Biggest questions for World Series Game 5: Where will Rays turn to avoid elimination (again)?

Following a dramatic 4-3 victory in twelve innings during Tuesday's fourth contest, the Tampa Bay Rays successfully avoided a sweep and trimmed the Milwaukee Brewers' series advantage to 3-1. Historically, teams facing a 3-0 deficit boast a dismal recovery rate, but those down 3-1 retain a 14.6 percent chance of completing a miraculous postseason comeback, including a .500 historical record specifically in the fifth game.

As the championship matchup shifts to the upcoming elimination battle, manager Kevin Cash faces difficult decisions regarding his pitching rotation after heavily taxing seven different arms during the previous extra-inning triumph. Meanwhile, the opposing side plans to send Jacob Misiorowski to the mound as the squad looks to secure its inaugural title.
