4/ Winner doesn’t just take Game 1, it sets the tone for a series between two teams built almost identically: pitching-first, low payroll, built from the ground up.

3/ Simulation models have Milwaukee at 60.9% at home, but that’s before accounting for how either arm has actually pitched this postseason.

2/ Tonight’s Game 1 is Misiorowski, the presumptive NL Cy Young winner, against Rasmussen, who hasn’t lost all October.

1/ Brewers’ last Series trip was 1982. Rays have been twice, 2008 and 2020, and lost both.

TWO FRANCHISES THAT HAVE NEVER WON A WORLD SERIES. ONE OF THEM STARTS CHANGING THAT TONIGHT. 🧵

SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER’S STREAK OF 20-POINT GAMES ENDED AT 141, AN NBA RECORD. HIS TEAM WON ANYWAY. Thunder beat the Nuggets 96-84. Jalen Williams led OKC with 21 as SGA struggled shooting.
