Brewers vs. Rays: World Series Game Betting Preview

You've got to give him credit. I think Nick Martinez, he's not going to see a third time through the order. We know that's the problem with Nick Martinez. But the bullpens are all rested. So it really does, if they somehow can get Miz to do what he's done, actually, what, two playoff starts, Greg, he has not gone past, what, I think eight and a third innings total in two starts in the postseason. So if that trend follows, I got to think advantage Tampa Bay early on here, no? Well, I mean, the Brewers so far, which is crazy, the Brewers so far have trailed six times in the postseason, giving up the first run, and they're 5-1 in those games, and the rest of baseball is 7-22. So Joe, I know what you're thinking, and it sounds great on paper, but you're not dealing with an average team at this point the brewers it doesn't seem to matter if they get to the other if they get to their own starting pitcher they find a way to come back and win so yeah i mean i i i don't think Mizorowski is a seven inning or six inning pitcher in this postseason and i don't think he's in the world series joe i think he probably he's probably very similar to nick martinez in this one he goes five the question is can the brewers bridge that to the seventh because that's really all they're going to need is seven eight and nine and as we saw they were not afraid to throw McGill out there for a fourth time they didn't use them and they let Ashby go but remember Ashby's a guy that can go two innings as well so they can bring Uribe in the sixth Ashby seventh and eighth bring McGill in the eighth and try and close it out on the ninth and you gave the data the team that wins first usually ends up winning the World Series so I think the Rays would just be fortunate to get any game out of this if they can I can't pick them tonight i i certainly won't uh but but my but my hunch is tomorrow they'll have a shot to win number i mean it's ballooned up to plus 165 170 for the Tampa Bay Rays it feels great listen all things being equal i don't think there's going to be a ton of runs being scored here tonight six and a half is the uh is the total we've seen the public of course uh loving the over in this spot But, again, Nick Martinez is going to go out there and see three or four innings at most. The bullpen's going to come in. I don't know. It feels like unders across the board here tonight, though, no? Yep, probably so. I would think that until they get back to St. Petersburg because in this controlled environment like Milwaukee, the Brewers have had a ton of success. Everyone is rested. If the game, if Tampa Bay leads after eight, they probably close it out without a run. The Rays 92-0 leading after eight innings. I mean, that's a staggering number, too. So you know that if Baker comes in in the ninth, then he's all likelihood going to close it out, and so will McGill. You know, look, the home run is the key to any of these games going over. And really, the biggest home run threat is going to be Junior Caminero, who really hasn't hit a lot of home runs in the postseason. He's 0-3 with two strikeouts against Mizorowski. He saw him on opening day. So I am with you here. I do not think the same scenario plays in St. Pete, though. I will say that. I do think that there could be some runs coming in those games, especially after the top starters sort of make their way out of this thing after game one and game two. But I suspect tonight and tomorrow in particular, I find it hard to believe that we'll get eight or nine runs in either game. I'm with you. I think especially you said it. We talked about it earlier this week. We're going to learn whether or not having that much time off and a little bit of rust comes into play here for Milwaukee. Even with Nick Martinez, I think it's going to come into play and not Rasmussen on the board. So first five under, three and a half. Can I get you to join me on that here tonight, Craig? Yes, and I think first five, you know, Brewers leading, you know, whatever that is. Yeah, probably so. I would even, you know, pair it up with something else.
