Tampa Bay Rays vs Milwaukee Brewers Predictions
The Brew Crew took Game 1 last nigh by a 3-2 counts. Christian Yelich started things off with a first inning Triple to plate Jackson Chourio. William Contreras followed with an RBI single to score Yelich and Milwaukee got off to an early 2-0 lead. The Brewers took a 3-1 lead into the 9th inning but things got very interesting. A botched double play by Milwaukee (which had to be reviewed) led to a Tampa run before closer Trevor McGill could shut the door.

Tampa Bay Rays vs Milwaukee Brewers Picks
Best Bet: Tampa Bay Rays +112 Lucky Rebel
I mentioned in yesterday's piece I was surprised at Kevin Cash opting for Nick Martinez. That decision cost him early as the Brewers quickly put up 2 runs in the 1st inning. Due to that, however, the Rays are in a great spot to take Game 2. Rasmussen has had a fantastic season as he went 16-5 with an ERA of 2.67 on a WHIP of .091 and an opponent batting average of .199. The Tampa Bay Ace was just as good, or even better, on the road where he went 9-1 with an ERA of 2.90 on a WHIP of 1.04. In this postseason thus far Rasmussen has shined as he is 2-0 with a 1.27 ERA on a sparkling 0.76 WHIP. He went 7 innings in his lone road start, allowing 1 run on only 4 hits.
Milwaukee used their top 3 relievers last night as Megill, Ashby and Uribe all saw action while Tampa's big arms did not enter the game, which is a major plus for the Rays as they are better equipped to shorten this game. Tampa has won 14 of Rasmussen's last 15 starts and the Rays are 10-0 when he pitches after a Tampa Bay loss. Tampa holds the value tonight and I like them to tie up the series.
Best Bet: Tampa Bay Rays vs Milwaukee Brewers 1st 3 Innings Under 1.5 +114 Lucky Rebel
I gave you insight on Drew Rasmussen above, so let's look at Milwaukee starter Logan Henderson. The right hander had a fantastic season going 11-3 with an ERA of 2.47 on a WHIP of 0.84 on and opponent batting average of .183. At home, Logan went 6-0 with an ERA of 1.84 on a WHIP of 0.77. He has given up 3 earned runs in 9 innings thus far in the playoffs, that along with a long layoff is a concern for sure but I'll still go with high risk/high reward wager that we have a very quiet 1st trip trough the lineups for each of these starters.
