1 inning. Without a doubt, the Puerto Ricans have to improve a lot to be able to stand up to the locals.
