Jacob Misiorowski will take the mound for Milwaukee in Game 1 of the World Series tomorrow, while Tampa Bay has yet to announce its pitching plans.
The Rays may hold ace Drew Rasmussen until Game 2 for additional rest, according to a theory from Ken Rosenthal. In that scenario, Nick Martinez would start the opener, with Freddy Peralta scheduled for Game 3. Rays officials said yesterday they were "deliberating over how to proceed," Rosenthal reported.
Milwaukee features a righty-heavy rotation and rarely deploys openers. The Rays counter with an entirely right-handed staff of Rasmussen, Martinez, Peralta and Griffin Jax.
Junior Caminero, who hit cleanup in the ALCS clincher after batting third throughout the ALDS, is expected to return to the third spot against Misiorowski.
Brewers captain Christian Yelich was benched against left-handers Tarik Skubal in Game 1 and Blake Snell in Game 3 of the NLCS, with Andrew Vaughn starting at DH in the opener.
