What happened: Jon Morosi outlined his ideal World Series ending as a one-run game. He named Aaron Ashby on the mound for Milwaukee against Yandy Diaz at the plate for Tampa Bay.

Why it matters: The Rays set World Series date with Brewers sets up exactly that late-game leverage. A one-run finish would hinge on Milwaukee's mound choice against Tampa Bay's middle order with the title on the line.

What to watch: The series will show whether the late innings produce that one-run scenario. Bullpen order will determine if Ashby draws the assignment against Diaz.
