A few thoughts about the Brewers vs. Rays World Series
The World Series kicks off Friday in Milwaukee between the first pair of clubs without a championship since 1980’s Royals‑Phillies clash. The Brewers, with only one prior pennant (1982), and the Rays, winners of two prior World Series appearances (2008, 2020), both boast strong recent postseason runs—eight and six trips respectively. Despite the Rays’ large TV market (ranked #11), they’re labeled “small market” due to low payroll (28th), while Milwaukee sits at the MLB’s smallest market (#38). A new Tampa stadium and a fresh ownership group could boost the Rays’ market status. The author predicts a competitive, likely seven‑game series and backs the Rays, noting the postseason’s blend of predictability and randomness.
