Verdict
Tampa Bay kept their World Series flame flickering last night, but the Brewers are backed to put it out here.
Misiorowski has been dominant all season long and gave up just one run to the Rays in the series opener, and we are backing him to shut down the hosts again as Milwaukee wrap this up.
