If he actually gets a win and the Rays force a Game 7 he's gonna be a strong contender for WS MVP

Kind of putting the cart before the horse lol. They would need to win 3 in a row against Miz, Henderson, and Gasser

I mean it's a World Series team, they could do that.

Sure. And the more likely scenario is they lose tonight after burning so many pitchers last night and pitching Ras on 3 days rest, which he never does.

Miz will be the easiest to beat

Brewers in 5

How's he going to perform on 4 days rest? Wasn't he on 5 days rest for the season?

9. u/helloWorld69696969 · 2026-10-28 19:34 UTC

Rays in 7

*** @ 7 CST. Been that way all series. Why announce it?

12. u/ManufacturerBest2758 · 2026-10-28 20:16 UTC

Unlikely but would be cool.

13. u/Puzzleheaded-Ad-8684 · 2026-10-28 19:57 UTC

I'm glad you believe in them, they're gonna need it.

14. u/kulmthestatusquo · 2026-10-28 19:59 UTC

Looks that way
