The win gives the Brewers an early edge as the series shifts toward Game 2.\n\nThe Rays will counter by handing the ball to Drew Rasmussen as they look to even things up. With labor tensions reportedly hanging over the postseason, both teams are trying to keep the focus on the field for now.\n\nNext up is Game 2, with Tampa Bay needing a response to avoid falling into an early hole against a Brewers team that just proved it can win the tight ones.","published_at":"2026-10-24T21:33:56.314364+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Brewers hold on to win World Series Game 1, Rays turn to Drew Rasmussen for Game 2","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/brewers-hold-on-to-win-world-series-game-1-rays-turn-to-drew-rasmussen-for-game-2-054851627.html"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Brewers strike first with victory over Rays in David vs. David World Series","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7717013/2026/10/23/brewers-win-world-series-game-1-rays-misiorowski-contreras/"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"World Series winner prediction: Our expert picks Rays vs. Brewers","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/23/betting/world-series-winner-prediction-rays-vs-brewers-picks-best-bets-odds/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Rays vs. Brewers Game 1 predictions, best bets: Brew Crew strike first in World Series","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/23/betting/rays-vs-brewers-game-1-pick-world-series-best-bets-odds-prediction/"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Rays vs. Brewers live updates: MLB World Series Game 1 predictions, lineups and how to watch","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/live-blogs/rays-vs-brewers-live-updates-mlb-world-series-game-1-score-result/TA98fpvZKSAF/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"The Rays and Brewers are set to face off in Game 1 of the World Series","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/rays-brewers-set-face-off-223143941.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"World Series Game 1: Rays vs. Brewers Discussion","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/world-series-game-1-rays-233000756.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"World Series Game 1, Rays at Brewers: Lineups, broadcast info, and open thread, 10/23/26","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/world-series-game-1-rays-233000810.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"World Series Game 1: Rays at Brewers, 8:00 p.m. ET","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/world-series-game-1-rays-233000815.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"World Series Game Discussion: Brewers vs Rays Game 1 Friday","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/world-series-game-discussion-brewers-235000638.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Rays vs. Brewers prediction, odds, time: 2026 World Series Game 2 picks by proven model for Saturday, Oct. 24","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/betting/news/rays-brewers-prediction-odds-time-2026-world-series-game-2-picks/"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Rays vs. Brewers prediction, odds, time: 2026 World Series Game 2 picks by proven model for Saturday, Oct. 24","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/betting/news/rays-brewers-prediction-odds-time-2026-world-series-game-2-picks-bets/"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Rays vs. Brewers prediction, odds, time: 2026 World Series Game 2 picks by proven model for Saturday, Oct. 24","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/betting/news/rays-brewers-prediction-odds-time-2026-world-series-game-2-picks-best-bets/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rays vs. Brewers live updates, World Series lineups, where to watch: Drew Rasmussen, Logan Henderson take the mound for Game 2","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/live/brewers-rays-box-score-live-updates-world-series-game-2-lineups-starting-pitchers-news-highlights-where-to-watch-230120651.html"}],"image":null,"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
