Brewers, 76ers, and Seahawks Lead Betting Slate as Rays Force Decisive Game

The 2026 World Series ends on Wednesday.
The Tampa Bay Rays forced a Game 5 against the Milwaukee Brewers after scoring two runs in the bottom of the 12th inning on Tuesday. The Brewers were three outs from a series sweep before the late rally. Angelo Magliocca, a top expert from SportsLine, has selected Milwaukee to win the clinching game. The Brewers are listed as road favorites at -155 on the money line at BetMGM, requiring a bettor to risk $155 to win $100.
Magliocca noted that recent errors and hard-hit balls resulted in outs for Milwaukee, describing the team as unlucky. He pointed out that the Brewers were held without a multi-run inning in Game 4 despite hitting 20 balls hard. He expects those opportunities to convert into hits in the final game. Jacob Misiorowski is slated to start for Milwaukee. Rays manager Kevin Cash has not yet confirmed if Drew Rasmussen will start on short rest.
