If there were any remaining questions about the Milwaukee Brewers’ dominance, they answered them emphatically last night, stringing together seven consecutive two-out hits in an eight-run fifth inning to effectively seal the World Series. Milwaukee now leads the Tampa Bay Rays 3-0, a deficit from which no team has ever come back to win the Fall Classic.
The series could end as soon as tonight, as the Rays will host the Brewers at 8 p.m. ET. Milwaukee would claim its first-ever title with a win while making Tampa Bay the first team to lose three World Series without winning one.
The Brewers are -125 favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook to finish off the series behind Dustin May. The Rays, who will start Griffin Jax, are +104 on the Moneyline.
Below, I’ll break down my favorite prop bets from tonight’s possible clincher, focusing on one player from each team.
Brewers at Rays Best Prop Bets Tonight for Tuesday 10/27/26
Jonathan Aranda 2+ Total Bases (+157)
Aranda has been the one Tampa Bay hitter to show up so far this series; while Junior Caminero has posted just a .573 OPS across the first three games of the series and Yandy Díaz a .385 mark, Aranda has slashed .444/.500/.556. He recorded a three-hit game in Game 1 and had a double in Game 2, clearing the two-TB threshold for the sixth time in 11 playoff starts and the fourth time in his prior five games. Aranda only entered Game 3 as a pinch hitter because Milwaukee started left-hander Robert Gasser, but seven of the Brewers’ 13 pitchers, including May, are right-handed.
Aranda has the tools to make an impact against May, as he has posted a .470 xSLG against right-handed four-seamers and a .500 xSLG against righty cutters, the two pitches May prefers to throw to lefties. Abner Uribe will undoubtedly see the mound, and Aranda has actually posted a higher slugging percentage against righty sinkers (Uribe’s preferred offering) than any other pitch (minimum 100 pitches). Aranda singled against Uribe in Game 1 and doubled against May in Game 2. Plus, on the off-chance that Milwaukee turns to ace Jacob Misiorowski to close out its first title, Aranda singled and walked against him, too.
Jackson Chourio 1+ Runs (+104)
Chourio both started and ended the fifth-inning explosion in Game 3, singling to start the inning and stealing second base before doubling later in the frame. The latter was his fourth hit of the game, and overall this series, he’s slashed .571/.571/.643 with a series-high four runs scored. He has scored in four of his last five games overall, and he ranked 10th in the National League in runs scored during the regular season despite missing the first month-plus of the season with a fractured hand. The Venezuelan is battling with his teammate and compatriot William Contreras for the World Series MVP Award.
Chourio has a fairly friendly matchup in Jax, whose lone postseason start, in Game 3 of the ALCS against the Cleveland Guardians, didn’t go so well. In that contest, Jax gave up five hits and three earned runs in four innings of work, and he was prone to the occasional blow-up throughout the season. He batted .288 against righty sinkers, one of Jax’s go-to pitches, and Jax had just a 30th-percentile expected batting average. I trust NLCS MVP Jake Bauers, who’s hit second all series, third hitter Christian Yelich (1.007 OPS this World Series), and cleanup man Contreras (multi-hit games in each of the first three games) to drive him in.
