Rays vs Brewers Prediction

The Brewers should be favored with Misiorowski on the mound, as he’s one of the best arms in baseball and they’ve won 12 straight games with him on the mound. It would also be nice to know who the Rays are throwing out there at the time of this writing.

I’m still grabbing the plus money with the Rays. The Rays have just found ways to win all season long. They were the most profitable team in the regular season and are the second most profitable team in the playoffs. The Rays have also been insanely good at home this season. I’m just going to grab the plus money when I can with a team that’s been good to our bank account all season.

Regardless of whether this is the end of the MLB season, thanks for reading, and see ya again in a few months.
