The 2026 World Series reached a dramatic conclusion on Tuesday when the Tampa Bay Rays forced a decisive Game 5 against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers were three outs away from sweeping the series, but the Rays rallied with two runs in the bottom of the 12th inning. This late surge has set the stage for a final matchup on Wednesday, with many experts now weighing in on the outcome of the series-clinching game.

Angelo Magliocca, a top expert from SportsLine, has selected the Brewers to win Game 5 as part of his best bets for the day. According to the latest odds at BetMGM, Milwaukee is the favorite on the road, listed at -155 on the money line. This means bettors must risk $155 to win $100 if the Brewers prevail. Magliocca noted that the Brewers have been unlucky in their recent games, citing errors and hard-hit balls that resulted in outs.

In his analysis, Magliocca highlighted that the Brewers were held without a multi-run inning in Game 4, even though they hit 20 balls hard. He expects more of those opportunities to convert into hits in the final game. Jacob Misiorowski is slated to start for Milwaukee, while the Rays' starting pitcher remains a point of discussion, with Kevin Cash not yet confirming whether Drew Rasmussen will start on short rest.

Wednesday's sports slate also features an NBA matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Indiana Pacers at 7 p.m. ET. The SportsLine Projection Model is backing the 76ers to cover the spread as 5.5-point favorites. Although LeBron James and Jaylen Brown are notable newcomers to the team, the data suggests it remains the team of Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.

Maxey is leading the 76ers in scoring with an average of 28.8 points per game, while Embiid contributes 21.7 points and 9.7 rebounds. The team has started the season with a 3-1 record and boasts the sixth-best scoring defense in the league. The model projects that the 76ers will cover the spread in 55% of its 10,000 simulations for this contest.

In the NFL, SportsLine expert R.J. White has identified the Seattle Seahawks as a strong pick against the Chicago Bears for Monday Night Football. The Seahawks are listed as 3-point favorites. White pointed out that the Bears allow a league-worst 6.3 yards per play, which could benefit the Seahawks' offense. Conversely, the Seahawks possess the best defense in the league, leading in net yards per pass attempt.

The model has returned nearly $19,000 in profit for $100 players on its top-rated NBA picks since 2018, maintaining a streak of four-digit profits for five consecutive seasons. For the current 2026-27 season, the model is on a 26-10 record for top-rated spread picks in the NBA. Bettors can combine the picks for the Brewers, 76ers, and Seahawks for a potential payout of +493.

New users at BetMGM can utilize the bonus code CBSSPORTS to receive $150 in bonus bets if their first wager wins, or up to $1,500 in bonus bets if the qualifying wager loses. This offer is subject to location and specific terms. The sportsbook also provides tools for responsible gaming, including gaming limits, timeout options, and access to helplines such as 1-800-MY-RESET.
