Rays

Freddy Peralta (10-11, 4.42 ERA, 1.33 WHIP) gets the nod for the Rays,, and they have won all four of his playoff appearances: three starts and one relief appearance, totaling 16 1/3 innings and allowing only two runs. He has not given up more than one run in any of his last nine starts. One of his worst starts of the season came against the Brewers while with the New York Mets before the trade to Tampa Bay, when he allowed seven runs in 5 1/3 innings. This season, Peralta has logged 169 innings, striking out 156 and walking 63.

Brewers vs. Rays Prediction:  Brewers ML +102

The Brewers have won the first two games of this series like they have most of the playoffs, with clutch hitting and great bullpen work. In the playoffs, their bullpen ERA is only 1.24, while Tampa’s is 3.62. In this series, the Milwaukee bullpen has allowed only one run in 10 innings. Both starters will pitch well, but Milwaukee will continue its postseason success with timely hits and strong bullpen work as it wins another close game to take a commanding 3-0 series lead and only one win away from its first World Series title.

The most popular US sportsbooks have many sports to bet on and no lack of MLB betting markets.

Brewers vs. Rays Picks, Props and Best Bets

• Robert Gasser Under 3.5 strikeouts: (-150, BetMGM) – Gasser has not struck out more than three batters in three of his last four starts, including both in the playoffs, and he will likely not last long since the Milwaukee bullpen has been lights out.
• Jackson Chourio to record an RBI: (+208, DraftKings) – Pretty good odds for Chourio to record an RBI, and he leads the Brewers in the playoffs with eight RBIs in the 10 games.
• William Contreras to record 2+ bases: (+150, DraftKings) – I have taken this prop in the first two games of this series, where he had 2+ bases in each. Contreras is batting .395 in the playoffs and has 25 total bases in the 10 games.
