The Milwaukee Brewers have won their first-ever World Series, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays in five games. The decisive Game 5 concluded with a 4-1 victory for the Brewers in St. Petersburg, Florida, on Oct. 28, 2026. The team secured the championship with contributions from players like Cooper Pratt, who drove in two runs, and a strong pitching performance that ultimately held despite an early exit for Jacob Misiorowski due to calf cramps in the sixth inning.
While the Brewers celebrated a historic on-field achievement, handicapper 'Stitches' concluded the season with a net loss on bets. On the night of the final game, Stitches reported winning bets totaling +550 in what was described as 'robinyounts.' However, this victory was not enough to offset previous losses, leaving the season's final ledger at -961 'dannyfrisellas.'
Stitches, who has been handicapping baseball for the New York Post since 2019, has managed to finish in the black twice during his tenure. He also previously won the Post's NFL Best Bet crown in the preceding year, showcasing versatility across different sports.
