The Milwaukee Brewers have a 2-0 series lead after hanging on to a 5-4 win in Game 2 vs. the Tampa Bay Rays. They’ll look to put a stranglehold on this series with a win in Game 3.
Both matchups have been one-run games, so it’s an extremely close series. The Rays have the slight edge in this one because they’re at home and Freddy Peralta is on the mound, going up against Robert Gasser. First pitch is at 8 p.m. ET.
With that in mind, let’s look into prediction markets to see where the best trades are for Game 3.
The Rays are priced at 52 cents to win this game. This makes sense because of how well Freddy Peralta has been pitching. The former Brewer has allowed one earned run or fewer in 10 consecutive appearances.
The total is set at 7.5 runs, with the Under favored at 56 cents. This feels a touch too high considering the pitching matchup and how strong these bullpens are. Not to mention that Robert Gasser has also been effective lately, allowing one earned run or fewer in six straight starts.
I’m going with the Rays to win this game at 52 cents. The key for me here is Freddy Peralta, who has rediscovered his form since getting dealt to Tampa at the trade deadline. It’s a must-win spot for the Rays, so I’m expecting them to get it done here.
On top of that, we have to mention how good they’ve been at home this season, as highlighted by their 55-26 record. The Brewers were a good road team this year (48-33 record), but considering what’s at stake for the Rays (avoiding a 3-0 series deficit), I’ll buy into them here. With how close this series has been, it feels like the Rays take care of business here.
In looking at MLB prediction markets, we see that there has been limited movement on this Brewers vs Rays game so far. Tampa has been locked in at 52 cents. I’m taking the Rays to avoid a 3-0 series deficit behind a strong outing from Freddy Peralta. He was a Brewer for several years, so I can see him getting it done against his former team here.
