Both teams are turning to their No. 1 pitcher in Game 5 of the World Series at Tropicana Field on Oct. 28, with the Milwaukee Brewers sending Tobias Misiorowski to the mound and the Tampa Bay Rays countering with Drew Rasmussen. Misiorowski is the presumed favorite to win the National League Cy Young, while Rasmussen is pitching on just three days rest - an unusual move given his last start didn't go well, with the Brewers scoring three earned runs on six hits in 3⅔ innings.
