MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Brewers will start Jacob Misiorowski in Game 1 of the World Series, while the Rays have not yet announced their pitcher, with speculation that ace Drew Rasmussen may be saved for Game 2.
- Ken Rosenthal suggests the Rays might start Nick Martinez in Game 1 and Freddy Peralta in Game 3, as the team deliberates on the best pitching strategy.
- Junior Caminero, who hit cleanup in the ALCS, is expected to return to his usual No. 3 spot in the lineup against the right-handed Misiorowski.
- Christian Yelich, the Brewers' new captain, did not play in early NLCS games but is likely to have more opportunities in the World Series due to the Rays' right-handed pitching staff.
