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.
The Brewers have taken the first two games, but only by two combined runs. Sal Frelick's game-tying home run was a major part of the four-run comeback Milwaukee had in Game 2.
Other than Frelick, only Liam Hicks has homered on Tampa's side - also in Game 2. They'll need from power from Junior Caminero, Yandy Diaz, and Jonathan Aranda to get back in this series.
