The Milwaukee Brewers are already rolling, up 2-0 against the Padres in the NLDS, and now there’s this absolutely bonkers World Series prediction swirling around Jacob Misiorowski that’ll have you doing a double take. This Brewers squad looks totally poised for a deep October run, maybe even all the way to the World Series as they chase their first-ever title. And if they get there, players like Misiorowski could seriously become MLB legends with a couple of huge performances.
The Prediction: What Karabell Said
That’s exactly what ESPN’s Eric Karabell is banking on, but with a twist so wild it’s hard to believe. Karabell is predicting the likely NL Cy Young winner, Misiorowski, will kick off a combined no-hitter in the World Series. Yeah, you read that right. He literally said, “Miz & Co. will combine for a World Series no-hitter.” Karabell tries to play it off, saying it’s “not as bold as it might seem,” and points to the Houston Astros pulling off their own combined no-hitter in 2022. Look, Misiorowski has been the best pitcher in baseball this year, so him starting something special wouldn’t be a shocker. Plus, with that elite Brewers bullpen, you could definitely see them shutting down whichever AL team they’d face.
Why This World Series Call Is Pure Chaos
Here’s the deal: even though a combined no-hitter is way more likely than a traditional one, especially in the postseason, this prediction is still a total long shot. We’re talking incredibly unlikely. Like, even with the Astros doing it four years ago, calling for the Brewers to do it this year, led by Misiorowski, is a massive leap. The Brewers winning the World Series, straight up, is actually more probable than them throwing a no-hitter at any point in the postseason. Let’s be real, predicting it in the World Series takes it to another level of improbable. It’s a fun, bold call for Brewers fans to dream on, but it is incredibly unlikely. This is not even remotely likely to happen this postseason.
So, while that no-hitter talk is fun for the barstool debates, let’s keep our eyes on the real prize for Milwaukee right now: that NLCS berth they can clinch Tuesday night. They’re on the hunt for their first title, and that’s the kind of October run we’re here for.
