Brewers World Series Showdown: Is Brandon Woodruff the MISSING PIECE & Can The Miz DOMINATE?!
2026/10/22
On One More Round, Alex Strouf and Will Sommers count down the final 48 hours until Brewers-Rays Game 1 of the World Series! The guys break down why Milwaukee and Tampa Bay are so evenly matched, from their nearly identical offensive numbers to their aggressive baserunning and pitching depth. Plus, they discuss the incredible connections between the two teams, including Freddy Peralta, Drew Rasmussen and Jake Bauers.
Then, should Brandon Woodruff make the Brewers' World Series roster? Strouf believes it's a no-brainer if Woodruff is healthy, arguing that his experience, leadership and potential as a Game 4 opener make him more valuable than Kyle Harrison. Brewers fans weigh in on whether the veteran deserves one final opportunity on baseball's biggest stage.
Finally, does Jacob Misiorowski need to step up for the Brewers to win it all? With The Miz officially named Milwaukee's Game 1 starter, Alex and Will debate whether he needs to pitch deeper into games against a disciplined Rays lineup. The guys also discuss how Pat Murphy can manage his dominant bullpen and why American Family Field's electric atmosphere could make the difference Friday night.

Plus, the latest on Micah Parsons' lengthy recovery timeline, Tucker Kraft's early-season struggles, the explosive receiving duo of Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, and why Evan Williams is developing into one of the NFL's best safeties.
