Angelo Magliocca of SportsLine has selected the Milwaukee Brewers to win Game 5 of the 2026 World Series. The team is listed at -155 on the money line at BetMGM, making them the road favorite against the Tampa Bay Rays. This odds structure requires bettors to risk $155 to profit $100 on a successful wager.

The series reached its deciding game after the Rays scored two runs in the bottom of the 12th inning on Tuesday. The late rally prevented a Milwaukee sweep and forced a final matchup scheduled for Wednesday. Magliocca noted that the Brewers have experienced bad luck recently, including fielding errors and hard-hit balls that resulted in outs.

In Game 4, Milwaukee hit 20 balls hard but failed to record a multi-run inning. Magliocca expects those opportunities to convert into hits in the final game. Jacob Misiorowski is slated to start for the Brewers. The Rays have not confirmed their starter, with manager Kevin Cash yet to decide if Drew Rasmussen will pitch on short rest.

The SportsLine Projection Model also supports the Philadelphia 76ers in their NBA game against the Indiana Pacers at 7 p.m. ET. The 76ers are 5.5-point favorites and cover the spread in 55% of the model's 10,000 simulations. Tyrese Maxey leads the team with an average of 28.8 points per game, while Joel Embiid averages 21.7 points and 9.7 rebounds.

The 76ers hold a 3-1 record and rank sixth in the league for scoring defense. The model has generated nearly $19,000 in profit for $100 players on top-rated NBA picks since 2018. For the current 2026-27 season, the model holds a 26-10 record on top-rated spread picks.

In the NFL, SportsLine expert R.J. White favors the Seattle Seahawks over the Chicago Bears for Monday Night Football. The Seahawks are 3-point favorites. White pointed out that the Bears allow a league-worst 6.3 yards per play. The Seahawks lead the league in net yards per pass attempt allowed.

New users at BetMGM can use the code CBSSPORTS to receive $150 in bonus bets if their first wager wins, or up to $1,500 if it loses. Bettors can combine picks for the Brewers, 76ers, and Seahawks for a potential payout of +493.
