Rays and Milwaukee Set Up an Exciting World Series Matchup

At the beginning of the year, there was uncertainty about what the Rays would become. They gradually gathered momentum, while Camanero received protection in the lineup.

The Rays lost two of three games in Milwaukee during the opening stretch of the season, but that series offered an early preview of two intriguing teams. Once the Rays found their stride a handful of games into the season, their potential became clearer.

With hindsight, that early series now looks like a preview of a compelling World Series matchup. Both teams have power in their lineups, can get on base, steal bases and pitch effectively. Their bullpen strategies also match up well.

The Rays have been particularly entertaining because of how often they create favorable matchups. This World Series features two talented, exciting teams with multifaceted rosters, offering what could be baseball at its best.
