The series promises to be a thrilling matchup, with both teams having made it to the World Series on a shoestring budget.

The World Series will be broadcast in the US on Fox and Fox Deportes, with streaming available through Fox One. In the UK, the series will be carried by TNT Sports, while in Australia, fans can watch on ESPN with streaming available through Disney+ and Kayo Sports.

The series is expected to be a closely contested one, with both teams having a strong pitching staff and a deep lineup. The Brewers have the pitching to win this series, but asking them to weather seven nights of high-leverage situations with traffic on the basepaths is inviting trouble.

The fewer opportunities Tampa Bay have to improvise, the better the Brewers' chances.
