What happened: MLB Tonight debated whether Jacob Misiorowski should have entered Game 4 in relief with a World Series title three outs away. Rather than burning him for a ninth-inning save opportunity, the club held him back for his scheduled Game 5 start.

Why it matters: Preserving a starter for his regular rotation turn instead of using him with a championship three outs away draws immediate scrutiny once a clinching chance slips away. The move places the outcome of that gamble directly on Misiorowski's shoulders as the series shifts to Game 5.

What to watch: Misiorowski takes the mound to start Game 5 of the World Series.
