Either the Tampa Bay Rays or Milwaukee Brewers will be crowned a World Series champion for the first time in franchise history before October concludes.
The two small market teams have both followed similar philosophies to reach this point: elite pitching and defense, plenty of contact and speed, and enough power to hit a home run and flip a game.
Jackson Chourio and Junior Caminero have been each respective team's most dangerous hitter in the playoffs and both hit clutch homers in the NL and AL Championship series'.
Caminero has hit 87 homers over the last two seasons and hit one off Cade Smith in the ALCS-clinching Game 6. Meanwhile, Chourio hit a homer in the NLDS off Robbie Ray and the NLCS on Blake Snell's first pitch of Game 3.
William Contreras, Yandy Diaz, Brice Turang, Jonathan Aranda, and Jake Bauers all have the potential to get hot and go deep, though it'll be tough for any of the Rays hitters to square one up against the Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski.
Take a look at the odds for every player to record a hit and a home run below:
