Brewers Look to Extend Home Dominance Behind Henderson in Game 2

The Brewers took Game 1 in a tight 3-2 affair, and now they're sending out their ace to slam the door. Logan Henderson has been absolutely filthy this season—2.47 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, striking out better than 10 per nine—and he gets the nod against Drew Rasmussen, who's solid but a clear step down. That pitching gap matters, especially when Milwaukee has been a buzzsaw at home: 7-0 this postseason, 9-1 in their last 10 overall. The Rays, meanwhile, are 5-5 on the road and just dropped yesterday's contest. They're not dead, but they're bleeding.

The numbers tell the story: Brewers hitting .252 at home, Rays scraping by at .231 on the road. Add in the momentum from last night and Henderson's dominance, and Milwaukee should be closer to a 60-40 favorite here, not the 55-45 the market's giving them at -125. DarkHorse rates this a moderate-confidence play, and it's hard to argue. The Rays have fight, but they're outgunned on the mound and outmatched in the box. Lay the short price and expect Henderson to carve. Brewers -125—take it before the sharps push this line further.
