Rays’ starters and Brewers’ bullpen may shape the World Series

Drew Rasmussen and Freddy Peralta each allowed one run as the Tampa Bay Rays won ALCS Games 5 and 6, beating Cleveland 7-3 on Monday, Oct. 19, to win the series 4-2, the AP reported. Milwaukee swept the Dodgers in the NLCS; four relievers threw five perfect innings in Game 2, and Aaron Ashby closed Game 4 with a nine-out save, MLB.com reported. Read together, they may point to different pitching strengths in the World Series.
