The Milwaukee Brewers are tipped to clinch the series against the Tampa Bay Rays, with the main recommendation being a Brewers win on the moneyline. Jacob Misiorowski, projected to start, has been dominant all season, boasting a 16-5 record, 1.80 ERA, and 252 strikeouts, and is 2-0 as a starter against Tampa this season. He allowed just one earned run in Game 1 of the series. The under 6.5 total runs market is also highlighted, as both projected starters, Misiorowski and Drew Rasmussen, have a combined ERA of 4.47. Tampa Bay must win to stay alive, but Milwaukee's postseason form is compelling.

Verdict

Tampa Bay kept their World Series flame flickering last night, but the Brewers are backed to put it out here.

Misiorowski has been dominant all season long and gave up just one run to the Rays in the series opener, and we are backing him to shut down the hosts again as Milwaukee wrap this up.
