World Series Game 1 Preview: Rays Pitching Uncertainty and Yelich's Role

Game 1 of the World Series is set to take place in Milwaukee, with Jacob Misiorowski starting for the Brewers. The Tampa Bay Rays have not yet disclosed their starting pitcher, although Drew Rasmussen is considered a likely candidate.

There is speculation that the Rays may opt to start Nick Martinez in Game 1 to give Rasmussen additional rest, with Freddy Peralta slated for Game 3. Rays officials were reportedly discussing their pitching strategy recently.

Junior Caminero, who has been a consistent presence in the lineup, is expected to return to the No. 3 spot against Misiorowski. Meanwhile, Christian Yelich, who did not play in Game 1 of the NLCS, is anticipated to have a prominent role in the World Series, as the Rays' rotation consists entirely of right-handed pitchers.
