Milwaukee is one win from the first World Series title in franchise history. The Brewers took Game 3 in Tampa Bay 10-1, then dropped a 12-inning Game 4 by 4-3 after nearly clinching in the ninth. The series is still firmly in their hands at 3-1.
Jacob Misiorowski gets the ball for Game 5. The 24-year-old right-hander went 16-5 with a 1.80 ERA and 252 strikeouts in the regular season, and he allowed one run in five innings in the Game 1 win over these Rays.
Tampa Bay needs a win to keep its season alive, but Milwaukee has not lost back-to-back games since early September and has the better arm on the mound. The favorite on the road in a clincher is the side.
