Brewers favored in Game 5: Experts back Milwaukee and Philly 76ers

Angelo Magliocca of SportsLine has selected the Milwaukee Brewers to win Game 5 of the 2026 World Series. The Rays forced a decisive game on Tuesday by scoring two runs in the bottom of the 12th inning. This move stopped the Brewers from sweeping the series three outs earlier.

The Brewers are the road favorite at BetMGM, listed at -155 on the money line. Bettors must wager $155 to win $100 if Milwaukee prevails. Magliocca argued that the Brewers have faced bad luck in recent contests. He cited defensive errors and hard-hit balls that turned into outs.

In Game 4, the Brewers recorded 20 hard-hit balls but failed to score in any multi-run inning. Magliocca expects more of those chances to become hits in the final game. Jacob Misiorowski is scheduled to start for Milwaukee. Manager Kevin Cash has not yet confirmed if Drew Rasmussen will start on short rest for Tampa Bay.

The SportsLine Projection Model also supports the Philadelphia 76ers in their 7 p.m. ET matchup against the Indiana Pacers. The 76ers are favored by 5.5 points. The model predicts the 76ers will cover the spread in 55% of 10,000 simulations. Tyrese Maxey leads the team with 28.8 points per game. Joel Embiid averages 21.7 points and 9.7 rebounds.

The 76ers have a 3-1 record and hold the sixth-best scoring defense in the league. New players LeBron James and Jaylen Brown have joined the roster. However, the data still points to Maxey and Embiid as the primary drivers of the offense.

In the NFL, SportsLine expert R.J. White picked the Seattle Seahawks to beat the Chicago Bears in Monday Night Football. Seattle is a 3-point favorite. White noted that the Bears allow 6.3 yards per play, a league-worst figure. The Seahawks have the best defense in the league based on net yards per pass attempt.
