Bold predictions for Brewers-Rays’ World Series matchup

Reviewing the Brew writer Tyler Koerth offers four bold predictions for the World Series matchup between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays, both seeking their franchise's first title. Koerth predicts outfielder Sal Frelick will hit a clutch home run against Tampa Bay's right-handed starters, and that manager Pat Murphy will use an unexpected reliever beyond Trevor Megill, Aaron Ashby, or Abner Uribe to record a save.

Additionally, the writer anticipates Brewers pitching will hold Rays designated hitter Yandy Díaz without an extra-base hit despite his strong postseason. Koerth also predicts left-handed reliever Aaron Ashby will capture World Series MVP honors after throwing 12.1 scoreless innings earlier in October.
