Brewers on Verge of World Series Title; Betting Promos Available for Game 4

The Milwaukee Brewers stand on the brink of a World Series championship as they prepare for Game 4 against the Tampa Bay Rays. Milwaukee holds a commanding 3-0 series lead, with the potential to clinch the title on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.

As the series heads into a pivotal Game 4, several sportsbooks are offering promotional bonuses for new users. BetMGM is providing a first-bet offer of up to $1,500, where new customers using the promo code FOXNEWS will receive bonus funds matching their initial wager if it loses. Betr is offering $200 in bonuses and four free picks with the promo code FOXNEWS. FanDuel is providing $150 in bonus bets for new users who wager $5 on the game, with the bonus distributed over three days.

Milwaukee has showcased a strong offensive performance throughout the postseason. The Brewers have accumulated 100 hits with a .272 batting average, hitting 11 home runs and 12 doubles. They have also demonstrated speed on the basepaths, leading the postseason with 17 stolen bases. Their ability to draw walks, averaging over four per game, has also contributed to their success, while their strikeout rate remains around eight per game.

In contrast, the Rays have struggled offensively in the World Series, hitting just .221 with eight total postseason home runs, only one of which has come in the series. Despite this, they lead the postseason with 17 doubles. Their walk rate is significantly lower, averaging about two per game, and their strikeout rate is comparable to the Brewers' at around eight per game.

Key players for the Brewers have been highlighted in MVP discussions. Jackson Chourio, tied as a betting favorite at -110, has been a standout with 8 hits, 2 RBIs, and 4 runs scored in the series. William Contreras is also a favorite at -110, boasting 7 hits and 3 RBIs, and has been credited with crucial defensive plays. Other Brewers like Brice Turang and Sal Frelick are listed at longer odds.

The pitching matchup for Game 4 is uncertain for the Brewers, whose bullpen has performed well. Dustin May has made appearances in the postseason and in Game 2 of this series. The Rays are expected to start Griffin Jax, who has allowed four earned runs over six innings in two prior postseason outings. In two regular-season relief appearances against the Brewers, Jax allowed three earned runs without recording an out.

Betting odds for Game 4 show the Brewers as slight moneyline favorites at -125, with the Rays at +104. The over/under for total runs is set at 7, with slight variations in the odds for over and under. The run line favors the Brewers at -1.5 (+141) against the Rays at +1.5 (-171).
