Brewers favored at -155 in Game 5; model sees 55% coverage for 76ers

The 2026 World Series extends to a fifth game on Wednesday after the Tampa Bay Rays scored two runs in the bottom of the 12th inning on Tuesday. The late rally prevented a Milwaukee Brewers sweep and sets up a decisive matchup. Angelo Magliocca, a top expert from SportsLine, has selected the Brewers to win the series-clinching contest.

Milwaukee enters the game as the road favorite, listed at -155 on the money line at BetMGM. This odds line requires bettors to risk $155 to win $100. Magliocca argues the Brewers have been unlucky in recent contests, citing defensive errors and hard-hit balls that have resulted in outs. He noted that the team hit 20 balls hard in Game 4 but failed to record a multi-run inning. He expects those opportunities to convert into hits in the final game.

Jacob Misiorowski is slated to start for Milwaukee. Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash has not yet confirmed whether Drew Rasmussen will start on short rest. The game follows a dramatic Tuesday where the Rays forced the extra frame despite being three outs from defeat.

Sports betting activity extends beyond the World Series on Wednesday. The SportsLine Projection Model favors the Philadelphia 76ers to cover the spread as 5.5-point favorites against the Indiana Pacers at 7 p.m. ET.

Tyrese Maxey leads the 76ers in scoring with an average of 28.8 points per game. Joel Embiid contributes 21.7 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. The model notes that despite recent roster additions, the team's identity remains tied to these two players.

In the NFL, expert R.J. White identifies the Seattle Seahawks as a strong pick against the Chicago Bears for Monday Night Football. The Seahawks are listed as 3-point favorites. White points out that the Bears allow a league-worst 6.3 yards per play. The Seahawks hold the best defense in the league, leading in net yards per pass attempt.
