The Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers have dropped both games of their series, leaving the Guardians in a strong position after winning the first game in Tampa Bay.\n\nThe Guardians, managed by Stephen Vogt, are looking to end a 78-year championship drought, making them the underdogs in this matchup. They will be relying on rookie right-hander Parker Messick, who has had a remarkable season, with a 2.56 ERA, to secure the win against the experienced Rays.\n\nThe Rays, looking to avoid a 0-2 hole in their series, will depend on veteran right-hander Freddy Peralta, who has been solid throughout the postseason. Cleveland's Messick will be looking to build on his impressive season performance to help his team advance in the postseason.",
